Chapter 199
Zhu Tingwen smiled silently, this is the experience he has gained for so many years, people can only pretend to be stupid and be full of money to make people less defensive about you, otherwise make enemies everywhere, how can you live this life? This is also a choice that there is no way to make, no one can really not care, but until they can survive unharmed, all this is nothing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Those thoughts of fighting really don't exist, he has never had any other extravagant hopes, he just wants to live and play this life in peace, but now he has an idea that he has never had, that is, to be able to take the woman of Eniang with him all the time, no matter where he goes, he will be together, even if he looks at each other without saying a word, as long as he gives each other a warm smile, it is good, and he will be content. But listening to the emperor's intentions, his mind still planned to marry a girl from a rich and noble family to himself, and his heart suddenly reached the bottom, even if it was Fang Cai's jokes, he still couldn't stop a burst of bitterness from pouring out of his heart.
Zhu Zhao saw a touch of desolation and helplessness in the eyes of the imperial uncle, he shook his head helplessly, this is probably the most helpless thing they face as royals, I don't know how many royals are desperate for their love, but in the end, they still haven't escaped the arrangement of fate, and can only end up dismal.
They are undoubtedly continuing to follow the old path of their predecessors, and there is still a fog in front of them that they can't see clearly, and no one knows what the outcome will be, and they are helpless to hesitate with all these emotions piled up in their hearts, giving people a feeling of being heavy and breathless.
The emperor's attention did not stay on this matter for long, and soon talked about the war in Yunnan, and was even more sad about the rebellion of the king of Yunnan, it was precisely because of their absolute trust that he handed over that place to them to govern on his behalf, but who would have thought that such a result only fueled their arrogance, so that they did not know that the sky was high and they thought that they could already fight against the sky, it was really the most funny thing in the world, he praised a group of soldiers, and the appreciation of Zhu Zhao in his eyes stabbed everyone painfully. This kind of power that they originally fixed has caused a lot of fluctuations, maybe I don't know when this person who suddenly appeared will start to divide everything they have, no matter who it is, they can't accept it, let alone allow such a thing to happen, so now they treat Zhu Zhao with congratulations, young and promising, but secretly they are thinking about how to better suppress him, so that his talented force will be sold like this.
In fact, the people in the entire court understood the things, and even the emperor sitting on the Gao Tang Dynasty understood that even he was helpless about this kind of thing that floated in the shadows and could not be moved to the table. But to be an emperor, these things are the difficulties he must overcome, no one can help him, after all, if he can't even endure this bit of suffering, then he is really not a very good candidate, even if he wants to live and fly with the person he loves, he can't joke with the whole world, this is disrespectful to the ancestors and ancestors, and it is a child's play with the people of Limin.
It was precisely because he wanted to hone him that the emperor rewarded the sixth prince Zhu Zhao in the crowd, and these few great achievements were enough to make him hold heavy power. Have you ever seen a man rise from the lowest level to the most powerful person in the entire court? Although this kind of person is worthy of envy, he is also the most defensive person of the emperor, and all the courtiers only hesitate for a moment to understand the emperor's intentions. The emperor's purpose in doing this is to cultivate a reliable city wall for the future emperor, the six princes are not candidates to compete for imperial power, he can only be a courtier, driven by the future emperor, otherwise why would he agree to what the six princes have been longing for? But how can a merchant woman help him in the future? However, this is also the result that everyone is willing to see, so all the nervousness of his family has been put in the back of his mind, and his attitude towards Zhu Zhao has become polite.
