The little fat man raised his head blankly, with tears mixed with snot still hanging on his face. The emperor glared at him angrily, and he didn't even look like he was critically ill. The little fat man hurriedly wiped off the dirt on his face. Then he looked at the emperor blankly. Looking at his dazed eyes, the emperor shook his head helplessly, why did I give birth to such a stupid son? He got up and walked off the bed.
He walked around on the bed and moved his body some more, and then sat on the bed again.
"Father, you...are you not??"
"Aren't you going to die? Are you? What, you can't wait to be the emperor?" the emperor asked coldly.
"I don't dare, kid. It's just that..." The little fat man was still a little confused about what was happening in front of him. Even his mother and eldest mother were crying for his father all day long and praying to heaven, but his father didn't have any thoughts at all. Uncomfortable? Father has deceived everyone? The little fat man thought and frowned, but never figured it out.
"Hey, sit down and let me ask you, what did your mother, including the Huangmen in the palace, say?"
The little fat man's eyes widened and he said: "They are all worried about my father's condition, and my mother cried all night long, and her eyes were about to suffer from eye diseases..."
The emperor nodded and said: "Then do you know why I am doing this?" He stared at the little fat man seriously. The little fat man squinted his eyes, thought for a long time, raised his head and said: "Father...yes Want to see who really loves the emperor?"
"No...you have to broaden your horizons. When you become the emperor, your gaze must be on the whole world. Listen, this time, there are so many civil unrest in the south. Although I have detained Wang Fu, but... These policies were all implemented with my personal permission. If I didn’t do it for the sake of the people of the world, I got seriously ill and almost died, it would not have been possible... In addition, we also took care of Wang Fu together."
What the emperor said gave a huge shock to the little fat man who was only ten years old now. The little fat man was very confused. He kept thinking about the emperor's words in his mind. My father pretended to be sick just to clear himself. responsibility and place all the fault on Wang Fu?
For some reason, the emperor, who was always harsh on the little fat man, did not press the little fat man this time, but quietly waited for him to think clearly. After a long time, the little fat man seemed to have come back to his senses and suddenly realized, but he immediately asked He said: "Father, you are the Son of Heaven. No one dares to blame you. Isn't it unnecessary for you to do this?"
"Hahaha, what do you know? Remember, everyone will be blamed, but for some people, people will hide this blame in their hearts and dare not reveal it. If one day, they all vent it out, it will be dangerous. Already...."
"What about Wang Fu? If my father wants to execute him, he can do it at any time. Why wait until today?"
"Why should I execute him? He is talented. In today's prosperous age, how can the Han Dynasty live without his assistant?" The emperor said with a smile, and the little fat man became even more puzzled and asked: "Why should my father imprison him?" stand up."
"Well, think about it, I am still a little unwell and often fall ill, but he is strong and lively, and his character is extremely arrogant. If I don't suppress him, how will you get his support in the future? How to get his allegiance?" The emperor squinted his eyes and said, "Now think about it, what should you do?"
"I will go to Tingwei, find Wang Fu, and then persuade him not to lose heart. I have always supported him and will reuse him in the future?"
"Hahaha, a boy can be taught! He is indeed my eldest son!!" The emperor suddenly laughed and clapped his hands.
This seemed to be the first time that the emperor praised himself. The little fat man smiled happily, and his body was no longer so restrained. He sat casually beside the emperor and looked at the emperor eagerly. The emperor said: "The next thing needs to be done." You can complete it yourself. I will agree to transfer any officials you want, but you have to get things done and you can't let me down..."
"Father, what do I need to do?"
"You have to go find Wang Fu first, and then..." The emperor explained to the little fat man in a low voice. The little fat man listened attentively. After the emperor finished speaking, he added: "Don't forget it, repeat it several times. , I taught you, if you can’t do it, don’t rely on the position of prince..." The emperor's expression gradually became solemn again, the little fat man nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, The child will not let down his father’s high expectations.”
"It's just that thousands of people were killed and injured in this incident. Can Wang Fu be saved?"
"What, you want to avenge these people?"
"He Yaye once taught that a king should love his people..." the little fat man said hesitantly, for fear that his father would teach him another lesson.
"Of course, as a king, you must love the people." The emperor nodded and said, and then said helplessly: "But, as a king, you must have the world in mind, benevolent and righteous, not a woman's benevolence. Think about it, build a chi Tao, exhausted dozens of people to death, but he facilitated tens of thousands of people, and created tens of thousands of taxes. How many people can these taxes help? Hundreds of people drowned in shipping, but he transported Food and grass can save ten thousand people..."
"You have to know that to be a king, a man of great benevolence must first serve the millions of people in the world, not hundreds and thousands... Do you understand?"
"Well...then, how to save Wang Fu from the officials?"
"Hahaha, don't worry, I have my own way."
The emperor laughed and said nothing. He waved his hand and said: "After you go out, don't tell anyone about my situation. The same goes for your mother. In addition, rush to Tingwei quickly and take my jade pendant. Well, ...You come closer first..."
The little fat man leaned forward with some confusion, "Pah~~", and slapped him hard on the face. The little fat man was a little confused and looked at his father in confusion. He said it well, why did he suddenly slap him? What about me? The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said: "While there are still marks on your face, hurry to Tingwei... Do you understand?"
The little fat man nodded aggrievedly, covered his face and walked out. The emperor watched him leave and lay on the bed. Song Dian saw the prince off and walked in immediately. The emperor was still weakly lying on the bed, closing his eyes. He stared, and his chest rose and fell violently.
The prince walked out of the main hall without paying attention to anyone. He took Wang Yue and hurried to Tingwei's Mansion, riding fast along the way. When he arrived at the door of Tingwei's Mansion, he unexpectedly saw a minister. Renxi and Wen Renxi were waiting anxiously because they had no way to get in. Suddenly they saw the prince coming and they hurriedly paid their respects. The prince looked at him with some doubts and asked, "Why is Mr. Wen Renxi here?"
"Come for the King Talisman."
"Well, Mr. Wen Ren, don't worry. I'm going in right away to see how the prince is doing. You should go back to the mansion first. I will go and visit you."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Wen Renxi said. Suddenly, he noticed the red spot on the Crown Prince's face. He was already confused because of the Crown Prince's arrival, and he became even more confused when he saw that the Crown Prince was about to enter.
, asked anxiously behind him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how is your health? Is it better?"
"Hey, Mr. Wen Ren, it's better not to ask any more questions about my father...just wait for news from the palace..."
