Chapter 168: Seeing fame and fortune as floating clouds
He is working harder and harder, and his sons are still intriguing, and Xiao is already tired thinking about the throne.
Therefore, he wanted Shen Qianchen to become the crown prince and help him deal with court affairs, after all, among all the princes, his ability is the most prominent.
When the Great Qi Dynasty is handed over to him, he can rest assured.
However, Shen Qianchen has always regarded fame and fortune as floating clouds, and is not interested in the throne at all.
The emperor has been supporting, and while cultivating other princes, he sent people to find Shen Qianchen......
When Bai Linxia came back from the shop, Shen Qianchen had already left.
After she saw the note that Shen Qianchen left for herself, her mood instantly became very low.
Since he regained his identity, every time he came and went, they didn't get together properly at all.
For this reason, Bai Linxia had the idea of going to Qidu, but unfortunately was stopped by Shen Qianchen.
Bai Linxia put the note in the dark compartment of the desk, took the letter he usually wrote, and read it over and over again.
Missing is the most torturous, and Bai Linxia experienced the bitterness in his feelings.
She has always felt that if the relationship between husband and wife is good, they can grow old together smoothly.
It's a pity that although her and Shen Qianchen's love path is not bumpy, their identities are very different, which has become an incentive to prevent them from getting together.
At this time, Bai Linxia didn't know that the emperor actually wanted to see her, and he didn't even care about her identity at all, as long as Shen Qianchen was willing to stay in the palace, the emperor was willing to accept her.
However, Shen Qianchen had already discovered his father's thoughts, so he didn't want to go to Qidu in vain to risk it......
After Shen Qianchen returned to the palace, he found that the emperor was really sick this time, and he didn't want to deliberately exaggerate his illness like before, wanting to keep him.
"Father, how do you feel?" After Shen Qianchen arrived at his dormitory, he immediately checked his pulse, and found that his body needed to rest and recuperate, and he couldn't be stimulated too much, otherwise he would be prone to anger.
"I'm old!" The emperor's face was full of emotion, "Although I have always felt that I can hold on for a few more years, it is a pity that time flies, and people finally can't compete for the sky!" ”
"Erchen prescribes a prescription for you, and after taking it, your father's illness will be cured after a few days of resting!" Shen Qianchen heard the meaning of his words and subconsciously changed the topic.
"Emperor, my father is old and needs an heir!" The emperor looked at him with burning eyes and said.
"Several imperial brothers are very good, as long as the father and emperor speak, they will be willing to share your worries!" Shen Qianchen showed his mind without a trace.
He has no interest in the throne!
"The society must be handed over to capable people, and my father hopes that you and other emperors will show their strengths!" The throne is inhabited by capable people, although the emperor wants to support him as the crown prince.
It's a pity that Shen Qianchen didn't agree to anything, so he had to think of another way.
"Father, the only thing that can be used by the sons and daughters is medical skills!" Shen Qianchen always insisted on his own ideas and was unwilling to compromise.
If he wanted this position, he wouldn't have left alone.
"Can the emperor bear it, and his father works hard for the affairs of the court every day?" The emperor had already guessed that he would refuse.
However, no one can refuse what he wants to do.
"Father, you know what your sons mean, why do you want to be reluctant, I think several royal brothers are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are worthy of great responsibility!" Shen Qianchen rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes overflowing with exhaustion.
Since returning to the palace, he has been living a very depressed day, and this is not the day he wants.
Bai Linxia had already occupied his heart, and he was not here......
"I am your father, I know your personality and abilities very well, if they can really entrust me with important tasks, why do I work so hard!" The emperor sighed.
Unlike other emperors, he wanted to keep power firmly in his own hands, on the contrary, he was very willing to delegate power and exercise their will and ability.
However, although the other princes have their own strengths, they are all slightly inferior to Shen Qianchen.
Obviously, there is a better choice, so he naturally will not designate the prince at will.
Therefore, the position of the crown prince has been vacant all these years, and he is waiting for Shen Qianchen to return.
"The eldest brother and the third emperor brother have their own merits!" If Shen Qianchen hadn't been hindered by his body, he would have directly said that he would have chosen the crown prince in his mind.
"They are too ambitious compared to you, and they don't know enough about the suffering of the people!" Water can carry boats and capsize boats, and the people are the foundation of the Great Qi Dynasty.
The eldest prince Wen Taowu is good, but his temperament is too cunning, and he is deep-minded, such a temperament can become the lord of the world, but he may not be able to seek the well-being of the people.
The third prince is more gentle than the others, but in terms of cultural and martial arts, he is not as good as the eldest prince.
He thought about it, and every time he couldn't help but think of Shen Qianchen, because he had the points of the eldest prince and the third prince, but he had no ambition......
Shen Qianchen was already familiar with the temperament of the two imperial brothers.
As soon as he returned to the palace, the third prince had attacked him, but he avoided it.
Afterwards, Shen Qianchen secretly designed it, causing him to lose a large amount of silver, and also eliminated several of his henchmen in the court and replaced them with talented people.
Those who replaced him have always been loyal to him and want to make him the crown prince.
"My father won't force you, as long as you can share some political affairs for your father in the future, so that I can relax for a few days!" Seeing that he didn't let go, the emperor had to take a step back.
"Good!" This request Shen Qianchen could not refuse.
