In August, when the weather gets cooler, Du Fengju's favorite place to stay is Chengxin Pavilion.
Leaning on the railing to admire the lake and leaning on the pavilion to welcome the breeze, this can indeed clear his mind.
Besides...
He would always think of His Highness crying in his arms that day.
That was the first time His Highness showed such vulnerability and helplessness in front of him.
It was also the first time he hugged a girl uncontrollably.
That girl is still His Highness Chang Ding whom I love the most today.
But right now, in the same place, at about the same time, he didn't have any charming thoughts in his heart.
His father, the Imperial Tutor, was looking at him thoughtfully.
"Father, what's the matter?" He didn't know why his father came to Chengxin Pavilion, but he obviously had something to say to him.
Du Tong stroked his beard and asked, "Did you touch that token?"
"...Yes." Du Fengju replied, there was nothing to hide.
Besides, when he used Pei Yanshan and Wei Yan, he never hid it from his father.
"Is it for the sake of His Highness Chang Ding? Is it your fault that the third prince was deprived of his title and imprisoned on Shannan Road?" Du Tong asked again.
Without waiting for Du Fengju's reply, he shook his head and said, "It's probably not you. Your time in Jingzhao was too short and it was too late."
Du Fengju raised the corners of his lips and continued to nod: "Yes, it's not me."
The third prince's ending has nothing to do with him.
He even gave the Third Prince a hand, otherwise, it wouldn't just be the confinement in Shannan Road.
Seeing that his father just asked about the token and then asked no more questions, Du Fengju knew that he cared about something else.
"It's not me, father, whose handiwork do you think it is?" Du Fengju asked.
Du Tong looked at Chengxin Lake, was silent for a while, and then said: "It's either the prince or the second prince. I heard that the prince was summoned by the emperor to the Zichen Palace overnight, then he is the prince."
Du Fengju smiled slightly and answered.
My father was the Imperial Tutor, so he certainly had an accurate grasp of the imperial situation, and he could see more things under the water.
Moreover, the matter of the third prince is not that complicated. There are only a few adult princes in the country. It can be calculated who will benefit from the third prince falling to such an end.
The difference is that other officials may still be guessing whether he is the second prince or the prince, but his father is sure that he is the prince.
This difference is what Taifu sees.
But what should my father do when he asks about this matter?
The matter was settled, and my father, as the Tutor, could not change anything.
The most important thing is that the emperor does not like his father's interference in the affairs of the court.
Du Tong glanced at Du Fengju and said, "Although this is not your handiwork, you should have pushed it by using the token."
The prince's position was stable and his actions were meticulous. If something hadn't happened unexpectedly, he would definitely not have taken action against the third prince.
After all, a prince who cannot tolerate siblings has a bad reputation. .z.br>
The prince and the Xue family definitely don't want to leave this flaw behind, but they just have no choice but to do anything about it.
Du Fengju did not deny this: "The prince is hiding behind the scenes. The person he really wants to deal with is His Highness Changding, and he still uses Deng Wuyou."
Hearing the words "Deng Wuyou", Du Tong's eyes changed, and his tone was disgusted: "There is still this thing in the inner treasury."
Du Fengju was well aware of his father's aversion to this thing, so he replied: "Father, there are less than three plants, which is okay. No one will dare to use it again in the future."
This thing is poison, but because it is too precious, its use is restricted. In addition, due to the incident involving the third prince, no one dares to use it.
Unless it is used by the emperor himself...it is not like the emperor has never used it before.
Du Fengju shook off the trace of hatred in his mind and asked: "Father, what does the prince... want to do? The third prince, His Highness Chang Ding, why should you worry about the status of the prince?"
The prince has been hiding behind his back to deal with the elder
His Highness Ding, people who don’t know may think that His Highness Chang Ding can threaten and influence the Crown Prince.
Could it be that the prince is interested in the Jiang family's wealth?
Once the prince ascends the throne and the world is in his hands, what does the wealth of the Jiang family's richest man mean?
Du Tong looked at Chengxin Lake from a distance and said with half-squinted eyes: "The prince did this not to deal with the third prince and His Highness Chang Ding, but to prepare for the throne and gain experience as an emperor."
"Emperor's experience?" Du Feng was confused, what does this mean?
Du Tong's eyes fell from the lake to the ancient trees on the side, and he nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor's experience. The prince's position is stable, and precisely because it is too stable, there is no crisis. Without prior experience, once he ascends to the emperor, there will be no Enough ability to control the country."
Nowadays, the country seems to be in peace, but there are enemies intruding outside the northern border, there are half-hearted soldiers in the army, and the people... the people are suffering from poverty. These are all worries that make the country unstable.
If an emperor does not have enough experience and ability, he will not be able to solve these worries, and the country will have major problems sooner or later.
As a tutor, Du Tong saw these things clearly and could also understand what Emperor Yongning and the prince were doing.
but……
Du Fengju retorted: "In this case, the prince should go to northern Xinjiang for experience, he should understand the people's sentiments, and live in the palace to deal with his brothers and sisters... What kind of experience is this?"
The emperor and the prince acted like this. Could it be that they were confused?
Du Tong knew why his youngest son suddenly became excited, and said calmly: "This is also one of the experiences. Start from top to bottom and clear away possible obstacles, then everything will be much easier."
"Ha." Du Fengju sneered coldly, unable to hold back the trace of hatred in his heart: "So, the emperor also treated his adoptive father like that out of consideration of this experience?"
Du Tong pressed his temple with one hand, his face showing fatigue: "The emperor was not like that at the beginning."
During that time, he happened to be away from Jingzhao, and he didn't know exactly what happened.
But he was a tutor and had taught the emperor before, so he knew clearly that the emperor did not think that way at the beginning.
The emperor only changed after he ascended the throne. This imperial experience was only for the prince...
Du Fengju calmed down and said sarcastically, "His Royal Highness Chang Ding and the third prince are really unfortunate. Isn't the prince's sword sharp enough? Does it need so many whetstones?"
The third prince is useless as a whetstone. Next, it will be either His Highness Chang Ding or the second prince...
He found it very ridiculous. Although he had always known that the royal family had no family ties, the way he acted like this really amazed him.
The emperor and the prince are not afraid that things will get out of control?
Du Tong said calmly, "So what if it's out of control? If it's something that even the emperor and the prince can't control, what do you think will happen to the country? Besides, look at the recent events, the Shuzhou mutiny, Wuge, Cheng Yong, in the end it's not all Is it beneficial to the country?"
Du Tong had warned Emperor Yongning a long time ago, but to no avail, and was even rejected and alienated by Emperor Yongning.
He had no choice but to secretly contact some ministers to try to change the emperor, but the emperor remained the same, which made Du Tong, the tutor, worried.
However, what shocked him was that the development of things was completely beyond his expectation. These developments were ultimately beneficial to the country.
This... Mrs. Du didn't know how to deal with it.
But he knew that there was one thing that his youngest son could do.
