In the imperial study, Yuan Hong and Rencheng Wang Yuancheng sat opposite each other. The room was silent, only the sound of boiling tea in the small stove.

Yuan Hong or Xian Yuancheng opened his mouth: "Uncle Huang, what can that rebel say?" ”

Yuan Cheng didn't answer the question, but only asked Yuan Hong: "Your Majesty, do you really want to depose the crown prince?" ”

After all, Yuan Hong was tired of carriage and horses, and he looked tired, and said: "My edict has been issued, how can it be child's play?" ”

Hearing Yuan Hong's words, Yuan Cheng replied: "When the minister detained the prince and returned to the palace that day, the prince cried bitterly, only saying that the monarch's father favored the king of Changshan and fled to Pingcheng just to protect himself..."

Before Yuan Cheng could speak, Yuan Hong said sullenly: "What nonsense! I treat Zi Ke as well as other brothers, only Zi Ke, and I have high hopes for him. Over the years, I hired the four masters to teach and practice in person, and the application of Zi Sui was based on the emperor's system, that is, the spring sacrifice of that year violated the ancestral system, and it was just a matter of whipping... In all this way, he still feels that I am partial to others? It can be said that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and this son is really overwhelmed! ”

Yuan Cheng sighed in his heart and said, "The prince is young, he is not deep, and he is easily instigated by people with ulterior motives... The crown prince has been sealed since he was a child, and he was pampered and raised by the former empress dowager, and he is a collection of thousands of favors... Now that His Majesty treats the brothers of King Changshan closely, and brings them to worship the heavens, it is no wonder that the prince is worried. ”

Yuan Hong frowned slightly, and said: "What Uncle Huang means is that Zi Xun's hidden plan today is caused by me?" As a monarch, when the curtain can sweep the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon into the arms. If everything must be compared, like a bucket, then how to bear the responsibility of the country and the society in the future, and how to treat the people of the world well? ”

As the leader of the clan, Yuan Cheng did not want to see Yuan Hong's father and son turn against him. Hearing Yuan Hong's words at this moment, Yuan Cheng knew that his mind had been decided, so he said: "The minister doesn't dare!" Shame on you! Your Majesty's long-term thinking is the act of a wise man! As the head of the sect, the minister is responsible for leading the army, and now the prince has made such a rebellious and reckless act, and the minister is guilty! ”

Yuan Hong waved his hand and said, "Uncle Huang doesn't need to blame himself... The position of the crown prince is like an arrow target, and all dynasties have brutally fought for the storage position. I have taken care of him all the way, just to avoid the mistakes of the previous dynasty, but I didn't expect that this son's desire is difficult to fill, even if I don't bring my son and brother to worship the heavens, it is difficult to ensure that he colludes with dissidents and usurps power. ”

Between the words, Yuan Hong had already gotten up and left the table, slowly pacing in the room. Seeing this, Yuan Cheng dared to sit on the couch, hurriedly got up and stood up, and said: "Your Majesty's affection for the prince, the courtiers know it... Only deposing the crown prince will not prevent future troubles... What is Your Majesty's plan for those clan relatives and nobles who are not subordinate? ”

Yuan Hong stopped and said, "Uncle Huang's words are exactly what I am worried about now..."

Looking at Yuan Cheng, Yuan Hong then said: "Why did I only imprison He Zhengming in the stone room in the old years, Uncle Huang knows best... According to today's Yuanlong dare to instigate the son's actions, it is known that among the eight clansmen, there are many people who resist the Han Revolution. If I arrest Yuanlong at this time, it will make those who have different intentions take precautions, and in this way, there will be endless disasters! ”

Yuan Cheng said: "Your Majesty's words, do you want to wait and see the changes, and ask for it with vines?" ”

Yuan Hong bowed his head slightly, and said: "For the country, seeing evil is like a farmer's business to grass, cutting off its roots, not enabling breeding, and it is the best policy." ”

Yuan Cheng bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers will help His Majesty to calm down the calamity, and I wish my Great Wei Foundation for eternity! ”

Pulling King Ren Cheng into the table together, Yuan Hongfu scooped hot tea for each other again, and sighed: "The hearts of the people in the court are different, only the imperial uncle and I have the same heart, and only the imperial uncle can do my best for me!" ”

Yuan Cheng was moved, hurriedly got up and left the table, knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty is wrongly loved, and you are fortunate to have three lives!" The minister should swear allegiance to His Majesty, and then die! ”

Motioning for Yuan Cheng to get up, Yuan Hong said: "Uncle Huang treats me with my heart, and I know it from my heart..."

