His mind turned around a few times, and he suddenly thought that after the Supreme Emperor had told him so much, had he already made a plan?
He couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Father, what do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with it?"
The Supreme Emperor put down his pipe and looked at him, "I already had an idea yesterday. Five cities will be allocated to the prince's sons. In addition to the grandson, even the children in the womb will have a share. Send Huhou and the third son first.
Stationed there, they restrain each other, pull each other, and be careful to prevent one party from becoming dominant. The fourth child is still stationed in Jiangbei Mansion. As the eyes of the imperial court, he keeps an eye on these five cities and further guards our border lands. This is the most appropriate thing."
Emperor Ming Yuan was startled for a moment, "Father, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. How can there be any reason for the prince to enfeoff the emperor's grandson first without enfeoffing the enfeoffment?
And according to what you said, it makes sense that these five cities were entrusted to Xiao Lao Shi. After all, if Lao San was sent there, he could control the Hou Hou, and the Hou Hou would not be arrogant and domineering.
What is the problem?"
The Supreme Emperor immediately refuted, "This distinction is what I just said. If the title is given to the tenth prince, then the prince will regard himself as the master and will not take the third son seriously. And if they are both ministers, they will not give birth to this easily."
Ambition comes.
Secondly, fifteen years later, the children grew up and went to the fiefdom. Each of them occupied a city. Brothers watched and helped each other. They could discuss problems and work together to build an indestructible gate for our Northern Tang Dynasty. The combined strength of the five people would
More than five, it is better than you giving five cities to one person."
After hearing what the Supreme Emperor said, Emperor Ming Yuan was convinced. This consideration was actually more far-reaching than what he had planned.
However, the problem is that he has already given the decree to the tenth prince. How can the emperor change the decree overnight?
This is really beneath the authority of the king.
After some careful consideration, in fact, the words of the Supreme Emperor can be overturned. Even if the little old man does not go to the fiefdom in ten days and keeps forcing the generals to garrison for decades, the people in those five cities will sooner or later submit to the Northern Tang Dynasty, and
The Emperor's suggestion of relocating the citizens to marry and reproduce with the locals was also a good idea, so strictly speaking, it didn't matter who the enfeoffment was given to.
He has already issued an edict. After all that the Supreme Emperor has said, in the final analysis he is still unwilling to entrust these cities to Xiao Lao Shi. He is partial to the children of Lao Wu.
He felt really sorry for Xiao Lao Shi. Although he knew he shouldn't say this, he couldn't help but said: "Father, Xiao Lao Shi is also your grandson."
"emperor!"
Chu Shoufu suddenly raised his head and gave him an encouraging look.
Emperor Ming Yuan's inner reluctance was suppressed by the call from his chief minister, but he did not say a word and was unwilling to apologize.
The Supreme Emperor said nothing, picked up the pipe again, pulled the shredded tobacco from the side and stuffed it into the pot. This time, the emperor personally went on the expedition, and the wind and sand were strong in the north. Even though it was more than a month and less than two months, the blow made his face and the skin on his hands dark.
After drying, I wiped the sword myself every day. There were many barbs growing on the edges of the nails. The barbs tore small cuts one after another. Two finger joints exploded. The wound healed, but there was still a scab left, which was not torn off.
Now it is filled with tobacco, and the scab on the joint rubs against the tobacco rod, opening a hole and exposing the red flesh.
The Supreme Emperor took a look, held the cigarette pouch between his two fingers, and immediately tore off the scab. A tiny bit of blood oozed out from the center of the scab. He wiped it off with his fingertips. His eyebrows drooped, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were particularly obvious.
The white frost shone with silver light, mixed with a few traces of withered yellow, the corners of his lips were curved downward, and there was a small scar on his chin. When he raised his head, the small scar was hidden by the reflection.
He lit the cigarette and started smoking. His weathered face was hidden behind the smoke, and his voice was heard quietly, "Well, go back!"
Emperor Ming Yuan felt a little uneasy, and stood up. When he bowed and bowed, he was still overwhelmed with worries, "I hope my father can always remember that the name of the little old ten is Yu Wengui, which was given by you yourself.
You also had high hopes for him. I have given the position of prince to Lao Wu and the best to him. Now you want to entrust these five cities to his son. Such a great favor, only
I'm afraid of attracting criticism and treating the prince badly, but I want to make some plans for Xiao Laoshi. It's not too much. According to the rules, I can actually be promoted to the position of concubine and grant her the position of noble concubine. But I know
You don't like her, but I didn't do this. I would rather have wronged her to please you. Please understand your son's hard work."
The pipe and pot hit the tea table hard, and the teacup flew up. The full cup of water splashed out, and the cup rolled down to the marble floor and cracked in two. The Emperor stared angrily, stood up suddenly, and pointed at him,
Lei Lei was furious, "As for favoritism, you have no right to speak. Apart from favoring the eldest son, you don't care about any of your sons, especially the fifth son. How much suffering have you made him suffer?"
If you treat all your grandchildren equally, can you treat all your sons equally?
When there is a crisis in the world, you say that Lao Wu is capable and ask him to go out and bear all the dangers for you. He lives and dies several times in exchange for your praise. The praise you gave him during the celebration is still in your ears, but now you have forgotten it.
It's all over, you don't like him in the first place. If Gu Gu had not insisted on not allowing you to make him the boss, you would have made him the prince long ago. His character and endurance are now clear to you. Looking at the world, your son is
You have conquered the enemy and been prepared for the danger. Your father has worked hard for you and planned behind the scenes. He dare not relax for a moment, for fear that a wrong decision of yours will plunge the Northern Tang Dynasty into a place of eternal destruction. Now the civil strife has ceased, the border areas are stable, and the country is
Taiping, you think it is best for you to give it to the fifth child. In this case, a father does not feel sorry for his son, but a grandfather feels sorry for him, and the deposed prince does!"
How much weight do these three words "Deposed Prince" carry?
It hit Emperor Ming Yuan on the head, and he felt his heart tremble.
He knelt down, but without saying a word, he saw Xiaoyao Gong exclaimed in panic, "Six..." Blood sprayed on Emperor Mingyuan's head. On his face, he looked up hastily and saw the Supreme Emperor's face.
His body slowly slid down and was stopped by Xiaoyao Gong. Chu Shoufu was so startled that he stood up and ran over. He tripped over a short boy and hit his head heavily on the corner of the tea table. Immediately, blood seeped out from under the tea table.
.
Xiaoyao Gong's face turned pale with shock, and he shouted in a heartbreaking voice, "Chu Xiaowu!"
The first assistant's body fell softly at the feet of Emperor Ming Yuan. Emperor Ming Yuan's whole body was cold, and he picked him up with one hand and shouted outside like crazy, "Pass the imperial doctor, pass the imperial physician!"
