Seeing that Emperor Ming Yuan was deep in thought, the Supreme Emperor said: "In order to avoid hidden dangers, let's do this. You send Xiao Lao Shi out to be raised, and you cannot stay with Concubine Hu."
Emperor Ming Yuan was shocked, "Father, this is absolutely impossible."
"Why can't you do it?
If the prince leaves his mother at a young age, he will not be easily instigated by the concubines and relatives, and the concubines will also be able to serve you wholeheartedly."
The Supreme Emperor thought for a while and looked like he thought the idea was brilliant. "Let's just decide, make the king a king and give him a mansion!"
Emperor Ming Yuan was so anxious that he said, "This is just a random guess made by the old ministers. How can I send Xiao Lao Shi out of the palace when he is still young?"
The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "Can't you just pick some people you trust and go out to serve them?"
“Who can serve better than a mother?
Father, Xiao Laoshi was born to Concubine Hu after ten months of hard work. The separation of mother and child is a tragedy in the world, and children and ministers cannot do this."
Emperor Ming Yuan firmly opposed it.
The Supreme Emperor frowned, "I don't want to do this, and I don't want to do that, so what do you want?"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him and sighed helplessly, "I have decided to choose my concubine!"
"Now that you have decided, why do you come to ask Gu?
Go ahead, go ahead, I don’t care about the harem, it’s ruined my prestige and made me look like a sissy.”
The Supreme Emperor vomited out the betel nut, but he had no teeth and could not bite it. He glared at Xiaoyao Gong fiercely. The old man said that the betel nut was the same as a smoking bag. How could it be the same?
You don't need to bite your teeth when smoking a pipe.
Emperor Ming Yuan reluctantly resigned and left.
After Emperor Ming Yuan went out, Duke Xiaoyao looked at his back and said, "The emperor is still reluctant. He doesn't know your painstaking efforts."
The Supreme Emperor took a sip of tea and said, "He first needs to know that being the emperor is not his business alone. The former dynasty must be managed, and the harem must be delegated power. When he is the emperor, he cannot have the final say in everything in the harem and cannot tolerate too much willfulness.
Concubine Hu is still young, long live when he gets old. The power that Concubine Hu has accumulated over the years is definitely a threat to the prince. Even if Concubine Hu does not have this idea, will Lao Shi have this idea in the future?
If she will continue to give birth to princes in the future, can she also ensure that those children will not be born?
If he did not choose a concubine for the sake of Concubine Hu, how many ministers would fawn over Concubine Hu and the Marquis of Zhenbei in the hope of becoming the Minister of Humerus to assist the young master?
The Marquis of Zhenbei is a reckless man who is easily provoked. Didn't he also try to shake the master with great achievements back then?
Fortunately, we have knocked them over. These are hidden dangers and we have to guard against them."
Xiaoyao Gong hummed and looked at him, "Liu'er, you said you have a hard life. Even though you have retired, you still have to plan for Beitang for a hundred years."
The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes, "This country looks like it belongs to Yuwen, but in fact it belongs to thousands of people. If something goes wrong with the royal family, it will be the people of the world who will suffer. If you can guard against it, you must guard against it."
Concubine is wronged?
It's definitely aggrieved, but aren't the other concubines in the harem aggrieved as well?
For the sake of the country and the country, sometimes some people have to be wronged. Wouldn’t the prince be wronged?
If you think about it, everything the prince and princess have achieved over the years has been earned through a lot of hard work. Who has given it to them?
Even Gu can’t stand it sometimes.”
Duke Xiaoyao said thoughtfully: "When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future and it is time to choose a concubine, what do you think the crown princess will do?"
The Supreme Emperor's expression softened, "He doesn't have to choose a concubine. There were emperors in the previous dynasty who abolished the harem and only kept one husband and one wife."
"Are you too biased?"
Xiaoyao Gong was startled.
The Supreme Emperor rolled his eyes at him, "How can this be called partiality?
Let me ask you, what is the most important reason for concubines in the harem to enter the palace?"
"Nature is about continuing and multiplying descendants."
"The Crown Princess has given birth to five sons so far. Are her descendants prosperous?"
"Uh...forget it!"
Xiaoyao Gong smiled again, "Then the emperor now has many sons, isn't there still fighting over them?
And the purpose of letting him choose a concubine now is to ensure that the crown prince's status is not threatened."
"His son was not born to a concubine, but the prince concubine gave birth to five sons, all of whom are brothers from the same mother, and they share the same mind. Can this reduce the possibility of fighting?
Also, Gu Why established a grandson immediately after he established the crown prince, so that they would know from a young age that Baoer would be the emperor in the future. This knowledge became deeply ingrained in their hearts as they grew older, and Baoer
He is the legitimate son, the eldest son, and his name is justifiable, but he has other thoughts, but is there no reason to go against it?
Why don't you find a legitimate reason for doing big things under a banner?"
"You're right!"
Duke Xiaoyao leaned towards him and said, "To be honest, are you partial to the Crown Princess?"
The Supreme Emperor glanced at him and said, "Yes!"
Xiaoyao Gong grinned, "Can't you just say this?
And they pretend to analyze a lot."
The Supreme Emperor was unconvinced and said: "Gu Ye is not unreasonably partial. Speaking of the Crown Princess's natal family, wait and see what big things will happen to that guy?
If the prince becomes emperor in the future, choosing a concubine will be the beginning of trouble."
Xiaoyao Gongdao: "It's just that the harem has always been a means to win over the previous dynasty. Wouldn't it be a pity if the harem was abolished?"
"The prince is still young, but now he has shown his talents. He has promoted a group of young officials. These people are loyal to him. Moreover, their brothers have basically united together now. It will be difficult to give birth to a son in the future.
When the moth comes, just guard against those who have not grown up and do not know their temperament. There is no need to choose concubines to win over the courtiers and stabilize the hearts of the officials in the court. The prince has such courage."
When the Emperor said this, he sighed softly, "The Emperor is wise now, but over the years he has not valued the Prince the most and has been partial. Do you admit it?
The prince has great talents and great strategies, and he will definitely reform the Northern Tang Dynasty drastically. However, the emperor is conservative and believes that the safest is to not move. Take the current medical reform and gunpowder weapons as an example. He is unwilling to change and is afraid of the future.
The queen of tigers is afraid of wolves, but these are of great use to the long-term peace and stability of the country. If he does not lack the courage and orders them to do it, the Northern Desert will be a little afraid. The stability of the country has never been obtained by giving in and tolerating. He
Haven't figured this out yet.
Having said that, if there is a rift between father and son, and he has doted on his concubine for a long time, once the conflict between father and son reaches a certain point, can you ensure that he will not think of abolishing the throne? "
Only then did Duke Xiaoyao marvel, "Six, I have to say, if you hadn't retired due to illness, Beitang would be in a much different situation now!"
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "To be alive now is a blessing from God. I can watch them struggle and give them a few words at the right time. If I really die, I won't be able to see them in the future, let alone help.
, Gu put a large amount of gold into the inner treasury. In fact, it gave the emperor confidence. We are not afraid of being beaten, but he just didn't understand it. Of course, he can't be said to be a foolish king. During his reign, he could do it
It’s still good, as the implementation of a series of pro-business measures will allow people to live a good life.”
