It's a pity that the prince can't do anything at the moment, because he is really busy today, and he was so busy that he turned on the lights and locked the locks at night.
The next day, he finished the class of Confucian offering wine, and found that today's booklets were a bit short, so he happily transferred to Daming Palace, wanting to see the Crown Princess, and meet Zhou Man by the way.
Who knew that Zhou Man was not with the princess.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "She and Mingda Changyu went to Prince Gong's place."
She suppressed a smile and said: "I heard that Prince Gong has been treating illnesses for the past two days, and today is the second day, so I don't know what's going on."
The prince really wanted to go and have a look, but at this time the emperor was in the front hall, and many courtiers were there, so in order not to cause trouble for himself, he decided not to go.
So he turned to the emperor to listen to politics.
It just so happened that the emperor had thought a lot these two days, and felt that he had been too strict with the prince in the past, so that the relationship between father and son had deteriorated, so he was very gentle with him today.
Facing the emperor's smile, the prince somehow thought of what Zhuang Xun said yesterday.
The two of them talked a lot yesterday, including the difficult situation of the emperor being suspected by the late emperor when he was young. Although the prince had some doubts about the emperor, he still listened to some of Zhuang Xun's words.
Zhuang Xun said, "Your Majesty is a man of great virtue and great ambition. He wants to be a famous emperor through the ages. If he had a chance, why would he make himself famous for disobeying his father and harming his brothers?"
Of course the prince knew, because he almost made the same choice as his father back then, but if there was still a chance of survival, why would he think of rebelling
Wasn't it because he couldn't see a way out that he wanted to fight for his life
In the past, he would say that his father did the same thing.
But now, he can actually say that he understands his father's situation back then, because not long ago, he was in the same situation as his father.
And Mr. Zhuang said, "Since your highness understands your majesty, why don't you feel sorry for your majesty? The relationship with my father and brother has been so severed, and I can't be like this with my son anymore. That's too hard for your majesty."
The crown prince frowned immediately, looked at Mr. Zhuang and asked, "What did Zhou Man and Shi Zhuang talk about?"
He had prepared to rebel, and he had alienated Zhou Man because of it. Could it be that Zhou Man had guessed something
Mr. Zhuang said: "Man Bao said that His Highness is very bitter."
The prince's heart softened, and the hostility was not so strong, but he still insisted: "I'm the prince alone, and I still need her as a subordinate to sympathize?"
But at this moment, looking at his father whose temples were already graying, and remembering his anxiety, pain and hesitation when he was preparing to rebel, the prince suddenly softened his heart.
Zhuang Xun was right, rebellion was really hard, and he knew that feeling when he was about to rebel. He really thought that he could just pick up a knife and gun and wave his arms
It was sleepless nights and nights, and it wasn't good at all.
He was just suffering so much during the preparation stage, but his father did it.
Thinking about it this way, the prince felt a sense of sympathy for each other, so he took the initiative to pick up the teapot and make a cup of tea for his father.
The emperor glanced at the prince in surprise, and then he was suddenly overjoyed. Wei Zhi and Mr. Tang, who were sitting in the hall discussing matters, also nodded secretly, and for the first time they did not bother the prince.
The monarch and his subjects had a pleasant afternoon, and then the officials took the task out of the palace, and the emperor took the prince to find the queen to have dinner together.
It happened that Ming Da and Chang Yu had just returned from Prince Gong's place, and because they had walked a lot, their faces were still flushed, and they looked particularly healthy.
The emperor looked very happy, "Mingda's body looks much stronger than last year."
Mingda immediately said: "My sister and I followed Zhou Man to see my third brother for treatment. We walked all the way to the foot of the mountain. I didn't breathe much, but I sweated a lot, and my body felt sticky and uncomfortable."
The emperor listened with a smile, and asked, "How is your third brother's illness?"
Mingda couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, and complained: "The third brother didn't want to heal his illness, but pretended to be ill, but Zhou Man saw through it."
Changyu went to the mountain for two consecutive days to play, and felt that the mountain was good, mainly because she really wanted to go up the mountain to experience the feeling of seeing all the small mountains that Zhou Man said, so she felt that it would be better for the third brother to continue to treat the illness at this time, So he said: "Father, Zhou Man said that the third brother's problem is to eat less and move more. He obviously ate a bowl of rice, a steamed bun, and a lot of dishes for lunch, but he said he was not full. He shouted that he was going to die of exhaustion before we had more, and you can't let him go."
Mingda also wanted to go up to the mountain to play, so he made a suggestion: "Father, wait for the third brother to get used to it, shall we take him to climb the mountain? Zhou Man said that climbing the mountain can also cure diseases."
Hearing this, the emperor naturally agreed to what the two daughters had said, and he turned his head to Gu Zhong and said, "The privilege of riding a chariot for Prince Gong to enter the palace will be cancelled. Since it is better to walk, let him walk more in the future." .”
Gu Zhong responded with a smile.
The prince on the side was surprised and didn't drink the tea.
In the palace, except for the queen mother, the emperor, the empress, and the prince, other important officials, including all the princes and daughters, had to walk on their own two legs.
So far, only two accidents have occurred. One is the Duke of Yu County. He is too old and a courtier who is still alive. No one can survive him. the privilege of sitting in a chariot;
One is Prince Gong. He is too fat, and his health is not very good. After walking for a while, he is panting badly and sweats a lot. Every time he enters and exits the palace, he feels a bit embarrassed.
So the emperor gave him a chariot, and he could sit every time he entered and left the palace, and he was treated like a prince.
When this matter came out, Wei Zhi also impeached Prince Gong and the emperor for this matter.
The emperor was scolded badly, and he admitted his mistake to Wei Zhi face to face, but turned around and died.
He once said quietly to the queen, "Prince Gong is my son, and the imperial palace is my home. What's wrong with my son going back to his own home to sit in a chariot? What's wrong with my son loving me?"
The queen said: "The royal family has no selfish matters. If Your Majesty loves Saburo, let him go to the palace less and travel less. Also, he should lose weight too. Being so fat is not good for his health."
It's a pity that neither of the father and son listened to her. The emperor felt that there was no shortage of food or clothing at home. If the child wanted to eat but didn't give it to him, how uncomfortable he would be;
Letting him not see his son is not enough, he should miss him so much if he can't see his son, so Wei Zhi scolded him, so he endured it, admitted his mistake face to face, turned around and continued to remain stubborn.
Wei Zhi worked hard for a long time and found that the emperor couldn't change it, so he just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. After all, he has many other things to take care of, doesn't he
The prince didn't expect that Wei Zhi's two younger sisters would correct the thing that Wei Zhi could not do after scolding him for so long.
After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help shaking his head, and thought to himself: So, it would be good for Zhou Man to treat the third child.
Prince Gong received the decree the next day, there was no way, he was too tired that day, tired and hungry, so he fell asleep before it was dark, so the palace guards did not dare to disturb him, the second day He didn't know until he woke up.
So Prince Gong, who was hungry all night and eagerly wanted to eat steamed buns, felt that the steamed buns in his hand were not fragrant at all.