Zhu Tingwen on the side was a little anxious in his heart, since Ah Zhao's affairs were all done, then he could think about it, and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, my brother has something to play." The emperor cares about his brother and chooses a wife for his brother, and his brother is full of emotion, but in Yunnan in the past few years, there is a girl who has been with his brother, and his brother does not ask for anything else, but only hopes to stay with the second woman, no one else to disturb, that girl deserves a better person to match, and the brother is afraid that he will not be able to live with others. ”
The emperor's brows furrowed tightly, he didn't expect that Tingwen and Zhu Zhao would have this kind of thought one by one, and their feelings were all coming to him today. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said: "No, you are a prince with a respected status, how can you be matched by those ordinary folk women?" Don't say that again, I won't agree. ”
Zhu Tingwen didn't give up, gritted his teeth and knelt down and said: "The younger brother has been keeping to himself for so many years, and he has never asked the imperial brother for anything. The subordinate brother has been alone for so many years, and it is not easy to want to stay with the person who stays with him for a long time, and the subordinate brother is willing to stay away from the capital with her in this life and never make up for it again. ”
The emperor stood up and said angrily: "Okay, you Zhu Tingwen, you should be a man-eating beast and can't tolerate you?" It's not you who I'm for? With such a temperament, in the future, your children and grandchildren will fall, and your heart will be happy? You are my own brother, I want you to live better than anyone else, but you have to earn some air, and I can still protect you when I live, if ...... If you insist, then I will never care about your affairs in the future, and you can do whatever you want. It's just that once you choose, there is no possibility of turning back, have you thought about it? ”
Zhu Tingwen was suddenly overjoyed, and bowed again and again: "Thank you to the emperor, my brother will always remember the emperor's great kindness." ”
The emperor was still thinking about the errand arranged for him, but seeing that he no longer had his brother in his eyes, he was suddenly lost, and he couldn't even tie his heart, so what's the use of forcing him to do things he doesn't like? The only thing he, the imperial brother, can do for him is to let him not suffer outside, as long as it is under his territory, no one can bully him.
In fact, the emperor knew in his heart that it was him, the imperial brother, who bullied Tingwen the most, and when he first sat in this position, he didn't believe anyone, even Tingwen...... He was also driven to a place far away from the capital and unable to unite forces, and changed places in two or three years, but the final result was only to make the relationship between the two brothers even thinner, which is a very sad thing, watching him give all his feelings to a woman he had never seen, and he could only be driven outside. In the final analysis, all of this was facilitated by himself, and now he is interfering with Tingwen like this, thinking that Tingwen should feel that his brother is very cold, and he doesn't take his feelings to heart.
After all, the estrangement after so many years could not be repaired, and then the two sat in a side hall, while drinking tea, and asked casually: "Tingwen, do you hate me as an elder brother very much in your heart?" You were still young and left you far away, you were clearly young at that time, and you were still very attached to the palace, I am the ...... of my brother"
Zhu Tingwen lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Since the conversation between the imperial brother and me is just a brother's conversation, then I won't hide it." I don't hate you, but I can't understand that at that time I only had disgust for the whole court, so you let me go I think it was salvation. I'm the youngest, you treat me very closely, I stick to you all the time, but one day I found out that my favorite brother has great ambitions, and even makes me feel a little scared, but then I didn't have the slightest heart for you. But after I saw my brothers who used to study together leave one after another, I was really desperate, this court is too terrible, isn't it good to live happily like that all the time? Why do you have to be in such a situation? Aren't you tired? There are so many other things in life that people can like, so why do you have to grab it? I didn't understand until I was older, how much temptation power has for people, I thought if I was also my brother's age at that time, would I also have the mind to compete for the world, I thought about it in Yunnan for so many years, I suddenly understood, I won't, because brother, you like, I won't go to grab what you like. They all beat me, scolded me, laughed at me, and only you were very good to me, and you hurt me in your heart. It's just that I feel a little sad when you throw me out and ignore me. I used to think about what we would become in the end, but now I see that no matter how good the relationship was at the beginning, it has been diluted after all, like a puff of smoke, which will soon disappear, and the distance between me and you may be as far as from the capital to Yunnan, and I don't know how to go back to the beginning. Brother, you know what? I've been alone for too long, I feel very tired, but fortunately there is another person in my vitality, I don't want to let her down, I want to be with her. ”
A wry smile appeared at the corner of the emperor's mouth, in fact, in the end, it was himself who was pitiful and humble, and the relatives who had been by his side had left him, even if his son was thinking about the position he was sitting in, the people of the royal family were born miserable, as if they were paying off the debts accumulated in their previous lives, and they could not be liberated until they died. But people can't understand the taste of power, once they hold it, they are unwilling to let go, and in the end, he understands that those forgetfulness is just a false dream, he only hopes that there will be no more competition in the future, and he can live a life like ordinary people, love each other for a lifetime, this place is no longer a frightening place, how good should it be? He didn't know if there would be such a day in the future, so he pinned all his hopes on his son, who would inherit his position.
