After Li Chengjing walked into the Qianqing Palace, the emperor didn't ask anything outside, nor did Li Chengjing mention it.

The father and son knew that the second prince had just left, but no one mentioned it, but they circumvented the topic by accident.

The emperor propped his forehead with one hand, and Li Chengjing saw it and asked, "Your Majesty, did you commit a head illness again?"

The emperor sighed and said: "It's better not to bother, it hurts your brain as soon as you use your brain."

Li Chengjing heard a frown: "Your Majesty, this is your child's doctor."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need, the old one is sick, and it's useless when the doctor comes. This is the fold of Jiangnan's sub-tour, you see."

The emperor said that he picked up a notebook and handed it to Li Chengjing. The **** beside him caught it with a plate, and his hands were presented to Li Chengjing.

Li Chengjing picked it up and glanced away, most of it was beautiful words, still for him.

Li Chengjing's eyes moved slightly, and when he let go of the show, everything became traceless again. Li Chengjing returned the fold to the emperor, and said: "Fan Xingdao is wrong, children are ashamed and dared not to be. The children are only borrowing the light of the holy, so that all adults can look up to them. How will the trip to Jiangnan be so smooth, and will not be commended by all adults. "

The emperor threw the folds back into the pile he had read, and the old **** was saying: "You do n’t have to be humble, there are no servants under the prestigious name, so many courtiers praise you, and even the people of Jiangnan worship your longevity. The stele is naturally your job well. What do you think of this seal? "

The emperor threw another letter, and Li Chengjing took a look at it and found that it was the impeacher who impeached the emperor. The courtier wrote a big push, which involved Shang Shang to the death of the Prince of Emperor Renzong. He was all accusing the emperor of conniving at the harem, and the Yang family was ruining the dynasty, and murdering the former empress. Now that the Yang family has been convicted, Yang Fucheng's daughter is also not eligible to be the lord of the harem, but when it is abolished.

Li Chengjing looked carefully this time, and he actually finished it very quickly, but he still read the words one by one, taking the time to put down the setback: "This man is the spokesperson of Yushitai. Almost none of the hundred officials have been ignored by him. The matter of the Yang family is now at the forefront of the storm. He aimed at the queen. Although he was rude, he was justified. "

"Oh?" The emperor responded in amusement, asking, "What do you think?"

Li Chengjing looked down, collected his expression, and said flatly: "It's about the queen, the sons and daughters dare not make rash statements. Being a politician and appointing others in terms of aptitude should be treated equally. When dealing with disputes. , Whether things are right or wrong, right or wrong, should be handled according to the law. "

According to the law, the emperor pressed his hand on the fold, and Shen Sheng said: "You are still young, full of blood and determined to make progress. But things in the world are not black and white, and you are not a right or wrong to be a monarch. You have to know that there is also humanity outside of law. "

"Children naturally know that life is a matter of life, and human relations can't help it. But it is impossible to do everything to obey the destiny of human beings, and to move the children to be human, but since the law is established, the law should be fulfilled as the obligation of the world to the public."

The emperor was a little angry, and his face did not appear, and he asked dumbly: "So, do you agree to dispose of the queen and abolish her position?"

Li Chengjing kept his eyes closed, but silence was already a statement. The emperor waited for a long time, but Li Chengjing did not speak, and he became more and more annoyed: "I thought you were cautious and steady, but I didn't expect you to be so radical. For the prince, the benevolence, and the monarch, let's look at the overall situation and see the sand in the eyes. . "

Li Chengjing heard the emperor's comments, and he had not moved for a long time. He knew long ago that what he said would irritate the emperor, but he did not expect that the emperor's evaluation of him was like this.

He remained silent for a long time and looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty thinks I am not kind enough?"

Saying the eldest son in this way, the emperor also felt a little overwhelmed. For the Yang family, he contributed the most. But the emperor's guilt was like a spray, and it was gone after a roll in Hong Tao. The emperor still grimaced and said: "Your efforts have been in the eyes of your father for years, but you have taken it too seriously. What is right? What is wrong? Legal principles are human relations, which are in the interest of most people. It is wrong to make most people dissatisfied. The queen has been in the palace for nearly 20 years, giving birth to my children, hosting the harem, or the biological mother of your second brother. When it comes to rituals, you should call her Mother. You are a family. It ’s time for you to close the door and say that it ’s too boring to move out of the law. ”

family? Li Chengjing's face was calm, and his eyes looked at the emperor deeply: "But your majesty, you ordered the death of the Yang family not long ago, and confiscated the Yang family's property, and never reused Yang Fucheng and Yang Shilong. Even Yang's niece Dou , You are decreed to be deprived of the title and degraded to the common people. You treat the Yang family's niece so desperately, why did you think of your family's affection when facing Queen Yang? "

The emperor was annoyed and frowned and said, "Why are the Yang family and the queen confusing? The Yang family dominates the government, and the government is in trouble. Of course it should be eliminated. But the queen married the royal family and served me for many years. How could the Yang family ignore the Queen ’s hard work for many years and shake the Queen ’s position as a wife? "

Li Chengjing had been listening quietly, his hands clenched into fists without realizing it, and his blue muscles burst. In the end, it was a couple of nearly 20 years. Even though the emperor did n’t like Queen Yang very much, he was his own woman after all. The emperor could n’t bear to make him too embarrassed.

