Chu Ye didn't expect Uncle Ming to let go when he heard his words, he thought that this person would always be unmoved!

Zai said excitedly: "It's great that you can think like this, Uncle Ming, I promise you, when I succeed, I will definitely correct your general's name, and I will never lose my word."

After the two talked, they began to think about what to do next.

Only this time, when the emperor came, he could only succeed and not fail.

……

Early the next morning, the king's envoy marched into the palace again.

At this time, the courtiers also heard that the emperor was sick yesterday, but they all guessed that he was sick by the eldest prince.

Although the affairs in the palace are kept secret, and ordinary people dare not say anything to others, for the ministers with power in the court, it is a matter of minutes to know the affairs of the palace.

Some courtiers also knew about the eldest prince who was drunk and scolded in front of the imperial study yesterday.

Although for the current court, the inheritance of the throne is the most appropriate prince at the moment, so most of the people in the court support the succession of the great prince.

But there are also a small number of people who maintain a wait-and-see attitude and are only loyal to the emperor, like Xia Zhiyuan in the past, whether it is the battle between the prince or the nobles in the palace, it is none of his business, he is only loyal to the emperor and nothing else.

A few of these people feel that how can such an emperor who lacks the virtue of a prince let him succeed to the throne, dare to openly insult the emperor after drinking sour wine, or his own biological father, he didn't even care about the teaching of his father's filial piety, and also extinguished the filial piety of a prince, how could the emperor let such a person who always peeped at his throne inherit the unification, except that the emperor was not worried that his little life was taken by his son that day, so he continued to raise the eldest prince like this.

The eldest prince can imagine that he has long thought this in his heart, so he said what he said in his heart with the strength of wine.

Shame is certain, not only the eldest prince has lost face, but even the emperor has no face.

However, the most strange thing for everyone is that the emperor did not punish the eldest prince this time, and they all speculated in their hearts whether they blamed their son or what, especially those who suspected that the eldest prince could not succeed to the throne, they were all waiting to see how the emperor should send the eldest prince, but early in the morning I heard that the emperor only locked this person up, neither let him go to the Hanlin Academy, nor let him go out of the palace, as if he was locked in his own palace and looked like he was grounded.

For this punishment can be said to be not heavy, it is simply a bit light, could it be that the emperor still has the intention of letting him inherit the throne, and a few people who doubt that the eldest prince cannot inherit the throne are sad again, are they all wrong?

But for a certain courtier who supported the eldest prince, such a punishment was heavy, and there was a reason to lock the future prince in the room, but now it was just a drunken talk, and he didn't say anything, so he all entered the palace to intercede with the eldest prince.

These people also left early, and they made an appointment to go together just after dawn.

However, Wang Shudu went earlier than a few people, almost a quarter of an hour early, and it was the emperor who specially sent Xiao Huanzi, an apprentice of Gonggong Chen, to pick him up.

It was not too early or too late, the carriage ran fast, that is, in a few moments, the king's privy envoy saw the sick emperor in the palace.

Looking at his complexion, the emperor is much better at this time than yesterday, he is not coughing so much, and he seems to be in good spirits, unlike the decadent Tang he saw when he first entered the palace yesterday.

"Is the emperor feeling better?" The king's privy envoy didn't expect the emperor to call him so early, he only washed his face and got dressed in the palace and came.

The emperor was sitting on the bed with a piece of clothing, and it was still Gonggong Chen who was waiting for him.

"Grandpa Chen, bring a stool for Lord Wang"

The king's secret envoy felt a little bearded in his heart, and he didn't know that the emperor had become unusually amiable this time, which was a rare situation.

Gonggong Chen agreed, hurriedly moved a chair and said, "Lord Wang, sit down early in the morning and rest!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Shumi nodded to Gonggong Chen, and then said to the emperor.

The emperor sat on the bed and sighed: "Over the years, I have been too lax in the management of the eldest prince, which has developed his current temperament."

When he thought of this, he was not only angry with himself, but also angry with the queen, and his mother was so defeated, he blamed the queen for spoiling the eldest prince over the years.

When the royal envoy heard the emperor's meaning, he came to chat with him, and it seemed that he must have been aggrieved, so he came over.

But he couldn't say anything about this, so he could only bow his head and listen to it silently.

The emperor continued: "Lian was thinking yesterday that if my two sons were exchanged, would they be like this if they were raised in the deep palace, but outside the palace they would be humble and sensible.

The royal envoy was really embarrassed to express his embarrassment about the royal problem, but he had to comfort the emperor for this

"Your Majesty, you are too worried, my ancestors once said that life and death are fate and wealth are in the sky, everything is just fate, not something that can be done by manpower."

The emperor sighed, "That being said, the road is walked by people, and everyone's life is not the result of walking by themselves."

The king's privy envoy didn't know how to say this, and he didn't dare to say anything to refute it, and if he didn't refute, it was like ignoring the emperor, so he could only say there: "The emperor is too worried, and now the emperor is in weak health, so he shouldn't think too much." ”

The emperor said there: "I can't sleep to call you here, I want to call you over to have a good chat, you don't want to listen to their official words"

The king's privy envoy finally knew that the emperor couldn't sleep, so he took himself out of the bed early in the morning, and entered the palace to listen to him, but he didn't dare to really chat with the emperor from the bottom of his heart, after all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, he thinks like this at one moment, and he may not think like this the next moment.

He bowed his head there and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, you continue."

The emperor sighed again and said: "I can't sleep and I'm thinking about my life, big and small Bunsen has raised five or six children, why there are only these two adult princes, it's really inexplicable"

The king's privy envoy said: "That's the emperor's strong body and son in his old age."

When the emperor heard this, his heart brightened a little, and he said: "It's also strange that I am not good, when I was young, I didn't listen to the opinions of the courtiers, and I didn't even accept concubines until I was middle-aged, and I didn't think about it for the sake of the royal descendants, and accepted some concubines. ”

The royal envoy said at the right time: "Your Majesty, you have two princes who have reached adulthood now, and the eldest prince is not the only one to choose?" He said it carefully, checking his words and looking at his expressions as he spoke, and then saw that the emperor had not changed much silently, so he was relieved.
