Thinking of this, Huang Qiong, who was still a little flustered when facing the emperor for the first time, actually calmed down. Since there is no other way to go, instead of fearfully wondering what I, the emperor, will do with me, it is better to face it openly.
Although he hated the cumbersome etiquette of this era, Huang Qiong still followed the etiquette and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to his emperor. He didn't stand up until there was a sound from the front. His eyes were not looking straight, they were slightly drooped and he stood aside with a respectful look. Even if the emperor didn't speak, he still knew the rule that he couldn't speak.
However, while Huang Qiong was doing the etiquette, she really couldn't bear her inner curiosity. When she stood up, she quickly glanced at the middle-aged man in his forties wearing a bright yellow robe who was sitting behind the desk. For Huang Qiong, this glance was not that he wanted to see his father, whom he had never seen before, but that he wanted to see what the ancient Chinese emperor looked like.
But after this glance, Huang Qiong was somewhat disappointed. The appearance of his emperor, I, can be considered ordinary at best, and there is absolutely no connection with the word handsome. It's just that as a Nine-Five Master, the aura on his body is incomparable to ordinary people, and it looks quite scary.
At least in Huang Qiong's opinion, the appearance of the emperor really ruined a temperamental beauty like his mother. But he is the emperor, the best in the world. Although he looks a bit ordinary, he possesses supreme power and endless wealth. This is enough to make all the beauties in the world throw themselves into her arms.
Huang Qiong was thinking wildly here, and signaled the emperor to get up, but the first thing he said was not to Huang Qiong, but to King Yong: "How do you think you are? How many times have I told you, let me You study hard. Don't fool around with those people in the market all day long. When did you hear that? What did you do last night? Don't tell me, you didn't get up until you received the imperial edict."
The anger in the emperor's tone was obvious, but it was obvious that King Yong opposite him didn't take it too seriously. After scratching his scalp almost out of habit, King Yong replied: "To inform my father, I did not go out to fool around last night. Instead, I followed your instructions to read more books and understand the teachings of the sages. So I studied a little too late last night, so I got up late today."
The emperor didn't know what the outcome of King Yong's answer was, but Huang Qiong was happy in his heart. From the previous conversation between the two people, Huang Qiong knew that this King Yong was obviously not a scholar. I also studied too late last night, probably because of a night of drinking. When I first arrived, I smelled of alcohol all over my body.
Have you read a book yet? If I believe you, that person is either a fool or a fool. It's not good for you kid to make up some excuse, even if it's just a happy admission that you drank all night last night, you have to make up one about reading a book all night, such an obvious reason to deceive a fool.
It's a pity that Huang Qiong's emperor, I, is not an idiot like Emperor Hui of Jin, nor is he a single-minded person. On the contrary, he is still very shrewd. Otherwise, he would not be able to seize enough strength to compete under the noses of powerful ministers. In addition, the lie made up by this guy is so clumsy that it is not difficult to expose him.
Sure enough, the emperor's answer later confirmed Huang Qiong's guess: "Do you really think that I am so easy to fool? Reading? When these words come out of your mouth, it really makes people laugh. You have been studying in Zongxue all day long. Do you think I really don’t know what’s going on inside?”
Hearing that the emperor was angry, the Yong Wang was quite a bachelor and did not defend himself. He knelt down and kowtowed desperately, admitting his mistake and said: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me." The kowtow shouted. With a sound, even Huang Qiong next to him felt pain for him.
Just looking at the performance of the father and son, Huang Qiong did not persuade him, nor did he have the slightest expression on his face. From the conversation between the father and son just now, Huang Qiong could tell that this behavior of the Yong Wang had not happened in a day or two. The emperor was obviously aware of this matter.
Since he usually behaves lawlessly without discipline, but today he disciplined him in front of himself, the son whom he met for the first time. Is it possible that there is nothing behind it? Maybe this Yongwang may not know the thoughts of his emperor, and is just passively cooperating.
But I am afraid that I, the emperor, consciously used King Yong as a chicken to make a scene of killing chickens and scaring monkeys for his son, who was meeting him on the first day. After figuring this out, Huang Qiong calmed down and quietly prepared to finish the scene.
If I don't watch the show seriously, how can I be worthy of the painstaking efforts of the emperor? As for King Yong, although this boy looks extremely rude on the surface, Huang Qiong still thinks that this is definitely not the true side of this guy. Regardless of whether he cooperates actively or passively, since he has been chosen as the target, it will not hurt him to suffer more.
After making up his mind, Huang Qiong did not deliberately act trembling about the not-so-splendid performance of the two men. In Huang Qiong's opinion, that was a bit too fake. Faced with this scene, it was better for him to act in his true self. So he just stood there, looking at his nose and nose, looking at his heart, pretending to be indifferent.
Huang Qiong obviously did not show any signs of accepting the move, so the emperor, who appeared to be scolding King Yong, but in fact was secretly observing him, instantly lost interest in continuing and waved his hand in front of the rogue King Yong: "Okay. Come on, get up. Don't pretend to be like this again when I talk about you."