What about him, what is he?

Li Chengjing couldn't help but ridicule in his heart. What is ridiculous, because the emperor has not abolished his prince for many years, Li Chengjing has been moved and full of pressure all these years, and he has been restrained by the standards of the prince. However, when he was about to fulfill his original promise to his mother, his father, his monarch, denied all his efforts in one sentence.

The emperor said he was not kind. Injustice, this is a fundamental denial of a prince. It has nothing to do with ability. You don't even need to work hard anymore. As a prince but not benevolent, there is no need to work hard.

Li Chengjing's feelings about the emperor over the years have been complicated. For his father, he was naturally eager, and the pressure from the outside world was numerous, but the emperor always insisted that he be the prince. Li Chengjing was very grateful, and he dared not slack off. But from the perspective of his son, he had a grudge against the emperor.

If it were not for the emperor to do nothing, he would not be left outside, the Queen Zhong would not be killed innocently, nor would the Zhong family be destroyed.

Over the years he has been so grateful and resentful, eager and restrained. He refused to call the emperor's father for this reason.

Because it cares, it is awkward. Just like Cheng Yujin, she didn't care at all, no matter to the Cheng family or the emperor, all kinds of titles came.

Now Li Chengjing feels that there is a piece of cold in his heart. It turned out that he longed for the fatherly love that he hadn't dared to approach for many years, but it was just a phantom he imagined.

In the emperor's heart, neither he nor Queen Yang, but a symbol. As the son of the emperor, he must sell his life for the emperor. The emperor said to stop him, he must stop the hatred of himself and his mother for many years. The emperor wiped out the family of Queen Yang, and finally, let Queen Yang honestly make a positive wife. He should not blame because of the family, nor can he neglect to manage the harem because he has no hope.

He, Yang's family, and Queen Yang's are nothing more than tools of the emperor. Everything they do must satisfy the image of the family and the court in the emperor's mind. If someone surpasses it, remove it.

In the emperor's heart, he is the center of everything. Everyone should have no emotions, use it for him, and accompany him to act as a prince and a filial piety.

He even wanted the emperor to have feelings for him and feel guilty for Queen Zhong. It's naively funny.

Li Chengjing became cold in his heart and his tone slowly blew out: "Your Majesty now takes care of the husband and wife. What about my mother? She is also His Majesty's wife. Did she die?"

"Come on!" The emperor shouted and clapped hard at the table. The eunuchs serving inside and outside knelt down one after another, dare not show up. The needle fell in the Qing Palace for a while, the emperor stared angrily at Li Chengjing, and Li Chengjing always stood straight.

In the end, Li Chengjing did not admit his mistake, but raised his hand and owed his body, saying, "Children retreat. His Majesty Wang takes care of his body."

Li Chengjing turned and walked out of the Qianqing Palace. Behind him, he could vaguely hear the sound of clapping the table, and the flattering voice of the eunuch's persuasion.

He didn't pause and didn't step back out the door. After walking out of the dry palace, the sunlight spread down and dazzled people.

He and the emperor finally came to this point, and their father, son, and son were mutually jealous.

In the first month of Empress Yang ’s death, the emperor slowly discovered that the original supremacy and the power of unrestricted people were so fascinating.

What the emperor wanted to do, no longer needed Yang Shoufu's consent, where the harem wanted to go, and no need to worry about Empress Yang's face. He didn't even have to tolerate any one person anymore. In the past twenty-five years, he paid respects to Queen Mother Yang and asked for peace sooner or later, and he didn't have to endure it.

Before the harem, no one can restrain him. The emperor gradually became obsessed with this feeling of power, but his health was getting worse, and the headaches that occurred from time to time restrained most of his energy.

The emperor suddenly, like many old kings, began to long for longevity.

The second prince ran to the palace every day, greeted the emperor with warmth, and served tea and medicine. And Li Chengjing is a bit stiff here.

The emperor had a headache and could not manage politics, so he had to come to these things. The setbacks will never be approved, and the daily emergencies and trivial matters will emerge one after another, and no one can be delayed.

The emperor enjoyed the power of the emperor, but all his responsibilities and obligations were transferred to Li Chengjing. The second prince served his filial piety in front of the emperor every day and felt at ease to be a filial son. However, Li Chengjing had to deal with government affairs and had to negotiate with courtiers. Take time to ask the Qing Palace. Which one is more important, which one is better, is clear at a glance.

Li Chengjing never said these things, but Cheng Yujin was very distressed when he saw them. After Li Chengjing returned again in the middle of the night, Cheng Yujin brought him hot tea and knelt on the couch rubbing his forehead.

