Imperial study room

The Supreme Emperor was sitting behind the table, Qingming was still kneeling on the ground.

"Raise your head." Taishang Huang calmed down the anger in his heart and said.

Qingming straightened up when he heard the words.

"Now there is no third person here except you and me. Please tell me the whole thing clearly and completely. When did the two of you start? How long has it been? Who started first? Where is it?"

The corners of Qingming's mouth twitched, and he said, "It started more than a month after Erchen returned to the imperial capital, and it has continued until now, more than half a year, I started first..."

"Go on."

"What should be done...have been done."

"Bastard!!!" The Taishang Huang was so angry that his whole body trembled, he brushed the memorial on the table to the ground, then raised his hand and threw the inkstone out.

The inkstone fell beside Qingming and shattered in two, the ink inside splashed all over his face and body, and the white dragon robe was instantly stained, just like his current state of mind, which was gradually covered by darkness.

"I will start choosing a concubine tomorrow, and I will choose a concubine for me immediately. I am too tolerant and slack towards you, and let you do such a dirty thing. Fortunately, you are still the king of a country. I was blind at the beginning." I will choose you as the crown prince!"

"Father, we are sincere, and my son loves him." After saying these words, even he himself was startled.

Even Qingming himself didn't expect that he would admit that he liked Han Tuo for the first time under such circumstances, but after being surprised, the rest was calm, "Actually, Erchen originally planned to let go when it was time to let go." Let go, according to the original plan to choose a concubine to be the queen, from now on, he is a subject, I am the king, nothing else, but now, my son finds that his son can't let him go."

"So? Are you planning to give up the throne and the country now?" The Supreme Emperor asked him mercilessly.

Qingming froze for a moment, then calmly said, "If this relationship is not tolerated in the world, I am willing to give up everything now."

"Including your princely status?"

"……Yes."

The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at this son carefully, as if he didn't know him.

The so-called depth of love, responsibility.

How trusting I was before, how disappointed I am now.

He thought he had picked a prince who was least like the Ji family, but he didn't expect that after going around, he would eventually become a complete Ji family. Sure enough, the bloodline cannot be changed.

"In almost every generation of Ji's royal family, there will be a few rebels who want to abandon their status as princes and become the descendants of ordinary people. In the early years, this situation was very serious. A large number of royal blood was lost and scattered among the people.

Later, in a generation, a prince fell in love with a girl from a brothel, and was opposed by everyone because of discord in etiquette, so he simply demoted himself to a commoner, but who knew that the woman only loved his wealth and status, and it was said that he became a commoner , he ignored him, so the disheartened prince returned to the royal family, worked hard, and finally became the monarch of that generation.

Later, starting from that generation, he set the rules: Ji's descendants are not allowed to leave the royal family at will, unless they kneel and climb from the foot of the ancestral mausoleum to the top of the mountain within three days.

Since then, the number of princes who proposed to leave the royal family has decreased a lot. Of course, there are indeed people who have passed such a test, but they are only a small number. After all, there are 330 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. One-tenth of it could not climb, and even if it did, its legs would be useless, and in serious cases, it would even almost lose its life.

If you decide to degrade yourself into a commoner, you also have to go through this test. "

"Yes." Qing Ming knew this a long time ago, and of course he was mentally prepared.

"Even if you lose your life?"

"Yes."

"If you just abandon your responsibility like this, what will Dazhou's country do?"

"Restore Zigui's identity, pass the throne to him, and at the same time designate the second brother as the regent to assist the government. The senior brother is also a student of the teacher, and has learned a lot about the way of being a king. In some respects, he is not inferior to the son-in-law. He will be a wise king; although the second elder brother is foolish, he is cunning, witty and cunning, which can just make up for the shortcomings of the senior brother, and the two of them will work together to govern a peaceful and prosperous world without any problems."

"Okay, okay, he is really my 'good' son! He has even arranged the escape route!" The Supreme Emperor couldn't help but sarcastically, and then sneered, "Yes, I agree with your decision."

Qingming looked at the Supreme Emperor in surprise, "Father~"

"Don't be too happy, Yue Huang," the Supreme Emperor said coldly, "Since you have demoted yourself to a commoner, it means that no one in this world can protect Han Tuo. If he suddenly abdicated, he would have to give an explanation to the common people. How could I let him go so easily after abducting my son! Just charge him with murdering the royal family, and he will never recover."

"Father, you can't!" Qing Ming exclaimed.

