After saying that, he grabbed the ground with his head: "My father gave birth to me and raised me. How dare I have two minds? If so, I am not a human being!"
Ah this?
Even though he had been the emperor for decades, he was also shocked by the answer given by King Wu.
You fucking violated the ancestral rules and risked losing your head by leaving the capital just to visit your woman and children? ? ?
Just for this reason, do you believe it? ? ?
The emperor laughed in anger.
Princess Wu was inconvenient to speak, and the kings did not dare to speak.
Only the Lord of Chengning County observed the words and asked on behalf of the emperor: "Uncle Wu Wang, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense in front of the emperor? Isn't it ridiculous to take such a big risk to leave the capital for an outlaw and a child?!"
She cupped her hands to Princess Wu and said, "My aunt is a virtuous person, and she is not a jealous and intolerant person. As far as I know, there are several concubines in Uncle Wang's house. Since you are so worried about the foreign wife, why don't you remember that?" If you are pregnant with your own son, why don't you take him into the palace to support him and kill two birds with one stone? But you have to risk the disapproval of the world and secretly leave the capital..."
King Wu was speechless for a moment.
What should he say?
He couldn't let his beloved woman enter the house as a concubine and be a low-status concubine beside him, let alone let her become a thorn in Ning's side and a thorn in the flesh of the rest of the house.
But if he responded to the emperor openly and gave his beloved the title of concubine—it would not be worthy of her, but it would also dissatisfy the Ning family and the Dingguo government behind the Ning family...
Should he say it or not, he just hates the Ning family, but he doesn't hate her mother's family, which is extremely wealthy.
How is it possible to feed grass to other horses in front of the horses when you want them to run?
He was speechless and could only forcefully explain: "That woman was from a humble background. Even if she gave birth to my eldest son, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get a high position. It's just because she saved my life, and I really don't want to treat her poorly." For her..."
Chengning County Lord raised his eyebrows without revealing any trace.
This Uncle Wang is so innocent and innocent.
Chunlang got it right again.
…
"I know Lao Deng's thoughts very well!"
Liu Che proudly told the guys in the space a few things about Lao Deng's psychology: "Old Deng can't understand that some people value women and children higher than power and position. If someone tells him , I would step on his inverse scale for the sake of women and children, and he would only have one reaction in his heart - Damn it, you dare to lie to me when you are about to die!"
"Because for him, power is a unique taboo, a rare treasure that cannot be touched by anyone and can only be enjoyed by him. Whether it is a woman or a child, as long as power is in his hands, Both of these are leeks, if you cut off one stubble, there will be another stubble.”
"This is his innate and established concept, and no one can change it. He is the emperor, and he is the only one who PUAs the rest of the people. The rest of the people cannot try to PUA him, otherwise..."
He shrugged.
If you try to defeat him mentally, he will definitely defeat you physically.
"Speaking of which, others don't understand, but Lao Zhu should understand!"
Liu Che gave another example: "The ideal life that Lao Zhu yearns for most is his wife and children on the hot bed. The wife is the wife named Ma, the child is the child named Zhu Biao, and everything else is... Whether it is concubines, children, or close relatives, they are all collectively referred to as "hot Kangtou". They are pure products of power. As long as he has power, he can copy dozens of them at will - how can he be expected to feel sorry for these? The leeks will grow right away after cutting them!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement: "That's true."
Liu Che continued: "Also, why is Lao Deng so difficult to deal with? Because he sincerely believes that he is the center of the world, and everyone in the world must revolve around him. And the most terrible thing is that he has not yet stupid!"
"Isn't it arrogant enough? But he has the capital to be arrogant, and this is not his own self-deception, he really thinks so!"
"Look at the backyards of those princes. They are just concubines. Which one of the concubines is not from a wealthy family? When people give birth to daughters, do they just want their daughters to be concubines? Even if there are two who have a bad background, He also relied on his offspring to fight his way out of the siege."
