Penglai Pavilion in late autumn, the scenery has a unique taste.

In this season of autumn wind and loneliness, the greenhouse system in Penglai Pavilion began to operate.

The charcoal brazier buried deep in the ground burns continuously at twelve o'clock every day, just right to maintain the temperature of many halls in Penglai Pavilion at a comfortable 245 degrees, warm as spring.

As a result, some plants growing between the halls of Penglai Pavilion had the illusion of pulling out the buds by mistake in this late autumn.

In some of the buildings that extend into the artificial lake in front of Penglai Pavilion, the residual heat of the charcoal fire escapes into the water, attracting schools of fish to move closer to the surroundings of these pavilions.

The Son of Heaven stood by the windowsill and sprinkled the rice grains in his hands into the lake, attracting countless fish to compete for food.

Looking at these fish vying for food, the corners of the Son of Heaven's mouth showed a slight smile.

He loved to see it like that.

Back then, Tang Wu opened three sides and birds and beasts, and his grace could be enjoyed even by fish, and he also knew gratitude.

"What's the prince's reaction?" The Son of Heaven asked softly.

"Returning to Your Majesty......" An old eunuch who was dying of old age, bowed his body, and replied softly: "The old slave heard that after the prince learned about this, he pondered for a long time behind closed doors, and now he has taken the prince and Fu Shide and other subordinate officials on the way to Jianzhang Palace......"

"Oh......" The Son of Heaven laughed: "I still think that the prince has changed to the way of the old village, and wants to escape from the world and live in seclusion, and there is no quarrel with the world......"

The old eunuch hurriedly lowered his head, bowed his head deeply, and did not dare to answer.

He has been serving this majesty for more than 40 years, and in the first year of the founding of the country, he entered the palace and took care of his daily life and food by his majesty's side.

The old eunuch knows everything about His Majesty's temperament.

The Son of Heaven pinched the rice grains in his hand and threw them all into the water, immediately attracting countless fish to crowd and grab food.

"The king ordered ......" the Son of Heaven asked softly: "You have served me for more than forty years, and the crown prince has also grown up under your watch...... Tell me, how did I and the prince become what they are today? ”

The old eunuch raised his head, revealing wrinkled cheeks, deeply sunken eye sockets, a little cloudy, and he said tremblingly: "The old slave is old and faint, how dare you criticize His Majesty's family affairs......"

"Huh!" The Son of Heaven laughed and sighed, "That's right, you don't dare to say it......"

"Prince...... Not like me...... The world knows it! ”

The old eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "Your Majesty is angry......"

Not like me......

It is the nightmare that lingers in this court, the curse that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Emperor Gao didn't like Emperor Hui and felt that Liu Ying, the king of Zhao, was like himself; When Taizong was alive, he preferred Liu Yi, the king of Liang Huai, to the first emperor, if Liu Yi hadn't fallen from his horse and died early, I am afraid that a palace civil strife would have been inevitable; The first emperor looked at Prince Su, and it was not pleasing to the eye when he looked horizontally and vertically, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, deposed Prince Su, and re-established the current one, and the one in front of him was harsh on the prince of the current dynasty.

It seems that if the son of the Han family and his crown prince do not have any contradictions, and if they do not make some trouble, it is not normal.

However, the relationship between His Majesty and the crown prince of the current dynasty is the most complex and elusive in all dynasties.

Even he, an old courtier who has served His Majesty for more than 40 years, can't understand the complicated relationship between father and son.

The Son of Heaven suddenly turned his head, looked at the old eunuch in front of him, and asked, "Then I ask you, how do the people up and down in this palace think of the prince?" ”

The old eunuch bowed his body, carried his back, and said in a low voice: "Where do the slaves and maids dare to criticize the affairs of the Heavenly Family? Everything is only the head of His Majesty! Your Majesty's meaning is the will of heaven...... Slaves and maidservants can only be edicted......"

"Old slippery head!" The Son of Heaven shook his head.

The old eunuch could only bow his body and not say a word.

"Then I will ask you again...... The Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of rice grains from the jade plate held in the hand of a standing attendant next to him, and continued to throw them into the water: "With your understanding of the prince, what do you think the prince will think this time?" ”

"Old slave ......," the old eunuch replied tremblingly, "I don't know ......"

"I don't know......" The Son of Heaven sighed and looked at the fish in the lake: "I don't know either......"

The old eunuch listened, bowed his head deeply, and did not dare to answer at all.

Over the years, this majesty has always done a lot of wayward things to stimulate the prince.

And, every time it's more intense!

Just like last year, the little prince Liu Fuling was born, this old son of heaven seemed to be a little too happy, and directly ordered the palace gate of the palace where Liu Fuling was born to be renamed Yaomumen!

This incident immediately caused an uproar, and the entire government and the opposition were shocked!

Yaomu Yaomu ......

So who is Yao?

