This is the first time Huang Qiong has heard of King Yong's past experiences. He didn't expect that his seventh brother had experienced so many things. His indulgence in sensuality was not something he had from the beginning. It is precisely because of this past, which can be regarded as a painful experience, that he has the indulgence he has today.
I also know that my seventh brother is not without means. It's just that he doesn't want to impose those so-called methods on his brother. As the seventh brother, I still have some brotherly feelings in my heart. Otherwise, when King Zhao was mentioned just now, his eyes would not be a little wet.
Huang Qiong, who just didn't know how to comfort King Yong, hesitated for a while and said: "Brother Qi, don't be too sentimental about some things. It should be noted that God is watching what people do. Although some people rely on conspiracy to achieve temporary success. It's profitable, but it's far from a long-term solution. Don't worry, the sky can see the tricks that some people use to get ahead of others, and so can my father."
"It's not that some things are unpaid, it's just that the time has not come. The way of heaven is reincarnation. Have you ever seen who the sky bypasses? Brother Qi, the past has passed, and you should always come out. People can't live in the shadow all the time. Isn't it? Even if it's not for others, for the sake of Concubine Zhuang, you can't continue to be so ignorant here. "
In response to Huang Qiong's consolation, King Yong rolled his eyes and said: "Ninth brother, I'm not like this, what do you ask your seventh brother to do? In the past few years since the founding of the country, we, the descendants of the Tian family, except for those who are lucky enough to ascend the throne, Isn’t that the only way to save yourself and your family’s lives by living in confusion?”
"In the eyes of ordinary people, we, the children of the Heavenly Family, have enjoyed endless glory and wealth since we fell off the grass. We have beautiful wives and concubines every day. But how many people know that we The lives of these people are the least valuable, and they are also the most tired and aggrieved group of people.
"You are uneducated. Your own father scolds you all day long. You just want to improve. Not to mention being the prince, even your own father will be suspicious. Why are you so eager to improve? What do you have? What do you think? What do you want to do? Have you had enough of the title of prince and want to change your position? Do you have any thoughts about your position? "
"In the emperor's heart, we people are their sons, but we are also their enemies. Sometimes, you don't even know what to do. It's like crossing that kind of single-plank bridge. There is no way to do it. , If you don’t do it, it’s not the same thing. If you do it well, it’s not the same thing. If you don’t do it well, it’s not the same thing.”
"You have a special status. Even if the old man is dissatisfied, he can't do anything to you. Concubine Jing just doesn't do anything. As long as she sits there, the old man will have to take action. The things your boy did would not be possible if it were anyone else. Try it, the best I can give you is a rebuke."
"But if it were me, would the people you sent out be able to do it? What do you want to do when you plead for the people? Do you want to compete with him as the emperor for the hearts of the people? That day outside Liu Hu's house, I knew you were right I am a little dissatisfied with my unwillingness to stand up for those people. Although you are very good at pretending, no matter how well you hide your thoughts, your eyes cannot change."
"Although I, your Seventh Brother, have a rough temper, I am not blind yet. But what else can you ask your Seventh Brother to do? The fact that I could go there with you that day was already the limit that the old man could endure. Again. If there are too many, you won’t be able to get through the old man’s place. People’s hearts, is that something we people should touch?”
"If I had not lived in a hazy way, I would not be alive today. I once told you that in addition to eating enough and drinking enough, we should not treat ourselves badly in this life. The biggest task is to give The royal family is blooming. If you are too busy, you are feeling sorry for yourself."
"The first thing that people face in life is how to have a full stomach. As for those of us who want to live, the first thing we face is not to arouse the suspicion of our own father and the prince. Otherwise, what do you think we should do? There is a history in history How many smart and capable princes did not die in the hands of outsiders, but died in the hands of their own fathers and brothers?"
"I don't want to make my mother-in-law sad, and I don't want my mother to have any accidents because of me. It's very difficult for someone to poison a dozen of my hounds quietly and under my nose, and let me follow the same path as King Zhao." Is it difficult? Let me tell you, if I hadn’t changed myself, I might have died even more inexplicably than King Zhao."
After King Yong finished speaking, Huang Qiong also fell silent. King Yong was right, let alone an ordinary prince. It is the prince of a country. If he is too shrewd and capable, he will encounter the kind of emperor who is very jealous. If my own emperor feels that he is a threat to his imperial power, he will be abolished without mercy.
It is said that the princes of many dynasties were more ridiculous, but now it seems that many of them were forced to do so in desperation. Among the shrewd princes of the past dynasties, except for those who finally ascended the throne and became emperor, to be honest, not many died at a healthy age. Just like Li Ke in the former Tang Dynasty, he never really rebelled. Wasn't it the same that he was forced to commit suicide by his own brother?
There is no flesh and blood in the Heavenly Family. There is no need for King Yong to say this. It is a bloody reality. Perhaps, as King Yong said, a life of confusion and indulgence is the life that these children of the Tian family should have most. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong looked at King Yong beside him who was also uninterested, and could only smile silently and bitterly.
