Chapter five hundred and fifty first mother and son
The Queen Mother has always been more kind to the Empress. This was not experienced by the Third Prince himself, but because he occasionally heard his mother-in-law murmuring to herself when he was holding her in his arms while admiring the moon and flowers. Even though he didn't understand it at the time,
But later, after seeing more things, I came to understand over time. If it were not for the protection of the Queen Mother, the Queen who had lost her Sacred Heart would not have been able to be so tyrannical in the palace.
Therefore, even if the Queen Mother treats the eldest prince and the second prince indifferently, when she gives gifts during festivals, she and the fourth prince together are often not as good as the second prince, and the second prince and them combined are not as good as each other.
It was because of the eldest prince. Therefore, he always thought that the Queen Mother did not like him.
But at this moment, this unprecedented touching of the head seemed to disrupt all his previous guesses. The third prince was at a loss and was stunned, forgetting etiquette for the first time in his life. In the end, it was still the fourth prince.
The shouting suddenly brought him back to his senses.
"Royal grandmother, third brother has always been very stable, and he has always been a role model for his grandson! He will definitely not disappoint you and your father's hopes!"
The Queen Mother glanced at the fourth prince, who was obviously more excited than the third prince, and couldn't help but think of the eldest prince and the second prince who had been fighting like black-eyed chickens since childhood.
She used to try her best to maintain the hierarchy in the palace, but in the end she ended up being a prisoner of the emperor's deposed queen. And even though she took over the matter of deposing the queen, the emperor still did not hesitate to personally inform everyone.
The prince and the second prince dealt with him severely. At this moment, when she saw the third prince, he immediately stepped in front of the fourth prince and bowed as if he wanted to defend him, so she waved her hand.
"You brothers are in harmony, how can I be unhappy? There is no need to explain anything. You two are good children. Let's go back now. Remember to study hard and make progress." At this point, she told Yuquan beside her.
He said, "After you return to Qingning Palace, go to my desk and give the late emperor's jade lion paperweight to Sanlang. Give Sanlang the other side of the She inkstone as a reward."
Although the things have not been received yet, the Empress Dowager's words were as good as gold, so the third prince was stunned and hurriedly thanked him. As for the fourth prince, he was even more excited. After thanking him, he shouted: "My grandson will definitely use that in the future."
I will grind my ink with an inkstone and write, and when it’s my grandmother’s birthday, I will definitely write 10,000 Chinese characters for birthday as a gift!”
"Yuquan, please help me write down these words. If he misses a word by then, then I will settle the score with Shiro, the big talker."
The Queen Mother told Yuquan with a half-smile, and she immediately responded. She cast a sidelong glance at the dumbfounded Fourth Prince, but continued to move forward. Although she was over sixty years old, she still maintained her youthfulness with proper care.
With her graceful figure, when she walked into Qianqing Palace, the palace attendants behind her quietly looked up at her back, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
The emperor was filial and had many children and grandchildren. He once held power over the world and gave orders to civil and military officials. The queen mother was truly the person that women in the world most yearned for.
But the Queen Mother was not as proud as others thought. After entering the Qianqing Palace with a smile on her face, she turned her guests around and ordered everyone to leave. When Yuquan and Liu Feng dismissed the palace servants without saying a word, they both left.
When she opened the door, she saw the emperor sitting down on the throne rebelliously, then she darkened her face and walked straight forward, not stopping until she was in front of him.
She looked down at the emperor condescendingly and said calmly: "You are the only one who can't object to the civil and military ministers, and you can't even speak out. You are arbitrary and arbitrary. Do you feel that you are very proud? You have to endure the pain of confining one son, expelling another, and then If you say that you want to go to the ancestral temple and accuse your ancestors, you feel very responsible, don't you?"
"That's right."
The emperor spoke two words concisely and concisely, then raised his head and looked at his most respected mother. It took a long time before he said word by word: "I have grown up a long time ago, and there is no need for my mother to come forward to protect me. Yu, there is no need for my mother to spare no effort in protecting my reputation. Besides, what is reputation? Even if Qing Shi slanders me in every possible way, I cannot be seen or heard in the coffin!"
"Absurd!" The Queen Mother couldn't help but angrily rebuke, seeing the emperor's nonchalant expression. Although this situation was different from when she scolded him sternly and he scolded him harshly when she was a child, it was still the same in her bones.
Therefore, she was too lazy to say any more, and just asked bluntly: "Has someone been sent to watch over the Second Prince's courtyard?"
