Wang Yanqi walked over and helped Mr. Wang sit down.
When he heard his father mention Hunjun, he thought of what Hunjun did during the day.
He said: "Father, it's better not to worry about him. My son seems to be doing very well. There's no need for you to worry about him. It's father -"
Wang Yanqi paused, "That's what worries my son the most."
Seeing that he looked strange, Taifu Wang asked, "How was this trip to the palace?"
Wang Yanqi took the tea from the maid's hand, took a sip and put it down.
He kept silent and did not answer Taifu Wang's words.
He knew his son better than his father, but when he saw that he didn't answer, Taifu Wang still couldn't figure it out.
"Three years ago, when His Majesty ascended the throne, I asked you to study abroad without giving you any money.
On the one hand, I want you not to have contact with the deposed prince, and on the other hand, I want you to gain knowledge during your study tour that you cannot learn from the Langya Wang family or the academy. "
Taifu Wang's eyes were as bright as a torch and he said, "Do you have something in your heart now?"
Wang Yanqi nodded.
"In the past three years, my son has traveled to various states and counties and seen with his own eyes the suffering of the people. They have no food to eat, no food to satisfy their hunger, and no money to send their children to school."
"But wealthy families wear gold and silver, and have endless food. There are even wealthy families who use their power to bully others and humiliate the people, but the people have nowhere to redress their grievances."
"If you want to put it in one sentence, it means that the bones of Zhumen are frozen to death by the smell of wine and meat."
Taifu Wang asked again: "Then who do you think is responsible for causing this scene?"
"Of course it is Your Majesty." Wang Yanqi answered directly without thinking about this question.
If your Majesty could listen to what others say, how could he possibly make the people's lives miserable?
Wang Yanqi was depressed and didn't understand at all why his father had to support the emperor to the throne three years ago.
Obviously the prince is the orthodox one.
The prince is the legitimate son of the late emperor, and he is also the crown prince established by the late emperor. Since ancient times, the succession of the prince to the throne has been orthodox.
Looking at Sanlang's expression, Wang Taifu knew what he was thinking.
Taifu Wang coughed and said, "Have you ever thought about it? Your Majesty is just one person. Without the inaction of the ministers below, how could this situation have happened?"
"This..." Wang Yanqi was immediately stopped by these words.
He shook his head, he really hadn't thought about it.
"I know that you have always been prejudiced against His Majesty, and feel that His Majesty's ascension to the throne is not in the right place.
Don't forget that His Majesty is the eldest son of the late emperor. Compared with the deposed prince, he is the most qualified. "
Wang Yanqi frowned.
He said: "But father, your Majesty has no mercy and regards human life as an ant. He cannot be a benevolent king at all. In time, the Chen Kingdom will be destroyed."
"The prince has a heart of benevolence and righteousness. If he is allowed to—"
"Shut up!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Taifu raised his hand and slapped Wang Yanqi unexpectedly.
The slap was crisp, and there was a big slap mark as soon as it landed.
It can be seen that Taifu Wang used so much force.
"Father!" Wang Yanqi opened his eyes and looked at his father in disbelief. He just said one sentence.
"You are not allowed to say this again, ahem -" Taifu Wang lowered his face and glared at him.
"yes."
Wang Yanqi saw that his father was so angry that he started to cough again. He immediately stepped forward to calm down and personally handed over a glass of water.
"Father, please drink some water to calm down your anger first. The doctor said you should try not to get angry as much as possible."
Taifu Wang took a sip and put the quilt on the low stool, "If you don't want to make me angry, don't say such things again."
"Yes, yes, my son won't say anything anymore."
Although he said this, Wang Yanqi still didn't understand the reason why his father chose His Majesty.
"Father, all the heads of our Langya Wang family have not participated in government affairs. They have only been the crown prince and tutor. Obviously the crown prince——"
With that said, Wang Yanqi glanced at his father and said, "But why did you choose Hunjun?"
This question has been circling in his mind for three years.
During the study tour, after seeing the lives of the people, I didn't understand it even more.
"Why?"
Taifu Wang's face darkened, "Because your Majesty is ambitious and capable of suppressing the family.
But it's not possible to depose the prince. The deposed prince is gentle, honest and soft-eared. He does whatever others say and can easily be manipulated by the court family.
If he ascends the throne, it is not impossible for someone who is interested to mistake a deer for a horse. "
"Now that many aristocratic families are rising in the Chen Kingdom, if the aristocratic families are not suppressed, then His Majesty will not have the right to speak in the court. The court will be the sole voice of the aristocratic families, and the people will only suffer more."
This is why Taifu Wang originally chose His Majesty who was still growing up in the abandoned palace.
At that time, His Majesty was illiterate, his eyes were clear and intelligent, and his ambition was clearly displayed on his face.
Taifu Wang still remembered that he had asked His Majesty something.
"As an emperor, is it better to be a benevolent king who defends the city, or is it better to be a king who listens and rules by doing nothing?"
His Majesty's answer at that time was, "I would like to be a foolish king who suppresses aristocratic families."
He was obviously from a noble family, but he didn't expect to choose a prince who wanted to suppress the noble family to ascend the throne.
Taifu Wang smiled inwardly.
"Yan Qi, you said he couldn't be a benevolent king, but you gave him this benevolent king. Maybe he never thought about being a benevolent king.
If the Hunjun is as good as the Hunjun, it is impossible for him to become the second Emperor Wen. "
Taifu Wang seemed a little tired. He closed his eyes and waved his hand.
"There is only one word difference between a faint king and a benevolent king. Who can say for sure that the faint king will not let Chen Guo reach its peak again?"
"Unfaithful Lord, benevolent Lord..." Wang Yanqi was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.
He stood up and said, "My son has been taught."
Wang Yanqi, who wanted to understand, entered the palace again early the next morning.
Chen Jue was stunned for a moment when he heard that Wang Yanqi was meeting outside the palace.
"Osanlang-kun, what's wrong with your face?"
Seeing a slap mark on Wang Yanqi's right face, Chen Jue thought to himself: Could it be that Wang Yanqi was beaten by Mrs. Wang last night?
Otherwise, no one would dare to hit Mr. Wang Sanlang!
Mr. Wang Sanlang touched the right side of his face, feeling somewhat shocked for no reason.
"Your Majesty is dissatisfied, Cao Min was beaten by his father last night."
It is strange that Mr. Wang Sanlang was beaten by Mr. Wang.
Liu Zhong, who was present, couldn't help but look up.
Good guy, Taifu Wang is very powerful. This slap mark is still there to this day. He must have used it very hard.
It can be seen that Taifu Wang is still very good now?
"Hahahahahaha——" Chen Jue suddenly laughed.
Although he had guessed what was going on, he still couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wang Yanqi say it with his own ears.
Wang Yanqi: "..."
Your Majesty, this is not funny at all!
"Your Majesty, the common people were reckless yesterday and forced their own ideas on Your Majesty, hoping to make Your Majesty a benevolent king.
However, as a family grows bigger, if you become a benevolent king, you will surely be manipulated by the family. If your Majesty wants to be a cowardly king and suppress the family, the common people will be willing to assist you. "
After saying this, Wang Yanqi lifted up his robe, knelt on the ground and saluted the young emperor.
