King Qin opened his mouth, trying to say that his son would understand, but when he reached his mouth, the words turned into tears: "Concubine, have you seen it?! It's like this every time! From childhood to adulthood, no matter how hard your son works, how can he cry?" Although they are diligent, they are not as good as the younger brothers who study at will! Over the years, how much time and energy have the sons and daughters spent on their schoolwork, and how much thought has the mother and concubine put into it? And the third brother, the seventh brother, the tenth brother, the fifteenth brother... they But he easily surpasses his subordinates!"
"Also, every time I get into trouble or do something that will lead to punishment or displeasure by my father, my son is also helpless!"
"When I was a child, my mother and concubine helped to deal with the aftermath; now, my son and minister are all people who can discuss marriage, but I still need my mother and concubine to come and deal with the aftermath... What is the use of my mother and concubine raising my son and minister all these years?!"
"Even when I was impeached before, why didn't the mother-in-law choose someone else to frame her for having so many heirs? Just choose her? Isn't it because... because they know that I am incompetent! I'm a waste! I'd better lie to you. !!!"
"After that incident, I will only wait in Qiongjiu Palace, waiting for my father and the emperor to wait for my mother and concubine. I have no idea at all."
"In the end, even the ninth brother stood up and gave advice to my son!!!"
King Qin clenched his fists and tried hard to maintain his dignity, but in the end he cried out, "Er Chen... If I really don't seek to make progress, if I really don't work hard, so that I am incompetent in everything, I will admit it! But Er Chen It’s not that you don’t work hard, concubine! But my son is born stupid, what can he do?!”
"So?" Yun Fenghuang stared at him with no pity or comfort, just sneered, "So you are here drinking heavily, smashing things, scaring the people who are serving you, but you still hurriedly report it so late. Come to me? If you do this, won’t you be stupid?”
It was not like King Qin had never cried about his pressure and helplessness before. At that time, the imperial concubine was always coaxing, persuading and encouraging.
This was the first time I felt the feeling of being stabbed while grieving.
Don't know what to say for a moment
And Yun Fenghuang didn't give him much time to think, and then said: "I won't talk about other people, but among you princes, do you have the face to feel sorry for yourself here?! Open your eyes and look to the west, I Let me tell you, who are the princes in this palace who really deserve to cry! Of the second and third princes over there, one by one, who is not more pitiful than you!? In terms of bloodline, her biological mother is the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, and her maternal grandfather is a legitimate marquis. , the emperor of Shenzong, who has become the most famous family in the three dynasties! The second prince has always kept a low profile, so it’s okay. What qualifications does the third prince have, you have no idea?!"
"If you didn't know what was going on, you wouldn't make things difficult for him over and over again!"
"Don't think that I don't know this clearly. You keep saying that this person is bad and that is not good. What makes you jealous the most is that he is more talented than you and acts more securely than you?!"
"But even so, what kind of life has he lived these years? He doesn't dare to show off his qualifications. He always acts as a stepping stone for his younger brothers. Your mother doesn't even dare to choose a noble concubine for him!"
"Did he do something wrong? It's just because his biological mother is not loved by your father!"
"Let's talk about King Chu again."
"He was crowned king together with you. If he hadn't become stupid after a cold storm, the East Palace would have had a master early in the morning!"
"Originally, I was expected to become the new king, but what happened?"
"After all these years of being demented, I even suffered humiliation at the hands of the foreign minister's daughter!"
"This is still a fuss. It's not a fuss. Who knows how much he has been wronged? He doesn't even know how to complain!"
"They are all the flesh and blood of your father. These two asked them to choose for themselves. Who wouldn't want to trade with you?"
King Qin listened, but was not convinced. He choked and said, "Even if the second and third brothers have talents, they can't use them, but at least the talents are their own. Sons and ministers... What are the sons and ministers without the support of their father, emperor, mother and concubine?"
He also said about his fifth brother, the King of Chu, "Even though he was humiliated after his stupidity, he didn't know his influence, but he lived the most happy and wanton life."
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "Talent...how important do you think talent is? I am not afraid to tell you today that the number one scholar in Chunjia eight years ago is still sending money to me! Why? Because if there is no How can he be where he is today after being promoted by me? In terms of talent, he is the number one scholar, which one of you brothers is worse? But even so, he still wants to flatter and please people like me and coax people like me. Only when you are happy can you get a chance to be promoted?! Do you know why this is?"
King Qin was a little confused and subconsciously asked: "Why?"
