194. Chapter 194: The Emperor's Thoughts
"The child knows." The emperor sighed softly, "Mother has always been accommodating to Shi Wei back then, after all, Shi Wei's mother is your own sister and the child's aunt, but, Shi Wei has become like this now, our mother and son are inseparable, in order for the child to ascend the throne, the mother had to do something, the child understands the mother's hard work, but the child can't be ruthless to him after all." Now that he has escaped from the prison, even if God gives him another chance so that he can be a good man, if he is willing to let go of the previous things and no longer have prejudices against our mother and son, his mother will not have to care, and he will be a family anyway. ”
"Find out who burned the prison?" The Queen Mother sighed, "You are always too soft-hearted. ”
The emperor shook his head, "I sent a competent person to find out, but there are no clues, however, as far as the child knows, it is not the first time that Shi Wei has escaped from the open prison, but he will return after playing outside every time, this time I am afraid that he is also greedy for a while, and he burned the prison to see a lively scene, and his mother will treat him as an ignorant child, and spare him this time, the child will deal with this matter, and the mother does not have to pay too much attention to it." ”
The Queen Mother looked unhappy, "How can this be, back then, that hateful woman was pregnant with a child at the same time as her mother, and even had the idea of exchanging your two brothers, if it weren't for the slave and maid beside the mourning family who were loyal to the mourning family, where would you be today?" If it weren't for the Mourning family's mother-son connection, they recognized you at once from the two children, at this time, maybe you are Jiang Shiwei, and he is you. ”
The emperor patted the queen mother's hand gently, "The child knows that the child will definitely get Shiwei back and hand it over to the mother to deal with it personally, but the child doesn't want the mother to worry about this matter anymore, please believe that the child can handle this matter well, and hand over this matter to the child to deal with, if the child can't handle it properly, the mother will not be too late to come forward, so as not to fall into the mouth of others, saying that the mother is cruel and will not let go of her own sister's flesh and blood." ”
The Queen Mother thought about it, nodded reluctantly, and said softly, "What are you going to do?" ”
The emperor did not answer, only frowned slightly, and said softly: "The child has been thinking about this matter, although there are some ideas, but it is not conclusive, and when the child thinks clearly, the child must tell his mother." ”
Gonggong Lu, who had been following the emperor, walked in, knelt in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Prince Jian of King Jian's Mansion came to the palace to meet the emperor at the emperor's behest, and he was already waiting in the imperial garden. ”
"I'm going to go over, it's really a bit urgent for me to invite him over, but now there are too many things, and they all happened suddenly, and the child is also suspicious, and he doesn't dare to trust others lightly, so that Prince Jian is my contemporary, married to my mother's niece, my cousin, he is still a trustworthy person." The emperor said mildly.
"Hmm. Let's go, it's important to get down to business, it's okay here at the mourning house. The Empress Dowager immediately said, "It's just a moment of anger, it's not the first day to deal with this Jiang Shiwei, the mourning family is just a moment of annoyance, there are still ways to deal with him, the mourning family is just thinking about the blood relationship with him, and they really can't bear to really kill him, he is your aunt's last flesh and blood, and it is also your father's last concern, and the mourning family is also embarrassed." ”
"Yes, the boy understands." The emperor said gently, and the face that was very similar to the queen mother's mother seemed to be gentle and peaceful, and her tone was slow and unhurried, "Mother doesn't have to be sad, I have to deal with things in advance, and when I can wait, the child must find a time to talk with my mother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, watching the emperor get up and leave, although now some things still need her to make suggestions in the back, and even need her to occasionally listen to the government, but the emperor has become more and more mature.
Out of the courtyard of the Queen Mother, the emperor's expression immediately became stern, his brows frowned slightly, and he said dissatisfiedly to Father-in-law Lu: "Mother is still an old problem, she refuses to let me deal with everything, she wants to say some opinions to me on the things in the court, and she must intervene in the old things in this house, this matter is the most difficult to do, if it falls into the ears of outsiders, how should the people in the market talk about it!" There have always been ministers who have expressed doubts about my accession to the throne, but now they must not be impatient, and must complete the plan step by step from beginning to end. ”
"The emperor is wise, this thing will definitely be done!" Gonggong Lu immediately said respectfully.
The emperor smiled slightly, with a little hidden pride, and even his mother didn't see that he sent someone to set fire to the prison, and then let Jiang Shiwei live in the rivers and lakes.
It is also to stop Jiang Shiwei's arrogance, although he has been locked up in prison, but Jiang Shiwei really doesn't have to suffer at all, he doesn't have to worry about state affairs every day like him, and he has to satisfy his mother, but he can't make his own decisions about everything, not only the women around him, but also the state affairs he handles every day, and his mother also has to help him review the chapters and give him some advice, if he doesn't listen, he will inevitably listen to his mother's teachings.
