Chapter 1203: Plan
With a plan in mind, Liu Guangzheng put down the book in his hand, but he was thinking about handing the knife to his uncle in public in the court tomorrow.
Uncle Guo's people also took a lot of money for city defense, but Uncle Guo definitely didn't mind and used this as an excuse to kill people.
If he reveals his purpose now but does not keep it secret, it will be difficult to achieve and many variables will be added.
Therefore, after Liu Guang put down the fold, he picked up another one.
This one is about asking for credit, saying that Wu Qi from the Southern Wilderness defeated one hundred thousand Huang Tianjun, and asked the imperial court to pardon the general.
It turns out that when the late emperor was still alive, because the imperial court was weak, he allowed the heroes of the people to recruit soldiers on their own. If they could kill thieves, they would be rewarded by the imperial court.
This is undoubtedly a bit like drinking poison to quench thirst.
In his previous life, he was held hostage by Cao Zheng, which was the result of being too big to lose.
In my previous life, if I could look at the world, I would have discovered that neither eunuchs nor uncles were my real enemies. My biggest enemies were the powerful ones from the beginning to the end.
However, that is all a matter later. For now, with the existence of those powerful men, the uncle did not dare to act rashly. In the past life, those powerful men raised armies and used the method of the uncle to abolish the emperor and wanted to rebel, so he used The heroes raised their troops, and the Qing emperor sided...
Uncle Guo was later killed, but his situation did not change.
In this regard, what Liu Guangzheng was thinking was, if they were all powerful, wouldn't it mean that there were no powerful people? !
This idea may seem silly, but it allows you to trade space for time and gain control of your own power.
Even the late emperor may not have had such an idea.
No matter which side is stronger, he will send troops to fight against thieves to maintain balance.
The only problem is that if you are not careful, you can easily lose it.
Once the rebellious heart is established, it will be difficult to calm it down.
Furthermore, he had the impression that Wu Qi, or Wu Qi's nephew Wu Yuan, was a fierce general.
At this moment, he is the emperor, and many powerful generals in history have not yet risen. He can completely collect those people, whether he is trapped in the capital, let these people fight with each other, or take some of them as his own Using it is not a loss for him, it is weakening the power of those powerful people.
With this thought, he did not hesitate to artificially create some powerful people, so as to weaken the power of those powerful people.
As for Huang Tianjun mentioned in the excerpt, Liu Guangzheng actually didn't care. He remembered that Taoist Huang Tianjun would die in another year. Even if he was the emperor and the other party rebelled against him, for this Taoist, he, as a modern People actually appreciate it.
It's just that in this era, the common people are the most weak and incompetent group, and it is impossible to succeed in rebellion.
Throughout the ages, no real peasant uprising has ever succeeded.
He was also in a trough in his previous life, and only then did he think clearly about the problems inside.
Even though it was Ming Taizu who was said to be a beggar in his previous life, his wife was still a young lady from a wealthy family, and his godfather was the largest landowner in the Huaixi generation. The subsequent army launched an army against those wealthy families and those businessmen. , taking nothing in exchange for their support.
If you really dare to attack the local tycoons to divide their land, it is a matter of death...
I remember that about a year later, Taoist Huang Tiandao died, and Huang Tiandao was defeated again. Then, Huang Tiandao's successor was incompetent, until finally, even Taoist Huang Tiandao's body was dug up, his bones were smashed and ashes were thrown away, and he was destroyed. Huang Tiandao, his last breath.
"Oh, Huang Tian is ready..."
Liu Guangzheng smiled, as if he was laughing at Taoist Huang Tian for not overestimating his abilities, but in fact he was also laughing at himself in his previous life.
At that time, how dare I dare to teach the sun and moon to change the sky...
After smiling, Liu Guangzheng asked in a childish voice: "Who handed over this booklet?"
Hearing this, the eunuch standing beside him quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it was Eunuch Pang who handed it over."
"Go and ask Pang Hu to come see me."
Liu Guangzheng said.
This Pang Hu is the largest eunuch in the palace and the person who wields power.
About a quarter of an hour later, a fat old eunuch hurried over. When he saw Liu Guangzheng, he immediately bowed to him.
In his previous life, he had killed this person so early that he would no longer have any available power.
"stand up!"
While speaking, Liu Guangzheng had already thrown the fold over, which startled Pang Hu.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this statement?!"
Pang Hu was actually not afraid in his heart, but on the surface, he looked scared.
"Zhezi is no problem."
Liu Guangzheng waved back.
"Eunuch Pang, you are the one left behind by the late emperor. Before his death, the late emperor told me that only Eunuch Pang can be trusted in the palace."
"But just two days ago, my uncle told me that Eunuch Pang, you are secretly collecting bribes from outside the palace, and the price of your official position is clearly marked."
"Not only that, my uncle asked me to kill you after seeing your name."
"It's just that Eunuch Pang, you also know that I trust you the most. I just thought that Uncle Guo was confused, so I didn't believe it. But this story and this name are exactly the same as what Uncle Guo told me. Could it be that Guo Gu Does uncle have the ability to predict?"
