Chapter 49: The Enemy
"Xiao Chunzi, is this Tangmen poison a strange poison in the world?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"If there is no cure, is there no cure?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Then for example, ha, you said that if I accidentally dropped this antidote on the ground and shattered it, would my father have to die directly?"
"Uh...... Theoretically, yes, Your Highness! ”
"Then I'm not going to ascend the throne directly?"
“……”
I only heard a "bang", and then came the exaggerated scream of the king's authority, "Damn, I accidentally broke it!" ”
At this time, the emperor on the bed was in a cold sweat, this Tangmen poison was obtained from a Tangmen woman when he was young, the effect of the medicine was very magical, although it can make people comatose all the time after taking it, but they can still feel the outside world, the conversation between Wang Quanquan and Xiaochunzi just now came into his ears word for word, and the more he listened, the more terrifying it became, until the last sound of porcelain breaking made his heart cold, this rebel was clearly intentional!
Just as he was screaming helplessly in his heart, he suddenly felt his teeth being pried open, and a cool liquid flowed down his throat into his abdomen. He only felt a heat in his abdomen, and after a while, he felt that he could move his fingers and limbs, and the emperor opened his eyes and sat up.
As soon as he got up, he saw Wang Quanquan looking at him with a smile, and there was a broken spoon on the ground not far away, and he instantly understood when he saw this.
"Yo! Father woke up? The father's sleep can hurt the child's busy for several days! ”
The emperor, who was teased and wanted to get angry, couldn't help but blush when he heard Wang Quanquan say this, and wanted to explain, but Wang Quanquan waved his hand, "I'm too tired to close my eyes these days, since my father has woken up, it's my son's turn to go back and make up for sleep." Then he walked away.
When he returned to the palace, he slept until the next afternoon, and when he woke up, he was ready to eat something casually, and then went to the palace to resign from the identity of the prince, he never intended to be the prince from the beginning, and he was purely driven by the emperor to put a duck on the shelf. Now that Xiaochunzi and the emperor are safe and sound, he is still more willing to be an idle prince.
"What? You repeat! ”
"Back to my father, my son doesn't want to be this prince anymore."
"National affairs, how can you say that you will not do it, believe it or not, I will cure you for the crime of defrauding the king?"
The king's authority spread his hands, "Father, it's not kind for you to talk like this, this matter has been a trap from beginning to end, and it is reasonable that you are bullying me, how dare I bully the king?" ”
"I handed over the state to you, and I didn't treat you badly."
"Erchen doesn't mean this, it's just that the twisted melon is not sweet, Erchen has always been lazy, he really can't be this prince, and I ask my father to forgive me." Then the king bowed deeply.
"You!" The emperor was also speechless for a while when he heard this, and was silent for a while before finally speaking, "Other people are vying to be this prince, but you can't avoid it." ”
The kingship still bent down and did not get up. In fact, it's not that he really doesn't want to be this emperor, it's just that the third generation of emperors of the dynasty has a name and surname written in the history books.
In the first 500 years of the dynasty, the emperor was called the emperor, although the real name was recorded in the history books, but it was relatively rare, and the later dynasty experienced several turbulences, resulting in cultural discontinuity.
Seeing that the king couldn't afford to give courtesy, the emperor lost his temper, "That's it, you really can't hold up the wall in the mud, since you really don't want to, then I won't force it." ”
Wang Quanquan raised his head at this time, with a bright smile on his face, "Father is really reasonable, worthy of a generation of Ming Jun!" ”
The emperor had an expression of hatred on his face, "You don't need to shoot the sycophants, let's have a few drinks with me tonight." ”
"Gotcha!"
At night, the Ankang palace is brightly lit, a table of eight immortals is set up in the courtyard of the palace, the table is full of all kinds of delicacies, and there is a fire on the side, on the fire a fat sheep is roasted to the oil, and the aroma fills the whole palace.
"Come, father, try the beer that the child brewed recently."
"Beer?" The Emperor looked at the yellow liquid in the glass cup suspiciously, could this thing be urine? Looking at the king on the other side, it seemed that there was no problem with drinking it one by one, and the emperor took a tentative sip. There is a bitterness in the mouth at first, but then there is a mellow aroma, and after swallowing, there is a sweetness, and the taste is better than the spicy liquor.
"Well, it tastes good."
"If the emperor likes it, bring a bucket back, but drink it quickly, it will be bad after a long time."
A barrel? How does it sound like pee? The corners of the Emperor's mouth twitched, "That's not necessary. ”
"What's polite to me, by the way, father, the child has always had something unclear, I hope my father will solve his doubts."
"Say."
"How did you conclude that I was pretending to be crazy and stupid, and why did you dare to bet on me, not afraid that I was really a straw bag?"
After drinking a glass of wine, the emperor glanced at Wang Quanquan and said, "Do you remember the first time we drank?" ”
"First time drinking? Oh remember, it was five years ago. Wang Quanquan pondered for a long time and replied.
"That time I looked through the books on the shelves in your room, I thought those books were just decorations for you, but I didn't expect that each one of them had traces of being flipped, and I had seen it more than once."
"Father really knows everything." The king's authority is still flattering, and the emperor who is familiar with his character is too lazy to deal with him, and continues: "I also heard what you said when you were drunk later, and now it seems that you have indeed done it." ”
After the emperor finished speaking, his eyes stared at the king's authority, but the king's authority still looked indifferent.
"Oh, who doesn't have a young and frivolous time, I am the kind of person who is ambitious and arrogant one moment ago, and the next moment he lies on the bed and doesn't want to get off the kang, and there will be nothing to do in this life."
The Emperor shook his head, "You can do well, it's just that you don't want to." ”
Wang Quanquan also learned from the emperor and shook his head, "I'm too tired, so it's all your own guess, not that Xiaochunzi told the truth?" ”
The Emperor shook his head.
Seeing this, Wang Quanquan beckoned to the steward of the palace, and the steward stepped forward and asked, "What does the lord command?" ”
The king's authority whispered to the steward, but the content was clearly heard by the emperor on the side: "That, Xiao Chunzi can be released from the firewood room." ”
"Yes, sir."
Watching the butler leave, the emperor sighed helplessly.
"What does Father plan to do with the Four Princes and the Anbei Palace?"
"What do you think?"
Instead, the emperor threw the problem back to the kingship.
Wang Quanquan once asked Yang Guifei about the life experience of the four princes, only to know that his mother was a princess of a small northern country, fled to the dynasty Kyoto after being exterminated, and was somehow elected to the palace as a concubine, and later gave birth to the four princes, and hanged himself when the four princes were ten years old, as for the reason, no one knows.
"Father, does the emperor know why the four princes rebelled?" The royal authority suddenly asked the emperor a mysterious question.
"Why?"
"Does the father know about the beggar Harba?"
The emperor, who was still curious, instantly turned gloomy after hearing this name, and his eyes were full of evil anger, this name was one of the few taboos that could not be mentioned.
"How did you know about Halba?" The emperor's tone was not good.
But the king was not angry, but smiled.
