Prince Tong didn't even think about his sweetheart confessing to him.
It's not that he sees himself as humble, or that he places his position too low, it's because in his heart, this won't happen at all.
As the emperor of a country, the responsibilities and burdens Emperor Chongde had to bear were simply unimaginable to the people around him. Since he began to contact the government, he had very little time to rest every day. Most of the day was spent in meetings with courtiers and reviewing memorials. Prince Tong saw all this, feeling distressed and helpless.
Therefore, even if the two of them knew each other's thoughts, and even if Miss Zhen tried her best to encourage them to clarify and face their feelings, they did not break through the window.
Although they have never talked about this topic, they have the same idea. It doesn't matter whether this matter is revealed or not. What is important is that this person can stay with him for a long time.
"Emperor Chongde has woken up." Song Qiyun glanced at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha again, "After King Tong was attacked, he understood that things are unpredictable, and no one can say which will come first, tomorrow or the accident. . If he hasn’t revealed his feelings to his sweetheart and his sweetheart leaves him forever due to an accident, then he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life. "
"That's right." Jin Miaomiao also glanced at the two guys who were pretending to be stupid, "In order to prevent yourself from regretting and not letting the other party regret, it is wise to express your true thoughts immediately and decisively. .”
She turned around and exchanged a look with Song Qiyun. As friends and family members, they had done their best to do this. Whether these two people would listen to the advice and face up to their feelings was theirs. Something happened.
"Where is King Tong?" Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow at Song Qiyun, "What did he think?"
"What else could you think? He just agreed. However, he discussed with Emperor Chongde that two people could be close to each other in private, but they still had to keep a certain distance in front of outsiders, especially courtiers. "Song Qiyun shrugged, "Miss Zhen gave the two of them some advice. If they don't want those nosy ministers to see their true relationship, they must not only keep a certain distance, but also put on a show in front of them. , a play that those ministers are most happy to see."
"The emperor and his ministers are at odds." Shen Cha finally woke up from his nap, "If the powerful emperor and the powerful prince are at odds with each other, then the courtiers will have an excuse to be united and oppose each other, and they will have a reason to criticize each other. , they can also find their so-called position in the court, and even..." She paused, a sneer flashed across her face, "They have found a good cover for their dirty work in private."
"That's disgusting." Jin Miaomiao's whole face was filled with disgust, "I remember that Emperor Chongde purged the court a few years after he ascended the throne. It was to no avail?"
"No." Song Qiyun shook his head, "Although the disposal of a batch can serve as a warning to the monkeys, the effect is also very short-lived. The new batch will not last long and will still have the same virtue. Before. As I said, his best approach is to centralize power. Although it is tiring, he can keep his country. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, he missed the best opportunity."
"On the second month after Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong communicated with each other, an urgent report came from the border. Foreigners invaded the border. Although the border troops resisted vigorously, they still could not hold on. Five of the most critical cities fell into At the hands of foreigners. Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong temporarily abandoned the affection between children and the fights in the court, and began to formulate methods to deal with the enemy. They were very active, but unfortunately, the courtiers did not cooperate. "
"There are a lot of peacemakers, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Jin Miaomiao sneered, "It's as expected! When fighting internally, everyone is as if they have been given blood. When it is necessary to deal with the outside world, Like a quail with a short tail, it shrunk its head and said nothing." She thought for a moment, "Let civil servants be like this, but military generals can't be like this, right? Under Emperor Chongde, in addition to Prince Tong, there is another Two generals with outstanding military exploits, they can’t ask for peace, right?”
"Those generals with good strength are already on errands, and they can't spare their time at all." Shen Cha sighed softly, "In the end, there was really no other way. King Tong asked for a fight and personally led the troops to the border. Chongde Although the emperor is reluctant to give up, he has no choice. He cannot just watch the foreign invasion and the border people live under the rough iron cavalry of the foreigners."
"King Tong expressed his position, and those short-tailed quails raised their heads again. This time they were not criticizing Prince Tong, but praising him desperately. Those words of praise were thrown at Prince Tong as if they were free of charge. Prince Tong said , the days before the expedition made him a little dazed, he thought he had gone to the wrong place, or that these courtiers had a different inner core in their bodies."
"Isn't that right? King Tong leads the troops to meet the enemy and stays away from Xijing. This is the best thing for these quails. If he is not in the capital, they can criticize him as much as they want and slander him as much as they want. , anyway, His Majesty is at odds with him. If he loses the battle or makes any mistakes, it will give them an excuse to attack him. King Tong knows very well that what all the ministers in the dynasty are thinking is that if he goes away, thousands of people will be killed. Don’t ever come back, it’s best to die on the battlefield and be wrapped in horse leather.”
"These people are too excessive and vicious!" Jin Miaomiao slammed the table in front of him, "What did Emperor Chongde think?"
"The two of them pretended to know nothing and concentrated on making preparations for the expedition. The night before the army set off, neither of them slept, and they cuddled up to each other until dawn." Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao, " In fact, King Tong was already prepared not to come back. After all, that time, the foreigners came in force, and he did not have complete confidence in driving these bastards out of his home. So, that night, he rambled I talked a lot, told Emperor Chongde everything that was in my heart, and also explained clearly what happened after my death."
"What was Emperor Chongde's reaction?"
"Both of them were very rational and prepared for the worst. The army set out the next day. Emperor Chongde kept his promise to King Tong and did not go to the city gate to see him off in person. Instead, he stood in the former East Palace , praying and blessing her sweetheart from a distance, and the queen, who was indifferent to everything, entered the Buddhist hall from the day Prince Tong left Xijing, and for the next three months, she did not Take a step away from the temple."
"This Miss Zhen is a wonderful person. She looks cold and cool on the surface, but she is actually more emotional than most people." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "So, it took three months to repel the foreigners?"
"Yes, although it didn't last long, the fight was extremely brutal." Shen Cha nodded, "However, after this battle, Prince Tong became famous and got the name of "Ghost Sees Worry". Later, when foreigners heard that "Ghost Sees Sorrow" Then he ran away in a hurry."
"Ghosts are worried? Why?"
"Exchanging one's life for one's life is nothing more than a ghost's sorrow!"
