At this point, looking at the old man's appearance, Huang Qiong pondered for a while, and finally decided to comfort the old man and said: "The eldest son of the second brother is now seventeen years old, and it's time to give him a title. The son decided to canonize him. As a general to assist the country. As for whether he can be promoted in the future, it depends on his own ability. The Ministry of Industry is seizing the time to build the palaces of several younger brothers who have reached the age of leaving the palace. Once the construction is completed, the son will be promoted to theirs immediately. Title."
"The sons of their royal palace will also carefully select the officials of their palace. The son of Yong'an County Prince who was born by Princess Shen has been promoted to Prince An. After renovating the original Prince Ji's Palace, Shuang'er pointed it out. He. The money to open the mansion was also allocated according to the customization. Therefore, the father does not have to worry about his younger brothers. As long as they are honest and do not play hard to death like the older brothers, or eat meat and fish for the common people, a son should give him what he wants. All benefits will be provided. If they are capable, my son will also grant them certain errands."
"After they leave the palace, my son will also strictly discipline them. I also hope that one day, they will come to the father to plead for mercy, and the father will still deal with them impartially. The brothers have all grown up in the palace since childhood, and now they are outside the palace. It is easy for some villains to take advantage of them. If they are not strictly disciplined, they will cause trouble sooner or later. The son has made a clear decree that all princes who leave the palace must continue to study in the palace school. The master must strictly assess them , If you fail the assessment, your son will also be severely punished."
After hesitating for a long time and looking at the old man's state, Huang Qiong still did not tell the news that the King of Shu was dead. I was afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to bear it and would really fall ill. After Huang Qiong finished speaking, thinking of King Song and King Teng, the old man sighed and said, "You can handle it. As long as you can save their lives, you can decide what to do with them. There are no blisters on your feet." I walked on my own, and the path went astray. It’s because I, as a father, didn’t educate myself well, and it has nothing to do with you.”
"You have done a good job in settling the second son's descendants. However, should you also consider your eldest brother's son? His father did do a lot of wrong things back then, but after all, he has not done anything to you. What an evil thing. His descendants are also my grandsons, descendants of the Tian family. You even made the second son a general. Should his son also be given a title? I know this. Things are a bit difficult for you. But they are all my grandsons, so I still have to say what I should say."
"I also know that there is no brotherhood in the Tian family. But I still hope that you should consider it. My time is running out, and I don't want to see you again before I leave. The scene of you brothers is also in my heart. It will happen again with your grandchildren. This is also the last thing I ask you. As for your brothers, now that you are the emperor, it is naturally your responsibility to discipline them. How to discipline them is up to you. They come. When they come to me to cry to Qin Ting, I will naturally ignore them."
Maybe he remembered something, but the old man's face looked very ugly. The old man also knew that it was not easy for Prince Teng and Prince Song to save their lives according to their previous methods. Therefore, the old man did not get too entangled in this matter. But for the sake of his grandchildren, he finally expressed his plea for mercy. Because he knows that the final outcome of his grandchildren now depends on how this son handles them. As for him, the supreme emperor and grandfather, he is really powerless right now.
After receiving the old man's pleading look, Huang Qiong agreed without hesitation. Indicating that he would go back, Zongzhengji was asked to start preparations. At least the title of General Feng En will definitely not be missing from him. I will also give the descendants of King Jing the treatment they deserve. Likewise, as long as he doesn't commit suicide, he will ensure that he has enough food and clothing for the rest of his life. The deposed prince, King Jing, and the son of King Song were all given the titles and treatment they deserved. Even Huang Qiong, the eldest son of King Ji, also made a promise.
Although King Ji said he couldn't leave the mansion, he even said he couldn't leave the enclosed courtyard. But his son, Huang Qiong, also promised to give him a title. Of course, this is not just the old man’s request. Among them was Wang Xuemei, who came to Huang Qiong many times to plead for mercy. King Ji was wrong, but the child was not. Although the child was not born to Wang Xuemei, it was raised by Wang Xuemei since childhood. There is still a deep mother-son affection between the two people. And having that kind of relationship with Huang Qiong, Wang Xuemei always felt sorry for King Ji.
Although I also know that what happened to King Ji may not seem like a big deal, but in fact it is a heinous crime. As a royal prince, when the country was in trouble, he actually wanted to escape to a foreign tribe that was invading the country, and was willing to become a pawn of the foreign tribe. Therefore, Wang Xuemei also knew that even if she begged again, it would be difficult for Prince Ji to keep him. She could only think of a way to save King Ji's eldest son so that he could give King Ji an explanation. Before Huang Qiong went south, he promised Wang Xuemei that he would properly consider the matter of King Ji's eldest son when he came back.
Even for the sake of Wang Xuemei's peace of mind, at least she would not treat him badly. Because Huang Qiong also knew that Wang Xuemei and himself were almost semi-forced. There are no problems between Wang Xuemei and King Ji like other kings. Although King Ji also had several concubines, it can be said that he only favored Wang Xuemei. Unfortunately, Wang Xuemei's tenderness did not really warm King Ji's heart. For the sake of so-called power, he did irreparable things. In the end, he was imprisoned and his descendants were also affected.
