Sima fan had always thought that as long as Gu Zheng was killed, he was the only master of all the rivers and mountains in the world.
He doesn't need to put up with other people's manipulation and compromise.
But the fact told him that even without Gu Zheng, his throne was still unstable.
He Zhongjie, who helped him capture Gu Zheng, now supports the army and respects himself. Xu Yizhi, who taught him how to overthrow Gu Zheng step by step, is now in power.
He tried his best to remove one Gu Zheng, but angrily found that there were many "Gu Zheng" waiting for him.
At this time, Gu Fei asked him if he was satisfied?
In fact, he is not very satisfied. He even regrets it.
He regretted that he should have removed Gu Zheng so early.
If Gu Zheng is allowed to spend more time or a period of time, he can accumulate more strength. As soon as Gu Zheng dies, no one can use him. He Zhongjie and Xu Yizhi can only watch helplessly develop into giants.
After a short silence, Sima tired of returning to calm and smiled easily: "I killed your father, and I still executed him by lingchi. You should hate me very much?"
Gu Fei spit out two words.
"Don't hate."
Sima's tired face showed an accident: "why?"
"In the past, I thought my father deserved it. If he died, he wouldn't have to harm others. Later, I learned that my father is asking for benevolence and benevolence. Everything is voluntary, and there is nothing to hate. "
Sima fan can understand that he deserves what he deserves, but Sima fan can't understand how to seek benevolence and benevolence.
He frowned and asked, "your father was killed by me. He should be full of resentment and unwilling to die. How can he beg for mercy?"
Gu Fei looked at him calmly and asked, "has your majesty never thought about why he could kill my father so easily over the years?"
Sima Yan's expression gradually became cold and fierce: "what is it to kill your father easily? In order to successfully capture your father, we tried our best. We were even ready to become benevolent if we didn't succeed! "
Gu Fei said, "then I'll change another question. With my father's power in those years, even if he rebelled and became emperor, it was only a matter of one sentence, but he hasn't moved this idea all the time. Do you know why?"
Sima wearily said in a deep voice, "what do you want to say?"
Gu Fei said word by word.
"My father has never had a heart of disobedience."
Sima fan seemed to hear Tianda's joke and directly laughed: "ha ha, are you teasing me? Just because of what your father did in those years, ten heads are not enough for him to cut off. How dare you say that he has no intention of disobedience? "
Gu Fei asked calmly, "for example?"
Sima fan put away his smile: "Gu Zheng framed Zhongliang. In the years when he controlled the government, countless loyal ministers and good generals died in his hands!"
Gu Fei said, "Your Majesty, why don't you check? Are your loyal officials and good generals secretly colluding with your Majesty's brothers?"
Sima fan didn't believe it: "nonsense, how can those people collude with my brothers?!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can let someone check it."
Seeing him so determined, Sima fan's heart loosened a little. Did he really misunderstand Gu Zheng?
No, it's impossible!
Everything Gu Zheng did was for his selfish desires!
Sima wearily said, "what about Gu Zheng who formed a party for personal gain and accepted bribes? I clearly remember that after copying the Gu family, almost all the gold and silver treasures turned out from the Gu family can fill the national treasury. Gu Zheng was born in a poor family. How could he save such a huge fortune with his salary? It must be plundering people's fat and cream, embezzlement and bribery, that we have so much money! "
Gu Fei said, "my father did take bribes."
Sima tired of sneering: "so, Gu Zheng is damn!"
Gu Fei asked coldly, "Your Majesty, do you know how much money was left in the Treasury when the former emperor died?"
Sima Yan frowned: "what are you doing with this?"
"It seems that you don't know. The first emperor liked extravagance and construction. Every year, millions of Liang were spent on construction alone. When the first emperor died, the remaining silver on the Treasury book was less than 10000."
Gu Zheng never avoided his son in this regard, so Gu Fei may know more about some things in the court than Sima fan.
Sima Yan's eyebrows frowned tighter.
Gu Fei continued: "ten thousand Liang is equivalent to a drop in the ocean for a country. At that time, even the salaries of the government and the public could not be paid. Does your majesty know how this matter was finally solved? It was my father who filled this big hole with his own silver. Since then, my father will send a batch of silver to the Treasury every year, including the cost of your Majesty's marriage and the cost of holding various banquets, all of which are from my father. He is using his bribed money to support his majesty and all civil and military officials in the court. Your majesty said my father should die. To be honest, I don't know if he really should die. "
Sima fan's face had become extremely bad.
When he first ascended the throne, he was only seven years old and knew nothing. Gu Zheng controlled all the big and small affairs in the court. Therefore, he knew nothing about the emptiness of the national treasury.
Now Gu Fei has told him about it. Sima is tired of feeling like he can't stand down.
He gritted his teeth and said, "these are just your one-sided words!"
Gu Fei still said, "if your majesty doesn't believe it, you can check it. Even though it has been many years, as long as your majesty really wants to check it, you can find some traces."
Sima tired of thinking, still unwilling, pointed out another charge: "Gu Zheng is Xu Yizhi's disciple, but he doesn't respect his teacher and falls into the same school. It's disloyalty and unfilial!"
"The so-called disrespect for teachers is just a matter of different ways. As for the fellow martial brother, he took the initiative to provoke my father, but he was caught by my father. That's why he was put in prison. If my father failed to catch his handle, the people who died in prison will be replaced by my father. Isn't that true all the time?"
Sima fan was speechless.
Gu Fei said, "in fact, my father has another charge of making trouble."
Sima Yan looked at him.
Gu Fei said, "when you found the Dragon Robe and jade seal from my house, they were all evidence of my father's rebellion."
Sima Yan's eyes flickered.
In fact, the Dragon Robe and jade seal were secretly put into the family by Xu Yizhi in order to ensure that they are safe. Sima fan also knows this.
Gu Fei said, "no matter where those dragon robes and jade seals came from, my father didn't deny it in the end. He acquiesced in many of the crimes you listed, so I said he was asking for mercy."
