"Uncle Grandmother!" It was just a simple sentence, but the prince felt extremely difficult, and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly opening his mouth.

Sang Luo was slightly stunned, the prince never called his uncle and grandmother in private, what did it matter?

Seeing that he was in a difficult mood, Sang Luo was inconvenient to urge, so he just waited quietly for him to think clearly before speaking.

After a long period of silence, the two of them had been gone for almost half an hour, and the prince suddenly stopped, looked up at Sang Luo, his eyes were full of guilt and pain: "Father, he ...... Uncle must be careful everywhere, especially the people around him. ”

Sang Luo's eyes sank suddenly!

This is telling her that Emperor Kang Xuan is planning to secretly attack Mu Zhanbei? At the critical juncture when Mu Zhanbei wanted to clear all the obstacles and dominate the world for Emperor Kang Xuan, Emperor Kang Xuan wanted to do it?

No wonder the first emperor didn't even think about letting him inherit the throne before! With his careful thinking, if there are not enough capable ministers to support him, can he still sit firmly on the throne?

"It's okay!" Sang Luo looked at the little boy in front of him who was almost to his chin, suddenly leaned over and hugged him gently, and whispered in his ear, "Brother Huai'er, don't worry, your father was just lost for a while, and he won't really do anything to your uncle." What's more, you should also know your uncle's ability, right? ”

The crown prince opened his mouth, he was eager to say that his father was definitely not lost for a while. He was sure that in order to take down his uncle, his father was really willing to use the lives of countless people and soldiers in the northwest to bury his uncle. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them anymore because of this warm embrace.

For a moment, the prince even wondered if if he had spoken out, would this elder, whom he loved so much, look at him with alienation and resentment. Because he is the crown prince, the son of the man who wanted to kill the little emperor's uncle.

He would rather die than see that kind of disgust in this man's eyes.

Fortunately, what he thought didn't happen at all, Sang Luo was originally disgusted with Emperor Kang Xuan, and she liked the prince very much. She is not incomprehensible, and how can she transfer the hatred of the previous generation to the next generation.

only whispered a few words to appease the prince, and Sang Luo didn't say anything more. If he was just an ordinary teenager, she might have said a few more words of comfort. However, he is the crown prince, and he will be in charge of the entire country in the future. If a person in power is so weak that he needs to be comforted all the time to settle down, how can he keep the country?

Fortunately, the prince is not a really weak person, but this incident has a bit of a big impact on him, and it is against Shangsangluo, so he is a little out of proportion for a while. was persuaded by Sang Luo for a sentence or two, and he also crossed this hurdle.

When Sangluo was sent away, someone from the palace had already greeted him, only saying that the queen asked him to go to Yonghe Palace.

In Yonghe Palace, the mother and son sat and stood one by one, silent for a long time. In the end, Meng Zhiniang said indifferently: "What did the prince say?" ”

The prince lowered his eyes slightly, and his tone was equally indifferent: "Erchen is just catching up with his uncle and grandmother!" The queen mother also knows that Erchen has liked his uncle and grandmother the most since he was a child, but now his uncle and grandmother have entered the palace few times, and Erchen is busy studying with the young master and young master, but he rarely has time to gossip with his uncle and grandmother. It's rare to meet, and I hope to say a few more words. ”

Meng Zhiniang raised her eyes, and a dark color flashed under her eyes: "Is this really the case?" ”

The prince raised his eyes, and there was only a frank look in his clear eyes: "Really! ”

Meng Zhiniang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and her tone softened slightly: "You have to remember that you are the prince of Tianwu!" As a prince, you should be able to distinguish what you should do and what you should not do. In a high position, sometimes some things are not what you want, but for the sake of the country, even for the monarch, you need to make certain sacrifices. ”

The prince looked at her fixedly, and replied seriously: "Erchen thinks that as a monarch, he must first distinguish between right and wrong, and be loyal to the ministers and far from the villain. All over the world, everyone knows that the god of war is loyal. One person is not trustworthy if he says he is a loyal minister, and ten thousand people may be skeptical if he says he is a loyal minister. But if the whole world recognizes his loyalty, Erchen thinks that the god of war is loyal! Therefore, Erchen thinks that if even such loyal ministers can be sacrificed, then how can the people of the world trust? ”

Seeing that Meng Zhiniang was silent, the prince said again: "The teacher once said that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat!" Erchen deeply thinks so, if the people are cold and lose the hearts of the people, how can they win it back? ”

The prince's words were extremely plain, and he almost said directly that he knew Emperor Kang Xuan's thoughts, and his attitude was completely different from the other party, so he just wanted to help Mu Zhanbei and Yin Sangluo.

Meng Zhiniang's eyes were slightly gloomy, and she seemed to have a touch of annoyance. But in the end, this anger eased, Meng Zhiniang was silent for a moment, just closed her eyes, waved her hand and said: "The palace is tired, the prince should retreat first!" ”

The prince pursed his lips, and then said, "The son of the minister retires!" ”

When he got out of Yonghe Palace, the little eunuch who followed the prince comforted him: "Your Highness, Niangniang is just worried about you, don't take it to heart." ”

The prince only glanced at him coldly, and the chill in his eyes startled the little eunuch, and he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.

The prince retracted his gaze, thinking coldly that it was time for him to clear up the people around him. It was not the first time that he and the queen had dealt with each other so coldly, and the queen mother, who was only full of love for him, gradually changed. Maybe he himself has changed, so the mother and son, who had a very good relationship at the beginning, began to have their own ideas. And this idea is just the opposite of the other party's.

The queen mother hopes that he will learn to be an excellent prince, as a prince, he does not need to be soft on what he can sacrifice or use.

And under the guidance of his teachers, he hopes to distinguish loyalty and traitor in his own way, instead of deliberately flaunting the so-called way of being a king, and he can do those things that hurt nature and reason regardless of the way he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor.

If he really did that, even if he ascended the throne, how long would he be able to sit firmly?

He knew that the queen mother felt disobedient, and he also felt that the queen mother had changed. He remembered what kind of person the former imperial grandmother was, and he also knew that such a person was hated by the queen mother. And he felt that the queen mother might not have noticed that she herself was gradually developing in that direction.

He stopped, looked back at the Yonghe Palace that was already behind him, and looked further, in the distance, it seemed that he could see the heaven and earth beyond the high city walls, and his gaze gradually became firm.

He's not wrong!
