Huang Qiong, who really didn't want to continue to get involved here, looked at the emperor slightly when he said this. His expression was a little clear just now, but now after hearing his words, his expression turned cloudy again. But after gritting his teeth, he continued: "Besides, my son is also a prince, and he will also submit to the vassal in a few years, so he can be regarded as one of the half parties involved."
"If you let Erchen, the other party involved, make suggestions, foreign ministers might think that the father does not care about the life and death of the people, but favors his own son. Erchen has a special background, and if rumors spread, people will think that this is Erchen's influence. To sow discord between the father and the princes, as well as the court and the clan. No matter what the sons and ministers say, they are both selfless and selfish, and serving the public good is also unjust."
Huang Qiong, who was somewhat confused about the emperor, ignored the prince and the princes and ministers of the dynasty and refused to inquire about this matter. Huang Qiong, who insisted on getting the real idea from himself, simply gave the emperor a different answer. The Tao returns to the other body. Since when he was in office, the emperor told him to read more books by saints, he simply quoted the words of saints for himself.
It's not that Huang Qiong doesn't want to do a little bit for the people of this world, but the water here is too deep. Not only are most of the clans in the world almost certain to be involved, but also some of my own brothers, whose number is almost equivalent to a strengthened platoon, have already become feudal lords. Maybe, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will also be added.
If I can do this today, I have already tried my best. No matter how much, the muddy water might drown your own. Moreover, Huang Qiong did not dare to come up with an idea even if he had a clear idea of what he, the emperor, meant right now.
If the emperor is testing whether he is ambitious, his answer may be wrong, and he will shoot himself in the foot. In the excitement, I forgot what my mother said about me, the emperor, and I couldn't listen to her words of advice. Now my mother also said that if I, the emperor, am still suspicious by nature, he would not dare to forget it no matter what.
When asking Huang Qiong, the emperor almost guessed what kind of answer his son would give. But he never expected that Huang Qiong would either use the saint's words or the ancestral system to excuse himself. Wanting to get angry, the emperor found that Huang Qiong's words basically left no room for him to get angry.
You can't say that the saint's words are wrong, or that the ancestral system that you always respect is bullshit. The Tian family is selfless. Once this excuse came out, it was impossible for him to get angry even if he wanted to. Huang Qiong was once again very angry, but the emperor couldn't get angry even if he wanted to. Facing Huang Qiong, he just refused to take action, but there was nothing he could do.
He completely understood the meaning behind his son's words. This son is clearly telling himself that I have helped you get a head start on the matter, and how to deal with the rest is your own business. Don't come to me about this matter, I'd better avoid it. It's better for you, the old man Qiangang, to make your own decision in this matter, and my son will not get involved.
After all, those sons are your own sons and you taught them yourself. As the saying goes, father and son cannot be taught how to live. If your own son does something, you should wipe your own ass. They are all your sons anyway, so you can’t blame anyone else if this happens, right?
As for why Huang Qiong had such thoughts, the emperor still knew it. Although what happened today only pointed to King Rui and King Jing. One can glimpse the whole picture at a glance, and it is certainly not just his two sons who have done all kinds of things to embezzle people's land. Among his uncles and brothers, no more than 30% did the same thing, so he should have some fun.
No matter what kind of idea Huang Qiong came up with, he was almost always an enemy of all the clans in the world, as well as all the princes who were either vassal or not. The clan that has already succeeded will not give up its own interests. And the prince who has not yet become a vassal will also not give up his future wealth.
It is estimated that today he can lead him to meet the refugees, which is at least the limit of what he thinks he can do. Once word spreads, I am afraid that King Rui and King Jing will immediately regard it as a thorn in their side. I still know the personalities of my two sons. Some things can really be done.
Of course, the emperor also knew that what made Huang Qiong so rebellious was not just the result of offending King Rui and King Jing. Back then, his own grandfather, the Prince of Huaiyang County, had killed a river of blood in the clan. If he made any fuss about this matter, it would be easy for the clan's old and new accounts to be settled together. Otherwise, Huang Qiong would not name his special identity in his words.
Thinking of this, the emperor also knew that no matter how he asked, Huang Qiong would not say anything anymore, so he did not continue to press him. He stood up, walked outside the window and looked at the scene outside for a long time, then sighed and said: "You are right, I am the co-owner of the world, and I should have the mind to care for the world."
"In the past few years, my ears have been filled with good words, and I rarely hear those harsh words of advice. Although your words today made me a little embarrassed, they also sounded a wake-up call for me. Since I had made up my mind to be a wise king, I must There is a beginning and an end, and we must never be like Tang Xuanzong who was first bright and then dark."
"There are so many refugees pouring into Jingzhao Mansion, which is enough to show that these things have existed for a long time, but no one from the civil and military officials of the court has reported it to me. If you hadn't taken me with you today, I'm afraid I would still be here today. I was kept in the dark. I didn’t know that those two scoundrels were doing such mischief in the fiefdom.”
