The happy life of a prodigal

Especially Concubine Shu, who was hesitant to speak, but she still didn't say anything after all.

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Father... Father Emperor... my son dares to say so much, dare to think so much. It's because the father is by my son's side, and the son knows that no matter what happens, you will have the support of the father.

But if you leave, what should I do, my son, my son..."

Speaking of this, I broke down in tears, and then said: "I miss you, I can only see my father after a few days now, and I haven't seen my father this year. You can't go, my father, obviously you haven't made up your mind. I've been with my son, my son... woo woo..."

Speaking of this, sadness came from it, and I was really sobbing.

Concubine Shu stood aside and couldn't help crying when she saw this scene.

Bian Chi and Liu Cheng sighed.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu is no longer as stable as Mount Tai, and the little prince is not as vigorous as usual.

At this critical juncture of their lives, the two have no other identities. Although they still call their father and son, they have completely abandoned the identity of the emperor and the identity of the prince. Just a father, a son.

"Hey......"

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chu couldn't restrain the sadness in his heart, his eyes turned red instantly, looked at Zhao Hao, and said slowly: "People have to grow up, some things can only be done by one person, and there are some roads. , can only go alone.

Father thinks that for so many years, what he has done is worthy of the ancestors and the people of the world, but you... Father always lacks some love... Father hopes that you will Don't blame the emperor..."

Chapter 76 I can rest in peace

"Father..."

Zhao Hao cried out, then broke down again.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Shu couldn't restrain the sadness in her heart, and burst into tears.

Liu Cheng lowered his head, the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Even when Bianchi looked at the scene in front of him, he felt inexplicably panicked in his heart, and didn't know what to say for a while...

At this time, a deep voice suddenly came from outside.

"The Chief Assistant Minister Yan Zhuang asks to see His Majesty!"

Emperor Chu raised his eyes and winked at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng understood immediately, opened the door of the room, took a look, and sure enough, all three cabinet scholars had arrived. First, he saluted respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty welcomes you."

The three grand scholars looked at each other, and they could see the uneasiness in each other's eyes.

It must not be a good thing for His Majesty to summon them suddenly at this time.

Think about it, His Majesty looks more and more haggard these days, even the morning and afternoon hours have been reduced.

Often sit for a while, before discussing how much time, is to leave.

They know that His Majesty has never been a person who loves leisure and hates work. There must be a reason for His Majesty to reduce the time of morning and afternoon courts.

Others may not know the reason, but the three academicians can vaguely guess some reasons in their hearts.

The poisonous Gu in His Majesty's body has existed for more than a year...

The three of them walked into the house.

After searching around, he saw His Majesty on the bed with a haggard face.

Although they had prepared themselves to a certain extent, the three of them couldn't help being startled when they saw this scene, and then they showed mournful expressions and saluted one after another: "I will see you, Your Majesty!"

The Emperor Chu looked at them, forced a smile, and said, "For decades, I have never met my subjects like this, and this is the first time for you three elders..."

This joke did not make the three great scholars feel better.

On the contrary, their hearts are even heavier.

Decades of friendship between monarchs and ministers allowed them to know His Majesty very well.

The more you lift the weight lightly, the more it means that the matter has reached the point of no return.

With the posture in front of him, the eunuch Liu Cheng, concubine Shu, prince Hao, and three cabinet scholars, Bianchi imperial doctor, clearly want to support Gu.

Those who shouldn't have come didn't come.

Everyone present, even the imperial doctor Bianchi, has a need for his existence.

As for what should come... it seems that they are not all there.

No matter how you look at it, if Tuo Gu is the case, An Guogong should also be present.

However, considering the many things that happened before, it is completely understandable that An Guogong was not present.

Yan Zhuang was the first to speak, "These days, apart from the intrusion of some pirates in the southeast, inside and outside the court, Haiyan and Heqing, your Majesty can cultivate well. Your Majesty must put the dragon body as the most important thing... ..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: "I've heard you nagging for half my life, and now I'm lying on this bed, do you still want to nagging?"

"..."

When Yan Zhuang heard this, for some reason, he felt sad and lowered his head. His eyes were red in his 70s.

yes......

When His Majesty was a child, he was the head of the Ministry of Rites. It was the first time he saw His Majesty. Although he knew that His Majesty was not the eldest son of the emperor, nor the eldest son of the first line, he still had a strong feeling that this was His Majesty in the future.

Later, His Majesty was established as the Crown Prince, and he was already the Minister of Rites, and he was also the Prince's Shao Fu. At that time, he followed His Majesty, who was still the Crown Prince, with ups and downs, and I don't know how many ups and downs we have faced together.

Later, from the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and then to the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, until His Majesty ascended the throne, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. After five years, he entered the cabinet and stepped up to the position of Chief Assistant. It has been in this position for more than ten years.

In the past ten years, he has had quarrels with His Majesty, and there have been times when they have different opinions, but generally speaking, the friendship between the two has surpassed that of monarchs and ministers, and even surpassed that of master and apprentice...

But now...

Hey......

Your Majesty is clearly in his prime, but he was poisoned by the poisonous Gu technique...

Yan Zhuang suppressed his tears, stood upright, saluted respectfully, and said, "I know I was wrong."

For so many years, this was the first time he had admitted his mistake to the emperor.

When Emperor Chu heard this, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Yan Ge, I really didn't expect that in the end, I could hear you admit my mistake."

"Your Majesty..." Yan Zhuang opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But Emperor Chu waved his hand and said: "I know what you are going to say, it is nothing more than those commonplace things, I tell you, I am never afraid of death, so don't say those comforting words.

