The Emperor Taishang was a little surprised, smiled and nodded: "It's hard for you, in fact, I understand that I pass on the emperor to you, and on the surface, I treat you very well, but in fact, I handed over a mess in your hands, and I want you to clean up the mess for me." Now I don't come to help you take over while you're still alive, but I still pull you back, it's really unseemly. ”

"Fathers don't have to say that, sons don't dare to be." The emperor stood up and bowed to be taught.

The Emperor Taishang waved his hand again to let him return to his seat, and said solemnly and earnestly: "Today's matter is the last time I hinder your hands and feet, and I promise you a word, and from now on, I will never say more to the government." I am relieved that the world is in your hands. ”

The Emperor quietly raised his eyes and looked at his father. The question that has been lingering for a whole year is coiled in my heart - why is it to change the world to him?

The eldest brother Bai Yuanxi was made the crown prince as early as he was a child, but he didn't expect to die before the weak crown. He was born with the third Yuan Ying, he is nominally an elder brother, but in fact he is only a little more than a month older than Yuan Ying.

Ever since he could remember, he knew that Yuan Ying was always more likable and loved than him. The father was kind to Yuan Ying, but he was cruel to him; 's mother was originally his biological mother and Yuan Ying's adoptive mother, but she teased Yuan Ying with a dazzling smile from time to time, and as soon as she turned to him, her smile disappeared; The subordinates praised the three princes when they talked about it, but after he fell asleep, he quietly complained about the poor number of lives before he was assigned to serve him......

It seems that the entire Zhiyang Palace is Yuan Ying's home, and he is under the fence. He knows that Yuan Ying was born more beautiful than him, and he is smarter than him, whether intentionally or not, he can please people, he has been old-fashioned, silent, and stubborn since he was a child, let him get along with others, I am afraid he will also feel that Yuan Ying is better than him.

Therefore, he is convinced, others will give Yuan Ying whatever they like, he is not rare, and he never fights. He will not pretend to serve others in order to please others and compete for some benefits.

After the death of the eldest brother, there has been no more crown prince. Since then, his father has arranged for him and Yuan Ying to study the general affairs together, which were originally arranged for the prince to learn, and the vassal king has never dabbled in it, and has never taught the two princes and classmates. The father was obviously hesitating between him and Gen Ying.

He understands that he is ranked second, and he is the biological son of the successor, and he is the rightful heir to the throne, since his father hesitated, he made it clear that he did not want to see him, and he was psychologically more inclined to Yuan Ying. Emperor Taishang did a lot of foolish things, and even did a more obvious foolish thing at that time - posthumously crowned Yuan Ying's deceased biological mother as his successor.

The former queen died early, and the biological mothers of the two and three princes were just concubines back then, and his biological mother had already been named the successor, which is now the queen of Taishang, which is the guarantee of his eldest son's identity, but the emperor Taishang posthumously sealed Yuan Ying's biological mother as the successor, that is, he also gave Yuan Ying the title of a son-in-law, isn't this intention obvious?

This and another incident occurred when he was fifteen years old. So much so that when he insisted on leaving Beijing at the age of fifteen, outsiders thought that it was because he was dissatisfied with his father's decision. In fact, this understanding is not wrong, he does have the heart to declare to his father with his own actions: You don't have to hesitate anymore, I am happy to be an adult!

He went to Shaanxi to be his own king of Qin, and he was happy to be at ease. Wang Zhi and the others spread the word that the emperor had violated the peace and had begun to supervise the country with the three princes, but he also did not listen to it.

He's more qualified, so what? I'm afraid that many people don't know that there is a second prince Yuan Chen in the world. Outsiders may feel sorry for him, feeling that what should have belonged to him was robbed by Yuan Ying, but he didn't mind, and he could only let himself not mind, otherwise what could he do?

He is not a woman's kindness, and he may not dare to do cannibalism, but it depends on why, for the sake of power and profit? That's a joke. Killing one's father and brother for the sake of a mere throne is tantamount to a mad dog biting and fighting for a meat bone. The supreme authority in the eyes of others does not weigh more than one's own personality.

He figured out at the time that when his father died, as long as Yuan Ying could tolerate him, he would be an idle vassal king, and if Yuan Ying found trouble with him, he would rather go to the end of the world incognito than learn from Ming Taizong to make any changes. He doesn't bother to do the kind of things that are beautiful on the surface and poked in the back by people in the back.

When he left Beijing, he planned not to come back, but last year he heard that his father was critically ill, and received a letter written by his father calling him back to Beijing.

When he came back from this trip, his mother was still cold to him, but his father's attitude towards him was the same as before, he thought that it was just that people were dying, and he was more caring for his family.

But he never imagined that half a year after arriving in Beijing, his father made him the prince, and soon issued an edict to abdicate the throne and pass the throne to him.

He also asked why this was more than once, and his father would always answer with a smile: This is a matter of course, what else is it necessary?

What's the right thing to do? In the past, what two princes and classmates did in political affairs, what posthumously sealed the successor, and what promoted the source of the country, can they all be wiped out by this simple perfunctory sentence?

What did Yuan Ying do to make his father lose his trust? He had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't see any clues. The relationship between his father and Yuan Ying is still as close as ever, and there is no separation at all, and the Jinyi Guard that Qiu Yu took over has never detected any traces, and Yuan Ying covets the throne and has no need to attack his father.

