Yun Fenghuang was a little startled and a little nervous when he received the news, but he immediately dressed up and went to Xingxin Hall.
Chunjia had practiced archery and horse training since he was a child, and Ruming was not aging at all. Although the injury from the previous arrow was not serious, after those months of recuperation and the careful care of the imperial doctor, he was much better. Although It's not convenient to go out, but I can already walk slowly in Xingxin Hall.
When the queen entered, she saw him taking away the royal case and reviewing the memorial.
There was a full cup of tea beside his legs, which had already cooled down. Apparently he had forgotten to drink it because he was busy with government affairs.
She frowned slightly, saluted, then went to change a cup of hot tea for him, and said: "No matter how much your Majesty worries about state affairs, please take care of yourself. Otherwise, how can I get along with myself?"
There were some tears in his eyes as he spoke.
"There are a few small things there. I thought it wouldn't be too late to take a rest after finishing the review." The two of them used to care about each other very openly, but since Chunjia blocked the arrow for her, they have become a little more restrained.
And I can’t explain why I want to be restrained.
Therefore, the queen didn't say such distressed words for some time. Chunjia paused her pen and then said gently, "I forgot about it without realizing it... I'll just go ahead and read a few more copies."
He said he would read a few more copies, but actually he couldn't stop reading. Yun Fenghuang looked at Bu Nao and reminded him again, then put down his pen, pinched his forehead, and said slowly, " The ministers proposed to establish another crown prince, and I originally thought that Bing'er would go and wait for a few more months before we talk about it, but as it turns out that I am really unable to do what I want, it would be fine if I choose to establish a crown prince to share one or two state affairs."
Yun Fenghuang's heart was beating loudly and he whispered: "Then why does Bidong need to discuss this matter with me? Shouldn't he discuss it with his predecessor?"
"State affairs are not family affairs of the Heavenly Family." After Chunjia said that, he was silent for a moment and then said, "Do you hate me?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang looking at him in confusion, he said slowly, "I stand by Bing'er, and our mother and son will be in great danger in the future. The child is good at forbearing. I made things difficult for him in many ways, but he responded perfectly... Even when I was in front of me, I even said the words that I would follow Didong a hundred years later. I must have been forced to panic... Do you hate me for not giving King Wei, King Yan, King Jin and others a chance? Obviously I You’re very ageless, maybe you can’t wait until your younger son grows up?”
"...I have never thought of it that way." Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes and said against his will, "Thunder and rain and dew are not your kindness, not to mention that Your Majesty has already given me a lot."
"My position is not so easy to get." Chunjia looked at the vase not far away, his eyes were a little distant, and he said slowly, "As everyone in the harem knows before and after, I was very unhappy when I ascended the throne. I went through some difficult confinements. But if you have not experienced it personally, it is difficult to imagine the degree of hardship... The courtiers' respectfulness, the guards' indifference, the courtiers' indifference, the concubine's contempt, the aunt's grandmother's indifference, the aunt's mother's indifference The boss is bossing around, the adoptive mother and the biological mother are left out and ridiculed... These are actually not secondary. The most important thing is that behind all these attitudes, my life and death, honor and disgrace are all reflected in my foreign relatives' thoughts. "
"That's the most torturous thing."
"Although Concubine An was a bit pampered when she was in Fuyang County, she is still considered to be from a noble family in the county, and she actually has the basic rules and vision."
"But I also saw it when I entered the palace. She had no idea how to act or shut up... maybe she couldn't stand it anymore."
"Of course, every emperor hopes to go through the hard times like me."
"But in my opinion, the new king doesn't have to work as hard as me. After all, with me walking in front, I can always clear many obstacles for them."
"But the new king must be able to survive those hard months."
"After all, once I leave, if the new king encounters some trouble, just like Concubine An, he completely collapses... Whether it is the Gongxiang family or the people of Tiandong, there are many other heirs of mine, who should I expect to go?"
"When I set up Bing'er, I really admired his talent. Although I know I hate him, I have to admit that the child is actually very outstanding. Not every child like him who grew up being neglected and bullied , can be so fake that there are no flaws. There is a poem by the ancients who said that it takes three months to test the jade and ask for it to be burned, and it takes seven years to identify the material. I deeply agree. "
Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and there was some annoyance in his eyes.
The emperor has already said it himself, "Therefore, I actually do not intend to completely cut off the opportunities of the young princes."
"For example, Prince Jin, whom I have high hopes for."
"I have seen Bing'er's character in adversity. From childhood to adulthood, King Jin and the others have never faced adversity because of my wings."
"If you become a vassal king or a royal daughter, like Zhaoqing, there is nothing wrong with having smooth sailing in your life."
"But what I seek is not a crown prince or a crown prince!"
"It's impossible to send them out of the palace to learn from each other. After all, they are far away and out of reach. If they get bad or something happens, the consequences will be too disastrous."
"I set up Bing'er and let me torment the East Palace. I will neither temper him nor observe the other princes."
Chunjia said softly, "Before, we were assassinated on the way back to the palace. Bing'er lost his composure, and he didn't adjust for many confinements after that... I'm actually a little disappointed. I know that I can't blame him entirely, he is just a negligent person." The five-year-old child has not been liked by me since he was a child, his adoptive mother was abandoned, and after he almost died, the person he wholeheartedly considers to be the villain is not only protected by me, but is not allowed to cause trouble, he must be extremely disappointed in his heart, and he is even more worried that I will not do anything. I will kill Dong's legs if I don't stop hurting him. But without my protection, he will have no power in front of me, who is determined to kill him!"