This person is going to die after all, so I have lived a relatively long life, of course I can't compare with you, Mr. Yan Ge..."

Having said that, he laughed again.

Yan Zhuang and the others couldn't laugh.

"If I died ten years ago, I would not be reconciled, and I would not rest in peace. If I died a day ago, I would not be reconciled, and I would not rest in peace, but now that I die, I can rest in peace. Haoer, you go to the emperor Come......"

"Father..."

Zhao Hao called out to Emperor Chu, and obediently walked to his side.

When the three elders saw this scene, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they instantly realized the meaning of His Majesty's words.

Prince Hao is going to be the crown prince, there is almost no doubt about it.

However, there is one thing that is in the heart of His Majesty, not only the heart of His Majesty, but also the heart of the three of them.

It is the relationship between Prince Hao and Duke An.

The two of them are called master and apprentice, but their relationship is even better than that of master and apprentice. It can even be said that in Prince Hao's heart, besides His Majesty, Concubine Shu and Princess An Le, they are Duke An.

This is a well-known fact, but An Guogong is a powerful minister, holding a lot of power, even His Majesty can hardly suppress him.

If Prince Hao ascended the throne, what would Duke An do?

Who can suppress An Guogong?

Not to mention that An Guogong is now the Duke of the state, and he already controls the court, commerce, academies, post stations, Shenji Camp, etc...

As far as his reputation is concerned, how could Prince Hao be able to suppress it?

Now there is another title of emperor teacher. From then on, the people of Chu State may not know His Majesty, but only know An Guogong.

It is precisely because of this that His Majesty has not established a crown prince for a long time.

However, now His Majesty said that he could rest in peace.

In other words, His Majesty is very satisfied with Prince Hao's performance, no, it can't be said to be very satisfied, it should be extremely satisfied?

What did Prince Hao say to His Majesty, and His Majesty praised him so much that even if he died instantly, he would be able to rest in peace?

Thinking of this, the three Cabinet Scholars all looked at Zhao Hao, with flashes of light in their eyes.

The first thousand and seventy-seventh chapter An Guogong is not rebellious

The Emperor Chu touched Zhao Hao's head, then looked at the three great scholars, and said, "Remember, these three old fellows in front of you will be your right-hand man and your ministers from now on. Someone you can trust.

If you encounter something and cannot judge or make a decision, you can listen to the opinions of the three of them.

At the same time, remember what your father said to you before, and believe that what you are doing is the right thing, there is no conflict between the two.

There is one more thing Father wants to tell you, if you listen to both, you will be clear, if you believe partly, you will be dark. There are some things that you can't think about alone, and you can't just listen to one person, remember? "

Hearing this, Zhao Hao wiped away his tears, realized something, nodded heavily, and said firmly: "I remember, if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you believe partly, you will be dark. This minister will listen to the opinions of the three masters, and you will know what to do." Make up your own mind."

This first sentence is separated from the second sentence.

It means that if the opinions of the three masters are good, he will listen to them, and if he feels inappropriate, he can make his own decision.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu smiled gratifiedly.

When the three academicians heard this, their eyes were filled with astonishment.

You know, how old is Prince Hao? After all, he is still a child, and he was a child who never thought that he could become the crown prince...

Now, seeing His Majesty like this, although it is grief, he can still stabilize his mentality, not only can he stabilize, but also respond, but the response is very good, he has his own opinions, instead of following the trend, saying Some useless words that you will be fine, father.

He didn't say anything like letting the three masters decide in the future.

Just this point made the three great scholars look at each other with admiration.

You know, having your own opinion and being as stable as Mount Tai, these two points are the necessary qualities for a monarch.

And these two points, Prince Hao possessed all of them at such a young age.

that's enough......

Especially Yan Zhuang, with a look of relief on his face.

To be honest, his previous attention was all on the two princes Kang Wang and Ning Wang.

Seeing the performance of Kang Wang and Ning Wang, he often lamented.

The two princes are just worse than anyone else. In comparison, King Kang may be slightly better, but that's all.

Maybe he can be a middle-of-the-road king, but if he makes a little mistake, he may become a fatuous king.

However, at this moment, from Prince Hao, he saw something different.

He felt that Prince Hao possessed some qualities of a Mingjun.

It's like seeing His Majesty today through the crowd on that afternoon decades ago.

He had a strong feeling that Prince Hao would become a wiser monarch than His Majesty.

Emperor Chu nodded and praised: "That's very good. If you can really do what you said before, and you can only remember what your father told you, then your father will leave now and you can rest in peace. .”

When Zhao Hao heard this, his heart felt like a stabbing pain, his eyes were filled with tears in an instant, and then the tears couldn't help but slipped down his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Father... son My... my son, I can't bear to let you go..."

At the beginning, he was like an adult, able to hold back his grief, but after saying this, he burst into tears, like a child again.

Seeing this scene, the three cabinet scholars also felt inexplicably sad in their hearts, sighed leisurely, and said nothing.

The Emperor Chu touched his little head, looked at the three great scholars again, and said in a deep voice, "Today, I entrust the great Chu Jiangshan to you..."

As soon as the words fell, the three great scholars knelt down in unison: "The ministers must do their best and die!"

The friendship between the monarch and his ministers has allowed them to abandon those red tapes.

The Emperor of Chu said again: "My body should last a few more days, these days, the news that I am seriously ill, don't spread it...

After you go back, start drafting an imperial edict, choose a good day and auspicious day, if there is no such auspicious day, just let it go, and quickly establish the matter of the crown prince..."

"I understand." The three elders said in unison again.
