Chapter 281: The Emperor's Pain
He Mulan broke into Cui Hao's mansion undoubtedly set off a big wave in the Great Wei, the most brain-loving in the world is smart people, and there are too many smart people in Wei, if the first thought of ordinary people and military children when they hear this kind of thing is "Hua Mulan's real morality", then the problem that these smart people think will be complicated to the sky.
What kind of backing does Mulan have to dare to do it to Cui Hao?
Is it that Mulan is manipulating the main family behind this? Everyone knows that Tuoba Tao should have made Tuoba Huang the crown prince a few years ago, but he was persuaded by Cui Hao, how could the He Lai family be willing?
I heard that during the feast that day, Mulan and He Laixiong were still talking and laughing. Did the old man ever smile at anyone? There must be some conspiracy!
Why did the scribe ruin Di Yefei, why did Cui Hao not ask, is Cui Hao really unwilling to reuse the Hanmen as the outside world said, but out of Tuobatao's instructions, he had to accept it, so he had to acquiesce in this behavior.
And Mulan's slap in the face was Tuobatao's disobedient beating of Cui Hao?
All of these things became even more confusing with the information spit out by the doorman that Mulan handed over to the Egret Officer.
This scribe turned out to be from Liu Song, the Wei State that was attached to the first emperor when he conquered Chen County, but he still maintained contact with Liu Song, and found many exquisite objects that Liu Song only had in his belongings.
And what is even more unexpected is that when Shun Teng went to check the past of this doorman, he found that this Liu Fang had also been a doorman under Tuoba Fan, because of the good handwriting, he was responsible for transcribing documents.
If he didn't write well, Cui Hao wouldn't have accused him of being Di Yefei's gentleman, in this era, a good hand can show a person's cultivation and character, and words are very important. He tossed and turned several lords to eat mixed rice, relying on an excellent handwriting, it is said that his ancestors were the disciples of the Xie family of Chen County, so it will be a beautiful Xie font.
And the Xie family, now loyal to Liu Song.
As for Tuoba Fan, his identity is even more embarrassing. He is Tuoba Tao's younger brother, only one year younger than him, and has a gentle and elegant temperament since he was a child, so he does not meet the aesthetic standards of Xianbei people and martial arts, but his mother is the famous Murong Xianbei, this Tuoba Fan's mother, Mrs. Murong, because of her high status, in addition to Tuoba Tao, he is suitable to be a prince both in age and in appearance.
Tuoba Fan also has the advantage that Tuoba Tao does not have, that is, many sons. Before he was eighteen years old, he had four sons. His eldest son, Tuoba Liang, looks quite like the first emperor, and was born strong and strong, while Tuoba Tao did not have a son at the age of twenty, either when he was pregnant, or died early, and it was rumored that Tuoba Tao was destined to have no children.
"Destined to have no children", this is a very terrible evaluation for an emperor who has been on the throne for many years, especially this emperor also likes to risk his life and repeatedly pro-conquest. In order to calm the hearts of the clan and courtiers, Tuoba Tao once took Tuoba Fan's son Tuoba Liang to the palace to raise him, and once said that "my brother's son is my son", but he did not succeed him.
Tuoba Fan is weak and unfit to be a king, but his son Tuoba Liang can. So when Tuoba Liang, who was still babbling, was brought into the palace to be raised, even if Tuoba Fan was unwilling, he was happy in his heart. In order to show that he didn't care, he even married a lot of wives and concubines later, sang songs every night, and gave birth to several sons.
But after Tuoba Huang was born, Tuoba Liang's position in the palace became embarrassing.
The six-year-old child already knows a lot of things, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dou before, Tuoba Huang was born when Tuoba Tao's army went out, Empress Dowager Dou's energy was limited, and she was worried that her bias would make the child receive a cold reception in the palace, so after discussing with Tuoba Tao, he temporarily returned Tuoba Liang to the Le'an Palace, and concentrated on raising Tuoba Tao's first son, and only after Tuoba Tao returned to the palace did he take Tuoba Liang back.
Because of Tuoba Liang's return to the house, Tuoba Fan didn't know how many people had ridiculed him in the open and in the dark, even if Tuoba Tao returned to the dynasty with a big victory and took Tuoba Liang back, Tuoba Fan also knew that the child was sent away in vain.