After all, it was his biological father, and Shen Qianchen had to take care of his body.
In the next few days, he has been helping the emperor deal with political affairs, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have begun to plan.
After Shen Qianchen appeared in the court openly, the emperor announced his return.
The ministers knew that the emperor loved him very much, and they wanted to assist him.
However, Shen Qianchen closed the door and stayed in the palace.
"They all really support you, why should the emperor refuse to be thousands of miles away!" He has never given up in his heart the idea of letting Shen Qianchen succeed to the throne.
"Father, the sons don't have that mind, they don't want to get involved in the political struggle, so why give them hope!" At the beginning, Shen Qianchen just didn't want to deal with those things, so he chose to leave.
"People in the world want to be the lord of the world, but the emperor disdains it!" The emperor looked helpless.
"The retainers have a loose temperament and like to live an unrestrained life, and the palace is not suitable for the retainers!" Since Shen Qianchen was born, he has been living as an ordinary person, and his mother has never told him about his background.
If the emperor hadn't found their mother and son, they wouldn't have returned to the palace at all.
His mother had experienced cruel palace fights and had always resisted the days of intrigue in the palace, so she took him to collect medicine for a living.
At that time, his grandfather was the imperial physician of the court, and the doctor was superb and trusted by the emperor.
Shen Qianchen's mother was quite famous when she was in the boudoir, and when she attended the palace banquet, the emperor inadvertently saw her and never forgot her.
However, his grandfather had no intention of letting his daughter enter the palace as a concubine, after all, the emperor already had a queen of the main palace at that time.
However, before his mother was married, the emperor personally issued an order to bring her into the palace.
Two years later, his grandfather was framed, and the Shen family collapsed overnight......
Her mother, with the help of her confidants, escaped from the palace and lived an ordinary life.
Although the emperor tried his best to find out the truth, it was a pity that all the men of the Shen family were exiled, and Shen Qianchen's grandfather hanged himself at home to prove his innocence, and his grandmother also left.
The exile of the Shen family's descendants, the disappearance of the missing, the once prosperous Shen family, only that gorgeous mansion remained.
Even if it was back then, the emperor was helpless, after all, under the conclusive evidence, he had to take action against the Shen family.
Afterwards, he also tried his best to return the innocence of the Shen family, but his mother was still estranged in her heart and was reluctant to return to the palace......
Over the years, the emperor has always cared about their mother and son, and wants to save everything, but unfortunately it is difficult to recover.
Shen Qianchen knew the truth, but he couldn't hate him, after all, the Shen family was framed by the emperor's own brother and had nothing to do with him.
Therefore, his father-son relationship with the emperor has always been good......
A few days later, there were more and more courtiers who wanted to visit Shen Qianchen.
They came to the door several times, but he didn't want to avoid it all the time.
So, Shen Qianchen met with them in person, and euphemistically expressed his decision to be the prince, so that they didn't have to bother planning for themselves.
The ministers were disappointed, but they did not give up.
They felt that Shen Qianchen would figure it out sooner or later, after all, the throne represented the supreme right, and almost no one could refuse its temptation.
In Shen Qianchen's prince's mansion, people came to visit him every day, which made him unbearable, but he couldn't directly turn people away, after all, they all really wanted to push him to the throne.
When the emperor learned that he did not like to deal with the ministers of the court, he specially prepared a banquet to celebrate his return.
Before the establishment of the crown prince, Shen Qianchen has always been the most suitable candidate for the prince in his mind.
At this palace banquet, the emperor wanted to secretly observe their performance.
After all, Shen Qianchen promised him that even if he didn't become the crown prince, he would assist the next emperor and let the Great Qi Dynasty continue to prosper.
Therefore, no matter who is the crown prince, he will not leave Qidu.
However, the emperor did not reveal anything about this matter.
His agreement with Shen Qianchen was just to keep him temporarily, and as for other things, variables would happen before the dust settled......
At the palace banquet, as soon as he appeared, he became the focus of attention.
Shen Qianchen is handsome and dusty, dressed in white like an immortal, and some of the ladies who participated in the banquet are secretly inquiring whether he is married.
He left for five years and returned alone, and many people wanted to marry their daughter to him, after all, he was the most favored by the emperor among all the princes, and he was also the most capable one.
If he can marry his daughter to him, he will probably become the emperor's father-in-law in the future......
Shen Qianchen turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze and did what belonged to him.
"It's been five years, I didn't expect the seventh brother to come back suddenly, I'm very happy for my brother!" The eldest prince took the lead and came over and tested him everywhere on the grounds of toasting.
"Thank you, Brother Emperor, I haven't seen Brother Huang a lot in five years!" Shen Qianchen could see at a glance that he was not at ease.
This person is very ambitious, and he has been learning from the camp, wanting to win the crown prince and become the emperor in the future.
However, the saint never set up a prince, and he was unhappy in his heart, but he could only hibernate.
The eldest prince is like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, and it is easy to be bitten by him if you are not careful.
"For my brother's knees, how can it be the same when I have both children under my brother's knees!" A hint of provocation flashed in the eldest prince's eyes.
After he knew that Shen Qianchen had a relationship with Bai Linxia, he had been mocking him in his heart.
As a royal family, bloodline is very important, and if you don't have a son-in-law, you can't become a prince at all......