"Your Highness, you are so hard, but there is no love there. King Shou is doing filial piety next to His Majesty every day, saying something paradoxical, I heard that His Majesty has gradually been whispering in the past few days, I think you are drunk with power, and the authorities have done everything. , Not loyal and honest. "

Li Chengjing sighed, holding Cheng Yujin's hand and pulling her into her arms, and naturally placed her forehead on Cheng Yujin's shoulder. "I will do my duty and be fair, and let him go with a little rumor."

"Follow him?" Cheng Yujin raised his eyebrows and said, "His Royal Highness, if my children and I are said to be unlucky, you might ruin Gong Wei, do you follow these rumours?"

Li Chengjing raised his head, his eyebrows were cold, and there was no tiredness: "Who said that?"

"I said it myself." Cheng Yujin sat down and moved to Li Chengjing. Although the expression was still very arrogant, the hand quietly dragged Li Chengjing's sleeve. "I am just giving an example."

"Can this be done analogously?"

Cheng Yujin stared at him, suddenly turned his head and said, "Your Highness, have you noticed that you have changed recently?"

Li Chengjing's expression twitched slightly, obviously tense.

Cheng Yujin still tilted his head and looked at him, saying: "You used to be introverted and introverted, and treat people like jade, but now, you never care about the reaction of the other party when you speak, which is quite sharp and aggressive."

Li Chengjing froze, seemingly not expecting Cheng Yujin to say so. A person can't perceive himself when he changes, and only those around him can see it clearly.

Xu Shi saw Li Chengjing's silence, Cheng Yujin suddenly laughed, and took the initiative to surround Li Chengjing, saying, "His Royal Highness, do you think I blame you for changing? People always have to change. When I was at the Cheng family before, I had to be smooth in every word I do n’t dare to offend anyone, but now, when I say that if I shake my grandmother ’s face, I ’ll blame it. You ’ve never blamed me for being arrogant. ”

Li Chengjing reacted and wanted to give her a face. But Cheng Yujin took the initiative to hug him and he couldn't resist. Li Chengjing hugged Cheng Yujin's waist with restraint and still taught her with a cold face: "Nonsense, dare to make fun of me?"

Cheng Yujin thought to avoid you if she was really angry, her arms were all wrapped up, and she pretended to be like her. Cheng Yujin took care of his prince's face and nodded, saying, "Yes, I have to get in. I'll spare your prince for this time?"

"Dare you next time?"

"Correct."

Li Chengjing couldn't help but smile, he squeezed his brows helplessly, the exhaustion of the day seemed to dissipate. Cheng Yujin saw that there was finally a smile on his face, and slowly withdrew his hand and sat back to his original position: "You finally laughed just fine. These days you are too tight, I don't think I care about you, but you I'm not working hard with myself. "

"I care too much about being a qualified prince. In the past two decades, this is all my faith. I thought I did it. Now, it seems not."

Li Chengjing has some emotions. These words, these doubts, he was never exposed in front of the courtiers, faced with Liu Yi and others, he was always a wise prince with a strong sense of integrity. Only in front of Cheng Yujin would he show his true heart.

In various senses, they are very similar. Those who have not experienced it will not understand the degree to which one can blame oneself, nor the pressure behind their perfection.

Cheng Yujin knew very well about Li Chengjing's sigh, she even knew where the crux was. But although she understood, she could not speak.

The reason is actually very simple. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers. How can one country accommodate two kings?

Li Chengjing is so tired these days, it is not because he has to approve the mankind to deal with the government, but also to take care of his father's sensitive emperor's heart. After Li Chengjing changed his fold, he had to send it to the Qianqing Palace for the emperor to see. The emperor's excessive labor can cause headaches, so those so-called "trivial and meaningless" folds are handed over to the prince for treatment. After Li Chengjing has screened them, the emperor will look over them.

The emperor is typically a misbehaving person who also blindly commands. He was obviously not good at doing these things, or he would not be held by Yang Shoufu for twenty years. However, now that the power is in power, the emperor tasted the addiction of the Lord of the World and refused to let go. The emperor took a command of chaos, but he was so enjoyable that all the remaining mess was cleaned up by Li Chengjing. Not only has Li Chengjing been tired recently, but the Cabinet and six Shangshu books are also tired.

But that was the emperor, who dare to tell the emperor the truth. The people had no choice but to respond, barely making a smile, and after the emperor had become addicted, they worked overtime to get the wrong back. The six books still have a division of labor, and each person is responsible for a part, but Li Chengjing has to take over everything here.

Just think about how tired Li Chengjing should be. If all matters are left to Li Chengjing alone, the efficiency will be much faster.

Cheng Yujin understood that the Cabinet understood that most of the officials understood, and Li Chengjing himself understood.

How could Li Chengjing not know where the road is going to break the game today, but this kind of saying, as soon as it is said, angers Tianwei and makes taboos.

For today's plan, only wait. Li Chengjing knows everything in his heart, but he has been alone for too long. Occasionally, he also needs to talk to someone.

After Li Chengjing finished speaking, he waited a long time and couldn't help lowering his eyes to staring at Cheng Yujin: "If you don't go on the road, can't you stay a little longer?"

Hold the talent and release it at once, what is the system?