If there were only Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Ti who were in front of Tuoba Liang before, there would be more Tuoba Huang now. Giving birth to a child has always been like this, with the first there is a second, with the second there is a third, the first one stands, Tuoba Tao doesn't know how many sons, and Tuoba Liang will be embarrassed like this for the rest of his life.
Calculate the time, the time when this guest entered Cui Hao's house is the time when Tuoba Liang returns home.
Tuoba Fan is too low-key, Murong Xianbei is still a strong family because he was attached to Wei after being destroyed, Tuoba Fan has a good reputation, and he is generous and good at regulating disputes, so when the Montenegrin camp broke out that the general was unfair, there were many people who asked Tuoba Fan to be the general of Montenegro and guard the border pass, but unfortunately this matter was not resolved under Cui Hao's interference.
Cui Hao's reason for advising Tuoba Tao is also very sufficient: his son was raised by the emperor, and his own father has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and no one knows what will happen.
The little prince is not yet a year old.
Therefore, if there is a contradiction between Cui Hao and Tuoba Fan, it is also said that such a morally corrupt person is placed in his mansion.
But it's a person from Liu Song, which is interesting.
The guest will confess, and it will also involve Wushisan.
Many wealthy families will use five stones to scatter control zhì Keqing and Congren, and the same is true for Liu Fang. He was originally deceived into using Wushisan at the earliest master's house, and then he couldn't quit again.
He was originally able to live a good life with this handwriting, but after taking Wushi San, he gradually couldn't afford the cost of medicine and wine, so he began to get rich. [,! The noble people do errands under their hands, and they also do things to spy on people in exchange for money.
This person originally wanted to seek death several times, and the interrogation work was extremely difficult, but when the effect of Wushisan's medicine came on, Su Hejun just held a box of medicine and asked him to obediently vomit all the qiē clean.
He will enter Cui Hao's mansion, which is a sign of Tuoba Fan.
Cui Hao likes to read people by words, his words are indeed excellent, and there is a rare style of the Xie family in the north, so when someone familiar recommended this person to him, Cui Hao left him behind, wrote a notebook for the children in the family, and copied the documents by the way.
This is really an inaccessible doorman, and it is not worthy of Cui Hao's attention.
The person who recommended him took the door, but it was Cui Hao's in-law, Li Shun, the prince of Pingthorn. This Li Shun's sister married Cui Hao's brother and has always wanted to climb Cui Hao's relationship, but Cui Hao felt that this person was too "cheesy" and did not help him much in the court.
Li Shun is a person who can speak well and is exquisite, knowing that Cui Hao doesn't look down on him, so he doesn't often beg him, but for things like recommending a doorman, Cui Hao is still willing to give him face.
A small disciple not only involved Tuoba Xianbei's clan, but also involved Hanchen's own infighting (maybe not infighting, but Li Shun will help Tuoba Fan, which means that he has fallen to Tuoba Fan).
Hua Mulan came out of the palace and immediately made a big fuss about Cui's mansion, not only so that Liu Fang, who didn't know anything, could not escape before the East Window incident, but also let people know that many wealthy families were using five stones to scatter or control or destroy other people's sanity, and it was aimed at young generals.
Di Yefei is really too small a person, if this matter is not for Hua Mulan to make trouble with Tuoba Tao, even if Di Yefei finds out the truth after being deeply victimized, Cui Hao will take into account the identities of Li Shun and Tuoba Fan and dare not reveal it, Di Yefei is afraid that he will really be sacrificed like this.
Mo thinks that Cui Hao is a loyal courtier of Tuoba Tao and will help fight Tuoba Fan, after all, he is the head of the scholar clan, and he will not offend the clan while stepping on his in-laws into the water.
In a sense, he prevented Tuoba Tao from establishing Tuoba Huang as the crown prince, and also helped Tuoba Fan's son.
The only one who hasn't flowed into the muddy waters is probably the Xianbei nobles who control the power in the army. But Hua Mulan just represents the military faction from the Xianbei people, and some people began to wonder if it was a few big conquests that made the Xianbei nobles greatly increase their strength, and began to think of stirring up left and right to further weaken the power of other factions.
The army is the best hotbed for Hanshi to fight, and it is also the only place where you don't pay much attention to your background, most of the rewards below the middle level in the army come from ordinary military households, if you really cut off this way of promotion, these Xianbei clans will also face the situation that no one is available, it is for this, they will not sit idly by and watch the fast-promoted generals fall victim to the political struggle.