"Of course, otherwise, with that kid's egotistical temper, he will definitely run out and make a fuss." The emperor smiled suddenly and then stood up. He practiced literature and martial arts. With his strong body, he immediately appeared to be more than half a head taller than the Queen Mother. , very satisfied with the visual effect, he suddenly stretched out his hand and took the gray-haired mother into his arms.
Such a sudden movement shocked the Queen Mother to the point where she almost froze, and instinctively stretched out her hands to break free. However, even though she had practiced martial arts back then, she was now old and could only do a little exercise on weekdays. How could she be compared to the emperor who liked him when he had nothing to do? Spending time in the martial arts arena? So when she couldn't break free, she shouted angrily: "Let go, what will it look like if others see you?"
"It is the nature of a mother and a child to be afraid of someone seeing it!" Instead of letting go, the emperor rested his chin on the Queen Mother's shoulder. He found that the Queen Mother's shoulder was so stiff that she seemed unable to move. Then he said softly, "In the past, father When the emperor was away just now, I would wake up in the middle of the night. It was my mother who moved to Qianqing Palace to live with me. At that time, I could only sleep with you."
The empress dowager's stern reprimand, which was already on her lips, suddenly turned into a sigh. She and Emperor Ruizhong had been childless for many years, so she once advised her ambitious husband to take concubines and maids to spread his business, but Emperor Ruizhong only accepted De. Concubine De, she was the first to become pregnant when the situation was most dangerous. Concubine De's son, Prince Lu, was born only after Emperor Ruizhong ascended the throne from vassal to emperor.
Later, Emperor Ruizong suddenly fell ill. From top to bottom, many people were not mentally prepared, including the eldest son who had always been attached to his parents. The emperor was only twelve years old when he ascended the throne. She moved into the Qianqing Palace, firstly for the Queen Mother. It was more convenient to teach politics behind the curtain, but secondly, it was also to take good care of his only son. Her husband, Emperor Ruizong, praised him as Qianliju's successor.
After a long time, she summoned up her energy and lectured: "How old you are, if your two sons see it, you, the father, will be embarrassed!"
"There won't be another time." The emperor finally let go of his hand, and then took two steps back. He saw the queen mother unnaturally hurriedly adjusting her hair and clothes, just like when she was tutoring the government, she made sure her appearance was not messy. He used this He explained the sudden action just now in a calm tone, but bypassed the Queen Mother and went down two steps, then turned around and bowed deeply to the Queen Mother.
"My mother has worked hard to raise her for many years, she has braved hardships for many years, she has cleaned up my mess for many years, and she has shouldered responsibilities for me for many years. My sons owe my mother a lot. Now that I am about to enthrone the crown prince, I want to thank my mother first."
"Sanlang is still young. In the past, some people said that he was timid and cowardly. But now, looking carefully, he only feels that he is gentle yet determined, humble yet very responsible. The most important thing is that even if he doesn't like
His two older brothers will treat them well, not to mention Shiro, who grew up with him."
"If I am in good health, I can teach him by words and deeds and take him for ten to eight years; if I am not in good health..."
"Shut up!" the Queen Mother shouted to the emperor directly. Seeing that the emperor finally straightened up, she shouted angrily, "You are in the prime of life, let alone the muscles and bones you have worked hard on the battlefield to perform on horseback, how can you be in poor health!
When I heard the news before, I was thinking that there is nothing wrong with marrying Saburo, he is still young, and by the time you know your destiny, he will only have just married."
"And during this period, he can be taught by the best teachers in the world."
"The queen mother and I thought of getting together." The emperor was immediately amused, but then he said lightly, "But I don't need the best teacher in the world, I only need the most suitable teacher. Why didn't Dalang and Erlang invite him?
A famous teacher, but the queen would rather humiliate her husband for the sake of her son. How can she teach her son well? What's more, those teachers who always talk about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust..."
"Have they taught those two bad boys benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust? No! Because benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust should not be taught by teachers, but should be taught by parents through words and deeds! I failed to discipline my two older sons, but at least they have been since they were young.
I taught Sanlang and Shilang right from wrong, so my biggest requirement for Master Donggong is to be tolerant and knowledgeable."
"Emperor Taizu once said that the Confucian system of monarchs and ministers has been changed by so many emperors in the past dynasties according to their own wishes. It is naturally very convenient to use it to govern the world. However, it is more than enough to maintain and not enough to create!
This world is huge, and it’s not just the defeated enemies in the north. If we remain stubborn and complacent instead of forging ahead, foreign enemies will take advantage of the situation and sneak in."
"This foreign enemy may come from the land, from the sea, or from the sky! Although Taizu's words are somewhat nonsense, many things today are originally unimaginable by the ancients. Today I went to Zhang Shouna's workshop
, and also gained a lot.”
