Chapter 1318: The Cultivation of Dissent (1)

People like to recall the events of their early years in their later years. The fourth prince, Qi Wenmi, can't say that he regrets it or not, but there is always a slight disappointment in his heart.

Looking at the big brother and the brothers supporting each other, there is always a gap between him and the fifth. However, if he and the fifth have different opinions, the elder brother can still treat us equally without any grudges. If he is ill, I'm afraid that other brothers and ministers can pull him down from the throne without him and the fifth man trying to figure out a way.

Qi Wenmi always thinks back to when she was very young, when she was really naive and ignorant.

The eldest brother has loving brothers, so although you are the prince, he is very good with the brothers. Every day after school, he will personally take them to play for a while.

Of course, this is also related to the queen's magnanimity. Not every queen is willing to play like this with his son-in-law and his concubine, even brothers who are related by blood. This is a deep understanding after he got married and had many children.

At that time, the grandfather of the Shi family was only an uneducated five-ranked state. In the study room, there were eldest brothers and little bear cousins ​​suppressing them. No one dared to bully the younger ones. A group of children would get together and make trouble all day long except for reading. too jolly.

Because the family is weak and the position is low, the mother-in-law never let him conflict with the prince, and let him be the only elder brother in the study room.

He is the prince, and he is the first. Even if the concubine does not mention it, everyone will listen to him, but the reminder from the concubine day after day makes him a little uncomfortable, but the prince is really good to them. Discomfort is easy to forget.

The old Qi Wenmi lay on the rocking chair and remembered his childhood. After careful screening, he found that what really started to change was the year when the fourth uncle searched for famous doctors and strange medicines for the father and emperor.

The fact that that year happened is too much.

His father was poisoned suddenly, and the palace was under martial law. When he was in a panic, his mother-in-law quietly brought him to meet his uncle Shi Jia.

Uncle Shi was admitted to the second-class jinshi five years ago, and now he has entered the Ministry of Personnel. Although he is only a small seventh-rank official, because he is the eighth in the second-class and has entered the Hanlin Academy, he has a bright future.

When Uncle Shijia saw him, he respectfully knelt down and greeted him. At that time, he was only a child of eight or nine years old, and he was terrified by the sudden fall of his father. Seeing his uncle, an adult, treat him so respectfully, he could not help but give birth to a kind of me. Also an adult, I can feel indomitable!

At that time, Uncle Shi was asking about his father's situation, but at that time the Kunning Palace blocked the news, even he only knew that his father fainted at the court meeting, but he did not know why he fainted.

Uncle Shi Jia sighed and said, "Your Highness, you are the son of the sage, and you are the same as the prince. Those who are sons of man should put filial piety first. When the sage fell ill, not only can you not be there to serve, but you don't even know what disease your majesty is suffering from. ,It is really……"

said again: "Isn't this Prince's move to bring you injustice?"

It was very simple to sow discord, but at that time he was young and flustered, and he became angry at the trick.

The older brother of the prince is only fifteen years old, the cousin of the bear is only fourteen, and the second brother is even younger, but why is the second brother able to know the father's condition and freely enter and exit the Kunning Palace, only he and the younger brothers can't?

He was very unconvinced, so he began to pay attention to Kunning Palace everywhere, and even ran outside the palace to make a noise to see his father.

Prince only thought that his younger brothers were frightened by the atmosphere of the palace. Even if his face was exhausted, he still found time to comfort them, promising that the father and emperor would be fine and the fourth uncle would come back soon.

In the eyes of young Qi Wenmi, he has three and a half people he can rely on. The father and the concubine count as two, the prince counts as half, and the remaining one is the fourth uncle who is like a mountain.

So hearing that the fourth uncle was coming back soon, Qi Wenmi was very happy and asked, "Can I go in and see the royal father then?"

The prince looked at him with pity and nodded, and promised: "I will let you go in to see the father when the fourth uncle comes back."

At that time, Qi Wenmi didn't know that it was a kind of protection. The poisoned father and emperor needed to exchange blood. The prince refused to let several younger brothers have blood tests because they were all too young. Blocking the news, the second is to protect them, the crown prince does not allow them to enter the Kunning Palace, and does not let them linger nearby, so that no one will miss them.

After all, a prince is not as important as an emperor.

Unfortunately, after he figured this out, he had gone too far on this road and involved too much, and he couldn't pull it out or go back.

Knowing that the fourth uncle was coming back, Qi Wenmi happily went to tell the mother concubine Shi Concubine, but Shi Concubine's complexion changed slightly, and while delivering a message outside the palace, she hugged him and said, "Silly boy, what are you happy about your fourth uncle coming back? He is on your elder brother's side, and when he comes back, the world will be settled."

Qi Wenmi asked stupidly, "Isn't the world settled?"

Shibi looked at her son complicatedly and said, "If the world is set, you will have no chance, child, don't you want to be as majestic and mighty as your father, and respond to every call?"

The eight-year-old child has passed the period of ignorance. Even if there is not so much conflict in the Qi family's palace, the prince is not as precocious as the princes of the past dynasties, but at the age of eight he already understands what it means to fight for the throne.

Shi Bi's face was hidden in the darkness, and he said word by word: "It's all dragon sons, your father still likes you so much, is it because you were born a few years late and lost that opportunity? Child, you also have a chance to Lord of the world, if you give up today, won't you regret it later?"

Qi Wenmi opened her mouth wide and heard herself say, "But the eldest brother is the prince, and the Li family is the prince..."

"Silly child, your royal father doesn't like the aristocratic family. After he came to power, he dealt a lot of blows to the family. Even the harem's concubines were selected from the third-rank officials and below, and the family was excluded. It shows how much he dislikes the family, and our Shi family is not. Although it is a small family, your grandfather is already a fifth-grade prefect, and the next is the prefect. Later, when you are transferred back to the capital, there will be a mother and a concubine, and you will gradually rise."

added: "What's more, your uncle is still a second-class jinshi. He has also worked in the Hanlin. In the future, there is a possibility that he will be a prince and a chancellor. Are you afraid that you will not support him with him?"

Qi Wenmi admitted that at that moment his heart skipped a beat.

But soon he shook his head and said firmly: "My father likes eldest brother the most, he will not let me be the emperor."

Shibi touched his head and smiled: "Stupid boy, like and hate are not far from each other. If your elder brother does something wrong, your royal father will naturally not like him anymore."

"But there are the second brother and the third brother. I am so young, how could the royal father choose me over them?"

Shi Concubine sneered: "Your second brother has such a concubine, your father will not choose him, not to mention that he was brought up by Prince Rong and his wife, just because of this, your father will not choose him. , And the third prince, his mother concubine Xu Concubine is timid as a mouse, and he is the same, your father and emperor will not look at him, not to mention, my son has the support of important officials."