Huang Qiong, who didn't want to get entangled in this matter, and didn't want to see King Yong so decadent, quickly changed the subject: "Brother Qi, there are still two days. Do you think we should continue shopping here, or should we just stop here?" Return to the capital. This time, your ninth brother and I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. We will go wherever you want. This is not far from Zhongyue Temple, why don’t you go and see your sister Bao’er?”
Speaking of Yuan Bao'er, King Yong looked at Huang Qiong and said with even less interest: "No, I won't go see that crazy girl. Why go see her? There were only two of us before. It doesn't matter what she calls me. But now I have a lot of bullshit that I can’t stop tearing off, so that others can see how I was laughed at by her?”
"These days, I am always a little uneasy and feel that something is about to happen. Although it is cleaner here, I don't know anything, and I am like a deaf person. If something big happens in the capital, let's do it It’s a shame that I’ve lost my life, and I’m still confused.”
"Besides, we didn't ask for an order when we came out this time. We can't really assume that those ancestral institutions don't exist. It's been a long time since we came out. Even if the old man doesn't pursue the case, there will be something wrong with the prince. You don't care, but I already have a lot of criminal records with the old man."
"It turns out that it's okay to get slapped for drinking, but if I get slapped for going out for fun, then I'll die. Let's go back to Beijing now. Although Liangyuan here is nice, it's not what you and I have loved for a long time. Hometown. Back to Beijing, I haven’t seen you for a while, and I miss Jingniang. After you return to the palace, you take me to Jingfei’s palace to meet Jingniang.”
After that, he ignored the guards and the twenty cavalry behind him, and without even saying hello, he put his legs under the horse's belly and rushed towards the capital. Seeing this guy saying that the wind is the wind, Huang Qiong could only smile helplessly, and followed him with the others.
After returning to the capital, Huang Qiong and King Yong did not dare to delay and rushed to the palace immediately. After all, they were one day later than others. Although they did not ask for an order at the time, the two of them acted boldly without authorization. But now that he has come back, it is impossible not to give the emperor an answer. After arriving at the palace, the two handed over the sign and were immediately summoned by the emperor.
Seeing the two people, the emperor's originally gloomy expression softened slightly. Although he waved his hand to stop the grand ceremony that the two people were about to perform, the emperor almost choked them to death with his words: "It's not bad. You still know how to come back. I thought you two were going to die outside and refuse to come back."
"You two went out for two days without asking for permission. During the Queen's funeral, who gave you such courage? Do you two dare to imitate some people and want to rebel? Is it true? Damn, I’m already old and confused now, aren’t I? I’m really a bastard.”
Hearing that the emperor's tone was wrong, Huang Qiong and King Yong looked at each other, not even daring to say a word. The emperor might get angry when he came back, for which they were mentally prepared. But neither of them expected that the emperor would be so angry and didn't say anything. Moreover, they heard that there was another meaning in the emperor's words, so the two of them didn't dare to reply.
The emperor was very angry. When he saw his two sons, they both chose to remain silent. Instead of alleviating the anger in his heart, he became even more angry and slapped his own imperial case and said angrily: "Do you really think that you can get away with it without speaking? King Yong, tell me first, what on earth did you do? "
Hearing that the emperor named his own name first, King Yong could only kneel down and kowtow honestly: "Father, my son and his ninth brother met Yuan Tianzheng's daughter on their way back to the capital. Yuan Baoer is very popular with you. Seeing that you are unhappy these days, your son wants to find that crazy girl, no, girl back, so that you can be happy and happy."
"It's just that girl. She said that she was following her master in the Zhongyue Temple, doing a dip for Queen Daxing. She had to ask her master for instructions before she could decide whether to come back or not. This girl was so slippery and tight that her son slipped away accidentally. . My son has just chased her all the way to Songshan Mountain, hoping to bring her back to stay with you for a few days."
But in response to King Yong's answer, the emperor said coldly: "Did you really think so? It was to make me happy, not because you wanted to go out and cause trouble, so you didn't follow the group back? Then did I Do I need to praise you for your filial piety?"
"Do you really think that I am so easy to fool, that you can just make up a few lies to fool me? You bastard, look who is standing behind me? That girl is much more filial than you, and you still need you to arrest her. Man? He came back yesterday, earlier than your filial son."
After hearing the emperor's words, King Yong looked back. When he saw the crazy girl he was talking about, she had changed into elegant palace clothes and was standing behind him with a smile on her face, looking at him. Seeing Yuan Baoer who suddenly appeared unexpectedly, I couldn't help but wailed in my heart. I thought I could escape by making up an excuse, but I didn't expect that the real owner was here, and I was caught in the act.
Seeing Yuan Baoer behind him, King Yong wanted to slap himself twice. Didn't this crazy girl say she was in Songshan and couldn't come back even if she did whatever she did with her master? When did she come back and run directly into the palace? How could I be so careless and forget that this crazy girl always knows how to show off her tricks? You have suffered so many losses, why do you still care so much about eating rather than fighting?
