After patting the eldest son's still weak shoulder and looking at his resolute attitude, Huang Qiong sighed helplessly: "Don't expect a man-eating wolf to change its habits because of its relatives. In In front of that kind of person, not only everyone in the world can be used by him. Even his biological daughter is just a chess piece. If you want to protect her, I'm afraid you have to use a lot of tricks. You are about to start a family. "If you want to truly become a man, you must be an upright person."
"Also, you must protect your mother and your brothers and sisters. If your mother is hurt because of your wife, it will be too late for you to regret it. Son, you have chosen a path for yourself. , I am afraid that the future will not be peaceful, but will also be full of thorny love paths. Well, you can’t help your father when you grow up. You have chosen your own path, and you have to go on even if you bite the bullet. And I tell you clearly, if you choose her, you will also It means you will lose something forever and completely. Think about it yourself."
But to Huang Qiong's surprise, Huang Qiong seemed to have told him clearly. If you continue to choose this woman, you will lose your inheritance rights forever. The eldest son kowtowed without any hesitation: "Father, I know that I am dull and bookish. Compared with the second brother who is thoughtful and thoughtful, he is not on the same level at all. If my father really will If I help you to get into that position, you will not only harm the country and the people. More importantly, I will not be able to sit in that position at all."
"Father, I also know that since I tied up my hair, you have always wanted to choose someone between my son and my second brother. Therefore, since I and my second brother, among all the brothers, you have always wanted to choose someone. The only two princes who were personally taught by their father. The father devoted a lot of effort to his son, no less than his second brother. He even put more effort into his son because he was the eldest son. I also know that what I say today will disappoint you. But my father, I really have no intention of seeking the throne."
"Even if I disappoint my father again, this is what I said. I didn't have this idea after meeting Fei'er, but never before. Especially that day, sitting in this Wende Hall , after approving some notes for my father, this idea not only did not subside, but became even stronger. Compared with the second brother's ability to express himself freely, the son was confused. After leaving the book, he didn't know what to do. Start. Looking at the words on the fold, I think about which sentence in the book this sentence should come from. "
Having said this, he looked at Huang Qiong's cold face again. The eldest son of the emperor gritted his teeth and said: "But my father, I really am not that good. If this country and country were handed over to me, I would lose it without even knowing how. What's more, I am also extremely... I hate that kind of power struggle. Before, Erchen had never dared to say anything just in front of his father. After meeting Feier, Erchen really understood what the book said, what is the sound of Qin, Se and Ming? In heaven I wish I could be a winged bird, on earth I wish I could be a twig."
"After Fei'er found out about Erchen's identity, she made Erchen swear not to get involved in certain battles. She never wanted to be a queen, let alone let our future children fall into a bloody storm. She just wants to live the rest of her life with her son in peace. If he wants to participate in the fight for the throne, she will leave him forever. What he wants to do more now is to go boating in the rivers and lakes with Fei'er. , climb the Five Mountains to see the beautiful scenery of the world. As for power and the throne, I have never had extravagant hopes for my son."
Listening to the eldest son's words, Huang Qiong's mouth showed a trace of bitterness. Is this telling himself that he wants to quit now? He has worked hard to cultivate him for so many years, but he is still less than a woman's words. Is this the inherent tranquility in his bones, or is it because he has grown up and cannot control his father? All the hard work I have spent on him over the years has been wasted like this? Huang Qiong didn't know what to say for a moment. But when he looked at his eldest son again, his eyes revealed utter disappointment.
After a long time, Huang Qiong turned around and sighed softly before saying: "Everyone chooses the path he takes. As long as you don't regret it in the future. Since you have chosen this path, you must be restrained from now on. Mayfair. Do your best to play the music of the harp and the piano, and go boating on the five lakes. If her life experience is really as I judged, I don’t want to hear that she has any contact with that person in the future. Don’t worry, I will still In that sentence, I will give you whatever is due to you. As for now, go back and prepare for the wedding."
After the eldest son left, Huang Qiong couldn't catch his breath for a long time. More than ten years of painstaking efforts in education were just wasted. This time, the eldest son was really angry. No matter who it was, I'm afraid they wouldn't be at ease. Although I am not too optimistic about this bookish eldest son of the emperor. But after all, it has been painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years and has placed great hopes on it. But being let go, being abducted by a woman, Huang Qiong's disappointment couldn't help but seep into his bones.
How do you describe that feeling? It's like a pig that has been raised for more than ten years, but was kidnapped with a piece of cabbage. Gao Huaiyuan, who had just arrived to report, unexpectedly bumped into the muzzle of the gun. Huang Qiong, who was extremely disappointed, trained Gao Huaiyuan to be like his grandson. He almost made his nephew, who was already in his thirties and a dignified earl, cry on the spot. However, Gao Huaiyuan was not unjust after being punished like this. After all, no matter what, he also has some responsibility for this matter.
