Emperor Duanhua finally agreed to Gu Shao's request.

After all, no matter how willful he is, he knows that he can't do without Gu Shao's assistance at the moment, so after Gu Shao put on a posture of death, he still compromised.

Of course, he was very unwilling: "How long will I live such a day of patience?!" ”

"It has been less than three years since Your Majesty ascended the throne." After Gu Shao staggered up, he first sighed at this question, and then replied a little tiredly, "The patience of the first emperor under the hands of the Shentu clan back then, how much more than three or three years?!" ”

Emperor Duanhua disapproved and retorted: "That's because Emperor Huizong favored the concubines, but the first emperor has always been wise......"

Speaking of this, the emperor himself was silent, and only after a while did he say quietly, "Speaking of which, it is because I am far inferior to the first emperor. ”

"But Your Majesty is in good health." Gu Shao didn't want to comfort him with a clear conscience now, and said bluntly, "Bear with the anger of the moment, the future will be long!" ”

You're not your dad who worries about dying early all the time, and now you're still young, why don't you just refuse to put up with it?! Endure it for a few years, and eradicate all the people and things that threaten your throne, and then you just want to do whatever you want, when I am willing to enter the palace like an old mother all day long to kowtow to you?!

The emperor rubbed his forehead and sighed, "I know—go back!" I asked the prince to summon him. ”

Although he promised Gu Shao the honor of restoring the honor of the empress, of course it was impossible for Emperor Duanhua to go directly to Weiyang Palace to release people, and the meaning of asking for help was too obvious, so he started with the prince: he sent someone to summon the prince to ask about his homework.

The prince's homework has always been good, because he has been favored since childhood, he has always been very bold in front of his parents, and he does not flinch. But after Empress Wei's accident this time, Emperor Duanhua also had a rift with the crown prince, and he didn't summon him for a few days.

In the middle of this, the palace people who served in the East Palace inevitably passed some words to the prince's ears.

So now after the prince arrived at Xuanming Palace, although it can't be said that he has become trembling all of a sudden, he is also obviously restrained.

After the prince entered the palace, he did not raise his head to himself with a big smile as usual, but followed the rules, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and steadily went down to the Danqi, respectfully bowed, greeted him, and waited for the Duanhua Emperor to "flat", only to stand up slightly straight, but his eyes were still slightly drooping, and he did not dare to look up at the face of the Son of Heaven.

"How's Wu'er doing?" Emperor Duanhua looked at it, and felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he was the eldest son he had spoiled for more than ten years, if it wasn't for the jealousy of this son's biological mother and foreign family, he was very satisfied with this son himself, at this moment, seeing the prince's respectful but distant appearance towards him, he sighed, and then said gently, "I have been busy with government affairs these days, but I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly said: "Father Lao will ask!" Erchen has been doing well recently, and his father has a lot of opportunities, please take care of your body! ”

After saying this, the prince showed a clear look of chagrin, obviously worried that the four words "take care of the imperial body" would make the emperor suspect that he meant something and had other intentions.

Emperor Duanhua saw it above, recalling that when the Xianjia Dynasty was competing for favor, he was so helpless in front of Emperor Xianjia, and he had a little more love for his son, so he softened his voice and said, "Why are you still standing below?" Didn't they all go to the Danqi and talk to me on the side of my bookcase? Come on! ”

After hearing this, the prince was clearly stunned, and then showed a look of joy, and said loudly: "Thank you, father! ”

He detoured to the Danqi from the side - he was young, and he had never been snubbed like this by Emperor Duanhua before, so seeing Emperor Duanhua's loving attitude, the prince gradually became bolder, and after standing on the side of the imperial case, he took the initiative to say: "Does my father want to take the school's sons' homework?" Erchen has not slackened his studies these days. ”

Emperor Duanhua smiled, "Really? Then I have to ask carefully, and if I can't answer, I will punish you! ”

On this day, he rarely put aside government affairs to accompany the prince, first took the school homework, and then took a few irrelevant pieces to show the prince, and instructed the prince how to deal with this kind of thing - and then left the prince to have lunch in Xuanming Palace, so that in the afternoon, the father and son finally returned to their previous mode of getting along.

The prince then boldly probed: "The son has not seen the queen mother for some days, and I don't know if the father can allow the son to go and ask the queen mother to say goodbye?" ”

After Empress Wei was placed under house arrest, without the edict of the Son of Heaven, even the crown prince's biological son could not enter Weiyang Palace to visit.

In fact, the crown prince not only hopes to be able to visit Empress Wei, but also hopes that his mother can return to normal - but he is twelve or thirteen years old, so he naturally knows that if this matter is brought up directly, I am afraid that Emperor Duanhua will not like it, not only can he not help his mother, but he may even have to get into it.

So at this moment, I only mentioned asking An to observe Emperor Duanhua's reaction.

But Emperor Duanhua called him over today, originally to lift the ban on Empress Wei, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed: "Since this is the case, then you can go!" ”

The prince was surprised and delighted, and thanked him again and again - he couldn't stay in Xuanming Palace anymore, and looked out frequently.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Duanhua knew that the prince was between his parents, and he was obviously still more attached. Mother's, this is not surprising, after all, Emperor Duanhua himself was still receiving the orders of Emperor Xianjia until not long before Emperor Xianjia's death! How can you take the prince with you all day long?

The prince has been with Empress Wei for a long time since he was a child, and of course he is closer to Empress Wei.