The two gentlemen and ministers took a sip of tea against each other, and Yuan Cheng saw that the emperor's expression was relaxed, and said carefully: "Your Majesty has now deposed the crown prince, can there be someone who wants to be the prince?" ”

Hearing Yuan Cheng's words, Yuan Hong smiled bitterly: "When the Han Revolution was implemented, there was a secret game between the new and old ministers, and if the prince candidate was determined at this time, it would be the next son..."

Yuan Cheng bowed his head and said: "The minister is stupid! Your Majesty is very worried! I only mistakenly think that Your Majesty now values the King of Changshan, and wants to take the King of Changshan as the prince..."

Yuan Hong looked up at Yuan Cheng and said bluntly: "Uncle Huang doesn't think that I want to establish a son because I love Bao'er, right?" ”

Yuan Cheng looked embarrassed, and said, "Minister... The minister thinks that His Majesty loves the house and the Wu..."

Yuan Hong sneered and said, "Don't say that Bao'er has no intention of fighting for Zike's storage position, even if he has a heart, I will not act rashly because of my own selfish feelings... Uncle Huang knows why I love Bao'er so much? Unlike others, she has never had the heart to drill camp, nor does she focus on fame and fortune. I was with her, and I didn't feel tired, just like when I was a child. ”

Yuan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "It's a shallow minister, and he guesses His Majesty with the heart of a villain... Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”

Yuan Hong said: "I know what Uncle Huang is worried about... Uncle Huang can rest assured. ”

Send Yuan Cheng away, and the three treasures serve Yuan Hong to rest. When I woke up, it was already the second quarter of the first month.

Sanbao served hot tea to Yuanhong, and led the attendants to wash and change his clothes, Fang carefully said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Zhaoyi sent someone to send osmanthus cake, but it is Your Majesty's carriage and horses, and eating osmanthus cake can make Your Majesty nourish yin and relieve fatigue." ”

Yuan Hong bowed his head slightly and said, "Bao'er is as careful as hair, and she is always so considerate. With that, he took the pastry offered by the Three Treasures and ate it slowly.

While serving Yuan Hong to eat, Sanbao continued: "You Zhaoyi just took the Seven Princes to the imperial study to greet Your Majesty, and the slave only said that Your Majesty rested..."

Yuan Hong sneered and said, "On weekdays, Right Zhaoyi rarely brings his son together, but today it is fast enough..."

Now that the crown prince has been deposed, the Li family and Yuan Yi are nothing more than happy for Emperor Bo, thinking that he can compete for the throne in the future.

The three treasures served the emperor closely, how could they not know the meaning of the emperor's words, only as an internal servant, and did not dare to answer at will, so they hung their heads and stood aside.

Seeing Sanbao like this, Yuan Hong patted Sanbao and said, "That's it, I haven't seen Mrs. Luo and Ziyi for a long time, you prepare for me, go to Yujing Hall to see their mother and son." ”

Now that the crown prince has been abolished, the brothers of King Changshan have sacrificed to the sky with the royal driver, and the emperor's move is just to make everyone in the palace not speculate about the prince's candidate. The Three Treasures are also clever people, who will understand at the moment, respond in succession, and withdraw outside.

Because he had been away from Beijing for many days and had Yuan Sui's conspiracy, Yuan Hong did not come to the harem for several days. When I came to Yonghe Hall on this day, it was five days after returning to Luoyang Palace.

Yuan Hong retreated left and right, only holding Yuan Shu and He to sit on the same couch.

