What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 94 Chapter 93

"Don't worry, Xiao Qi has already told me how much Li Kong has done for me during this time, and he won't take any credit for it. I still can afford to give you an unquestionable status."

Before getting out of the car, Wei Huai'en patted Meng Keshu's hand.

"Ruan Yan's students shouldn't be so timid."

Budu was already waiting outside the car, and when Wei Huai'en got off the car, he first recited the Shengfo gatha.

"Your Highness Jiarou, please stay safe."

Wei Huai'en saw that he was much calmer than the last time we met in Haoyue Tower, so the sarcasm changed into a cold sentence:

"Stay safe."

It stands to reason that after that incident, she and he shouldn't be walking on the imperial road peacefully like they are now.

But Wei Huai'en keenly felt that the disgusting feeling in Budu that used to make her seem to have dissipated after he confessed his infidelity to her.

It seemed that he should have been neither sad nor happy, always twirling the Buddha beads, and he no longer had the struggle and restlessness that belonged to the soul.

He was now like the little monk she had first met all those years ago.

Maybe it's because his Buddha heart has entered another level.Wei Huai'en withdrew his gaze from Budu, and looked up at the jade steps.

Step by step, step by step, but she was thinking absently in her heart, when will she climb this ladder again not to meet Tianyan, but because she is Tianyan?

How long will this day last, she seems to be unable to wait.

Budu was no longer disturbed by her sizing up, but caught a glimpse of the ambition in her eyes from the corner of his eye, and coughed in a low voice to bring her back to her senses.

"Your Highness, I will ask you about Bei Zhai today."

"Ok, thank you very much."

The runaway thoughts were pulled back, and Wei Huai'en remembered that he would see Emperor Yonghe soon.It seems that these days in Mingzhou, he is used to indulging in Mengshan, and he didn't feel relieved when he returned to the capital.

Fortunately, Budu reminded her in time, allowing her to calm down and restrain her publicity, guessing about Emperor Yonghe's question, and began to draft.

This thank you came from the heart, Budu nodded slightly, led her to the front of the palace gate, and opened the door for her.

Walking into the palace alone, Wei Huai'en was surprised to find that Emperor Yonghe didn't even wear the regular clothes embroidered with dragon patterns, but was loosely wearing a purple robe over the middle clothes, which was laid out on the drawing paper spread out on the desk. depicting something.

"Father."

Wei Huai'en kowtowed and saluted.

"came back."

Emperor Yonghe didn't let her get up, and her attention seemed to be entirely on the drawing paper.

"Yes, my son was delayed in Mengshan Academy for a few days and failed to return to Beijing on time, so I came here to plead guilty to my father."

It's just that Wei Huai'en knelt straight, and his eyes moved up from Emperor Yonghe's boots to the desk inch by inch, almost facing the face of Emperor Yonghe.

"Oh, why do you want to plead guilty to me, you want to ask your elder brother's sin?"

Emperor Yonghe noticed her disrespectful gaze, paused for a moment, then continued.

"Colluded with Beidi, betrayed the military, and even let Beidi's dead soldiers into our beams to be assassinated. The father and sons and ministers have solid evidence. Why can't the king be punished?"

Wei Huai'en took a step forward on his knees and asked in front of the desk.

Emperor Yonghe's eyes fell on her face, as if he couldn't see the unwillingness and resentment in her eyes, he said casually:

"After all, he is your elder brother, besides, aren't you okay?"

"What does the father mean by saying this? Don't you know that my son is recuperating in Mengshan Academy because he injured his bones when he fell off a cliff? How can you say that his son is fine? Why are you protecting King Duan?"

Wei Huai'en's originally prepared countermeasures were disrupted by Emperor Yonghe's completely unreasonable bias. For a while, he was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, and his tone could even be called aggressive.

But today Emperor Yonghe is like a temperless clay figurine, even though Wei Huai'en offends him, he is indifferent, and he doesn't even stop painting.

"Father!"

Wei Huai'en almost felt the pain in the intercostal wound, probably because he was breathing too deeply and too quickly, so he accidentally pulled it.

After this questioning, Emperor Yonghe finally put down his pen and looked up at the aggrieved Wei Huai'en.

"Why did you fall off the cliff, don't you know better than me? I would have killed that dog a long time ago, and it was you who negotiated terms with me to save him. Now it is clear that you are willing to risk yourself, why, Are you blaming someone else?"

It's just nonsense, nonsense.Wei Huai'en was trembling with anger, but he didn't want to take the charge at all.

