Chapter 167: The Middle Palace

It's just that when the emperor told Huang Qiong to learn to be patient, he didn't find that he also exposed some small emotions. The emperor who obviously still remembers what happened to him when he was young. When educating Huang Qiong, she suffered a lot for herself and never enjoyed a day of happiness, and she was a grandmother.

On the contrary, he was never called his biological father, and Emperor Sejong, who was the shadow maker of his childhood, was his father. Even for his own son, the grandson of Emperor Sejong back then, he did not call even the emperor's grandfather. I'm afraid that Emperor Sejong, in the emperor's heart, felt the same as Huang Qiong when he first left the palace for his biological father.

On the surface, he seems to be very respectful, and Emperor Sejong is open-mouthed and closed-mouthed. But in fact, in my heart, I am afraid that I have never regarded him as my father. A sentence of Emperor Sejong invisibly opened the relationship between father and son directly far away. Although it is normal for the successor emperor to call himself his father's temple name as a sign of respect.

But between the two people who are talking right now, there is something abnormal. Calling one's predecessor by the temple name is normal if it is between the monarch and the minister. But in the dialogue between father and son, even if you don't call the first emperor or the imperial exam, you don't use your imperial grandfather, so calling your predecessors in front of your sons and nephews seems to be intimate and honorific. It's just a very official idiomatic name, which is very abnormal.

Of course, there will be no one who spends all day drinking for his own person. In violation of Emperor Taizong's regulations when he moved the capital, future generations can only use the existing palace as the imperial palace, and no other palace can be built. In the year of the great drought, the new palace was built, and the inhuman Emperor Sejong was entrusted with the auxiliary government, and he almost lost the country.

But more of them may still be lingering resentment towards those old accounts of the year. And when talking about Emperor Liezong back then, that is, the crown prince who had been bullying him, his words were not very comfortable. It is clear that the emperor has not forgotten the old days.

Maybe in his heart, his biological father, Emperor Sejong, did not support him to ascend to the throne, and Huang Qiong's grandfather was more worthy of respect. After all, if there is no grandfather Huang Qiong, one emperor will be abolished and one emperor will be established. He also killed almost all of the descendants of Emperor Sejong, and it was not his turn to sit on the throne.

It's just that for himself, the emperor Lao Tzu, some of the resentment that was somewhat exposed in his tone was of course heard by Huang Qiong's reaction ability. It's just that although I heard it, I dared to say it there. Besides, the emperor has been made like a god in self-propaganda since ancient times. The son of heaven, the divine right of kings has been there since ancient times.

But Huang Qiong also knows that in fact, the emperor is also a human being, and he also has feelings, his own joys, sorrows, and seven emotions and six desires. What's more, the shadow of childhood is hard for anyone to forget. And he, the emperor Lao Tzu, is the kind of person who has a very good memory. It's normal to have grievances, but it's not normal to have grievances.

At this time, the emperor, compared with the high in the past, has more of an ordinary person's fireworks. Of course, the discussion in her heart is in her heart, but for the emperor's words, Huang Qiong still routinely does not answer and does not express her position. Despite the meaning of the emperor's words, Huang Qiong had already understood. But he knew that it was not yet time for him to answer.

Seeing that Huang Qiong heard himself mention the King of Huaiyang, there was no expression on his face, as if he was talking about someone who had nothing to do with him, but the emperor frowned slightly without a trace. Although he knew that his son must have understood his words by now. But he couldn't figure out what his son thought of what he meant by his words.

The emperor guessed correctly, the true meaning of his words. Although Huang Qiong didn't figure out his true intentions for a while, there was one thing that Huang Qiong understood. The emperor told Huang Qiong from the side that he had turned around in a big circle. Although the assassination cannot be said to be undone, it is not the time to lift the lid, and what I have to do now is to be patient.

In these words, the emperor told Huang Qiong almost bluntly that what he experienced back then was far more difficult than what Huang Qiong is experiencing now. He was able to endure it back then, so why can't you endure it? The old man was telling Huang Qiong not to clash with the prince at this time. Sometimes when it's time to back down, it's time to take a step back.

And I suppressed this matter for the time being, not to protect anyone, but for a reason. The emperor's words made Huang Qiong feel that the emperor believed that his assassination had something to do with several conflicts with the crown prince. It's just that these words are the emperor's sincere words, or is he appeasing himself, but Huang Qiong is a little confused.

looked at Huang Qiong, who was silent and didn't speak, although he didn't figure out Huang Qiong's true thoughts for a while. But the emperor understood that his son, at least partially, listened to his words. For Huang Qiong's performance, the emperor who was a little relieved was a little let go today.