And the framed Di Yefei, behind him stands the Gaoche clan, the Gaoche clan is now jointly used by Gu Bi and Cui Hao as the "appeasement envoy", Gu Bi and Cui Hao's "prime minister" dispute has always been faintly slight, if Cui Hao loses the trust of the Gaoche first, then in the end it will only make the Gaoche people fall to Gu Bi's side, increasing his weight in the court.
At this moment, there is even a reason why a few people followed Mulan to make trouble in Cui's Mansion.
This is a lot of things, it can be said that it is extremely complicated, and under such a mutual battle, only Tuoba Tao and He Mulan will benefit in the end, and this is the result of Tuoba Tao's painstaking planning.
He Mullan immediately won the favor of the army through this incident, and in the army, it was Tuoba Tao who planned the "career route" for He Mullan.
Not only that, Hemulan's reputation of "not afraid of power", "caring for colleagues", and "outstanding martial arts" has also spread through her actions, what does a famous general need most to grow? It is the "fame" that everyone expects.
He Mullan's military exploits are there, and his achievements are also there, but fame cannot be accumulated in three or two days, there is such an "anecdote" here, at least everyone hopes to make friends like her, this is "righteousness".
The Xianbei people established the country with martial arts, and Tuoba Tao needed different voices in the army, not a place for words. Young generals like He Mulan and Di Yefei will definitely inject fresh blood into the army, and Tuoba Tao knows that he will continue to wage war, so that these fresh blood will one day grow into real famous generals and become the ministers of the humerus who defend the side.
There is the first Mulan, there is the second, the third, the fourth.
In order to be able to stand on their feet, people from low backgrounds have almost no other way to go except to hold on to Tuoba Tao and swear allegiance to the death. Since there is no need to cling to other powerful ministers except the emperor, they do not need to act with a clear conscience, nor do they need to think about their own family in advance, and then consider their personal future like many big families and gate lords, and finally consider the gains and losses of the court and the needs of the people.
For Tuoba Tao, they don't need to take too much risk with them, and they are not afraid that they will become a big tail after they grow up, which is the reason why "taking scholars" is better than "covering the shade".
As for finding out the dark chess of Liu Song and Tuoba Fan, it can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
Tuoba Tao still can't find the murderer who assassinated him in Montenegro, and the last words of "go to the other side", "the king's sons", and "the cow cherishes the child" left by Hua Mulan and others before he killed the ghost are faintly the same as Tuoba Fan's last words.
They used to think that the ghost killer was talking about the king of an enemy country, and "to the other side" Yunyun was also alluding to a certain place.
Now corresponding, I am afraid that Liu Song on the other side of the river has joined forces with the "princes" raised by the king, and the sentence "The cow cherishes her children, although she is hungry and thirsty and goes out to look for water and grass, but whether she finds it or not, she will come back, and when the calf grows up, she will also treat its mother like this", which originally made their second monk feel at a loss. [,! Brain, I thought it was the mother who killed the ghost and was accused of it, but now that I think about it, Tuoba Fan wants to seek the throne for his son, and it is also right.
When he is a hundred years old, Tuoba Liang will be able to have a few, and Tuoba Fan will definitely be a chicken dog ascending to heaven.
So when all the confessions and news were transmitted from the Egret official to Tuobatao's hands, Tuoba Tao couldn't help but sneer and smashed the paperweight in his hand.
"I, the Xianbei people, are going to kill their own mother when they set up the prince, if I really have to set up Liang'er as the prince, will I still keep Tuoba Fan?!"
He feels that he treats the clan well, whether it is a biological brother or a cousin of the Tuoba bloodline, as long as he is talented, he will never use it because of the identity of the other party. Whether it is Tuoba Fan or Tuobati, or even several of his younger brothers, they have led the army to fight, and they also have a throne, and at worst they are also a duke's marquis.
But just because he treats the clan kindly, he actually raised such a group of white-eyed wolves!
Because Tuoba Tao was talking about the prince, Su Hejun didn't dare to talk, and he didn't dare to stand in His Royal Highness, just waiting for Tuoba Tao's orders.
