Chapter 1401: The Emperor's Mind (Part II)
"Since the father thinks that his daughter should marry, then the daughter should find someone to marry......"
Princess Changle's eyelashes drooped, and she whispered this sentence.
His Majesty Li Er was stunned at first, this girl has always refused to remarry, why did she suddenly figure it out again? When he saw Princess Changle's pale and cold face, he knew that this daughter of Xiuwai Hui had already guessed his thoughts.
If it was in the past, it would have been a very happy thing to see his daughter inherit her own wisdom and wisdom, but at this moment, His Majesty Li Er had an embarrassing emotion rising from his heart, and he looked away slightly, no longer looking at Princess Changle's beautiful cheeks, but casting his eyes out of the window.
The carved wooden windows are open, and you can see the fine rain rendered orange red by the palace lamp, and it hits the leaves of the flower trees, making a ticking sound, as if revealing a natural and flexible rhythm, not only does not make people feel upset, but has a peaceful and quiet fit.
The atmosphere was awkwardly silent in the sound of the rain......
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er slowly exhaled and said softly: "Why bother? ”
Princess Changle bit her lip, her heart was full of desolation, she raised her beautiful eyes to look at His Majesty Li Er, and said softly: "Why should my father bother?" ”
The two sentences without a head and a brain, asking and asking rhetorically, the father and daughter do have their own thoughts, and they both understand each other's meaning.
His Majesty Li Er was silent again.
Princess Changle stretched out her hand, and her slender white hand gently covered the back of His Majesty Li Er's hand on the table, and said pleadingly: "The prince's brother is pure filial piety and love, and he is deeply loved by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, not to mention that he has been in the position of the prince for many years, and he is a righteous prince, how can his father bear to depose him, causing turmoil in the court and separation of father and son?" ”
His Majesty Li Er was still silent.
The dissatisfaction with the crown prince has been going on for a long time.
His Majesty Li Er is ambitious, and he is determined to become an emperor through the ages who has made great achievements in the three emperors and five emperors, not only does he want to go down in history to create an immortal cause, but also hopes that his successor can inherit the huge empire he founded and pass on the legacy of Li Tang for thousands of years.
However, the weak-tempered prince is obviously not his favorite successor, and without extraordinary courage, how can he carry on the past and forge ahead into the future?
If it is a son, the prince is naturally a pure and filial person, but if he is a king, the prince is not qualified.
In particular, limping off one foot is really detrimental to the majesty of the emperor......
So he once intended to let Li Tai, the king of Wei, take the place of the crown prince.
However, Li Tai was first made famous and lost his prestige by Fang Jun's song "The Charcoal Seller", and then there were a series of assassinations, false accusations and other incidents, which made His Majesty Li Er hesitate and failed to make the decision to make Li Tai the crown prince.
In the past year or so, the prince's performance has been much better than before, and this is obviously because of Fang Jun. His Majesty Li Er was not much pleased, but became more and more dissatisfied with the crown prince.
It is good to be good at receiving advice, but if you have no idea and cause the king to be weak and strong, it is definitely not a blessing for the empire. His Majesty Li Er knows Fang Jun and knows that Fang Jun doesn't have much ambition, but since Fang Jun can make the prince bow down and obey, who can guarantee that another Fang Jun will appear in the future?
If the ministers are in charge, it will be the end of the erosion of the court.
His Majesty Li Er was faintly aware that the eldest grandson Wuji and others were secretly supporting the King of Jin, so he adopted an indulgent posture and allowed him to operate in secret, colluding with the courtiers and confronting the crown prince.
Speaking of wisdom and wisdom, the King of Jin who has inherited his own inheritance is obviously much better than the crown prince, if the King of Jin can show the potential to become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future, His Majesty Li Er will naturally not hesitate to hand over the position of prince to the King of Jin.
However, now the power of the eldest grandson of the central court is too weak to compete with the crown prince who is deeply loved by Fang Xuanling and other ministers. If you want to give King Jin a chance, you must cut off the prince's wings, so that the strength of the two sides will not be so different.
And the most solid arm by the prince's side is Fang Jun......
So when the scandal rose, His Majesty Li Er planned to push the boat down the river and depreciate Fang Jun out of Beijing, so as to weaken the prince's strength.
After all, he was calculating his son, and this move seemed to be too unfair, obviously favoring the King of Jin, and it was because Princess Changle saw through his intentions at this moment that he seemed very embarrassed.