"I, Daqi, have always been based on agriculture. I know much better than you about the harm of land annexation. I am not that stupid yet. But this matter involves too much. In this case, King Rui and King Jing will Definitely not the only two. Most of the clans, especially those with the title of Duke or above, are probably basically the same."
"The Tian family is selfless, what a Tian family is selfless. I already knew the greed of these clans when I was the vassal king. But I did not expect that they, especially my son, would go so far. But these clans are all My sons, brothers and nephews have their bones broken but their tendons are still attached."
"Even if I punish one or two cruelly, this will not fundamentally solve the problem. It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of Da Qi, and the clan has flourished. Even if 30% of the clan is like this, it is not a small one. Number. If the illegal clan is dealt with, it will affect the stability of the court."
"But if we don't deal with it and let it go, it will shake the foundation of the imperial court. Just as you said, once someone like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rises up and shouts, it may lead to the disaster of the Yellow Turbans. At that time, once Bei Liao takes advantage of the opportunity and invades, , I am afraid that the disaster of national subjugation is imminent. How to deal with this matter really puts me in a dilemma."
"Father, I think this matter should be delayed rather than rushed. With my father's wisdom, as long as time is given, I will definitely come up with a perfect strategy." Huang Qiong had no intention of answering the emperor's words. After flattering the emperor, Huang Qiong closed his mouth again.
Huang Qiong felt that he had said enough today, and any more would have exceeded his original intention. Isn’t there a saying that a thousand words are worth less than a moment of silence? You must not be mute when you should speak, but when you should not speak, silence is golden. Of course, flattery should be patted on, and it must be patted on. Isn’t it said that if you wear it thousands of times, you will never wear it?
"You?" The emperor, who was upset about what he saw today, was so angry that he smiled instead of being angry at Huang Qiong's last flattery, which was obviously clumsy. But the emperor also knew that it would be extremely difficult to get something out of his son's mouth today.
He could only wave his hand and said: "Okay, I know you have been with me all day, and you should be tired now. You go back and rest first. Let me think about how to deal with this matter. You go and find it. Gao Wuyong, after bathing and changing clothes in the palace, you are going back. How can you behave like a human being or a ghost if the news spreads about you?"
Hearing the emperor's evaluation of his current appearance, whether human or ghost, Huang Qiong secretly muttered in his heart: "Isn't it you who created this appearance of human and ghost? Now I know that this appearance is not possible. Decency, then when you hit me before, why didn’t you consider whether it was decent or not?”
But Huang Qiong didn't dare to say these words even to death. For being made like this by the emperor, he could only admit that he was unlucky. Who can say that he is the king of a country and also happens to be his father in this life? In my situation, I should just treat myself as one of the twenty-four filial piety men, dressed in colorful clothes.
However, after hearing that he was told to go back home, Huang Qiong looked at the sky and said quickly: "I thank my father for his kindness, but I have not seen my mother since I entered the palace today. So I want to see her." After seeing my mother, is it possible to go back to the palace?" Now the sky is getting dark, and according to customs, Huang Qiong is not allowed to stay in the palace even if he is a prince.
If Huang Qiong wants to see her mother now, she can only leave the palace later after obtaining the emperor's approval. Otherwise, once the time has passed, Huang Qiong will not be able to get out even if he thinks about it. He has already left the palace to live in his own home, and staying in the palace will still violate the customs. If it doesn’t work well, someone will slap a certain big label on you. In desperation, Huang Qiong could only ask the emperor to let him stay for a while.
In response to Huang Qiong's request, the emperor responded happily: "Go ahead. When you left the palace, I promised you that you could see your mother on the special days of every month. Although it is getting late today A little, but after all, things happen for a reason. I'm sure you can stay at your mother's place for an hour. But you go take a shower and change clothes first, so that your mother doesn't think that I have abused you."
Now that the emperor has opened Chrysostom, Huang Qiong dares to continue to delay here and continue to waste the little time. After saluting the emperor, Huang Qiong immediately turned around and left like his butt was on fire. After finding Eunuch Gao and bathing and changing clothes, he went straight to Ting Xuexuan under the leadership of a young eunuch.
After arriving at Tingxuexuan, Huang Qiong discovered that although her mother still lived in Tingxuexuan, the wall that originally blocked the hospital door had been demolished. Although the eunuchs and maids in Ting Xuexuan have not returned to the queen's standards, they have been increased a lot according to the imperial concubine's customization. As for the deaf-mute old eunuchs who were originally in charge of cleaning, they no longer know where they have been transferred.
Seeing Ting Xuexuan's change, Huang Qiong frowned slightly. Although the treatment now is completely different from the past. At least compared with the deserted place in the past, there is now a bit more human fragrance. But looking at the eunuchs and maids who were listening to the comings and goings in Xuexuan, Huang Qiong knew that this change was not something she would like given her mother's personality.
