Wei Changjue then said: "Father, please listen to the words of the son, although there are some unsatisfactory places in the back, but it is not the fault of the second emperor brother, and it is common for the people below to be greedy for merit, and it is also common for the yang to serve the yin." ”

Those words just now were all good things for Wei Changyuan on the surface, but the emperor heard other meanings in his words.

The sentence "Guifei Niangniang points from the side" sounds very strange, Ying Guifei is a harem concubine, why should she instruct a prince what to do, and "the people below are greedy for merit", the cause and effect is not because the people above want to be greedy for merit.

But the emperor looked over, Wei Changjue's eyebrows and eyes were sincere and gentle, what he looked like on weekdays, what he looked like when he said this, the emperor felt that he had seen many people, and he could see through their hearts at a glance, but in the face of this son, he was suddenly a little uncertain.

But he would rather believe that it is not that he is not sure, but that Wei Changjue is such a peaceful and kind person, and those words come from the heart, so he does not say them perfectly.

The emperor said: "So, you support Changyuan as the crown prince?" ”

Wei Changjue said quite seriously: "Erchen is not supportive, Erchen is just biased in his heart. After all, the retainers walked in the court, and they had a lot of knowledge and knew what to do to benefit Dashun. The Second Emperor's demeanor is indeed a little too much at times, but at least the idea is good. ”

After a pause, he added two sentences sincerely, "In fact, for the sons, there is only one person who supports them in their hearts, and that is the father." The queen mother once taught her sons that no matter what kind of things they face, what kind of power or benefits are in front of them, they must put their father and emperor first. ”

If Wei Changqi's previous words made the emperor laugh, then Wei Changjue's words made the emperor's eyebrows and eyes stretch.

Wei Changze was disdainful in his heart, thinking that Wei Changjue was like this, but he was just patting his father's ass, and he didn't have a word of truth at all, and the person he helped to say good things was Wei Changyuan, who had always been unable to get along with Prince Gong's mansion, so spineless, no wonder his father never faked his colors to him.

However, this time, the imperial power was threatened in a sense, and the emperor was more looking forward to seeing some people who stood by him unconditionally, of course among the ministers, but if the sons could have a thought for their father, he would also feel that it was not in vain.

Wei Changjue undoubtedly became the only son who "thought for his father", and the emperor sighed and said: "Your mother taught you well, but it's a pity that ......"

The queen's nickname has actually been decided, and now everyone calls it "Empress Cikang", but when Wei Changjue said it, he still shouted "Queen Mother", and the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of correcting it.

In his heart, except for his wife, there is really no one who can be the queen of Dashun.

Wei Changjue lowered his head, "The son Xie Father praised the Emperor, and the teachings of the Queen Mother really dare not forget it for a day." ”

The emperor glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Empress Cikang's sacrifice day is coming, do you still remember those of you who are sons and courtiers?" ”

Wei Changze was stunned, he didn't know why he suddenly fell on Empress Cikang, this person had disappeared from his life, and he didn't really shed a tear even during the funeral period, how could he remember the sacrifice day at this time?

Just when he didn't know what to say or do, Wei Changyin suddenly stood up and said, "Father, the son has something to do." ”

"Say."

Wei Changyin said solemnly: "When the queen mother was alive, she often took care of her sons, although her biological mother died early, but she inherited the love of her mother, and her sons were literate and literate, and they built a house to marry their wives, and none of them were left behind. ”

The emperor nodded, "If you have a heart, go directly to the temple and burn it to her when the time comes." Then he looked at the others with emotion, "See? This is my good son, I know that I remember the sacrifice day of my mother-in-law, and some of you can't even remember when Empress Cikang died, and you keep saying that you are the so-called national foundation, do you still have any respect for me and this heavenly family? ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers all knew that today would not be the case, and Lord Yi was so frightened that his heart jumped, and the first one knelt down and shouted, "The minister is disrespectful to Empress Cikang, and the minister is guilty." And Wei Changze was stunned for a moment, knelt down, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Disrespecting the Empress is equivalent to disrespecting the Emperor, his mother has not yet climbed to the precious throne, where can he be presumptuous in front of the former Empress?