However, Emperor Duanhua was still wary of Empress Wei, and after allowing the prince to go to Weiyang Palace now, he immediately thought: "Back then, my biological mother advised me to kill the king, but I refused because of my deeper relationship with the first emperor!" But the crown prince is better with the queen, if the queen lets him choose between his parents, I don't know how the prince will choose? ”

Thinking like this, the expression that originally saw the prince leave with a smile faded.

After the prince arrived at Weiyang Palace in a hurry, he told Empress Wei about the experience of this day, and said happily at the end: "Queen Mother, as soon as the son said that he would come to you to greet you today, my father will approve it!" It seems that the emperor's anger has passed, and it won't be a few days before you can go out and walk around! ”

sneered again, "Those individuals who were brought in by the Queen Mother before, especially that He Xiuyi, should also teach a lesson, lest they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they think that the Queen Mother has grounded you, so you can take advantage of it!" ”

In fact, He Xiuyi and the others have only been in the palace for so long, even He Xiuyi, who is the most favored, is too late to figure out the affairs of the six palaces at the moment, so it is naturally impossible to make things difficult for Empress Wei, let alone count the prince now - but the manpower of the East Palace was selected by Empress Wei when the prince was registered.

This time, Empress Wei was grounded, and she was most afraid that the prince would make a mistake, so she also strengthened the protection and mention of the prince openly and secretly.

Since these people are all members of the queen, of course they will not have any good feelings towards He Xiuyi, the five newcomers, and even be hostile.

Hearing and seeing, the prince naturally has no good voice towards these young concubines.

When Empress Wei heard this, she scolded unhappily: "How did you speak?" Who are you, Queen Mother? It's your grandmother! How can you call the word 'Queen Mother'?! As for He Xiuyi and them, entering the palace is your father's intention, you have the ability to tell your father to go, learn from that thing that chews his tongue, and hate a few little concubines who can't help themselves, what kind of instrument is this! If you don't learn it well, this palace will give you rules! ”

Although the queen is very happy that her son is on her side, her son will be the emperor in the future, and she doesn't want to raise an emperor with a small belly!

The prince was very filial, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly said: "The son is guilty!" Don't dare next time! ”

"You're the crown prince." Empress Wei slowed down her expression and taught him earnestly, "Now you are the prince, and you will be the son of heaven in the future." Therefore, you should have the measure of the Son of Heaven - even if your imperial grandmother may not have good intentions towards us for the sake of your Uncle Su, but she is your imperial grandmother one day, and you should treat her the same way you treat your grandmother! Because no matter how bad she is, she is also an elder and should be respected by you! Don't feel that you have been wronged by doing this, all the glory and wealth in this world need to pay a price to bear! ”

"I, the founding monarch of Darui, His Majesty Emperor Taizu, that is, your great-grandfather, when he overcame all obstacles and established Darui, it was an achievement of a knife and a gun, and the heroes in the troubled times at the end of Yongsha! In the middle of this, not only your uncles and great-uncles died on the battlefield, but even His Majesty Emperor Taizu himself also went through life and death several times, how difficult and dangerous?! ”

"Besides, your grandfather, the first emperor Xianjia, was originally the prince of the original concubine, just like you, but because of the rebellion between the Shentu clan and Zhenyuan, he also endured humiliation and burden, so he had the rule of the prosperous era later!"

"Compared with my ancestors, Wu'er is in a good situation now. Your imperial grandmother is the same as the queen mother, and she is from everyone's background! ”

"So even if she has malicious intentions towards us, she has always been affectionate and affectionate on her face, and she will not embarrass us in public!"

"So, shouldn't you respect her on the scene? After all, she loves you very much on the scene! ”

"How many people in this world have spent their lives in the fly camp dogs, and all they want is to have no worries about food and clothing!"

"And my son was born rich and noble, and in the future he will even be the lord of the world!"

"How can you not even bear the grievances of the district committee?!"

The queen's expression was very stern, "The Son of Heaven and the Prince are both related to the world's society, if you, the prince, are still fragile and vulnerable, how can you protect the thousands of Li Shu in the world?!" ”

The prince knelt on the ground to listen to the training, and when he heard this, he looked around, and saw that there was no one alive, so Fang said timidly: "But the retainers listen...... I heard that my father ...... him."

Speaking of which, I want to stop talking, obviously Emperor Duanhua has been doing things these days, and the prince also knows.

"So the queen mother gave the example of your great-grandfather and your grandfather, but she didn't give the example of your father." Empress Wei said lightly, "You don't want to follow your father's example. If you want to learn, learn from your grandfather! ”

She patted her side, "Okay, you can keep this thing in mind, so let's not talk about it now!" Come and sit here with the queen mother, and then tell the queen mother, today your father suddenly summoned you, and he was so affectionate to you, and you were allowed to come and greet the queen mother...... Why is that? ”

- Emperor Duanhua didn't know that since the prince entered school at the age of six, every time he met Emperor Xianjia, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Duanhua, the queen would carefully ask about the experience, and then summarize the gains and losses for his son, and instruct him on how to behave next time he encounters something similar.

The former likable King of Zhongling, and now the prince who made Emperor Duanhua unbearable, was not born with it.

The queen quietly listened to the prince's analysis and summary, and her phoenix eyes gradually narrowed: "Your Majesty is deliberately sparing the palace?" There must be a reason for such a suddenness...... I don't know if the Queen Mother has received this news? ”

Empress Wei said in her heart, Qingzhou Su, what will she do?

Also, those forces that are silent in the dark, such as Old Lady Duanmu, such as the Shen family and the Liu family......

If it was said that in the past, it was just an undercurrent, but now, on the side of the throne, the hidden undercurrent can be said to be surging.

If you are not careful, you will be crushed.

However, the supreme position is close at hand, who is willing to give up this ultimate honor in the world?
