Grandma Yuan's words did not allow him to argue whether he was partial or not. She basically determined his fault first and then analyzed it.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Grandma Yuan with dark eyes, "I would like to hear the details!"
Grandma Yuan said lovingly: "I am relying on a few more years of food to speak unscrupulously. Please first ask the emperor to forgive me for the offense. The prince is the crown prince. Your son, you just want him to suffer a little and suffer a little injustice. At most, everyone feels sorry for him."
For a moment, I don’t dare to argue with you, because everyone understands that you are the emperor’s father, and you must be good for him. But this time you hurt the Supreme Emperor and Chu Shoufu. The two of them endured many hardships for the sake of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
The last trace of hair has turned white, and the most wrong thing is that you have implicated both the concubine and the tenth prince. Once again, your partiality has been confirmed in front of the Supreme Emperor, because the Supreme Emperor told you about the five cities, which is a state matter and a
Regarding the planning of the Northern Tang Dynasty for the next twenty or thirty years, you are focused on not wronging the tenth prince. You are talking about family affairs. For the sake of family affairs, you ignore state affairs. If the identity is changed, you will be in the position of the Supreme Emperor, and the Prince will be in your position.
Position, do you hate that iron cannot become steel? You have to remember that in addition to being the emperor of my concubine, you are also the emperor of the people of the world."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her blankly, "Go on!"
Grandma Yuan said: "You said that the Supreme Emperor is partial and only likes the prince but not the tenth prince. That is because you regard the Supreme Emperor as an old man in the family. But most of the time, he is in the status of the Supreme Emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty, so he discusses state affairs with you.
At that time, I treat you as a king and father, and I only care about whether it is beneficial to the future development of the Northern Tang Dynasty to my two grandchildren. As for privately, when not discussing state affairs, has the Supreme Emperor treated the tenth prince badly?"
Emperor Ming Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If we exclude this matter, it's really not a bad treatment, but..."
Grandma Yuan smiled, "It's just that there is no special treatment or special favor, right? Because you value Concubine Hu and the Tenth Prince, you think that everyone should pamper their mother and son, and you will be happy. I can actually understand this.
He prefers the prince, so I also hope that everyone will favor him as much as I do."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her, "So the old lady is a sensible person."
Grandma Yuan continued to smile, "But I prefer the prince because I know that the prince has worked hard and worked tirelessly for his family and country. From the people's livelihood and state affairs to the war with Bei Mo, the prince has sacrificed his life to be loyal, and the people's respect for him cannot be overstated.
Because he is a prince, but because of his loyalty and courage, his popularity has been gained bit by bit, and he has earned it with his life."
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were a little moved, "I know, so I am very lucky that the Supreme Emperor insisted on making him the crown prince. I am proud of him."
"Yes, as the father of the prince, you should be proud, and the emperor is also proud of him. When you and the emperor were arguing over the five cities, you said that you could have given the tenth prince a richer city. Then in turn,
, If the Emperor only wanted to reward the emperor's grandson, he could also reward the emperor with richer cities. Why did he insist on competing with you for these five cities? Does the emperor think that he is really treating him well by doting on the tenth prince now? Have you ever thought about it?
, will your partial favor lead to a deviation in his temperament? Or even lay the foundation for future troubles for Beitang?"
Emperor Ming Yuan was shocked and looked at her, "Did the Supreme Emperor say something to his wife?"
Grandma Yuan nodded, "Yes, I have had a private chat with the Supreme Emperor. His anger comes from your indifference between public and private matters, lowering state affairs to the level of family affairs. He affirms your achievements in governing Beitang these years, but
He is older, and he hopes that you can do better, because he cannot always stand behind you to help you with everything. He hopes that you will not be partial, because the title of prince has been determined, and to consolidate the prince's position in the court, you are needed.
Trust and appropriate delegation of authority, just like he has delegated authority to you over the years."
Emperor Ming Yuan gradually understood, "Did the Supreme Emperor say anything else?"
Grandma Yuan said softly: "He wants you to see the prince."
"See the prince? What do you mean?" Emperor Ming Yuan was stunned.
There was an eager look in Grandma Yuan's eyes, "Seeing him, seeing everything he has done, seeing him as a father, the praise he gets can come from the king, but more often, the hope comes from the father.
Your Majesty, the prince is your son, that outstanding young man is your son, you need to be truly proud of this son, not just the prince."
Emperor Ming Yuan felt that there was a cluster of flames in his blood, slowly walking among his limbs and bones. Lao Wu... his resolute face, his words and deeds, his decisiveness, his intelligence and talent, his determination flashed through his mind.
Wise in decision, his son.
"He is the crown prince appointed by you personally, not the emperor." After Grandma Yuan said this, she stood up and bowed down, then turned and left!
Emperor Ming Yuan closed his eyes. The events of the past two or three days had been intertwined in his mind. He had his own grievances and unwillingness, and he had also reflected on himself. However, the old lady's words made him enlightened and sober.
coming.
But rather than saying that these words were said by the old lady, it was actually the old lady who came to convey it on behalf of the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor still did not give up on him.
His eyes gradually became foggy, and he stood up suddenly, "Show the Qiankun Palace!"
After a stick of incense, he knelt outside the Qiankun Hall and kowtowed to the hall, "I have come to apologize. I already know where I went wrong. Please calm down, please forgive me, and please allow me."
My son enters the palace!"
After a while, the Emperor's deep voice came from the palace, "Go to the side hall and wait for me!"
Emperor Ming Yuan stood up, unable to hold back the tears in his eyes, wiped them away with one hand, and strode to the side hall. After waiting outside for a moment, the palace people came out to greet him. After he opened the door and entered, he went straight to the Supreme Emperor and knelt down with a bang.
He walked in front of the Supreme Emperor and said loudly: "Father, my son is wrong!"
The Supreme Emperor looked at the emperor kneeling in front of him, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. It was he who asked the old lady to go there, and it was he who asked the old lady to tell him what he said. He was sure in his heart. If he blamed the old lady for saying this,
If so, then there is no need to maintain a relationship between father and son.
But if he is awakened, it will be beneficial to the future of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he will still be the emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
When Emperor Ming Yuan was in grief and moved to tears, he had no idea that the Supreme Emperor had ever thought of deposing the emperor.
"Get up!" the Supreme Emperor said slowly.
Emperor Ming Yuan moved his lips, looked at the Supreme Emperor, and was unwilling to stand up. He still swallowed hard and said: "Father, my son is really wrong, a big mistake. My son has let you down."
"Tell me, where did you go wrong?" The Supreme Emperor looked at him.
Emperor Ming Yuan's heart was filled with pain and he regretted endlessly, "My son's mistake was that he did not distinguish between state affairs and family affairs. My son's mistake was that he ignored the overall situation because of his favoritism. His mistake was that he acted like a king to several of his sons, alienated family ties, but ignored the overall situation.
He only acted like a loving father to Xiao Lao Shi, and did not let him know how to respect his father since he was young, so that he could act recklessly and boldly. The son realized that he was wrong, and his exclusive love for the concubine led to discord in the harem, which was heartbreaking.
Erchen's partial favor for Xiao Lao Shi also led to his twisted and domineering temperament, which caused the brothers to lose affinity and trust, and even laid the foundation for future disasters in the Northern Tang Dynasty.
."
The Supreme Emperor locked eyes with him and said hoarsely: "I hope you really know what the problem is."
"I know!" Emperor Ming Yuan slowly raised his head and looked at the Supreme Emperor, "I finally understand what you said in the past. Once you become the emperor, you will no longer be yourself!" This chapter has been completed!
