There were only the emperor and King Cheng in the warm pavilion, and the father and son sat looking at each other.

King Cheng no longer cried, but his face was a little dull.

The emperor looked at King Cheng's expression, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, he fixed his mind and said: "You just said that you were puzzled and unconvinced in the court. Then tell your father what you don't understand and how you feel unfair. ”

King Cheng looked at the emperor with his somewhat dull gaze, and said word by word: "Why did my father make the ninth brother the crown prince instead of his son. ”

The emperor said: "Why is it not you who is the candidate for the crown prince, don't you really understand?"

"Erchen doesn't understand!" King Cheng suddenly said loudly with excited waiting eyes, his tone was full of anger, unwillingness, and his eyes were also angry and unwilling, and he was not sluggish.

The rude emperor did not get angry at the rude king, but said calmly: "You don't understand? Think about what you have done in the past two years." ”

King Cheng calmed down a little and said, "What have the sons done? Everything the sons have done is for the sake of the Great Wei Jiangshan!"

The emperor was a little angry when he saw that King Cheng did not realize his mistake in the slightest, but he thought about it and suppressed it.

"For the sake of the Great Wei Jiangshan, for the sake of the Great Wei Jiangshan, you can carry me behind your back and use traitors, not only making a mess of the court, but also making the people miserable. ”

King Cheng asked rhetorically: "What is a traitor? How did the retainers make a mess of the court? What is wrong with reusing those who obey the retainers?"

The emperor said: "Since ancient times, the Ming monarch has employed people who are sages and mediocre people, rather than those who only know how to slap horses." ”

King Cheng said: "But Erchen believes that the loyalty of his subordinates to the king is the most important. ”

The emperor was slightly angry, "You are all a fallacy! If you are surrounded by some mediocre and incompetent people, who only think about how to please and flatter you, and do not do practical things, how can Great Wei be good?"

King Cheng said: "As long as the king is talented, he can lead the country to strength." ”

The emperor said: "The king's own talents are indeed very important, but they also need the help of virtuous ministers. Since ancient times, which Ming Jun has not been surrounded by a lot of virtuous people?"

King Cheng said, "Why do we have to follow the example of the ancients? Are they all right?"

The emperor said: "Take copper as a mirror, you can dress properly, take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, why don't you understand this truth?"

King Cheng said: "Erchen just wants to take an unusual path and win the admiration of all generations." ”

The emperor was very disappointed by the realization and unrepentance of King Cheng, and he said, "Do you really think that you can do this?"

Cheng Wang said: "How do you know if it won't work if you don't give it a try?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "If our Great Wei hadn't been too powerful in the past, and the residual power still existed, so that the neighbors were jealous, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago." Therefore, we need a Ming Jun to lead the Great Wei to become strong again in time, instead of taking risks for the sake of your own unrealistic ideas like you. ”

King Cheng asked, "Then why can my father know that King Qi has this ability?"

The emperor said: "Because the errands he has done since he returned to Beijing are enough to prove that he has this ability." ”

King Cheng said: "When he did that errand, his father said that he could remember, why can't his father remember that his son has done so many errands?"

The emperor said: "Because of the errand that King Qi did, you can see his ability and see his quality." Of course, I remember the errands you did, the good ones, and the bad ones. If you have been studying modestly and devoting yourself to the court as you did in the early years, how could your father still recruit King Qi back?"

King Cheng said: "Erchen always thought that in his father's heart, the position of Erchen should be more important than that of the ninth brother, but I didn't expect Erchen to be wrong. The sons have worked hard for so many years, why can't they be worth a King of Qi who has been back for a few months in the heart of his father?!"

The emperor said: "You have always been by your father's side, and to be honest, your father has always regarded you as the only heir to the throne." After learning everything you have done in the past two years, my father did not change his mind. You also know that your father has also talked to you, and you have promised your father that you will reform yourself, but have you changed? So there is no way for your father to call King Qi back, I want you to have a sense of crisis, let you know that your father is not only a prince, if you do not repent, you will really lose the opportunity to be an emperor. But not only did you not correct it, but you also colluded with the forces of the rivers and lakes to put King Qi to death. He's your brother! Boiling beans and burning beans, my father doesn't understand how you can be so ruthless. ”

The emperor was a little excited and a little angry as he spoke.

King Cheng didn't expect the emperor to know so much about what he had done, and he couldn't help but be shocked. He secretly looked over and saw that the emperor did not show murderous intent, so he was relieved.

After the emperor calmed down, he continued: "But you are so aligned with the king, he has not fought back against you, and has not thought of killing you. Just because of this, you are inferior to him, and you are not worthy of being a prince and an emperor. ”

Although the emperor said ruthlessly enough, he was more angry and did not show the emperor's murderous intentions.

The emperor did not have murderous intentions, but the murderous intentions of the king rose.

A dangerous thought arose in his mind, but it only lasted a few breaths before it was calmly stifled by him.

Although the emperor is in poor health, he is also a person who knows martial arts, and his martial arts are not low, King Cheng knows that he is not an opponent, and he feels that there should be a master in the palace hidden in the dark.

Taking a step back, even if he can risk killing the emperor, Ji Xuan has just been announced as a candidate for the crown prince, although he has not been officially canonized, but if the emperor encounters an accident, he is still the primary heir to the throne.

The most important thing is that King Cheng himself was not prepared.

Seeing that King Cheng no longer answered, the emperor thought that he had figured it out, so he said softly: "The difficulty of Wancheng is caused by the competition for the throne between the princes and sons, so my father doesn't want to see such a thing happen between your brothers." There are only two of you left in my father's prince, listen to my father's words, you don't have any more grudges in your heart, and you can assist your ninth brother well. Brothers work together to break gold, and my father believes that as long as the two of you brothers are united, you will definitely be able to lead the Great Wei to become strong again. ”

King Cheng really figured it out, but what he wanted to understand was not the same thing as what the emperor wanted him to understand.

He looked at the emperor affectionately and said: "Since my father can say so much to my son, and I can forgive my son's mistakes and rudeness, my son must repent and reform himself, and do his best to help the ninth brother and realize his father's wishes." ”

The emperor said happily: "The emperor can figure it out, and my father is very relieved. ”

King Cheng knelt down and said, "Today, my father is overworked, so my sons will not disturb my father's rest." ”

The emperor said: "Father is indeed a little tired, you can go." ”

King Cheng bowed again, then got up and left.

Looking at the back of King Cheng leaving, the emperor seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be saying to someone, "I hope he can sincerely repent and stop doing anything out of the ordinary, otherwise I will have to endure it if I can't bear it." Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
