The county lord of Nihuang County has 100,000 iron horsemen in his hands, and this kind of powerful power is something that both King Yu and the crown prince aspire to have.
When Emperor Liang prepared for Nihuang's martial arts competition, both the crown prince and King Yu had already made a choice for her, but Nihuang didn't seem to consider marrying her to someone else. In order to avoid the crown prince being chosen, he had to agree to King Yu's request to marry her. With the assistance of Mei Changsu, this "forced marriage arrangement" was successfully avoided. ”
Nihuang's influence is so appealing that some people will not hesitate to do anything.
Concubine Yue summoned Nihuang into the palace and induced her to taste a fine wine called "Love Silk". She says that it is a wine made from natural plants that can make people fall asleep without even realizing it. Once the wine is drunk, the body becomes weak.
Concubine Yue planned to force the county lord to marry the moment Sima Lei and Nihuang prepared their meals. The crown prince is going to give him all his property and then be a big man in the harem. In this way, the crown prince grasped the influence of Nihuang.
The Lord of Nihuang is no ordinary woman, she is a general who has been fighting on the battlefield for ten years, and foreseeing that the situation may be against her, she does everything she can to flee out of the door.
When the Lord of Nihuang found that he could no longer resist and was about to fall into the hands of the enemy, King Jing suddenly appeared, and he successfully repelled the guards, thus saving Nihuang.
If King Jing did not appear in time, the conspiracy between Concubine Yue and the crown prince would not have succeeded.
King Jing saves Nihuang and takes righteous action. What the hell is going on?However, instead of rewarding him, the emperor punished him. In the end, King Yu appeared and took all the responsibility, and King Jing was spared as a result.
In this series of events, King Yu, who finally appeared, not only raised his status in the emperor's heart, but also received a generous reward for it.
Everyone thinks that King Jing is not worth mentioning. After in-depth analysis, we realized that King Yu only won on the surface, and the real winner is still King Jing.
Emperor Liang showed obvious prejudice.
In the incident of Concubine Yue's attempt to force the county lord to marry, thanks to the testimony of King Jing and the divine help of the great commander, the truth of the matter gradually became clear. Although the emperor only punished Concubine Yue, and both Nihuang and King Jing expressed dissatisfaction with this, no one dared to refute the emperor's decision
After the incident was over, the emperor's focus turned to King Jing again.
The emperor's eyes fell on King Jing, who had been kneeling, with a straight back and a cold expression, sighed deeply, and said to King Jing: "Jing Yan, how did you learn that Nihuang was in trouble in Zhaoren Palace and went in to rescue him?"The palace is deep, you have never had any contact with Zhaoren Palace, why did you suddenly think of entering?”
The emperor looked at King Jing with serious eyes, as if as long as King Jing said a wrong word, he would be severely punished.
Originally, due to the Chiyan incident, the emperor did not have a good impression of King Jing, and King Jing's actions today were indeed suspicious, and the emperor's attitude towards him became even colder.
However, King Jing could not give this answer. Because once this is said, it is possible to involve the innocent Mengda commander, King Jing is the person with the most sense of justice, and he will not do anything harmful. But he is such a person. What's more, rescuing the county lord, this matter was right from the beginning. He didn't want to cause trouble for the Montennese commander.
Fortunately, Yuwang arrived at the scene in time!
Father, the emperor, was actually the son who asked Jing Yan to enter the Zhaoren Palace. ”
When King Yu said this, Nihuang and King Jing both set their eyes on him, King Jing looked confused, but he didn't dare to describe it too exaggeratedly. On the neon night, the neon-like light swayed in the bright moon and breeze, while the two men watched them silently, as if they didn't see anything. The county lord's eyes were full of contempt, and she was clearly aware that someone who had robbed the merit was coming.
After King Yu's clever words and excellent debate, the emperor gradually believed that King Jing's entry into the palace was a request from King Yu, but the emperor was still determined to investigate the incident of King Jing holding the prince hostage with a knife.
