Chapter 388: Make Him the Crown Prince
When the emperor heard this, he turned his head and said to Ning Huaijing, "Jing'er, do you want to be this emperor?" ”
Ning Huaijing looked at Ning Huaiyu, who was closer to the emperor, and felt a burst of disappointment and pain in his heart, the two grew up together and left Beijing together for two years, but whether it was in the past or now, in the heart of his father, the most beloved person will always be Ayu.
My father is now in the prime of life, and the distribution of the army is also very reasonable, so whether it is Ning Huaiyuan or him, they can't set off much storm, and the most beloved person in the emperor's heart is always Ah Yu, which means that the power of the entire dynasty is in Ah Yu's hands, so what else can I fight for?
Today's turmoil, on the surface, it seems that the prince colluded with Prime Minister Jiang Cheng to force the palace to seize the throne, but now he finally sees clearly that this is the father and the emperor to remove the obstacles before Ayu's registration! Originally, he didn't have such a clear idea in his heart, but now that his father directly asked him about such a sensitive topic, what could he mean? If he said he wanted to, then his father would use this as an excuse to say that he was the same as the crown prince, although he was not a conspiracy, he also took the opportunity to rebel. If he said he didn't want it, his father would give the throne to Ah Yu smoothly.
The more Ning Huaijing thinks about it, the more cold he feels in his heart, in the two years outside the Saiwai, Ah Yu has been playing hard, and has never taken off the child's heart, but he galloped on horseback, and made great contributions to Daning, I don't know how many times he has repelled the attack of Beirong, even the Marquis of Zhenyuan said that he was a natural general, which made the Beirong royal family frightened. He worked so hard in order to make more meritorious contributions to his father. But now it seems that all the years of hard work are just for Ah Yu to make wedding clothes.
Ning Huaijing's heart was desolate, and he suddenly felt that everything in front of him had no meaning, what about the throne? What about the country? After all, it has nothing to do with him.
"Second Brother ......"
Seeing that Ning Huaijing didn't speak, Ning Huaiyu called softly, the usual hanging Erlang disappeared without a trace, at this time, His Royal Highness King Yu's eyes were sincere and bright, his expression was solemn and solemn, and there was an awe-inspiring and inviolable nobility and pride between his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Ning Huaijing's body, which was complete trust and worship. For more than ten years, he respects his second brother the most, and this respect and trust even exceeds that of his father and eldest brother.
Ning Huaijing sighed and said to the emperor, "The sons and daughters obey their father's will. ”
I am absolutely unwilling to admit that I don't want this throne myself, but if you have to give it to Ah Yu, I can't help it.
The emperor smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, patted Ning Huaijing's shoulder, sighed and said, "You can say that, my father is very pleased." My father died nine times today, for the sake of the Qianqiu Sheji of the Daning Dynasty. This is absolutely unwilling to see the disaster and the wall of trouble, your brothers killing each other, and now you are willing to take a step back, that is the best. I will draft a decree now and make a prince......"
Ning Huaijing waited for the emperor to announce the final decision with a cold face, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Ning Huaiyu suddenly said, "Father, Erchen has always been careless so that he can't take such a big responsibility, Erchen thinks that the second brother is the most suitable for the throne." ”
The emperor's warm eyes looked at Ning Huaiyu deeply, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Yu, have you thought about it?" Do you really not want this throne? This is what your big brother desperately wanted! ”
Ning Huaiyu looked at the emperor gently, and said softly, "Father, Erchen knows that you love Erchen, and Erchen once thought of being a good prince with both civil and military skills like the second brother according to his father's requirements, but Father, this is too hard, not to mention being the emperor, Erchen watches the second brother get up early every day and be greedy for darkness every day, practice martial arts and read books, sleep the least every day, do the hardest, and always guard against someone calculating to assassinate him, father, Erchen doesn't want to suffer that crime, let the second brother do this kind of drudgery!" Look at the second brother, he was born with this kind of hard work. But Erchen can't do it, Erchen just wants to play in the mountains and rivers, eat, drink and have fun, and my second brother protects me, and I will eat and drink for the rest of my life. ”
Hearing these words, the emperor didn't speak for a long time, just looked at Ning Huaiyu with deep eyes, but Ning Huaiyu has always been very calm, his eyes are open and clear, without any impurities, and after a while, the emperor finally sighed and said, "That's it, since you said so yourself, I won't force you." The position of the crown prince will be passed to your second brother! ”
Ning Huaijing has been expressionless, silently listening to the dialogue between the emperor and Ning Huaiyu, but his heart seems to be turning a monstrous wave. He had always thought that the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince was Ning Qi, and he had never regarded Ning Huaiyu as an opponent, but today he found out that his younger brother was not as he appeared, and he was very wrong.
Sure enough, hearing these words, he finally understood that his father had always wanted to pass the throne to Ah Yu, and he suddenly remembered that many years ago, his father's favorite woman was Ah Yu's mother, since Ah Yu's mother died, there has never been a newcomer in the harem, which shows how deep his feelings are for her, because the love is too deep, so he wants to leave the best things to her son!
