Chapter 6: Rejecting the Crown Prince
Shu Zhaoyi was stupid, the maids who usually hit the gate of the palace never shouted to themselves Shu Zhaoyi, Shu Niangniang, today she had to be raised by the King of Qi, and shouted a Lady Niangniang, and she was not scared to death.
"How dare I dare, how can I stand the sound of the King of Qi, see the King of Qi......" Shu Zhaoyi hurriedly got up, tidied up her clothes, and bowed to the first dust of the east.
"The son is late, and let this person provoke the dignity of the lady, but also insulted the character of the lady, who does not know that in the harem, headed by the queen mother, virtuous and virtuous, dignified conduct has won the reputation of the world, the concubine is the queen of the mother's footsteps, self-discipline and dignified, virtuous, the steps of the hall, although the appearance is the same as the concubine Niangniang, but the appearance is far from the same, but it is easy to be easy, easy to rare. ”
Dong Chuchen's eyes were suddenly cold, like a knife flashing through Concubine Xian's eyes, and in the blink of an eye at will, Concubine Xian was so frightened that she lost her soul and lost her soul.
King Qi will be the crown prince next, even if she is a concubine, she will not dare to snub the prince for half a point, not to mention that she is unreasonable first, and she will not be recognized for anything, so she doesn't have to say anything.
"Minions...... The slave greets the King of Qi!" Zhao Ming just reacted, and then knelt at the feet of Dong Chuchen, not daring to raise his head, not daring to speak, and not daring to move again.
They all know that Dong Chuchen kills people without blinking, he laughs at you one moment, drinks tea and chats, and the next second the long sword pierces his heart, and he doesn't know how to die.
Qi ...... King Qi ...... "The concubine on the steps was flushed, bowed her head slightly, it was considered a salute, and the left and right slaves around her stood steadily, and the concubine was afraid and did not dare to move.
"Who's making a noise outside the temple?"
He Hui's voice floated from the main hall, and Dong Chuchen fell to the ground, respectfully worshipping.
"See your father's father. ”
After Dong Chuchen bowed, several people in front of the hall were also busy kneeling.
"Dust, come in. ”
He Hui's voice was wide, even if he spoke on weekdays, he was also majestic, making Concubine Xian, who was kneeling in front of the main hall, and Zhao Ming, the father-in-law of De, shiver unconsciously.
"Yes. Dong Chuchen got up, turned his head and glanced at Shu Zhaoyi uneasily, then raised his head slightly to look at the Splendid Garden in the distance, and got up and entered the Shangshu Palace.
After Dong Chuchen entered, Shu Zhaoyi bowed to the concubine who had not yet recovered from the turmoil and retreated.
Concubine Xian looked at the food box in the hand of the maidservant, which was originally a mung bean soup newly cooked for the emperor, afraid that it would be hot, so she put it in the food box full of cold water as soon as it was cooled, and in order to quickly hand it to the emperor and ask him to taste it, she deliberately wore embroidered shoes with short soles, and hurried to come, this will, I am afraid that it will be hot again.
"Mother, don't stand under the sun, be careful of heat stroke. The personal maid Shu'er fanned the concubine while persuading the concubine.
"My heart is so cold, what kind of heat are I afraid of!" Concubine Xian said angrily.
Shu'er didn't say anything anymore, lowered her head and just fanned the fan.
"Wait a little longer......" Concubine Xian's eyes looked at the Shangshu Hall, her expression was lonely and lonely, her tone softened, she took the food box in Shu'er's hand, and kept telling Shu'er to fan the food box with a fan to keep it cool.
"See the father and the emperor, the queen mother, long live the father and the emperor, long live the mother, and the queen mother is a thousand years old and a thousand years old. Dong Chuchen just walked into the door of the main hall and knelt down to worship.
"Hahaha, my dust just understands etiquette, I'm afraid I forgot, my father called you to come to discuss state affairs, but you came to see your father is a family matter, my father, my father, my mother, I and your mother are bound. ”
The queen chuckled, her lips were too small, and she smiled as if she had no smile.
After He Hui finished his words, he waved his hand and put away his pen and said, "Get up." ”
"Father Xie, Queen Mother. ”
Dong Chuchen got up, He Hui got straight to the point and said, "Chen'er, your father and your mother have already intended you to be the prince, and then what you want to do and say, there will be a teacher from the Hanlin Academy to teach you, you have to study modestly, in the future, the burden of your father will fall on your head, hahaha." He Hui laughed heartily, regardless of the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.
"Erchen asks his father to forgive the death penalty to Erchen!" After hearing this, Dong Chuchen did not rejoice, but knelt on the ground again and solemnly pleaded guilty.
The queen raised her eyebrows lightly, and glanced at Dong Chuchen, who was kneeling on the ground and hanging her head, not knowing what he meant.
"Chen'er has something to say, how could my father condemn you!" He Hui carefully looked at the poem that had just been written, and kept nodding and smiling, liking his own words very much.
"Father, the son knows that his qualifications are still shallow, his talents are negligent, his ability is weak, and he will not be able to afford the position of the prince of a country, and he also asks his father not to establish the foundation of the country for his own selfish desires. Dong Chuchen's words and expressions were not shocked, such as Wen Run's son was humble and polite, but he had no ambition, only looking at the ground and a brick of land, with God in his eyes, but no heart.
The queen was naturally shocked, but except for the slight change in her expression, there was no panic.
But seeing that He Hui crossed out all the words at the end of the book, shook his head, and was full of dissatisfaction, and the three points of anger between his eyebrows were about to come out, but he was pressed back into his eyes, turned into a smile, and smiled.
"How do you say that?" He Hui frowned, hooked his lips, angry and happy, the queen knew that this expression was either pretending to be angry or pretending to be laughing, no matter what, it was terrifying.