"No, he is actually not a half-grown child. He has countless reasons to be so weak."
"But when he refuses to be crown prince, he doesn't have the qualifications."
The emperor said calmly, "When I came to the Imperial Capital, the situation I faced was much crueler and more severe than he was! I didn't even have a biological father to turn to for help and hope, so I was very worried about the lives and future of my two mothers. Please comfort Concubine An who is frightened on a moonlit night... I survived!"
"I don't want my heirs to be inferior to me!"
"So even if the prince didn't die that time, I hope that in the future, King Jin and the others will grow up and show their potential. The prince... will be replaced sooner or later."
"Ah Huang." Chunjia called the queen's maiden name, "Do I understand what Hongzhen means?"
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips: "My body is bright red."
After a pause, she asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, who do you plan to appoint as the crown prince this time?"
"I have not thought about it well. If I don't agree with the King of Qin, I will choose the King of Song." The emperor said indifferently, "If I can't bear to leave, I can get rid of the King of Qin. I know that the King of Wei, King Yan, and King Jin are very smart, but do you want to leave? To hold on to my position, I am very smart."
He said calmly, "I am in my prime and can take care of the country for a while, so I have enough time and patience to carve out a good prince. This process must be tender and affectionate."
"It's okay if you want to be gentle and affectionate all the time. I can pamper and protect any of the ordinary vassal kings and princesses. I don't expect them to bear any responsibility..."
Chunjia suddenly stopped talking, looked at the queen, and said helplessly, "I originally thought I would understand. I have been having trouble with Dong Palace, maybe because I noticed what I meant. After all, after the prince was assassinated, although Zhaoqing and the others When I was lucky enough to die, I pressured Prince Jin and the others to visit the prince, and I did my best to show my courtesy."
"..." Yun Fenghuang's face was stupefied and speechless.
how to say
She really hadn't considered that kind of cocoa at all.
Think about it, think about it, don't dare to take the risk.
After all, the prince's Wei Jing relationship is too big.
What if
What if she guessed wrong and the emperor was determined to pass on Wei Yuan and Xiang Bing, but did not give Prince Didong a chance at all
A man who swims ten thousand, is Gong Xiang a man of talent? If he takes the first step and seizes the advantage, will he, mother and son, be able to stand up
Or, perhaps, Chun Jia will follow in the footsteps of his biological father and heir and disappear within a few years. When the time comes, the crown prince will naturally succeed to the throne
All in all, how could someone like her place her hopes on baseless speculations without solid evidence
She would rather trust her own efforts.
"No, it's because I am not the emperor." The emperor said with some sadness, "In those years, even my mother and queen have been alienated from me. No, there is a gap between me and me. No wonder I still can't believe me... That's all, let's not talk about those things. In short, I hope that I won’t try to set things off for my children. I can give them a temporary setback, but can I set them up for a lifetime? If morality is not matched, there will be disaster! If not, I can protect them from wind and rain for the rest of my life, but am I willing to embarrass the children I like? As emperor, do you have enough power and blessings? Otherwise, it may not be a good thing to come here rashly."
"It's hard to tell about things like Fukuzawa, and I don't believe in those illusory things."
"I believe in Keli even more... I have always told me that King Wei and the others are smart and sensible, so let me see what they will look like in adversity and without me to guide them at all times, okay?" "
"If they can do it, I will not be stingy about the position of the Eastern Palace; if not, then I can plan for them early to become a favored vassal king, which will ensure a safe life. I and he are only old, and after all, we will not be able to control them for the rest of our lives. They shelter within the east of the wings.”
"Even if the royal vassal king is not as noble as the emperor, he can still be passed down from generation to generation and benefit his descendants. Isn't it better than forcibly ascending to the throne of emperor and ending in embarrassment before?"
"... I obey my orders." Yun Fenghuang had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't help but choke up, "After all, I can't judge the king's heart with the heart of a villain."
Chunjia said: "If I were young, I might be angry, and I would feel that I trusted and valued me so much, but I failed me... If Ru Mingke is older, I feel relieved. My life and death, my honor and disgrace, all depend on me. How can we let go? Just like ordinary people standing next to a ferocious beast. Even if the ferocious beast is friendly, how many people are not nervous or want to run away immediately? After all, no matter how friendly the ferocious beast is, its fangs and claws can hurt people. Death can occur in an instant...that is not human nature."
People's ideas will change with age and experience.
Whether Yun Fenghuang is like this, the emperor is also like this.
When I was young, I considered people and things that were absolutely wrong and intolerable, but later I unknowingly became indifferent to them.
The emperor even told her directly about the suspicion of the prince's death: "The queen mother said she did not do it, but I feel that she did not deny it... Since we all want to hide it from me, I think this matter will end here. If But in the two years since I took charge, I couldn't sleep until everything was clear. Otherwise, I would rather believe in us. The two of us would never want to harm me. Since we think the real culprit is true, don't scream. If I know, then I will pretend that I don’t know. From now on, this matter will end here, and no one will ask to mention it again."
After a pause, "The Crown Prince was killed by King Fu Mao and other rebels. After the army wins, I will have people take the hearts and livers of the rebel vassals to pay homage to the Crown Prince."
"... I don't dare to hide it from your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang struggled for a long time and chose to take the risk in the past.
