Chapter 396: He's Moving Eastward in Trouble

Speaking of Huang Qiong's son, the emperor shook his head slightly and said: "This bastard boy is very shrewd, and he can't hide it from him at all with that little action of that beast." He should have figured it out much earlier than I did. But my old friend is right, he is indeed short of manpower now. If the beast was doing something, it would be a bit difficult to deal with. ”

"So I immediately ordered thirty guards to be selected from my side and sent to the palace of the British king. I hope this is the end of the matter, and that brute doesn't make any more waves. I hope that bastard boy will give me a snack, and don't give me a big grin, what is going on. I really can't stand a similar turmoil again. ”

"I prepare, Ming'er will tell the world that the three kings of Wasteland, Duan, and Shu are concubines. And the edict and the two kings of Fuji brought their families into Beijing. The original feudal land was changed to Mintian. This time, I have made up my mind, starting with my son, to abolish the feudal system set by Emperor Taizu. I want to take a good look, under my nose, why are they still doing nonsense one by one? ”

"Maybe in this matter, King Jing and King Duan were a little wronged. But for the sake of the world of the Great Qi Dynasty, for the face of the Heavenly Family, I can't take care of much. However, although the two of them are somewhat aggrieved, the abolition of their prince is not completely wronged against them. Just raising private soldiers, I don't mean wronged if I ban them. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor, who had not closed his eyes all night, rubbed his face a little tiredly. Then he sighed and said, "I think about it now, maybe Ah Jiu's comment on the crown prince is right. It's not just the crown prince, these rebels have done such a culpable thing, and I really have a responsibility that I can't shirk. ”

"Over the years, I have paid more attention to the education of their moral integrity and ability, ignoring the changeable hearts of the people and the different changes with different status. As soon as the prince was released from the cold palace, he became the prince of the dynasty. I have not undergone rigorous training and examinations, nor have I undergone any training myself. There is not even a single excess, so he takes on such a big responsibility. ”

"I only saw his maid and filial piety, but I forgot that a person can change. The precarious life in the cold palace made him attach great importance to the position of this prince. After so many years of accumulation, he has developed a character of suffering from gains and losses. Several of his half-brothers, and even all of them, were seen as a threat by him. ”

The change in his mentality also affected several half-brothers. Last night, Princess Jing told me that King Jing had talked to her more than once. It's not that King Jing is willing to fight with him, but with the prince's current mind, it is difficult to tolerate these younger brothers who have threatened him, even if they seem to be threatening. ”

"During my reign, the crown prince may still be able to reluctantly restrain himself. But the day the crown prince inherits the throne will be the death of their entire family. It's not that he wants to fight with the prince for anything, but the prince forces him to fight. Not only him, but Duanwang is also in this mind. And there are too many villains around the prince who are looking for every opportunity and want to create a dragon gong. ”

But the prince just obeyed those villains who would only sow discord and take the opportunity to create opportunities for their own ascendancy. As long as those traitorous villains who only see benefits in their eyes are in one day, the contradiction between them and the prince will never be resolved. King Jing's words, "Although they may not be all sincere, I believe that at least some of them are true. “

"Maybe I didn't make a prince too hastily back then, and brought him with me for a few years. After all these years of working the princes, the current situation may not be really unavoidable. It's the King of Shu, I think about it now, in fact, I have already found some clues, but I didn't care too much. ”

"If he had been vigilant earlier, and the discipline of the King of Shu was more severe, it was not because he was the youngest son of the queen, who was confined to the cold palace with his mother before the age of three, and was too doting, maybe today's things could have been avoided. Old friend, you have been friends with me for many years, and there is no need for me to hide this from you. I'm a father, and now it looks like a real failure. ”

Regarding the emperor's remorseful words, Imperial Physician Guo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you have indeed been negligent in your education of the princes over the years. But if it is said that several princes have come to this point, it is not necessarily true that they are all blamed on you. The nine sons of the dragon are all different, not to mention the princes? How wise was Tang Taizong back then, and there were no rebels like Li You? ”

"There are certain external reasons for what a person eventually looks like, but it mainly depends on one's own heart. You can choose the best literati of the Great Qi Dynasty for them to be their masters. But you can't control what kind of mind the people around them are. As the saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces does not know hearts. ”

"It's even more impossible, it affects their changes in heart all the time. You, as a father, can't change the people around them once a year. You are the king of a country, not a private school teacher who teaches. It's impossible to put aside national affairs and put all your thoughts on your son. ”

"The main reason why several princes have come to this point is still in themselves. What's more, the King of England is right in saying that not everyone can correctly face the changes in the environment around them. Not everyone can accept the drastic change in identity. Moreover, you set up the crown prince in the first place in order to consolidate the country's foundation under the situation of great chaos and peace, so it cannot be said that it was wrong. ”

"Your Majesty, several princes have come to this point, and most of them are to blame, and they have little to do with you. Although there is some truth in the King's words, most of them are still too extreme. Although the son does not teach the father and the son, as the king of a country, it is impossible for you to teach the princes yourself. Don't blame yourself too much for this, and take care of your dragon's body. ”

Imperial Physician Guo's persuasion made the emperor feel a little better. However, when Huang Qiong's words were mentioned, the emperor could only shake his head speechlessly. At that time, although he was furious by Gao Wuyong's reply, but now after a closer look, he found that Huang Qiong's words were not unreasonable. Of course, there is no such thing as psychology in this era.