"The son knows that his father is conscientious and conscientious in governing the country, and there are many opportunities every day, and there are enemies and countries who have repeatedly come to attack, and there are traitors inside to shake the country's foundation, and the father is exhausted, and sometimes he is tired, but his father may wish to take a look at his body is obviously strong and middle-aged, like the sun, the people support the love of the ministers, and the monarch is magnificent, how can he be greedy and lazy and set up the prince early, it is too early. ”
Dong Chuchen said that he was neither humble nor arrogant, but he looked at the black jade masonry on the ground, reflecting his indifferent and calm eyebrows and eyes, and reflecting the humility and elegance of not wanting to be a king.
"Do you want to make you the crown prince? or do you not want to call me the crown prince?"
Dong Chuchen looked at the bright floor, looked at the woman reflected in the memories in the floor, hooked her lips, raised her eyebrows, turned around with joy and anger, smiled and looked back, all of them were a good scene, if she was not the emperor's prince, if she was not born in the emperor's family, in such a hot and sullen summer, she would not be bored and bored if she drank and wrote poetry. It's just that at this moment, it's impossible to even put on the pillar incense.
Dong Chuchen raised his head and said solemnly, "The son only knows that in this world, there is no one comparable to his father. ”
Dong Chuchen sent out a word, and there were dozens of servants and maids in the main hall, silently, and the sound of breathing could not be heard.
"Hahahaha......" A loud laugh broke the silence and broke the cold atmosphere in the Shangshu Hall, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of the heart and the gall that was hanging.
"Chen'er said so, I really can't persuade anymore, since that's the case, the position of the prince can be empty, and when I am really too old to move, it will be passed on to you, not too late. ”
The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth was revealed, and she whispered, "Long live Your Majesty, the body of the Son of Heaven, the body of a true dragon, how can you be old?"
He Hui glanced at the queen, and his joy could not be hidden.
He Hui didn't say it in his mouth, but he was very happy in his heart, first, Dong Chuchen would not have the heart of arrogance, and second, Dong Chuchen said so, of course, his throne is willing to do it for a longer time, and then longer, if the prince is really established, as soon as he comes and goes, the ministers of the court will have a rebellion, in this way, the prince's ascension to the throne means that the emperor's position is imminent.
The queen was overjoyed, and she didn't know what the yellow calendar was today, and Dong Chuchen actually asked herself to see the prince.
The queen stood aside, but it was difficult to say anything, and if she said anything now, the emperor would be aware of her selfishness.
He Hui was happy, but his face was unabated, and he shook his head and refused to allow it.
"If you don't take the position of crown prince, what good do I want to give you?" He Hui was in trouble, covering his forehead, and motioned for the queen to rub his head.
If He Hui has something in his heart, he will have a headache, and at this moment, on the surface, he is afraid that he has something on his mind.
"The sons just want to tease the birds and fish, and don't want to pay attention to the affairs of the court, and ask the father and the emperor not to give the sons any positions, so that the sons and daughters can be idle. ”
"You are the king of Qi! You are not an ordinary prince, you have made great contributions! I don't give you real things, so what do the ministers think of me!"
He Hui was furious, smashed the pile of political papers on the desk, was furious, and shouted so much that the servants and maids in the upper hall fell to their knees and did not dare to speak.
The queen was also taken aback, bowing behind He Hui, not daring to persuade.
Dong Chuchen raised his eyes and swept it, and saw the minister's words on the political scroll that He Hui 'unintentionally' scattered, every word was to persuade He Hui to send Dong Chuchen to guard Luoyang Pass, almost on the same day, all the ministers, good and bad, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the emperor, almost all of them.
"Erchen is actually hiding his selfishness in his chest and dare not speak frankly. Dong Chuchen's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, cautious.
"Say!"
"Humane Luoyang Pass is easy to attack the city and difficult to defend the city, and the son is loved by his father and the emperor to assist General Qingyuan to capture Luoyang Pass,...... The son wants to guard Luoyang Pass, please ask his father for permission. ”
Dong Chuchen said calmly, Hehui's eyes flashed with joy, he hesitated for a long time, and sighed in a deep voice, "Accurate." ”
Redraft the holy decree, immediately seal the king of Qi Dongchuchen as the king of Pingdong, and guard Luoyang Pass.
The queen smiled, what King Pingdong, isn't he the lord of a city, he will not be too close to the east and not far away, he will not be too close to threaten the throne, and he will not be too far away to rebel. He Hui is the emperor, the emperor's family, where there are fathers and sons, they are all monarchs and ministers.
He Hui smiled, Dong Chuchen really lived up to hope, it is good to have no arrogance, I only hope that you will never have it.
Dong Chuchen was also satisfied, he didn't want to be the prince, but he just happened to be able to hold Luoyang Pass, killing two birds with one stone, and getting the best of both worlds.
"Thank you, Father!"
Concubine Xian was waiting at the door with fragrant sweat, and under the eaves of the majestic Shangshu Palace, she was pacing with broken steps, although she was wearing cold ice jade shoes under her feet, but she still burned the soles of her feet and burned her forehead.
Dong Chuchen pushed the door and walked out, and when he saw that Concubine Xian was still there, he bowed down and turned to leave.
Concubine Xian also hurriedly returned the salute, standing at the door and not knowing whether to go in or not.
Zhao Ming stood not far away, saluted Dong Chuchen's back, and hurriedly ran to Concubine Xian's side, bowed and saluted, "Please wait a little longer, our queen is still there." ”
Zhao Ming sneered, Concubine Xian glanced at Zhao Ming, saw Zhao Ming bowing his head beside him, didn't say anything, and stood at the door waiting.