To be honest, when it was found out that it was Tuoba Fan, even Su Hejun was taken aback. He had even secretly suspected Kumoti before, but he had never doubted this gentle-tempered prince, so it can be seen that the saying "dogs that can bite people don't bark" are indeed true.
It seems that the matter of Tuoba Liang being sent back to the mansion has hit this King Le'an too hard and made him mess up, otherwise if he really has been hiding in the shadows, according to his past of guarding himself, no one will know that he will be pulled out behind this scene, and even faintly connected to Liu Song's side.
In order to seize the throne and assassinate the emperor, Tuoba Tao can still endure it, because the attraction of this seat is too great, even if his son sits on it, when he is young, can't he still be a regent or an auxiliary minister or something? It's too normal to kill a monarch for this one.
But in order to plan the storage position to go to foreign countries, this offends Tuoba Tao's reverse scales.
"Your Majesty, no one knows what Liu Fang has done now, do we directly ask the King of Le'an and the Duke of Pingjiao with a confession, or ......"
Su Hejun saw that Tuoba Tao was only angry and didn't speak, so he had to open his mouth first.
"The words of a doorman alone are not enough to move Tuoba Fan. I'll have to cut off his wings first, and then I'll cut off all his thoughts......"
Tuoba Tao is also a tolerant person when dealing with government affairs.
"Xuan Gubi, Cui Hao, Changsun Han, and Luo Jie came to the palace to see me."
He thought about it, and then instructed Su Hejun: "Don't publicize this matter to the outside world except us......"
"Your Majesty, King Le'an is asking to see you outside the palace."
A guard was outside the door to make an announcement.
"No, I have to discuss matters, and I don't have time to see him."
Tuoba Tao was disgusted with this honey-bellied sword, the wolf's ambitious brother, and he didn't want to see him.
"But Your Majesty, King Le'an came barefoot only in single clothes, saying that he was coming to ask for sin, and as soon as he arrived in front of the palace, he knelt outside the Xuanwu Gate."
This guard also has a headache, and no one dares to touch this reverse scale when Tuoba Tao is in a bad mood.
"If you don't see it, you don't see it, kneel for him!"
Tuoba Tao almost shouted loudly.
After a while, there was no movement outside, and I thought I was running to convey the emperor's words.
"Your Majesty, you said before that you couldn't move King Le'an, but now you are so harsh on him......"
Su Hejun was dumbfounded.
"You don't understand, my brother has always been careful and thinks a lot. If I had seen him in such a good voice, he would have thought about it and thought that I was going to kill him, so he persuaded him. But if I speak harshly at him, and I want to go out and slap him a few times, he will be relieved."
Tuoba Tao was able to become the crown prince among many sons, not because of his own long-term reasons, but because many younger brothers have been under his pressure since childhood, and they have already developed a reflex to figure out his temper.
Su Hejun sighed in his heart for his majesty's living heart, and after making a salute, he decisively left the hall and went to summon several ministers.
Leaving Tuoba Tao in the independent hall, the indescribable meaning of loneliness.
"Thankfully, it's not your ......"
Tuoba Tao closed his eyes and pressed the corner of the desk.
"Let him be charming, as long as I don't take it to heart, it won't hurt me half a point."
The people who Tuoba Tao summoned to discuss this matter were all auxiliary ministers left by the first emperor. In addition to the patriarch of Changsun Han, he also called the famous foreign capital official "Luo Jie".
This Luo Jie is also a legend, he is the longest-lived man in the world today. When Tuoba Tao ascended the throne, Luo Jie was already one hundred and seven years old, his eyes were not dazzled or deaf, Tuoba Tao asked him to be a "great official of the outer capital", responsible for the affairs of the eight clans of Xianbei, because he was old and virtuous, and all the Xianbei nobles obeyed him.
The Egret official was created by Luo Jie, and in his life, he was in charge of thirty-six departments, and now although he is not in court, once he encounters something that cannot be solved, Tuoba Tao will still invite him to consult the government.
The old minister knew so much that he himself was afraid, and shut himself up all day long, and no outsider was seen unless an order was given.
Since he ascended the throne, Tuoba Tao did not know how many times he had faced provocations from foreign enemies, although there were many factions and many ethnic groups coexisting in the Wei State, he considered himself magnanimous and never feared that anyone would rebel and stand on his own because of his political views.
