Chapter 207: To Experience the Virtue of Heaven's Good Life
At this moment, the emperor directly excluded King Song. It can even be said that he has not even considered it, which also shows an attitude of the emperor. I'm afraid that when looking at this King of Song and the concubine behind him, this emperor actually didn't look at it at all. Otherwise, then at least this Song King should be given a chance, right?
At least for now, the emperor is only willing to choose between the king of Shu and the king of England, which is enough to explain some problems. Imperial Physician Guo knew in his heart that when the emperor finally made his choice, that is, when the position of the crown prince was abolished. The emperor can be said to have good intentions this time, he is making a choice for the prince's future after the abolition of the crown prince.
In all dynasties, the crown prince who lost the position of prince has hardly had a good result. Although his emperor father may not be able to do it, how many of the brothers who took over the throne are willing to let go? Depressed, it is the best choice for these waste princes. The emperor took such pains to save the prince's life after a hundred years.
It's just that he, an old friend of the emperor, can really get his wish? What has the prince done over the years, is he really clear? And what is the truth about the assassination of the British king? The death of the three kings, whose black hand is it. If it was really the crown prince, would he have escaped retribution?
The emperor's idea is very good, but whether it will be a dream in the end, who can say clearly? The emperor is still alive and the power is firmly in his hands, and he is still unable to restrain the open and secret battles between the princes, which eventually led to this incident. What's more, a hundred years later, everyone has no scruples?
In fact, this Imperial Physician Guo really wants to persuade the emperor, if he succeeds to the throne after a hundred years, he is not a person who has both mind and skill, and he is already in a bit out of control at the moment, and whoever is replaced will be the same. Once you choose the wrong person, even if you have only one of these two, there will be only two consequences.
Either the king of succession can't suppress his brothers. In order to stabilize the imperial power, he went on a killing spree against his siblings. In this way, it is contrary to his painstaking efforts. Or, the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty and the Xuanwumen Rebellion in the former Tang Dynasty will be staged again, and the brothers will meet each other and kill each other.
However, although Imperial Physician Guo is not very optimistic, the emperor's approach, Imperial Physician Guo, who is very deep in the city, will never say it. In royal affairs, mortals should be less involved as well. Especially in this kind of battle for succession, even if you are yourself, it is better not to participate in it as much as possible. Although I don't care, I still have a big family after all.
And the emperor's thoughts, although he understands. But is the emperor's mind really like what he sees, I'm afraid it may not be? Although he has been friends with him for more than 20 years, this emperor rarely opens his heart completely in front of him. The regal is unpredictable, and there is no harm in being cautious.
Listening to the dialogue between the emperor of the front hall and the king of Shu who came to the call, this Imperial Doctor Guo's mind was full of imagination. At this time, Huang Qiong, who had already returned to listen to Xue Xuan and was extremely depressed by the emperor's words, was warmly welcomed by her younger sister. Seeing Huang Qiong coming back, Shouyang, who was painting red, couldn't even bother to write, and trotted all the way to greet him.
Looking at Shouyang who ran all the way, Huang Qiong hurriedly picked her up. Good fellow, I haven't seen you for a few days, this little guy seems to be much heavier, and this little face has become much rounder. It seems that this girl is not ordinary in her mother's place. And Shouyang, who was in his arms, looked at Huang Qiong and said with a smile: "Brother Jiu, you can be counted, Shouyang has missed you these days." ”
Listening to the young girl's fairy tales, although she was obviously fooling herself, it still made Huang Qiong's previous depressed mood disappear. In front of children, no one can live with a mask all the time. smiled and twisted the nose of the little girl in his arms and said, "Little man, do you want Brother Jiu, or do you want Brother Jiu to make something delicious?" ”
Huang Qiong's teasing made the little girl's face blush. lowered his head, buried his head in Huang Qiong's arms a little shyly, and said, "People really miss Brother Jiu." Just thinking about it, thinking about it, I thought of the delicious food made by Brother Jiu. Shouyang, his father and his mother, have said it many times. If you don't believe me, you ask your mother. ”
After watching the little girl being exposed by herself, she looked a little shy. Huang Qiong laughed and raised this girl to the top of her head: "Brother Jiu doesn't need to ask your mother, I also believe in Shouyang's words." Okay, Brother Jiu will fulfill Shouyang's wish today, make pot wrapped meat for Shouyang, and there are many, many other delicious dishes. ”
Hearing that Huang Qiong promised to make something delicious, Shouyang's excited little face riding on Huang Qiong's shoulder turned into a small bun. And Huang Qiong raised her head, but saw Jing Niang, who was accompanying Shouyang to learn characters, looking at herself with a smile at the moment. Thinking of what Fang Cai coaxed the child himself, he couldn't help but blush, and smiled a little embarrassed.