"Because there are so many talented people in the world!" Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "So even if the number one scholar, not counting Enke, comes out every three years, it will not matter to them or to the generations of ancestors who have accumulated good deeds. It is a blessing only for the royal family, but for the royal family, it is nothing more than that! So even if he is the number one scholar, if he wants to enter the temple, he must make every effort to do everything he can. Otherwise, he will not even have a chance to perform, so why should he be promoted to a noble rank?! You Being a prince is the greatest blessing, but if you only care about your talents, you are putting the cart before the horse!"
"The number one scholar named on the gold medal list is both talented and beautiful. He is married to a noble girl. He has a lot of wealth. He is not greedy and bends the law. He can also afford to be filial and win over his subordinates. Even if this is the case, then Wang Linglai can be a very popular minister in this life. It’s time to cry with joy! As for the title, since your great-aunt’s husband’s family, the Wei family, was deposed, many of their children have gone to the battlefield, fought life and death, and fought hard... So far, they have not been able to regain their title!"
"And you, if you don't do anything and are still an ignorant child, you have to be named King of Qin."
"Even if you are illiterate, you will be the king of a country sooner or later. And as long as the concubine gives birth to a legitimate son, your descendants will continue to be rich and honorable, and they will live with the country!"
The imperial concubine looked at the eldest son, whose expression was changing, and sighed, "You have such advantages and conditions, but you are so upset because of the jealous words of a foreign minister and the concubine. You...were you raised by me?" !”
"..." King Qin lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
In fact, he still felt aggrieved.
Because he also knew what Yun Fenghuang said.
The key is that as a prince, your guarantee is the vassal king... However, as a prince, how many people can be satisfied with just being a vassal king
Unless you are a fool like the King of Chu, you don't know how to fight.
Otherwise, I have been living in trepidation and in difficult situations since I was a child.
Like King Qin, who has been favored since childhood and is used to all the good things being his own... He is not willing to give in! ! !
Besides, his father is now the head of the family and he dotes on his mother and concubine, so he can't be said to be unscrupulous in his actions, but he really doesn't have much to fear or restrain.
Anyway, whether Chunjia or Yun Fenghuang, even if they don't like some of his actions, they mainly care about him and it is impossible to deal with him harshly.
But if a brother becomes the head of the family in the future, even the brother who has a better relationship with him now... can it be the same
King Qin felt that he had been defeated by a talent in his life. As the eldest son of the emperor, and he was raised by his beloved concubine, if he was not so mediocre in qualifications, how could he possibly compete for the throne even if he had several younger brothers who were the legitimate princes recorded on jade plates? Can you beat him? !
But because of his mediocrity, he tried his best but could not catch up with the talents of his younger brothers... King Qin sadly felt that although his father, emperor, mother and concubines still loved him, they had no intention of handing him the crown prince position.
That's why he was so out of sorts.
Because Luo Shizi's comments hit the point in his heart where he was most fearful and unwilling.
But in the face of Yun Fenghuang's scolding, King Qin really couldn't tell the truth.
And Yun Fenghuang wanted him not to say anything.
After all, she already has a biological son. Even if there is no King Jin, she still has two sons, the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince. Who is not more promising than the King of Qin? It was impossible for her to go all out to support King Qin.
In this case, what would she do if King Qin came clean
If you refuse, it will obviously hurt the image of a loving mother; if you agree... it is impossible to agree.
It was too tiring to support the eldest son, and it was completely uneconomical.
At this moment, seeing that King Qin's mood had stabilized, the imperial concubine changed her tone and said, "This matter is not as simple as you think. How can a mere Luo family member have the courage to do this to you? I have just sent someone to investigate. . If my prediction is correct, I guess it has something to do with a Luo family disciple who wanted to save your ninth brother. This is the grudge of their Luo family's own back house, but they are so bold that they want to drag you into a relationship with Xiaojiu. It's simply unreasonable. I take it seriously... It's cold at night, so go down and clean it up. I'll tell you more about it tomorrow."
The main reason is that I haven't figured out how to make up a story to coax you.
King Qin lowered his head and said "hmm" softly.
He obviously hasn't figured it out yet, and is obviously still aggrieved and angry.
But it doesn't matter, this kid will definitely not have the energy to continue making trouble tonight.
That's good.
Yun Fenghuang said a few more words of comfort and watched the palace servants waiting for King Qin to come in and freshen up. Then he turned and left. Of course, Chen Jing had to be left behind so that he could give the palace maids inside and outside a beating to prevent the news from spreading. What news should not be spread.
So Yun Fenghuang waited on the chariot outside for a while.
Then before Chen Jing came out, she suddenly saw a corner of her clothes exposed behind the flower tree in the distance.
That color was obviously not something a palace official could wear.