It's a pity that his self-confidence was soon slapped to the south wall by Tuoba Fan's matter, and at this time, he also had to put his . [,! The most trusted ministers were called in for counseling.
Gu Bi didn't know that Cui Hao and He Mulan were acting in a play, not only taught a good lesson to several people, but also worried about the possibility that he would be involved in the struggle for power with Cui Hao. So when Tuoba Fan was pulled out, Gu Bi was also relieved, and expressed his opinions with several ministers.
The eldest grandson Han grew up watching Tuoba Tao, and naturally did not allow Tuoba Fan's conspiracy to harm Tuoba Tao and his son, so he promised to personally watch Tuoba Fan's movements in the army, and if there was any misconduct, he would immediately let the sons of the clan kill him.
But the most critical part of the problem is not Tuoba Fan and Tuoba Liang......
Luo Jie, who was already one hundred and thirteen years old, rubbed his eyes as if he had woken up from a sleep, and said casually: "Since Your Majesty can give birth to a son, it seems that there will be no war in recent years, so it is better to take advantage of the big victory in the cold harem. Those princesses of Rouran, and the princesses of Xia Kingdom, the princesses of Beiliang, and the princesses of Beiyan, all those who can marry will marry back and give birth to seventeen or eighteen children from him......"
He sighed a few times, looked at Su Hejun, who was so frightened by him that he couldn't close his mouth, and winked at this beloved little disciple: "Well, in order to balance the harem, the nobles of the Xianbei old clan can also marry some. I'm afraid that the Han scholars are unwilling to marry their concubines to you, it's okay, the same is true for concubines, anyway, you can't be a lady......"
As soon as Luo Jie said this, Cui Hao's face darkened.
If you want to say what they are most afraid of, what they are most afraid of is that the Xianbei people are constantly thinking of various ways to marry the daughters of the high families, so as to raise their own families, and by the way, let their children get a better education in the future.
But how cautious is the marriage of the five surnames, even if Tuoba Tao wants to come to the door to marry a girl from his family, Cui Hao will directly refuse, Luo Jie said this, he was afraid that Cui Hao would go crazy.
At that time, the in-laws of the Cui family are afraid that they will all ask to come to the door, and let Tuoba Tao let go of their girls, and the threshold of his family will be broken......
Only Tuoba Tao was not shocked by Luo Jie's words, but asked him: "Are you saying that if I have more children, these people will stop thinking of rebellion?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty thinks too much......" Luo Jie coughed a few times, "I just feel that I haven't heard the voice of a child in the palace for too long, and I really miss it very much."
He once served as the internal affairs officer in the palace, and now he is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the inner treasury, and it is good to hand over the Egret official to Su Hejun in the past few years, before, he often went in and out of the palace, and even the harem often ran.
Tuoba Tao was choked by Luo Jie's words, and then thought about whether he should really work hard for a while, otherwise Tuoba Huang only has a son, and it is too easy to become a target.
I can't see if I'm not a good device, and it's normal to raise a few more.
"But my harem is too small......"
Tuoba Tao had a headache at the thought of having to spend day and night in the harem.
"Well, it's really small, if you can't do it, send a woman who has no heirs to another palace, and you can get married or release a batch. If you can't do it again, the palaces in the east that were originally for the princes to live in will also be distributed to the new ladies, and whoever has a son will have his own palace, and if you want to live better, the ladies will also work hard......"
Luo Jie laughed at the old disrespectful hehe, and glanced at the burly Tuoba Tao again, as if he had seen Tuoba Tao with a child all over his body.
"When your majesty is ready to raise a son, ride less horses, the minister told you before, always riding a horse is not good for having children, and it is not good for you to always have big fish and meat. Hey, I really want to go back to the days when I followed a bunch of children behind my ass, and it seems that the days when you and King Le'an begged me to bring you new gadgets all day long, it seems that ......they are still in sight."
Luo Jie just chattered about the fact that Tuoba Tao and King Le'an and other princes were still in the palace back then, he was old, and when he spoke, he recalled for a while and then said for a while, Cui Hao and Gu Bi and others listened a little impatiently.
But Tuoba Tao fell into childhood memories because of Luo Jie's words, and after listening to Luo Jie's words for a quarter of an hour, he fell into deep thought.
