Chapter 318: Counting is Counting
Even if he is the emperor, no matter how strict the protection is, there will be times when there are omissions, many things are unguardable, and there are too many places to start!
The purple-robed people understood that in such a situation, the emperor alienated the King of Jinyang, showed that he didn't like him, and there was no him in his eyes, which was precisely out of a kind of protection for him.
For the emperor, it is more important than anything else to let him grow up safely, even if there are regrets, even if he is misunderstood, and he hates him in his heart, what does it matter?
For King Jinyang, although he lost the love of his father, he was relatively safe.
Maybe since then, the emperor has intended to make the king of Jinyang the crown prince, it seems that the rumor about the prince has really happened, but because the timing is wrong, the eldest prince became the crown prince.
Although the king of Jinyang missed the position of the crown prince, the emperor has always been planning for him.
Just like now, doesn't the emperor just want to give him the country willingly?
In order to make his road to the throne smooth, he did not hesitate to use the word please to order himself to do his best to assist.
Hetai lacked family affection in his childhood, and his life was not good, and his heart was not happy.
But the emperor has hidden the emotions in his heart for so many years, so deep, so long. I obviously care in my heart, but I have to pretend to turn a blind eye, which is equivalent to wearing a layer of disguise, how can it be better?
I'm afraid that my heart is also tormented.
So much so that when I talk about these at this time, it is also extremely sad.
It's not so much talking to the purple-robed people, it's better to express the feelings and emotions that have been held in my heart for all these years and have nowhere to say.
"Everyone in the world thinks that the emperor is above ten thousand people and can do anything, but if I look back on the life of the emperor in the past few years, it is undoubtedly a failure. ”
"The woman I love can't protect it, and the distressed prince doesn't dare to show it. What a wreck I am alive and void. ”
Seeing the emperor's painful expression, the purple-robed man comforted, "The emperor is so cautious, it is all for the good of King Jinyang, and one day he will understand the emperor's good intentions." ”
The emperor smiled bitterly, "But what about Concubine Rong, she will never come back, and I don't know how to face her in the future, after all, I owe her too much." ”
"Over the years, I was afraid that something would go wrong with Tai'er, my favor had killed his mother, and I was afraid that I would kill him again. So I can only pretend that I don't care about him, ignore him, ignore him, and ignore him. ”
"When he was no knee-high enough for me, he once saw me, with his little face upturned and his dark eyes staring at me unblinking, as if he had a lot to say to me, or a lot to ask. ”
"But what about me? I just glared at him and turned away, never looking back at him again. Actually, I don't dare to turn back! I'm afraid to see his loss, his disappointment, his hatred. But my heart is not good, and I am dripping blood from pain!"
As the emperor spoke, the scene of that day came to his mind, as if even the heartache at that time had been repeated, and tears could not help dripping, he raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes.
"Then he ran away when he saw me, and I never saw him again, never again. ”
"Even now, when he talks to me, I can feel his rejection of me, he has a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment towards me, it's all my fault, I don't blame him. ”
The emperor narrated steadily, but he couldn't hide his difficult heart, and even his voice was full of sadness and regret. As a father, he is close to his son but has to be like a passerby, what kind of forbearance can be controlled, and how painful it is.
"He grew up in the palace, but I didn't participate in any of his growth, I didn't know what he liked, I didn't know what he hated, I didn't know who he talked to when he was happy, and I didn't know how he spent his time when he was sad and scared. I missed everything, and it also gave him memories and hurts that were completely devoid of family affection. ”
"Now that the situation is much clearer, I don't have to have so many scruples, I want to make up for him, try to clear all obstacles for him, I want to hand over the country to him, this is what I promised to Concubine Rong back then, I can't help but fulfill it. ”
"Fortunately, he is a manufacturable material, a hundred times stronger than other princes. I believe that he will be a good emperor in the future, and I can rest assured that he will be handed over to him. ”
Saying this, the emperor seemed to have said what he had always wanted to say in his heart, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
The alienation of Hetai back then was indeed to protect him, fearing that he would become a victim on the road to the throne of the crown prince. Only by making everyone feel that he has no hope and that he is not treated well by the emperor will those people not stare at him.
But this reason is actually only one of them.
Another reason is to let the queen die, not to raise Hetai in the name of Chongqi Palace.
Because Hetai was born to Concubine Rong, he must not be allowed to become someone else's son, especially the queen, so that Hetai will call a woman who killed his mother concubine as the queen mother all day long.
The emperor didn't want such a thing to happen, and Concubine Rong would never want to. Even if she died, maybe the ghosts would hate him.
As early as when Concubine Rong was just pregnant, the emperor already thought in his heart that if he gave birth to a prince, he would become the crown prince. At that time, there was no prince, as long as he was born, he was the eldest son, and it was understandable to establish a prince.
So the emperor didn't think it was inappropriate, and after thinking about it like this, he once said it in passing.
As everyone knows, such smooth words brought another disaster to Concubine Rong.
