Chapter 433: The Way of the King
For the old man's request, Huang Qiong dared to refuse again. He carefully supported the emperor and came to the imperial garden that had just left. Looking at the plum blossoms in full bloom in the garden, when I thought of it, I would hold Situ Zhaoshuang in my arms, and even almost kissed the sky. Huang Qiong's old face is now extremely thick, and he can't help but blush slightly.
It's just that although Huang Qiong's blush was only for a moment, it was also keenly noticed by the emperor who had been secretly observing him. Although it is not clear why Huang Qiong blushed, he has not forgotten who Huang Qiong was the emperor with in the imperial garden before. After a little pondering, it became clear that in front of outsiders, and even in front of himself as a father, he rarely showed emotions and the reason why his son blushed.
However, although the emperor noticed Huang Qiong's abnormality, he didn't point it out, but he was very patient and gently patted Huang Qiong's hand, which was a little distracted. And Huang Qiong, who was slapped by the emperor like this, reacted from his distraction, and was somewhat embarrassed to explain, but found that he didn't know how to say it.
Looking at Huang Qiong, who looked a little embarrassed, the emperor waved his hand to stop him from explaining his actions, and then smiled slightly: "Your kid's mood is not right today." Didn't you think about how to get rid of this family business all day long? Why did you change your mind after a trip to the Imperial Garden with that county lord? Do you regret seeing people who are beautiful and regretting the beginning? ”
Listening to the emperor's extremely rare ridicule of himself, Huang Qiong scratched his head and said, "It's not that I regret it or not." The king is the minister, the father is the son, you are the king of the son, and the father of the son. You've already decided on this family business, and it's useless for your sons to oppose it, right? As for whether the county lord is beautiful or not, it is the same for Erchen, but Erchen is not anyway? ”
Originally, Huang Qiong wanted to say that she was not that kind of lustful person, but when she thought of the group of warblers and Yanyan at home, she couldn't say this sentence anymore anyway. There are a lot of famous and unfamous people around me now, and there are a lot of people who can be exposed and those who can't. If you want to say that you are not lustful, let alone yourself as the emperor Laozi, it is estimated that no one will believe it even if it is all over the capital.
Huang Qiong, these ducks are purely typical in the pot, if the meat is rotten and the mouth is not rotten, the emperor did not refute him after hearing it, but smiled slightly: "If you don't say it, if you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, why is there so much nonsense?" I also came here when I was young, and although I didn't get to the point where you were in the house, I also know that people are not romantic teenagers. ”
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with liking beautiful women. Among the emperors of ancient times, there are those so-called kings of the Holy Ming, but in fact, how many are not lustful? Let's not talk about the first emperor, it is the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, wouldn't it be better to have no meat for three days than without a woman for a day? Emperor Guangwu of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, when he was young, also expressed the emotion of marrying a wife and marrying Yin Lihua? ”
"Is it Tang Taizong, whom I praise the most, who not only accepted the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, but also included his younger brother and daughter-in-law in the palace? So I don't think there's anything wrong with your preference for beauty. But one thing you have to remember is that everything must have a degree, even if you are liking things, you must control yourself when you need it, and you must not indulge in it, let alone become a weakness that others control. ”
"Especially as an emperor, you should pay attention to this. As for the love of children, it is not a big deal for ordinary people. But for an emperor, that is the most fatal weakness, even more dangerous than the covetousness of beauty. You must remember these words of mine, those who have achieved great things must not fall into the gentle country. ”
Knowing that this was the old man teaching himself the way to be a king, Huang Qiong knew that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to refute anything, so he could only nod slightly. And seeing that Huang Qiong put on a teachable attitude, and obviously listened to his words, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. In the following conversation, Huang Qiong was instilled with a lot of ways to be a king.
Huang Qiong accompanied the emperor for a walk in the imperial garden, while constantly listening to the emperor's teachings. But they didn't know that not far from them, in the concubine's bedroom, which occupied the best position in the entire harem. On the top of a small two-story building that overlooks the entire Imperial Garden, there are two pairs of eyes mixed with five points of anger and five points of jealousy, looking at the father and son in the garden.
looked at Huang Qiong, who was holding the emperor and not talking to the emperor or something. Although I don't know what the two of them are talking about, they are peeping at King Song with their mother at the moment, and they gritted their teeth and said, "Mother, can we really recognize it like this?" Just let that scumbag climb on the head of our mother and son to be a blessing? Just watched him and became the son-in-law of the king of Guilin? ”
When he said this, King Song's teeth creaked and creaked, his eyes were red, and he almost went crazy with jealousy. And what makes him jealous is not only his father and brother who are now in the imperial garden, his father is kind and filial. There is also the hugging and hugging behavior that Situ Zhaoshuang and Huang Qiong made in the imperial garden before.
Originally, King Song knew that the emperor was going to Guangshou Hall today, after a banquet for the family of the king of Guilin. I thought of a way to get in, trying to work hard to get the favor of the beautiful woman. For him, what attracted him was the endless palace of Guilin County, which could give him the greatest help in competing for the position of prince. Situ Zhaoshuang's beauty also made him never forget.
