Chapter 295

At the moment, Prince Chen's voice sounds very soft. His delicate voice is just like the romantic prince who was not in power in those years. His eyes also show warmth.

"Duwei, I know that although I am high above the world and obedient to thousands of people, it is inevitable that some people will scold me for killing my brother and deceiving my father. Although the eldest brother rebelled that day, he died after all. Moreover, I agreed to his request before he died, did not deprive him of his royal status, and gave him the treatment of flag burial. It's just that people always get some sympathy when they die. Besides, although I look beautiful now, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a regent... My father, hum! In the past two years, he may not be so secure in the palace. I also know that the public opinion outside is not unanimous in praising me. There are always some disorderly officials and thieves who want to talk nonsense. I said I killed my elder brother. Well, I'll admit it. Although I didn't kill the eldest brother myself, I really forced him to die that day on such an occasion. Say I bully my father... Hum, what a bully! My brother and I finally fought each other. He has helped us to achieve this situation all these years! "

The last sentence changed duvet's face... Is there any royal secret in it?

According to the current normal logic, the imperial capital coup two years ago has already been decided. The mainstream view is that Augustine VI made the eldest prince as the crown prince in his early years, but in his later years he turned to favor his child Prince Chen, which made the eldest prince feel that his successor's position was in danger, so he decided to take a coup.

Isn't that the case?

"Not really!" Chen Prince ha ha a smile, looking at Du Wei surprised appearance: "Du Wei, your idea I probably can guess, outside spread this view is what appearance.". Can I not know? It's just... It's a pity that either I or the eldest brother are the victims of my father! "

Speaking of this, Prince Chen suddenly turned around and yelled to several royal warriors in the distance: "you all go down. I want to talk to Duke tulip about something. Everyone leave the garden! Who dares to listen to half a sentence. Kill at once

The knights in the golden armour bowed and turned away.

Chen Prince's face shows a trace of exhaustion, suddenly sat down on the floor. It's winter now, and the grass in the palace garden has withered. His imperial master just sits on the withered grass. Then he takes a look at Du Wei and pats the ground around him.

Dewey hesitated. Also sat down, sat in the Chen Prince's side.

"Do you want to hear a story, Dewey?"

This made Dewey laugh even more queer.

Hell... In recent days, I always seem to listen to people telling stories. Maximus told himself a story, QQ told himself another version of the story.

Now it's the imperial palace. Is Prince Chen going to tell himself a story?

But whether Dewey wants to or not, the story still needs to be heard: how can you refuse when the grand Regent of the Empire wants to tell you a story?

Besides, Dewey is really curious

Prince Chen sighed softly. He stretched out his hand at will and pulled out a thorn bar from the nearby flowers. With slender fingers, he pulled out the thorns on the thorn bar one by one, and then said slowly: "that was when I was ten years old..."

From a very young age, I always thought that I was probably the happiest person in the world.

Birth is the glory and honor of the royal family. Noble blood and status, royal title

When I was very young, people around me liked to praise me for my intelligence, saying that I was a rare gifted prince in the royal family. In fact, I know that most of these words are just false compliments.

And I, just sensible than other children earlier.

Everyone thinks my father likes me very much... Well. He should like me. Because I'm his youngest son. He gave birth to a son when he was 50 years old. Of course, it's more precious. It is said that he always wanted to have another son, but other imperial concubines gave birth to several Princesses for him. He even killed a royal concubine in a rage... Hey!

Finally, my mother was relieved when she gave birth to me.

But... When I was very young, I didn't know why, I always had a strange feeling. This feeling comes from my dear father!

Yes, father!

I know early and show my intelligence early. So I hired the first teacher earlier than other children. No matter the court scholar, astrologer or court magician, they all praised me for my intelligence and said how talented I was

But maybe it's my illusion? Because every time, I always feel that when the teachers praise me in front of my father, my father looks at me in a strange way. It's not like the way a loving father looks at his favorite son.

The eyes, like... Like an aging lion, looking at a cub that has already opened its teeth and claws! It's like one sees a potential threat to the future!

That kind of eyes, let me feel a trace of instinctive uneasiness, a trace of instinctive danger!

Although... My father hid such eyes very deeply. But I have already vaguely understood one point:

In fact, my father didn't really like me and spoil me as the outsiders said.

Perhaps, he likes and dotes on me, just deliberately.

When I was a kid, I didn't understand why.

When I was ten years old, I finally understood!

That year was my father's 60th birthday.

Although he was the supreme emperor of the Empire, the master of the mainland, and the most powerful man in the mainland. But when a man is 60 years old, he will inevitably grow old. But this world is just like this. The older people are, the more they want to hold on to something when they have land!

