But in the emperor's words, when he told Huang Qiong to learn to be patient, he didn't realize that he had also exposed some small emotions. The emperor clearly still had deep memories of what happened to him when he was young. When educating Huang Qiong, she treated her mother, who had suffered so much and never enjoyed a day of happiness, as a royal grandmother.
On the contrary, he never called his biological father, Emperor Sejong, the shadow-maker when he was young, his father. Even for his own son, the grandson of Emperor Sejong, he never called him "grandfather". I'm afraid that Emperor Sejong, in the emperor's heart, felt the same as Huang Qiong felt towards his biological father when he first left the palace.
Emperor Sejong seemed very respectful on the surface, but kept his mouth shut. But in fact, in my heart, I probably never regarded him as my father. Emperor Sejong's words invisibly widened the relationship between father and son. Although it is generally normal for a successor to be an emperor to call his or her father by his imperial name as a sign of respect.
But between the two people talking now, something was a little abnormal. It is normal among monarchs and ministers to call one's predecessor by his temple name. But in the conversation between father and son, neither the late emperor nor the imperial examination was used, and the emperor's grandfather was not used. In this way, calling the senior in front of his nephew seemed to be a more intimate and honorific term. It's very unusual to just use a very official title.
Of course, there will be no exception in this, the one who only spends the whole day drinking and drinking. In violation of the ancestral system that Emperor Taizong stipulated when he moved the capital, future generations could only use the existing palace as their imperial palace and were not allowed to build another palace. In the year of severe drought, the new palace was built on a large scale, and the inhumane Emperor Sejong was entrusted to assist the government, almost losing the country.
But perhaps more of it is the lingering resentment towards those old accounts from back then. When talking about the Emperor Liezong back then, the prince who had been bullying him, his words were not very comfortable. It was obvious that the emperor had not forgotten the past.
Perhaps in his heart, his biological father, Emperor Sejong, did not support him in ascending to the throne, and Huang Qiong's grandfather was more worthy of respect. After all, without Huang Qiong's grandfather, one emperor would be deposed and another emperor established. He also killed almost all of Emperor Sejong's descendants, so he would not be able to take the throne no matter what.
It's just that Huang Qiong's reaction ability can certainly tell the resentment in his tone towards himself, the emperor. It's just that although I heard it, I didn't dare to say it out. Besides, emperors have been treated like gods in self-promotion since ancient times. Sons of God, the divine right to kingship has existed since ancient times.
But Huang Qiong also knew that in fact, the emperor was also a human being, and he also had emotions and had his own emotions and desires. What's more, the shadow of childhood is unforgettable for anyone. Moreover, I, the emperor, happen to be the kind of person with a very good memory. It is normal to have grievances, but it is abnormal not to have grievances.
At this time, the emperor, compared with the aloofness of the past, had more of an ordinary person's atmosphere. Of course, what was in his heart was his own, but in response to the emperor's words, Huang Qiong still refused to answer or express his position as usual. Although Huang Qiong had already understood the meaning of the emperor's words. But he knew that this was not the time for him to answer the call.
Seeing that Huang Qiong had no expression on his face when he heard him mentioning the Prince of Huaiyang, as if he was talking about someone who had nothing to do with him, but the emperor frowned slightly without any trace. Although he knew that his son must understand the meaning of his words now. But he was not sure what his son thought about the meaning of his words.
The emperor was right in guessing the true meaning of his words. Although Huang Qiong didn't understand his true intention for a while, there was one thing that Huang Qiong understood clearly. The emperor told Huang Qiong from the side about what he said in a big circle. Although the assassination cannot be left undisclosed, it is not time to lift the lid now, and what I have to do now is to be patient.
In these words, the emperor told Huang Qiong almost bluntly that what he experienced back then was far more difficult than what Huang Qiong is experiencing now. He could endure it back then, so why can't you? The old man was telling Huang Qiong not to conflict with the prince at this time. Sometimes when it's time to give in, you still have to give in.
And I suppressed this matter temporarily, not to protect anyone, but for a reason. The emperor's words made Huang Qiong feel that the emperor believed that his assassination was related to several conflicts with the prince. However, Huang Qiong was a little unclear as to whether these words were the emperor's true words or whether they were meant to comfort himself.
Looking at Huang Qiong who was silent and silent, although he couldn't figure out Huang Qiong's true thoughts for a while. But the emperor understood that his son had at least partially listened to his words. The emperor, who was somewhat pleased with Huang Qiong's performance, was somewhat relaxed today.
"You have good character and are very smart, but you have two obvious weaknesses that are easy for your opponents to take advantage of. One is that your personality is sometimes a bit extreme and you tend to get into trouble. You have nose cancer on your face. You seem to be very smooth, but in fact you are very principled, and you have a certain temperament that would rather bend than bend. This is your strength, but it is also your biggest weakness."