Sometimes, the emperor himself feels that in addition to being a ninety-five honor on the face, he is not as free as Jiang Shiweilai.
He knew that in fact, Jiang Shiwei was the son of his father who wanted him to inherit the throne, and it was his mother who revised his will from it, and even drugged his father for this, so that his father was in a state of confusion in the last time and could not express his true wishes.
Of course, he also knew that if it weren't for his mother's hard work, he wouldn't be where he is today.
"I also know that my mother has always been for my good." The emperor sighed and whispered, "But I am no longer an ignorant child, and I still hope that I can do some things myself." ”
Father-in-law Lu said respectfully: "The emperor is the most wise, this idea you came up with, not only hidden from everyone's eyes and ears, but also let the queen mother, who has always been shrewd and capable, and the most cautious and careful in doing things, did not notice it, your plan is absolutely thorough, and you will definitely be able to achieve your goal." ”
The emperor nodded, Father-in-law Lu is his most powerful and most trusted minion, since he was born, Father-in-law Lu, who is more than ten years older than him, was selected to serve him, the two grew up together, in addition to the relationship between master and servant, in private, the two will also say some confidant words, of course, he is saying, Grandpa Lu is listening.
"Did Prince Jian come alone, or did he bring someone else?" The emperor asked casually.
"It's just Lord Jane." Father-in-law Lu said softly, "This matter, Prince Jian also knows the seriousness of it, and he will definitely not talk about it with anyone, but I am afraid that Princess Jian does not know about it, you can rest assured, Prince Jian has always been an idle prince who relies on Princess Jian in the eyes of everyone, but he is stable and reliable, besides, although his concubine Aunt Zhou is only an outer room, she has always been loyal to Princess Jian and will never give up, because of this, Zhou Mansion will spare no effort to help you." ”
The emperor smiled slightly, and said a little indifferently: "This week, my aunt's family is also a fool, I just said casually, if this matter is done, it will definitely have some impact on King Jian's mansion, I am afraid that it will be implicated, but I didn't expect her to be happy, saying that as long as Princess Jian is the only one in his heart, even if he eats chaff vegetables, it is a very happy day, she hates Princess Jian so much, alas, I don't want to think about it, Li Ting is my uncle's daughter in the end, just have a relationship with me, where will I let my cousin, Princess Jane's seat, sit unstable, It's just a joke to deceive the surname Zhou, and she even believes it. ”
"People always have a plan." Gonggong Lu smiled slightly and said softly, "As long as you find out what this person is trying to do, your emperor will be able to achieve your goal." Moreover, it is also her blessing that she can be used by the emperor. ”
Saying that, it has arrived at the Imperial Garden, and in autumn, the chrysanthemums are blooming really beautifully, and a piece of gold is like a sea.
"The minister has seen the emperor." Prince Jian saluted respectfully.
"Get up, there's no outsider here." The emperor sat down in the small pavilion, looked at the chrysanthemums in his eyes, and sighed softly, "Alas, it's rare that I have such leisure time to look at chrysanthemums here, Father-in-law Lu, go and prepare some good wine and tea, I want to have a good conversation with Jian Aiqing." ”
"Yes, the minion will go and prepare, and you must not let anyone disturb the emperor and Prince Jian." Father-in-law Lu immediately respectfully retreated, pushed the people around him far away, and instructed the most trusted father-in-law to prepare wine and food, while he himself stayed in the emperor's sight.
In fact, there are many delicacies in the palace, but after eating for a long time, there is no taste.
Looking at the good wine and food in front of him, the emperor suddenly lost his interest in eating, smiled bitterly, and said with a slight mockery: "Jian Aiqing, why do you say everyone wants to be the emperor?" I always think that the emperor eats the best in the world, dresses the best in the world, enjoys the best in the world, there are the most servants serving here, and there are the most beautiful women enjoying it, but I am just an ordinary man, how can I enjoy so much, and I have to worry about whether the food is poisonous, and I guess if someone in the harem is calculating me, either today's trouble or tomorrow's death, I have to worry about her when I meet someone I like, I'm afraid that after a few days, I don't know if I can see the living, those flesh and bones, or die, Either they see me like a mouse and a cat, always kneeling down from a distance, talking to me tremblingly, more slave than a slave! ”
The more he talked, the more he was in a bad mood, the emperor shook his head, "Forget it, I really have no appetite, Jian Aiqing is casual by herself, and I only talk to you." ”
Prince Jian smiled slightly, and said: "The world is dull, so I can't see through it, only the emperor is like a mirror in his heart, this emperor is not something ordinary people can do, where is the emperor an ordinary man, you are the son of heaven, you are the son of heaven, you are the destined emperor." ”
