Chapter 301: Building Bridges
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.
The emperor pondered for a moment when he heard this, in fact, he hadn't made up his mind about whether to pick up the second son, thinking about how determined he was to get rid of this child back then, and now he wanted to pull down his face to welcome him back, this kind of thing is really difficult for him to do as an emperor.
After thinking about it, he said, "Is there anything the king's privy envoy can do?" ”
The king's privy envoy said: "The emperor actually wants the ministers to see things very simply, as long as you see the second prince and your mind is weak, you will take him back to the palace, who can say anything to the courtiers!" It is human nature for a father to accept a son, and who would really violate human morality! The emperor doesn't have to regret what happened back then, as long as you declare to the outside world that you were trying to train the second prince, who can say that you are wrong! A prince left the palace since he was a child just to get exercise, and he grew so good without anyone's help, you as his father and emperor are not only proud of him but also feel sincerely gratified to him, and in the future, everyone in the court will not only follow the emperor's example, but also respect your practice and spirit of giving up family affection only for forging a successful son, the emperor. ”
The emperor didn't expect that the practice of breath could become a good thing, and his face showed a different look, in that:
"Privy Envoy of the King, do you think this can really be done like this?"
"Of course, the emperor, if you suffer hardship, you will become a master, I think the second prince was run out of the palace by you, this is the right thing to do, the habit is like killing the child, this is exactly what you are not used to your own children, in order to make it an excellent prince!"
Although the emperor was skeptical, he was still a little moved when he heard this, after all, it was a happy thing that he could have another son, and it was still in the current period when the eldest prince was not successful, and he was now very disappointed in the eldest prince, and he already knew from that account book that the eldest prince was not loyal to him, but a person who was eager to succeed to the throne himself.
One did everything for his son who sat on the throne, so he wanted the second prince to enter the palace first.
Although he thought so, the emperor didn't say so, and pondered for a while: "I want to see that kid first."
The king's envoy thought that the person in front of him would agree immediately! I didn't expect to take another look, to see that the emperor was suspicious, and he had to say "yes" there
The two chatted at the bedside for nearly an hour, and it was getting brighter outside.
At this time, I heard Gonggong Chen come in and said: "Your Majesty, Xia Xiangye, Dali Siqing, the Ministry of Shangshu and the scholars of the palace came to ask for a meeting."
The emperor heard a calm face, he knew what they were doing so early, it was nothing more than to intercede for that unfilial son, he didn't have time to interrogate him now, and he felt that it would be difficult to save face if he wanted to arrest him into the Zongren Mansion, so he hadn't thought about what to do to the eldest prince, let alone reply to these people.
In that way: "Tell them, 'I am not in good health, and I don't see any stranger today."
Gonggong Chen said "yes" and deliberately glanced at the king's privy envoy as he spoke, when did the emperor become so eccentric! He let one of the king's privy envoys come in, and the rest of them were gone, and he was a little embarrassed to reply.
When he went out with a smile, he saluted a few adults and said: "I'm sorry to get up, the emperor said that he is in poor health, so he won't discuss state affairs with you adults today, and the important ministers will come back tomorrow if they have something!" ”
Xia Xiangye, Dali Siqing, the Ministry of Shangshu and the Diange University Scholar and other people looked at each other, they did know that the emperor was sick, and he was also sick by the eldest prince, but several people knew that after the treatment of Imperial Doctor Li last night, the emperor's illness was no longer a big problem, but they couldn't see them, and they all stood in place strangely and didn't move.
The time stalemate, and finally Xia Xiangye said: "Gonggong Chen, is the emperor's body already fine?" ”
Gonggong Chen couldn't lie, and nodded, "It's true that as the adults said, the emperor is in better shape."
Several other courtiers interjected: "Is the emperor having breakfast now?" ”
Gonggong Chen couldn't answer this, he didn't say anything when Wang Shumi was inside, but he had to reply, in that way:
"Not yet, at this time, the emperor is sitting there resting, he doesn't want to eat yet, maybe he will eat later, oh, if you have nothing to do, come back early! The miscellaneous family is going back to serve the emperor."
He didn't dare to talk to these people again, and he didn't dare to reply when he was asked, so why bother with being superfluous here. After saying this, Gonggong Chen turned around and was about to go inside, but he was still stopped by several people and said: "Father-in-law stays, father-in-law stays"
Chen Gonggong faced these figures who had a head and face in the court, so he had to give them a thin face and said:
"A few adults, you are going to pull the clothes of the miscellaneous family, but they are about to be torn, the miscellaneous family is not leaving, you have something to say"
Several people were also in a hurry to lose their manners, and they apologized to Gonggong Chen one after another.
Chen Gonggong said: "Forget it, the miscellaneous family has a deep relationship with several adults, how can I make the adults apologize, and the adults have something to say quickly!" It's not good to see for a while that the emperor calls the miscellaneous family."
Still Xia Xiang said first: "Father-in-law doesn't know, a few of us came here to worry about the emperor's body, and secondly, to see how the eldest prince is?" ”
Gonggong Chen shook his body when he heard the eldest prince and said: "A few adults can't help with this matter, you don't know, the emperor is angry, and no one is allowed to mention this!" So let's go back first! It's okay now, a few adults can rest assured that they can go back first! ”
He was afraid that these people would run into the king's secret envoy, so he tried his best to persuade them to leave, but they didn't seem to stop if they didn't see the emperor.
Several people looked at each other again, but there was still no sign of leaving, Xia Xiang thought for a while and said: "Then the tired father-in-law told the emperor that the Weichen are not waiting for the emperor to summon them outside, and when the emperor feels better, he can summon the Weichen at any time."
Father-in-law Chen listened to the words of this Xiangye, which meant that he would not leave if he couldn't see the emperor, and now the emperor has the heart to talk about the matter of the eldest prince! He didn't resort to violence to be considered a father's mercy.
In that dissatisfied, he said: "Do you want to visit the eldest prince, or do you have something to say to the emperor, the emperor just said to the miscellaneous family that his body is not very good, so he will not see you, are you waiting here?" ”
A few adults are iron-hearted, and if they don't see the emperor today, they won't stop, and they looked at each other and said: "The meaning of what the father-in-law said has been understood, but if we don't look at the emperor, we are really not at ease, so a few of us are in the palace and wait, and when the emperor is good again, we will summon us again."
