Chapter 500

Emperor Duanhua finally agreed to Gu Shao’s request.

After all, he was more capricious and also knew that he could not leave Gu Shao’s aide at the moment, so after Gu Shao put up a stance of dead advice, he still compromised.

Of course he compromised reluctantly, “How long will I have to live with this kind of endurance?!”

“His Majesty has been on the throne for less than three years now.” After Gu Shao staggered up, he sighed at this question before answering somewhat wearily, “The late emperor’s patience under the hands of the Shen Tu Clan back then was more than three three years!”

Emperor Duanhua retorted disapprovingly, “That’s because Emperor Huizong favored his favorite concubine, but the late emperor was always wise …”

Speaking here, the emperor himself fell silent, and only after a long time did he say quietly, “After all is said and done, it is because I am far inferior to the late emperor.”

“But Your Majesty’s royal body is well.” Gu Shao didn’t want to comfort him with a clear conscience now, and bluntly said, “Endure the anger for a while, and the days to come will be long!”

You’re not your father who worries about dying early, and now you’re still young, why do you just refuse to hold back a little bit? Endure a few years, the threat to your throne of people and things are eradicated, then you just want to do as you wish a little, when I am willing to be like an old mother like days into the palace to give you kowtow to advice?

The emperor rubbed his forehead and sighed, “I know Minister Gu and go back! I’ll have someone summon the Crown Prince over.”

Although the promise of Gu Shao to restore the honor and glory of the Empress of Wei, but of course the end of the Emperor could not go directly to the Weiyang Palace to release, that the meaning of the help is too obvious, so from the Prince to start: sent people will be called to ask the Prince of homework.

The prince’s schoolwork has always been good, because since young favored reason, he in front of his parents has always been very bold, and does not cower. But this time, after Queen Wei’s accident, Duanhua Emperor also had a gap to the Prince, quite some days did not summon him.

In the middle of this, the palace staff serving in the East Palace, inevitably will be some of the words that are not, passed to the ears of the Prince.

So now after the crown prince arrived at the Xuanming Palace, although it can’t be said that he became trembling all of a sudden, he was obviously restrained.

Towering above the Dan Di above the Duanhua emperor, looking down on the very clear, the Prince into the temple, not as usual, the first raised his head towards their own hand over a big smile, but follow the rules, lowered his head to curb his eyes, steadily to the Dan Di, after a respectful salute, asked for peace, to be the end of the emperor of the “flat”, only a little stand straight, but the gaze! Still slightly hanging, and do not dare to look up to admire the face of the son of heaven.

“How has my son been?” Duanhua emperor looked, heart is also a little difficult, after all, is his favorite for more than ten years of firstborn son, if not afraid of this son’s biological mother and foreign family, he is very satisfied with this son itself, at the moment see the crown prince to his respectful but distant appearance, sighing, before warmly said, “I have been busy with political affairs these days, but there are a few days have not seen you. ”

The Crown Prince sniffed, busy said, “Labor father emperor see ask! My son has been doing well lately, Father is in charge of a lot of things, please take care of your body!”

After saying these words, the crown prince revealed a clear chagrin, obviously worried that the words “take care of the imperial body” would make the emperor suspect that he meant it, and that he had ulterior motives.

Duanhua emperor in the above look out, recalled the dynasty of Xianjia favor, their own in front of the emperor of Xianjia, has also been so overwhelmed, the son’s pity and a few more points, softened the voice, said, “How still standing below? Previously are not to the courtyard, to the side of my book to talk? Come up!”

After hearing these words, the Crown Prince was clearly stunned, and then he revealed a joyful look and exclaimed, “Thank you, Father!”

He walked around from the side to the Dan Di in the end, he was young, and had never been coldshouldered like this by Emperor Duanhua before, so looking at Emperor Duanhua’s loving attitude, the crown prince gradually grew bold, and after standing at the side of the imperial case, he took the initiative to say, “Father wants to test my son’s schoolwork? I have not been slacking on my studies these days.”