That year. I was only ten years old, but the night after my father's birthday dinner, my mother came to my bedroom with a look of joy, and then told me one thing: my father seemed to want to change the crown prince, and wanted to make me crown prince!

It's just, at the dinner party, when he showed a little bit of interest. It was fiercely opposed by noble ministers. This matter is strictly forbidden to be publicized, so few people know about it.

When my father was 70 years old and I was 20 years old, he wanted to make me crown prince, which was opposed by his subordinates. In fact, it happened ten years earlier. When I was ten years old, my father wanted to do it.

Well, let me go on to the night when I was ten

Mother, she is not a wise woman. She just instinctively thought that if I could be the crown prince and the future emperor, it would be a wonderful thing. So she was very happy. After all, her father had this idea. Maybe she could succeed in the future. and. Mother is not a scheming woman. She was so happy that she couldn't help telling me at night.

But that night. I feel the danger!

It's a chill that penetrates the whole body!!

It's true that I'm smarter than my peers because I'm more sensible.

At that time, I have understood a truth: there is no benefit for you without reason in the world!

Yes, I was young and smart, and my teachers praised me. Even a lot of noble ministers would praise me for being young and wise at the banquet

But a ten-year-old. No matter how smart you are, you will show your talent again. Can the emperor change his mind to set up a new crown prince?? Is it possible??

You know, at that time, my eldest brother Yawen was in his thirties. The eldest brother in his thirties has already done things with great means. In his early years, he also participated in the northwest war, although his performance can not be said to be amazing. But it's also a small credit. And those years. He has been as crown prince, and gradually has his own team. He does things quite well, too. At his age, he is also excellent. He dealt with all aspects of the affairs of the government.

A ten-year-old boy, no matter how smart he is, is just a talent in study. Can such a performance defeat an adult in his thirties who has mastered certain power and has done things well???

At least I don't believe it!

Father Huang, he will let a 30-year-old son do things steady mature adult don't believe, but believe in a 10-year-old Xiaomao child? I'm afraid normal people don't think so!

Funny, my mother thought it was a good thing, but in fact... Danger is coming!

Everything has changed since that day.

The servants and maids around me, as well as the palace teachers, all showed great respect to me. It seems that in their eyes, I am no longer a pure "Prince Chen", but a "Prince Chen who may become an emperor"!

More importantly... Even my dear brother, the eldest prince, Yawen, has changed his attitude towards me!

When I was young, my elder brother once held me. I even remember clearly that when I was young, he taught me how to ride a horse. He took me to a white horse, and then said to me, "our Augustine family won the domination of this continent with martial arts. As men of the Augustine family, we should have the spirit of fighting!"

At that time, he was like a real elder brother. After all, father has many children, but only our two sons, the others are daughters. So when I was a child, the eldest brother was very close to me.

But just because of the meaning of my father's birthday dinner, the attitude of the eldest brother to me also changed.

He never came to me again, never came to see me. No longer came to take me to ride horses, no longer accompanied me to see palace warriors practicing martial arts. I even remember that he had promised to take me out of the palace to drink in a month. However, that promise, he never fulfilled... Until he was defeated and died!

It's the father who changed all this!

It was because he revealed that he wanted to make me the crown prince. As a result, the eldest brother regarded me as the enemy!

But is it really that simple? Father, did he really like me before he said he wanted to make me crown prince?

Since then, I have been doubting!

I said it. Normal people will not choose to give up a 30-year-old calm adults do not believe, but to believe a little boy who knows nothing, even though that little boy is a little smart.

Therefore, I believe that my father did it purposefully!

Of course, I couldn't understand such a complicated matter when I was only ten years old at that time. But I also know that I can't ask my father about this kind of thing... More importantly. At that time, I had instinctive fear of my father. Although I didn't understand it at that time, it was probably a natural instinct.

I can't figure out the answer myself, so I have to ask others.

I remember three months later, there was a good chance. My palace teacher told me that there was something new in the imperial capital. There is a scholar named "blue ocean". This scholar is intelligent and erudite. It seems that there is nothing in the world that he does not understand. Astronomy, geography, medicine, flower history... He seems to know everything.

And at a meeting of scholars from the whole imperial capital. He is even more with superb wisdom, in the debate, all want to blame him jealous of his opponent, argue speechless. Everyone thinks that he is the most intelligent scholar in the imperial capital.

After the palace teacher told me this, I was very curious. I've always wanted to see what the most intelligent scholar in the legendary imperial capital looks like.

Finally, that day, the teacher told me that there would be another debate in diduli, probably the last time I lost to the blue ocean. Some people are unconvinced and find some famous university students from other provinces.

