How dare Huang Qiong refuse the old man's request? He carefully supported the emperor, and together they came to the imperial garden they had just left. Looking at the plum blossoms in full bloom in the garden, I remembered that I would hold Situ Huanshuang in my arms, and even almost kiss her like thunder. Huang Qiong's old face couldn't help but blush slightly even though it was now very thick-skinned.
However, although Huang Qiong's blush lasted only for a moment, it was keenly noticed by the emperor who had been observing him secretly. Although it is not clear why Huang Qiong blushed, he has not forgotten who the emperor Huang Qiong was with in the imperial garden before. After thinking about it for a while, he realized the reason why his son, who rarely showed his emotions in front of outsiders, even in front of himself as a father, blushed.
However, although the emperor noticed something strange about Huang Qiong, he did not point it out. He was very patient and patted Huang Qiong's hand, which was distracted. Huang Qiong, who had just recovered from his distraction after being slapped by the emperor, was somewhat embarrassed when he wanted to explain, but found that he didn't know how to say it.
Looking at Huang Qiong, who looked a little embarrassed, the emperor waved his hand to stop him from explaining his actions, and then smiled slightly and said: "Your kid is not in the right mood today. Didn't you think about how to reject this marriage all day long? Why did you and the princess change your mind after taking a trip to the imperial garden? Did you regret it when you saw how beautiful she was? "
Listening to the emperor's extremely rare teasing about himself, Huang Qiong scratched his head and said: "It's hard to say whether I regret it or not. The king is the guide for the ministers, and the father is the guide for the sons. You are the king of your sons and theirs. Father, you have decided on this marriage. No matter how much I object, it is useless, right? As for whether the princess is beautiful or not, it is the same to me, and I am not the same anyway."
Huang Qiong originally wanted to say that he was not that kind of lecherous person, but when he thought of the group of warblers at home, he could no longer say this sentence. There are a lot of people around me now who are famous and unnamed, who can be exposed and who cannot be exposed. If you want to say that you are not lewd, let alone the emperor, no one in the entire capital will believe you.
Huang Qiong is a typical duck in a pot. If the meat is rotten but the mouth is not rotten, the emperor did not refute him after hearing this. Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "You don't mean what you say. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why?" So much nonsense? I also came here when I was young. Although I didn’t get to the point where you live in your house, I still know that people don’t spend their youth in a romantic way. "
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with liking beautiful women. Among the emperors of ancient times, there are those so-called sage kings. How many of them are actually not lewd? Not to mention the First Emperor, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Wouldn't he rather live without sex for three days? Meat, can’t you live without a woman for a day? Emperor Guangwu, who revitalized the Han Dynasty, once expressed his emotion when he was young that when he wanted to marry a wife, he should marry Yin Lihua? "
"Is it the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty who I praise most? He not only accepted the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, but also brought his sisters-in-law into the palace? So I think there is nothing wrong with you liking beauty. But there is one thing you have to remember, everything is beautiful. You must have a degree of control, even if you like something, you must control yourself when needed, and you must not be addicted to it, let alone become a weakness controlled by others.”
"Especially as an emperor, you must pay attention to this. As for the love between children, it is not a big deal for ordinary people. But for an emperor, it is the most fatal weakness, even more dangerous than the greed for beauty. Even bigger. You must remember what I said, those who achieve great things must not fall down in the land of gentleness."
Knowing that this was the old man teaching him how to be a king, Huang Qiong knew that something was wrong, but he did not dare to refute anything and could only nod slightly. Seeing Huang Qiong acting like a coward and clearly listening to his words, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. In the following conversation, Huang Qiong was taught a lot about how to be a king.
Huang Qiong accompanied the emperor for a walk in the imperial garden, while constantly listening to the emperor's teachings. But they didn't know that not far from them, Concubine De's bedroom occupied the best position in the entire harem. On a two-story building overlooking the entire imperial garden, there were two pairs of eyes that were half angry and half jealous, looking at the father and son in the garden.
He looked at Huang Qiong, who was supporting the emperor and chatting with him. Although he didn't know what the two of them were talking about, he was spying on the King of Song with his mother at the moment. He gritted his teeth and said: "Mother, concubine, do we really recognize each other like this? Just let that bastard climb on top of our mother and son to dominate. Fu? Just watch him helplessly and become the son-in-law of the Prince of Guilin?"
When he said these words, King Song's teeth were clenching, his eyes were red, and he was almost going crazy with jealousy. What made him jealous was not just his father and brother who were loving and filial in the imperial garden. There was also the hugging gesture that Situ Huanshuang and Huang Qiong made in the Imperial Garden.
Originally, the King of Song Dynasty knew that the emperor was going to have a banquet with the Guilin County Prince and his family at the Guangshou Hall today. So he thought of ways to get in, trying to work hard to win the favor of the beauty. For him, what attracts him is besides the endless wealth of Guilin County Prince's Palace, which can give him the greatest help in competing for the position of crown prince. Situ Huanshuang's beauty was something he could never forget.
