When Queen Ma saw Zhu Biao rushing towards Anqing, she suddenly felt a headache. She couldn't help but press it with her hands. She sighed: "My son, he is good at everything, but he is too soft-hearted and sometimes too stupid."
Some."
Xiaocui smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not stupid. His Highness is extremely intelligent and kind. He will definitely be a wise king loved by the people in the future."
"Mingjun? How can Mingjun be so easy to be?" Empress Ma didn't even try to hide herself in front of Xiao Cui, she just laughed out loud.
There have been different views on a wise king since ancient times. Most people may think that as long as an emperor is diligent in his duties and able to speak out widely, he can gain the support of officials and people and govern the world well, and he is considered a wise king.
But in Queen Ma's view, if it is so easy to become a wise king, then there would be too many wise kings in history. On the contrary, in Queen Ma's opinion, such people have no potential to be a wise king at all.
Although not all wise kings in history are neither poisonous nor husband-like, most of them are ruthless characters with the pinnacle of wisdom and skills.
Take Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty as an example. In terms of wisdom, tolerance, and cruelty, it can be said that none of them are weak. In terms of wisdom, he was able to decide to launch the palace coup in advance when Li Yuan was still there. This decisive decision was unparalleled.
Speaking of ordinary people, even Du Ruhui, who is known for his good judgment, is beyond comparison. In terms of cruelty, he is unyielding. How can someone who can be cruel to his own brother be an ordinary person? Ordinary people, let alone their closest relatives, even if they are...
You may not be able to attack outsiders. In terms of forbearance, it is even more amazing. When the Turks' 200,000 troops came to the city, they dared to lead six people out of the city and signed the Weishui Alliance with the Turks. Then they worked hard to govern.
Only four years later, the Turks were wiped out.
It can be seen that if you want to be a wise emperor, you must not only have real wisdom and benevolence, but also be able to be ruthless when it is time to strike. If an emperor is only kind and cannot be ruthless when it is time to strike, then this
Not to mention being a wise emperor, sooner or later the emperor will be ignored by his ministers and become a puppet emperor.
All the emperors who have been ignored in history have only two situations. One is that the ministers are too strong, for example, when they meet a tycoon like Cao Cao, the other is that the emperor is too benevolent.
The wages of avarice is death.
People are faced with struggles from the moment they are born. How can we do anything without fighting? Even the emperor needs to fight with his ministers, and he cannot be blindly merciful. Otherwise, if the ministers push their limits, they will sooner or later weaken the emperor.
Xiaocui didn't know what Empress Ma was thinking. She tilted her head and glanced at it, then stopped paying attention.
On the other side, Lao Zhu rushed all the way to Princess Anqing angrily.
Princess Anqing, who was originally writing, was very happy when she heard that her father had arrived. She walked out quickly and prepared to welcome her. As soon as she came out, she saw that her father's face was covered with frost, and she couldn't help but feel nervous, and she quickly became cautious.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
"Hmph!!!" Lao Zhu didn't look good on An Qing. He waved his sleeves and robe without any intention of letting An Qing get up. He walked directly in, sat on the upper seat with a golden sword, and looked at An Qing who was kneeling at the door coldly.
.
Princess Anqing didn't know what was going on, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak nonsense. After a long time, she heard her father's voice, "Do you know Han Du?"
Princess Anqing felt even more uneasy, bit her lip and whispered back: "We know you."
Lao Zhu slapped the table next to him and asked angrily: "Do you know that you are engaged? How can you be so unclearly entangled with him? Do you still know
Do you know the word “honesty”?
Han Du and I are innocent, why don't we know our shame?
Princess Anqing felt very aggrieved, and at the same time, a senseless anger surged into her heart. She couldn't help but retorted: "Since my father feels that my son is shameless, please ask my father to demote my son to a commoner and expel him from the clan."
Lao Zhu was furious when he heard this. If just now he was blaming Princess Anqing for humiliating the royal family by having an unclear entanglement with Han Du, then now he is truly furious. In Lao Zhu's view, he has worked so hard to raise her.
His daughter now dares to talk back to him because of a brat, and even says that he would rather be expelled from the clan. Doesn’t this mean that his daughter doesn’t even want to be her father because of a brat?
Since ancient times, there has never been a son-in-law that his father-in-law likes. What's more, under such circumstances, Anqing still turned to Han Du instead of him as a father. This made Lao Zhu feel mixed with emotions and anger.
Increase exponentially.
With trembling fingers, he pointed at An Qing and said intermittently: "Okay... you two are really good... Han Du didn't even ask for a title for you. I didn't expect you to do the same.
Same, I wouldn’t even become a princess for him.”
Princess Anqing was originally fearful and trembling when facing her father's anger. Suddenly she heard her father say that Han Du would give up even the title of Marquis for him. Suddenly, Princess Anqing was no longer afraid and looked at her neck fearlessly.
With my father.
Lao Zhu looked at An Qing and felt that his daughter was really brave now. She didn't take him as the emperor seriously at all. "Okay, very good. Women are not allowed to stay in college, right? Then don't stay."
I'll beat you to death today." After saying that, he looked around, as if he was looking for someone to take advantage of him.
Lao Zhu's words frightened everyone. The maid Yiyi was shocked, her face turned pale and she quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, no!!!"
"Father, calm down!!!"
As soon as Zhu Biao walked into the palace gate, he heard Princess Anqing's request to be demoted to a commoner. He immediately exclaimed that something was wrong. Zhu Biao knew how strong his father was. Now is the time when his father is angry.
, If you want to have room for maneuver in this matter, you can only outwit, not defeat. Zhu Biao did not expect that An Qing, who has always been smart, would be stupid enough to confront his father on this matter. What do you think?
No, if you anger your father and demote you to a commoner, can you stay and fly with Han Du?
Go ahead and dream, if things really turn out to be like that, you and Han Du will truly have their fate in this life.
Seeing that his father found a paperweight and held it in his hand, Zhu Biao stepped forward and hugged his father tightly. "Father, I don't want it. If you hit Anqing with this hand, Anqing will die."
"It would be better if she died. What are you going to do with such an unfaithful and unfilial daughter? Get out of here." Lao Zhu cursed at Princess Anqing, then turned around and glared at Zhu Biao.
