Chapter 861: Unrelenting

Doctor Shangguan waited in the hall for a while, and saw that the ministers of the Song State all looked at King Song, but King Song did not respond for a long time.

Seeing this, Doctor Shangguan smiled slightly, and then said to the silent King Song: "King, as we all know, the crown prince is the prince of the country, which is not comparable to ordinary ministers, and he cannot leave the capital for a long time. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the ministers in the country to attach, the people will be unstable, and the father and son will be suspicious.

In the past, the prince Shen Sheng of Jin Xian did not live outside, and for a long time, although Jin Xiangong had no intention of abolishing the prince, but the father and son were estranged, just a false accusation by Li Ji, Shen Sheng had no way to complain, and could only prove himself with death. Shen was born and died, and the Jin Kingdom of Nuoda was weakened by decades of civil strife. ”

After speaking, Doctor Shangguan immediately bowed his hand and said: "King, it can be seen from this that it is not a blessing for the country for the prince to live outside. Even if the king has no intention of abolishing the prince, the king and the prince live separately, and the father and son are separated, which will inevitably give outsiders a sense of separation between father and son.

At that time, once someone slanders him, and then someone obstructs him, so that the prince can't defend himself, and he doesn't see the king, the prince is frightened, panicked, or go or die, this is probably not the blessing of the Song Kingdom. ”

After Doctor Shangguan finished speaking, the ministers in the palace couldn't help but nodded, what he said was reasonable, and it was exactly what they were worried about.

And what they are even more worried about is that when the prince is panicked, if he does not follow what the doctor Shangguan said, he either proves his innocence by death, or flees in terror, but rises up to rebel...

At the moment when the state of Chu is extremely strong, and the state of Qi is too busy to take care of itself, once the crown prince leads the Chu army into the Song Dynasty, or the state of Chu sends troops into the Song in the name of helping the crown prince, then the good situation of the Song country will probably be ruined.

At this moment, the princelings of the Song State, the pro-Chu faction, plus the neutral faction, and even the cronies of the King of Song, all reached an agreement in an instant while they were watching each other.

At this time, King Song saw that after the ministers finished speaking with Doctor Shangguan, many people nodded in deep understanding.

Many of the originally expectant eyes gradually became firm.

Then, the atmosphere in the temple, which was originally very oppressive, gradually became heavy.

Seeing this, King Song couldn't help but be shocked and frightened.

He had long known that the Chu envoy's visit to Song was not good, but he didn't expect that the Chu envoy would let the ministers stand on the prince's side in just a few words.

Although the ministers did not speak at this moment, King Song knew that this was because the Chu envoy was still here, so they could not admonish at this time. However, as long as the Chu envoy leaves, I am afraid that the ministers will immediately rush to the courtiers and give advice.

King Song couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that it was a foregone conclusion that Prince Zhen's return to the Song capital.

It's just that when he thinks of the strand of white hair on Prince Zizhen's head, even if Prince Zizhen has not returned to Shangqiu and has not appeared in front of him, King Song still has bursts of disgust.

Then, King Song's disgusted gaze passed through the hall, as if he had returned to a few months ago, that is, shortly after the King of Chu forcibly demanded the daughter of the crown prince.

At that time, the always strong King Song occasionally felt cold and had to entrust the government to the crown prince.

King Song happened to hear that Prince Zhen held a banquet in the palace during his serious illness, as if he was happy. Moreover, it is said that during the banquet, many ministers sang praises to the prince.

At the same time, there were some rumors in the country that he was seriously ill and about to die, and the crown prince was about to ascend the throne, which made King Song feel very unhappy.

However, because this kind of rumor often popped up when he shot the sky and whipped the earth and became enemies of Qi, Weichu and other countries, King Song often heard rumors that cursed him in the country.

Therefore, King Song was angry in his heart, although he was a little dissatisfied with the prince, but he did not have the idea of abolishing the prince.

But on the third day, when the prince came to greet him, something happened that made him very angry.

On that day, he actually saw that Wang Zizhen, whose forehead was always slightly wrinkled in the past, was stretched out during his recuperation.

Isn't this secretly rejoicing or what?

What's more, he also saw a few strands of white hair on the crown prince's head. Maybe white hair had already appeared on the crown prince's head before, and he didn't care, maybe it only came out in the past few days. However, the moment he saw the white hair on the crown prince's head, he was completely stunned.

It took him a long time before he suddenly realized that the crown prince had been the prince for almost thirty years, and he was almost fifty years old, and he, the father of the prince, the king of Song, was almost seventy years old.

As soon as he thought of this, King Song suddenly became furious, and then scolded the dazed prince Zhen and drove him out of the palace.

After that, every time King Song saw the crown prince and looked at the white hair on his head, there was always a nameless fire, and the relationship between father and son deteriorated.

It wasn't until the war between Qin and Chu that the King of Song found an opportunity to demote the crown prince to Huaibei in one fell swoop, and he was out of sight.

Moreover, in order to prevent the crown prince from appearing in front of him again, the king of Song has decided to abolish the crown prince.

In the past few months, until now, King Song is still hesitating in his heart, whether to establish a son under the age of 30, or a son under the age of 20, or... Just set up the son who had just been born as the prince!

Thinking about it, King Song's gaze gradually returned to reality, looked at the ministers, and then looked at the envoy of Chu, and finally the thousand words in his heart all converged into one sentence.

The widow is not old yet! Even if the crown prince returns to Shangqiu, he is the prince after all, and the widow is the king of Song, the prince of the Song Kingdom... After all, it's still the widow who has the final say.

Thinking of this, King Song smiled, then looked at Doctor Shangguan and said with a smile: "The meaning of the King of Chu is unknown to the people, and I also asked Xianqing to go back and tell the King of Chu, saying that the widow has never had the intention of abolishing the prince." I asked Zizhen to go to Huaibei before, but because the land of Huaibei was a dowry gift from the king of Chu to Zizhen, so to build a city in Huaibei, only Zizhen came forward, not a widow with other intentions.

Now that Huaisi City in Huaibei is about to be built, Zizhen will naturally return when the city is built.

He also asked Xianqing to go back and report to the King of Chu, so that the King of Chu could rest assured, and the Song beauties would also rest assured that the friendship between Chu and Song would never change. ”

At this time, the ministers were relieved when they heard that King Song was relieved under the pressure of the Chu State, and they already had the intention of letting the prince return to the capital.

In this way, the crown prince is satisfied, the state of Chu is also satisfied, and the state of Song has no worries about the army for the time being, and it is very good.

"What the king means, the minister already knows." As soon as Doctor Shangguan heard what King Song said, he immediately smiled and saluted, and then, after straightening up, he looked at King Song again and said, "However, when you come to Song on the order of the widow, you must get a definite answer, so as to live up to the expectations of the widow." ”

As he spoke, Doctor Shangguan looked at King Song, smiled, and arched his hand: "I don't know when the king plans to let the prince return to Shangqiu, please ask the king to tell Yu Chen, so that the minister can go back to report to the widow." ”
