The emperor's move was actually forcing King Zhao and Zhao Mingzhan to choose the latter.
If she chooses the former option and Princess An really gives birth to a son, how much effort will it take to educate him from childhood to adulthood.
And to put it bluntly, what if the emperor doesn’t have many more years to live?
Then don't they, father and son, want to be regents? They have to take care of the affairs of the court and the children.
In the end, it's okay if the child can learn well. If he doesn't learn well, is not sensible, and can't bear this burden, then won't they have to work for the country and the court for the rest of their lives, and they may have to clean up all the messes of this little emperor.
Moreover, being a regent is not a good thing. If you do it well, others will treat you as you should and live up to their trust. But if you don't do it well, others will only say that you are playing tricks and so on.
Of course, even if this child grows up, learns well, and can bear this burden, you still have to consider whether he has the stomach to accommodate you. If he cannot tolerate you, it will be like a bird hiding in a slingshot, which is worse. A whole family died violently.
Even those who are kinder and save a small life will definitely have a difficult life.
In short, there is a high chance of ending badly.
After working so hard all your life, you may end up in a miserable state. Who would do this? !
It would be better to just go up and sit on the throne, conquer the world and avoid trouble later.
After hearing this, King Zhao immediately understood the emperor's plan: "Brother Emperor, you..."
The emperor's face was calm: "Do you think I am really old and confused?"
King Zhao smiled awkwardly and said he didn't dare.
The emperor said: "In this case, you should think about it carefully, which one should you choose?"
"No, brother Huang, we can still discuss this matter."
King Zhao really didn't want to choose. Although he had to admit that Zhao Mingzhan was indeed better than these princes, he was the one who taught him. He wanted him to inherit the palace. If Zhao Mingzhan was adopted and succeeded to the throne, then Doesn’t he also have no successor? !
King Zhao was also afraid that his heirs would fight for inheritance rights, so the only person he took with him to teach them was Zhao Mingzhan. As for how Zhao Minghui and Zhao Mingyan were doted on by their biological mothers, he didn't care.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Mingyan was doted on by Princess Zhao and became like this.
Thinking of this, King Zhao felt a little unhappy: "Brother, I'm afraid it's not good for you to be like this. When you were young, you didn't care about educating your children. Now you feel that you have no successor, so you came to snatch my son. You are a little bit Too much."
"If this is the case, who will inherit my palace?"
At this point, there is no other better choice. King Zhao is actually a little moved. Whether it is the emperor's son or his son, in short, he also hopes that the person who sits in this position can bear this burden. .
"And Ming Zhan really doesn't have this intention." King Zhao explained helplessly, "He told me about this in the past, and he was unwilling. You see, he now has a wife and children, and he just wants to run his errands well. It’s also easier and faster.”
The emperor glared at him, thought for a long time, and then said: "If this is the case, you can choose the first way, or find a solution for me."
King Zhao was about to say something, but the emperor didn't want to hear it anymore, so he said to drive him away: "Okay, you go back and discuss it with Mingzhan."
King Zhao had no choice but to leave first. After he left, the emperor sat in Tai Chi Palace for a long time, and finally sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine wishes to see you."
The emperor's eyes moved, and then he said: "No, I'm tired. Just let her go back."
Concubine Zhao waited outside for a long time, but in the end she disappeared and had to return to the palace.
"Your Majesty and King Zhao had a quarrel."
The confidant at the side said: "I'm afraid it's because of King An's matter."
When Concubine Zhao thought of this, she gritted her teeth and went crazy with anger: "Prince An! Queen Yuan! That woman has been dead for so many years, and your majesty still remembers her, and Zhao Mingqi is the one he loves most!"
"Such a stupid person doesn't even have the slightest bit of my Sui'er, but he only remembers him and can't see the slightest bit of my Sui'er!"
King Sui's name contains the word "Sui", Zhao Mingsui, which means "appeasement" or "appeasement". The emperor hoped that King Sui could be a peaceful prince for the rest of his life, and it was best to remain an idle prince.
How could Concubine Zhao be willing? Ever since she got this name, she felt a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Now I still want to pave the way for the child in Wanting Song's belly!"
"That child will definitely not be born safely." Concubine Zhao looked ugly.
Mammy thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Madam, according to what I said, I'm afraid this may not be the case."
This nun's surname is Ling, and she is called Aunt Ling. She was the person that the Zhao family found for Concubine Zhao when she entered the palace in the past. She has been with Concubine Zhao for more than 20 years and is the person she relies on the most. .
It can be said that this old man has become a spirit. The fact that Zhao Guifei has come to this day is half of her contribution to the fact that she gave birth to a prince and raised him for more than 20 years when the emperor was afraid that Zhao could firmly hold the position of concubine.
Concubine Zhao was slightly surprised: "What do you think, grandma?"
Aunt Ling said: "Your Majesty's move is really strange. I have been with Your Majesty for many years and know to some extent what kind of person he is. It is certainly impossible to say that Your Majesty brought King An back to establish him as the crown prince again. Yes, but it is too early to talk about paving the way for the unborn child."
"Although His Majesty is very capable, there are still many people who want the child to be born. Who knows whether it can be born safely, and we don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. If His Majesty is really determined to pave the way for that child, at least he needs to We have to wait until this child is born, a young master."
"I thought that Your Majesty had other plans."
Concubine Zhao frowned: "What are your plans? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to Prince Ming? Then Prince Ming has no such ability."
"No." Aunt Ling leaned into Concubine Zhao's ear and said something, Concubine Zhao was startled.
"What did you say?!"
"Your Majesty, please be quieter." She lowered her voice and said, "It's just a slave's guess, but it's not impossible. Have you ever remembered that Your Majesty has always admired that person and once said that giving birth to a child should be as clear as day? Such words as Zhan."
Concubine Zhao thought about it carefully and found that the emperor not only said this, but also said it more than once.
"I also know that your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the prince because of the affairs of the Zhao family. Now you are not satisfied with any of the princes. It is possible to have such an idea."
"Furthermore, if His Majesty is really paving the way for the child, to put it bluntly, His Majesty's body and bones may not be able to support the child's growth. In this case, then the mansion over there will naturally become a Your Majesty's place of solitude."
Nanny Ling's eyes were slightly cold: "Mother, we need to make plans early. Otherwise, the prince's plan may be in vain in the end..."
