Grandma Yuan's remarks did not allow him to defend whether he was partial, basically because he had determined his fault before analyzing.
The Emperor Yuan Emperor of the Ming Dynasty looked at Grandma Yuan with obscure eyes, "I wish to hear more!"
Grandma Yuan said lovingly: "The old man relied on eating a few more years of food, speaking unscrupulously, first ask the emperor to forgive the offense. The prince is the prince, your son, you just told him to suffer a little bit of grievance, everyone feels distressed at best. For a moment, I don’t dare to care about you, because everyone understands that you are the father of the king, and you must be good for him. But this time you hurt Taishanghuang and Chu Shoufu. The last strand of hair is white, and the most wrong thing is that you have involved both Empress Hu and the ten princes. Once again, you have confirmed your partiality in front of the Supreme Emperor, because the Emperor said to you that the matter of the five cities is a matter of state, yes Regarding the planning of the Northern Tang Dynasty for the next 20 years and 30 years, and you are focusing on the ten princes that cannot be wronged, you are talking about family affairs. For the sake of family affairs, you are disregarding national affairs. If your status is changed, you are in the position of the emperor, and the prince is in yours Position, do you hate that iron cannot be made of steel? Remember, apart from being the emperor of Concubine Hu, you are also the emperor of the world."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her blankly, "Go on!"
Grandma Yuan said: "You said that the Taishang is partial and only likes the princes and dislikes the ten princes. That is because you regard the Taishang as the old man in the family, but he is often in the status of the Northern Tang Taishang, so he discusses state affairs with you. At that time, you are the same as the father of the king, and for the two grandchildren, it only depends on whether it is beneficial to the future development of Beitang. As for privately, when not discussing state affairs, does the Taishang treat the ten princes wrongly?"
Emperor Ming Yuan thought for a while, "If this matter is left out, there is really no harm, it's just..."
Grandma Yuan smiled, "It's just that there is no special treatment, special petting, right? Because you value Concubine Hu and the tenth prince, you think everyone should pet their mother and son, and you will be happy. This is actually understandable for the old man. Prefers the prince, so the old man also hopes that everyone will favor him as much as the old man."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her, "So the old lady is a sensible person."
Grandma Yuan continued to smile, "But the old man prefers the prince because he knows that the prince is dedicated to his family, the country and the world, and he has worked tirelessly. From the people's livelihood to the war with the North Desert, the prince is loyal to him. Because he is a prince, but because of his loyalty and courage, his popularity is accumulated bit by bit, accumulated with life."
Emperor Ming Yuan was a little moved, "I know, so I am very fortunate that the Supreme Emperor insisted on establishing him as the prince, and I am proud of him."
"Yes, as the father of the prince, you should be proud, and the emperor is also proud of him. When you and the emperor were unable to fight for the five cities, you said that you could have given the ten princes more prosperous cities, and the other way round , If the Supreme Emperor is only for rewarding the emperor grandson, he can also reward richer cities, why should he compete with you for these five cities? The emperor thinks that he is really good for him now that he is pampering the ten princes? Have you ever thought about it? , Will your favoritism cause his temperament deviation? It will even plant trouble for the future of Northern Tang Dynasty?"
Emperor Ming Yuan shocked all over and looked at her, "Did the Taishang emperor ever say something to his wife?"
Grandma Yuan nodded, "Yes, the old man talked with the Supreme Emperor in private. His anger comes from your public and private affairs, which has reduced state affairs to the level of family affairs. He is sure of your achievements in governing the Northern Tang Dynasty over the years, but He is getting older, he hopes you can be better, because he can't always stand behind to help you do everything, he hopes that you are not partial, because the crown prince is determined, to consolidate the prince's position in the DPRK, you need you Trust and proper decentralization are just like the decentralization he has given you over the years."
Emperor Ming Yuan gradually became clear, "What else did the Supreme Emperor say?"
Grandma Yuan said softly: "He wants you to see the prince."
"Seeing the prince? What do you mean?" Emperor Ming Yuan was astonished.
Grandma Yuan had an eager look in her eyes, "Seeing him, seeing everything he has done, from being a father, seeing him, the appreciation he gets can come from the king, but more often, hope comes from the father. The emperor, the prince is your son. That outstanding young man is your son. You need to be truly proud of this son, not just for the prince."
Emperor Ming Yuan felt that there was a cluster of flames in his blood, slowly walking among the limbs and a hundred skeletons, the fifth... His firm face flashed in his mind, his words and deeds, his decisive behavior, his intelligence and ability, his decision. Yingming, his son.
"He is the prince you personally made, not the emperor." After Grandma Yuan said this, she stood up and worshipped, then turned and left!
The Emperor Ming Yuan closed his eyes, and the things in the past two or three days have been intertwined in his heart. He has his grievances and unwillingness, and he has also reflected on introspection. However, the words of the old lady made him sober and sober. coming.
But instead of saying that the old lady said this, it was actually the old lady who came and conveyed it on behalf of the Taishang, and the Taishang still did not abandon him.
The fog gradually formed in his eyes, and he stood up suddenly, "Putting in the Palace of Heaven and Earth!"
After a stick of incense, he knelt outside the Hall of Universe and kowtow to the hall, "My son came to ask for sin, and my son already knew where he was wrong. Please let the father calm down, ask the father for forgiveness, and ask the father for permission. Children enter the hall!"
After a while, the solemn voice of the Supreme Emperor came from the hall, "Go to the side hall and wait for loneliness!"
Emperor Ming Yuan stood up, with unbearable tears in his eyes, wiped off with one hand, and strode towards the side hall. After waiting outside, the palace man came out to ask. After pushing the door in, he went straight to the Supreme Emperor and knelt down with a thud. In front of the Supreme Emperor, he choked: "Father, the son is wrong!"
The Supreme Emperor looked at the emperor who was kneeling in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. It was he who let the old lady pass, and he asked the old lady to tell him what he said. He was sure in his heart, if he blamed the old lady for saying this. Then, there is no need to maintain the relationship between father and son.
But if he wakes him up, it will be beneficial to the future of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he is still the emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
When the Emperor Ming Yuan was crying with grief and excitement, he didn't know that the Supreme Emperor had the idea of a waste emperor.
"Get up!" The Supreme Emperor said slowly.
Emperor Ming Yuan moved his lips and looked at the Supreme Emperor. He was unwilling to stand up. He still choked up and said: "Father, the son is really wrong. He is so wrong. The son disappointed you."
"You said, where did you go wrong?" The Emperor looked at him.
The Ming and Yuan emperor was full of heartburn and regretted it, "The son-chen was wrong in state affairs and family affairs, and the son-chen was wrong because he was favored but ignored the overall situation. The mistake was that he took the posture of the king to his sons, alienated his family, but was slanted. Showed a fatherly attitude towards Xiao Lao Shi, and prevented him from knowing that he respected the emperor since he was a child, so he acted recklessly and boldly. The child minister realized that he was wrong. The child minister’s special favor to the concubine Hu caused the harem to disagree and hurt him. The heart of the concubine who accompanied his son and minister for many years. The son's partial favor to Xiao Laoshi also led to his distorted and domineering temperament, which caused the loss of affinity and trust between their brothers, and even laid a disaster for the future of Northern Tang Dynasty. ."
The Supreme Emperor locked him tightly and said in a dumb voice: "I hope you really know the problem."
"Erchen knows!" Emperor Mingyuan slowly raised his head and looked at the Supreme Emperor. "Erchen finally understood what you said in the past. When you become an emperor, you will no longer be an emperor!"
