Thinking of his plans for the future, Heidan felt more and more guilty towards Qi Zhen, with the attitude of making amends. From that day on, he often sent people to call Qi Zhen, and taught him calligraphy and painting, and lectured to him like before Qi Yu was born. Book.

Xiao Qizhen didn't seem to understand the reason why his father suddenly became affectionate, he only knew that he was happy.

Heidan watched him sit on the ground coaxing kumquats to play, he knew how to spoil his younger sister at such a young age, and sometimes he was bullied by his younger sister, so he couldn't help laughing and sighed: "His temperament is more like our father. No wonder Dad looks at him So pleasing to the eye."

Heidan is in Taisun Palace, his wife and children are hot on the kang, and he stays at home until the eighth day, and finally the ministers of the former court can't sit still.

On September [-]th, Ping Jiangbo and Chen Xuan wrote a letter, mentioning seven things, the first of which was related to the "national foundation".The emperor followed his admonition and summoned a division to implement it.However, the matter of "establishing the foundation of the country" was mixed with the other six matters of different nature, and it was lightly exposed.

On September 21, the king of Zhao went to the table and asked to establish the crown prince.The emperor praised Zhao Wang for his "loyalty and sincerity", but the matter of establishing a crown prince was "suspended for now".

On the same day, a decree was issued to exonerate Marquis Li Maofang of Fuyang from being a commoner on the grounds that he had rebelled against the late emperor during his reign, and recover his imperial orders, even his late father's son-in-law, Captain Li Rang, who had all imperial titles during his lifetime and posthumous titles of Jingguo after his death. The public also sealed the three generations of imperial certificates and burned them all.The means are not endless.

Li Maofang is the son of Princess Yongping.Although Princess Yongping has been married long ago and has a weak relationship with us juniors, the eldest sister born of the same mother of the emperor is only one year younger than the emperor.

The emperor's move was unexpected, full of the smell of fire/drug that knocked mountains and shakes tigers.

When Fan Hong came to report to Heidan, Heidan was teasing the children with me, holding Qi Yu in his arms, and telling Qi Zhen and Jinju stories about ancient sages.Hearing the news from the court, he remained indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Although the news is by no means good news, but seeing him calm down, I feel relieved, knowing that he is a smart and thorough person, and has made up his mind, so he will no longer be troubled by the establishment of the reserve.

I said, "Why does Uncle Sanhuang show his favor so frequently lately? He is involved in everything about my concubine and yours."

Heidan said: "It's nothing more than that he's smarter than Second Emperor Uncle. Wherever the wind blows, he will fall. Although Father is a little embarrassing for me now, Third Emperor Uncle sees that Father still has to stand me up in the end. Let's show our goodwill. Furthermore, it is also to show goodwill to the civil and military officials. It seems that he is not only a fellow traveler with all the officials, but also worthy of the status of a prince, who dares to be the leader. He must have thought before that, with our father's good temper , even if he is unhappy, he will not do anything to him—he pleaded for him even if he betrayed his father. Who would have thought that his father would use his aunt to scare him."

Princess Yongping's so-called rebellion is nothing more than standing in line with the second and third younger brothers in the past to help deliver the news. It is far worse than the Han King's raising soldiers and Zhao Wang's poisoning. Now he is being used by the emperor as a tool , It is wronged.

The emperor wanted to intimidate King Zhao, but the old foxes among the ministers saw that the emperor had no determination to move King Zhao after all—knock the mountain to shake the tiger, but he would not really hit the tiger itself with a hammer.As long as the emperor still values ​​decency and his image of "benevolence and love," things will be easy.

King Zhao tried the temperature of the water. On September 22, all civil and military officials came to the table and asked to establish the crown prince.The emperor still didn't agree, saying that I have not been able to benefit the people since I ascended the throne not long ago, so why should I take care of my own family affairs first.

I looked at Heidan's expression and saw that he was indifferent to this matter, not only did he not panic, but he seemed to be winning.

Earlier, I was the one who advised him to stay still, but now that he really calmed down, I became suspicious and asked him what his plans were.

Heidan said: "Last time when all the officials asked for a queen, even though my father was jealous of me, it was a blessing in disguise for us."

I was confused: "What blessing?"

Heidan smiled and said: "When you advised me to 'stop with stillness', I thought you had already had this idea in your heart and hinted it to me! So it was just to persuade me to meditate?"

"I just looked at the whole palace, only you can afford the crown prince, so I forced myself to feel more at ease." I smiled and said, "What do you think I am, 'how wise and close to a demon'? How can I be so arrogant?" What an idea...don't be fooled, good brother, just tell me."

"What do I think you are? Naturally I think you are..." He couldn't say it clearly in front of the child, and quickly leaned into my ear, and whispered: "Naturally, you are a little fairy. Ghost idea." After finishing speaking, he straightened his body and continued in a serious manner: "I was thinking, with our father's limp temperament, if we blindly backed down from him, it would be better to be a little tougher. What happened last time, fell on the In my father's eyes, it seems that I respond to all the ministers, so I might as well continue to make him feel that way. He sees that I have such a deep foundation in the court, so he doesn't dare to do too much with me for a while. Father hates me for using tricks, hates me I colluded with the officials, this time I hid at home and didn't go out to see the guests, and dragged along with him, the officials were in a hurry, so if I handed over the booklet, my father would know, and the officials would recommend me without me deliberately contacting them. I'm very popular."

Although the children in the circle couldn't understand anything, they looked at their father's strategizing demeanor, and all of them looked at him with wide eyes and admiration.I laughed and sighed in my heart: "Silly children, your father is suffering."

On September 23rd, there was no movement in the court, but it was heard that Concubine Guo of the Harem had been pestering His Majesty for a long time. In the evening, she went out from Qianqing Palace with a displeased face.

On September 24th, the ministers put forward the form again, please establish the crown prince.The emperor finally let go, and passed a decree to make the eldest son the crown prince, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the ceremony on an auspicious day.

The decree was passed to Taisun Palace, and Heidan accepted the decree to thank him.

It was like a victorious battle, but none of us were happy to be there.

From the death of the first emperor to the present, in just one or two months, fathers are not fathers, sons are not sons, husbands are not husbands, wives are not wives, brothers are not brothers, brothers are not brothers, only monarchs and ministers remain.

The small life that Heidan and I barely managed to maintain was completely disrupted, and our life was also involved in the absurd farce of the harem throughout the ages.

I suddenly remembered the words Zhu Di said many, many years ago when the Meridian Gate caught fire and Heidan came out of the fire.

He said: "It's so cold to go up to the sky alone."

At that time, although Heidan occasionally felt disheartened, he was always pampered by the emperor's grandfather, and his parents were also loving. We still don't understand the meaning of that sentence.

Now that Heidan has just walked from the grandson to the prince, he already feels the biting chill.

Being a prince, everything is far from over, everything is just the beginning.

What will it be like when you actually walk to the supreme throne?
