The emperor said to the second prince again: "Get up." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" said and said to the palace man who had already brought the tea: "Who gave him a drink. Don't be really thirsty. ”

The palace people helped the second prince, whose body was already shaking a little, and brought the water to him.

Although the second prince has some bitter meat drama ingredients, he did kneel and bask for almost a morning, and he didn't come back to life until he drank a bowl of tea and soup.

After he finished drinking tea, he said to the emperor, "Thank you, father." ”

Knowing that the emperor and the second prince should still have something to say, Gonggong Wan took the palace people out of the Qinzheng Palace, closed the door by the way, and gave the space to the father and son.

After Gonggong Wan went out, the emperor turned his back to the second prince and continued: "You don't have to come to intercede for your mother again, she should learn a little lesson." ”

The second prince said: "Isn't it true that my father can't look at the love of my mother and concubine who has served my father for more than ten years?" The queen mother and the third sister are all right......"

The emperor turned to look at him, his voice already tinged with a little anger, and said, "If the queen and Rui'er had something to do, the punishment of your mother would not have been the result. He continued to sink his voice, one by one in the Qinzheng Palace, and it also seemed to hit the prince's heart and said: "The country has a law, the queen is the middle palace, your mother should respect the queen, just like the prince is the prince, and you, the second prince, should also respect the prince, but has your mother done the respect for Changkun Palace?" ”

His eyes were sharp and sharp at the second prince, and then the second prince couldn't help but kneel down with a "plop", raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and called: "Father, the emperor......" He knew that the emperor still had an unfinished sentence that was: "Have you respected the prince?" ”

The Emperor continued: "Jing'er, do you know why your father named you the word 'Jing'? ”

The prince lowered his eyes and didn't speak, of course he knew that he named the prince "Tai", but named himself "Jing", but he hoped that he would respect the prince and be willing to respect the prince as his elder, and it was precisely because of this that he became more and more unwilling.

Why is he destined to be a minister to the prince from birth, he is not inferior to the prince, just because he is not a "grandson"?

However, in all dynasties, there are several princes who can ascend to the throne, and even their fathers are not descendants.

The emperor looked at him again and said, "I know what you are thinking, but I tell you that there are some things that I give you that are yours, not yours, and you can't take them." The prince is a prince, and the prince occupies the word 'chief', you have nothing to say. ”

The second prince knew that his father was warning him, but he was not convinced and lowered his eyes.

He clenched his fists, and finally kowtowed, then raised his head and looked at the emperor and said: "The father is unfair to the son, the son wants to compete with the prince for the position of prince, because the son-in-law thinks that his qualifications are not worse than the prince." The father said that he would establish a successor, but did the father ascend the throne by virtue of his grandson? When the first crown prince was the prince, his father didn't want to compete for the throne the same way, so why did he have to submit to the prince willingly when he got his son......"

The emperor was furious and said, "You are presumptuous! ”

The second prince insisted: "The son is not convinced, even if the father is angry and thinks that the son is guilty of the crime, he will deal with the son, and even expel the son from the clan, the son is still not convinced." ”

The emperor looked at him with half-squinted eyes, and his face was still angry: "Even if I wanted the throne back then, then I also relied on my own means to compete fairly, and I never did anything to kill my brother or murder other people's families...... But what about you, Xiao Er, look at what your foreign Wu family has done, the means are despicable and despicable. ”

The second prince lowered his eyes and didn't speak, but he was unconvinced in his heart, those despicable methods of the Wu family didn't help you ascend to the throne in the first place, how did you get to Erchen, it became despicable, is it really only allowed to set fire to the state officials and not allow the people to light the lamps?

