These five words fell.Emperor Mingde seemed to be frozen, and only the green tendons on his head were still jumping.Standing beside the pillar not far away, the dust in his hand was not steady, and fell to the ground with a click.He hurriedly bent down to pick it up, only wishing that he was blind and deaf, and he couldn't hear such rebellious words from His Royal Highness King Yue."
Rebel!"
Emperor Mingde finally reacted, and after reacting, he became angry, and he didn't care what his subordinates were and threw it directly at Zong Xu.Seeing that Zong Xu's body flashed with agility, he gasped heavily, "Are you forcing the palace?"
”"Erchen doesn't dare."
Emperor Mingde looked at Zong Xu's expression that had not changed in the slightest since he came in, and could only sneer to suppress the panic in his heart, "I dare to say anything about my abdication, what else do you dare not do?"
”"Father is old and frail," Zong Xu said in a calm tone that made Emperor Mingde want to jump to his feet, "Lin Yuanzheng of the Tai Hospital also suggested that it was best for Father to stay in bed and recuperate, not to work too hard.The son is thinking about his father's body. ”He looked at Emperor Mingde's gradually congested face, "Father, you have to serve the elderly." ”The most fearful thing in his heart was pointed out directly by Zong Xu, and Emperor Mingde's hand on the imperial case couldn't stop trembling, "King Yue, I still have the crown prince, even if I abdicate, the prince will rightfully inherit my position."
Dayong's next emperor, it's not your turn to be the next emperor. ”"Does my father really think that with the power of the crown prince, he can govern Dayong well?"
Without waiting for Emperor Mingde to refute, he continued: "Five years ago, the plague in Tanzhou, you instructed the prince to take charge of this matter.As a result, half of the medicinal materials were robbed, and the prince colluded with the governor of Tanzhou to deceive the superiors and subordinates, causing Tanzhou to be greatly injured in that plague, and he has not recovered yet. ”"Three years ago, the household department in charge of the prince broke out a major salt and iron case, and the Huzhou salt envoy sold official salt privately, and the number of statistics was several million taels, but at that time, according to the prosecutor's search, the private treasury of the Huzhou salt envoy was only found out of a few hundred thousand taels, and the other silver is still missing.Erchen thought that His Majesty's father should not know who the salt envoy was. ”"There is also the recent disaster relief in the north, I don't think I need to say more about this.""
Father, do you still want to hear what the crown prince has done recently?"
Emperor Mingde subconsciously shook his head, he was forced to hear the rumble in his head, but he still insisted when he opened his mouth, "What I want is right." ”"Keerchen thinks that it is the capable who prevail."
The four words of the capable one made Emperor Mingde's whole person tremble.He also said this to the eldest brother who was defeated back then.But now, this sentence has become what his son said to him again.Emperor Mingde couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.When he looked up, he saw that Zong Xu was still standing upright in front of him, his face turned from red to white again, he tasted the taste of blood in his mouth, and hurriedly covered his mouth and shouted, "Get out, get out!"
”"Please rest assured about the affairs of the court, and I hope that during your recuperation, you will consider the words of your son, and your son will retire."
After Zong Xu finished speaking, he made a gesture, then turned around neatly and walked out without looking back."
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you vomited blood, quickly, quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
Hearing the panicked shouting of the back man, Zong Xu paused as he stepped out of the hall gate, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.Emperor Mingde summoned Zong Xu like this, and he was angry again.After he woke up on the dragon's bed, he sent someone to summon the prince.The crown prince was accompanied by the queen.These days, the Queen's life is not easy either.Zong Xu rose strongly, and it was her son who was suppressed.In addition, what she did to Ling Shuiji back then also came to mind, and it was even more difficult to sleep during this time.The queen is not much younger than the emperor, and now she is in her fifties.The face that was originally well-maintained, after such a period of time, has been fully old because of the worries in his heart.When the prince walked in with a depressed face, Emperor Mingde saw the two approaching, and instead of being happy, he became even more depressed.The queen walked to Emperor Mingde's bed and cried, "Your Majesty, the ambition of the wolf son of the king of Yue is now obvious, you can't be soft-hearted."
Then decree that he should be reduced to a commoner, and that he should be exiled far away. ”Emperor Mingde and the empress are young couples, and they still have some affection for her, but this will see that she is crying with no image, and she also made such a suggestion that even he knew could not be done, and opened his mouth impatiently and said: "Degraded to a commoner, exiled?"
Queen, what you said is light, what reason do I use to belittle him, how did this holy decree come out, most of the Manchu Chaowu are now his people, do you think you will recognize it?
”The queen cried out in a voice, "Then what should I do?"
”Emperor Mingde didn't want to see her crying face, so he beckoned to Zong Yu, who was standing aside, "Prince, come here." ”Zong Yu took two steps forward, half-knelt beside the bed, and was just about to speak, when he was stunned by a slap from Emperor Mingde.He covered his face with disbelief in his eyes, "Father?
”"Useless stuff."
