Chapter 410: Compassion
"King Cheng has made it clear that if His Majesty has been under house arrest, he will never tell the second prince what he has done!" Xiao Hanyin did not exaggerate, and directly relayed the original words he said to the emperor.
"What a king, you dare to threaten me with the matter of the second prince!" The emperor was excited, and coughed a few times.
"Your Majesty is angry!" Liu Qingshao persuaded, "Don't be angry with an unworthy person!" ”
With the emperor's current condition, he should meditate and cultivate.
"Your Majesty, you are so old, and you are still worried about everything, and you are completely hurting your own body!" Xiao Hanyin's face was full of disapproval.
He thinks that these things can be done by others, but he has always been worried about them.
"I also want to be an idle person, but there are too many things in the court!" He has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and he has been busy with the affairs of the court and politics, and he has hardly rested.
Actually, Xiao Hanyin felt that being the emperor was really tiring.
He didn't want to be an official in the court before, but he felt too tired and had no freedom.
Neither Liu Qingshao nor he wanted to be restrained.
Isn't it good to do your own thing freely all day long, why bother to worry about other people's things......
"Your Majesty, if you really don't worry about the affairs of the court, you can directly pass the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let His Highness deal with it, so that you can be quieter and take care of your body carefully!" Maybe a few more years to live.
Although Xiao Hanyin didn't say the latter sentence, the meaning of his words was already obvious.
After everyone heard Xiao Hanyin's words, their eyes were about to fall out in surprise.
The crown prince didn't come back to his senses for a while, and it was known that if he wanted to inherit the throne, he had to have his father seriously ill or die.
Now, Xiao Hanyin had no scruples about saying such a rebellious thing directly in front of them, and a trace of worry flashed in the prince's eyes.
In fact, he knew that Xiao Hanyin was thinking about his father's body.
However, this is not what these words mean to others.
"Father, Xiao Hanyin has always been open-mouthed, don't blame him!" The crown prince has no intention of competing for the throne.
Not long after he was born, he was named the crown prince.
Over the years, the emperor has been teaching him carefully.
The relationship between their father and son has always been good, and the crown prince doesn't want the emperor to feel that he can't wait to inherit his throne, but he really doesn't have the same mind.
After all, compared to the throne, he hopes that his father can live longer......
"You don't have to be nervous, I didn't blame Xiao Hanyin!" The emperor smiled.
He knew that Xiao Hanyin was telling the truth, so many ministers in the court, all of them liked to figure out his thoughts, but none of them dared to say it without scruples like Xiao Hanyin.
Xiao Hanyin never flatters, and only speaks in his heart every time.
Although his words did not sound so happy, the emperor knew that he felt that it was time for him to rest.
People are not convinced of old age, and the emperor is the same.
However, this time the wind chill was menacing, and he realized that his body was indeed not as good as before.
He used to sleep only for one or two hours in a row for a few days, and he didn't feel any discomfort.
Now, a small wind chill almost broke him.
The emperor suddenly felt that Xiao Hanyin's words made sense.
If he could, he also wanted to give the throne to the crown prince as soon as possible.
In fact, the emperor also thought about letting the crown prince manage the government, be the emperor wholeheartedly, and live for himself for a few years.
When he was young, as a prince, even if he didn't want to fight, he had to compete with King Cheng in order to protect the Bai family.
He won the king, and successfully became the king of a country, and he has been conscientiously handling state affairs over the years, in order not to let others think that he is incompetent and regret helping him defend the country.
After so many years, the emperor thought back carefully and found that it seemed that he really didn't have it, and he really lived for himself.
Every time he thought about the people and the courtiers, and worried about what was happening in the court.
Since becoming the emperor, in order to balance the harem and the previous dynasty, he didn't dare to pamper the woman he loved every day, so he could only let her stay alone in the empty room......
Now that the crown prince is in his early twenties, it is time for him to take power.
The prince's temperament is too generous, and the emperor originally wanted him to experience a few years.
However, he didn't know when he would fall, so it was better to test him while he was still healthy.
When he goes to see the first emperor one day, he can also feel at ease.
The Bai family's country cannot be destroyed in the hands of their father and son
Xiao Han secretly observed the emperor's expression, and found that what he said to him was not indifferent, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.
At the beginning, they said that as long as the crown prince ascended the throne and stabilized the world, they would be able to retire.
Therefore, Xiao Hanyin's words just now were selfish.
It is true that the emperor can't work, but it is indeed time for him to think carefully about the way forward.
Liu Qingshao pinched the sweat for Xiao Hanyin fiercely, and after seeing that the emperor didn't take this matter to heart, the guard in her eyes was finally let down.
Although she felt that what he said was very reasonable, the emperor hoped that she could live a few more years.
In case Xiao Hanyin's words angered the emperor, then they would have to come in vertically and go out horizontally......
The couple didn't stay in the palace for too long, after all, the emperor was still recuperating.