I admired the blue ocean in my heart, so I begged my palace scholar teacher to take me to have a look. He was also very interested in this matter, so he took me to

At that time, I was still young and it was not convenient for me to go out of the palace, so when the teacher tried to take me out and arrived at the meeting, the debate was over. I don't see the process in which blue ocean scholars put their opponents in silence. But I saw the cheers of the onlookers outside, the people in civilian clothes. My sincere respect and admiration for the scholar named blue ocean.

I noticed that blue ocean scholar. He is really an extraordinary person, although he wears ordinary clothes.

This is the world. Many pretentious people, desperate to put on gorgeous clothes, but instead exposed the shallow. And people like blue ocean don't need gorgeous clothes to set off themselves.

Just a few simple eyes, I'm sure, this man is called blue ocean. He must be a smart scholar.

Later... After the conference. In spite of the court teacher's opposition, I secretly followed the blue ocean. Followed him all the way back to his home.

Then, I asked the palace teacher to wait outside. I knocked on the door and found the blue ocean scholar.

I didn't hide my identity, and he wasn't surprised at my identity. I can feel that his calm is not disguised, but real.

Blue ocean is such a person... This kind of person, when you stand in front of him, as if you are really facing the ocean, you will feel his wisdom seems to be unfathomable. And standing in front of him, you will instinctively feel small.

At that time, when I was young, I made a request to him. I wanted to ask him a question, but I hope he can keep a secret for me.

Blue ocean thought for a while, then said to me, "if it is five years later, I will refuse your request. But now, I promise you

Later, I understood what he meant by this sentence: if I were an adult five years later, I would have grown up to the age where I could be cruel for the sake of power. Maybe I would kill people after asking him. But fortunately, I was only 10 years old at that time, and my 10-year-old child was not able to do that kind of thing.

That day, in the blue ocean scholar's cabin, I think he raised the question that has been hidden in my heart:

Why did he suddenly want to make me crown prince? Does my father really think that as a 10-year-old child, I must be better than a 30-year-old adult?

After listening to my question, the blue ocean scholar thought for a while.

Then he finally gave me the answer.

And that answer, let me listen to, really have a kind of creepy feeling! For the first time in my life, I suddenly feel that being born in the royal family is not necessarily a blessing!

Blue ocean's answer is not complicated, there is only one sentence: this matter, to blame only your father is now in good health, and your big brother has grown up too fast!

When blue ocean said this, I didn't understand. He didn't mean to explain to me, and I, at that time, it was too late. I wanted to go back to the palace immediately.

That night, I was in my room, thinking all night by myself! I think of my father's "love" for me. I think of the way my father looked at me when I was young and others praised me for my wisdom. I think of the helplessness that big brother occasionally showed

At dawn, I suddenly figured it all out! Blue ocean is right! The biggest reason for this is that father Huang is in good health, while big brother grows up too fast!! His father, Augustine VI, was an emperor who had an extreme desire for power. In his eyes, there is no father son relationship, only the throne! The throne is the only one who has weight in his heart! The supreme throne and the power to dominate the mainland are the only things in his eyes! So, even though he was sixty years old, he still looked energetic, as if he didn't mean to let go. He is such a man of great achievements. He is even planning to set up a fleet again to go to the South Ocean. He even wants to launch a war against the northwest again. All day long, these crazy ideas are in his mind. He holds power in his hand. He wants to be the greatest Emperor in Augustine's Dynasty, He still has so many grand plans not carried out, and so many great wishes not realized! At such a time, how can he be willing to let go of his power?? He felt that he was not old enough. He felt that he had a lot to do. He thought that if he could, he would like to be emperor until he was 100 years old!! Hum... But the problem is... In reality, he is in his early sixties! Sixty is an old age. But his son, his legal successor, my eldest brother, is over thirty years old! Thirty years old, is a man's peak, the most mature, the most energetic, the most energetic age! It can be said that it is the most golden time for men!!! And men of this age, no doubt, are eager to vent their energy on their career, to achieve their great revenge... But this is the contradiction! In those two years, the eldest brother had already had a considerable team. The royal city guards have his lineage. In the military, count Raymond of the Rowling family is his young friend. The financial secretary's, the Inspectorate's, all have his family. It can be said that around the big brother, a small political clique of the crown prince has been formed. Such a small political group, has been quite mature... Mature enough to be able to take over!! The eldest brother is waiting for his father to pass on the throne! Even the urgent waiting! At the age of 60, he is still energetic and ambitious, but he still does not want to let go. No one is allowed to covet his throne, even his own son!!
