Chapter 45: A Story

Su Hanshan really went to ask his father...... In the early morning of the next day, he learned that his father usually read the recitals in the imperial study after the morning court, so he waited here for a long time.

After waiting for about an hour, he was anxious to miss the Fu Festival before he saw his father walking from the imperial garden towards the imperial study.

He greeted him......

In the pavilion in the lotus lake in the imperial garden, the elegant and noble Emperor Jingyou motioned for Su Hanshan to sit down: "What, I have to come and ask me for a reward before I am willing to go to Su Wu Temple?"

Su Hanshan said: "It's just that I completed the introductory homework delivered by the teacher ahead of schedule, where do I dare to ask my father for reward." ”

Emperor Jingyou stared at Su Hanshan: "Truth?"

Su Hanshan said: "Don't dare to deceive my father. Erchen is here today, there is really something ......"

Emperor Jingyou took the decoction from Wei Mink Temple, sniffed the bitter taste, and frowned slightly: "When did you learn so much from your fourth brother?" ”

Su Hanshan said: "Erchen wants to ask the ...... on the first floor."

Emperor Jingyou looked away from the decoction and looked at Su Hanshan with a majestic look.

Su Hanshan, who rarely saw his father so powerful, was puzzled, and thought to himself, could he have said the wrong thing? He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know whether he should continue to ask.

Emperor Jingyou inadvertently glanced at Wei Mink Temple waiting beside him, and the silver-haired old Chitose called back all the palace maids and eunuchs around him, and then retreated to a hundred steps away.

It was the first time that Su Hanshan had seen this kind of formation. At the moment, there was a vague feeling that his casual question seemed to have touched some secrets of his father.

Emperor Jingyou poured the decoction into his stomach with a sad face.

Su Hanshan's eyes were quick, and he handed over the piece of brocade cloth in the medicine plate.

Emperor Jingyou wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Do you know what the question means?"

Su Hanshan shook his head blankly.

Emperor Jingyou said: "The entire Sutang Empire knows that there is a relationship between me and the first floor, but it is only a few hands. Of the nine sons, you are the only one who dares to ask such a question in person. ”

Su Hanshan was secretly frightened.

Is it a secret that even the seventh brother doesn't know?

Although he had been prepared, he still felt that he had come into contact with some kind of core of the Sutang Empire. For a moment, he suddenly had the idea of dispelling the question.

Emperor Jingyou looked at the silent Lao Jiu and sighed: "It's okay." You'll know about it sooner or later, and it doesn't hurt to tell you now. ”

Su Hanshan looked at his father.

I only heard Emperor Jingyou look back on the past, and said with a stunned look on his face: "Among the six sons of the first emperor, I am not the most outstanding one in Wen Taowuluo. ”

Su Hanshan heard something: "You mean the Dragon King Su Jingyang?"

Emperor Jingyou nodded: "No matter how resourceful and martial, power, and open-mindedness, Emperor Jingyang is a well-deserved leader among all the brothers. ”

"Just ......"

Emperor Jingyou paused: "He is not born to the first emperor. ”

Su Hanshan was shocked in his heart! There were not many legends about the prince of Jingyang in the Su Tang Empire, but no one had ever heard of this.

Emperor Jingyou explained: "The first emperor had secretly told me and Emperor Jingyang about this matter, and other than that, no one else in the Nuoda Empire knew the truth. ”

Su Hanshan thought to himself, since he was not born by his ancestral father, no matter how arrogant he is, this emperor's position may not be possible......

Emperor Jingyou looked at Su Hanshan and said, "I know what you're thinking, but I'm telling you that the truth is not as dirty as you think. Emperor Jingyang was born to the same mother as my love, and if he wanted that dragon chair at that time, I would never say anything, and even implore the first emperor to depose me as the crown prince. ”

"Putting Su Tang Sheji in the hands of such a person, the first emperor can rest assured, and I am willing!"

Emperor Jingyou was affectionate and coughed a few times.

Su Hanshan looked at his father's face, a little distracted. He felt that he had seen a different Sutang Emperor today, a deeper side.

Emperor Jingyou continued: "I once agreed with Emperor Jingyang that after ascending the throne, the two of us brothers will work together to govern this magnificent country left by the first emperor and create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty that truly belongs to the Su and Tang Dynasties!"

"In fact, we did that. ”

"Half a year after I ascended the throne, I joined hands with Emperor Jingyang to calm the enemy and reorganize the dynasty inside, and to reassure the people under the will of heaven. Regardless of political strength, national strength, and military affairs, it is a thriving and prosperous scene. ”

"It wasn't until later that Princess Zhaojun of Beiyan married into Sutang ......"

Su Hanshan was surprised: "Mother?"

Emperor Jingyou sighed: "Yes, it is your mother. Brother Jingyang has feelings for your mother, and it is a pure feeling. He didn't hide it, but chose to confess to me. ”

He knew that he could no longer be as loyal to me and the people of his family and country as he had been without distractions, so he resigned from me as a prince and began to wander the rivers and lakes. ”

"It wasn't until your mother's death fifteen years ago that he set foot in the capital again. I've kept him in the capital ever since......"

Su Hanshan asked, "Isn't that the owner of the first floor the prince of Jingyang?"

Emperor Jingyou said, "He is now called Meng Shentong. ”

Su Hanshan was silent.

From his father's mouth, it can be guessed how high-spirited and talented the prince of Jingyang was back then, but in his later years, he became a member of the body and the owner of the restaurant on the first floor!

This kind of change seems to be too big! It is difficult for those who know the truth to accept!

Emperor Jingyou got up and walked towards the outside of the pavilion: "Okay." I have already said what I can say, you should also leave for Su Wu Temple now, if you miss the Fu Festival meeting, I am afraid that the reputation that Fu Jingtian has earned will be ruined by my own hands. ”

Su Hanshan, who was slightly stunned, got up to send his father off.

In fact, he still has many questions in his mind.

For example, why can the red Buddha clothes come and go freely in and out of the plum garden?

He knew that the four maids of Qinqi, calligraphy and painting all possessed the cultivation of the little master of the Martial Arts Quadruple Realm, so under normal circumstances, how could he let the red Buddha clothes trespass into the plum garden without turning a blind eye? Moreover, according to the observations of these days, the qinqi calligraphy and painting obviously recognized the red Buddha clothes, and even treated the latter with great respect. Sometimes, he is more respectful than himself, the lord of the Plum Garden Mansion!

Su Hanshan saw it in his eyes and felt that the red Buddha clothes seemed to be the master of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which made him incomprehensible!

With a sigh in his heart, he still hid this puzzle. Since his father didn't want to say it, he couldn't fight to the end......

Emperor Jingyou set up the imperial study.

Yes, as Su Hanshan expected, he had something to hide.

Not only to Su Hanshan, but also several other princes and even the old seventh Su Musha, he treated him equally, and never leaked half a sentence.

Because the secret hidden in the first floor involves the foundation of the Sutang Empire, it is not known to those who are entrusted by this country!

Although he loves Lao Jiu, it does not mean that he is alienated from the rest of the princes.

It's all his own flesh and blood, so what's the difference?

So he gives every child the same grace and impartiality. As for whose hands this Su Tang country falls into in the end, it depends on their own creation!

Only then will the secrets of the first floor be inherited.