"Prince, I have decided that during my illness, you will be fully responsible for all the affairs of the court!" After careful consideration, the emperor finally listened to Xiao Hanyin's opinion. Daxia Chinese Network
Since the throne is going to be passed to him sooner or later, why not let him start handling government affairs earlier.
The crown prince was extremely surprised by this, but he still agreed, his father really needed to rest......
A few days later, the ministers of the imperial court found out the incriminating evidence of some officials and handed them over directly to the crown prince to deal with.
The emperor felt that this was a good opportunity, so he didn't interfere at all.
He wanted to test whether the prince could completely give him the instructions himself.
When the prince saw the incriminating evidence, he immediately arranged for someone to investigate.
In any case, he wanted to prove it for himself before he was convicted......
Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin were very surprised when they heard that the crown prince was in charge of the country.
Xiao Hanyin just said casually, wanting to test the emperor's reaction, but he didn't expect him to agree.
However, this is a good thing for them and for the prince.
Nowadays, there is still an emperor in the imperial court, and even if someone wants to make a stumbling block secretly, they don't dare to do it easily.
In this way, the prince can also deal with it in time.
"Qing Shao, it's time to send something to the palace in a few days, are you ready?" Xiao Hanyin has been helping the crown prince and the emperor recently, investigating the whereabouts of Chengwang's henchmen, and he is also very busy.
However, seeing that it was time for her to send tribute to the palace, Xiao Hanyin deliberately came back early and discussed these things with her.
"Tomorrow I want to deliver the prepared things myself!" Liu Qingshao nodded.
The things sent to the palace, she had prepared them early in the morning......
"Bring a few more people!" Xiao Hanyin didn't stop her, and now the palace is safe.
"Don't worry, I have so many things to send, and there will definitely be no fewer people to bring!" Liu Qingshao smiled.
Xiao Hanyin has been too busy recently, and Liu Qingshao doesn't want him to worry about his own affairs.
After all, she had done this kind of thing many times, and she basically couldn't go wrong.
At present, the emperor is still recuperating, and everything in the palace falls on the prince.
Liu Qingshao personally led people to send things over, but she didn't want the prince to work too hard.
Although he is still very young, if he doesn't pay attention, his body will not be able to carry it sooner or later.
After the two of them decided on the items at night, they went straight to rest.
The next day, when Liu Qingshao led people to send things to the palace, she overheard that the prince was in the palace today.
Liu Qingshao wanted to report to him.
As a result, when she passed, she found that someone was pleading with the prince.
"Your Highness, please spare the life of the lower official, the lower official will definitely change his past mistakes in the future, and he will definitely not do it again!" The official kept kowtowing to him.
"The laws of the imperial court have always treated everyone equally, even if you make a mistake, you will be punished!" The prince said coldly.
Everyone knows that the prince is softer than the emperor, so after many people make mistakes, they will try their best to beg him, just to have a way to live.
"Your Highness will definitely serve the court and Your Highness in the future, please give Your Highness another chance!" The man's kowtow was broken.
However, the prince did not speak.
"What's going on?" Liu Qingshao asked in a low voice after glancing at the eunuch next to her.
"This person has done a lot of bad things before, and after being found out, he should have been given a heavy sentence, but he was unwilling to die here, so he came to plead with His Royal Highness the Prince!" The eunuch knew Liu Qingshao and had just received her money.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Qingshao asked, he told the matter as it was.
"You mean, this guy should have beheaded him?" Liu Qingshao's face turned cold.
"That's right, with the bad things he did, it's enough to ask for a kill!" The eunuch said.
"In that case, why don't you detain him directly in prison and give him a chance to intercede with the prince?" Liu Qingshao felt that something was wrong.
When officials make mistakes, they are generally imprisoned.
"His crime has just been decided, and the prince has not yet ordered him to be taken to the prison!" The eunuch glanced at the prince and did not continue.
However, Liu Qingshao understood the meaning of his words.
This person must have seized the prince's indecisive temperament and wanted him to take back his fate.
Such a shameless person should not have been given a chance to escape punishment......
However, Liu Qingshao saw the hesitation in the prince's eyes, and sighed in her heart.
Could it be that the prince would really be kind to a woman in such a matter?
Liu Qingshao didn't want to see this happen.
After all, if everyone is like this official, but whenever he violates the laws of the court, he comes to the prince to intercede, then how will he govern the court in the future.
He is the future emperor, and the rewards and punishments should be clear, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.
Originally, some ministers in the court always felt that with his temperament, he was not suitable to be an emperor.
If the crown prince made a wrong decision in this kind of matter, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers, and the emperor might also be disappointed in him.
For innocent people, if he is moved by compassion, everyone can still understand.
However, for an official who has committed a crime, not only can he not be soft-hearted, but he should also be severely punished, otherwise how to subdue the people.
After Liu Qingshao remembered what Xiao Hanyin had said to him before, she walked straight to the prince......