"You have a good character and a very smart person, but you have two weaknesses that are obvious and easy for your opponents to take advantage of. One is that your personality is sometimes more extreme, and you are easy to drill into trouble. Your nose cancer seems to be very smooth on the surface, but in fact, it is very principled, and there is a lot of temperament in your bones that would rather bend than bend. This is your strength, but it is also your greatest weakness. ”

"You are still young, and there is still a long way to go. In the future, no matter what happens, I hope that you must first be calm and not be swayed by your emotions. I want you to learn how to hide your emotions in front of the more powerful your opponents. You must not put yourself in danger because of the momentary pleasure. ”

"Two, it's that you're too childlike. Of course, I'm not saying you're completely wrong, I was the same when I was your age. But this is not a disadvantage in ordinary people's homes, but as a prince, it is very emotional everywhere. I don't want to hear or see anything about you being corrupted because of men and women. ”

"I am telling you this today because I don't want you to do anything irreparable because of a momentary impulse in the future, and you should not indulge too much in the love of your children. You are a prince, not one of those literati who is disease-free at every turn**, and who is full of wind and snow. As a prince, you must not only have the dignity of a prince, but also have the responsibility of heaven. ”

"When you go back to-morrow, you will have a good taste of my words, which will be of great benefit to you in your future actions. The changes that have taken place in the DPRK during this period of time, I don't want to mention that you also know. I need a good helper now, not a son who has been devastated by some blows. The emperor's words seemed to be reprimanding Huang Qiong, but there was an unconcealed appreciation in his tone.

"As for my safety, you don't need to worry about it, I know it. I don't believe in someone, I can really turn the sky upside down. My Great Qi Dynasty is not the Southern Dynasty, and I am not Emperor Wen of Song. If I don't even have this ability, how can I rule this world for more than ten years? ”

"I heard that the people who saved you in the first place are now in your house. In this way, you report their identities, and if you are willing to stay, I have them make up for the identity of a guard. These people saved my son, and I naturally did not hesitate to reward him. Even ordinary people know that the favor of others should be repaid with a spring. Could it be that the Heavenly Family does not know this truth? ”

Although the emperor was very relieved about Huang Qiong's concern for his safety, he didn't take it too seriously. Although the current situation is somewhat unexpected to him. But this king of a country is still quite confident in himself. Thinking that it was unexpected does not mean that the situation has really developed out of control, at least the overall situation is still in your control.

"Sons should keep in mind the teachings of their father, and they must think twice about their actions in the future. I will definitely be calm when I encounter something, and I will never be impulsive. But Erchen still hopes that his father can take care of the precautions around him. You are the king of a country, and your safety is related to the aspirations of the people of the world. It is more related to the safety of the world. ”

"Father, with your own life experience, you ask your sons to think twice about everything. But in this matter, you should also set an example for your sons and other brothers. Now that the brothers have suffered an accident, who can guarantee that the person will not kill him? Dare to openly kill the king? ”

"Father, the son and the minister only have two long-cherished wishes. I hope that the world will always enjoy peace, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. The second is to hope that parents will live a long and healthy life. The father is a prince to his sons, but he is also a father. Your safety is not only related to the safety of the world, but also the wish of your sons. The son pleaded with his father and the emperor to strengthen his precautions. ”

Huang Qiong listened to the emperor's lesson. He understood that this was a father's admonition to his adult son. Although the emperor's father, after recognizing himself, has been trying to play the role of a strict father. But for Huang Qiong, who has become an adult, his strict father appeared too late.

Huang Qiong has always been unimpressed by his past beatings. But today's words, whether Huang Qiong agrees with it or not, there is a trace of emotion in her heart. And this kind of emotion also comes from today's almost open and honest conversation. As the emperor's father, even if he has another selfishness, it is enough for a son.

Before, even if he knew that the emperor had guarded his mansion all night after his assassination, Huang Qiong did not feel like today. From today's almost heart-to-heart conversation of the emperor, Huang Qiong really accepted herself, the emperor's father, from the emotional top.

For the emperor's teachings today, Huang Qiong accepted it sincerely for the first time. And seeing Huang Qiong's teachable appearance, the very satisfied emperor was about to say something more. His conversation was interrupted by a stumbling eunuch. The eunuch who ran over, Huang Qiong had seen it from the emperor and knew that it was the eunuch in charge of the queen's bedroom.

Seeing this eunuch running over with a panicked look, the emperor who told the guards and eunuchs below not to disturb him was a little displeased. But thinking of the identity of this eunuch, looking at the panicked expression on this eunuch's face, the emperor and Huang Qiong couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, and they both felt that something was going to happen.

Sure enough, when this eunuch saw the emperor, he didn't care about looking at the emperor's somewhat blue face, and knelt down without saying a word, crying: "Your Majesty, the queen has just died." "The emperor, who has been hit several times in the past few days, and the pain of losing his three sons has not passed, heard the news.

If it weren't for Huang Qiong, who was beside her, she almost sat down on the ground. The emperor, who was hit hard by this unfortunate news again, grabbed Huang Qiong's hand and didn't let go for a long time. Huang Qiong could almost hear the emperor clenching his hand with a clattering sound.
