Chapter 61: Temptation

"Does that mean to know the emperor's mind?" Feng Shangchen stared at his tentative inquiry, his eyes like a falcon staring at its prey, for fear of missing a single detail.

The struggle for imperial power has always been cruel, and in addition to ensuring Feng Nanqi's safety, he also has to prevent others from killing each other.

Because they are all his flesh and blood.

This kind of people who live under the right can feel the preciousness of family affection more, but such precious feelings are very fragile in the face of power.

He admitted that before Feng Nanqi came to this world, he had tried his best to be impartial and clear in rewards and punishments, but then the balance in his heart did begin to tilt one-sidedly.

Regardless of which child the parents show affection for, the others will feel hurt. At this point, neither he nor Lan Luoshuang did a good job.

But the guilt for the other five children is far less than the child in front of him, everyone thinks that he is the chosen one, and he will definitely be able to sit firmly on the throne, but the result depends on his thoughts.

"Erchen didn't dare to speak."

Since he came in, he has been bowing and not daring to get up, nor daring to look directly into Feng Shangchen's eyes.

"You say yes, my father won't blame you."

Feng Shangchen frowned, feeling that these things were vulgar, but thinking about it, he also felt that this kind of thing would indeed fall into people's hands as soon as he said it.

"This ......" Feng Nan intended to sway between saying and not saying, and there was a little more entanglement in his handsome eyebrows.

"The mother concubine once told her sons that she longed for the world outside the red-walled palace. Now the mother concubine ...... Seriously ill, his father hoped that his son could supervise the country for a period of time, and wait for his mother's health to improve before taking control of the government. ”

Seriously ill and getting better.

Feng Shangchen smiled, the two of them knew that this was impossible, but they just deceived themselves by taking care of their faces and not letting each other be sad.

"Yi'er is indeed smart, my father has valued you very much since I was a child, and this time I don't want to disappoint my father."

Feng Nanyi lowered his head a little after hearing this, indicating his fear of Feng Shangchen's words.

Feng Shangchen stared at him and spoke after a moment.

"Yi'er, look into the eyes of your father."

Feng Nanyi raised his head, there was no trace of humility in his eyes, and what was passed to Feng Shangchen's eyes was the pride that penetrated into his bones.

One is the pride of being born a royal man.

He had seen it in the eyes of other children, but the big ones were well disguised, and the small ones didn't really understand.

The pride in Feng Nanyi's eyes was different from others, and there was a little more humility and indifference in his eyes.

A humble gentleman, humble and self-shepherd.

This is also the place where Feng Shangchen has always appreciated him the most, not arrogant, not impatient, neither humble nor arrogant.

If there is no Feng Nanqi, he is definitely a good piece of material to be an emperor.

"You tell your father what you really think, and you are not allowed to deceive in any way."

Feng Shangchen finally chose to ask directly, and there was nothing faster than asking directly in person.

"Erchen understands."

Feng Nanyi saluted again, then straightened up to look him in the eye.

The tall figure stood there like that, and there was no fear in the clean eyes.

"Do you think you can do it?"

Faced with Feng Shangchen's inquiry, Feng Nanyi was silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth.

"The dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying. The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified. The falcon tries its wings, and the wind and dust are sucked up. The first child of a strange flower, the emperor.

The cadres will be hairy, and there will be a man. The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow. Through the ages, there are eight wildernesses. The future is like the sea, and the future is long.

This is what my father once told me, and my son remembers it vividly. Erchen thinks he can take on this important responsibility. ”

This is the content of Liang Qichao's "Young China Says", which is a passage that Feng Nanyi said to him when he was very young, I didn't expect him to be able to remember so much.

Feng Shangchen's mood suddenly became much happier, and he was no longer angry for the girl who was angry. The young man in front of him has what he used to be, and he has ambitions no less than those in Feng Nanqi's heart.

"So, do you want to be emperor? Sit in my place. ”

The second question followed, and Feng Nanyi immediately knelt down after listening to it.

"Erchen doesn't dare."

Feng Shangchen smiled helplessly, "I didn't blame you, you got up and spoke." ”

Feng Nanyi stood up, but did not answer the question for a long time. Feng Shangchen understood it and asked one last question.

"What if this throne isn't yours in the end?"

The temptation in the words is clear, and it is knocking on the gap between father and son little by little.

"Yi'er once remembered that his father said to his sons, 'A gentleman's trip is to cultivate oneself quietly, to cultivate virtue through frugality, not to be indifferent and not to have clear ambitions, and not to be quiet and not to go far.'

He also warned his sons and ministers that the way to govern the country should be not to be happy with things and not to be sad with oneself. Do not rejoice in reputation, do not destroy anger. Don't be tempted by reputation, don't be afraid of slander. Don't deceive yourself with any selfish interests, and don't burden yourself with any selfish desires. The worries of the world should be worried, and the joy of the world should be happy.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat; Do more to raise the boat with the goodness of the rising tide, and do not do the action of falling out of the water; If there is no water, there is no boat, and if there are no people, there is no world.

This world is the world of many people and not the world of one person, so if he can be a wise monarch like his father, his son has no complaints and is willing to do his best. ”

His eyes were unwavering, without any flickering.

Feng Shangchen nodded with satisfaction, and the approval in his eyes was undisguised.

"I remember that you were young and I said it, and you can remember it so clearly."

"The father's teachings must be remembered by the sons."

The smile on the corner of Feng Shangchen's mouth couldn't hide it, but the better Feng Nanyi was, the more obvious the uneasiness in his heart became.

"You can take a break for the time being, and then discuss it when the second minister and General Lu arrive."

"No."

Mo Yo passed another half tea time, and General Lu and the two prime ministers also rushed over. After they got Feng Shangchen's permission, they sat in the position that Feng Shangchen specially prepared for them.

"I have summoned you here today to discuss matters concerning the Great Prince's Prison Country." Feng Shangchen didn't hide it, and said it frankly.

"Although the eldest prince has not yet reached the crown, he is old enough to try to supervise the country, and I hope you will support him a lot this time."

"Holy Lord, please let me go." At this time, Su Youxiang opened his mouth, and the beard on his face grew sparsely.

"Please."

"It's okay for the eldest prince to supervise the country, but what is the reason for this prison? Now everyone in Lancheng knows that the queen is seriously ill, if the emperor ignores the government and ministers at this time, I am afraid that the rumors will not be conducive to Your Majesty! ”

Feng Shangchen thought about it for a while, and what Su Xiang said was not reasonable. It was supposed to be outrageous for the practice of monogamy, and when the law was first introduced, all the spearheads were aimed at Lan Luoshuang. said that she was a demon girl who messed up the country and was in trouble.

Although more than ten years have passed, I have to prevent some villains from getting in the way.