Why, he never knows.

Since the development of the dynasty, it can be called a bad etiquette, and most of the scholars are selfish and selfish, and there are not so many people who uphold orthodoxy and uphold the way of heaven. Few of the courtiers would come to persuade the Emperor to appoint him, as can be seen from their uncooperative attitude towards the new emperor. Obviously, most of them already regarded Yuan Ying as the prince, and it was likely that they had made various preparations for this.

The emperor's decision was unexpected by the whole world, and it was clearly a temporary change, but no one knew the reason. He also learned from Guò's subordinates that even Empress Taishang was confused.

The ministers are at a loss, especially after he has vigorously suppressed corruption in the past year, those people call him a tyrant behind their backs, and they can't wait to take advantage of the fact that the emperor is still alive, and he will take back his life and set up three princes.

Not to mention Yuan Ying herself. In the past year, in order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately pretended to be a child in front of him and pretended to be a playboy, but what did he do secretly? The people called Qiao Anguo's friends the "Eunuch Party", but in fact, he knew that those people should be called the "Tan Party".

Qiao Anguo is actually far from being as powerful as the legends in the outside world. No matter how powerful the eunuch is, he is just a retainer of the Son of Heaven, a minion, and his authority is given by the royal family. On the surface, it seems that it was the favor of the Emperor Taishang who supported Qiao Anguo, but in fact, the three princes made great efforts behind the scenes.

Qiao Anguo has long been familiar with Yuan Ying by serving the emperor, and in the name of personal friendship, he brazenly entered and exited the Tan Palace, not only to collect power for Yuan Ying, but also to block all the bad reputation for Yuan Ying, and his subordinates are Yuan Ying's subordinates.

In other words, it is not Qiao Anguo who has friends all over the world, but the three princes behind Qiao Anguo. Those ministers have the courage to disobey the emperor, all because Yuan Ying is behind his back.

When he doesn't know? He just hasn't had a seizure yet.

How can this situation happen now? came to my father and said that Yuan Ying was in Shuai and the ministers to demolish the stage for him, and asked his father to come forward to uphold justice? Not to mention this kind of method of complaining about the pity of the black man, he disdains to use it when he is young, and now the emperor is a person who may die of illness at any time in the mouth of the imperial doctor, how can he use the disaster of Xiao Wall to annoy his father?

Yuan Ying stabbed him in the back, and he could only fight back in private, in the harem across the wall, in front of his parents and sister, the brothers tacitly pretended to be a group of brothers, friends and brothers. So much so that none of the three relatives was sure whether there was a fight between them.

It can be seen that he speculated too well about this third brother at the beginning, if the throne is really passed to Yuan Ying, as a more orthodox heir, he will never be tolerated by him, and at that time, it will be the result of staying incognito and avoiding other places.

It's really boring for a family to end up like this. In the final analysis, it was because of his father's different style that everyone was caught off guard.

He always wanted to ask his father, why bother? Why should he be made against the will of all?

But asking is also a vain question. Although his father has always shown sincerity in his treatment of each other for a year, he has come to wipe the mud as soon as he hears him turn the topic here, and after so many years of being neglected, he has long forgotten how to make friends with his loved ones.

He can only silently forgive himself, maybe his father sees that he is more competent than Yuan Ying, no matter what the internal situation is, since he has taken on this responsibility, he can only go all out, in order to live up to the trust.

At this time, the foreman eunuch of the Taishang Dynasty who was waiting in the bright room nodded, and the eunuch recruited the people waiting outside the door to serve the palace, and soon put a few kinds of food neatly on the table, the fragrant and pleasant pine nut lotus leaf porridge, with ten kinds of red, red, green and green side dishes.

"I'm going to have some supper, so you can join us." Seeing that he was about to shirk when he opened his lips, the Emperor Taishang waved his hand and cut it in his head, "Zuo is just a little thing about the people in southern Anhui, and it will not be too late to deal with it after eating." Do you think that I am entertaining you like this in order to bribe you on behalf of Anguo? ”

The emperor was a little ridiculous, and his expression finally relaxed. He didn't have anyone staring at Ciqing Palace, but the Emperor Taishang was obviously paying attention to his Longxi Pavilion, and his style of saving dinner at every turn seemed to have been betrayed to his father by Wang Zhi a long time ago.

No matter what, with a bowl of lotus leaf porridge in his hand, he still felt the warmth in his heart. It's one thing to fight or not, it's another thing entirely to want it or not.

After the supper, the emperor persuaded him to go to bed early, saying that if there was an emergency, he could push it to the eunuch Bingbi to make the decision for him. The emperor hastily complied, and took his leave. If it weren't for the Emperor Taishang handing over state affairs to the eunuchs in the past, he would not have raised the lawless Qiao Anguo.

He could not accuse his father of his mistakes, but he could not repeat them.

The moment he stepped out of the threshold of the main hall of Ciqing Palace, the plain white figure suddenly flashed in his mind again, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky, silently thinking: I don't know if Yuan Ying will settle her down tonight.

Yuan Ying...... He walked quietly, the corners of his lips unconsciously revealing a hint of sarcasm, thinking back to what Zhuojin said during the day, and began to find it interesting. With Zhuo Jin's repeated warnings, Yuan Ying must not have any more ideas to hit her, right?
