Chapter 1,079: The prince sacrificed himself to Feng Dao, and the prince received the ordination

It’s Spring Festival again.

The prince came to Luoyang under the reluctant farewell of many great Confucian teachers.

More than 20 years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang's prosperity has long surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty, with a permanent population of more than one million.

The prince, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out at the blossoming Luoyang, his eyes full of joyful yearning:

"Teacher, how do you think Chang'an more than two hundred years ago compares to Luoyang now?"

"It should be almost the same!"

The prince's teacher was Feng Dao, a great scholar of the time.

Feng Dao, in the original historical time and space, served five dynasties and ten emperors successively, and was nicknamed the "Five Dynasties Tumbler".

In this plane, when Feng Dao was still working under Li Cunxu, he was captured by Su Mingzhe.

Following Li Cunxu's surrender, Feng Dao also became an official of the Han Dynasty and was promoted through meritorious deeds, gradually reaching the position of being the prince's assistant in the East Palace.

Among the great scholars around the prince, although Feng Dao was not the most eloquent and prestigious, he was the most practical.

This time the prince returned to Luoyang, everyone around the prince recommended that Feng Dao come back with him and be an "accompanying adviser".

"When Gu becomes emperor, Chang'an will definitely be able to restore its glory to the Tang Dynasty, which will be even more prosperous than Luoyang!"

"Your Highness will definitely be able to do it."

Feng Dao looked at the prince with relief. As the prince's benefactor in the east palace, he naturally hoped that the prince would be ambitious so that he could realize his ambitions.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace gate.

As a minister, Feng Dao had no choice but to get out of the car without being summoned.

"Teacher, don't get out of the car. Let the car take you home!"

Su Shaoan received Confucian education since he was a child, and he did not compromise at all on respecting teachers and Taoism.

Feng Dao also knew the prince's character, so he didn't hesitate to refuse.

Saying goodbye to the teacher, Su Shaoan immediately walked towards the imperial study room.

One of the chamberlains wanted to carry him on foot, but Su Shaoan refused directly.

Not long after.

Su Shao'an came to the door of the imperial study and was informed. He then walked into the imperial study holding a gift box that had been inspected.

As soon as he entered the door, Su Shaoan saw his mother and queen there. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly knelt down and wished his father and mother the best of health and longevity.

In order not to cause misunderstanding, Su Mingzhe had long grown a beard, and his appearance gradually changed into that of a man in his forties.

Seeing the dashing and handsome prince, Su Mingzhe felt envious and jealous, and couldn't help but snorted:

"Wishing me longevity and longevity? Why, aren't you afraid that I am fatuous?"

Su Shaoan, who was kneeling in worship, was so frightened by his own father's words that he froze up and quickly buried his head on the carpet, trembling and afraid to speak.

Before returning to Luoyang this time, those great Confucian teachers held a farewell banquet for Su Shaoan.

At this banquet, Su Shaoan was complimented by several great scholars, and he couldn't help but feel young and high-spirited, and then wrote passionately, like a filthy prince.

In the end, as the alcohol surged, Su Shaoan was so dazed that he even started to complain about his own father.

After Su Mingzhe received the report, he almost went to Chang'an to depose the prince.

Even before he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he started to complain about his own father.

If he were to be on the throne, wouldn't he overturn all the national policies he had formulated?

Thinking of the disobedient son in the first two planes, Su Mingzhe really wanted to depose the prince, then announce that he had found the elixir of immortality and sit down on the dragon throne forever.

pity.

After all, Su Mingzhe didn't want to be so heartbroken.

After all, this is his own son.

Tiger poison doesn't even eat seeds.

If I don't even care about my biological son, I'm afraid that when I travel through various planes in the future, I'll only be able to eat, drink and have fun.

In order not to destroy humanity, Su Mingzhe must be more tolerant towards these unfilial sons.

It's just that tolerance is tolerance, and the dignity that should be there should still be there.

Su Mingzhe thought about it and decided to give this brat a hard beating after meeting.

