concubines

Chapter 47
In Longde Hall, Zhou Shuxuan has come to pay his respects.

Facing the emperor, he said weakly: "I send my respects to the emperor."

Seeing that he was about to die again, Wang Sheng felt a surge of anger in his heart, one or two of them were all like this, obviously trying to find bad luck for him.

"What happened to you?"

The word "again" made Zhou Shuxuan realize that it was not that simple for the prince to pay his respects, and probably angered the emperor again.

It has nothing to do with him, anyway, the crown prince is the emperor's favorite son, if he gets angry, he won't be angry for long.

So Zhou Shuxuan replied to the emperor indifferently, "My son is fine."

This attitude even aroused the emperor's evil fire, pointing at Zhou Shuxuan and scolding, "You will piss me off sooner or later! I won't be reconciled if you don't piss me off."

The emperor's old problem was committed again, and he was called here just to scold him.Zhou Shuxuan has gotten used to it after so long, let him scold him if he wants to scold, anyway, he won't scold for a few days.

Zhou Shuxuan said respectfully, "I know my mistake."

The colder his attitude, the stronger the emperor's anger.

"This is your attitude towards me? You really want to piss me off, do you think I've lived too long?"

Zhou Shuxuan lost his temper at this time, and entering the room was just to greet him, causing the emperor to repeat a lot of endless words.Rather helplessly, he said: "My son came in just to say hello, why did the emperor do this?"

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the emperor's attitude changed immediately.Almost instantly, the emperor's temper improved a lot.Ask him with a cold face, "I asked you why you were not in a good state just now? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Zhou Shuxuan did not hide it like the prince, but answered frankly, "Last night, the father said that I would send my son to Qiongzhou. I was thinking about spending the last year in the capital. I don't want to go out of Beijing. So I didn't sleep well all night."

This is what the emperor should be angry with, but the emperor's attitude is getting better and better.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at his smiling face, didn't he panic?He doesn't like to be respectful, but likes to say things that make him angry.

"You don't have to go to Qiongzhou, as long as you are willing..." Assistant Prince, I just pretended that I didn't say what I said last night.

"My son is not willing." Zhou Shuxuan said firmly, without giving the emperor a chance to finish his sentence.

He knew it was not good to go to Qiongzhou, but it was even worse to agree to the emperor.Going to Qiongzhou may harm him alone, but agreeing to the emperor will harm everyone in the world.

It's not time to be angry, the emperor should be furious after hearing this.But the emperor was still not angry, instead he said in a negotiating tone: "Think about it again, I will give you a month."

The emperor knew very well that the right to speak was in his hands when he was alive, and the right to speak was in the hands of literati after he died.A hundred years later, what kind of appearance he will appear in the eyes of future generations depends entirely on how those literati's pens are shaken.

Most of the officials in the court and Chinese now appreciate Zhou Shuxuan, and those people privately say that they can see the backbone of a literati from Zhou Shuxuan.If Zhou Shuxuan can agree, maybe those literati will show mercy to him.

Zhou Shuxuan said without any hesitation: "Don't think about it."

Let alone a month, even if you give him another year, it will be the same.

The emperor didn't say any more, "Forget it, I ordered people to move the palace banquet to Liuguangquan. It was the favorite place of your mother and concubine when she was alive. You can help her take a look, and it will be considered as our father-son relationship."

"Heh", Zhou Shuxuan laughed contemptuously, without a trace of expression on his face, and asked with no trace of joy or anger: "Father really thinks that there is a father-son relationship between us?"

In this world, only the prince is the son of the emperor.King Qi's situation is not much different from his.The last time he met the tenth prince by chance, the tenth prince held on to his lapel and didn't let go, he just wanted to ask his father what he looked like.

"You..." The emperor saw that he didn't know how to defend himself, and it took him a long time to say, "I know you very well, but you don't understand me."

"I really don't understand my father. If I knew what the holy will is, I wouldn't be reduced to where I am today."

Zhou Shuxuan is not afraid of anything now, it is impossible for the emperor to impose more severe punishment on him, so naturally he can say whatever he wants.

Zhou Shuxuan added, "Even if I want my son to die, I still want to die clearly."

As far as the emperor is concerned, Zhou Shuxuan is already an abandoned son and is no longer useful, so there is no need to worry about it.

Today is the day when the father and son revealed their hearts for the first time in more than 20 years.

"The queen was only 15 years old when she married me. She was still immature, like a child who hadn't grown up yet. At that time, I was just an unfavored prince. Only when I was a weak crown did I have a humble prince and a ruined one. the palace.

I have today, the queen sold all the dowry, and almost emptied her mother's family to subsidize the palace.She also made many friends herself, and tried her best to build relationships for me.It can be said that if there is no queen, it is not I who is the emperor now, and it is even more impossible to have you.