But Ah Yu didn't want it, what he and his eldest brother dreamed of, Ah Yu abandoned it. My father has now personally said that he will make him the crown prince, but I don't know why, my mood is not as excited and happy as I imagined?
Ning Huaijing raised his eyes to look at the emperor and Ning Huaiyu, in their eyes, he saw the kind of warmth that only ordinary fathers and sons have, and his father had never looked at himself with such a gaze, only when facing Ah Yu, his father would have such eyes.
Ning Huaijing knew in his heart that the conversation between the emperor and Ah Yu just now was just a joke, it was for him to hear, and his father didn't really want to pass the throne to Ah Yu at all, he just wanted to protect Ah Yu by doing so.
Ah Yu's personality is not suitable for being an emperor at all, he is lazy and playful, and he is not interested in court politics at all, which his father knows better than anyone else. But no matter who becomes the prince and who becomes the emperor in the future, Ah Yu, as his father's most beloved son, will not have a good life, and even worry about his life.
And now, in front of his father and all his subordinates, let Ah Yu give up this precious position of prince to himself, this love, this gift, after he takes over, he will be good to Ah Yu for the rest of his life, and he will be grateful for Ah Yu's kindness for a lifetime.
At the same time, in this way, the father made himself understand that he was a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and he would not have any other thoughts about the throne at any time, and he would not threaten himself, and even his doubts about Ah Yu in the future were eliminated. His father's heart for Ah Yu really made him sad and jealous.
"Your Highness, don't hurry up and thank the emperor!"
Ning Huaijing kept his head down and didn't speak, even if the emperor was the crown prince for him, he was neither surprised nor happy, as if he hadn't heard it at all, in a daze, so that his subordinates behind him were a little anxious, and couldn't help but remind him out loud.
Ning Huaijing's face showed a helpless wry smile, and he saluted the emperor and said, "Thank you, Father, Emperor Longen." ”
The people next to him all congratulated Ning Huaijing, and after some excitement, the emperor ordered Ning Huaiyuan and Jiang Chengxiang and others to be temporarily locked in a prison cell, waiting for tomorrow's interrogation before dealing with it, although Ning Qiluo Yunshuang and others were very tired, but after all, after the matter was resolved, they all felt very relaxed, so they all went to Ning Huaijing's house to celebrate him.
"Ouch, I've been so tired for the past two days! Second brother, quickly take out your good wine! Ning Huaiyu slapped the table and shouted.
Ning Huaijing sneered, "My good wine? My good wine is still a rarity with you? Even if I don't take it, don't you still drink it secretly? ”
"Hey, you can't say that, second brother, you don't know how tired I have been in the past two days! Is it easy for me to deal with the guy my big brother sent? Fortunately, I am such a smart person, if I had changed to someone else, I would definitely not have been able to complete this task! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Luo Yunshuang laughed and said, "It's only if you don't do your job all day long, even if something goes wrong, that person will only think it's your nature, and won't doubt it." If it's someone else, it's really not so easy to hide it. ”
At this time, the subordinate sent a few jars of wine, Ning Huaiyu took one and held it in his arms, pouted and said, "Ah Yun, this is not a good thing, I haven't said anything about you yet, didn't you say it a long time ago that you are a play?" You husband and wife are too ruthless, aren't they? What a conscience! ”
A group of people were happy, all to celebrate Ning Huaijing, but Ning Huaijing didn't seem to be very happy, and most of them drank alone.
Luo Yunshuang looked at him like this, thought about it, and knew what he was struggling with, turned her head to see that everyone was busy drinking and laughing, and no one was paying attention to this, she patted Ning Huaijing's shoulder and said, "Ah Jing, are you unhappy?" ”
Ning Huaijing glanced back at him, and said with a faint wry smile, "What's wrong with me?" Now that I am already the prince, one person is above ten thousand people, and I am afraid that I am the happiest now! ”
"Okay, what are you pretending to be in front of me?" Luo Yunshuang sighed, "Ah Jing, there are some things that I think about too much, and I embarrass myself. The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, in fact, the emperor treats you and Ah Yu is almost the same, maybe because of Ah Yu's character, the emperor loves him more, but this does not mean that the emperor does not love you. You have been self-reliant and mature since you were a child, and the emperor is at ease with you.
In the emperor's heart, you are the most suitable candidate to be the crown prince, and the reason why he is doing so today is just that he is afraid that after a hundred years, you and Ayu's brother Ni Wall, you must not cause trouble for yourself, understand? ”
Ning Huaijing looked at Luo Yunshuang for a while, and suddenly smiled faintly, "I didn't expect that this girl of yours would be comforting now, you said so, if I still can't figure it out, wouldn't I be too careful?" ”
Luo Yunshuang laughed again, "That's good, Ah Yu's temperament, I have to rely on you in the future, you can't drill the horns." ”
"No, it won't." Ning Huaijing said. Ah Yu is his younger brother, and he will protect this younger brother no matter what time it is. But I'm afraid no one will believe it, but fortunately, he won't say it, he just knows it in his heart.
Everyone talked happily until midnight, and then they dispersed.
Ning Qi and Luo Yunshuang slept well all night after returning home, but they didn't want to hear news from the palace early the next morning, saying that Ning Huaiyuan, who was locked up in the prison, was gone......