The crown prince Liu Ju and Empress Wei were even more frightened, and hurriedly went to Ganquan Palace to plead guilty.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also panicked and went to Ganquan Palace to meet them.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, His Majesty seemed to know that he had gone too far, so he explained to the outside world stupidly: "Empress Yao of the Han family, the beloved son of the little prince of me, and the descendant of Emperor Gao and Miao, should also be the ......queen of Yao."

Reluctantly, he fooled the criticism and discussion inside and outside the government and the opposition.

But......

The crisis was also buried, and since then, many people have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Especially in this court, countless people have seen the hope of overthrowing the crown prince.

Is there only one Su Wen who is against the crown prince?

In this palace, in addition to an old eunuch like him, who has no desires or desires, how many others have a good impression of the prince?

However, this majesty did not restrain at all, and always couldn't hold back his desire to stimulate the prince.

This time, isn't this capricious again?

Moreover, the play is even bigger.

This time, he directly asked the eldest grandson to bring a large amount of ordnance back to Xinfeng.

Those ordnances, although they are only the accumulation of arsenals and the obsolete equipment of the Han army, are also ordnance after all.

And it's enough to arm thousands of armies!

If this thing gets out, what will the world think?

Although the old eunuch had never read a book, he also knew that there would definitely be problems if this continued.

The Son of Heaven pinched the grains of rice in his hand and threw them into the water outside the window one by one.

Deep down, he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"General, ......" At this moment, he misses the general who always speaks gently in front of him: "I really miss Qing......"

Since the death of the general, his relationship with the crown prince has plummeted.

Because, there is no longer a person who can act as an intermediary, between their father and son, as a bridge of communication.

And he, of course, couldn't put down the shelf, take the initiative to find the prince, like educating a three-year-old child, and take the trouble to break everything down and tell the prince bit by bit.

That's not his character!

He can't do such a thing!

And the prince always does all kinds of things that make him feel helpless and even disgusted.

Since Yuyi was affected by the disaster, he originally thought that the prince would reform and learn a lesson.

But......

Soon he found out that although the prince had changed some problems, there were bigger problems!

Especially after Li Yu's incident, the prince seems to have some limits of self-abandonment.

This made the Son of Heaven unbearable at all!

How can the prince of the country become like this?

So, when Liu came in and asked him to bring some discarded weapons from the arsenal back to Xinfeng, the Son of Heaven didn't know what he thought, and with a wave of his hand, he approved thousands of ordnance.

After doing this, although he was slightly regretful and flustered, he was inexplicably a little happy.

…………………………

"Your Majesty......" Shangguan Ji tiptoed to the Son of Heaven, bowed respectfully, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince and the others ask to see ......."

"Chuan ......" The Son of Heaven quietly threw all the rice grains in his hand into the water, then took a clean towel and wiped his hands clean.

"No!" Shangguan Ji hurriedly bowed again, and then retreated step by step.

A moment later, the crown prince Liu Ju and more than a dozen officials walked into this place.

"Erchen respectfully asks his father Emperor Sheng'an......" Liu Ju stepped forward and bowed his head.

"The prince of the minister, Fu Degong, asked Sheng'an......" Shi De took a large number of officials, and prostrate: "My emperor has no borders for longevity......"

"I bow down and ......" The Son of Heaven turned around expressionlessly, looking at the eldest son and his ministers kneeling in front of him.

"The prince came to see me, what's the matter?" The Son of Heaven asked coldly, his tone was solemn and his face was cold.

In fact, the Son of Heaven himself doesn't know when he and the crown prince became what they are now.

He looked at the crown prince Liu Ju who was prostrate in front of him.

He remembered very well that forty-three years ago, when the crown prince had just been born.

He likes it so much, he spoils it so much!

He looked at the newborn little man, and the joy on his face could be felt without looking in the mirror.

He held up the newborn little man and excitedly announced to the world: I have a future!

Therefore, he granted amnesty to the world and gave the title of the father of the world.

He also ordered Dongfang Shuo and Mei Cheng to give the little prince who had just been born, and ordered Taichang to establish a high media ceremony, and he personally took the civil and military officials to the high temple to report the good news to Emperor Gao, and he even couldn't wait to name the eldest son who had just been born.

According to the people, hold on to it!

"Three Strategies" says: Those who can help the world in danger will be able to live according to the world.

The meaning is so simple that it is straightforward - in this world, I have it according to your fate!

So, the master father, who has always been good at figuring out his thoughts, immediately went to the book and asked for the crown prince.

But he thought about it again and again, weighed it again and again, and did not agree, but just issued an edict to make Wei Zifu the queen.

Because, he was afraid, he was worried, this beloved son died.

It took seven years before he dared to issue an edict to make him the crown prince.

But......

Why is it the way it is today?

The Son of Heaven still remembers that when the prince was a child, he snuggled in his arms and snuggled up to the cute appearance of coquettishness.

He also remembered that when the prince was a young man, he was happy under his knees.

He remembered that the crown prince once saw him, and he never called his father, but only 'father'.

And yet now......

He and the prince are no longer like father and son, but like enemies!

Every time they meet, they are either angry with the prince and half to death, or the prince is scolded by himself and half to death!