In front of Zong Xu, he had to endure it if he wanted to vent as much as he wanted, but in front of Zong Yu, when he thought that the situation that he had worked so hard to maintain was ruined by such a thing, how could he have anything to scruple about when he was angry, "You were named the crown prince when you were thirteen years old, and now it has been almost twenty years, I have invited you to invite the best Taifu, and the most important household department among the six departments has also been handed over to you, and even acquiesced in your efforts to win over the third and seventh children, after so many years of operation, you are not as good as Zong Xu, who has only risen for six years." ”Seeing that anger, humiliation, and unwillingness flashed on the prince's face, Emperor Mingde's chest rose and fell a few times, "You have failed me for such hard work, who are you so wronged to?"
”Zong Yu saw the disappointment in Emperor Mingde's eyes, and opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know what to refute.Because of his father's words, even if he thought about it again and again, he couldn't think of a rebuttal.But to make him admit that he is inferior to Zong Xu, for example, the slap just made him uncomfortable.The queen was also stunned by the slap that Emperor Mingde gave to her son.This will react and hurriedly reach out and hold Emperor Mingde's hand, for fear that he will slap him again, "Your Majesty, the prince is in his thirties, you slap him, how will he go out and see people later?"
”Emperor Mingde was held down for a while and finally calmed down a little, remembering the purpose of calling the prince over, "You are the crown prince of my own family, this is your greatest advantage."
Learn from Zongxu, how have you done it all these years.Remember, I haven't given up on you yet. ”Zong Yu's eyes with a slap print finally couldn't help but light up, although the sentence that made him learn how Zong Xu did things made him extremely uncomfortable, but just because his father recognized him, this Zong Xu couldn't beat him to death.The confidence that had been dimmed by the defeat of the court will finally be lit up again.Coming out of the Chengqian Palace, Zong Yu couldn't wait to gather his staff.This time, he listened to the strategy discussed by the staff, although he disagreed with it in his heart, but when he thought of the words that his father admonished him in the Chengqian Palace, he no longer insisted on going his own way and only felt that what he said was right.Not long after Emperor Mingde got up, he fell ill again, and the crown prince returned to his position in power.The ministers quickly sensed that something was different for the crown prince.As for where it is different.After a court meeting, a minister said thoughtfully, "I always feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been doing things recently, as if he is imitating how His Royal Highness Yue behaves. ”This sentence is like an initiation.Everyone finally figured out where that inexplicable familiarity came from.However, an old minister also said, "Only the form, not the essence." ”Zong Yu imitated Zong Xu, and although the effect improved, it was not big.He was anxious, but in the face of the Manchu ministers, he could only hide this emotion under his face.However, the deeper the repression, the more fierce the rebound.The consequence is that every time the next dynasty returns to the prince's mansion, he will be angry.The crown princess can't afford to provoke her, so those concubines in the backyard will be killed.The first of them is Dong Xueqing, who plays the role of the interpreter flower.Dong Xueqing has not been in good health since giving birth to a little daughter.After the doctor diagnosed her, it was estimated that it would be difficult to get pregnant.Because of this, she even hated her little daughter, and she only felt that it was because of this child that she hurt her body.Ah Shui saw that Dong Xueqing's emotions were becoming more and more extreme, so he instructed the grandmother to take the child to the main house.Today, the prince came over, and Ah Shui waited at the door.Listening to the shouting and scolding inside, he pursed his lips.It was only when the prince slammed the door and left that she turned and entered the house, not at all surprised that it was a mess.Ah Shui walked up to Dong Xueqing, helped the person up from the ground and sat down, found a good teacup and poured water and handed it over, and then silently began to clean the house.Dong Xueqing went to get the teacup, and her cold fingertips touched the warm teacup, so she came back to her senses and looked at Ah Shui, who was cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, "Ah Shui, come and talk to me." ”Ah Shui turned around, looked at Dong Xueqing's miserable white face, put down the broom and walked over."
Miss."
Hearing this salutation, Dong Xueqing's eyes turned red and she almost burst into tears."
Ah Shui, do you think I really did something wrong?"
Waking up from a dream in her previous life, she vowed to be a human being.For this reason, she has made so many efforts, and she has successfully planned to become a woman who becomes the prince.But is this really what she wants?
It's just that an insignificant concubine beside the prince can be beaten and scolded like Fang Cai.In her previous life, she never lived until the crown prince succeeded to the throne, but now she understands it.The crown prince's talent is mediocre, Wen Dunhou is all on the surface, and the Nine Emperor Princes, who were inconspicuous in his previous life, have risen strongly in this life, and the emperor's position, I don't know who will sit in the future.But she didn't figure it out until now, and it was too late.Seeing Dong Xueqing's trance-like appearance, Ah Shui didn't know what to say if he wanted to comfort him, and finally could only speak dryly, "Miss, relax." ”Dong Xueqing smiled bitterly.Relax, her heart has never been relaxed.And now, I can only slowly taste the bitter fruit of my own brewing.
