Chapter 304: Smugness
The envoy of the king didn't say anything, and followed Gonggong Chen to the imperial study quickly.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the emperor had already put on civilian clothes and was sitting there waiting for him.
Seeing him, he said: "What time did you come, Gonggong Chen is not ready to set off soon."
Chen Gonggong replied "yes" there
The king's privy envoy hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's a minister...... Exceptional"
"Don't bother, the car will be ready to go in a while"
"Yes"
The envoy of the king secretly said in his heart while returning: "The emperor must have this kind of mind to take the second prince back when he was young, and now the second prince can't really hate him, but it's a pity that he is so repentant that it is a little too late."
Gonggong Chen quickly prepared the carriage and sent more than twenty or thirty imperial masters to follow.
But the emperor was afraid that this kind of travel would be too much of an eyesore, so he had no choice but to follow the emperor's car with ten people, and the rest of the people sat in the two carriages in front and behind.
That way, no one can see that someone is coming out.
Gonggong Chen quickly arranged the travel of the emperor and his entourage, but because today's events were special and kept secret from the outside world, he could not follow them personally, so he had to follow one of the king's privy envoys.
The carriage sitting today has been specially ordered by the emperor, and there is no royal sign on the body, but it is just an ordinary luxury carriage, which is no different from the carriage in the capital where there are usually silver families.
The king's privy envoy got an order today, and he sat in a carriage with the emperor, and he wanted to show the lord that in the end it was the second prince, so he should receive the order.
The two got into the carriage, and the emperor finally remembered one thing, that is, he never asked the second prince where he lived in the capital? He didn't know anything about the east, west, north and south, and it was not easy to ask this question, but then he couldn't help but look at the king's envoy there:
"Where has he lived with the second son all these years? Exceptional"
Wang Shumi's envoy can't lie, and said honestly: "Originally, the second prince had been wandering in the capital after leaving the palace, and lived in a broken temple in the south of the city with a group of beggars at night. ”
The emperor remorseled when he heard this, he didn't know why he became like this in the first place, he had to drive his child out, like at that time, if the second son didn't leave the palace, he might kill him to vent his anger, why did he do that, he can't say it now, even if he was punished at that time, why drive a child out of the house!
He sighed in his heart and said, "What about his master?" Do you still live with him? ”
The royal envoy continued: "Later, his master died, leaving him only an old slave, and now the second prince lives with an old slave."
When the emperor heard this, his heart was cold, "Oh! That's it! It's a pity" Originally, he had thought about how to reward this master, but he didn't expect that people would have passed away a long time ago and would not give him this opportunity.
The envoy continued: "Now the second prince has nothing to do to read books around, or go back to the private house to write, except that sometimes the expenses cannot keep up, life is quite good."
"Lack of silver, oh, my son should lack silver, how ridiculous"
The emperor said to himself that he couldn't calm down for a long time, he didn't know what to say, and what else to say?
If he could live in the palace 10,000 times better than now, then he didn't have to run for life, and he couldn't endure the pain of separating his relatives and flesh so young, with endless silver and endless glory and wealth, but now he blames him for all this, and he ruined his son's life.
The emperor blamed himself in his heart, he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, and his heart felt uncomfortable.
After thinking about it for a long time, I only said, "It's all blamed on me."
For the first time, the royal envoy also heard that the emperor sincerely blamed himself, usually this is very proud, often compared with the first emperor, but not as good as the first emperor one-third, even so, he still likes others to flatter and flatter him, now even if he has done wrong, but he does not like to listen to other people's accusations.
He hurriedly said: "The emperor was also in love at that time, there is no need to blame himself, now that the second prince has been exercised outside the palace, it is very good to ask Weichen to see this, but it is a blessing in disguise!" ”
The emperor was more relieved when he heard this, and when he thought about it, how could he grow up so well if he hadn't been kicked out of the palace by himself, the palace was not suitable for raising an excellent prince.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived on the middle street of the capital.
At this time, it was noon, the weather was warm, and the streets were full of people, and the vendors were also enthusiastically shouting.
The king's privy envoy changed the topic there and said: "Your Majesty, you see that the people on the street are rich and the country is strong, and they are all calm, all of which are the credit of the emperor's good governance of the country!" ”
When the emperor heard this, he was happy a few times, he was indeed a great emperor, and there had been no war in the years since he had owned the country, so his face showed a look of pride.
The king's envoy continued: "The emperor is shengming, and he has entrusted the emperor with great trust," he said as he saluted the emperor.