Yuan Hong teased Yuan Shu, who was already babbling, and said to He: "Shu'er is becoming more and more cute and smart, she is like you, and she is like me." ”

He smiled: "A daughter follows her father, Shu'er is naturally like Yuan Lang... Shu'er plays with Ying'er all day long, and she also has the cleverness of her sister. ”

Yuan Hong said: "Ying'er is also smart and clever... Among my children, her brother and sister are the most sensible and reasonable, and this is all due to your upbringing. ”

He shook his head and said, "Brother and sister Ke'er have always been sensible and well-behaved, they have only lived with their concubines for three years, how dare concubines be greedy?" ”

Yuan Hong looked at Yuan Shu and said, "Shu'er, you have a good aunt...", turning his head to look at He, Yuan Hong said to He again: "Bao'er, are you willing to give birth to another brother for Shu'er?" ”

When He heard Yuanhong's words, his face was red for a while, and he was shy and speechless.

Seeing this, Yuan Hong said lovingly: "If Bao'er wishes to have another son for me, I will have a successor..."

He Zi knew the intention of the emperor's words, and when he heard the words, he was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly said: "All the princes are all from Yuanlang, and they are all intelligent, how can Yuanlang have no successor?" ”

Yuan Hong sighed and said: "In the past few days, I have not been to the harem because of the previous dynasty, and secondly, because the position of the prince is vacant, and everyone in the palace is eyeing each other. I don't bother much. ”

He said sympathetically: "The concubine knows that Yuanlang can't help herself, and the concubine is powerless to help Yuanlang solve his worries, so she can only take care of the children with all her heart and not distract Yuanlang." ”

Yuan Hong hugged Yuan Shu tightly with one hand, hugged He with the other, and said softly: "I am with you, and my heart is at ease." ”

He looked at Yuan Hong and said, "The concubine is not as good as Yuan Lang said, and the concubine is also a selfish person in her heart... The concubine has a word, but I don't know if to say it? ”

Yuan Hong said: "Bao'er and my husband and wife are of the same heart, why can't you say it directly? ”

He Dao: "A few days ago, Buckwheat came to see the concubine, and the Tao was that the prince cried bitterly every day in the palace and repented of his mistakes. The concubine knew that the prince had committed an unforgivable crime, and she also knew that this was not a harem matter, so she didn't dare to persuade Yuan Lang. The concubine only saw that the buckwheat was about to give birth, but it was difficult for the prince to sleep and eat every day, and the concubine was afraid that it would go on like this for a long time, which would damage the fetus in her womb. ”

Looking at Yuan Hong, He continued: "Yuan Lang, the imperial doctor has diagnosed the pulse of Buck Child, and the Tao is that eighty percent of Buck Child's womb is a male fetus, and that is Yuan Lang's imperial grandson... Queen Zhen only has one son, if she knows that she also has an heir now, she will be able to smile at Jiuquan. ”

After He Yan, Yuan Hong relaxed his hand, sat Yuan Shu'an on the couch again, turned his head to look out the window, and was silent.

After a dozen snaps of his fingers, Yuan Hong turned his head to look at He, and said, "Bao'er, I have already understood what you just said. When I first ascended to the throne, the emperor's grandmother ordered the Lin family to be close to my side, the Lin family was older than me, and I took care of them in every way, and for me, he was like a mother and a sister... When she gave birth to a child, no matter how much I pleaded, the imperial grandmother also gave her death... In my early years, I fought on the battlefield, innovated and changed the law, and neglected to discipline my son. Zi Sui has today's mistakes, and I can't escape its responsibility..."

He was relieved: "Yuan Lang is the king of the world, and he has all the opportunities, how can he blame himself?" ”

Yuan Hong smiled bitterly and said: "That's it, the right child is innocent in the womb, I will write a decree tomorrow to move Zi Sui and his wife to Heyang, and make them copy Buddhist scriptures every day and repent in front of the Buddha." As for the degree of clothing, it is treated as a clan..."