When Luo Jie stopped talking, Tuoba Tao also woke up from deep thought, and saw that Cui Hao, Gu Bi and the others were about to go crazy, so he took the opportunity to ask Su Hejun to send a few ministers out, turned to look at Luo Jie, who was already gray-haired, and bowed his head to him.
"I see what you mean. King Le'an will have a grievance because I took away his son and made him give birth to a mind that he shouldn't have, so I am also responsible for this matter. I'm not going to kill him, and I'm not going to get angry with him because of that......"
Luo Jie seemed to be suddenly deaf, and just looked at him with a smile.
"But I can't see him and Liu Song uniting ......," Tuoba Tao had an angry look on his face, "I can't let him shake the country's foundation."
"Your Majesty is so old, you must have your own ideas. Wei is yours now, you can do whatever you want......" Luo Jie seemed to look at a spoiled grandson, "but I don't have a few years to live, I just want to see the old people are well. At least until I die, don't let me, an old man, hide at home and cry, okay?"
Tuoba Tao remembered so many past events he had said before, and his heart couldn't help but soften, and nodded.
Luo Jie laughed happily again.
Tuoba Tao has no mother, and his nanny Dou is Han Chinese, Luo Jie is like a reliable grandfather many times, he has been taken care of by him when he was a child, so after ascending the throne, despite his advanced age of one hundred and seven, he still let him lead the affairs of Thirty-six Cao.
"If you can live for a few more decades because of this, even if you don't move King Le'an, I'm willing." Tuoba Tao laughed and personally carried the old minister out of the palace.
"I'll send you back."
"No need, Your Majesty, even if I close my eyes in this palace, I'll go. [,! ] of going out." Luo Jie looked at Tuoba Tao, who was already mature and heroic, and couldn't help but sigh: "But Your Majesty, this matter is enough to take a warning."
"I have lived so many years and seen countless things that cause hatred because I no longer fulfill the wishes of others after giving grace. Whether it is siblings, wives and children, you must pay attention to that 'degree'. He's embarrassed, and you don't have to treat him too specially, otherwise you'll keep reminding him of his identity."
Luo Jie was on crutches, and when he saw that the palace people were ordered to come to help, he stopped his words and didn't say much.
It wasn't until Luo Jie was far away that Tuoba Tao heard the old man's voice coming from afar.
"Buddha, have more children! If you don't have anyone to bring it, I'll bring it to you! "
Tuoba Tao didn't know why his nose was sore, and all the anger and unwillingness he had been full of before were swept away, and he looked straight at the continuous eaves in front of the palace, and stood for a long time.
It wasn't until the palace people came to ask carefully that Tuoba Tao came back to his senses and ordered a guard to go to the Xuanwu Gate to issue an edict.
"Go and sue King Sù Le'an, you don't have to kneel anymore, go to the Luo Jie Mansion and thank you."
"Yes."
Luo Jie left the palace, and Tuoba Tao also discussed the matter of Tuoba Fan with the courtiers, no matter whether Tuoba Fan had the intention of letting his son replace him, this road was already impassable.
Once any conspiracy is lifted into the sun, a conspiracy cannot become a conspiracy.
A few days later, Tuoba Tao wanted to reward the meritorious heroes of the Northern Expedition, and at that time, all the rights of Tuoba Fan's subordinates would be divided up by many meritorious heroes because of this matter.
This is probably the most terrible punishment for him.
After that, throw him into a remote place to be an idle official and take care of him, even if he can really follow Liu Song's path, he has no military power and no right in his hands, and Liu Yikang will not work him.
and Liu Song's matter, Tuoba Fan will not admit it, and he can't find any evidence.
But Tuoba Tao has Yan Qi and Liu Yuanjing in his hands, and he already knows a lot of news, even if Tuoba Fan doesn't admit it, he can detect it little by little.
Now that the foreign enemy has been destroyed, the Quartet is peaceful, and the prices are stable, because a large number of people have been captured, the national strength will also be thriving, it is the time when the Great Wei ushered in the first great rule, and he can't set off civil strife because of this matter, burying hidden dangers in the future.
Luo Jie is right, the biggest hidden danger now does not come from the outside, nor from the treacherous villain, but from the palace.
As soon as he entered the harem, he felt that he had become a stallion, and the matter of being a woman was naturally very fond of it when he was most curious at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but when he had more things in his heart, he thought about it more, and he didn't care much about it.