The corners of the emperor's mouth turned up, and he forgot the heartache brought by the second prince, and immersed himself in the kingdom he had built, which he created by himself, the country was rich and the people were strong, and the faction was safe and happy.
Seeing the emperor's proud appearance, the royal envoy shook his head in his heart, the emperor didn't know that the northwest sergeants would change soon, those barbarians only suffered a little loss last time, and they would raise them for a while when they went back, and they would make a comeback soon, and the warriors were on the verge of breaking out.
It's just that the Nanming general hasn't discovered what is going to happen, he still thinks that the last victory was the result of his own fight, and he didn't know that there was the help of the second prince, otherwise, the world would have been in chaos, and peace at this moment would be impossible.
The barbarians are just going back and planning well, and a comeback is inevitable, it's just a matter of time.
Those of them have been peeping at the Central Plains for a long time, and they have long been watching the troops in secret, and they have long thought of a sneak attack.
He knows this, but now he wants the second prince to return to the palace and report this to the emperor again, and now the Beixi warriors are still in his hands, and the barbarian will not make any changes during this time, but according to his estimates, it should be soon.
The carriage crossed the middle street all the way to a bend in the east-west road, where it only had to go west and pass a few north-south streets to the west of the city.
When the car came here, the king's envoy told the coachman to turn west.
The emperor remembered what he was going to do again? In that way: "Will he be at home for the second son?"
The king's envoy said, "This ...... Weichen really didn't know, Weichen wanted to notify the second prince in advance and was afraid that he would have any ideas, so he didn't notify in advance."
The emperor nodded and said, "Everything depends on the will of heaven!" ”
Wang Shumi'an didn't say anything, just nodded, in fact, he really wanted to say that a father went to see his son who was kicked out, what does it matter if he waits a little longer, not to mention that it is your own mistakes that caused today's situation, not to mention waiting for a while, it is necessary to wait for a day or two.
But the emperor is not affectionate, it is not easy to have the friendship of the second prince now, he can't say anything, he can only nod, and there is no such situation that he can't see at all, so the king's privy envoy didn't say anything in the end.
The carriage gradually approached the second street on this side, which was much quieter than just now, and the shops on both sides were selling some four treasures of the study, calligraphy, paintings, and some ancient books.
There are also some students from the capital who come in and out of here, compared to the downtown just now, it is quiet and comfortable, but there are also a lot of people, and the streets are full of students running back and forth and the people in the mansion.
The royal envoy led the emperor to look at this side and said: "Your Majesty, look here, here are all places where students from the capital often come to visit. ”
When the emperor heard this, he was really curious and lifted the curtain to look outside, and the street was really the same as what the king's privy envoy said, and the streets were full of students.
The royal envoy pointed to a bookstore for the emperor to take a look at, but as soon as the carriage walked to the door of a larger shop, he saw a familiar figure and hurriedly called out to the emperor beside him, "Your Majesty, that tall man is the second prince!" ”
The emperor didn't expect to meet his son here, and when he looked at the finger of the king's envoy, he saw a tall and good-looking man walking forward with his face sideways, looking at the side and he was a little averse, but because it was too far away, he couldn't see it very clearly.
"Stop, stop," the emperor hurriedly called the coachman outside to stop the carriage, because he saw that the man had entered a shop selling books.
The king's envoy said, "Your Majesty, let's wait here!" The second prince may have picked a book and will come out in a while."
The emperor wanted to nod, but he felt that he finally came out of the palace, and it was a pity that he didn't even get out of the car.
"Let's get out of the car and look for him, I see it's quiet here, it should be fine."
The king's privy envoy disagreed, he didn't dare to let this lord get out of the carriage casually, and said: "Your Majesty, although it is quiet here, there is an unknown danger happening, if you are really eager to go down and call him out."
The emperor was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said there: "If I can still have an accident at my own door, then the soldiers guarding the city don't have to live, don't bother getting off."
The king's privy envoy saw that the emperor was a little angry, so he had to nod, no matter how he tried, it was impossible for him to resist the decree and disrespect, that was a big crime.
As soon as Jun Chen got out of the carriage, he was accompanied by several guards of the carriage to the bookstore.
The emperor walked to the streets of the capital and looked at this quiet and peaceful scene, and his heart was unprecedentedly satisfied, he hoped that there would be no soldiers in his life, and the capital would always be a place for people to settle down, and he could be a good emperor as an emperor.
