Chapter 174: Study Talk

Rubbing his fingers against her cheeks, wiping away the tears on her face, Lin Xia's appearance of pear blossoms with rain made him cry to death, "I know how you feel, I know what it's like to miss your relatives." ”

Although he has no feelings for his father, he has a lot of feelings for his mother Lei Wan, and when he is outcast, he occasionally thinks of the childhood time with his mother, but unfortunately, in the end, his mother was hit by his 'war death', so he couldn't afford to fall ill and finally died.

As a son, he felt guilty about his mother.

But it's not just him, but also his eldest brother, Emperor Taishang, Wu Jing.

Many people wonder why Emperor Dawu fell ill so suddenly, abdicating and recuperating in one step. In fact, after reigning for many years, Wu Jing thought a lot for the country and society, and the pressure was quite great, it was not difficult to establish a dynasty, but it was not so easy to maintain the prosperity of the dynasty. Moreover, no matter how much the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the court were investigated, most of them were rectified, and after a while, a lot of them appeared, which made him tired.

Especially this year, there was a drought in several places in the Wu Dynasty, the farmland was not harvested, many people died of starvation, and the allocated silver was sent down and exploited layer by layer, and finally into the hands of the victims, I really don't know how much is left.

However, fortunately, Yalinju took the lead in donating money, contributing one million taels of silver to buy rice and porridge, and the Yalinju restaurant in the disaster area gave away 'sunshine' for free, not to mention, it was also open for a month, giving free meals to the victims, and also adopted many children who were sold by ruthless parents for a bucket of rice.

Because of the emergence of Yalinju, the rest of the merchants also contributed money, and finally raised 80 million taels of silver, but fortunately there were no riots and other matters.

Although the merchants were the last in line, Wu Jing never looked down on the merchants, the main reason was that the merchants urged the economy of the Wu Dynasty, and the annual taxes were paid by the merchants. Without them, he would not have been able to stay so comfortably in the palace, with fine clothes and fine food, especially a large number of officers and soldiers, civil ministers and military generals, princes and dukes.

After going through so many things, especially seeing the name of Yalin Ju Shanshang repeatedly sounded, Wu Jing suddenly understood what his mother said to him at the beginning.

That is: 'Your third brother never thought of competing with you for the throne. ’

Yes, the third brother never thought of competing for the throne, he returned to the capital from Qingxi Village and already had the ability to compete for the throne, the name of Yalinju good business has gathered a lot of people's hearts for him, and Yalinju's business is also big, and he earns a large amount of silver every year, not to mention that he is also in-law with the Longmen Dart Bureau, the dart master of the Longmen Dart Bureau is as high as 500 people, and people who want to enter the Longmen Dart Bureau abound every year, it is not difficult to raise the dart master into an elite army, not to mention that Lei Biao also has experience on the battlefield, he led the troops to practice, and then used the name of Prince An Mourning to send troops, he wants to compete for the throne, it's really not difficult.

But Lei Biao didn't, because he never thought about the position of the throne.

Not everyone is interested in the supreme throne, some people like big fish and big meat, have fun all their lives, and some like coarse tea and light rice, and live a peaceful life; Some people like to hug three wives and four concubines left and right, and some people like to have a couple for a lifetime; Some people are eyeing the throne, and some people are disdainful of it.

And Lei Biao happens to be the latter.

Wu Jing only felt ridiculous, a person who was not interested in the throne, the first emperor actually killed all the things for the third brother, and did not miss the relationship between father and son; And he was young, and after being brainwashed by someone with a heart, he also had a grudge against the third brother, but they never asked the third brother what he thought, right...... Even if you ask and get an answer, you probably won't believe it.

Because they are all blinded by power.

Overnight, Wu Jing thought it through, and the throne that he had fought for since childhood seemed to have lost his appeal, so he left the palace privately and went to the Lei Mansion.

Den.

"Why is the emperor here today?" Lei Biao was puzzled, with a little caution between his eyebrows.

Seeing the vigilance in his eyes, Wu Jing sighed slightly, and then pulled out a weak smile, "The eldest brother is looking for the third brother to catch up with the old days, this is not okay?" ”

Lei Biao was slightly stunned, he hadn't heard Wu Jing call his third brother for a long time, and he actually felt a little nostalgic in his heart.

"In a few days, it will be the death day of my mother, let's go to the imperial tomb to worship together, and then call the second brother and the fourth brother." Wu Jing took a sip of the tea on the table, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he missed it, "If my mother sees our four brothers reunited, I don't know how happy she will be." ”

Listening to Wu Jing's words, Lei Biao's eyes were intent, and he also fell into the past time.

"Do you remember when the fourth brother was more than a year old, we took advantage of his sleep and painted on his face? When he woke up, he ran around in the dormitory with a cat's face, scaring the ladies of the palace to death, and when he accidentally saw his face on the lake, he was directly scared and cried, which made us laugh at that time. Wu Jing said with a smile, but it was a pity that the person who was teased was not present, otherwise he could see Wu Xuan's flushed face.

