Chapter 374: My heart is entangled
The sky is about to get dark, and the crown prince Zhao Yuliang has not left the Yinghua Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because of the different opinions on the handling of the two official submissions, the crown prince and the emperor were in a restrained stalemate at this time.
In the end, the crown prince chose to give in.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult for princes who have different political views from the emperor to have a good end, and these lessons of his predecessors have long been deeply engraved in his mind, so once he senses that the emperor is unwilling to accept his opinion, he adopts a submissive way. But of course, this obedience is only superficial.
The emperor's face softened, but he was faintly disappointed in his heart, he pointed to the stool next to him and said to the prince, "Sit." ”
Previously, the prince knelt down and explained to him his views on the two twists and turns.
The prince got up and sat down on a stool beside him.
The emperor took a sip of the tea, then put the teacup down, looked at the prince and said, "I still say the same thing - some things have to be done when you sit in that position and reach that height before you know what is most appropriate, and only then can he weigh the pros and cons clearly." You're the crown prince now, and you may not be able to understand what I'm doing in your position, which is normal. ”
The crown prince nodded and said, "What my father said is true." ”
The emperor looked at the prince for a long time, and said: "I know that you are an assertive and thoughtful person, but I have to tell you - if you want to become a great monarch, it is not possible to be too individualistic and idealistic, after all, the ideological realm of most people is not at your level, and whether you can sit firmly on the throne needs their approval, as the saying goes, water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, and solving the problems of the world in a too idealistic way will not only not let you get everyone's support but will cause everyone to misunderstand, The ultimate consequence is unpopular with the people, you know? ”
When the prince heard this, he hesitated for a moment before replying softly: "Erchen knows." ”
The emperor pointed to a cup of tea next to him for the prince to drink, and the prince took two sips.
"It's not that you can do whatever you want when you become a monarch, on the contrary, after becoming a monarch, many things are known to be able to do but dare not do it, don't look at me all these years in front of people to be extremely honorable, in fact, every day is like walking on thin ice." The emperor said earnestly.
The crown prince glanced at the emperor and said respectfully: "Erchen understands that my father has really worked hard over the years. ”
Maybe he was tired, the emperor's face showed a tired expression, he leaned back in the chair, and said slowly: "If you are born in the emperor's family, you should get rid of your innocence as soon as possible, understand the truth of the law of the jungle as early as possible, don't be emotional, and don't trust others easily, even if you are closest to yourself." ”
This should be what he really said, right? Isn't this a true portrayal of him sitting in this position all these years?
The prince suddenly felt some sympathy for him, and felt a nameless pressure.
"Erchen understands, thank you for your father's advice." Prince Zhao Yuliang said.
The emperor seemed to be very tired and slowly closed his eyes.
Only then did the prince dare to raise his eyes to look at him.
With the help of the light on the table, the prince suddenly found that the emperor's seal hall was a little black, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.
The crown prince hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How is my father feeling recently?" ”
Hearing his question, the emperor was stunned, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him and asked, "What?" ”
The emperor has always been suspicious.
The prince hurriedly explained: "Seeing that his father's face was tired and a little pale, the son was very worried about his father's body. ”
The emperor's face softened slightly, and he replied, "I haven't been in good health recently, so you don't have to worry. ”
The crown prince nodded, but still did not forget to ask with concern: "Then the father and the emperor should rest well, and the son will retire first." ”
The emperor let out an 'um' and closed his eyes.
The prince got up and gently retreated.
When he walked to a small gate a few zhang away from the East Palace, Gonggong Ling suddenly trotted over from the side path and whispered to the prince, "Your Highness, there is a situation. ”
The prince understood, and hurriedly led him into the flower garden on the side.
"What's going on?" The prince asked in a low voice.
Father-in-law Ling quickly looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he approached the prince and said, "Your Highness, Zhang Zhaoyi has corresponded with his father yesterday and today. ”
The prince was immediately stunned, and then asked, "Can you intercept the letter?" ”
Father-in-law Ling said with a ashamed face: "Today, the slave sent someone to stop it, but just when the slave was about to grab the letter, two palace maids suddenly rushed out next to him and snatched the letter away. ”
The prince's expression froze, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who are those two palace maids?" ”
"Their skills are too fast, and the people of the slaves don't see it clearly, but it is estimated that they should be the people next to Zhang Zhaoyi." Ling's father-in-law said.
"Zhang Zhaoyi has never communicated with his father in the form of letters since he entered the palace, and I am afraid that this time the incident is a little strange." The prince groaned.
However, it is no longer possible to get those letters. This is the biggest regret.
Gonggong Ling was also very nervous when he heard the prince say this, and hurriedly asked what to do next.
The prince said, "Immediately add five more people to keep an eye on her." You start arranging it today, you need three palace maids, two fathers-in-law, and martial arts. ”
"Yes." Gonggong Ling immediately took the order and left.
The prince stood still for a while before walking towards the East Palace.
Back in the East Palace, the prince immediately sent Lin Frame over.
"Recently, the palace may not be very peaceful, I am worried about something on His Majesty's side, and I am also worried about my personal safety, so recently I want to add two personal guards with strong martial arts, you can help me find it early tomorrow morning." The prince said to Lin Frame.
Lin Jian hurriedly asked, "What happened in the palace?" ”
The prince replied, "The details are not clear, but we must be vigilant." ”
"Yes. Does Your Majesty need to send someone to protect it?" Lin Frame asked in a low voice.
The prince said: "I will remind Gonggong Zhang tomorrow and ask him to strengthen His Majesty's security management." ”
Father-in-law Zhang is the emperor's personal bodyguard, and it is most appropriate for him to follow up on these matters, not to mention that the prince doesn't want the emperor to know that he is in charge of his affairs.
Lin Jian understood, so he nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
"Go ahead." Prince Road.
"Yes." Lin Frame retreated.
The prince got up and walked to the window, looking out at the night with his hands down.
He vaguely felt that something would happen in the palace next, and his whole heart couldn't help but be entangled.
The crown princess gently lifted her skirt and came in, and said softly: "Your Highness, dinner has been prepared, let's have dinner first." ”
The prince, who was a little apprehensive and sad, turned his head to look at her and said, "Okay." ”
He has been having dinner at the princess's side recently, but most of the time he stays at Wen Yingsu's side after dinner.
It was still a very rich dinner, but the prince didn't have much appetite.
He drank a small bowl of soup, sandwiched a few more dishes to eat, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks.
The crown princess saw that he had been eating less and less recently, for fear that his body would not be able to bear it, so she asked, "Is the food unappetizing?" Do you want to make a few more from the kitchen? ”
"No need." The prince hurriedly waved his hand.
He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and said, "I'll go to the Inviting Moon Pavilion." ”
So he walked out.