He has lived for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a woman with both beauty and temperament. Although he was sarcastically choked by Situ Zhaoshuang last time, he was reprimanded by the emperor afterwards. But this King of Song is obviously still a little thief-minded. Especially when I think about it again, after becoming the son-in-law of the Guilin County Palace, I can't take care of the benefits I can get, even if it is a big humiliation.
Unexpectedly, before he could get close to Guangshou Palace, he was stopped by the guards and eunuchs. Just when he was a little discouraged and wanted to return, he happened to see Huang Qiong outside the gate of Guangshou Palace, who was getting off the sedan chair. didn't expect Huang Qiong to accompany him today, and after a little pondering, he immediately understood the reason why Huang Qiong came here today.
After coming to the conclusion that the emperor still wanted to give that cheap breed whom he had always looked down on, he almost didn't directly him off. When he ran to Concubine De's bedroom angrily, he asked his mother to find a way to let him enter the Guangshou Palace. But inadvertently, I saw Huang Qiong and Situ Zhaoshuang kissing in the imperial garden.
Seeing this scene that was enough to shock everyone's jaws, this King Song was almost so angry that he vomited blood. His hands were clenched into fists, and his palms were punctured regardless of his nails. There was only one thought in my mind: "Why? Why did that woman let herself suffer so much humiliation, and even disgraced in front of her father. Replaced by that lowly breed, but gentle became a little sheep. ”
And it was not until under the reprimand of Concubine De that he finally stabilized his mood, and King Song, who did not rush to the imperial garden to catch him on the spot, saw the scene in front of him again, and was even more angry. That is, young, if you change to an older age. With the pent-up anger in his heart at the moment, he may directly become angry and have a cerebral hemorrhage.
After listening to King Song's words, looking at the son who was full of jealousy at this time, his eyes were red as if he was bleeding, and Concubine De, who was also on fire in her eyes at this time, also gritted her teeth and said: "Admit it, why do you admit it?" As long as things are not to the last step, as long as that scumbag has not yet ascended to the throne, we will still have a chance to get it back. ”
"That scumbag, killed hundreds of officials and scholars in Zhengzhou in one go, and pushed himself to the opposite side of the entire civil service and the scholars. Don't underestimate those civil officials and scholars who don't have soldiers in their hands, although they don't have military power in their hands, they can hold the pen. Many times, the pen is the most ruthless to kill people. ”
"Now that your father is helping him suppress him, those civil officials and scholars have not made a difference. I don't believe that when he sits in that position and no one helps him suppress it, those officials will really serve such a person? As long as we can win over most of the officials in the DPRK and China, especially those important ministers, it is not certain who will be killed. What's more, don't forget his grandfather. ”
"Back then, the king of Huaiyang County, the blood of the clan was like a river. For this world clan, it is not too much to crush his grandfather's bones and scatter ashes. If the grandson of the king of Huaiyang County, who is hated by the clans all over the world, inherits the world of the Great Qi Dynasty, do you think those clans will be convinced? When the time comes, both the civil officials and the clan will oppose it, even if your father really passes on the throne to him, how can he sit still? ”
Speaking of this, Concubine De, who really didn't want to look any further, sat back in her chair and asked King Song to close the window. Looking at King Song, who was still gritting his teeth with anger, he drank a few cups of tea before he could barely suppress the jealousy in his heart before continuing: "I told you to go to your uncle yesterday, did you go?" What did your uncle say yesterday? ”
Hearing Concubine De mention the matter of letting her go to her uncle to discuss yesterday, King Song, who was already gloomy, said with an even more gloomy face: "Mother, don't mention your son's uncle." Last night, my son went to his uncle to consult, as you commanded. But after he learned of his son's intention, he said for a long time that this matter should be considered in the long run, and now he doesn't know what to do? ”
"The son asked his uncle to think of some ways from the background of that and the custom of the ancestors, so that he could not win over some ministers of the DPRK and the central government to break down and bite to death the killing of that in Zhengzhou. But no matter what his son says, his uncle just doesn't spit out. I was in a hurry, so I said that looking at the current limelight of that, I am afraid that I will enter the palace after the New Year, so let's avoid it for a while. ”
"He also said that he couldn't look at things for a while, and he had to take a long-term view. If after the year, that really enters the palace to manage the government, and asks his son to intercede with his father and go to a certain errand under that. Hmph, when he needs your sister, he will agree to anything. When we need him, we'll push back and push. Mother, you really have a good brother. ”
Seeing that King Song was really a little uncontrollable, although he was a little stupid, after all, he had lived for so many more years, and he had always occupied a high position in the harem where the struggle was equally fierce, and he had accumulated a certain amount of experience in palace fighting. At this time, Concubine De, who had a longer vision than King Song, said angrily: "Shut up, how can your uncle be qualified to judge?" ”
"Let's not talk about whether your uncle is that kind of person, just say how many things your uncle has done for you over the years? Your cousin is still in prison and has not been released. Although you and your uncle take care of you, you can't suffer much. But what kind of place is the prison, is that a place where people stay? If it weren't for you, why would your cousin suffer from this sin? ”
"Your uncle has been an official for so many years, is it really not as good as you in terms of looking at some things? What your uncle said is not wrong, according to your father's importance to that, and the current situation of the princes, that is likely to enter the palace after the New Year. Over the years, when have you seen your father and the emperor willing to be supported by his son? ”