The emperor recounted what he saw and heard at Zhang Shou's place, as well as Zhang Shou's words relayed by Guan Qiu. Seeing that the Queen Mother suddenly began to ponder, he said frankly: "Yingying has not only found a good son-in-law who can ride a dragon."
, and also found an unparalleled national warrior."
"My Sanlang and Shilang must not miss such a good teacher. Because what Zhang Shouneng can teach cannot be replaced by anyone."
The Queen Mother could only smile bitterly at the emperor's judgment.
I remember that when Emperor Ruizong selected teachers for the emperor, there was only one biggest criterion, that is, irreplaceability. At that time, Ge Yong was brilliant in literary talent, hated evil, but was also humorous and witty, and had great attainments in arithmetic.
It was the first one - after all, Qi Jingshan and Chu Ying's qualifications at that time were far from sufficient.
As a result, Ge Yong became the emperor's master. Not only did he control the emperor's naughty child, he even helped the emperor to trick her. Whenever she thought about this old incident, she didn't know whether to say it was Emperor Ruizong's unique vision or the pair.
Teachers and students are really perfect for each other.
Now the third prince meets Zhang Shou, who is also full of clever ideas... Will that gentle, respectful and thrifty child be taught bad things?
The Queen Mother shook her head, trying her best not to think about the bad side. Seeing the emperor looking at her in astonishment, she immediately realized that her shaking attitude made the emperor mistakenly think that she disagreed.
She immediately changed the subject with a slight cough and said: "Master Ge said that she changed the name of Zhang Shou to nine chapters. Have you heard? Don't call him by his first name in the future. You want him to be Sanlang's teacher."
, you have to respect him, even if he is Yingying’s husband."
The emperor suddenly laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed: "The teacher's temperament, I originally wanted to give Zhang Shou a crown ceremony, but when Yingying mentioned it, he remembered that since Zhang Shou was an official, he had already worn the crown, so he had to withdraw.
The second best thing is to quickly give someone a nickname. It was Chu Ying who reminded me. He was afraid of losing face and didn't dare to let anyone know."
He did not explain that Ge Yong did not want others to know, so how did he know it? He smiled and said: "In front of courtiers, I will naturally pay more attention to it, but in private... I am old enough to be his father.
So what if I just call him by his name? The teacher is not afraid of others saying that he really dares to use this nickname. Chapter nine... This is really worthy of Zhang Shou."
The Queen Mother immediately said angrily: "Why don't you dare! It's better than you dissatisfied that the initial nickname given to you by Mrs. Ge was not majestic and domineering, so you changed your nickname to Xiong Ba, right?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."
The emperor was immediately choked by the Queen Mother's sudden teasing, and coughed violently. When he finally recovered, he begged for mercy in embarrassment: "Mother, please don't mention this matter? I just didn't mention it at that time.
Thirteen years old, young and ignorant..."
That was the dark history of his life. When he thought that the name "Xiongba" was written generously on the paper by him and then taken home by Ge Yong, he felt heartache, stomachache, liverache, and pain everywhere... He
Why were you so mean in the first place! Just using these two words, Ge Yong made so many demands on him!
The Queen Mother just said something sarcastic. Seeing that the emperor was as embarrassed as a young man, she couldn't help but laugh. After Shi Shiran came down, she said gently: "The harem will no longer be canonized as a queen. Since you have promised to let her go, then
That's fine. But if the third prince wants to be crowned a prince, his biological mother..."
"Let's make her a noble concubine." The emperor said readily, but then added, "Concubine Yu is also promoted to a noble concubine."
"Then after I return to the palace, I will let Yuquan use the seal." The Queen Mother did not dismiss these two things. The third prince's biological mother and concubine were the same as the third prince's previous character, docile and gentle, did not fight with others, and relied on others to come.
It was impossible to help her share the harem affairs. And Princess Yongping refused to share the palace affairs early, so the only choice she could make was Concubine Yu.
"Now that you have made up your mind, let the Hong family assist that girl Yongping to open a girls' school. When the matter of appointing a prince is attracting attention, girls' schools become a trivial matter.
"At this point, the Queen Mother changed her words and said, "It's just that you don't intend to make Yongping single like that Hong family, right?"
When asked about this, the emperor's face suddenly became a little subtle. He looked around for a long time, and finally smiled and said: "Since she doesn't want to, just wait... maybe inadvertently, her peach blossom will be with Ying.
It's just like Ying."
The Queen Mother was immediately filled with suspicion by the Emperor. With this attitude, how could it be that the Emperor had already spotted the person?