No matter how beautiful the beauty is now, in his eyes, she is just "the daughter of the Dugu family", "the daughter of the Yifu family", "the princess of the xx country" and other labels.
And those girls he used to like slowly turned into a different picture in the harem, which made him can't help but want to escape.
For the sake of the stability of Great Wei, he has to put on his robe again, step into the "land of long-term war", and "fight" with a group of women, and then think about protecting his children in the chaotic harem.
He doesn't have a queen, and there is no real queen mother in the harem, he is a man after all, and he has been fighting all year round, even if he wants to deal with the affairs of the harem, he has neither energy nor experience.
The harem is so big, but there are more and more women, and more women will come in the future, if there are not a few powerful women to help him protect his heirs, I am afraid that he can only be the same as the previous "cat" and "dog", even if the name is cheap, it will disappear quietly.
That's it, choose someone to enter the palace, choose someone to enter the palace, if you can really find the means and willing to protect his child, it's the best naturally, if not, at most it will remain the same.
With my mother protecting Huang'er, this one will definitely grow up safely.
Tuoba Tao thought of his son in the harem, and thought of the gentle woman, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
If there is no accident, Tuoba Huang will definitely be the prince, he originally thought that the child would be born to die to his mother, but he was worried that his son would suffer the pain of losing his mother like him.
He was made a prince when he was a teenager, and the day after he was made a prince, his mother was gone.
Fortunately, although the daughter of the He family has raised him for more than half a year, he is still young after all, and he will not suffer the same pain as him.
Thinking about the mess, Tuoba Tao stepped into the "Ci'an Palace" where the Empress Dowager Dou lived, which was the most spacious palace in the palace except for his residence.
Because she had greeted her before coming, Empress Dowager Dou thoughtfully left half of the palace on the right to Tuoba Tao, his wife and children, and she was a little tired and fell asleep first.
Tuoba Tao was not worried about his son, and his wife and children had already been entrusted to the care of Empress Dowager Dou when he set out on the expedition, and now Mrs. He has not moved back to the side hall where she lived with other ladies.
Tuoba Tao came to see his son, Mrs. He could only hold her son who was less than a year old to see the driver, Tuoba Tao really liked this well-behaved and sturdy son, and held him high all the way in the palace to tease, causing laughter in the Ci'an Palace.
Even Mrs. He, who was introverted by nature, couldn't help but grin the corners of her mouth, and the smile was very moving.
Under the candlelight, Tuoba Tao looked at the Herai clan, who had become more mature and charming because he had given birth to a child, and thought that he had to do his best to establish a prince, and this moving woman would also die because of it, and he didn't want to enter the harem even more.
But there is evil, I still have to say.
He sits. [,! On the cushion, with his hands on his cheeks, he watched Mrs. He pat her son who was laughing until he couldn't stop hiccuping, but he came out with a sentence that was enough to condense the atmosphere.
"I'm ready to make Ah Huang the crown prince."
Mrs. He patted her son's hand and stiffened, and her face suddenly turned pale.
She hugged her son tightly, and when she saw that he was staring at her with wide eyes and not moving, she couldn't help but cover his eyes and face.
Although she knew that he didn't understand what was going on, she still didn't want her son to see the resentful look she might have shown.
"I ...... Thank you for your grace......"
She felt her son's little hands tugging at her wrists.
"Until then, can I stay with the emperor?"
Tuoba Tao is not afraid of Mrs. He's crying, nor is she afraid of Mrs. He's hysteria, even if she curses herself, it is better than this while trembling and whispering to ask.
From the time he ascended the throne, Tuoba Tao understood the great power that the "imperial throne" could bring.
It can flatten mountains and rivers, and it can also allow lakes to be filled in; It can make your enemies kneel before you, and it can also make the people who loved you the most become your enemies.
But there are some things that the emperor can't shake lightly.
That's the "rules".
Tuoba Tao looked at Mrs. He, as if she had seen her mother.
His mother, Du Concubine, was a woman with a strong personality, otherwise she would not have been able to raise a son like him. For several years before he was established as the crown prince, Concubine Du had gradually stopped contacting him, and even the Dou family was found by her.
She would rather have other women raise him, and no longer be kind to him.
