Chapter 375: Falling into a Dream
Zhao Wu knew that what the emperor said about his father and son being from Wu could only be a joke.
The ancient emperors were taboo about the concentration of military power, and their family would be like cooking oil on fire when it was prosperous, and it would be like the collapse of Mount Tai when it was declining.
He had felt so indecisive when he was younger, and now he owes his wife for her foresight.
"Your Majesty, Weichen can't tell me a lot because I feel that parents in the world have something in common." Zhao Wu lowered his head and said, "The emperor's painstaking efforts are to hope that the child can make contributions, and the painstaking work of the concubine before her death is to hope that the child can choose the life she wants. β
At this point, Zhao Wu is just betting on whether the emperor still has a little sincerity for Concubine Shu.
The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said, "That's it, Rong Zhen will think about it again." β
Zhao Wu respectfully stepped back.
Chang Shi came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's already time, let's rest early." β
The emperor opened a book and read half of it, but he felt that every word was dangling in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see it clearly, so he simply put it down and said, "That's it, I'm sitting alone." β
The attendant had no choice but to retreat.
The dragon in the huge palace was fine, and the golden splendor was so dazzling that the emperor looked around, and finally sensed a little cold in the middle of winter.
He tightened his grip and turned to walk towards the inner sanctum.
The portrait of the concubine still hangs there. The concubine on the painting is the same as before her death, with two or three smiles on her face, which makes people feel amiable when she looks at it.
"E'er, you said that you have no regrets when you enter the palace, so why don't you want our children to become the king of a country?"
Chen E in the portrait just smiled.
"You have never complained once before me. Looking back, there were many unpeaceful situations after you entered the palace, and I also know that it was I who failed to take care of you. β
"I want our child to inherit the throne and give him the best things, which is also your compensation, so you don't appreciate it?"
"Since I made this decision, everyone around me has come to persuade me, and I have been confused for a while...... I remember that my mother was willing to sacrifice in order for me to inherit the throne. β
Concubine Shu still had no words.
The emperor was worried, and talked to himself for a while in front of the portrait of the concubine, and finally fell asleep sleepily for a while.
In a trance, he saw Concubine Shu walking in from outside with a smile in her hand, holding a cloak in her hand, and said to him, "Why is the emperor asleep here?" Beware of colds. β
The emperor held Concubine Shu's hand, full of emotion, I don't know where to start, and it took a long time to say: "E'er, after so long, you are finally willing to come as I dreamed." β
Concubine Shu smiled: "The concubine didn't come, not because she didn't want to, but the emperor was busy, and the concubine didn't want to disturb the emperor's dream." β
The emperor smiled and asked, "Why are you here today?" β
Concubine Shu lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "The concubine has been thinking about the emperor for the past few days, and I am here to solve the emperor's doubts." Speaking of the events of the year, it was really a helpless move of the concubine, the concubine, cousin and sister only hoped that Yu'er would grow up safely, and did not expect anything else, and the concubine did not care about what the emperor was thinking, it was the concubine's fault. β
The emperor patted her hand and smiled faintly.
Concubine Shu said: "The concubines often think that when they met, the emperor said that he envied the harmony of the father's kindness and filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers in the concubines' family...... The concubine thought, this is not what the emperor wants, why is it in such a situation? β
The emperor suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he did say such things, and envied these things that could not be obtained.
The emperor never said these words again, maybe he forgot it, maybe he was tired, but the concubine always remembered. The concubine thought that since he couldn't change the past, the concubine could at least give the emperor a caring child, without worrying about fighting for power, in his heart, the emperor was his father, and he was a father who wanted to be respected and cared for all his life. β
When Concubine Shu said this, she smiled with tears in her eyes, "At that time, the concubine thought it was a fool's dream. The concubine thought that if I could live longer, I would find a way to meet this child and teach him. My cousin and sister are very attentive, this kid is quite capable and sensible, right? β
The emperor remembered what Yang Yu had done, and smiled bitterly: "Capable is capable, but he doesn't know how thick he is." β
Concubine Shu smiled: "Then please ask the emperor to teach me patiently." β
The emperor paused for a moment and asked again: "E'er, do you really want our children to become the king of a country?" β
Concubine Shu shook her head.
"What the concubine wants to give to the emperor is a good son, and the concubine is not blessed to raise a good emperor in the country. This little wish is also requested by the emperor to fulfill it. β
"What if people with ulterior motives use him to make a fuss, or keep seeing him as a thorn in their side?"
Concubine Shu smiled: "Yu'er's smart place is like the emperor, the emperor can rest assured." β
"Okay."
The emperor nodded, and finally asked: "E'er, don't you really regret entering the palace with me?" β
Concubine Shu looked at the emperor with a smile: "The concubine is willing." What the concubine hopes for in this life is just to stay with the emperor for a lifetime and stay with her son, and the concubine is already satisfied. β
The emperor suddenly thought of something and asked, "You took his name?" β
Concubine Shu smiled with tears in her eyes: "When I sent the child out of the palace, I decided on this name. β
Encounter, encounter, encounter.
If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.
The emperor finally understood, and he suddenly felt a joy in his heart, and two lines of old tears slid down his cheeks. He held Concubine Shu's hand, as if in an instant he had returned to the scene when they had just met in their twentiesβthe sorrow and wrinkles on the emperor's face had been erased, and he had become as radiant as Concubine Shu.
"I see."
The emperor muttered in his sleep.
When the emperor woke up, the incense pieces in the incense burner had just finished burning, and the attendants were about to replace them with new ones.
"Didn't the prince send a new one yesterday? Give it a try. β
Chang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then happily agreed: "Yes, the old slave will go and get some of it." β
When the attendant came back, the emperor said: "Call the people from the Ministry of Rites later, the ceremony has dragged on for so long, it is not appropriate to go any further." β
The attendant hurriedly agreed and ordered someone to pass the word.
When the emperor was arranging, he thought about whether to wait for Yang Yu to return to the capital, but after thinking about it, why bother, this kid found an excuse to prevaricate him, and went to Jinzhou in a blink of an eye, maybe he felt that it was better to wait for everything to settle down.
So in this way, Wei Xi's position as the prince was finally settled.
