Chapter Twenty-Six: The Prince

"Get up, this is the ninth brother you haven't met. Now I canonized him as the king of Hejian County, and rewarded him with the vine king's mansion where you just became the sixth brother of the domain. You go to see if there is anything that needs to be added in the afternoon, and urge the Ministry of Works, Zongzheng Temple, and the Imperial Superintendent to do it. If you need anything, you don't need to report it separately, just go to the inner treasury and get it. ”

"You, the ninth brother, have lived in Tingxue Xuan with Concubine Jing for many years, and you have never seen the outside world. You are his brother and his king. He lives outside, and you, the eldest brother, have to help him a little more. When the crown prince got up, the emperor pointed to Huang Qiong on the side.

"The sons respect the holy will of their father. Please rest assured that Erchen is the elder brother of the ninth brother and will definitely take care of the ninth brother. After that, the prince turned around, although he didn't know what he thought in his heart, but there was a surprised expression on his face: "You are the ninth brother of Concubine Jing, and you are really a talent." ”

Huang Qiong saw the prince looking at him, and hurriedly bowed his head and said goodbye: "My brother has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, please say hello to His Royal Highness the Prince." Although she felt a little uncomfortable with this guy's smile on his face, Huang Qiong obviously didn't want to find fault with this matter.

"You and I are biological brothers, why should we be so outside? I haven't had the chance to see each other before, but I didn't expect that today you and my brother will finally meet each other. Seeing Huang Qiong bending down to say goodbye, the prince hurriedly helped Huang Qiong up. It's just that although the words are extremely affectionate, the moment Huang Qiong raised his head, he saw a flash of sharpness in the prince's eyes.

Although the sharp light that flashed in the prince's eyes was only a flash, it was still keenly captured by Huang Qiong. Looking at the prince who pretended to be affectionate, recalling that he had just captured that silk mang, and remembering what Aunt Yao had before, Huang Qiong knew that her future life would not be too easy.

Back then, they had a few mothers, and they did not suffer less at the hands of their grandfathers. Although his mother managed to save their lives, giving them their status today, and giving him the status of a prince. But I'm afraid this guy has always hated the precarious years in the cold palace back then. Love the house and Wu, in the same way, hate the house is also the house.

Grandpa died early, and now the grave is already lush with vegetation, even if he hates it so much that he wants to crush his grandfather's bones and scatter ashes, it will have to wait until he ascends the throne. And the mother lives in Tingxue Xuan, and the gate is not out of the second door, and there is no purpose and no trespassing. Even if he is the crown prince, if you want to take revenge, you have to wait until he ascends the throne, otherwise there is no hope.

Over the years, although he is the crown prince above 10,000 people under one person, I am afraid that he has not forgotten the hatred accumulated at the beginning. In the case that the emperor Lao Tzu seems to be very healthy, and there is no way to take revenge for a while. Now that he is out of the palace, he doesn't even have a reliable person around him, and he is likely to become the target of his revenge.

However, although she was a little worried about becoming the target of revenge for the legendary small-bellied chicken intestine prince, Huang Qiong did not have the slightest cowardice in her heart. What is there to be afraid of him, it is true that he is the prince and the prince, but Huang Qiong does not believe that among his other brothers, none of them are worried about the position of the prince.

The enemy of the enemy, that is the friend. There is only one position for the prince, but his emperor Lao Tzu is not only his son. He is ranked ninth, not counting the prince who is younger than him, and there are seven older than him. Even the other three kings born to the prince's mother, they may not be unconcerned, and even more ruthless.

Several sons of Emperor Wen of Sui were all born to one mother, are you dead and alive if you don't fight? The crown prince of Tang Taizong and the king of Wei are not the same as the sons of the eldest grandson empress, don't they fight like black-eyed chickens? In front of the throne, there has always been no brotherly affection. All mothers and compatriots are fighting so fiercely, not to mention that your brother has a large number of half-brothers.

As long as you make good use of the contradictions between your brothers and be more wary of this guy, there shouldn't be much of a problem. If you force Lao Tzu to be in a hurry, it's a big deal that this bullshit county king won't do it, and he will go into the East Palace in the middle of the night that day, so that you can finish the game completely. Your rice bucket guards really can't stop Lao Tzu.

Huang Qiong, who had settled down, was also in the mood to make peace with the prince at this time: "The younger brother has thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, and in the future, the younger brother will definitely take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the head of everything." If the younger brother has something he doesn't understand in the future, he also asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give advice. ”

"What the ninth brother said, you and I are flesh and blood compatriots, aren't you seeing the outside world when you say this? The ninth brother can rest assured, for the elder brother, he will take care of the ninth brother's Hejian County Royal Mansion to the satisfaction of the ninth brother. Also, in the future, I will ask the ninth brother not to call the prince and the prince, which is for the ministers. You and my brother, just call me big brother. ”

When he said this, the prince dragged Huang Qiong's hand to show extreme affection, and the smile on his face never decreased by half a point. Except for the words Hejian County Palace, the voice is slightly heavier, and the rest of the performances are all intimate. In order to deliberately create a scene of brotherly affection in front of the emperor.