King Yu said without hesitation that he would share the responsibility with King Jing, which was the emperor's decision.
Although the emperor did not inquire about King Jing's faults, he still generously rewarded King Jing: "Jing Huan, King Yu, because of his keen observation and timely decision-making, I am deeply gratified. Therefore, I hereby reward him with a hundred brocade horses, ** thousand taels, and a Nanzhu as a reward. ”
King Yu's face was filled with joy, and he gladly accepted the gift from the emperor. She had a happy and joyful smile on her face. The queen stood aside, her heart full of comfort, and she breathed a sigh of relief to learn that the emperor had received the emperor's gift, and the concubine Yue was demoted to a concubine, and the queen tried to hide her joy.
Those who work sincerely but are not good at expressing themselves will be reproached if they do not even have a word of praise;People who don't pay attention to principles and rules, but can get things done well, will eventually become successful. Those who did not act, but were eloquent, eventually triumphed.
The reward and punishment mechanism implemented by the emperor made Nihuang, who had always maintained a neutral position, show a dissatisfied expression.
Did King Jing really not get anything?Not really, but in this incident, King Jing became the most rewarding figure.
First of all, only without the care and support of Emperor Liang can we have the possibility of rising.
When the argument between the lord of Nihuang and the concubine Yue continued, King Jing entered the palace to testify. From the time King Jing entered the palace and knelt down to the time he stated all the facts, the emperor's eyes were full of suspicion and his attitude towards him was also cold.
Today, Erchen walked into the courtyard of Zhaoren Palace, and he witnessed the scene of the county lord being delirious. And at that moment, Sima Lei was indeed next to the county lord, and his behavior was very bad. Due to the emergency at the time, he had to be rude and tried to forcibly take the county lord. In order to stop me, the crown prince and the concubine actually ordered the guards to shoot random arrows at the same time. In this case, the retainer had no choice but to support the crown prince as a hostage until the empress dowager arrived. ”
This passage of King Jing contains the following key messages:
First of all, Concubine Yue and the crown prince did drug the county lord, and Sima Lei carried out improper acts around the county lord.
Second: The crown prince did not consider the deep affection between the brothers, and ordered to shoot King Jing and the county lord at the same time with random arrows.
Third: In order to save his life, King Jing had no choice but to use a knife to hold the crown prince hostage and wait for the arrival of the empress dowager.
Of the three events, the first two events serve as the cause, while the last one serves as the effect, which is a revolt under duress. The emperor's rebuke to the ministers was nothing more than asking them to defend themselves. However, our emperor only heard the truth behind it, but ignored what happened before, and directly accused King Jing of holding the crown prince hostage with a knife.
Could it be because King Jing's voice was too weak, didn't the emperor hear the prince order to shoot the prince with an arrow?
Maybe not, because even Gao Gonggong, who had been standing silently next to him, could hear all this. When he heard this, he couldn't help but frown, which was enough to show the seriousness of the crime of shooting the prince.
But what about the emperor?Focusing only on whether King Jing held the crown prince hostage with a knife completely ignores the real reason for King Jing's action.
If it weren't for the fact that the queen saw something wrong next to her, she would immediately scream, there was actually a shooting of the prince, and the emperor's attention was still focused on the incident of King Jing holding the prince hostage.
Obviously, the emperor did not care about the safety of King Jing's life. It was because he didn't care whether King Jing was treated fairly, and he didn't care whether he was sad because of the uneven rewards and punishments.
For the current King Jing, this attitude shown by the emperor is undoubtedly a positive thing!
For a prince who is not taken seriously, who will really pay attention to his every move, and no one will see him as a real competitor.
Therefore, the emperor's negligence was equivalent to providing a protective shield for King Jing, allowing him to freely plan his plans without being disturbed.