When she died, everyone said that she was given to die, but Koro told him that she had committed suicide on her own. The white silk that gave death had not yet arrived, and she had already stabbed herself to death with a golden hairpin.
Death is very decisive.
Tuoba Tao had asked her countless times in midnight dreams why she did this, but her mother's face had long been blurred, and she never answered him.
He always felt that she resented him, so he didn't want to talk to him even in his dreams.
But when he looked at Mrs. He, who was covering his son's face, Tuoba Tao felt that his guess might be wrong.
"You, hate?"
Tuoba Tao did not answer Mrs. He's request, but only wanted to know the answer.
How can you not hate?
She hated this cruel rule, she hated the hard-hearted emperor, she hated the parents who sent her to the palace, she hated why she was the only one who gave birth to a son and supported her......
Mrs. He opened her mouth, but she felt something licking her palm.
Warm, hot, tickling, just like she had felt countless times before when she had held him in her arms and felt him close to her chest, hugging her with admiration.
She shivered again, only to feel the dampness and heat in her hands, she looked at the sky, and slowly let out a tear in her eyes, and when it was full, the tears flowed down her pale cheeks.
Mrs. He didn't say anything in the end, just shook her head desperately.
She kept shaking, shaking, as if she wanted to shake all the previous grievances out of her mind, and as if she wanted to shake all the fears out of her heart, such a docile woman, even expressing her inner emotions, was also silent.
Little Tuoba Huang couldn't see anything, and he didn't even have a sound in his ears.
He opened his mouth desperately, but apart from sticking out his little tongue and uttering a few syllables that disappeared into his mother's palm......
"Wow! Ahh Ahhh "
After a period of silence, there was a sudden sound of Tuoba howling and crying in the palace room!
Tuoba Tao had never seen Tuoba Huang cry like this, this child had always appeared in front of him with a well-behaved and intelligent appearance.
Mrs. He was also taken aback by such a scream, stopped her gaffe, and kept coaxing her son, and even did not avoid the emperor being here, she lifted her son's clothes to see if he had urinated and pulled.
The palace people who were waiting outside the palace hurriedly came over to see what was going on, and Tuoba Tao drove away all the palace people with a cold face, and then he reached out to his son and personally held him in his arms.
"You hurt too, don't you? But if we Tuoba men want to sit in that seat, we must go through this day......"
He watched as little Tuoba shook her crying hoarsely, and then as Madame He slid feebly to the ground, as if the denial she had just denied had drained all her energy.
"Don't you hate?" Tuoba Tao stretched out a finger and poked his son's red face from crying. Do you really not hate?"
"I don't hate, but I'm afraid that my children will hate themselves......"
Mrs. He clutched her chest and cried silently.
"When he grows up, how am I going to let him know that I don't hate?!"
When he grows up, how can I let him know that I don't hate!
How do I let him know that I don't hate!
Tuoba Tao almost couldn't hold his son, and his whole body trembled violently.
Tuoba's cry even hiccuped from this trembling.
'Well, I've always been a wayward king anyway......
Tuoba Tao went from numb coldness to extreme impulsiveness step by step.
He looked at the one who was crying, put his son on the soft couch, grabbed Mrs. He's cold hand, bent down to the woman who was sitting on the ground, and said:
"You've got a few months left."
Congratulations.[,!] Madame nodded, she had already felt the arrival of this day in the silence and cold of nearly a year, no matter how kind the Empress Dowager Dou was, she could not calm down her inner understanding.
"In three months, I will declare Ah Huang the crown prince, and you only have three months."
Tuoba Tao took her hand, and his voice was as cheerful as before, as if he was nervous and guilty of himself.
"For these three months, I will pamper you as much as possible, and if you can conceive, you will have another ten months......"
Tuobatao's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he was using all his wisdom to meditate on her way out.
"I don't know how to save you, I'm telling the truth. I can't change the rules of your ancestors for you, and I can't spare your life without hiding from everyone's eyes, but give me ten months, and I can come up with ......"
The crying and gasping in the room had stopped for some time, and Mrs. He tilted her head as if she had seen her husband's true face for the first time.
"You won't have Holai's surname anymore, and the Holai family won't grow in strength because of you, but I'll find a way to save your life. There will be a way to get the best of both worlds......"
Tuoba Tao clenched Mrs. He's hand, as if she had seen someone.
"I'll definitely figure it out!"