"If my brother really disagrees, I'm just afraid that I will really hate you this time, the only time in my life that I feel that I have come back to life, you just deprived me of my life, how do you think I can forgive you like this? It's impossible, really, everyone has a bottom line, who wouldn't be calm when others touch their bottom line? ”
The emperor smiled when he heard this, and said helplessly: "If I don't agree to you, I think you don't plan to recognize me as an elder brother." When I'm older, I feel that I'm busy all my life, I haven't gotten anything, all kinds of bitter tastes can only be swallowed by myself, don't look at me at this time, this burden on my shoulders is really going to crush people, when I give them this little thing, I will be relaxed. ”
Zhu Tingwen thought of Zhu Zhao, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke: "Why does the emperor want to practice Azhao's child? seems to have given him a lot of power, he can only be a subordinate in this life, and it seems that he is more competent than anyone else, and the emperor is too much to bury him. ”
The corners of the emperor's mouth hooked a beautiful arc, sighed and said: "He and you, the imperial uncle, really love him, I feel relieved." Among so many heirs, I am most sorry for the fifth and sixth children, I am really ashamed of them, I watched my good son being harmed by them like that, my heart is like a knife. Do you think I don't know what kind of life the fifth child is living in the cold palace? But I can't say it, because as long as I make any moves, those people's guns will be aimed directly at the child, I can't look past it, but there is nothing I can do, the emperor is not omnipotent, there is no way to protect the safety of his child, and I, the father, am the most incompetent. I can only protect him if I neglect and forget him, but I know that Zhu Zhao can't understand my good intentions, and he must be resentful of me in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have respected me as a father, but he is actually very alienated. People are like this, and I don't regret it until a lot of things happen, I know I can't make up for it, I just want them to blame me a little less, I, as a father, really want to make up for them. ”
Zhu Tingwen sighed and said: "During that time, the Qian Yun girl who followed Zhu Zhao invited Doctor Zhou to come out of the mountain, he was very skilled, Ah Zhao wanted to take the fifth child to show him, if there is a chance to cure it, it can also eliminate the estrangement between your father and son." I think it's time to let Ah Zhao go, it just so happens that I and Einiang also want to go south, you can go with them all the way, Ah Zhao is not much better than you, two children who depend on each other, suddenly one day a person suffers such a big grievance, how can you let it go? Zhao is a good boy, and I believe you have already made up your mind. Sometimes I really miss that time, two and a half old children pestering me to play together, that was the laughter I haven't heard outside for a long time, there was a time, I really like the days when I came back, these two children would stay with me, pestering me to talk about things outside, the royal brother would never know what they said at that time, do you want to hear it? We haven't been liked by our father and mother since we were young, it doesn't matter, because we met the imperial uncle to let us know that the outside world is much better than the palace, we have no ambitions, we don't care about the throne of the emperor, we just want to live this life well. When we grow up, we will go out and find a place where no one recognizes us, marry a wife and have children, and have nothing to do with that imperial city. Do you know how sad I felt when I heard that? Is it their fault that they don't feel the slightest affection here? No, it's not like that to be strong, it's not to be treated like this, and I really wanted to get them out of here at that time. I know now that I was wrong, if I knew that the fifth child would become like this, even if it was to offend you at that time, I would have taken these two children away, I really regret it. ”
"Brother Huang, are you happy to hear this now? Your own son never dared to expect to be close to you high-ranking people, the only thing he wanted was to escape from here, and would rather not want your lord to stay away from here, I am really sad to hear, how can people be like this? What exactly are they doing wrong? But such a young child should be treated so cruelly. It is because of my own experience that I sympathize with them more. ”
The emperor's lips trembled, he couldn't say a word for a long time, he heard such words in front of his relatives, and he only felt that his whole heart trembled. He never thought that the two children would have such thoughts when they were still very young, and he really felt that he had failed as a father.
