Chapter 90 You are not expected to be an emperor
The two imperial physicians left in a hurry, Zheng and Disheng were in pain all night, until dawn, Nian Yu's wine finally woke up, and helped him get an needle to relieve the pain.

After the pain stopped, Zheng Hedi fell asleep without even waiting to take a bath and change clothes.

The imperial concubine Jiufang who was supposed to wait for him to take a bath saw that he had fallen asleep, so she waved her hand and asked the palace servants to wait for him to wipe his body. She yawned and said to Nian Yu, "I can barely keep my eyes open. Yes, don't disturb the emperor, you take care of it here."

Nian Yu agreed, and the imperial concubine Jiufang went to the side hall. She had just showered and groomed, loosened her hair and went to bed, when Nian Yu came in.

She yawned lazily and squinted at him, "What are you doing here now?"

Nian Yu wiped away the water from the corners of her eyes, and said with a low smile, "Yesterday I said that I would go out to build a palace and raise a doll to play with. Your Majesty seems unhappy, but why?"

Concubine Jiufang slapped his hand away in disdain, "Who is unhappy? You hurry up, so as not to get in the way of my eyes here!"

Nian Yu giggled, "Your Majesty said this, then I will really leave the palace to build a mansion, and find a beautiful girl to raise a doll to play with."

Concubine Jiufang's complexion changed slightly, but she refused to admit defeat, and waved her hands repeatedly, "Go, go, I'm sleepy."

She thought that Nianyu was going to coax her a few more words, but she didn't expect that Nianyu really left.

She stayed there for a while, then fell on the pillow in a slump. She looked at him in the past, but he was very knowledgeable and interesting. If he should leave, he would leave immediately.

I just left today!

It must be intentional!
She won't sulk and tell him to get his way!
She is sleeping now, sleeping soundly and beautifully!
Seeing him in a radiant and radiant spirit after waking up, and letting him know that he wants to make her angry, that's impossible!
Concubine Jiufang thought viciously, closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep, until the palace servant came to call, she suddenly realized that it was already noon.

"Your Majesty, the Nian's palm print says that the Emperor is about to wake up, so I asked your Majesty if he would go and have a look."

For a moment, the noble concubine Jiufang really wanted to say no willfully, and then curse to let that dead old man die!

But in the end, she still got up, still wearing the clothes from last night, the makeup and hairpins were useless, she casually put on a bun and went to the main hall.

Sure enough, after a while, Emperor Zhenghe woke up, and the imperial concubine Jiufang sat on the bed. When she saw him wake up, she called out to the emperor in surprise, and she shed tears that had been stored all morning.

She didn't sleep all night, and she lay down all morning but didn't fall asleep at all. At this time, she looked pale and haggard, her eyes were bruised and ink was almost bleeding out, but her eye sockets were red, and she looked worried and frightened for him.

Zheng Hedi only felt his heart soften, and took her hand to comfort her, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Last night was so dangerous, she didn't cry, but now that he's healed, she cried instead, which shows her sincerity.

Nian Yu asked for his pulse, and ordered light porridge and snacks.

Zheng Hedi had a poor appetite, so he put it down after a few mouthfuls, and asked, "Is it because of those glasses of wine?"

Nian Yu shook his head in doubt, "It doesn't look like it either, logically speaking, it's only a few glasses of wine, so it won't happen.

Has the emperor been overly worried recently?And whether there are other changes in diet and daily life? "

The imperial concubine Jiufang was angry, "If you say that you worry too much, there must be some! Who doesn't know that the emperor has been worrying and worrying about the mess in the East Palace every day these days!
However, just as the crown prince lifted his foot restraint yesterday, His Majesty's headache suddenly flared up, so he might be the one who won it! "

"No nonsense!"

The noble concubine Jiufang was not afraid of him, and stood up angrily, "If you don't say it, don't say it, the concubine doesn't care, let His Royal Highness serve you!"

The imperial concubine of Jiufang said that she really left with her handkerchief, Zheng Hedi was dumbfounded.

Nian Yu smiled and said, "Ladies, His Highness the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, Princess Mancheng, and the empresses of various palaces have come several times. The servants are afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest, so they dare not ask them to come in. The emperor will see?"

Emperor Zhenghe shook his head and smiled wryly, "Forget it, I'm fine now, let them all go about their own affairs and don't worry about me."

It's okay for him to be left and right, and calling the prince in will definitely make her unhappy again, so forget it.

Pity her for worrying about herself, but it's not good to make her sulk...

……

……

The matter of Mrs. Luo entering the palace to teach Xiao Mingzhao was quickly settled, and Emperor Zhenghe appointed two children from aristocratic families who were about the same age to accompany him as tutors.

Half a month later, Emperor Zhenghe came to check Xiao Mingzhao's homework, and asked Grand Tutor Luo, "What do you think of Brother Zhao's talent?"

Mrs. Luo said respectfully, "The second prince is very smart."

Zheng He Di frowned, "I don't need to listen to those clichés."

Taifu Luo lowered his eyes, "The old minister dare not lie to the emperor with false words, but the two companions of the second prince are too evasive, so it's better to choose one who is stable and studious."