"For Lao Deng, it doesn't matter that you are the daughter of a high official in the imperial court. Being my son's concubine is a compliment and I am rewarding you. If you don't kowtow to thank me, then go home and start your business. An ancestral hall to worship ancestors?"
"So, he doesn't think that this woman is my son's savior, so my son said that he can't let her be his concubine, which is too unfair to her. Oh my god, my son really repays his kindness. This girl is really wronged. ——”
"He only has one thought in his mind: Is my son a fool? Or is he fooling me into thinking I'm a fool? The fact that this woman can save my son is a blessing from her previous life!"
"What, you gave birth to a child for my son? Go and see if their ancestral graves are smoking?"
"This child will be a prince at worst in the future. If he hadn't met my son, how many years would you, the untouchables, have to work hard to become a prince? Go to the temple to thank the Buddha! "
The emperors in the space listened to him in silence, speechless for a moment.
Finally, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Liu Che, is this Lao Deng you are talking about yourself?"
Liu Che: "..."
The smile froze instantly.
…
In Nansong Pavilion, the emperor's expression was a little subtle.
He looked at King Wu intently for a while, and then smiled.
King Wu seemed to finally see a glimmer of light, his eyes begged, and he whispered: "Father..."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, nodded in agreement, and then turned his face and ordered those around him: "Take this lying beast out and beat him to death!"
King Wu suddenly changed his color: "Father, son——"
The left and right people reacted very quickly. Before King Wu could finish his words, they blocked his mouth. One person held him up and dragged him out.
First it was King Xin, and then King Wu. Two brothers were lost one after another. How could the kings not be afraid of them?
Since entering the palace, they have been kneeling on the ground. It lasted for a long time, and their legs were numb and their waists were sore. However, at this juncture, who would dare to show discomfort easily?
The emperor remained silent, and Dingguo's father and daughter did not dare to speak rashly.
On the other hand, Cheng Ning County Lord advised softly: "Uncle Wu is rebellious and despises your Majesty. This is his fault. You must not use his mistakes to punish yourself, and you must take care of yourself. Grandpa, don't you I am not only the father of all kings, but also the father of thousands of people. I can't live without you even though I am thousands of miles away."
Seeing that the emperor's face turned slightly bright, Cheng Ning County Lord took a few steps forward and held his arm affectionately: "You have always been busy with government affairs. All the kings were taught by the Taifu and the concubines. King Wu They are unworthy and have neglected their duties. Why do you have to suffer so much? Not to mention, you have so many filial sons..."
After speaking, he signaled the kings with his eyes.
Only then did the emperor say: "Everyone, get up."
The kings responded, feeling very grateful to the Lord of Chengning County.
The emperor said calmly: "You have always been able to sell well."
Chengning County Lord chuckled: "Grandpa said so, I am going to climb up the pole. Uncle Wang has prepared Christmas things for you. Do you want to continue?"
As soon as these words were said, the kings were so grateful!
The previous one was led by King Xin. They just followed it, but in fact they didn’t know anything!
Don't do it now, it seems like you have lost your filial piety to the old father, but if you continue to do it - what the hell will you do if you step on thunder! ! !
At this time, hearing County Master Chengning point out their difficulties, how could one not be grateful?
The emperor smiled, and the look in his eyes was a little cold: "Do it! Am I not going to live to celebrate my birthday this year?"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, the kings immediately knelt down.
The Lord of Chengning County, however, shook the emperor's arm coquettishly like he did when he was a child: "They say you are an old and a young child, how come you still have such a childish temper? Long live the Emperor, I don’t know how many birthdays you will celebrate in the future!”
He then said in a more serious tone: "When my father passed away, the one I cared about the most was you. Grandpa took care of us three siblings and our mother. Who would take care of you, grandpa? Mother said, you still have such a problem. With so many children and grandchildren, my father will feel at ease."
Speaking of sad things, her eyes turned red: "When my father was here, he was friendly with all the royal uncles. If the uncles had any problems, it was often his father who came forward to intercede. Now that my father has passed away, my granddaughter is brave enough to stand up for him today." Talk to the uncles, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with his own differences. Don’t be angry with the unfilial sons, just look at these filial sons."