If the emperor attaches great importance to King Jing, then the eyes of King Yu and the crown prince will always be fixed on him, and occasionally create some obstacles, which will undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble to King Jing.
However, the current King Jing does not have any influence, whether it is as King Yu or the crown prince, easily setting up obstacles for him is enough for him to endure for a while.
Therefore, the emperor awarded the reward to King Yu, and although on the surface it seemed that King Yu had won, King Jing felt very wronged. In fact, the emperor wanted to consolidate his position in the harem through this means. However, from a long-term planning point of view, this is actually a positive thing for Jingwang.
Second: Under the rebuke of Emperor Liang, he successfully avoided the trouble of Concubine Yue.
Many people are questioning how the crown prince is so stupid and can ascend to the throne of the East PalaceBut in this era when the emperor was very tired, the crown prince could even become a generation of celebrities. In my opinion, in addition to his age, the contribution of the Yue Guifei is probably the greatest.
In the Raising Palace, the prince always played the role of a "good baby", standing quietly by the side and not saying a word.
But what about the more concubine is in **?
In the face of the accusation of the Nihuang county lord, the county lord did not show the slightest panic, but spoke sharply, which made the county lord so angry that he lost his demeanor. In front of the emperor, she stood up angrily, then pointed at Nihuang with her finger and angrily reprimanded her: "Nihuang is on the battlefield, seeing thousands of enemy soldiers, talking about viciousness, but she was defeated by you, a harem woman!."”
Subsequently, King Jing and Commander Meng walked in, and as a witness, she did not defend herself anymore, but wholeheartedly put all the blame on herself, so that the crown prince was completely abandoned.
Obviously, compared with the crown prince, Concubine Yue is undoubtedly a more outstanding character!With enough evidence to back it up, she surprisingly remained calm in times of crisis, and after careful consideration, succeeded in protecting the crown prince.
This kind of Yue Guifei is really terrifying!She has retained her position as the crown prince and has a great chance of regaining favor in the future.
Regarding Nihuang, Concubine Yue was originally determined to get it, if it weren't for King Jing's intervention, her conspiracy would have been successful, and now she has been demoted to a concubine, how can she not have hatred for King Jing?But she can't do that anymore, she has to find her place in this era. As long as she has a chance to re-emerge, it will be a critical moment for her to take revenge on King Jing.
Given Concubine Yue's wisdom, she had many strategies to deal with King Jing, who was not good at expressing herself and was not liked by the emperor. There are many ministers in the court who admire her very much, but she has not been reused, and has even been squeezed into the background and has become a small person with no status and power. Not to mention that she had the guts to shoot King Jing, she couldn't accomplish anything.
At that point, King Jing will have to distract himself from all these situations.
But now, Emperor Liang has given all his rewards to King Yu, which leads to a different situation.
The power struggle between the crown prince and King Yu has a long history, and the Yue Guifei and the empress have also been fighting in secret for decades, and both sides are eager to put the other at their feet as soon as possible.
In the past, there was a relative balance of power between the crown prince and King Yu, but nowadays, one of them is highly valued, while the other has fallen from a high position, which makes this side's heart full of deep hatred!
Concubine Yue was busy hating the Empress and was also looking for a way to fight against King Yu, and she couldn't find the time and energy to deal with those inconspicuous King Jing.
Wouldn't this save King Jing an extra trouble?
Although it was not praised, it gained a deeper friendship.
King Jing always believed that the Red Flame Army would not start a rebellion, so he was not appreciated by the emperor, as the Nihuang County Lord described: "For so many years, you seem to have been expelled, stationed in the barracks, and fought everywhere. ”
Therefore, even though King Jing was thirty-one years old and had great military achievements, he was still not made a prince.
Moreover, the treatment of King Jing in the palace is really heart-wrenching.
After returning to the capital, he reported the situation to the emperor, but the emperor was busy admiring calligraphy with the crown prince and King Yu. King Yu even asked King Jing to wait outside for several hours, if it wasn't for Gonggong Gao to remind the emperor, King Jing might not know how long he would have to wait.
