Chapter 1218 The Emperor's Concerns
When the Supreme Emperor saw Emperor Mingyuan pondering, he said, "In order to avoid hidden dangers, this is how you send Xiao Lao Shi out to raise him, and you can't stay with Concubine Hu."
Emperor Mingyuan was shocked, "Father, this is absolutely impossible."
"How can't I use it?
When the prince leaves his mother at a young age, he is not easily incited by the palace concubine and the foreign relatives, and the Hu concubine can also serve you with all his heart."
The Supreme Emperor thought about it and looked like he thought this idea was wonderful, "That's what it means to make a king and give it to the palace!"
Emperor Mingyuan was so anxious that he said, "This is just the random guess of the old ministers. The little old man is still young, how can he be sent out of the palace?"
The Supreme Emperor said lightly: "Isn't it enough to choose some trustworthy people to go out and serve?"
"Who can be better than mother's care?
Father, Xiao Lao Shi was born by Concubine Hu, who worked hard to conceive for ten months. The separation of mother and son is a tragedy in the world, and the son cannot do this."
Emperor Mingyuan firmly opposed it.
The Supreme Emperor frowned, "I don't want this, I don't want it, what do you want?"
Emperor Mingyuan looked at him and sighed helplessly, "I decided to choose a concubine!"
"Since you have decided, why are you asking me?
Go, go, Gu doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, and he has ruined Gu's majesty and made Gu like a woman."
The Supreme Emperor vomited betel nut, but he had no teeth and couldn't bite it. He glared at Xiaoyao Gong fiercely. This old man said that betel nut is the same as smoking a pipe, where is the same?
Smoking a pipe without chewing it with your teeth.
Emperor Mingyuan retreated helplessly.
After Emperor Mingyuan left, Xiaoyao looked at his back and said, "The emperor is still unwilling. He doesn't know your hard work."
The Supreme Emperor took a sip of tea, "He must first know that being an emperor is not his own business. If the previous dynasty needs to manage it, the harem must delegate power. When he is an emperor, he cannot make decisions in everything in the harem and cannot tolerate too willful and arbitrary.
Concubine Hu is still young, and it’s long live when he gets old. The power that Concubine Hu has accumulated over the years is definitely a threat to the prince. Even if Concubine Hu doesn’t have this idea, will the Tenth Emperor have this idea in the future?
She will continue to have a prince in the future, can she also guarantee that those children do not have one?
If he did not choose a concubine for the sake of Concubine Hu, how many ministers would flatter Concubine Hu and Concubine Zhenbei Hou want to become the humeral minister who assisted the young master?
Zhenbei Hou is a reckless person and is very easy to be urged. Didn’t he try to be so powerful that day?
Fortunately, I hit it, these are hidden dangers, so I have to be careful."
Xiaoyao Gong nodded and looked at him, "Liu'er, you said you have worked hard too. You have retired and you have to plan for the Northern Tang for a hundred years."
The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes, "This country seems to be named Yuwen, but it is actually from thousands of people. If the royal family makes a mistake, the people in the world will suffer and be tired. If anyone can be guarded against, they must be guarded against. Concubine Hu is wronged?
It must be wronged, but are the other concubines in the harem not wronged?
For the sake of the country, sometimes some people must be wronged. Isn’t the prince wronged?
Think about everything the prince and the princess have obtained over the years, and they have worked hard to achieve everything they have been through hard work. Who has ever given it?
Sometimes I can’t even bear to see the orphan.”
Xiaoyao Gong said thoughtfully: "When the prince ascended the throne in the future and wanted to choose a concubine, what would you guess the princess do?"
The emperor's expression slowed down, "He can't choose a concubine. There was an emperor who deposed the harem in the previous dynasty and only guarded the monogamous emperor."
"Are you too biased?"
Xiaoyao Gong was stunned.
The Supreme Emperor gave him a blank look, "What's this called partiality?
I ask you, what is the most important reason why concubines in the harem enter the palace?"
"Nature is to prosper and reproduce."
"The crown princess has given birth to five sons, and his descendants are prosperous, right?"
"Uh...forget it!"
Mr. Xiaoyao smiled again, "The emperor now has many sons, so why are he still fighting for it?
And now you ask him to choose a concubine, with the purpose of confirming that the position of the prince is not threatened."
"His son was not born to a concubine, but the Crown Princess gave birth to five sons and had one mother and had a common mind. Can it reduce the possibility of fighting?
Also, why did Gu immediately become the grandson after he appointed the crown prince? He knew from their early age that Baoer would become the emperor in the future. This understanding became deeply rooted in their hearts as they grew older. Baoer was the legitimate son and eldest son, and he had other thoughts, but wasn’t there no reason to rebel?
You should not find a reason to do something big?”
"You're right!"
Mr. Xiaoyao leaned against him, "To be honest, are you partial to the Crown Princess?"
The Supreme Emperor flew his eyes at him, "Yes!"
Mr. Xiaoyao grinned, “Aren’t you enough to say this?
And a lot of analysis was also done."
The Supreme Emperor said unconvincedly: "I am not partial to you for no reason. Speaking of the Crown Princess's family, what big things can that guy do?
If the prince becomes the emperor in the future, if he chooses a concubine, the beginning of trouble."
Xiaoyao said justice: "But this harem has always been a means to win over the previous dynasty. If the harem is abolished, wouldn't it be a pity?"
"The prince is still young, and now he has shown his talent. He has promoted a group of young officials. These people are loyal to him. And now, their brothers have basically united. It is difficult to make trouble in the future. Just guard against those who have not grown up and have no personality. There is no need to win over the court officials by choosing concubines to stabilize the hearts of the officials in the court. The prince has such courage."
When the Supreme Emperor said this, he sighed softly, "The emperor is wise now, but he has not valued the prince the most in recent years. He is biased. Do you admit it?
The prince had great talents and strategies and would definitely make drastic reforms against the Northern Tang Dynasty. However, the emperor was conservative and believed that being inactive was the most safe. Take the medical reform and gunpowder weapons as an example. He was unwilling to change, afraid of tigers in front and wolves in the back, but these were of great use to the long-term stability of the country. If he did not lack this courage and ordered them to do it, the Beimo would be a little afraid of. The stability of the country was never obtained by giving in to concessions and tolerance. He had not understood this point yet.
After saying that, if there is a rift between them, and they will be spoiled by Concubine Hu for a long time, once the conflict between father and son reaches a point, can you make sure that he will not have the idea of abolishing the crown prince?"
Mr. Xiaoyao was amazed, "Six, I have to say that if you had not retired due to illness, the current situation in the Northern Tang Dynasty would not be the only one!"
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "It is a blessing given by God to live now. It can make Gu watch them and ask a few words at the right time. If he dies, he will never see it in the future, and he will not be able to help him. Gu put a large amount of gold into the warehouse, which is actually just to give the emperor a confidence and we are not afraid of it if he wants to fight, but he just didn't understand it. Of course, he can't say that he is a fool. During his reign, he did a good job. For example, he implemented a series of heavy commercial measures, which will allow the people to live a good life."