"I'm warning you for the last time today, if you continue to hang out with those people. Since I can give you the title of prince, I can take it back at any time. When can you grow up? It doesn't matter. Are those people from all walks of life on the street hanging around? Look at you, do you still have the magnanimity of the Tian family? Remember, you are a prince, not a gangster on the street."
When the emperor asked him to get up, King Yong stood up immediately. Regardless of the black bruise on his forehead, he said with a smile: "Thank you for your forgiveness, father. Please rest assured. The reprimands given by my father to my father have been borne in mind." I will definitely change my past mistakes in the future. Since my father still wants to talk to my ninth brother, I will go back to study first."
It turns out that maybe he really wanted to use his appearance to punish the unruly King Yong, and to perform a show of killing chickens and terrifying monkeys for Huang Qiong. This time, I was really angered by these words of this guy: "Get out of here and kneel down to save yourself. Your matter is not over yet, I will settle the score with you later."
Seeing that the emperor was angry again, King Yong, who only wanted to leave here as soon as possible, had no choice but to secretly make a face to Huang Qiong, then run to the side and kneel down. Judging from the proficiency of this guy's movements, whether he is kowtowing or kneeling as a punishment, this is probably not his first time.
Seeing such a rogue son, the emperor could only cover his head with a headache. After sighing slightly, he turned his attention to another son in the palace whom he had neither held nor seen since birth. Just when he wanted to speak, he was a little embarrassed to find that he hadn't named his son yet.
Otherwise, it is said that the eunuchs around the emperor are the most clever and the most knowledgeable. Seeing that the emperor looked a little embarrassed, Eunuch Gao, who had previously delivered orders to Huang Qiong and had stayed in the palace, immediately guessed why the emperor was embarrassed. He hurriedly bowed down and whispered Huang Qiong's name to the emperor.
Of course, as a prince, Huang Qiong's name had to be given by the emperor and then handed over to Zongzheng Temple to be made into a jade plate collection before it was officially included in the royal family's genealogy. Except for the emperor himself, no one else can count. Even Huang Qiong's mother does not have this right. Therefore, Huang Qiong's current name is at best a nickname and is not recognized by the royal family.
Hearing the personal eunuch tell him that he had never given a nickname to his son before, Huang Qiong's emperor frowned slightly and said: "Qiong is a beautiful jade. Give me a papaya and give me Qiong Ju in return." .Okay, this is a good name. Since the name your mother gave you is good and meaningful, I won’t do it anymore.”
"Your name will be the word Qiong. I think your mother only gave you a name, not a word, so I will give you a word. You have lived in the cold palace with your mother for more than ten years, and you have never been born. Matter. Mr. Jingjie of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said in "Peach Blossom Spring" that when asked about this world, no matter whether it was Wei or Jin, there was Han. The first character is taken from the character "世".
"As for the second word? Zhuangzi said: The most important thing for a child is benevolence. In this way, how about I give you the second word Shiren? You are a prince, and every word and deed represents the dignity of the Tian family. I, Da Qi, have always governed the world with benevolence, and the word benevolence reminds you to always remember your identity and not to forget to treat others with benevolence."
"Shiren, why do these two words sound so familiar?" Huang Qiong always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the words given to him by the emperor. He always felt that he had heard it there before, but just thought about it for a moment. Can't get up. But when he connected his last name with this word, several black lines suddenly appeared on his head.
Huang Shiren, isn't this the number one villain in the famous opera "The White-Haired Girl" that he studied in middle school texts in later generations? If you were given such a word, would you still have to find a loser named Mu Renzhi? Do we have to compete with men to dominate women in order to be worthy of this title?
But even though he despised the word "gift" given by the emperor in his heart, Huang Qiong was helpless. In this era where the emphasis is on the king having the authority and the ministers to be inseparable, the father to have the authority and the son to be inseparable, the emperor in front of him is the king and a father to himself, they are father and son, and even more monarch and minister. No matter how much he hated the word, Huang Qiong could only kneel down and thank him.
"You are seventeen this year, no, you should be eighteen, right?" Seeing that Huang Qiong knew the rules, the emperor waved his hand to signal him to get up, and then said after a slight hesitation. When Huang Qiong was born, it was the critical moment for him to regain control of the government. How could he care to remember the son who almost took his throne and even his own life?
After regaining control of the government, Huang Qiong's mother was deposed and her son was relegated to the cold palace with no chance to see her again. Maybe it's deliberate neglect, maybe it's other reasons. He really didn't remember his son's true age, and he didn't have much impression in his heart.
If it weren't for the memorial from Zongzheng Temple, he wouldn't even be able to remember that he had a son with the woman in the cold palace who had completely defeated him in the fight, and even had a son who was unforgettable and disgraced. I didn't even expect that this son has grown so big.