After Jing Yan saw the emperor, he was immediately severely reprimanded by the crown prince: "Jing Yan, why are you so tired to wear this suit of armor into the palace, don't you know that you are here to see your father today?"Why don't you go back to the house and dress up?Do you still have your father in your eyes?”
King Jing received an order that he must return to the capital within three days. But when he returned to the palace, he found himself asleep in bed. In order to be in a hurry, King Jing did not dare to have any delays on the road, which ensured that he entered the capital on time. He is the emperor, and the emperor must have a good result, otherwise he is not called the emperor, what is it called?The crown prince still did not hesitate to reprimand him. What's more, the last time I changed my guard and returned to the capital, it was precisely because I returned to the palace first, and King Jing was punished to kneel in the imperial tomb for three months, this time do you dare to return to the palace first?
The crown prince can not only scold King Jing as he likes, but even the servants in the palace dare to question: "What status is King Jing in." ”
Obviously, for so many years, King Jing's position in the palace was really insignificant. In the palace, he was a close minister of the emperor, and the emperor was very close and respectful to him. Not only did he not have any social status, but he even lacked a real friend around him.
For the past twelve years, he has remained true to his inner righteousness and convictions, but for this reason he has been in a state of isolation. In his opinion, this is his life, his all. For the past twelve years, he has been under too much stress alone.
It's not that he doesn't know how to curry favor with the emperor, just like in the incident of the Nihuang county lord, the prince realized that the situation was not in their favor, so he immediately knelt at the emperor's feet with tears in his eyes, and said with tears in his eyes: "The son has only one mother, if the mother." How can the sons live?"
With just a few short words, the emperor touched the heartstrings, and he stretched out his loving father's hand and gently touched the back of the prince's head. Therefore, Concubine Yue, who should have been severely punished, was eventually demoted to a concubine.
Pretending to be pitiful and weak is actually an "ingenious means" against the emperor!
But those things that King Jing couldn't learn, he didn't want to learn Xi!
His back is always straight, which shows his tenacity to compromise with any injustice and power. He has a heart that never admits defeat, and his will is firm and strong. Even in the face of misunderstandings, accusations, or isolation, they will not compromise easily. Even in the eyes of others, he is a real hero. King Jing only hopes to be worthy of the true feelings in his heart!
He watched the prince's performance silently, his eyes revealing a kind of coldness and deep disappointment that he had long been Xi to. He performed on stage for a long time. In the end, he left with another sense of loss.
Only when he is resolute and uncompromising will the emperor show a friendly attitude towards him. The emperor is also a human being, and the emperor also needs to be respected and loved, otherwise he will become a waste in the eyes of everyone. King Jing is well aware of this fact, but he still decides to stick to his principles, uphold the justice of his heart, and chooses to face all the sarcasm and ridicule alone!
But now the situation has improved, and the incident of the Nihuang County Lord has caused the Nihuang and the Great Commander to be closely linked.
Although we only knew each other before, we didn't have a deep relationship with each other. Today, we have experienced many unfair things together and witnessed social injustice, but we all adhere to the principle of justice, which is enough for King Jing to come together with them.
More importantly, this incident established the earliest relationship of trust between Mei Changsu and King Jing.
King Jing had a misunderstanding about Nihuang's affairs and thought that it was planned by Mei Changsu. Therefore, he was very angry and found Mei Changsu to question. Although King Jing's attitude was not friendly, he still said his bottom line. Mei Changsu also made his position clear, which laid a solid foundation for their future cooperation.
Aren't these above benefits more crucial than receiving verbal praise and material rewards from the emperor?
After this incident, King Jing is no longer alone!He has already welcomed his loved ones and friends who will be fighting alongside him!
They are determined, to fight for the truth of the facts, for justice.
King Jing will surely achieve victory!