The Emperor continued: "And you, Xiao Er, you said that you don't think that your qualifications are worse than the crown prince, but have you ever thought about using only fair means to get my recognition, instead of framing the crown prince? ”

The second prince was shocked, and just wanted to open his mouth to deny and refute, but the emperor didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Do you think that I really didn't make you the crown prince because you were not the eldest prince? I have seen too many shadows of the Wu family in you. You may be smart, but I don't believe you can be a good emperor. You can't even treat your brother well, so how can I believe that you can be kind to the people? ”

The second prince kowtowed heavily and said aggrievedly: "My father and emperor look at his son like this, but it's just because his son's foreign family is the Wu family." ”

The Emperor walked down. walked up to the second prince and said to him, "Raise your head." ”

The second prince had no choice but to raise his head.

The Emperor pointed to the seat above and asked, "What did you tell me about what you saw up there?" ”

The second prince didn't understand why the topic had changed so quickly, but he still looked at it, and then said, "Dragon chair." ”

The emperor said: "What you see above is the dragon chair, but what I see is the world of the Great Liang and the responsibility of the emperor." ”

The Emperor walked back to him, turned his back to him, and said, "Okay, since you said that I was unfair to you, then I will give you this opportunity to compete fairly with the crown prince." Don't you want to go to court like the crown prince? I will allow you to go to court, and I will also give you some errands for you to prove yourself. ”

The second prince didn't expect that the result would be like this in the end, so he became happy and kowtowed: "Thank you, father, the son will definitely live up to his father's expectations." ”

The emperor said: "But in between, you can only use fair means to compete fairly with the crown prince." If I find out that you have used other unseemly means, or perhaps to do something that kills your siblings, I will expel you from the clan and put you in seclusion. ”

The second prince said: "Erchen doesn't dare!" ”

The second prince finally let people help him out of the Qinzheng Palace, he kowtowed too much, and he still had injuries on his forehead. But he looked up at the sun outside, and felt nothing but light.

He said in his heart that even if he used fair means, he could still win the prince.

Father, look at it, and your sons will let you understand who is the most suitable for the position of prince.

In the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor was lying on his back, tilting his head slightly, looking a little lonely and helpless.

Gonggong Wan walked in quietly, sighed softly, and called: "Your Majesty ......"

The emperor suddenly sighed: "This palace, for this imperial chair, is really stormy...... Looking at the crown prince and the second child, it made me see the scene of the emperor's brothers competing for the throne when the emperor was the first emperor, my father's heart was painful for this, and people were weakening day by day, and I now also feel the pain of my father. ”

Gonggong Wan couldn't help but smile and comforted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Second Highness are just a small fight, how can they be compared with the time of the first emperor." "At that time, the princes and princes were all real battles with swords and guns, and even the government was in chaos.

Gonggong Wan said again: "The Second Highness is still young, so it's not surprising that he has a little idea, and the emperor slowly taught him to give him the truth." It's just that Gonggong Wan was a little puzzled and said, "It's just that the emperor, do you really plan to let His Royal Highness the Second Highness also go to the court and compete fairly with the crown prince?" ”

The emperor suddenly laughed and said, "I heard that the Lin family has already let go of the crown prince?" He paused for a moment and continued: "Whether it is me or the Lin family, they used to be too doting and indulgent to the prince, and they were too protective of him, so it's time for him to grow up. He can't take it for granted that the crown prince is his, and then stop trying, waiting for someone to deliver things to him. He can only grow in setbacks and crises, and Xiao Er will make him feel a sense of crisis. ”

So the emperor just treats the second prince as a pawn of the experienced prince?

He thought of the second prince who went out from here with confidence, and he thought that the emperor was really giving him a chance to compete fairly with the crown prince.

He couldn't help but feel a little pity for the second prince.

The emperor said again: "I believe that after the beating just now, Xiao Er should want to prove it to me by fair means, rather than despicable means." ”

The Emperor closed his eyes and sighed.

He knew that he might be unfair to the second prince, but the crown prince was the future of the country, and he had to help him up, and he couldn't let the country of Daliang decline in the hands of the prince, but should become a generation of Ming monarchs that went down in history, so he could only be unfair to the second prince.