Emperor Zhenghe looked him up and down, didn't say much, went to Changchun Palace in the evening and asked Xiao Mingzhao what he had learned.

Xiao Mingzhao replied honestly, "Taifu taught his ministers to read poems, and also taught them to play the piano."

Zheng Hedi asked again, "How about your two companions?"

"It's all good," Xiao Mingzhao replied hesitantly, "It's just that they don't want to learn poetry, and they don't want to learn piano. They say that they will take the imperial examination in the future and become officials, which is different from ministers."

In the future, the prince will also leave the capital to take over the country and govern a piece of land!

Instead of studying history books, criminal law, art and articles, what kind of poetry and guqin are you studying every day!
Emperor Zhenghe was already angry, but he didn't show it on his face, he patted Xiao Mingzhao's head comfortingly, "Father knows, after a while, Father will give you two companions to read."

The next day, Master Luo was called into the South Study Room as soon as he entered the palace.

Emperor Zhenghe didn't excuse him, and asked blankly, "I entrust you with the important task of teaching the prince, but you fooled the second prince with some playful things, what should you do?"

Mrs. Luo paused, then leaned over and knelt down, "The emperor forgives the crime, the prince is full of criticism, the second prince is intelligent and enlightened, I am afraid it is not the blessing of the society, the emperor please think twice."

Zheng Hedi was dumbfounded, he almost didn't sleep all night, thinking over and over again what was the plan of this unfathomable old man in front of him, he didn't expect to ask these words——

Emperor Zhenghe once again felt constrained, not by the constraints of the old man in front of him like he did in the first four years of his ascension to the throne, but by his powerlessness against this court like chess and the people of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

He tried his best to be a wise king, but his people and courtiers still disregarded his will and criticized and scolded the prince he had trained for more than 20 years!
He wants to cultivate his youngest son, but even Mr. Yanjing has to consider whether he will make the courtiers move and the common people shake!
He dotes on the noble concubine Jiufang, but he doesn't even dare to make her a queen!
He was afraid of the upheaval of the government, the changes in the frontier, and the rebellion of his uncle who was not as old as his son!

He has never had the confidence to be the emperor!

Xianxiao Dingdi, his imperial grandfather, refused to make him a great-grandson for a long time during his lifetime.

Even in the last year before his death, all kinds of arrangements were made for Huo Yanzhi who was still a flesh and blood at that time.

What he wants to establish is his beloved son, not his grandson!
It's a pity that he failed to fight for his life, and failed to survive until Huo Yanzhi landed.

Emperor Zhenghe remembered the last words that Emperor Xiaoding told him before his death, and he said, "You have to remember that you are not made to be an emperor, and the biggest advantage is that you don't have any hobbies that can harm the common people.

Luo Changqing is still young, and he can assist you for at least 20 years. You remember the four characters of monarchs and ministers do not doubt, and use them in him, obediently follow my path, so that your country can sit safely."

Emperor Zhenghe wanted to clap his hands and laugh. His imperial grandfather was absurd for half his life. In his later years, because a woman learned to restrain himself, he began to learn to be a wise king.

But even after learning how to be a wise king, he still wantonly promotes and rewards the descendants of the clan!
The children of the Huo family and the Lian family are all in high positions, even a disabled Huo Jie can enter the court as an official, and what he does is still in charge of the Imperial Academy!

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

Such a stupid king, what face does he have to say that he is not made to be an emperor?
How could he listen to him?
What he said was high-sounding, but everything was just for a woman and the puddle of flesh and blood in that woman's stomach!
Why should he listen to him?

Why does the world of his Xiao family let the people of the Huo family enjoy themselves?
Only at this moment, looking at the old man with gray temples but not changing his character, he was puzzled for the first time.

If he obediently acted according to the last words of the emperor's grandfather, reused him, and did not suspect him, would he really be able to stabilize the country instead of struggling like he is now?

Emperor Zhenghe was silent for a long time, the old man who was kneeling on the ground straightened up and took off the gauze cap from his head, and put it on the floor in front of him, "I am old, please resign from the position of Taifu."

Serve?

He really wished that he would get away and not get in his way again!
What's the use of becoming an official?

He has stayed away from the court for so many years, when the East Palace was in turmoil and thieves were everywhere in the green forest, he just met his face, and calmed the court and the public with a few clever words!
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhenghe's face became even more gloomy, "The Taifu will be in his early sixties, it's too early to say he's old, let's kneel down."

This is the veteran who created the Xiaoding Zhongxing with one hand, and he can't help but be kind and honorable.

It's just that soon, Xianyu is becoming more and more famous, and after a few more years of training, he will be able to replace him. He has to be patient...

……

……

Taifu Luo failed to resign from his position as Taifu, and taught Xiao Mingzhao step by step according to the will of Emperor Zhenghe.

According to his wishes, Emperor Zhenghe replaced one of Xiao Mingzhao's accompanying readers with Hua Ping'an.

In fact, he still wanted to replace the other with Su Li, but Su Xianyu was definitely not willing to do so.