The emperor's gaze was fixed on him, and he said calmly: "Chang Ze, you have disappointed me very much. ”

In just one sentence, like the five thunders that hit the top, things have come to this point inexplicably, and Wei Changze can come back to his senses - I am afraid that the matter of establishing a prince is too urgent.

didn't have time to think about it, he could only kowtow and begged: "Father's words, my son can't stand it, please take it back." Erchen has great respect for Empress Cikang! ”

The emperor said lightly: "If I say a word, you can't stand it, just now, how many words did you, and these ministers, say?" Should I take it? ”

Wei Changze lowered his head, didn't even have the strength to swallow a saliva, and almost collapsed and said: "Father, Erchen didn't mean that, Erchen just ......"

The emperor no longer gave him a chance to speak, and interrupted indifferently, "No matter what you mean, you covet the East Palace, it is undeniable. Changze, do you know what it means to covet the East Palace? It means that you are coveting this dragon chair where I am sitting! ”

Wei Changze hurriedly slammed his head on the ground in a hurry, and his voice trembled, "Erchen doesn't dare, please calm your father's anger!" ”

The emperor ignored him, but swept around the trembling ministers and asked, "What about you?" You also have a fancy for this dragon chair of mine? ”

The ministers hurriedly knelt down, this is a crime of extinction, and there were words in the hall one after another, such as "the ministers don't dare" and "the emperor is angry", Wei Changze also knelt there, knowing that this time, he was "losing".

The emperor did not chase and fight, and in the end only left a sentence of "the matter of establishing the prince will be discussed later", and then withdrew from the court.

Wei Changze's clothes were drenched with sweat, and the ministers who followed him didn't look at him at this time, he slowly stood up, watched the main hall of Qianming Palace become empty, and watched those people retreat like a tide, but suddenly thought of something, strode forward to catch up with Wei Changjue, and said coldly: "Third Emperor Brother, just now in front of my father, your words are really good." ”

Wei Changjue smiled, "Thank you." ”

Wei Changze wasn't praising him, but he just said it like this, as if he didn't hear the slightest bit of sarcasm, so angry that Wei Changze wanted to beat people, but how could he do it outside the Qianming Palace, he could only sneer, "This matter is not over, the fourth emperor brother don't think that he will be at ease from now on, don't you recommend the second emperor brother, be careful that the father will really do what you want." ”

Wei Changjue spread his hands, "As I wish, isn't it just right?" I don't lie in front of my father, and the recommendation I just made came from the heart. After a pause, he seemed to be very curious and asked, "Could it be that what the Fourth Emperor's brother just said was to coax his father, so he thought that everyone was like you, and what he said was all a lie?" ”

Wei Changze was angry, and when he went up, he grabbed Wei Changjue's collar, he and this brother are close in age and size, at this moment his eyes were full of anger, and his momentum seemed to overwhelm the other party, but Wei Changjue just looked at him fixedly, not sad, happy or angry, so that his fist could not fall for a long time.

His Royal Highness King Gong will always be this calm appearance, but as long as he speaks and behaves, he can suppress people invisibly.

During the stalemate, a hand reached out next to him and grabbed Wei Changze, "That's enough." ”

Listening to the voice, he knew who it was, Wei Changze said angrily: "Second brother, don't stop me, I have to beat him today." ”

"Do you dare?"

No one expected that these three words would come out of the mouths of Wei Changjue and Wei Changyuan at the same time.

Wei Changze was stunned, and Wei Changjue and Wei Changyuan glanced at each other, and opened their mouths leisurely, "This is outside the Qianming Palace, our disputes are under the nose of my father, if you dare to fall this fist, it is the crime of murder in the palace, don't mention what the prince is not the prince at that time, whether the title of 'King Yu' can be worn on the head is a question." ”

Wei Changze's face turned red, and in the end, Wei Changyuan sighed and gave a step, "Fourth brother, let go, no matter what, there must be no conflict in the palace." Listen to me, let go immediately. ”

Wei Changze's hand finally let go slowly. But the next moment, he shook off Wei Changyuan's hand that stretched out and was about to pat him on the shoulder, and said: "The second brother and the third emperor brother are really in good spirits, and it is just enough to blurt out the same words, even the crown prince, the third emperor brother will give it to you." ”

Wei Changyuan couldn't hold his face, and said with a cold face: "What is 'giving up'?" The third emperor brother said that he was biased in his heart, and he didn't recommend anyone. Changze, don't make trouble here, go out of the palace with me. ”