As expected, Su Shaoan was so frightened by his own father's words that he sweated profusely and did not dare to raise his head and reply.

It was Queen Cui Yingying who felt sorry for her son. She couldn't help but reach out and slap the man, saying angrily:

"Your Majesty, the prince just talked nonsense when he was drunk. Why are you so serious with your child?"

"snort."

Su Mingzhe snorted and turned his head, but Cui Yingying knew that the man had already exposed the matter, and quickly asked someone to help the prince up and sit down next to her.

In recent years, although the prince has been staying in Chang'an, he will still come back when he is celebrating his third birthday.

After all, Chang'an and Luoyang are not that far away. It only takes about five days by horse-drawn carriage.

"Sit down!"

Su Mingzhe glared at his son angrily. The prince was so shocked that he didn't even dare to sit down.

Seeing the prince so frightened, Su Mingzhe was angry, funny, and at the same time a little bit distressed:

"How come you dared to talk loudly when you were in Chang'an, but when you come to Luoyang, you don't even dare to sit down?"

"I know my mistake!"

In fact, the prince already knew that there was a high probability that his own father would not punish him again.

But as the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Su Mingzhe carried all kinds of majesty with him, so a gentle tease made the prince nervous.

"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good!"

In order to prevent his son from being frightened to death by him, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to comfort him in a gentle voice. This was how the matter was settled:

"You are already twenty this year. According to your mother's wishes, after your crowning ceremony is over, your marriage should also be put on the agenda. In my opinion, it is better for you to choose your marriage partner, the future crown princess. Of course, if you don't have a candidate, let your mother arrange it. Over the years, your mother has been asking about the daughters of powerful families in Luoyang, and I think she will have some suggestions for you."

"Thank you, Father, and thank you, Queen Mother."

Su Shaoan is extremely honest now, sitting upright and not daring to be presumptuous at all.

Seeing the prince's appearance, Su Mingzhe lost interest in talking to him and asked him some more questions before letting him and the queen go out.

After the two of them exited the imperial study, the charming Wan Hou walked out from behind the screen and smiled lightly at the man:

"I didn't expect that His Majesty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, would be soft-hearted sometimes?"

"This is not soft-hearted."

Su Mingzhe sighed and said:

"The Han Dynasty has only been established for more than 20 years, and the world has been unified for less than 20 years. It really cannot withstand the turmoil."

"So, in order to remove obstacles for the prince, you drove all the princes over fifteen years old out of Luoyang and asked them to go to remote places to join the feudal clan?"

As Empress Wan spoke, she thought of her poor son, the thirty-fifth prince Su Shaojie, and she burst into tears.

Just because of the man’s words, ‘The vassal king cannot return to the capital without an edict’.

She has not seen her son for two years.

Let's take another look at the prince. Every year he has three birthdays and two birthdays. He can return to Luoyang from Chang'an to visit his parents and reunite with the queen.

In comparison, this treatment is completely different.

Empress Wan couldn't understand that since they were both the emperor's sons, why should the queen's son be more valuable than her own son?

"In this way, I will indeed wrong the other princes, but this is the best solution."

Su Mingzhe can naturally understand the imbalance in Wanhou's heart.

Over the years, Empress Wan assisted him in handling government affairs, and her contribution to the country was far greater than that of Empress Cui Yingying.

In Wan Hou's eyes, the great Han Dynasty should have a share of her contribution. Even if it was her mother's contribution, the position of prince should belong to her son, not the queen's son.

"Okay, Empress Wan, I have other arrangements for Shaojie, so don't worry about it."

Su Mingzhe didn't want to talk about his other arrangements.

Although the Han Dynasty was founded more than 20 years ago, the population dropped sharply during the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

As of the 20th year of Jianwu, the population of the Han Dynasty was only 70 to 80 million.

This small population simply cannot support the princes to go overseas and expand their territory.

Therefore, at this time, Su Mingzhe could only choose to continue to be in charge of the Han Dynasty.

In another twenty or thirty years, when the domestic population reaches more than 150 million, we will not mention the establishment of vassal states overseas.