In all his years of living, this was the first time he had seen a woman with such equal beauty and temperament. Although he was ridiculed by Situ Huanshuang last time, he was severely reprimanded by the emperor afterwards. But this King of Song is obviously still a bit evil. Especially after thinking about the benefits that could be obtained by becoming the son-in-law of the Guilin County Prince, he couldn't care less about the humiliation.
But he didn't expect that before he could get close to Guangshou Hall, he would be stopped by the guards and eunuchs. Just when he was a little discouraged and wanted to return, he happened to see Huang Qiong getting off the sedan outside the gate of Guangshou Hall. He didn't expect that Huang Qiong would accompany him today. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood the reason why Huang Qiong was here today.
After realizing that the emperor still wanted to propose marriage to that bitch that he had always despised, he almost made him angry to death. When he angrily ran to Concubine De's palace, he asked his mother and concubine to find a way to let him enter Guangshou Palace. But inadvertently, he saw Huang Qiong and Situ Huanshuang kissing in the imperial garden.
Seeing this scene that shocked everyone, the King of Song almost became so angry that he almost vomited blood. He clenched his hands tightly into fists, not caring that his nails pricked his palms. There was only one thought in my mind: "Why? Why did that woman let herself suffer so much humiliation and even be embarrassed in front of her father? She was replaced by that bitch, but she became as gentle as a little sheep."
However, after being scolded by Concubine De, King Song finally managed to stabilize his emotions and did not rush to the imperial garden to catch anything. However, when he saw the scene in front of him, he was even more furious. That is to say, young, if he were a different age, he would be older. The anger that was building up in his heart at this moment might lead to cerebral hemorrhage.
After hearing what King Song said, she looked at her son who was filled with jealousy and his eyes were as red as bleeding. At this moment, Concubine De, whose eyes were also burning, also gritted her teeth and said: "I admit it, why should I admit it?" As long as things haven't reached the final stage and that bitch hasn't ascended to the throne, we still have a chance to get it back."
"That bitch killed hundreds of officials and scholars in Zhengzhou at one go, pushing himself against all civil servants and scholars. Don't underestimate those civil servants and scholars who have no soldiers in their hands. Although they don't have military power in their hands, But you control the pen. Many times, the pen is the cruelest way to kill people."
"Now that your father is helping to suppress him, those civil servants and scholars have not caused trouble. I don't believe it. When he sits in that position and no one is helping to suppress him, those officials will sincerely support such a person. Serve? As long as we can win over most of the officials in the court, especially those important ministers, it is not certain who will win. What's more, don't forget his grandpa."
"Back then, the Prince of Huaiyang killed the clan members and the blood flowed like rivers. For the clans in the world, it would not be an exaggeration to crush his grandfather to ashes. If the grandson of the Prince of Huaiyang was hated by clans all over the world, Do you think those clans will be convinced to inherit the Great Qi Dynasty? When the time comes, the civil servants and clans will jointly oppose it. Even if your father really passes the throne to him, how can he sit still?"
At this point, Concubine De, who really didn't want to watch anymore, sat back on the chair and asked King Song to close the window. Looking at King Song who was still so angry that his teeth were chattering, he drank several cups of tea and barely suppressed the jealousy in his heart before continuing: "I told you to go find your uncle yesterday, and you went No? What did your uncle say yesterday? "
When Concubine De mentioned that she had asked her to go to her uncle to discuss the matter yesterday, King Song, who was already gloomy, turned even more gloomy and said: "Concubine, don't mention your son's uncle. Last night, my son went to find him according to your instructions. My uncle discussed it. But after he learned about his son’s intention, he hesitated for a long time but said that he needed to consider the matter in the long term. Now he doesn’t know what to do? "
"My son asked his uncle to think of something based on that bitch's life experience and his ancestral customs. If he couldn't win over some ministers of the court, he would try to kill that bitch and go on a killing spree in Zhengzhou. But no matter what the son said, uncle He just didn't say anything. When he got desperate, he said, seeing how popular that bitch is right now, I'm afraid he will enter the palace to govern after the Chinese New Year, so let's stay away for a while."
"He also said that you should not look at things temporarily and have a long-term perspective. If that bitch really enters the palace to govern in the next year, let your son intercede with his father and go to work for that bitch. Hum, he When I need you as a sister, I will agree to anything. When we need him, I will resist. Concubine, you really have a good brother."
Seeing that King Song was really losing his temper, although he was a bit stupid, after all, he had lived for so many more years, and he had always occupied a high position in the harem where the struggle was equally fierce, and he had accumulated a certain amount of experience in palace fighting. At this time, Concubine De, who had a far-sighted view than King Song, said angrily: "Shut up, how are you qualified to judge your uncle?"
"Let's not talk about whether your uncle is that kind of person, but just talk about how many things your uncle has done for you over the years? Your cousin is still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and has not been released. Although you and your uncle are taking care of you, , can’t endure much hardship. But what kind of place is Tianlao? Is that a place for people to stay? If it weren’t for you, why would your cousin suffer this fate? "
"Your uncle has been an official for so many years. Is it true that his perspective on some things is not as good as yours? Your uncle is right. Judging from the importance your father attaches to that bitch and the current situation of the princes, That bitch will most likely enter the palace to govern after the Chinese New Year. In these years, when have you seen your father and been willing to be supported by his son? "