At this point, Liu Guangzheng's voice became cold and stern, and Pang Hu became truly afraid, not of Liu Guangzheng, but of his uncle.
He and Uncle Guo have never gotten along, so this is probably a case of like repelling each other.
"Your Majesty is wronged!"
At this moment, Pang Hu was dripping with cold sweat.
Suddenly he realized that he seemed to have all the power, but without the emperor's protection, he would be killed in an instant.
It would be fine if there were no powerful ministers in the court. If there were powerful ministers, his authority would actually be empty.
And what he relies on is nothing else but the emperor's favor.
Before I felt sorry for myself, because the little emperor was young and easy to bully, he actually forgot this.
It's because he and the little emperor still have feelings for each other, otherwise he might be dead.
"This buying and selling of officials and titles was not done by a slave alone, but was ordered by the late emperor. The money also went into the late emperor's private treasury. Everything can be checked in the accounts..."
Pang Hu hurriedly explained, and at the same time, he was even more resentful towards his uncle, but it didn't show on his face at all.
When Liu Guangzheng saw this, he knew that Pang Hu finally figured it out and knew who was the master and who was the slave.
Eunuchs are just like women. If they are distant, they will be angry, but if they are too close, they will be lawless, forget their own status, and even stand on top of others.
As for why Liu Guangzheng dared to directly suppress Pang Hu like this, it was from the experience of his first life.
Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch in the late Ming Dynasty, was much more arrogant than Pang Hu, but with an imperial edict from Chongzhen, he was knocked out of the mortal world and committed suicide on the way home.
The same thing happened when I killed someone in my previous life. It was just an imperial edict and I killed him directly.
But the consequence after killing him is to cut off his own arm.
Therefore, in this life, Liu Guangzheng only suppressed, struck but did not kill, and took away the opponent's arrogance, so that he could naturally use it.
When dealing with eunuchs, if you are weak, they will be strong; conversely, if you are strong, they will be weak.
"Of course I believe in father-in-law."
Liu Guangzheng smiled.
"My father-in-law is loyal to the king and the country. I think this matter is because my uncle didn't know the inside story."
Liu Guangzheng deliberately emphasized the word loyalty.
"As for Wu Qi, since he can defeat Huang Tian's thieves, he should be named General Pingnan!"
As soon as these words came out, Pang Hudun felt both hate and joy. While he hated his uncle even more, he was happy that the emperor still loved him so much. Regarding this matter, he picked it up high and put it down gently.
Just the word "Pingnan" shows the strong connection with the saints.
In fact, Liu Guangzheng just felt that the other party was useful, so he gave him a stick and some sweet dates.
Eunuchs are the most petty, and it is naturally not a good thing for my uncle to be jealous of such a person.
As for the roster, he actually made it up completely. Pang Hu couldn't go to confront the Imperial Master anyway.
But Pang Hu felt that although the emperor sitting above him was young, he actually had a somewhat mysterious meaning.
He was an old man for several dynasties, and he couldn't help but think that although the late emperor was weak, his son was actually a bit like the Emperor Wu. His previous weakness was just to hide his strength and bide his time.
As for Emperor Wu, he was the emperor who killed the prince. In his youth, he was extremely brave and brave.
As soon as this thought came out, he already had some loyalty to Liu Guangzheng.
Eunuchs are like this. They tend to act according to the prevailing circumstances. If the master is weak, they will easily become disloyal. But if the master is strong, the more powerful the eunuch is, the more loyal the eunuch will be.
Of course, Liu Guangzheng is still a long way from letting Pang Hu return completely, but with such a start, the rest of the matter will be much easier to handle.
A few minutes later, Pang Hu walked out of the study. In his heart, in this short period of time, he had already thought of many ways to deal with Uncle Guo. Uncle Guo actually wanted to kill him, which he could not tolerate.
Indeed, although it was impossible for me to defeat my uncle, I could still make him feel uncomfortable for a while.
Otherwise, just anyone can say that he wants to kill him, but he hasn't had any backlash yet. Doesn't this tell everyone that anyone can step on him? !
In the study room, Liu Guangzheng also fell into silence, but he did not expect that among the Gonggun princes, the most loyal one was actually a powerful eunuch.
It had been two days since he was reborn, and after his rebirth, he discovered that he had the strange ability to see the light in a person.
Among them, the heavier the golden glow, the more loyal you are to yourself.
Through this, he also understood more and more why the ancient emperors knew that their eunuchs were doing bad things, but they still protected them.
The reason is also simple. Although the other party is bad, he is loyal enough.
When he was an ordinary person, he wished he could kill such a traitor quickly, but when he became the emperor, he felt that such people could still be used, but it was those good ministers who were boastful and talkative, who were the ones who really deserved to be killed... …
The biggest difference between a superior and a subordinate is the difference in thinking. If it is not reversed, it will not be good to be a superior.
That is, if I travel through time, be reborn once, and have such superpowers, can I really make the world come alive? !