"You are still young, and you still have a long way to go. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you will calm down first and not be swayed by your own emotions. I hope you will learn to be more decisive in the face of a more powerful opponent. Know how to hide your emotions. Never put yourself in danger just because of temporary pleasure."
"Second, you are too affectionate. Of course, I am not saying that you are completely wrong. I was also like this when I was your age. But this is not a shortcoming in ordinary people, but as a prince , it is extremely dangerous to be emotional everywhere. I don’t want to hear or see you giving up on yourself because of things between men and women."
"I'm telling you this today because I don't want you to do anything irreversible because of impulse in the future, and I don't want you to be too indulged in the love of your children. You are a prince, not one of those who are always carefree and romantic. A scholar and poet. As a prince, you must not only have the dignity of a prince, but also have the responsibility of the heavenly family."
"After you go back today, savor my words carefully. It will be of great benefit to your future actions. You know the changes that have taken place in Japan during this period even if I don't tell you. I need to be a capable helper now, not just accept it. A son who cannot recover after some blows." The emperor's words seemed to be reprimanding Huang Qiong, but there was unconcealable appreciation in his tone.
"As for my safety, you don't need to worry about it. I know it well. I don't believe that someone can really change the world. Our Qi Dynasty is not the Southern Dynasty, and I am not Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty. If I don't even have this ability If not, how could I have been in charge of this world for more than ten years?"
"I heard that the people who saved you are now in your house. In this way, you can report their identities. If they are willing to stay, I will have someone replace them with the identity of a bodyguard. These If someone saves my son, I will naturally not hesitate to reward him generously. Even ordinary people know that kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. Is this truth not known to the Tian family? "
Although the emperor was pleased with Huang Qiong's concerns about his safety, he did not take it seriously. Although the current situation was somewhat beyond his expectation. But this king of a country is still quite confident in himself. Thinking that something unexpected happened does not mean that the situation has really developed out of control. At least the overall situation is still under one's control.
"My son, I will remember my father's teachings and think twice before doing anything in the future. I will be more calm when encountering problems and will never be impulsive. But I still hope that my father can take precautions around me. You are the king of a country. , your safety is related to the public sentiment of the people in the world. It is even more related to the safety of the world."
"Father, based on your own personal experience, you ask me to think twice before doing anything. But you should also set an example for me and other brothers in this matter. Now that brothers are experiencing accidents one after another, who can Are you jealous of ensuring that that person is not killed? Are you so audacious that you dare to openly kill the king?"
""Father, I have only two long-cherished wishes. I hope that the world will always enjoy peace and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. The second is to hope that your parents will be healthy and live a long life. To his children, the father is not only a king but also a father. Your safety is not only related to the safety of the world, but also the life wishes of my son. I sincerely ask my father to take more precautions. "
Huang Qiong listened to the emperor's lesson. He understood that this was a father's warning to his adult son. Although the emperor's father has been trying hard to play the role of a strict father after recognizing himself. But for Huang Qiong, who has grown up, his strict father appears too late.
Huang Qiong had always disapproved of his past beatings. But whether Huang Qiong agreed with these words today or not, she felt a little moved in her heart. And this touching feeling comes from today’s almost frank conversation. Even if he, the emperor's father, has done what he has done today, even if he has other selfish motives, it is enough for a son.
Before, Huang Qiong never felt like he did today, even after knowing that the emperor guarded his mansion all night after he was assassinated. After the emperor's almost heart-to-heart talk today, Huang Qiong truly accepted his father, the emperor, emotionally.
For the first time, Huang Qiong accepted the emperor Jin'er's teachings sincerely. When Huang Qiong looked like a teachable child, the emperor, who was very satisfied, was about to say something else. His talk about sex was interrupted by a eunuch who stumbled over. Huang Qiong had seen the eunuch who ran over to the emperor and knew that he was the eunuch in charge of the queen's palace.
The emperor was somewhat displeased when he saw the eunuch running over in a panic and telling the guards and eunuchs below not to disturb him. But when they thought of the eunuch's identity and looked at the panicked expression on his face, the emperor and Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel startled, feeling that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, when the eunuch saw the emperor, he didn't care to look at the emperor's livid face. Without saying a word, he knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, the empress has just passed away." He had suffered several blows in the past few days, and he still suffered from the pain of losing three sons. No past emperor heard the news.
If Huang Qiong hadn't been there to hold him up, he would have almost fallen to the ground. The emperor, who was once again hit hard by this unfortunate news, held Huang Qiong's hand tightly and did not let go for a long time. Huang Qiong could almost hear the emperor clenching his hands making a crackling sound.
