Chapter 285: King Wei (1)
Chen Yuanzhao seems to have a natural temperament that regards embarrassment as nothing, and he did not kneel down and cry in a fake manner, nor did he pounce on the edge of the dragon collapse to show filial piety.
Of course, with the King of Wei and the King of Chu here, it is not his turn to perform.
Chen Yuanzhao stood aside so quietly.
It wasn't until the emperor cried in a hoarse voice that Chen Yuanzhao personally brought a cup of hot tea to the side of the dragon: "Please drink some tea to moisten your throat." ”
The sadness and pain in my heart were vented a lot because of this painful cry. His throat was dry and uncomfortable, and this cup of hot tea was exactly what the emperor needed most. The emperor didn't have the strength to stretch out his hand, so he naturally ordered: "You serve me to drink tea." ”
Chen Yuanzhao answered and helped the emperor to sit up.
The emperor stopped crying, and the king of Wei and the king of Chu couldn't cry anymore, so they wiped their tears with their sleeves and stood up straight. King Wei took the initiative to say: "Yuan Zhao, give me the teacup, I will serve my father to drink tea." ”
Chen Yuanzhao answered quietly, handed the teacup to King Wei, and then took a few steps back.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty either privately defected to the King of Qin, or were busy currying favor with the crown prince, and the King of Wei, who had always been low-key, had almost no sense of existence.
However, Chen Yuanzhao never underestimated King Wei.
In terms of scheming and means, King Wei did not lose to King Qin at all, and even a little more forbearance.
If it weren't for the fact that King Wei suffered from leg disease and lost a lot of natural conditions, he would have overpowered King Qin a long time ago. It's a pity that no matter how much the emperor pities King Wei, he will not let a lame son be the crown prince. From this point of view, the king of Wei probably has no chance of being on the throne.
However, King Wei is not without opportunities.
The eldest prince died. The real culprit behind the assassination of the crown prince is actually the emperor's favorite King Qin, and the emperor who learns the truth must be a thunderous anger and will never let go of King Qin. In such a situation, only the kings of Wei and Chu were left as the princes.
The king of Chu was young and frail. It's not much better than King Wei.
As long as the King of Wei grasps the opportunity and pleases the emperor, he may be able to overpower the King of Chu. Therefore, in the past two months, King Wei, who rarely shows up, has been going to court day by day, behaving decently everywhere, and really won a lot of favor from the emperor.
Of course. The King of Wei also prepared a lot of means in secret, ready to deal with the King of Chu. These secrets, King Wei would not easily tell Chen Yuanzhao
The emperor is a son of heaven in the end. The concentration of the mind is far better than that of ordinary people.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, the emperor's angry mood calmed down a little.
King Wei had been paying close attention to the changes in the emperor's expression, and when he saw this, he said softly: "My father has not eaten today, so my son ordered the imperial dining room to boil some porridge." ”
How could the emperor be in the mood to eat. Reluctantly cheered up and said, "You have a heart." But. It's hard to swallow right now. ”
King Wei's performance today is full of a filial son. Hearing this, he choked up and said: "The eldest brother was assassinated, the third brother was seriously injured and now his life and death are uncertain, and the situation in Shandong is undecided, all of which is up to the emperor to decide." My father didn't cherish his dragon body, but he didn't cherish the people of the Great Yan River. The son begged his father to cheer up and not be depressed anymore. ”
The tone reveals sincere filial piety.
When the emperor listened, he was immediately moved. Looking at King Wei's gaze, he softened more and more: "I usually take care of you the least, but I didn't expect you to be so filial and considerate." That's it. I'll listen to you for once. Go and tell the royal dining room to prepare your meal. ”
King Wei immediately responded, got up in person, and went out to give an order.
The emperor looked at the king of Chu again.
The king of Chu was born weak, and although he was carefully raised, he was weaker than an ordinary young man. I have been kneeling and crying for a long time today, my eyes are already red and swollen, and my complexion is not very good-looking, and I look a little shaky.
A touch of pity flashed in the emperor's eyes: "You are weak, you can't afford to toss, go back and rest first!" Just have your second brother here. ”
The king of Chu refused to retreat, and said with a glint in his eyes: "My father is like this, and only when my son guards my father's heart can I be sure." ”
Looking at the young son of pure filial piety, the emperor's heart swelled with warmth: "I know that you are filial, don't worry, I will not fall down." I also have to order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, find out the murderer of your brother, and solve the hatred in my heart with a thousand cuts. ”
The last sentence, the gnashing of teeth, is chilling.
The king of Chu wanted to say anything more, and the king of Wei, who had already turned around, said gently: "Fifth brother, I am a few years older than you, and I will guard my father here today." Don't leave the palace, hurry up and go to Yanfu Palace to see the queen mother. I heard that the queen mother was unconscious and didn't wake up yet, so you should guard the queen mother and comfort her well, so as not to make the queen too sad. ”
The king of Chu had no choice but to respond and withdraw from the palace.
The moment he stepped out of the Chongzheng Palace, King Chu's expression instantly became gloomy. Qingxiu's weak face was faintly distorted. If anyone sees the King of Chu at this time, they will definitely shudder.
However, this change is only a short moment.
Soon, the king of Chu returned to normal and went to Yanfu Palace with red and swollen eyes
After the king of Chu left, the king of Wei took over all the things of close service and personally fed the emperor a bowl of porridge.
The warm porridge went down to the stomach, and the body had more heat, and the cold and weak hands and feet also had some strength. The emperor reluctantly cheered up and said: "Shandong is far away from the capital, and it is inconvenient to transmit news, and I don't know what the situation is over there now." ”
The death of the crown prince is certain. I don't know how injured King Qin is!
King Wei seemed to see the emperor's thoughts, and said in a low voice of relief: "The third brother is just injured, it should be fine, and I ask my father to be relieved." ”
The emperor was silent for a moment before he said: "The murderer who killed the prince must still be in Shandong, and I will send people to Shandong to find out all these people." ”
King Wei didn't want to take the initiative to ask: "Erchen is willing to go to Shandong to find out the real culprit behind the scenes." ”
For such an important matter, the emperor was reluctant to hand it over to any courtier, and wanted to send his son there. However, the most preferred candidate in the emperor's heart is obviously not King Wei
The emperor didn't say yes, and looked up at Chen Yuanzhao.
Chen Yuanzhao took a step forward, and his voice was condensed: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is inconvenient to walk, and it is not suitable for long journeys. What's more, the civil turmoil in Shandong has not been settled, and this trip is very dangerous. Let's let the ministers lead the Divine Guards! ”
It is inconvenient to walk, and it is not suitable for long walks!
Hearing these words, a trace of gloom quickly flashed in King Wei's eyes.
The hateful leg disease made him suffer from the snub of his father in more than 20 years of life. Even if he wanted to go to Shandong, his father was unwilling. handed over such an important matter to Chen Yuanzhao
Sure enough, the emperor thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, I only give you three days to raise and prepare." There was not a single one left in the barracks, and all of them went to battle. (To be continued......)