But who is this shrewd emperor? To be able to come out of such a difficult environment, to be dictatorial for so many years, and to firmly control the entire situation in his hands, he is definitely a master of playing with people's hearts. There are some things that I haven't thought about before, after all, we are talking about parents who are all in the world. The only son of man is to listen to his parents, and he absolutely does not accuse his parents.

And for this emperor, he found the crown prince the best teacher in the world, and also the most capable and virtuous teacher. The prince's homework is also very strict in the school examination, and he looks forward to the prince growing into a green pine that stands up to the sky. Unexpectedly, instead of standing up to the sky, the prince has grown into a crooked-necked tree.

As a father, he has done everything he should do, and the prince is to blame for getting to where he is today. To put it bluntly, that is, the prince's own affairs, have nothing to do with him, a father. But now after carefully tasting Huang Qiong's words, the emperor, who is good at playing with people's hearts, finally understands that he is wrong.

It's just that now that I have figured it out, it's too late to redeem it. Engaging in male pets, raising killers, poisoning younger brothers, and conniving at his henchmen to exploit the people has reached the point of anger and resentment. Such a prince, unless he really wants to give this Great Qi Dynasty more than 100 years of the world, in his hands. Otherwise, the emperor would dare to continue to put him in the position of prince?

Not only the prince, but also the three kings of Jing, Duan, and Shu, all of them all have wolf ambitions. Especially the king of Shu, for the position of the prince, he is unscrupulous. That's his brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and nephew, how can he go down and kill his brother? If it weren't for the king's quick reaction, I'm afraid King Jing's family would have to follow in the footsteps of the king.

Only now, the situation has developed to the point of no return, and it is too late for the emperor to regret it. What else could the emperor say but a sigh? Fortunately, although King Duan was wiped out, and there was only one Princess Duan who was left who was half-stupid, King Jing's family was saved. The emperor didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like if Zhengzhou sent someone else.

Looking at the emperor whose face flickered, Imperial Physician Guo wisely changed the topic: "Your Majesty, what do you want to marry with the Guilin County Palace?" The old minister thought that the king's saying that marrying a wife is better than marrying a daughter actually has some truth. The power of the Guilin County Palace's palace is already huge enough. Lao Chen thinks that you need to think carefully in this regard. ”

Hearing Imperial Physician Guo, he mentioned the marriage with the Guilin County Palace, as well as Huang Qiong's original opinion. Although he knows that the old friend is consciously changing the topic, he doesn't want to continue the original topic, but intends to relax himself. The emperor also took advantage of the situation and said: "Old friend, Ah Jiu understands my thoughts and is looking for an excuse to prevaricate me?" ”

"How come I don't know that the power of the Guilin County Palace's current power is already big enough? In the position of a queen, there may not be much benefit, but it is like a tiger in the momentum of the Guilin County Palace. But old friend, if I want to open the sea ban and get back the right to trade that has been exclusively enjoyed by the Guilin County Mansion for hundreds of years, will people be willing to let go if they don't give enough sweetness? ”

"Unless I openly tear my face with the Guilin County Palace, I can only think of something affordable and exchange it with the Guilin County Palace. To be honest, the current imperial court revenue is becoming increasingly scarce. If he really tears his face publicly, the court may not take advantage of it, not to mention, but also bear the infamy of persecuting the descendants of the founding heroes. ”

"What's more, there is no woman of the same age as the prince of Guilin County. If you find a random daughter, she will be canonized as a princess and married to the prince of Guilin County. For the Guilin County Palace, it is not an honor, but an out-and-out insult. Once the Guilin County Mansion is really reversed, the situation will be really difficult to clean up. ”

"In this case, I can only choose the lesser of the harm. After all, in this dynasty, except for the affairs of the six palaces, the queen has never had real power, and there is no precedent for interfering in court politics at every turn. Even if she is in the position of the queen mother, there is only one empty tablet. And if he is the heir I chose, with the perseverance to be strong and unconquerable, a queen will not be able to influence him. ”

"Giving Guilin County the position of queen is just a better reputation. As for Ah Jiu's sentence that marrying a wife is better than marrying a daughter, he is moving eastward in trouble, for fear that I will point it on his head and make this marriage a reality. I'm more worried that my words are there to lure the snake out of the hole. That's why I used this as an excuse to shirk in every possible way. How could he really hide his little caution from me? ”

"I'm not used to his problem, he can agree to this marriage, and he can also allow it. The words of the matchmaker of his parents' orders, he has to pick and choose there. Speaking of which, I was angry, this evil obstacle, I asked him to go to Zhengzhou to deal with King Jing's rebellion. It's good that he came back with a large flock of warblers and swallows. ”
