Chapter 033: The Prince's Past
The voice of Emperor Qingyuan's question sounded, and the hall was quiet for a moment, and the needle drop could be heard.
Emperor Qingyuan stared at Qin Ze, who was opposite the hundred officials, and saw that he stood calmly, calm and resolute.
I suddenly remembered that four years ago, at such a court meeting, Qin Ze and hundreds of officials faced each other.
At that time, Qin Ze was still young and young, and although he was calm in the face of the constant questioning of hundreds of officials, his eyes inevitably revealed a trace of panic.
Even so, Qin Ze was still calm and firm, and he was never shaken by the criticism from all sides.
Four years ago, at a court meeting after Qin Ze returned from Yangzhou, he proposed to resign from the post of head of the Xuehai Rafting Palace.
I still remember that Qin Ze claimed that he was still young at that time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of leading the students of the world, so he implored him to choose another person with high moral integrity to take charge.
Emperor Qingyuan was very satisfied with Qin Ze as the crown prince but knew how to be humble and let him advance and retreat, and at that moment Long Yan was happy: "The sea boat palace is the birthday gift I gave the prince, and this person in charge said that the prince deserves it, and that is what he deserves." ”
One sentence blocked Qin Ze's back road, and later Emperor Qingyuan was quite guilty.
Regarding the resignation of the Xuehai Rafting Palace, Qin Ze, as the crown prince, confronted hundreds of officials in the court for the first time.
In the face of the constant questioning of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, Qin Ze resisted with difficulty.
At the court meeting for several days in a row, the focus of the hundred officials was on this matter, and there were some dissuasions, attacks, and disappointments to Qin Ze.
However, Qin Ze insisted on going his own way, exhausted but did not retreat.
Seven days later, Qin Ze fell ill with high fever and no longer went to court, and Emperor Qingyuan personally went to visit.
Through a few days of confrontation between courtiers, Emperor Qingyuan had deeply felt Qin Ze's determination, but he still didn't understand why Qin Ze was so resolute.
Qin Ze has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, sensitive and studious, and in the year of his eighth birthday, Emperor Qingyuan personally gave him the opportunity to learn the sea boating palace.
The original intention was to encourage Qin Ze with "the road to the mountain of books, and the endless hard work of the sea of learning", and at the same time to provide Qin Ze with an opportunity to contact students all over the world and learn and progress together with students all over the world.
But I don't want to learn the fierce development trend of the Sea Rafting Palace, under the leadership of Qin Ze, but in just one or two years, it has become famous and well-known in the Great Qi Kingdom.
As a father, it is a relief to see that his son is excellent.
But as the king of a country, the prince is strong, and it is inevitable that someone will advise him in his ear.
Emperor Qingyuan didn't care much about the voice of exhortation, first, he was in the prime of life, prosperous in the spring and autumn, and controlled the situation inside and outside the court; Moreover, the prince was raised by him personally, and he has enough trust in the prince.
However, after all, the words of advice were like a thorn in the heart, and as the more famous the Xuehai Rafting Palace became, the thorn became more and more difficult to ignore.
Qin Ze's resignation was actually quite confusing to Emperor Qingyuan.
Therefore, taking the opportunity of visiting the sick, the father and son talked frankly and thoroughly all night.
Qin Ze said frankly that he understood Emperor Qingyuan's painstaking efforts to learn the sea boating palace.
In the past few years, he has learned a wealth of knowledge from many famous teachers, and has also met many students, and they have learned from each other and made great progress.
However, with the growing growth of the Xuehai Rafting Palace, Qin Ze found that he was gradually unable to control it, and he felt uncontrollable.
He is still young, and there is still a lot of knowledge to learn, and it is good to be able to discuss progress with students from all over the world, but if the students of the world take him as the leader and place high hopes on him, it is beyond his current ability.
"Father, the son is just a prince, and he can't bear the heavy responsibility of leading the students of the world." Qin Ze's face was flushed, and his eyes were sincere, "Erchen just wants to devote himself to study under the protection of his father, and ask his father to fulfill it." ”
Emperor Qingyuan felt Qin Ze's heartfelt admiration, and he was relieved for a while, but he couldn't cry or laugh.
It is gratifying that Qin Ze has never had undue thoughts because of the support of his students, and understands that he still has a long way to go, and he is worthy of being a prince carefully cultivated by him.
What I can't laugh at is that now Qin Ze and the hundred officials are in trouble with each other, and they have to think about how to clean up the stall for him.
The next day, he went to court.
Emperor Qingyuan bitterly reprimanded Qin Ze for living up to the emperor's heart, and decided to close the Xuehai Rafting Palace, and the matter was revealed and must not be mentioned again.
As soon as Emperor Qingyuan's words came out, it was rumored inside and outside the court that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince, and the people who stood on the opposite side of the prince were secretly happy, and many people who supported the prince began to waver.
Of course, there are still court officials and nobles who unswervingly stand on the side of the prince, and they are the most worried group.
As a result, the crown prince's prestige plummeted.
Drawing his thoughts back to the court hall, Emperor Qingyuan looked at Qin Ze.
Whether it was him four years ago or him today, he was satisfied with Emperor Qingyuan.
Nonsense!
In the face of the support and praise of students all over the world, he can still not be carried away, clear his own positioning, and know how to retreat bravely.
This wisdom was obviously inherited from his father.
How satisfied you are with your son, how unhappy you are with the officials who questioned it.
It wasn't enough to beep for so long four years ago, and now that a palace is being demolished and built, can you still take it out and take it out, is it too idle on weekdays?
Emperor Qingyuan moved his gaze to the two officials, and asked again: "Are the two Aiqing in doubt?" ”
Questioning Emperor Qingyuan again, the two officials did not dare to be silent any longer, glanced at each other, lowered their heads and said, "There is no doubt about the ministers. ”
"The rest of Aiqing, but who else has doubts?"
Emperor Qingyuan's eyes swept over everyone, and he simply asked clearly, saving him from going back and worrying about him again.
The hundred officials were silent, and although the several princes standing on the side had different expressions, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
It's not the same way.
Emperor Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and waved his hand to retreat.
Hundreds of officials departed.
The last ones who walked in the end were Qin Ze and the four imperial brothers.
They are the second prince Qin Xu, the third prince Qin Hao, the fourth prince Qin Yu and the fifth prince Qin Rui.
The third prince, Qin Hao, asked directly: "Where is the royal brother who learns to sail on the sea plan to use it after it is demolished?" ”
The rest of the princes casually pricked up their ears.
Qin Ze smiled lightly: "We'll know in a few days." ”
"If the imperial brother needs land," the second prince Qin Xu seemed worried, "The imperial brother can also help a little, so why bother to learn the sea boating palace?" I'm afraid it's hard to stop the quarrel between the officials and the students. ”
Qin Ze thanked, "It's okay." ”
The crowd chatted a few more times before they dispersed.
Qin Xu walked slowly at the end and went to Concubine Hui's Yonghe Palace.
When Concubine Hui saw Qin Xu coming, she hurriedly summoned someone to serve Qin Xu's favorite tea and snacks, and pulled him to sit down with a smile: "Mother Concubine heard that today's Yanguan impeached the prince for demolishing and building the Xuehai Boating Palace?" ”
Qin Xu drank tea, and his narrow phoenix eyes had a gloating look: "Not bad." After we released the news, two officials will announce this matter in the court today. ”
When Concubine Hui heard this, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is your father's attitude?" ”