Wei Changze was like a wild horse on the loose, not subject to any restraint at all, and even more unscrupulous, "Second brother, what am I messing with?" Today's incident was originally a minister's nomination of a candidate for the crown prince, and it was just a matter of his father's disagreement, there was no need to make everyone lose face, everything changed from the time his father asked him. ”

He pointed at Wei Changjue's nose, "You did it on purpose, you deliberately pulled the matter on Empress Cikang, and the six emperor brothers, helping to abuse it, it's really not a thing!" What about the Sixth Emperor Brother?! ”

As he spoke, he stretched his neck and shouted, as if he had to call someone over and scold him to relieve the hatred in his heart, but Wei Changyuan had already held his shoulder and shouted in a deep voice: "Changze, it's really enough." ”

Wei Changze saw that he was really angry, and finally restrained himself a little, but he still muttered: "Today, it was put together by the two of them, and the second brother didn't help me get angry, but said that mine was not, go to the concubine and see how to explain." ”

"Mother concubine, you are full of mother concubines, can't you leave her children? Even if you are put on the table, it is someone else's ability, you fall into the trap, and you still want to shout to the whole world?! Wei Changyuan was really angry, he was in the main hall before, he held his breath, and when he came out, he saw him making a mistake here, and he felt deeply ashamed, and he couldn't even care about Wei Changjue on the side, and splitting his head and covering his face was accusation.

But Wei Changze has been proud of the spring breeze for so long, and now he can't bear the scolding of his brother, and said loudly: "Yes, yes, you are the proud son of the mother's concubine, and I am an ignorant child." Second brother, don't you feel that you are becoming more and more dismissive of brotherhood? Obviously, there are others here, you don't say that you are always external, but you want to target me. ”

Wei Changjue said lightly: "Am I considered an outsider?" The four emperor brothers are all brothers, why be so favoritism. ”

Wei Changze turned his head abruptly, "Third Emperor Brother, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”

Wei Changjue smiled coldly, "What's the matter, the fourth emperor brother is addicted, thinking that he is already the master of Qianming Palace, and he doesn't even let people speak?" ”

He took a step closer, his clothes had already been cleaned up when the two brothers were arguing, and he was a gentle and elegant son, but the words he said made Wei Changze's heart angry.

"Fourth Emperor Brother, I am too eager to be a man and do things, and I often don't get any benefits, you see that the Second Emperor Brother knows how to be calm and sophisticated, even if I can't be the prince, I will never want Dashun to be handed over to someone like you." Then he looked at Wei Changyuan, "Second Emperor Brother, I hope that in the future, you can restrain Changze and don't let him come out to toss again, it is really a loss of face for Changfu Palace and Qi Palace." ”

"You!" Wei Changze jumped like thunder, but was stopped by Wei Changyuan, as Wei Changjue said, he couldn't let Wei Changze be embarrassed here, so he could only block it while saying with a straight face, "Third Emperor Brother, this is my business, please leave first." ”

Wei Changjue nodded, didn't care about Wei Changze's jumping appearance at all, and turned to leave.

Wei Changze stared at the back and said angrily: "Second brother, what are you stopping me from, if you don't beat him today, I'm unwilling!" ”

Wei Changyuan grabbed him by the collar, and the two of them seemed to reenact the scene of Fang Cai, "Changze, I warn you, be quiet, calm down immediately, otherwise I, who is my brother, will beat you here, and after the beating, we will go together to confess our mistakes to our father." ”

Wei Changze muttered, "This is unfair, I didn't provoke it at all, it's obviously the third ......"

"Not counting what you provoked? I watched you chase him ......" Wei Changyuan was about to refute back, when he suddenly saw Gonggong Liu rushing over and was busy talking. I saw him smiling, saluting himself, and saying, "Fortunately, the two highnesses didn't go far, and the minions don't have to chase after them." ”

Wei Changyuan said: "But my father has something to order?" ”

Gonggong Liu lowered his head, "Exactly." The emperor said that the two highnesses may not be very innocent, so it is best to go to Changfu Palace to calm down and let the concubine Niangniang help sort out her thoughts. Then he smiled again, "This is the emperor's dictation, the servant just has a word, please forgive your highness." ”

Wei Changyuan hurriedly said, "Thank you, father-in-law." Please ask your father-in-law to return to his father: Erchen will take his fourth brother to Changfu Palace. ”
