Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1131 "Uncle, I feel depressed" ([-])
The emperor's appearance at this moment made King Qin feel a little trembling.

"Uncle Emperor, I feel depressed", the emperor said this twice in total.

The first time was the day the emperor ascended the throne.

Ascending the throne is the dream of every royal child and the goal they strive for, including King Qin.

King Qin was only ten years older than the emperor, and was the youngest brother of the late emperor. Even though he was young, and even though the late emperor had already secured the throne when he remembered, he had once had the desire to sit on the dragon throne.

He thought that he, the emperor's nephew, who finally ascended the throne after a lot of hard work, would be happy with success and have great ambitions to achieve great things.

But that night, King Qin, who was responsible for guarding the imperial city at that time, was called by the emperor to have a drink. The emperor said, "Uncle, I feel depressed."

For King Qin, who had heard how the late emperor killed his uncles and brothers since he was a child, he felt that this nephew was a bit hypocritical.

This nephew was no more merciful than the previous emperor. He almost killed all his brothers. King Kang, who was not killed, was placed under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum. He had achieved a great victory. What was there to feel depressed about?
Hypocritical!

But the emperor who had just ascended the throne at that time said: "I will also guard against everyone like the late emperor."

Although what King Qin was thinking at that time was: Haven't you been on guard against everyone a long time ago?Otherwise, would you be able to survive until now?Can you ascend to the throne of God?
But the actual approach was to immediately show loyalty and show the emperor that he could trust him, just as the previous emperor had trusted him.

Because he believed at the time that the emperor was hesitant to kill himself, who seemed harmless, because he was only ten years older than the emperor and had some power left by the late emperor.

As far as the clan is concerned, either of them can be the emperor. Perhaps the gentle King Qin is more beneficial to the clan.

Now, the emperor said this again: "Uncle, I feel depressed." So, do you want to show your loyalty again?
Maybe hand over your only position as governor of Kyoto and go home to become a idle prince?
"Uncle Emperor, now I can especially understand why the late emperor was so polite to us back then," the emperor said, "There really is no successor!"

King Qin didn't know how to answer the question, but he felt much more at ease - it's not just me.

As for the lack of successors, well, King Qin thought so too.

The sons of the late emperor were all very capable, and the city was deep enough, but the emperor was even better; but the current prince was far behind, either physically weak or unwilling to make progress.

Although several older princes wanted to compete for the throne, they lacked scheming skills and behaved too naively.

King Qin felt that it was best to keep his mouth shut at this time, open his ears, and be an audience for the emperor.

"Did I make a mistake?" The emperor didn't seem to need anything to say from King Qin, and said: "Uncle, tell me, should I have established a crown prince earlier so that they could settle down and learn to do things in a down-to-earth manner?

However, look at my ten sons, can any of them satisfy me?

The big ones are like fighting cocks all the time. You peck me and I bite you. They just want to trample everyone else and leave me alone. I have no choice but to make it my reserve;
No one wants to learn how to do things!

It’s not that I didn’t give you a chance, I gave it!
This time during the 'Eight Winds' disaster, I sent the two older ones, Lao Er and Lao Wu, out to provide disaster relief. This was to give them the opportunity to get in touch with people's livelihood and to establish a reputation for themselves;

But look at what they did - neither of them wanted to go to Changguang Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture, which were the most severely affected, nor to Haizhou Prefecture, which was the most dangerous. Instead, they fought to get to Yibin. , Go to Songjiang Prefecture to provide disaster relief!
Are they used to go to those places?
No problem, after all, those places were also seriously flooded, but what did they do there?The second child only stayed in the city and did not dare to go to places where there was an epidemic; the fifth child was even more miserable. When he went to the place, he gave the money and food directly to the government office and came back on his own!He and his mother and concubine kept complaining about the dangerous roads!
The eldest and the third child, one is born with a heart disease and the other is an acquired heart disease. How can I safely appoint them as princes? Wouldn't that make them die faster?

Everyone puts their intelligence and talents on the wall of brotherhood, and no one cares about political affairs! "

King Qin listened to the emperor's nagging sincerely and offered him more wine or tea in a timely manner, but he didn't think so in his heart——

"Uncle, tell me", what should I say? What can I say?What can I say?Who can blame this?

Isn't this the emperor's fault?Don’t you think that the princes are fighting each other as brothers and sisters, and you don’t want them to make the same mistake as you did?
You have shown your fatherly love to them, but you have also prevented them from contacting the courtiers. They can only get limited support from their mother clan all day long;
What kind of support could it be other than teaching them how to please you and how to behave better than their brothers?
The emperor was still immersed in his own thoughts: "It has been half a year now, and Duke Yong'an has been writing to me every day urging me to ask for money. Why? Because the disaster relief funds have not been sent to Yong'an Palace yet!

In their hearts, since there are not many people left in Yong'an Mansion, they can treat it as dead and a wasteland!
They are so responsible! "

After a pause, the emperor calmed down.

This cannot be entirely blamed on the courtiers and princes, because the emperor himself had the idea of ​​letting Duke Yong'an revitalize Yong'an Mansion at his own expense.

So the emperor stopped continuing this topic and said: "Gong Yong'an once said that the lords of the Voss Kingdom were like a group of worms fighting around;
The Gu insect that wins in the end will become the new King of Voss. The original king was either "forced to the throne" or took the initiative to abdicate, so their throne is abdicated;

But isn’t this also true for my Daxuan?The difference is that those Gu insects are not lords, but princes. Back then, I was also a Gu insect;
I've had enough of my brothers' feuding. Once I establish a throne, it will definitely be a bloody storm, just like it was before me. A hundred years from now, it will be another bloody storm, just like it was before me.

In this way, no matter who succeeds to the throne, Daxuan will be in turmoil, and the Voss Kingdom will always keep an eye on it, but Daxuan will no longer have the Donglun Kingdom as a buffer. "

King Qin: ...

What is the emperor talking about?
Do you miss the late emperor, or do you hate the prince?
Are you worried about establishing a new crown prince, or are you worried about the retaliation of the Voss Kingdom?

But why is Mr. Yongan involved again?
Duke Yong'an wants money, Duke Yong'an talks about the fight between Gu insects...

King Qin thought that before he came, Hu Hengqiu was here to accompany the emperor to dinner... That boy Hu Hengqiu always came to deliver letters from Duke Yong'an to the emperor recently.

Well, that means something made the emperor feel the pressure brought by Duke Yong'an?
Is it about the fact that the Chu family's caravan was only focused on "sweeping the snow in front of itself" in suppressing bandits?

That's right, this king is here for this too!
"Your Majesty," King Qin finally said, "Mr. Yong'an may not be right."

"Huh?" The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at King Qin.

The King of Qin said: “If trees do not strive to grow upward and are higher than other trees, they will not be able to get sunlight, and they will wilt or even die.
When the tide comes, if people don’t run as fast as they can, they will be swallowed by the sea water;”

Survival of the fittest and natural selection are the rules set by God;
It is a good thing for the princes to compete. It shows that they know how to make progress. How can they be said to be like worms?

Only competition that is unscrupulous and does not care about family ties is a fight like a bug. But Your Majesty, you just need to give more advice to prevent them from going astray;
As for the Dong Lun Kingdom, no, as for the buffer...it was a blessing in disguise. "
