After Rong Ming got better, Emperor Xuanwu reprimanded with a worried look on his face: "You kid, if you had asked Dean Zhang to diagnose and treat you earlier, why would you be so uncomfortable?"
Looking at Emperor Xuanwu's concerned eyes, Rong Ming's heart moved and he lowered his head guiltily.
Seeing him lowering his eyes and saying nothing, Emperor Xuanwu sighed silently, and spoke sincerely: "I know that you have always been cautious in your words and deeds, for fear of making a wrong step and causing criticism, so you constantly restrain yourself. But you You know, the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop. Being in this position is like facing an abyss. Only by protecting your body and preserving your own strength can you overcome the thorns and thorns."
Emperor Xuanwu's meaningful words made Rong Ming feel warm in his heart. He took a step forward and knelt on the ground, solemnly kowtowed in thanks and said, "My father's sincere teachings have benefited me a lot. I will definitely remember this." I will never let down my father’s wishes!”
Emperor Xuanwu nodded appreciatively and let Lu Yao help Rong Ming up. The loving look in his eyes became more intense and he said kindly, "It's good that you know what I mean." As soon as he finished speaking, a look of sadness passed over his face. , followed by a soft sigh, he then said in a deep voice, "If your royal brothers could be as sensible as you, I wouldn't have such a headache today."
After hearing this, Rong Ming immediately understood what Emperor Xuanwu was referring to. Seeing the worried look on his father's face, he couldn't help but have the idea of solving his problems, and hurriedly asked: "Is your father worried about your seventh brother? My son, my father." I heard that my father intended to give the seventh brother an official position a few years ago, but he was rejected by the seventh brother. The seventh brother... is a little confused. He has been back for many years and has turned a deaf ear to the affairs of the court. He only concentrates on martial arts and piano music. I also had long talks with him several times, but he always said that life is too short to enjoy yourself in the moment..."
Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu's face became more and more ugly, Rong Ming stopped talking. With a look of guilt in his eyes, he bowed deeply to Emperor Xuanwu and said with a wry smile: "My son is incompetent."
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Rong Ming's self-blaming look, pinched his frown, shook his head slowly and said, "I know you have good intentions, so how can I blame you?"
After saying that, his expression changed, his eyes suddenly became deep, and there was a hint of helplessness on his face, and he sighed: "Lao Qi has been used to idle clouds and wild cranes in Beiluo Master these years, so he is naturally disturbed by the chaos in the court. I don't blame him for being indifferent. But in the past few years, I don't know how many people have been talking behind his back, saying that he has lost his ambition by playing with things. As a prince, he doesn't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and only knows how to be romantic. Although I don't expect him to become anything great, but he has always been He is also my son, the seventh prince of Beiming. He is obsessed with those irrelevant things all day long. Where can I put this face of mine?"
Emperor Xuanwu frowned, and his words were extremely melancholy, and at the end there was even a hint of gnashing of teeth. At this moment, he was like an ordinary father, looking sad for his unfulfilled son.
Rong Ming was used to seeing his father's majesty in the world in the past, but it was rare to see him showing such a gloomy and helpless look, which made people feel sad. He quickly comforted himself and said: "Seventh brother has been the smartest among our brothers since he was a child. , and with the careful guidance of my father, now... I have probably not gotten married yet, and have not settled down yet. If I have a family in the future, I will definitely understand my father's good intentions and solve my father's problems."
"I hope so." Emperor Xuanwu sighed slightly, his expression gradually softened, and he became a little dazed, as if he was stuck in a certain memory. I only heard him ponder for a moment, and said quietly: "Ming'er, although Lao Qi is a bit of a bastard, has no ambition, and cannot take on any big responsibilities, he is still your imperial brother after all. As the elder brother, you should You should give him more encouragement and help, don't let down the friendship between your mother and Concubine Ling."
Rong Ming was startled when he heard the words, a look of hesitation quickly flashed in his eyes, and then returned to his normal state. He nodded and responded: "What my father said is that I was neglectful in the past, and I will do my best to take care of Qi from now on." Brother, I will never let down my father’s instructions and the friendship between my mother and Concubine Ling.”
Emperor Xuanwu nodded, with some relief on his face. He suddenly thought of something and asked again: "You have reminded me that Lao Qi is now past his prime. When you were as old as him, my The emperor's grandson can already walk. It's indeed time for the seventh child to get married and start a business. Has he ever told you about anyone he likes?"
"Going back to my father, although my seventh brother has never mentioned anyone he likes to his ministers, my seventh brother is as beautiful as a tree and has extraordinary talent and beauty. Looking at Beiming, I am afraid that no one can match him except my father. He must be admired by him. A woman is like a crucian carp crossing a river, even..." Rong Ming paused slightly, glanced at Emperor Xuanwu hesitantly, and then continued, "Prime Minister Feng's only daughter also has a deep love for the seventh brother, but the seventh brother has a deep love for the Feng family. The young lady always avoids me and doesn’t seem to have that intention.”
"Oh?" Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a flash of strange color in his eyes, which was fleeting and impossible to capture.
He shook his head in amusement and sighed helplessly: "The apple of Feng Lanzhi's eye has actually set his sights on an unworthy thing like Lao Qi? It does give him an advantage."
Looking at the intriguing smile on Emperor Xuanwu's face, Rong Ming's heart tightened and he hesitated to say: "Father, he has intentions..."
"Let's not mention this matter for now." Before Rong Ming could finish what he said, he was stopped by Emperor Xuanwu in a deep voice.
He was silent for a moment, and a sharp look suddenly flashed across his eyes. Then he changed the topic and said seriously: "I recently received news that Nie Shu from Nanling wanted to rob the death row a few days ago and is wanted by the whole country in Nanling. I don't know what the prince's intention is. What do you think about this matter?"
When Rong Ming heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, and he asked doubtfully: "Nie Shu? Is your father talking about General Jingwu Nie Shu of Nanling?"
"Yes, it's this person." Emperor Xuanwu nodded and fixed his gaze firmly on Rong Ming's face. The look in his eyes clearly contained some consideration.
Under the almost scrutinizing gaze of Emperor Xuanwu, Rong Ming still looked a little embarrassed, but he had no intention of evading.
He thought seriously for a moment, bowed slightly to Emperor Xuanwu, and replied respectfully: "Reporting to my father, this matter is of great importance. I must have had high opinions long ago. Forgive me for being stupid, I can only talk briefly."
After that, he glanced at Emperor Xuanwu subconsciously. After receiving the encouraging look from Emperor Xuanwu, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Emperor Dehui of Nanling has always been incompetent and cruel since he came to the throne. Unpopular, so Nanling has been in turmoil in recent years. Especially after the floods, there were even small-scale civil uprisings in several places. Although they were eventually suppressed by government soldiers from various places, they still disturbed Nanling. The situation. And the Nie family has guarded the border for Nanling for many years without any regrets, and has been loyal for generations. Why would Nie Shu suddenly go to rob the death row? This is one. Second, Nanling is now in the midst of using troops. Withdrawal of 10,000 To put it bluntly, even if Nie Shu really went astray for a while, Emperor Dehui would still care about the morale of the Nie family's army even if he didn't care about the Nie family's illustrious military exploits for generations. He might not dare to touch the Nie family at this juncture. Therefore, I am foolish. See, I think there’s something fishy about this matter.”