Emperor Duanhua smiled and said, “Really? Then I’ll have to ask you nicely, if you can’t answer, I’ll have to punish you!”

This day he rarely put aside the political affairs to accompany the prince, first of all, schoolwork, and took a few not important to the prince to see, pointing out how to deal with this kind of thing after that, and stayed in the prince in the Xuanming Palace with lunch, so that after noon, father and son finally resumed the former mode of living together.

The crown prince then boldly probed, “I have not seen my mother for some days, I do not know if my father can allow me to go to my mother to ask for peace?”

After Empress Wei was placed under house arrest, without an imperial decree from the Son of Heaven, even the Crown Prince, his own son, could not enter the Weiyang Palace to visit her.

Prince actually not only hope to be able to go to visit Empress Wei, but also hope that their mother will be able to recover as usual but in the end he is twelve or thirteen years old, and naturally know that this is directly raised, I’m afraid that will attract the emperor of the Duanhua displeasure, but not only can not help their own mother, may even be even their own to be hitched to it.

So at this moment, he only mentioned inviting peace in order to observe Emperor Duanhua’s reaction.

However, Emperor Duanhua called him over today, originally for the purpose of relieving Empress Wei of her ban, and upon hearing this, after a little thought, he allowed it, “In that case, then you go!”

The crown prince was surprised and delighted, and thanked him for his kindness the next thing he did was stay a little too long in the Xuanming Palace, looking out frequently.

Seeing this, Emperor Duanhua knew that the Crown Prince was obviously still more attached between his parents . It wasn’t surprising that his mother, after all, Emperor Duanhua himself was still receiving orders from Emperor Xianjia’s ear until shortly before his death! How could he be bothered to bring the crown prince with him all day long?

The crown prince had followed Empress Wei for a long time since he was young, so of course he was closer to Empress Wei.

However, Emperor Duanhua will still be wary of Empress Wei, and after he said that he would allow the Crown Prince to go to the Weiyang Palace right now, he immediately thought, “Back then, my biological mother had advised me to commit regicide, and I refused because I had a deeper relationship with the late Emperor! But the crown prince is better with the empress, if the empress let him choose between his parents, I don’t know how the crown prince will choose?”

Thinking so, the original look of smilingly watching the Crown Prince leave faded.

And after the Crown Prince arrived at the Weiyang Palace in a flurry of excitement, he spoke with Empress Wei about this day’s experience, and at the end of the day, he rejoiced and said, “Empress Mother, as soon as my son said that he wanted to come to pay his respects to you today, Father Emperor granted it! It seems that father’s anger has passed, I think that in a few days, you will be able to go out and walk around!”

Another cold smile, “Those individuals that the Empress Dowager got in before, especially that He Xiuyi, should also be taught a lesson, lest they don’t know the heights of heaven and think that you can take advantage of it because you’ve banned your feet, Empress Mother!”

In fact, He Xiuyi them into the palace only so much time, even if it is the most favored He Xiuyi, busy right now to run clear of the six palaces are too late, naturally, it is not possible to make things difficult for the Empress Wei, not to mention now on the count on the Prince but the manpower of the East Palace, are the Prince was only booked, the Empress Wei’s pick.

This time, Empress Wei was grounded, fearing that the crown prince had a lapse, explicitly and implicitly, but also on the crown prince to strengthen the protection and mention.

Since these people were all the Empress’s people, they certainly wouldn’t have any favorable feelings towards He Xiuyi, the five newcomers, even with hostility.

Learning by ear, the Crown Prince naturally did not have a good voice towards these young concubine mothers.

At this moment, Empress Wei sniffed and rebuked unhappily, “How did you speak? Who is the Empress Dowager to you? She is your first grandmother! How can you call the word ‘Empress Dowager’? As for He Xiuyi them, into the palace is your father’s intention, you have the ability to talk to your father to go, learn that up to chew the tongue of things, hate a few body can not help a small concubine, this is what capacity! If you don’t learn, I’m going to give you the rules!”