Maybe it's because of the words of the prince that the queen feels threatened, so she decided to kill Concubine Rong, and she must still want to kill two birds with one stone, and want to wait for Concubine Rong to give birth to a baby, if it is a prince, after Concubine Rong dies, she will adopt the child, and you can envelop the position of the prince and the heart of the emperor.
The so-called love house and Wu, the emperor loves Concubine Rong, and he will definitely love her children, even if it is to see the children, he will run to Chongqi Palace more.
Therefore, in order to have children, the queen used the means of harming Rong Concubine *, instead of letting people die immediately.
The queen's abacus is brilliant.
I couldn't wait to say to the emperor that I wanted to take Hetai under the name of him in the future when Concubine Rong was only seriously ill and had not yet died.
It's a pity that everyone knows her thoughts, how could the emperor not know?
Coupled with the words she said when Concubine Rong was still alive that she wanted to raise Hetai, the emperor was even more sure that she was not well-intentioned.
Because of the emperor's previous words, if the emperor agrees to her request, then Hetai will be the queen's son after arriving in Chongqi Palace, and the position of the prince will also be in the palm of the queen's hand.
The emperor knew this very well, and he had already guarded against her in his heart, and he was even more determined not to let her succeed.
But in terms of the situation at that time, it was more difficult to prevent the queen from succeeding.
The queen has no children, if Concubine Rong goes, Hetai will have no mother, and it is reasonable for the queen to want to take it to raise, and the courtiers will also support it, and the emperor has no reason to stop it.
Because of the Luo family's support behind the queen's back, even if it is the prince whose mother is alive, if the queen insists on taking it to raise, it will be difficult to stop it, but unfortunately there were only a few princesses in the emperor at that time, and there was no prince.
The emperor always has to give the Luo family some face, even if he is willing to tear his face for this matter, he has no capital to tear his face.
This did not fulfill their wishes, and who knows what tricks they will use behind them to sabotage.
Whether they are sincere or not, if they want to take power, they can only balance each other and accept each other's constraints.
In that case, it was very difficult to block, the road was blocked, and another way was to make the queen automatically dismiss the idea.
But how to dispel her thoughts, this matter seems to be even more difficult.
At this time, the emperor once found a man's hairpin in the palace of Concubine Rong.
He was moved in his heart at the time, he believed in Rong Concubine, but the appearance of this hairpin meant that someone wanted to frame Rong Concubine.
quietly hid the hairpin, and secretly sent someone to investigate, and within a few days, it was thoroughly investigated.
It turned out to be a poisonous plan of the Rou Guifei Society, but this plan was too clumsy and full of loopholes, so it was easy to find out.
Heyan is only a little older than Hetai, and Concubine Rou has a lot of motives for persecuting Concubine Rong so much.
The emperor was inspired by this incident and came up with an idea that would make the queen automatically give up adopting Hetai.
It's just that he is afraid that Concubine Rong will not agree, and it is a matter of honor, if it were not for the importance of this matter, even he himself would not choose to do this.
After thinking about it again, the emperor told Concubine Rong the truth of the matter and told her his thoughts.
At this time, Concubine Rong is getting sicker and sicker, and the most worrying thing is, of course, Hetai's future.
Although the imperial doctor did not say that it was poisoned, the emperor and Concubine Rong also tacitly felt something.
In addition, the queen had harmed her before, although she saved her life, she ruined her appearance, and she was clear about the queen's ruthlessness.
Concubine Rong is because she understands the emperor's situation, and now is not the time to turn her face with Luo, so she chose to swallow her anger for the sake of the stability of the country.
How could she, who has insight into everything, be willing to want her son to be a son to the queen?
So the emperor said it tentatively, and she agreed without thinking about it.
After the two discussed it, they made a plan, and the emperor was extremely angry, making it look like he had just discovered the hairpin, and ordered an investigation.
The results of the investigation are naturally as designed by Concubine Rou, the hairpin is the evidence of the adultery between Concubine Rong and others, and the man inadvertently left behind the crime.
In fact, it was just that the emperor pretended to fall for Concubine Rou's strategy and believed in Concubine Rong's unchastity, so he later ignored her death, so that it would be logical to happen later that he didn't like Hetai.
The name festival is so important to women, so the emperor strictly ordered this matter to be spread under the guise of resentment, but in fact, he just didn't want so many people to know, and he didn't want Concubine Rong to be misunderstood by more people.
But the emperor felt that after all, it was because of his incompetence that he made this decision, so that Concubine Rong had borne an injustice in vain, this is what he owes her, and he can't pay it back in this life, only in the next life.
In this matter, the emperor was also shaken and regretted.
Especially after Concubine Rong died, he felt even more sorry for her, she was killed, he couldn't help her avenge, and she had to lose her reputation after death.
I once had the idea of giving up, and I wanted to pamper Hetai well to make up for her.
But I am afraid that the consequences of doing so will harm Hetai.
caused him to fall into the hands of the queen and become a puppet of the Luo family in the future.
Or he is regarded as a thorn in the flesh and is trying to get rid of it.
These are not the results that the emperor wants.
