Chapter 239: Terrifyingly clever
It seemed that the performance was finally a little tired, and the emperor stopped at this time, and glanced at the six princes with his eyes raised.
"Qing'er, sit down and talk." Perhaps the attitude and performance of the six princes at this hour made the emperor very satisfied, so he would no longer deliberately use psychological strategies to pinch this son.
Seeing this, the sixth prince hurriedly thanked him, and did not take the matter of standing for nearly an hour before as a thing, and did not feel tired at all after sitting down.
In addition to the due courtesies and responses, the six princes will never say anything at will from beginning to end, and they will always look like they are listening to the teachings at any time.
The emperor has never been a person who is so easily confused by appearance, nor is he a person who is so easy to believe in people, but from childhood to adulthood, no matter when, on what occasion and under what circumstances, he has seen the words of such a son, so over time, even if the emperor is suspicious, he has to believe that six or seven points This is the nature of the six princes.
In addition to the fact that the biological mother of the sixth prince was low and died early, and there was no maternal power at all, the prince's heartfelt deference to him was also one of the reasons why the emperor valued the six princes more and more.
But now, when the crown prince is about to be deposed, and he doesn't plan to announce the new crown prince so soon, the emperor naturally can't really be absolutely at ease with the six princes, even if he has tried many times before.
"Qing'er, do you still want to marry Han Jiangxue as the princess now?" After a while, the emperor didn't think about it anymore, and instead directly asked the six princes such a seemingly completely irrelevant question.
The sixth prince was also slightly stunned in his heart. I don't know why my father asked about this all of a sudden.
It's just that the habits he has developed over the years have made him not have the slightest flaw, and the corners of his mouth have risen slightly. With a smile that seemed to be unconsciously revealed, he quickly said: "Back to my father, the son has not changed his original intention. ”
In a word, he expressed his intentions simply and clearly but did not ask too much, and the six princes were much better at controlling the emperor's temperament than any prince in the palace, and even better than anyone else.
Hearing the reply of the sixth prince, and seeing the expression of his son when he answered, the emperor would not only blame himself for the prince for being so fond of the bad girl of the Han family. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said, "That's it, I didn't expect that there was such an infatuation in my emperor!" ”
It doesn't sound like a real compliment. However, he did not show any displeasure, and the emperor could never easily understand what he said, just like this sentence.
Seeing this, the six princes didn't explain much. just hurriedly said: "Let my father laugh." The retainer is guilty. ”
"That's it, I'm just a joke, what's not guilty. I am your father, and I was also young, how can I not understand what my son is thinking? ”
With a call to his son, the emperor seemed to be gradually taking the initiative to shorten the distance between the two, in addition to the monarch and ministers, he deliberately put out the family card that they were still father and son.
"Thank you, Father!" The Six Princes still didn't have much to say. But his expression couldn't help but be a little moved, and the kind of expression that came from the heart but wanted to be extremely restrained after all, there was still some expression that was not completely restrained by him.
The Emperor nodded slightly. Naturally, he was extremely satisfied with the gratitude of the six princes.
After a while, he suddenly sighed, his expression was much more serious, and he asked the sixth prince very solemnly: "Qing'er, I have a problem in my heart, I can't make a choice, I want to hear what you have to say." ”
"Being able to share the worries of my father is the greatest happiness of my son, and my son will definitely know everything and say everything!" The sixth prince immediately looked at the emperor and replied very seriously.
In this way, the emperor did not make any other preparations, and asked directly: "I want to make you the crown prince, but if I make you the crown prince, I will never allow you to marry the daughter of the Han family as the concubine, but if I agree with you to marry the daughter of the Han family, I will never make you the prince!" Tell me, what should I do? ”
This sudden inquiry suddenly pushed the matter into an unprecedented sharp contradiction, and the emperor even directly mentioned the matter of intentionally wanting to make the sixth prince the crown prince, if it was replaced by someone else, I am afraid that this would have already been confused by the words heard and dizzy and did not know the direction.
The throne, for the princes who were born in the royal family and are closer than anyone else, what does that temptation mean, and how many people can resist that temptation?
Especially in a situation like the Six Princes, in addition to his own background is not as good as other princes, all other aspects of his abilities are far ahead, imagine who can really erase the passion for the throne in the depths of his heart?
