After Emperor Ming Yuan left the Qiankun Hall, he did not return to the sleeping hall, but went to the ancestral temple.
Kneeling in front of the portraits of past emperors, his heart was as heavy as cold iron. The anger of the Supreme Emperor and the serious injury of Chu Shoufu were all vivid in his mind. The Supreme Emperor roared angrily to depose the crown prince, which shocked him beyond measure. What on earth did he say wrong?
Why did the Supreme Emperor become so angry?
After kneeling without saying a word for half an hour, Eunuch Mu Ru stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. You can't kneel any longer. You have already been kneeling for half an hour."
"What did I do wrong?" Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were a little dull, and the pain was suppressed little by little, and questions emerged inch by inch, "Since I came to the throne, I have followed the teachings of my ancestors and dare not relax in the slightest to control floods.
During the Northern Rebellion, water conservancy projects were launched to develop farming and commerce. For many years, there was almost no shortage of early morning visits. In the year of Zichou, there was a flood in the Huaijiang River. I personally went to the Huaijiang River to direct the diversion. I didn't sleep for three days and three nights. I fought the flood with the government and soldiers for several days.
I had a high fever and returned to Beijing all night. I didn't take a moment to rest and continued to discuss relief matters. I didn't dare to compete with the Supreme Emperor, but I never dared to forget the religious teachings of my ancestors. I didn't indulge in women. If I can avoid the triennial talent show,
In order to avoid the harem battles that would bring disaster to the previous dynasty. Regarding the country’s foundation, I misjudged Yu Wenjun, but this is not an irreversible mistake, and in the end I selected a suitable candidate."
"I recruit talented people, revitalize commerce, reuse rising stars, unite merchants from all over the country, and form an alliance with the military and commerce of the Zhou Dynasty for common development. Now the results have been achieved. These can be verified. I am the king of peace and prosperity, and what I plan is naturally to revitalize
Northern Tang, was I wrong? As for those cities, I may have lacked thought, but is this matter non-negotiable? How should I deal with the sentence of deposing the prince? What on earth did I go wrong? What will he do to me?
Such a disappointment? Is it because I favor the concubine Hu? There are many kings in the past who indulge in leisure and entertainment, but I never dared, nor did I want to. Only one concubine came into my heart, but the concubine Hu
She is not a charming person who confuses the monarch. She is reasonable and has no desires. It is I who have to give Xiao Lao Shi, because I can not give them much mother and son. I want to pamper the woman I love deeply, so what is wrong with me?
Ah? That's wrong, why can't you remind me like you did in the past and have to say such hurtful words? "
As Emperor Ming Yuan spoke, he felt even more grief-stricken and disheartened, to the point of being helpless.
Eunuch Mu Ru was listening and felt uncomfortable in his heart, and even more persuaded: "The Supreme Emperor is just a temporary rage. Your Majesty must not argue with him."
He smiled bitterly, "Since I have been in charge of the government, I have not dared to act on my own when it comes to major matters in the court. I have asked him for advice on all matters, no matter how big or small, for fear of running counter to him. He said that I did not originally prefer Lao Wu to be the prince. I am indeed not as far-sighted as him.
, I didn’t realize Lao Wu’s wisdom and calmness at that time. When I appointed him, I was a little unsure. But now I am very satisfied with Lao Wu. During the years he has been the prince, his brothers, friends and brothers have respected each other, and the royal family has been harmonious and peaceful.
Internally and externally, we worked with Leng Si to develop weapons, so that we could achieve a complete victory in the battle between Northern Tang and Bei Mo. For this, I have to praise him again. Although he was against my will, his
His courage and determination are far better than mine. I have seen and remembered his achievements one by one. In the past, I was really too harsh on Lao Wu, and I feel guilty, so
That's why I made this decision to let Xiao Lao Shi go to a remote place in the Northern Desert and not compete with him for fear of causing trouble between the brothers again. If I really want to favor Xiao Lao Shi, I can give him a wealthy state capital. Why?
As for having a dispute with the Supreme Emperor over those five cities?"
"Your Majesty, please stop thinking about it. There shouldn't be any rift between father and son!" Eunuch Mu Ru felt really uncomfortable hearing this.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the portrait of Master Hui Zong and said: "I will never have any quarrel with the Supreme Emperor. I will never dare to go against his words in this life. If he says he won't give it to me, I won't give it to him, and I won't give it to him."
The Prince will be deposed. The Emperor's anger today is not only due to these five cities, but also because of his disappointment in me. The achievements that I have just listed during my reign are far from enough in the eyes of the Emperor.
When I was young, he had too high expectations for me, but I...I have to admit that I was mediocre and let him down!"
He stood up, turned around slowly and went out with his hands behind his back. His voice came quietly, "I am not a king in troubled times. I came to the throne in a great era, and there are many talented people around me. However, I still make mistakes at every turn, and there are still many things I want to do.
There is nothing you can do. Please pass on the order. Today, the ministers do not need to wait in the imperial study room to wait for their call. They can go back and do their errands."
Eunuch Mu Ru knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Yes!"
In the end, Yu Wenhao went to meet the Saint.
After Emperor Ming Yuan left the ancestral temple, he went to the imperial study. Outside the imperial study, after Eunuch Mu Ru delivered the order, no ministers were waiting here.
When Yu Wenhao arrived, all the palace attendants were dismissed, and only Eunuch Mu Ru stood guard outside. When he saw Yu Wenhao arriving, he said softly: "Your Highness, the emperor is in a bad mood, you'd better not go in!
"
Yu Wenhao asked: "Father, are you okay?"
"It's okay, the emperor... will figure it out!" Mu Rugong said impartially.
Yu Wenhao sighed, "How could it be like this?"
"Let the prince come in!" Emperor Ming Yuan's voice came from inside, looking indescribably tired and weak.
Yu Wenhao adjusted his expression and slowly pushed the door open and entered.
Emperor Ming Yuan sat on the dragon chair, his body half sunken into the chair. When Yu Wenhao came in, he put his hands on the table, slowly straightened up, looked at Yu Wenhao and asked: "How are the conditions of the Supreme Emperor and the first assistant?"
Yu Wenhao knelt down to say hello, "If I go back to my father, the Supreme Emperor is fine, but the condition of the First Assistant is not good."
Emperor Ming Yuan showed a smile that was even more ugly than crying, and took a deep breath, "Nothing can happen to him. If anything happens to him, I will condemn myself for the rest of my life."
He glanced at Yu Wenhao and said, "Get up!"
Yu Wenhao stood up and said softly: "Father, the first assistant was injured on the battlefield. This time he bumped his head, which aggravated the injury. Lao Yuan is not very sure, but if something happens to him, don't be too complacent.
No one wants to take responsibility."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him, "Lao Wu, tell me the truth. Do you think I am too harsh on you? Or do you think I am biased?"
Yu Wenhao's heart sank. His father rarely said such careless words to him. He was also used to the relationship between father and son, that is, between the monarch and his ministers. The requirements of the monarch and his ministers should be strict.
.
But if we talk about father and son...
He didn't know what to say.
"You are also dissatisfied with me, right?" Emperor Ming Yuan stared at him.
Yu Wenhao thought for a while and said: "Yesterday Nuomi felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he kept clinging to Erchen and asked Erchen to rub his belly. Erchen stayed with him for half an hour."
He raised his head and looked at Emperor Ming Yuan, "Actually, Erchen did something like this when he was a child, but Nuomi was pretending to have abdominal pain, while Erchen really had abdominal pain."