"I did fall off the cliff to save him, but how could my father not know the order that King Duan gave to the people of Beidi? Even if I don't save him, will the people of Beidi let me go? How can we confuse the facts? , don’t ask the culprit!”

"To put it bluntly, you want to kill the king, don't you?"

Emperor Yonghe sat on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, not affected by Wei Huai'en's emotions at all.

Separated by a book table, on this side is Wei Huai'en who is full of resentment, and on the other side is the leisurely Emperor Yonghe.

Ever since he entered the palace, Wei Huai'en only knew one thing.

Emperor Yonghe didn't care about her life or the life of Prince Duan at all, these things only disturbed him.

Then there is nothing to hide, Wei Huai'en took a deep breath to force himself to calm down like Emperor Yonghe, and spoke coldly like an outsider.

"Yes, my son wants him to pay for the soldiers who died defending the northern border, the displaced people, and the souls of the Beidi people who died in vain."

want.Want his life, even if not for yourself, but also for the sins he committed.

"But you know, he has handed over the people from Beidi to Dali Temple, confessed all the details of his contact with Beidi, and now all the Beidi spies have been captured.

There is an injustice and a debtor, and King Duan just used them to intercept and kill you.Could it be that the crimes of Beidi people should also be placed on him? "

Emperor Yonghe threw the report of Dali Temple to Wei Huai'en.

But Wei Huaien didn't even look at it, because she had already learned about the progress of Jingzhong through Shangguan Luming, Shui Jing and others. Anyway, Emperor Yonghe didn't know that she had power in private, so why bother pretending?

"If you don't want to kill him, there are always a thousand and 1 reasons to keep him alive. No need to say anything else, just say that he also has your blood on him, and he will have a gold medal to avoid death. Can live on because he is the prince and grandson.

But father, since he is the King Duan and is nourished by the people, he allowed Yan Weiguang and the Nanlin forces to plunder the merchants in Mingzhou.

In the northern border, in order to seize power with his sons and ministers, he whitewashed the peace, regardless of the death of the refugees and the hunger and cold of the soldiers, he arbitrarily embezzled the relief food and caused a mutiny.

Father, why.Should all living beings raise such a scum who has more success than failure?Let him live, how can he explain to the world? "

Wei Huai'en could no longer bear Duan Wang's stupidity and arrogance, even if it wasn't for Wei Huaide, Xiao Qi, or herself, she still had too many reasons to ask Duan Wang to take his life.

"Even if he repented at the last moment, even if he left behind to completely wipe out the Beidi people?"

Compared to Wei Huai'en's righteous indignation, Emperor Yonghe's rhetorical question was as light as a feather.

"Correct."

Wei Huai'en kowtowed again.

"Talk about the heart, regardless of the trace."

There was a long silence in the hall, Wei Huai'en fell on the ground, as if Emperor Yonghe should not get up.

"I thought you could be different."

Emperor Yonghe sighed.

"Why is this so? How about imprisoning him in Prince Duan's mansion? Xing'er has already been raised in the palace, and Pei Yi has run away without knowing his whereabouts. Letting him die won't embarrass you, the crown prince, right?"

Wei Huai'en was slightly startled, she indeed heard the word Chujun from Emperor Yonghe.

Is this to use the crown prince to make her take a step back?

She hesitated.

Emperor Yonghe saw this, even if her posture didn't move, he knew she was shaken.

He has seen a lot of people who plead for the people, but sometimes, right and wrong are just because there is no price tag.

Wei Huaien is so like him, how could he not be tempted by real authority?

He went on to say:
"Do you still remember what kind of deal you made with me when you saved that eunuch's life? Wynn, I have allowed you to investigate your subordinates. If you really care about it, how many lives does that eunuch have to live?"

Tsk.Emperor Yonghe mocked in his heart.He remembered how he pampered and valued the former queen Jiang Ying, but so what?If you can't have both, a wise person will always have to choose.

"In a few days, I will decree that you will become the first female crown prince in this dynasty. You have done everything I entrusted to you in an orderly manner, and the people's will, even my seat will be yours one day.

So even if it's for yourself, you shouldn't be in charge with blood.Women are soft in nature, and the people are more willing to see a prince who is a blessing to all people. "

Hearing Emperor Yonghe's words, Wei Huai'en straightened his back and looked at him calmly.Xingzi's eyes were not as tempted and compromised as Emperor Yonghe expected, but on the contrary, Emperor Yonghe was not confident enough.

Just listen to her speak.

"Why do you think it's different for a woman to be the heir? The moment you chose your son, did you like the softness and gentleness of the woman? The elder sister was more like a princess than the son in the palace. Why didn't the father choose her?" ?