Although the Empress was happy that her son was on her side, her son was going to be the Emperor in the future, and she didn’t want to raise a smallminded Emperor out of it!

Suo Sei Crown Prince is very filial, sniffing the words and busy saying, “The son of the court knows the crime! I won’t dare next time!”

“You are the Crown Prince.” Empress Wei slowed her demeanor and taught him in a serious manner, “Now you are the Crown Prince, and in the future you will be the Son of Heaven. So you should have the measure of a son of heaven even if your royal grandmother may not have good intentions towards us for the sake of your Uncle Su Wang, but as long as she is your royal grandmother, you should treat her the way you would treat your grandmother! Because no matter how bad she is, she is still an elder and should be respected by you! Don’t feel aggrieved for doing so, all the glory and riches in this world, all need to pay a price before you can bear it!”

“The founding king of my Great Rui, His Majesty the Great Ancestor, that is, your high grandfather, when he established Great Rui, it was the achievement of a sword, a gun, and the group of heroes in the chaotic world of the end of the Yong Dynasty, which was hard to fight out! In the middle of this, not only your granduncles and greatgranduncles died in the battlefield, even His Majesty, Emperor Taizu himself, also went through several lives and deaths, how difficult and dangerous it is!”

“Besides, your grandfather, the late Emperor Xianjia, this is like you, is the original spouse of the first son of the emperor, but because of the Shentu clan and Zhenyuan’s chaos, is also to endure humiliation, only to have the later Shengshi’s rule!”

“Compared to his forefathers, my son’s current scenario is already very good. Your imperial grandmother, like your mother, is from a great family!”

“That’s why even though she harbors ill will towards us, she’s always been cordial on the surface and won’t make things difficult for us in public!”

“In that case, shouldn’t you honor her on the field? After all, she loves you on the scene, too!”

“How many people in this world, who fly by the seat of their pants all their lives, ask for nothing more than food and clothing!”

“And my son was born rich and might even be the lord of the world in the future!”

“And how can one even bear the aggravation of the district?!”

The Empress looked very stern, “The Son of Heaven and the Crown Prince, are both tied to the gods of the world, if you, the Crown Prince, are still fragile and vulnerable, how can you shelter the millions of common people in this world?!”

Prince kneeling to listen to the training, heard here, looked around, see no living person in, Fang timidly said, “But the son of the children listen to … hear, father emperor he …”

Speaking here to stop talking, it was obvious that the Crown Prince was also aware of what the Duanhua Emperor had been up to these days.

“That’s why mother cited the example of your high grandfather and your grandfather, but not your father’s.” Empress Wei downplayed, “You should not learn from your father. If you want to learn, learn from your grandfather!”

She patted her side, “Well, this thing you remember in your heart is, now first do not speak! Come over to mother here to sit, and then tell mother, today your father suddenly summoned you, and to you so affectionate, but also allowed you to come to mother to ask for peace … this is why?”

Unknown to Emperor Duanhua, ever since the Crown Prince started school at the age of six, every time he paid his respects to Emperor Xianjia, the Dowager Empress, and Emperor Duanhua, the Empress would carefully inquire about what had happened, and then summarize the gains and losses for her son, pointing out how to behave the next time he encountered something similar.

The Zhongling County King who was once a delightful person, and the Crown Prince who now makes the Duanhua Emperor’s heart feel uncomfortable, was not originally born.

The Empress quietly listened to the crown prince’s analysis and summary, a pair of phoenix eyes, but gradually narrowed, “His Majesty is intent on sparing the Palace? So suddenly, there must be a reason … I don’t know if the Empress Dowager’s side has already received this news?”

Empress Wei thought to herself, “What will Qingzhou Su, do?

Also, those forces that are silent in the shadows, such as Old Lady Duanmu, such as the Shen and Liu …

If once upon a time it was only a dark current, now, on the shores of the empire, the hidden and unseen undercurrent could be said to be surging.

The slightest misstep would be a shattered body.

However, with the throne of the supreme being so close at hand, who would be willing to give up this ultimate honor on earth?