Speaking of childhood anecdotes, Lei Biao couldn't help laughing.

At that time, the Wu Dynasty implemented force, although the four of them also read books and were taught by their masters, but more often they were still riding horses and archery, hunting animals, so they were like ordinary children, they liked to play and play, lively and active, and sometimes teased the youngest brother to play. These are all because of the protection of Lei Wan and Lei Jiajun, so in this sinister harem, the innocence of children can be retained, and the relationship between the four brothers is not like that of brothers in previous dynasties, intriguing, just for the throne.

It's a pity that these beautiful past, because of Emperor Wu's announcement, the third prince Wu Hu died, thus alienating the feelings between their brothers.

Wu Jing didn't know what was going on, but the second brother Wu Yan and the fourth brother Wu Xuan stubbornly believed that it was the eldest brother who attacked Wu Hu in order to keep his position as the crown prince.

And Wu Jing is not easy to explain clearly, because everyone thinks that he did it, and those courtiers who stand on his side praise him for doing a good job, but it is really not what he did, it is his father who cleared all obstacles and potential dangers for him, but he can't say anything, if he says it, it will only chill his father's heart.

In this way, one of his three younger brothers died, and two were far away from him.

Thinking of this, Wu Jing couldn't help but feel that if he did it all over again, he might still choose to hide it, because he wanted to ask his two younger brothers to go out to hunt on horseback and archery and was politely rejected by all kinds of excuses, and he had to soak in the study to read and write, when he saw Sun Tzu's Art of War, he knew that it was not enough to rely on brute force to fight, such a war was just to compare each other's numbers, who won, and the real war had to rely on intelligence in addition to force.

In the piles of books, Wu Jing knew what it meant to 'have a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book'. That is why he chose to promote literature after he ascended the throne, although the generals were quite dissenting at that time, but after he took command of an expedition, he completely reflected the wonderful use of Sun Tzu's art of war, so that the generals were convinced.

Because of this reason, the Wu Dynasty can continue and prosper for a hundred generations in the future, so Wu Jing has never regretted it.

Talking about the past childhood anecdotes, Wu Jing couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you go back to the capital in the first place?" ”

Lei Biao smiled faintly, "Big brother has the ability to lead the Wu Dynasty to a prosperous era, why should I interfere?" Our goal is the same, since the eldest brother has done it and done it so well, I shouldn't show up, and I shouldn't hurt the people because of our competition, which is not my original intention. ”

"If I were like the emperor of the previous dynasty, I didn't care about political affairs, spent extravagantly, and coveted the harem, would you seize power and rebel without hesitation?"

Lei Biao's thin lips hooked slightly, "Big brother, you really love to laugh, if it were you, would you seize power and rebel?" ”

Wu Jing was slightly stunned, then raised his lips and chuckled, shook his head and said, "I really asked a useless question." ”

"Big brother came here today, is there anything else besides catching up?" After talking for so long, it's time to get to the point.

"I want to abdicate, pass the throne to the prince, take Shu'er out of the palace to play in the mountains and rivers, and be a mountain couple." Wu Jing said with a smile, his eyes revealing a bit of yearning, "I have already told Shu'er, and the two of us have the same thoughts. It's so tiring to be intrigued. ”

Shu'er, the name of the queen's mother, is the daughter of the general who defends the country.

Because Lei Wan likes Shu'er very much, so when she was very young, she set a baby kiss for Wu Jing and her, childhood sweethearts grew up together, and the two have feelings for each other, so Shu'er went from the crown princess to the queen mother, and the journey was quite smooth, of course, it was not only Wu Jing's love, but also the tough background of the general who defended the country.

What's more, the two families of the general of the country and the general of the town are still in-laws, and they are even more close to each other, and she sits firmly in the position of the queen's mother, and no one can shake it.

It's just that after being promoted to the emperor and queen, the relationship between the two is not as inseparable as before, every year in the draft, Wu Jing has received many show girls to fill the harem, and he also pampered a lot of women at night, which really chills the heart of the queen, not to mention that since Shu'er was promoted to queen, every time Wu Jing stays in her palace overnight, there has been no good news, which makes Wu Jing a little disappointed.

So the relationship between the two has gradually become more and more estranged.

But deep down, the two still love each other, and since the queen mother became pregnant again, the relationship between the two is as good as ever, and occasionally they will talk about some heartfelt words. So the day before yesterday, Wu Jing talked about the idea of abdication, but she didn't expect the queen mother to want to do it for a long time, and spit bitterness at him, saying that the women in the harem wanted to hurt her son, and she was tired of guarding day and night.

Shu'er was born in a family of generals, and she doesn't like these twists and turns on weekdays, preferring to be direct, but since she became Wu Jing's crown princess and Wu Jing's queen, she had to learn these things, but she was depressed to death.

simply thought about simply abdicating and taking his son to the mountains and rivers.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had the same ideas, but one was tired of the intrigue in the court, and the other was tired of the intrigue in the harem, so the two hit it off and began to prepare for the abdication.