"Why can't I! Don't think that he is a major general with outstanding merits, and I can't move him. It doesn't matter if there is a change in the Rong clan. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. As long as you use gold, silver, and power as temptations, you are afraid that you will not be able to move." Are there generals? Besides, the old general Han is still there, are you afraid that you won’t be able to train another general? Of course, you don’t have to worry about old Han. I understand him. , his grandson has already made a mistake, even if I want to punish him, he won't be able to stop him."

Qingming listened to his words, the blood on his face faded little by little.

"Do you think that I will let you get what you want if you demote yourself to a commoner? To this day, Yue Huang, you are still so naive, as expected, you are still too young. What, are you still planning to 'abdicate to the virtuous'?" the Supreme Emperor sneered. Looking at the bloodless son.

"Of course, it's okay to give you a chance." He said again suddenly.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Qingming's eyes, and he looked at his father with hope.

"I'll give you 20 years to train me to be an excellent successor. After that, it's up to you whether you want to like men or degrade yourself into a commoner."

Qing Ming didn't agree immediately, because he knew that this opportunity was not that simple.

"The heir must be of royal blood. Naturally, you can bring up a child from your brother. However, I can accept it, but the ministers can't accept it, and neither can the common people, because people with congenital deficiencies cannot become emperors." , If you can ascend the throne, it proves that you have no deficiencies, no deficiencies, why can't you get married and have children, why do you have to adopt your brother's children? Any move of yours may lead to a series of questions. You probably don't want to answer They, the reason is that you don't love women, right? When the time comes, not only your majesty will be swept away, but the face of the entire royal family will be trampled under your feet. This is absolutely intolerable to me."

"Therefore, you must marry and have children, which also means that you have to cut off your relationship with him. After all, the women in the harem are very sensitive, and it will be a big trouble if some ugly rumors spread at that time.

Once you start a family, he must also start a family, just like what Han Lao said, he also has to carry on the family and inherit the incense. 20 years is enough time to change a lot of things.At that time, even if you still love him, can you be sure that he still loves you?Will he abandon his wife and children for you, a man, and become an irresponsible person? "

"During these 20 years, you can't tell this to a third person, that is to say, it's a secret between you and me. Without any reason, if you can't explain it, you have to abandon him , cut off the relationship between you, do you think he will forgive you? Will he continue to love you? Even if he will always love you, but who can guarantee that he can stick to it for 20 years and look at your father and son every day? Filial piety, three thousand beauties, enjoying the glory of the monarch, won't he ever give up in despair?"

"How is it? Yue Huang," the Supreme Emperor looked at him, "What's your answer?"

"My son agrees."

"Don't you have to think about it for a few more days?"

"No need."

"Very well, let's do it like this. Remember the agreement just now. As for your punishment, let's forget it. After all, you are also the king of a country. I, a resigned Supreme Emperor, can't punish you without reason." And, that condition It's not his kindness at all, but his punishment, a kind of spiritual punishment.

Because falling in love with the wrong person will inevitably suffer extraordinary obstacles and grief. The deeper the relationship, the deeper the pain.

The Supreme Emperor got up, ready to leave here, and didn't want to look at him again.

"Father, I have one more request."

The Supreme Emperor stopped by his side, "Speak."

"I……"

After hearing his words, the Supreme Emperor turned his head to his son kneeling at his feet in surprise, and confirmed, "Have you really decided? This way you have no way out?"

"Yes." His voice was firm without any hesitation.

"Since that's the case, it's up to you." The Supreme Emperor angrily took a step forward, "You can take care of yourself."

Pushing open the door, the Supreme Emperor looked at the people kneeling outside, and said sharply: "No matter what you see or hear today, you are not allowed to tell me. If it gets out, you will be executed immediately."

"Hmph!" After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and brought Eunuch Hai back to Qianhua Palace.

Zigui got up and helped Mr. Han up.

Elder Han glanced at Qingming who was still kneeling in the imperial study room, sighed, and left without saying a word.

Dong Gui went to dismiss the palace people gathered here, Zigui went to the imperial study room, saw the mess all over the floor, squatted beside Qingming, "It's all brother's fault, brother shouldn't have said that from the beginning. However, what did you talk about with Uncle Huang, isn't it enough to just break up with him?"

Qingming shook his head, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing a bleak smile, "I also thought I could push him away easily, but I suddenly found that I couldn't do it. Just now, I told Father Admit, I love him; that is what I have never said to him, but I said it so logically and easily just now, and then, I found that I can't do it..."

"Don't talk about it, there will always be a day when you let go, the pain is only temporary."

Zigui hugged Qingming with a heavy expression.

If time can be repeated, he will definitely try his best to prevent them from being together.