If he hadn't been helping his eldest son cover up, Huang Qiong wouldn't have been the last person to know. Therefore, it is considered appropriate for his comrade to block the gun at this time. Until the anger in his heart is completely poured out. Huang Qiongcai took several books from the hands of the timid Gao Huaiyuan. When he opened it, he saw that he was even more angry for no reason. This is the result of Nanzhen Fusi's investigation into the woman who is the eldest son. What is written above is not as clear as what the eldest son himself said just a moment ago.
The book said that the woman's surname was Yang. He lost his mother and father when he was young and was raised by his grandfather. My grandfather passed away two years ago. I make a living by renting out a few houses left by my grandfather and going out to the city to collect herbs on weekdays. As for what happened next, it was the same as what his eldest son said. The eldest son was seriously ill, and several famous doctors were consulted, but nothing could be done. It was this woman who saved his life by going up the mountain to collect medicine. The only thing that said more than the eldest son himself was that this woman's medical skills were quite good and she was known as a little miracle doctor in the surrounding area.
Moreover, she was well-read in poetry and books. Someone once commented that if she were not a woman, she would have taken the imperial examination. Even if you can't reach the top spot, at least you can't escape the top three. Although he is not very old, he is very prestigious among the surrounding neighbors. Not only was a small school established at home. He teaches reading to children who cannot afford to study in the surrounding areas, and often diagnoses and treats diseases for surrounding neighbors for free. Moreover, she would always mediate any disputes between families in the surrounding area. And despite her young age, her mediation was convinced by those around her.
After closing the brochure, Huang Qiong looked at Gao Huaiyuan with a sneer: "According to what you said in the brochure, this woman is a good wife and mother. She will also be my good daughter-in-law and the good sister-in-law of all the princes and princesses in the future. Yes? If I don't agree to this marriage, it will be a huge mistake, and it will be like beating a mandarin duck? I asked you to check, and you will give me such a thing? As for her background, you will check it for me. Such nonsense comes out. If you are allowed to copy that bastard, why would I ask you to investigate?
"The book you gave me is telling me how incompetent you are? Or is it mocking me, the emperor, for expelling you, the idiot-like commander-in-chief, and your bunch of pigs? Subordinates are even more incompetent? Gao Huaiyuan, are you thinking that helping that bastard in this matter will be beneficial to you both publicly and privately. Therefore, there is a way to help hide it in front of you, Now you are fooling me again? Do you think you are deceived by eating too much pork, or do you really think that I am that easy to fool?"
Huang Qiong's words made Gao Huaiyuan break into a cold sweat. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "In reply to Your Majesty, although I did have some small thoughts at first. I always thought that I and the eldest son of the emperor are cousins, and it is not a big deal for a prince to take a concubine before his wedding. Help hide it. For a moment, it is also a show of goodwill to the eldest son of the emperor. At least from now on, don’t resent me for not helping, so as not to cause trouble to me in the future. So I agreed to help the eldest son of the emperor conceal it. I am your Majesty’s minister, and I will never dare to have any trouble. Heartfelt.”
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Although Nanzhen Fusi has some power, it is also quite taboo among civil and military officials. But the only ones who have no choice are those princes. It's just an ordinary clan, but if those princes want to go to Nanzhen Fusi Don't be too relaxed about Si's troubles. Although the emperor's eldest son is gentle in nature, he is not a small-minded person. But it is better to have less trouble. Besides, this matter is really not a big deal. The prince's marriage is not a big deal. I asked His Majesty to arrange the marriage. Now, she is just a concubine."
"Don't talk about the princes in this dynasty, there are not a few who become fathers at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Even in noble families, there are also a lot of people who take concubines before marrying at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Although I have been strictly controlled by my mother since I was a child, , but when I was fifteen years old, my mother also carefully selected two girls from her side and gave them to me as a reward. However, I thought at the time that it was my mother's test for me, so I didn't dare to touch those two. Women. Of my younger brothers, the eldest son was born when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. Therefore, I really didn’t take it seriously.”
"But after His Majesty issued an imperial edict, asking me to investigate the background of that woman, how dare I do anything about it? It's just that things are somewhat rushed, plus what happened more than ten years ago, it is difficult to find out in a short time. The people in Nanzhen Fusi in Chengdu were worried that if the investigation took too long, His Majesty would be anxious. Therefore, they reported what they had discovered in advance. As for what happened next, when I received this booklet , they have divided their forces into two groups, one went to Hanzhong, and the other stayed in Chengdu to continue the investigation."
In response to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, Huang Qiong held the discount in his hand, waved his hand with some irritation in his heart and said: "Forget it, tell your subordinates that this matter is over, there is no need for them to investigate anymore. Just like you As he said, after more than ten years of concealment, how can it be found out in a few days? That bastard is now very devoted to that woman. He would rather give up everything than give up this woman. As a father, What can I do? If I were just a concubine, how could I get so angry?"
"I still know the temperament of my eldest son. Now that I have identified this woman, no matter who I propose to him to marry, I am afraid that this bastard will not agree in the end. If pressed, he can escape from the marriage for me. Something happened. As the saying goes, a person without desires is strong. He is willing to give up everything for that woman, what else can't he do? "