Then, after all, the six princes are the six princes, not some ordinary people on the side, after hearing the emperor's words, not only did they not have the slightest ecstasy and fantasy in their hearts, but they even immediately perceived an unparalleled danger.
Throne? To him? Want to make him the crown prince?
If he didn't really know the emperor completely clearly, knew more than anyone else, and knew that there was absolutely no such possibility, maybe he would have been fascinated by that great temptation for a while.
As before, this old guy is just testing him, if he really dares to say that he can give up marrying the daughter of the Han family, what awaits him is definitely not the so-called prince's position, but pulling over to be with the prince!
Of course, or he hasn't been treated like the crown prince yet, after all, he doesn't have any maternal clan that can save his life!
Extremely hatred instantly surged in his heart, in the eyes of his so-called father, he was not a son at all, he was nothing more than a dog! If you are obedient, you can touch it twice once in a while, and have fun, if you are disobedient or have the slightest rebellion, then he will end up like a dead dog!
Since he was a child, he has always known that being born in the emperor's family is the biggest and unchangeable sorrow in his life, there is no family affection here, there is only conspiracy, exploitation, ruthlessness and shamelessness!
If one day, he can truly control everything, then the first thing he has to do is to destroy this so-called father emperor with his own hands!
However, even if countless thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant, mixed with more and more complicated hatred and emotions, the six princes did not show the slightest hint, his forbearance and disguise have been cultivated to the extreme in the palace for twenty years, otherwise it would have been impossible to live alone until now.
"Father, why bother with this!" He smiled slightly, but finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a much lighter expression, as if he thought it was difficult at first, and then he realized that it was not difficult for him at all.
"Erchen thanks his father's cultivation heart, it's just that Erchen has self-knowledge, and it's barely okay to do some practical things for his father's worries, but if he really makes Erchen the prince, he will become a wise son of heaven like his father, and Erchen really can't do a good job!"
The sixth prince said very sincerely: "Erchen...... Erchen is also not very good, that is, he is too childlike. It doesn't matter much if it is put on an ordinary prince, it is nothing more than an innocuous personal temperament, but if it is put on such an important identity, it is really the most terrible flaw. Therefore, the sons and daughters never dared to joke about the ancestors' country, and they were not competent at all, so they asked their father to find another really suitable candidate. ”
"In the future, no matter who my father wants to put in the hands of our ancestors, my sons will definitely serve loyally and repay my father's respect and appreciation!"
When the last sentence came out, the calmness and sincerity of the six princes even the emperor was extremely moved, and he never thought that he had set up a special dilemma, and his good son didn't think much about it at all.
However, even if the emperor already believed in the sixth prince who subconsciously had such a true reaction in his heart, he still did not stop asking: "Qing'er, you have to think clearly, I am not joking with you!" Among so many princes of mine, you are extremely outstanding in terms of ability and personality, and I have high hopes for you! As for the question of the relationship between children and daughters, it is indeed not a good thing for a good king, but since you can understand your own shortcomings, why not change them? ”
"Father, please forgive your son!" The sixth prince said with a little emotion: "Erchen thinks that his greatest advantage is actually to be able to truly recognize his strengths and weaknesses. For some people, some things are innate, and they can't be changed if they want to. Moreover, Erchen has always thought that although the Son of Heaven is dazzling and dazzling, he is the most noble and extraordinary person in the world, but ......"
"But as the Son of Heaven, how many unknown difficulties and labors do you have to bear? Just like his father, he is diligent and diligent for the country and the people, and he really can't rest for a few days all year round, and he has to work much harder than anyone in the world, but how many people can see this kind of hardship, and how many people can understand it? ”
The sixth prince said a little moved, and his eyes looking at the emperor were also a little moist at that moment, as if he really understood the difficulty of his father, understood and felt distressed.
"So, please allow your son to be selfish, he just wants to be an ordinary prince, and he can work hard to take on all kinds of specific things for the Son of Heaven, but he really can't shoulder such a big responsibility and responsibility!"
The six princes said directly in one go: "What's more, the son still wants to marry Han Jiangxue, the daughter of the Han family, as the concubine, please forgive your father, and ask your father to fulfill it!" (To be continued......)
