The three princes came forward, and the monk handed over the blessing bags marked with their names one by one.
"Thank you, Master Imperial Master." The three of them thanked them.
The monk smiled, accepted the bow from the three princes, and retreated to the side with the box in his arms.
The emperor raised his hand and signaled to the three kings: "Open it and see what the Buddhist verse says?"
The three of them each opened the lucky bag and took out a narrow piece of paper. King Yan said: "Mine is a piece of dust that enters Samadhi."
The emperor smiled and nodded, and everyone around him also whispered.
"Xiurong, where's yours?" the emperor asked.
Chu Xiurong recited his own words: "A wise man can understand that the nature of sin is empty."
The emperor nodded again and said hello.
King Lu didn't wait for the emperor to ask, and hurriedly said: "Father, my answer is, you will know when you are careful, isn't it also good?"
Didn’t he know if it was good? He saw that he hadn’t studied hard. The emperor glared at him. People around him had already begun to talk about the Buddhist verses of the three princes, laughing and praising their exquisiteness. “This is really good. We
You should also ask for one." "It's not easy to ask for Buddhist verses written by the national master himself."
The main hall became lively. The emperor's eyes swept over and saw the prince standing over at some point, talking to the monk, and taking something. The prince's expression was a little complicated——
"What's wrong?" asked the emperor, "What are you talking about?"
The emperor's voice came, and the prince was slightly startled. All the eyes in the palace also looked over. His hand subconsciously moved behind his back, but the next moment he slowly took it back. He took a step forward and raised his hand to pull the two
The lucky bag is displayed in front of everyone.
Is there a prince too? Isn't it just celebrating the newly crowned three kings? Everyone is a little curious.
The emperor frowned slightly, but when he was about to say something, the prince had already knelt down and said, "Father, my son is guilty. I secretly asked the imperial master for a blessing bag."
I asked for it privately, but it is understandable. The prince was named the prince right after he was born. At that time, the country was unstable and the princes and kings were watching eagerly. Your Majesty was not in the mood to celebrate, for fear of offending the princes and princes. Naturally, the emperor also regarded the prince as the prince.
I prayed for it, but it was just not as impressive as it is now.
The prince probably envied his brothers, so he also wanted a lucky bag.
The emperor's expression softened slightly: "It's because I didn't think carefully enough to ask for one for you. Brothers, you should also be happy to be crowned king. As the eldest brother, you should stand up and speak."
King Yan hurriedly came forward to help, but the prince did not get up. He lowered his head and said: "My son, I am not asking for myself, but for my fifth brother——"
Fifth Prince, the atmosphere in the palace stagnated, and the emperor's face sank.
"Chu Jinrong." He shouted in a deep voice. He finally swallowed what he wanted to say, got up and walked to the other side, "come with me."
The prince got up and followed the emperor into the room next to him. The door was closed to block everyone's sight. Even if the emperor wanted to reprimand the prince, he would not be willing to do it in public. Everyone, look at me and I look at you. The prince is really favored by the saint. Don't worry, nothing will happen.
Yes, the atmosphere in the palace relaxed.
Chu Xiurong lowered his gaze and looked at the Buddhist verse in his hand. A wise man can know that sin is empty. He smiled slightly.
"Third brother, the prince and the fifth brother are biological brothers after all." King Yan advised him softly from the side, "He made a huge mistake, and the prince still cares about him. Don't be too sad."
Chu Xiurong nodded to him: "Thank you, second brother, I understand everything."
King Yan was very satisfied with his brother's demeanor: "As long as you understand, it's good."
Chu Xiurong withdrew his gaze, gently folded the Buddhist verses and put them into the blessing bag. He understood, but people would still miss, feel sad, angry, angry, and hateful. The prince was a human being with such seven emotions and six desires. He Chu Xiurong
Isn’t Rong a human being?
.....
.....
"Chu Jinrong!" With no outsiders present, the emperor could no longer control his temper and shouted angrily, "Today is your third brother's happy day! Why are you bringing up that evil obstacle!"
The prince knelt down and cried: "Father, I am not mentioning my fifth brother at this moment, I am just asking for a blessing bag for my fifth brother, and I am not asking the national master to send it today -"
The emperor became even more angry: "Is this all the fault of the Imperial Master?"
The prince shook his head: "I didn't mean that, I meant -" He finally said no more and leaned over, "I was wrong, please punish me."
He lowered his head to the ground and bowed heavily, his voice choked with sobs.
He stopped defending, and the emperor couldn't curse anymore. He looked at his son who was kneeling on the ground crying and sighed helplessly.
In fact, there is nothing surprising. The other three were crowned kings and received blessings. How could the prince not miss the fifth prince, who was his direct brother. Even if he committed a serious crime, even if the others were his brothers, they would be different if they were different.
Ah, this is also human nature.
If the prince really abandoned his biological brother, the emperor would have nothing to be happy about. Instead, he would have to re-examine his eldest son.
But human nature shouldn't be taken too far.
"What do you want to do?" The emperor said coldly with a straight face, "Do you want him to come out and be crowned king? Stop this idea as soon as possible. In your eyes, he is your brother, but in his eyes
, no one else is his brother, I don’t have such a son.”
The prince raised his head and choked with tears: "Father, I really don't ask for anything. I just want to give him a blessing bag and let him concentrate on reforming his past. My original intention is to go to the Imperial Preceptor after today."
Take it there, I didn’t expect that the Imperial Master would also send it—"
The emperor looked at him for a moment, and his eyes fell on his hands. The prince's hand was holding a blessing bag.
"Why two?" the emperor asked. Did he also ask for the queen?
The prince turned his palm over, and two blessing bags lay quietly in his palm: "One is what I asked for for my fifth brother, and the other was given to my sixth brother by the Imperial Master."
Yes, in addition to the fifth prince, the emperor also had a son who was not crowned king and was kept alone in the palace. The emperor was silent for a moment. There was a name on the lucky bag. The prince did not lie.
The emperor added: "The imperial master asked the monk to give it to you privately."
In fact, the prince didn't want to make any announcement. He was the one who shouted it out. The prince didn't dare to hide it from him, so he made it clear, and -
"Since the imperial master has given Yu Rong's property to you privately." The emperor's eyes fell on the prince's hand, "Obviously he wants you to give it in your name. Why didn't you just say that you begged both of them?
Already?"
In this case, he is a good brother who cares about his two younger brothers. Although it is inappropriate, he cannot be too accusatory.
The prince lowered his head and said: "Father, I did not care about my sixth brother, nor did I think of asking for a blessing bag for him. I am so selfish and unworthy of being a good brother, let alone deceiving my father in the name of my sixth brother.
"
The emperor looked at him and snorted: "You are sincere."
The prince lowered his head and said nothing.
"Okay, get up." The emperor said, "It's true that you didn't think well this time. Fortunately, the imperial master made it right for you."
The prince raised his head, with a look of shame on his face, hesitating and not moving: "Father, my son, I—"
The emperor interrupted him: "Is there any mistake that I will admit later and delay their happy day?"
The prince stood up quickly and answered yes.
The emperor took the two lucky bags held by the prince and strode out. The prince straightened his back and looked at the emperor's back. A sarcastic and disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately put it away and followed.