When the emperor heard this, he burst into tears. He glanced at his quail-like sons beside him and felt a bit of fatherly feeling: "I have been doing all this life for you evildoers!"
All the kings also shed tears, some cried for their eldest brother who died early, some felt sorry for their father, and even the palace maids who served him also began to cry.
In the end, it was Cheng Ning County Lord who pulled the strings, and everyone had lunch together in the palace. They feasted and had fun for a long time before finally dispersing.
Although Princess Wu was injured, she was not disappointed. She held on until she was done, and then she slowly walked out of the hall with the support of County Master Cheng Ning.
It was time for Dingguo Gong to go to the government office. She would have to go back to her parents' home later to inform her family about the surprise. Although she was injured, she and her mother's family were able to hide completely. After this disaster, I am thankful to God.
After leaving the Nangong Gate, the commander of the Imperial Army came forward to greet him: "The few servants and maids we took away earlier can now be returned to Princess Wu..."
Someone else escorted several maidservants who were mutilated with blood and flesh. The most serious ones were almost in human form.
These are the people who have grown up with her since childhood...
Princess Wu's hands and feet were cold and her lips trembled a few times. She tried not to show any signs of abnormality. She took a quick look and asked again: "It seems that there are two missing..."
The commander of the forbidden army said: "I can't bear the punishment, I'm dead."
A chill mixed with resentment suddenly surged into her heart, and Princess Wu almost had an attack on the spot!
The next moment, he felt that the hand holding him by Cheng Ning County Master was suddenly strong, and his nails were almost embedded in his flesh.
She suddenly came back to her senses and forced herself to smile: "General, thank you for your hard work."
The commander of the forbidden army said: "It's just my duty." After saying that, he got out of the way.
Princess Wu asked County Master Cheng Ning to help her move forward slowly, but the sourness in her nose became stronger and her eyes were even hotter, as if there was some liquid that wanted to burst out of her eyes.
Only when he was far away and out of the palace gate did he say, "No wonder."
County Lord Chengning looked over inquiringly.
Tears rolled down from Princess Wu's eyes: "No wonder, everyone wants to be the emperor..."
Chapter 86
Chengning County Lord took the veil and wiped her tears gently: "It doesn't matter if you cry, but if you don't shed a single tear, wouldn't you become a cold-hearted iron man?"
He added: "Just don't cry for too long. If the emperor knows about it, he will think that my aunt is resenting him because of a few slaves."
Princess Wu's tears fell on the back of her hand, and Chengning County Lord felt that the hot and humid temperature quickly turned cold.
Then I saw Princess Wu laughing again, her eyelashes slightly lowered, and her expression was full of mockery: "You are a knife and I am a fish. Whoever wants to can just lie down on the chopping board and wait to be cut off!"
The resentment only lasted for a moment, and Princess Wu quickly regained her composure: "I am outside at this time, so it is not easy to pay a grand ceremony with the county master, but I will never forget your kindness to me and my family today! "
The Lord of Chengning County smiled faintly, but did not answer the question. Instead, he said: "The common man Wu was killed by the Emperor's decree, and his title no longer exists. From now on, the Lady must think twice about how to act." .”
Princess Wu was slightly startled when she heard this, then her face became clear and she thanked the Lord of Chengning County again.
…
When Princess Wu got married, the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion naturally got her concubine. Princess Wu left the city yesterday and didn't come back all night. The concubine started to murmur in her heart and hurriedly went to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion to deliver a message.
When he was young, Duke Dingguo once served as the emperor's companion. After decades of service, he did not make any mistakes. He was also able to ask the emperor to marry a sister and three daughters to his house. You can imagine what kind of person he is.
After hearing the companion briefly explain the whole story, Duke Dingguo had a vague feeling of ominousness in his heart. Just because he knew the emperor well, he did not rush to send anyone to get involved. He told his family to stay safe and his wife Don't panic, just go to the official office as usual.