When Jingniang came over and wanted to take Shouyang over, Huang Qiong shook her head and said, "Let this girl sit like this, I will be a big horse for Shouyang today." She's still a child, so don't push too her studies. Our Shouyang is so smart, there is no problem with occasional relaxation. ”
After that, Huang Qiongcai looked at Jing Niang and said, "How is it?" I was in too much of a hurry when I entered the palace last time, and I didn't have time to talk to you in detail. I don't know if you are comfortable with life in the palace? I know my mother's temperament, I'm afraid that this girl will discipline more on weekdays. This girl looks quiet, but after all, she is a child, and she is probably very skinny. ”
Seeing Huang Qiong asking about her life in the palace, Jing Niang smiled slightly and said: "It's very good here, there are good mothers who are good to Jing Niang, and the emperor is also good to Jing Niang, and you don't have to pay attention to those troubles outside, and Princess Shouyang is with you." Jing Niang is also very adaptable in the palace, but His Royal Highness King Lao Ying is worried about it. ”
Looking at the sincere expression on Jing Niang's face, it didn't look like a fraud. Knowing that she was really adapting to life in the palace, Huang Qiong was also relieved. Thinking of something, Huang Qiong looked at Jing Niang in front of her and said, "I'm going to Zhengzhou soon, and it's time to reveal some truths." ”
Sure enough, he is a smart person, as soon as Huang Qiong mentioned that she was going to Zhengzhou, Jingniang immediately reacted. Huang Qiong's last half of the sentence made Jing Niang, who had more contact with Huang Qiong's mother and was much calmer, become excited. It's no wonder that Jingniang is excited, she learned that her parents were hopeful, and it was the same for everyone.
Jing Niang had an excited expression, Huang Qiong shook her head and said: "Be calm, I will try my best to check some things, but I don't know what it looks like." During this time, don't show it in the palace. In any case, he is still the son of his father. ”
Hearing Huang Qiong's advice, Jing Niang nodded desperately. But the excited look was not able to calm down immediately. Seeing that she couldn't calm down for a while, Huang Qiong said: "Go back to the room and cry happily, and vent the depression in your heart." There are some things that should not always be suppressed in your heart. But promise me that after venting this time, don't show it in the future. ”
Huang Qiong's words fell, and after Jing Niang took a deep look at Huang Qiong, she covered her mouth and turned around and ran towards her room. Looking at her back, Huang Qiong sighed deeply. Just as Huang Qiong watched Jingniang leave in a hurry, her mother's voice came: "She is very smart, there are some things that you don't need to know to her." ”
When Huang Qiong turned around and looked at her mother, who didn't know when she came behind her, she shook her head and said, "My son knows that she is very smart, otherwise he wouldn't have sent her to his mother." It's just that if some things are really so easy to forget, you are no longer you, she is no longer her, and I am not me anymore. ”
"There are some things that are always suppressed in my heart, and sooner or later something will happen. It's better to let her vent, although I also know that people in the palace don't even have the right to cry. Just like you back then, and now she is, and maybe Queen Daxing. Mother, how much have you been hiding from me all these years? ”
Regarding Huang Qiong's words, his mother didn't look at him, but turned her gaze to the merlin in Tingxue Xuan, and was silent for a long time before saying: "There are some things that should be known to you, and I will let you know when the dust returns to dust and the earth returns to the earth." Only now, it's not that time. ”
Mother's answer made Huang Qiong also silent. He knew that if his mother didn't want to say it, at least he wouldn't be able to ask. And Shouyang, who was riding on Huang Qiong's shoulders at this moment, opened a pair of good-looking big eyes, and looked curiously at the mother and son, who were silent at this time: "Mother, Brother Jiu, are you playing dumb riddles with Shouyang?" ”
Shouyang's words broke the silence at this time. Huang Qiong remembered that some words should not be interviewed in front of children. Hurriedly put the young sister down, took her little hand and said, "Brother Jiu and his mother didn't play dumb riddles, Brother Jiu was just discussing with his mother what to do for Shouyang in a while." ”
I heard my brother and his mother discussing what to do for himself. After Shouyang smiled sweetly, he stretched out another little hand and took his mother together. Looking at Shouyang's heart-warming actions, her mother touched her little head lovingly, and walked towards the house with her.
Entering her mother's study, Huang Qiong patted Shouyang's little hand and asked her to continue to paint red. Only then did he say to his mother: "Son, I'm afraid I will lead the troops to Zhengzhou in the next few days." I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until years ago. When I entered the palace this time, I specially bid farewell to my mother. I don't know if there is anything else to tell my mother. ”
Huang Qiong's words fell, but her mother did not answer him immediately, but was silent for a long time before saying: "Unexpectedly, I avoided it for eighteen years, and I also let my son avoid it for eighteen years, but I finally came to this point." Maybe this is the fate of being born in heaven and being difficult to get rid of. ”
"Since your father has made up his mind, I'm afraid that things have reached a point of no return. Having come this far, what can I say? Although I don't want you to have the blood of my own family on your hands, I don't want you to bear the charge of killing your brother. But your father chose you, presumably because he knew that with your character, he would not be able to do that kind of thing. ”
He was worried that if someone else went, King Jing would be full of chickens and dogs. In this matter, he didn't even dare to believe the courtiers in the court. Before you came to me, your father had already said everything he should have said. I don't want to say anything, the only hope is that you can go and experience the virtue of a good life in God and reduce killing and abuse. ”
Mother's words made Huang Qiong's brows frown slightly. He now feels more and more that things back then may not be what they seem. Although her mother revealed only a few words, it still made Huang Qiong feel it again. The matter between the mother and the old man, as well as the queen of Daxing, is by no means so simple.
It's just that the mother doesn't want to say, what can he do as a son? Regarding her mother's silence, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly: "Mother, the son promised his father that he would try his best to keep the second brother's bloodline." Other than that, the father didn't tell anything? As for whether he can do it, his son can only say that he will do his best. ”