"I really don't know, it turns out that Ah Zhao resents me so much in his heart, if the fifth child is sober now, he must be full of disappointment in my father? I don't really know...... I always wanted to be right, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was my own son who was wronged, I really made a big mistake, and I don't know that they will forgive me in the future. ”
Zhu Tingwen chuckled and shook his head: "You are their father, how can you say anything to forgive or not?" You also have your own feelings, many things have made you carry too many grievances, in fact, this is not your fault, and it is not too much for them, after all, you look at Ah Zhao has become different, his growth rate is very fast, but the blink of an eye can stand alone. I know that my brother was forced to enter the battle for the throne, because this is a place of personal cannibalism, if you don't kill others, others will come to kill you, in order to survive you can only make yourself stronger, in fact, I am a little glad that my brother is the emperor, otherwise how can I have a good life? In fact, Ah Zhao is the son who is most like you, he looks very cold, but he is actually a kind-hearted person, who does things in a measured manner, is not indecisive, and is simply decisive. I like this child very much, and I also ask the royal brother to take care of him, after all, that road will be difficult in the future, and he will be sad if there is no one to support him. If I, the imperial uncle, can have any ability, I must help him, but unfortunately I am also a person who can't protect myself now, and I can't think about anything, maybe that's it. I don't ask for anything, I will live this life well with the person I like, and I will be satisfied, as for my children, after I die, I will give Ah Zhao to take care of me, and promise them a good future. ”
The emperor was a little sad and even more bitter, pointed at him and scolded: "Don't say such things, it's like arranging things after death." Actually, the one who knows me best is your younger brother, you know what I'm thinking, the ministers outside want me to hurry up and settle down the prince, I'm in a dilemma now, I can't bring trouble to the person I like the most in my heart, let him become everyone's target, but set up a person who is immoral and incompetent, I'm really afraid of delaying his way back, this position has not made people live a happy day since the day they sat up, and many things are like nightmares haunting you, but you can't avoid it. When I heard your words, my heart began to worry, and I didn't know if I was right or wrong to do this, whether my own decision would hurt him in the end, and if he didn't want to, how would I deal with him? ”
Zhu Tingwen suddenly understood, and said in disbelief: "Brother Huang, could it be that you like Ah Zhao in your heart?" He won't feel unwilling, because the person he wants to protect, just like the original royal brother, once he enters the competition, he can't push it away. I know you're sad to see your sons earn your life for this position, and it's because you're from here that you find everything so hard to accept. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, even if they promise you on the surface that you will not make trouble, so secretly? It's been a constant struggle, who knows what will happen in the future, and if it really comes to the point where there is no way to stop, it will be too late. This rebellion of the king of Yunnan, I think you should have a bottom in your heart, if such a person stays, what will happen in the future, has the imperial brother thought about it? It's addictive to do bad things, and you dare to incite the king of Yunnan to rebel in front of you, who knows if it's to test you? I'm afraid to see how you react to this matter, and then touch your temper. I don't hide it from you, I really don't like your third son, he has a lot of eyes at a young age, and he always speaks with thorns, if he lets such a person gain power in the future, the people under the brokerage are waiting to be picked. ”
Although the emperor couldn't help but want to laugh, but after all, he was his own son, so he couldn't laugh, so he had to nod and say: "I have a sense of proportion, I can't let him turn over the sky, if he is too much, what I give can always be recovered." ”
Having said that, they all have a feeling in their hearts that they can't explain, obviously everything is on their lips but they can't say it clearly, maybe this is the unique life in the palace, and they won't feel anything if they get used to it.
No one knows what the emperor and the prince said, only that the prince's face looked a little dignified when he came out, but the whole person looked very relaxed, although people were very curious, they had nowhere to know what they had said, so they had to give up. However, it was rare for the sixth prince Zhu Zhao to win over, so that he wanted to go to see the child, but these people blocked the way.