His Majesty Li Er himself was a little helpless, sighed, and said, "The crown prince is really a little disappointed to me, and he is really not the most suitable candidate for the prince. ”
Princess Changle's face was sad, and she said hurriedly: "But has my father ever thought that if it is really easy to save, what will happen to the prince's brother?" ”
His Majesty Li Er was silent again.
Since ancient times, there are no two days and no two people, although the supreme throne of the world is the only one who holds the world, but it is also the most coveted, and he is always facing the danger of life and death with open swords and secret guns. In the face of absolute power, even if it is father and son, siblings, they are ruthless and ruthless.
His Majesty Li Er himself killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate before he sat on the supreme throne in the world......
And once Yi Chu ascends the throne in the future, Li Chengqian will inevitably become a confidant of the new emperor.
At that time, it is inevitable that brothers will look at the wall and kill each other.
It is precisely because he is worried about the fate of Li Chengqian that His Majesty Li Er hesitates, even if he wants to hand over the country to a wise and decisive son, how can he bear to harm his eldest son because of this?
He is a wise and martial emperor, but he is also a father who licks calves deeply.
The country and the family, the feelings and the reason, made His Majesty Li Er, who had always been decisive in killing, hesitate and could not make a final decision......
His Majesty Li Er sighed again: "How can I not know the danger of this matter? It's just that he has this thought in his heart, even if he deposes the crown prince and who will succeed him, he has not made up his mind. ”
Princess Changle took a deep breath and said resolutely: "My father wanted my daughter to marry into the Qiu family, so my daughter should obey my father's wishes." ”
As long as he marries, the scandal with Fang Jun will naturally disappear.
She doesn't know which prince the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and others support, but the Guanlong group is now divided internally, and although it has influence above the court, it is weak in the army, and the only one she can rely on is Qiu Xinggong, who has a good relationship with Gao Shilian.
He married Qiu Shenji, and was confident that he could influence the decision-making of the Qiu family, so that he would be separated from the Guanlong Group and take refuge in the account of the prince's brother.
She doesn't care about the great cause of the empire and the grand plans of the future, she is just a woman, and she can't bear to watch her brothers and sisters kill each other because of the position of prince in the future.
Only by consolidating the position of the crown prince can the tragedy be avoided.
And once it is easy to store, the worst outcome will be doomed.
In this regard, she sees it more thoroughly than His Majesty Li Er, and there is no fluke psychology that His Majesty Li Er pins everything on the brotherhood of several sons who are connected by blood......
It's just that even if I make the decision that I think is the most correct, I feel a little lost in my heart.
He bent down to marry, can that person feel that his move is to save the prince at the same time, but also to save him from being degraded out of Beijing and cutting off the end of going to the pavilion to worship the prime minister in this life?
*****
Shenguo Mansion.
The windows of the study were open, and the slightest moisture invaded the room, which was refreshing.
Xian Yu walked into the study and saw Gao Shilian sitting on the chair behind the bookcase, so he motioned to the maid behind him to put the freshly cooked bird's nest on the bookcase, and waited until the maid left, she walked to the window and closed the window to keep the fine rain out.
"How can this old body not know how to cherish it? If you catch a cold and catch a cold, it will cost you half a life. ”
Xian Yushi was slightly angry and complained, then he came to the bookcase, put aside the documents and books on the bookcase, and said angrily: "Drink the bird's nest while it's hot, and then wash up and go to bed, don't always stay up late when you're old, otherwise where will the spirit come from to appease those fox spirits in the backyard?" ”
Although the husband and wife love each other, they are hard-hearted, and they have never been gentle and careless, even if they express concern, they are also such a choking attitude and tone.
If it was in the past, Gao Shilian would naturally not take it to heart, this is the mode of getting along between husband and wife, and he has long been accustomed to it for half a lifetime, and even feels intimate. As for the flower-like concubines in the backyard, they are just greedy for freshness.
Even if she is a twenty-eight beautiful woman who is as delicate as jade in Tianxiang Country, how can she compare to the wife of the dregs who is in love with her?
But today, Gao Shilian's face was gloomy, and he glared at Xian Yu's and said in a deep voice: "Do you still have me in your eyes?" Talking nonsense outside to provoke right and wrong, do you want to bury the entire Gao family with you? ”
The sudden anger made Xian Yu stunned on the spot, and his face was dazed......