There is no difference in the path of power, one will not be lenient to the son-in-law just because he is a daughter, nor will he open the door of convenience to the emperor brothers just because they are men.

There is permanence in the way of heaven, it did not begin for Yao, and it did not perish for Jie.

It's not because of compassion that the son-in-law climbed to his current position. If the father doesn't give the son-in-law the position of the crown prince, who else should he give it to? "

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Emperor Yonghe laughed and stood up, walking in front of Wei Huai'en.

"Well said, well said, I have the right vision, you are indeed the one who looks like me the most."

Eunuch Le was called in by Emperor Yonghe, holding a bright yellow imperial edict and handing it to Wei Huai'en.

Wei Huai'en opened it up and saw that it was the imperial decree to make her the crown prince.

She looked up at Emperor Yonghe before she wanted to say anything, but Emperor Yonghe stopped her.

"Although this decree is yours, Duan Wangzhen still won't kill him. Do you understand?"

The gaze that met Wei Huai'en was so powerful that she couldn't allow her to say another word.

The laziness and connivance just now were just to see Wei Huai'en's sincerity and to test whether he has cultivated Wei Huai'en into what he thought he would be.

Wei Huai'en put away the imperial decree, lowered his eyes and said:

"Father, it seems that we are discussing Taoism today. It's just that I'm kneeling, and you are sitting. From the very beginning, you didn't listen to what I said, and took it to heart.

My son, thank you. "

After saying that, he kowtowed deeply, and then left the hall without waiting for Emperor Yonghe's permission.

"Hey……"

Eunuch Le didn't stop Wei Huai'en, so he could only turn his head and walk up to Emperor Yonghe to add something:
"His Highness Jiarou is still the same as before, maybe he forgot the rules when he was happy."

Emperor Yonghe didn't speak, and sat back on the dragon chair again, looking at Danqing who had just finished writing the book case.

Eunuch Le followed his eyes and landed on the drawing paper, he took a deep breath and couldn't think of what to say for a moment.

On the painting is the lifelike ex-empress Jiang Ying.Ten years after she left, Emperor Yonghe, who was best at painting, picked up his pen again and outlined the appearance in his memory.

As cool as he is, he can't deny that he has love for Jiang Ying, and in his life, he only admits that he loves her.

But this supreme power is more important and the most important.Compared to the stability of the country, Jiang Ying and the Jiang family are pitifully light.It's just that he thought that by giving Jiang Ying a choice, he could avoid his regret.

It was the queen who committed suicide voluntarily, it was the queen who abandoned him and wanted to preserve the Zhenxi army.It's not that he doesn't love her, it's not that he forced her.

He found a reason for himself before doing it.

But even though he got his wish, since he had a stable border, and he was not afraid of being overwhelmed by great achievements, there is no Jiang Ying in this world anymore.

These guilts are the reason why he is willing to indulge Wei Huai'en, and also the reason why he wants to suppress Wei Huai'en.

He hoped to see more images of his dead wife in his daughter, but he also didn't want her to resemble Jiang Ying so much that he would never pay attention to the imperial majesty and majesty, living with the kind of wanton that he envied and hated.

He wanted Wei Huai'en to be like him, but he was afraid that she would be like him.Whoever taught him also spurned himself.

So how can he not be contradictory.

Human nature and imperial power are torn and struggled on him.

So he was tired of the court, but he couldn't get rid of his desire for power to turn his hands into clouds and rain.

Rather than love or not, hate or hate, father or father, daughter or daughter, at the moment when Wei Huai'en dared to contradict him, he was actually very satisfied that Wei Huai'en finally hated him purely.

You should hate me.

Emperor Yonghe suddenly said:
"Le Wuyou, tell me, am I getting old?"

"Your Majesty, you are in your prime, why are you talking about this for no reason? You are Your Majesty who will live forever. If you say you are old, how many people in this world dare to say you are young?"

But Eunuch Le was so frightened that he broke out in a thin layer of sweat when he saw his fleshy body. I don't know if this answer will satisfy Emperor Yonghe.

"I already have a lot of gray hair, and recently I always feel that the arrow wounds from that year have flared up, and whether I am old or not is not up to you. But this year, the rain is too heavy, and the Jiangnan rivers have been inspected?"

Hearing that Emperor Yonghe changed the subject, Eunuch Le immediately replied:

"I came to report yesterday, and the inspection has already reached the middle section. With Xuan Yusi here, there will be no more deception in previous years."

"That's fine."

　Ugh……
