After hearing Jin Miaomiao's words, Shen Cha's expression became even more sarcastic.
"Isn't what Emperor Jiaren did exactly the same as the comment you saw? An extremely selfish and self-interested person, before doing anything, he focuses on his own gain. The most important thing is that he has This idea of mine is not concealed at all, otherwise, how could a child who has not been in contact with him for a long time, is not old, and has not much experience, be able to see his true nature?"
"Not ashamed, but proud?"
"It's not to this extent." Shen Haolin shook his head gently. "He holds the power of life and death. He doesn't have to care about the opinions of others. If he makes too much noise, he can naturally scare the monkeys and give a warning to those who are causing trouble."
"Brother is right. The situation in the previous dynasty was in such chaos. Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong, as well as the ministers who supported them, tried their best to turn the tide, but they could not save the defeat of the previous dynasty. It was because of Emperor Chongde's father. The emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandfather are all too willful, if they could restrain themselves a little, they wouldn't be defeated so quickly."
"What you said is all right, and in fact it is indeed the case. However, I still can't figure out why a selfish person like Emperor Jiaren would suddenly prepare such a grand and complicated ceremony for Prince Tong? "Jin Miaomiao touched his chin, "It's completely inconsistent with his past style. Even if he knew that this child had an unusual background and was very useful for him to contain his son, he wouldn't put so much effort into it, right?"
"It's definitely not out of his original intention. It should be what Emperor Chongde strongly requested. I have read some files and it is said that he has withstood a lot of opposition and believes that he is just an adopted son and there is no need to mobilize so many troops." Shen Haolin He raised an eyebrow and said, "Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde have a weak relationship as father and son. They don't have any feelings and don't trust each other. Prince Tong...oh, this ceremony is actually the result of their competition with each other. To be honest, for them, , this is a sure-fire deal, and both of them are winners."
"For them, it is indeed like this." Seeing Jin Miaomiao's doubts, Shen Cha explained, "Emperor Jiaren wants to use this ceremony to buy Emperor Chongde's life. Oh, not only Emperor Chongde, but also Emperor Chongde. Prince Tong's life has completely tied the two of them to the court, unable to escape for the rest of their lives, working hard for the previous court without complaint."
"His goal was achieved." Jin Miaomiao shrugged, "They did very well. If they were not the sons of Emperor Jiaren, but the sons of any emperor in the middle of the previous dynasty, they could have achieved ZTE."
"You're right, they were born at the wrong time. Emperor Chongde made this deal with his father and decided to hold this ceremony, not only to make Prince Tong's name right, but also to avoid future worries."
"Worries for the future?" Jin Miaomiao was stunned, "You mean, the grander the ceremony, the more it proves that Emperor Jiaren attaches more importance to King Tong, and no one will attack him casually, and no one will use King Tong to target Chongde. emperor?"
"That's right, because from Emperor Chongde's point of view, it doesn't actually matter whether he is targeted or not. Anyway, from the day he was born, he was destined to become the target of everyone's envy, jealousy, resentment, and quick elimination. But His Xiao Heng is not, but because he has known him and become an inseparable relative with him, he is unwilling to suffer the same treatment."
"This is..." Jin Miaomiao frowned slightly, "The ceremony is to tell the world that it is okay to touch him, but it is absolutely not allowed to touch his Xiao Heng, but it is absolutely not allowed to let his Xiao Heng get hurt, right?"
"That's right."
"These two people..." Jin Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, "They both think about each other. They both want to protect each other and bear any harm for each other."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, revealing a meaningful smile.
How could Shen Haolin and Shen Cha not know what Jin Miaomiao was thinking? The two of them looked at each other. They didn't need to envy Emperor Chongde, King Tong, or anyone else. They had found their own destination. .
"Now that I have said it again, Emperor Chongde's thoughts were clearly revealed during such a grand ceremony. Why, after several decades, would anyone think that the two of them are incompatible?" Jin Miaomiao asked. He looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha in confusion, "They are those guys who jump around and stir up trouble. Don't you know this exists?"
"There may be many factors. I don't know about this. The concubines who protected Prince Tong passed away, and..." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Some...a large part of the people think that they are too old. , you will have your own ideas, and the childhood friendship will be worn away by reality until nothing is left."
"A bunch of idiots!" Shen Cha snorted, "If their relationship deteriorated so easily, how could they have supported each other in the palace all those years? Forget it, let's not talk about those idiots. Let's continue. Tell the story before and after the recognition ceremony."
"Speaking of which, those concubines are also very interesting. Their reaction was completely beyond Emperor Chongde's expectation. If..." Jin Miaomiao took a sip of tea and continued to lie on the table, "if he knew that the concubines were His Xiao Heng treats her as his own child, and is more attentive than himself, so I'm afraid he won't bother with this, right?"
"I don't know about that, but Emperor Chongde's reaction to this is also very interesting." Shen Cha looked at the paper spread out on the table, "Prince Tong described it as being at a loss. He even joked about it in his diary Emperor Chongde said a few words, saying that it was the first time he saw his little friend showing such an expression. He was panicked and at a loss. He didn't know what to do. In the end, he could only abandon himself to the concubines in the harem who were overflowing with motherly love. , a man fled alone."
"Escape?" Jin Miaomiao covered her mouth and snickered, "It's rare that he actually left his heart and soul to a group of terrible women and ran away." She looked at Shen Cha, "Suddenly he felt a little cute?"
"From the description of these words, it can be seen that Prince Tong was in a very good mood at that time. Not only at that time, but also in the next month, although the preparation process for the ceremony was very troublesome and there were many processes to go through, he and Emperor Chongde were both I’m very happy, every diary entry is very relaxed, enjoyable, and even has some funny descriptions.”
"The two of them are a perfect match. When they meet together, they can make each other happy." Jin Miaomiao sighed softly, "Although there are only a few words in Emperor Chongde's diary, it does not have the irritability of the previous years. The gloom in his heart has been swept away by the appearance of King Tong."
"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "With regard to Emperor Jiaren's adoption of a son, there is no one in the court who objects to it, such as some veteran ministers who claim to be highly virtuous and respected, and some officials who consider themselves to be critics, such as There are some people with evil intentions who want to fish in troubled waters, but they have one common characteristic, that is, they do not understand Emperor Jiaren, and they want to influence Emperor Jiaren's decision by relying on his old age, preferring death over surrender, and using coercion and inducement. Of course, they all failed."
"Coercion and inducement?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "What does this mean? Are you talking about those guys with evil intentions? Who are they? I don't think anyone can coerce or induce Emperor Jiaren."
"The biological mother of Emperor Jiaren, the pampered Queen Mother."
""Isn't Emperor Chongde her grandson?
"That's right, but this old man regards Emperor Chongde, her own grandson, as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and always wants to pull him down from his position as crown prince. And this old lady is also a thorn in the side of Emperor Chongde and Tong Tong. After Wang joined forces, the first... well, opponent he faced."