Faced with Wang Xuemei's pleading, Huang Qiong finally relented, which is why today's episode happened. As for the King of Song, Huang Qiong simply pities the Princess of Song. Because he knew clearly that King Song was a complete bastard, and he even proposed to marry Princess Song to him. I am half responsible for the tragedy of Princess Song. And King Yong didn’t know if he was forced by Princess Yong to plead for her handkerchief. Huang Qiong was also given several secrets in order to keep King Song's son and Princess Song.
It was for this reason that Huang Qiong agreed to give King Song his son a title. Although he was just a general, he could at least give Princess Song something to rely on in the future so that she would not be too impoverished. Because Huang Qiong knows too well what kind of character the wives of those princesses have. When Lin Hanyan first came to Beijing, her parents never even took a look. Until he followed him into the palace. Although he has no status, his status in the palace is quite high, but he can't wait to run to the palace eight times a day to see Lin Hanyan.
From time to time, Lin Hanyan's sister, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and even mother were sent to stay in the palace for several days in the name of visiting relatives. Although Lin Hanyan was in great trouble, there was nothing he could do. What else could she do? Although she despised the two faces of her family members, they were her parents after all. Although Princess Song was said to come from a family of military officers, there is probably not much difference between her civil and military backgrounds in terms of being implicated. It is estimated that Princess Song's family will stay away from her.
Although they are still living in Prince Song's Mansion, everyone knows that it is no longer their home. By the time Huang Qiong comes up with his advice, they will have to move out at any time. The family members of a convicted prince can no longer live in the palace. Once they moved away from the palace, the family members of King Song became rootless duckweeds. The king of Song Dynasty was always arrogant and arrogant among the kings. Not to mention Huang Qiong, the current emperor, even all his brothers looked down upon him. In addition, Concubine De was domineering in the palace.
Mother and son can be said to have eliminated many enemies inside and outside the palace. Almost everyone is waiting for his family members to move out of the palace so that they can add insult to injury. Not only King Song, but also the families of King Teng and King Ji are waiting for this outcome. Prince Ji was doing better. In the past few years, he was cautious and cautious, and he had some virtuous orders inside and outside the palace. The court did not announce the reason why he was imprisoned. It's just that he is disobedient and illegal. Because he was kind to the people of the feudal land at the beginning, and he was still popular in the feudal land.
After he returned to Beijing, people from the former vassal area came to visit him many times. He was imprisoned, and there were still people in the fiefdom who complained on his behalf. Not only that, but he also continued to send food to his house. King Teng is different. He has more enemies in the capital than even King Song. Now that he is imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, some people are throwing stones into his house. If it weren't for the strict protection sent by King Yong, something big might have happened. Prince Teng's concubines and children now dare not even leave the house.
It's human nature to support the high and suppress the low. This is even more true when you arrive at Heaven’s Home. It was precisely because of these things that Huang Qiong felt somewhat guilty for Princess Song who was pushed into the fire pit by himself. Therefore, although he hated King Song to death, Huang Qiong still felt a little guilty towards Princess Song. After the King of Song was imprisoned, on more than one occasion, in the name of Situ Huanshuang, Princess Song was given some rewards and subsidies to the Princess of Song, who now had no salary and her family could not afford to support such a large family, so her life was difficult.
In order to win over the courtiers and compete for the position of prince, the King of Song not only did not save much savings, but even owed half of his debt. His maternal family has also declined, and he has made no other progress in recent years. It's not like Yong Wang, who once controlled the underworld in the capital, has other ways to make money. As he was imprisoned and without his salary, the government was almost unable to open the pot. If Huang Qiong hadn't secretly asked Situ Huanshuang to supplement some of the Song princesses, people might have starved to death.
It was precisely because he felt sorry for Princess Song that Prince Ji had Wang Xuemei to help him plead for mercy. Huang Qiong agreed to make arrangements for the old man's sons who committed crimes and the grandchildren he left behind. The old man proposed to depose the prince's son, and Huang Qiong agreed. In any case, those people were not only his nephews, but also the grandsons of the old man. Especially the deposed prince, who was once the most valued son of the old man. Although he said that he was willing to die and kept a prostitute, after all, he was the son that the old man loved the most.
Huang Qiong had never been afraid of his father before, so why did he care about a child who had no power? But only the son of the King of Shu was not mentioned by the old man, and neither was Huang Qiong. In fact, it's not that the old man doesn't want to mention it, but he also knows that the grudge between Huang Qiong and the King of Shu will probably never be resolved. Asking Huang Qiong to follow the example of others and ennoble the descendants of Queen Shu, even for a lieutenant, is really too much. Now Huang Qiong is able to distribute offerings as usual every month and has never withheld anything.
In fact, it is worthy of them. No matter how much you ask for, Huang Qiong may not be able to do it. The old man also knows how difficult this son has been in these years. In order to save money and silk for military expenses, the palace was frugal again and again. Compared with when he was in power, although the number of concubines was much greater, the cost of the palace was not half as much as before. Even so, not a penny was deducted from the children of the deposed prince, King Jing, and King Shu. Just as he said, everything that should be given was given.
Except for the title, everything else is the same. Of course, it is incomparable to the previous life in the East Palace and the Royal Palace. But at least he has enough food and clothing. Of course, the premise is that their mother should not spend too much money. Just like the mother of King Jing's eldest son, not only did she live a luxurious life, but she even wanted to marry her parents at this time, which almost caused a scandal in the family.
