Chu Yuanzhou lowered his head slightly, and the emperor said again: "I know that the official system has been somewhat biased over the years, and I am not a good emperor, but I want the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. Please control your temper and assist me for ten years.
You can do whatever you want in the future, and I won’t stop you.”
Chu Yuanzhou's eyes suddenly became extremely dark, and he felt that he had not hidden the entire incident from the emperor's eyes last night. He said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has said this, and I also want to beg Your Majesty."
"Why, are you still bargaining with me?" The emperor looked at him funny and said.
Chu Yuanzhou put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "I want to beg the emperor not to test me with the princes anymore. The Prince of Chu's Mansion has been gifted by the emperor and has some power in the court, but it has always been
They are all moderate and will not take the side of any prince. No matter which prince the emperor wants to appoint as the crown prince, the Chu Palace will fully support it."
The emperor's eyes darkened when he heard this, but he looked at Chu Yuanzhou and said, "This matter makes you very embarrassed?"
"Of course it's very difficult!" Chu Yuanzhou looked at the emperor with some grievance and said: "I have only been in office for a few months. During these days, several princes took turns inviting me to drink and testing me. The emperor also knows my temper.
, I don’t have much patience. If I test it a few more times, I’m afraid I’ll have to scold my mother. But the Queen and her mother-in-law honor the world, and I don’t dare to scold, so I can only wrong myself. It’s okay to be wronged once or twice.
If it happens too many times, I'm sure it will happen one day. Among the princes, I don't know who is the crown prince and who will inherit the throne in the future. If I offend the future emperor by coincidence, I will be in trouble for the rest of my life.
There is no way to survive.”
What he said was a bit nonsensical, but very true.
The emperor was a little dumbfounded after hearing what he said, and simply said calmly: "I didn't let any prince come to win over you."
"The emperor didn't give in, but he couldn't stop the princes from having that idea!" Chu Yuanzhou said with a flat mouth.
The corner of the emperor's mouth raised slightly and he said: "Okay, this time I know what you are thinking. When you get down, you can do your thing with peace of mind."
Chu Yuanzhou said cautiously: "Why won't the emperor dismiss me and investigate me?"
"You don't want to be a good boy even though you get a cheap advantage." The emperor glared at Chu Yuanzhou: "You are such an adult now, and you are still like a child. You don't know how to make progress at all. You will be exempted from dismissal and investigation. When you go back, you can write a self-examination book of 10,000 words.
I, your father has really spoiled you over the years."
Chu Yuanzhou chuckled, completely out of character. The emperor shook his head gently and said, "I heard that your mother and concubine are awake?"
When Chu Yuanzhou heard the emperor's question, he quickly replied: "Yes."
The emperor nodded slightly and said: "You are a filial child. Princess Chu is awake now. Please spend more time with her when you are free. When she is better, she will come to the palace to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother knows that you
My mother-in-law is very happy to wake up, but her legs and feet are inconvenient and it is difficult for her to leave the palace to see your mother-in-law."
"Yes." Chu Yuanzhou replied: "When the concubine is in better health, I will accompany her into the palace to pay her respects to Grandma Huang. A few days ago, the concubine was still saying that she had not seen Grandma Huang for many years due to illness. She was very worried.
miss."
The emperor nodded and said: "Very good."
After Chu Yuanzhou left, the emperor let out a long sigh, and there was a hint of depth in his eyes.