Secondly, he recalled that when Xiao Ming studied under Mrs. Luo together with Huo Jie and Su Xianyu, he was overshadowed and even got a "mediocre" reputation, so he finally let go of this idea.

Although Brother Zhao is smart, he dare not compare Brother Zhao with Su Xianyu's children.

Comparable, even if it is evenly divided, that's all. If they can't compare, they will definitely get another "mediocre" title.

Even though he's only the second son, it's okay to be mediocre.

But he only has two sons, one is mediocre and the other is mediocre, what will the world think of him as an old man?

……

……

When Xiao Mingshi heard that Emperor Zhenghe gave Hua Ping'an as Xiao Mingzhao's companion to read, he was so angry that he dropped the pen in his hand and broke a piece of big characters he had just written.

Concubine Wen hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe his ink-splattered hands, and persuaded softly, "Your Highness, don't worry, no matter how favored Concubine Xiao and the Second Prince are, they are nothing more than noble concubines and concubines, and they are no better than you, the prince." ".

Since Wang Miao'er went to Lishan, Xiao Mingshi had handed over the affairs of the Eastern Palace to Concubine Wen, and there was a faint head of the Eastern Palace who was headed by her.

If Wang Miaoer heard the news, she would probably only say that if His Highness can work hard and stand upright, even if he can't make great achievements, as long as he has no merits and faults, he will not be afraid of anyone.

Concubine Wen only said that Concubine Xiao Gui and Xiao Mingzhao were not good, and Xiao Ming restrained his anger a little when he heard this, but he still hated it.

He wanted to say that Zheng Hedi spoiled them too much, but he didn't dare, so he just snorted heavily.

Concubine Wen personally waited on him to wash his hands, and re-paved the pen and ink for him, and said with a smile, "How does the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon? Your Highness doesn't care about those small shrimps and crabs. Only do the errands assigned by the emperor." It's straight."

Although Emperor Zhenghe let him out, he still felt that he was too hostile and asked him to copy the "Qingxin Mantra" twice a day.

Xiao Mingshi impatiently waved his hands away, "I'm not going to copy it anymore, I'm a prince who is supposed to deal with state affairs, what's so good about copying this broken scripture?"

Concubine Wen's wonderful eyes flowed, she sat down in front of the desk, and stuck out her tongue at Xiao Ming playfully, "His Royal Highness, take a look."

Xiao Ming became interested, and sure enough, he went to see it. As soon as Concubine Wen wrote the first word, he let out a cry of surprise.

Concubine Wen didn't look at her, and continued to write, but the words were exactly the same as his handwriting!
Xiao Mingshi was both surprised and delighted, he hurriedly grabbed her hand, "How do you know this skill?"

Concubine Wen threw herself into his arms, and said softly, "I was raised as a man at home, and since I was a child, I followed my elder brother to manage the family's business, and even the old accountants would be willing to bow down to them when they calculated their calculations.

After entering the East Palace, he would be able to take advantage of His Highness's favor and not need to worry about chores any more, so he would be completely free. His Highness was also involved in state affairs, so he couldn't come here from time to time.

The concubine copied His Highness's handwriting when she had nothing to do, and chatted to pass the time. I don't think it will come in handy today! "

That handwriting that is almost exactly the same as his is not something that can be practiced overnight!

Xiao Mingshi didn't expect that she would be so attached to him, his heart was hot, he didn't care about the "Pure Heart Curse", he picked her up and ran into the room.

When he woke up, he found that the moon outside the window had already risen to mid-air, the lights in the room had already been turned off, only a glazed gauze lantern in the corner was emitting a faint light, but Concubine Wen by the pillow had gone somewhere.

Xiao Mingshi sat up and called for someone. Two maids came in with palace lanterns in their hands. One of them walked quickly to the side of the bed and raised the curtain, asking, "Your Highness is going to wake up at night?"

Xiao Mingshi nodded, "What time is it? Where's your empress?"

"Just after the child passed, the empress said that she would finish the "Curse of Purifying the Heart", so she went to the study for fear of disturbing His Highness's rest, and told her to rest in the study tonight, so that the servants will take good care of her."

Xiao Mingshi's heart was hot, he ordered supper to eat, after eating, he ordered to change his clothes and go to find the concubine Wen.

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "The side concubine said that His Highness is entangled in state affairs, which is the most difficult thing.

The empress rested in the study because she was afraid of disturbing His Highness's rest, and if His Highness went to look for her at this time, she would actually make her feel guilty."

Xiao Mingshi thought for a moment that this was the truth, so he didn't insist on it.

The maid got up and put on the cloak to protect him from the cold, another maid made the bed, turned around and led Xiao Mingshi to the bed.

As soon as she turned around, Xiao Ming realized that the two palace maids were born exactly alike, so he couldn't help asking, "You are twins, just entered the palace?"

The maid replied respectfully, "Yes, the concubine is weak, and Uncle Wen feared that the concubine could not take good care of His Highness, so he sent the servants into the palace to work in the concubine's house."

Xiao Ming knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, he beckoned the two maids to come closer.