Huang Qiong looked at the hand held by the prince, but at this moment, he remembered that when he left the palace a few years ago, when he had a dispute with the little marquis of the Wuchang Marquis Mansion, the prince that his dog leg had inadvertently mentioned had a habit of dividing peach and broken sleeves in some aspects.

Huang Qiong, who couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, hurriedly got rid of the prince without a trace and took his hand tightly and said: "The prince Yu is naturally the eldest brother of his younger brother, but Yu Gong is the prince of the world, and he has the righteousness of a monarch and a minister with his younger brother. The king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the minister can't, and he doesn't dare to go beyond the slightest. ”

"Yes, you have this idea, and I'm glad you did. You can put yourself in the right position and prove that your book is not in vain. But in the future, you will have a good relationship with the crown prince and all the brothers in Beijing. Don't be like your mother and be cold to everyone, it's not good for your future. The emperor was quite satisfied with Huang Qiong's answer.

It's just that the speaker doesn't know whether he wants it or not, but the listener definitely has the intention. The emperor's words were originally to ask Huang Qiong not to learn from his mother, who seemed to be withdrawn from him, and to communicate and interact more with people, especially with his brothers. But when it came to the prince's ears, it was quite harsh. After hearing this, the prince's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although his frowning movement was very light and was not discovered by the emperor, it fell into the eyes of Huang Qiong, who had been secretly observing him. Seeing the prince's frowning eyebrows, Huang Qiong knew that the emperor's words might have made the prince's heart uncomfortable.

"The future is not good," what is the future? According to the ancestral system of the Great Qi, the prince must be a vassal at the age of twenty-one, and he must not leave the domain for a hundred miles without a holy decree. To put it bluntly, it is to enclose these princes who have no chance to inherit the throne in a high-level prison. In addition to being rice worms and trying to accumulate some more family resources for their descendants, what future do these princes have?

Not only did he have no freedom, but he also had to worry about the future emperor who had long looked down on him unpleasantly, and found an excuse to cut the feudal domain and take away his title. This kind of life is what those princes call the future. If it is not good in the future, how good will it be in the future?

Whether the emperor's words were unintentional, or whether there was something else in them, there was always a kind of emperor who didn't know how much provocative Huang Qiong didn't know. But now he knows very well that this prince wants to be crooked.

But the prince is the prince after all, and the prince for so many years is now in the present, and it is not known how much he has learned the way to govern the country for the time being, but this city is still quite deep. The hesitation on his face only flashed, and then quickly turned to normal: "The ninth brother is really worthy of being taught by Concubine Jing herself, and he understands etiquette and etiquette. ”

"Since the ninth brother insists, then in this way, in the future, in front of the court or other brothers, you call me the prince. In private, you and I call each other brothers. In this way, it will not only round the love between you and my brothers, but also round the righteousness of your monarchs and ministers. After that, he rejected Huang Qiong's words and said: "It's decided, and the ninth brother won't argue." ”

After the prince made this decision, he grabbed Huang Qiong's hand again, but turned to the emperor and said: "Father, since it has been decided, it is up to Erchen to handle the affairs of the Ninth Brother's mansion, then Erchen will take the Ninth Brother to see his future mansion and see if the Ninth Brother is dissatisfied with anything, so that he can be reformed as soon as possible." I wonder if my father has any other instructions? ”

When the emperor saw that the crown prince was so decent, he nodded and said, "I am very relieved that you can treat your brother so leniently. In that case, go ahead, I don't have anything to do here. If you need anything, just go to the inner library and get it. In addition, your ninth brother likes to read, so you prepare more books for him. ”

When the prince saw his father nodding and agreeing to release him, he and Huang Qiong withdrew from Wende Palace. After coming out, for the prince's invitation again, Huang Qiong looked at the sky and saw that it was almost noon. A morning of face-to-face saints, although that person is his biological father in this life, it also makes him a little tired, and he really doesn't want to go down with this prince.

He bowed his hand to the prince and said: "His Royal Highness the prince, the matter of the courtier's brother being crowned king has not yet been told to his mother." The younger brother has been out for most of the day. Presumably, my mother must have been worried, too. The younger brother wants to go back now to tell his mother about this happy event, and let his mother feel the grace of heaven. What's more, after the younger brother left the palace, it was not so convenient to go back to the palace to visit his mother. ”

"Before leaving the palace, the younger brother wanted to spend as much time with his mother as possible. As for the mansion, the younger brother is used to it casually, and there is nothing to be picky about. Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally supervised the transformation, and the younger brother was already grateful, what else would there be dissatisfaction with? ”

"Oh, that's fine. In this way, you will go back and tell Concubine Jing about this matter today. When you move, the elder brother must come to greet the ninth brother in person. Maybe he was in a hurry to go back and figure out how to deal with Huang Qiong, but after hearing Huang Qiong refuse his invitation, the prince didn't insist, arched his hand and left in a hurry.

Although he was a little disdainful of this prince in his heart, Huang Qiong's superficial work was still satisfied. After the prince said goodbye, he kept putting on a respectful appearance, and saw the prince's back disappear completely, before turning his head and preparing to return to Tingxue Xuan, to tell his mother about the things that happened during today's face.