The empress has worked so hard for me that her body has been damaged at all.I was nearly 30 years old and only conceived a child. When I found out that she was pregnant, I was overjoyed.Day by day, I fantasize about what that child should look like.

I never thought that that child would kill her.Before the formation of the two armies, I bravely killed the enemy, just to return to the capital as soon as possible and see my wife and children.But when I came back, I only saw a new grave.

You don't know how much I hated that day, I wished I could kill the person who killed the queen with my own hands. "

The emperor glanced at Zhou Shuxuan who was listening intently, sighed, and swallowed back the words that had come to his lips.Then he said: "When the prince was a hundred days old, I got a sign. The queen told me in a dream that she wanted Shuchen to be the prince. The queen has been giving for me all her life, and has never asked me for anything. In my whole life, I only I want to fulfill her request."

To Zhou Shuxuan, these deep feelings and righteousness are another big joke.Is the queen the only one who pays for the emperor?
Meng Qianfan advised the emperor day and night, exhausting his body.Before the age of 40, his hair was covered with white hair, as dry as an old man in his sixties.With a bony body, it may be blown away by a strong wind.

Such sacrifices for the emperor, what good did they end up with in the end?
Zhou Shuxuan asked loudly: "Father, in order to satisfy a request, do you want to take the fate of the country?"

The emperor was very calm, and chatted with Zhou Shuxuan calmly, "I have spent almost my whole life for Haiyan, Heqing, Guotai Minan. At the end of my life, is there anything wrong with wanting to do something according to my own wishes?"

Zhou Shuxuan wished he could stand up, grabbed his collar and said: "If Father is just the head of a wealthy family, it is understandable to want to leave the family property to his beloved son. But Father is the head of a country, and he made a wrong decision. Countless people will be harmed. Father, have you thought about this?"

The emperor said frankly: "I have thought about it. For Qingqing, what if I betray the world?"

Faint king!Yongjun!Lord of No Way!

Zhou Shuxuan cursed in his heart, tightly holding the armrest of the wheelchair, suppressing his emotions.It took a long time to slow down, trying to keep my tone as calm as possible.

"The crown prince is not a suitable candidate for the throne, please think twice, father, and stop being obsessed with obsession."

"I know. The prince has a ruthless personality and does everything to the extreme. He is indeed not a suitable candidate to be the emperor. It's a pity..." The emperor looked at Zhou Shuxuan with complicated eyes, "It's a pity that you are not the queen's son."

"Father..."

Zhou Shuxuan still wanted to speak, but the emperor stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Needless to say, I will not change my mind just like you. Go out, you don't need to come here to say hello in the afternoon, just don't be late for the palace banquet in the evening."

Zhou Shuxuan grabbed the handrail and was pushed out unwillingly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He always thought that the emperor was partial to the prince, so he couldn't see the prince's shortcomings.It turned out that he could see everything, but he still insisted on doing so after seeing it.

It was all because of a relationship back then. Could it be that he is really a ruthless person who can't feel how deep the emperor's feelings for the queen are.

Now he only has his family, country and world in his heart, and everything is not that important.

"My lord."

A woman's voice came from far ahead, and Zhou Shuxuan looked up.I saw Miao Li standing in front with a faint smile, wearing palace attire, complementing the palace behind her, looking extremely harmonious.

The faint blood color under the fair face is indescribably beautiful, like a fairy descended from the nine heavens.

He had seen the queen before, and her appearance was less than one-tenth of the person in front of him.A woman like the emperor has haunted the emperor until now, how many souls will this person in front of him take away.

Miao Li looked at his expressionless face, and couldn't read any joy or anger from it, but she still felt a little guilty. Could it be that he was still angry about what happened in the morning?

Miao Li went over to put on a cloak for him, and said with a little flattery in her words: "The slave girl said that for the good of the prince. If the prince disapproves of the slave maid, the slave servant should not do that. The prince must not be angry because of this, worry about anger." Broken body."

Is this to apologize to him?

Now Zhou Shuxuan's heart is filled with the words the emperor said, and he almost forgot what she said.

He didn't have time to sulk with her, Zhou Shuxuan answered him with a straight face, "Is this king that kind of stingy person?"

Miao Li didn't react for a while, she said in a daze, "Yes."

"You say it again?"

Now that Miaoli had realized it, she refused to admit it, and immediately changed her words: "Your maidservant didn't say anything just now."

There was a rare harmony between the two.

On the other side of the palace, the prince inspected around Liuguangquan, called someone over and whispered a few words, and told that person to do something.

Not long after, the man came back.

"Return to Your Highness, everything is ready, and nothing will go wrong."

The prince made a satisfied smile, Zhou Shuxuan that your death day is in the Spring Festival.What a great day to celebrate.
