Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 717
In Jingyang Palace, Zhu Qiyu took a sip from the cup of tea, and couldn't help sighing softly. He naturally understood what Wu Shi said.

However, sometimes people are so contradictory.

The more he understands the coldness of the Tian family, the more he understands that people are always entangled with interests, the more Zhu Qiyu hopes to have pure feelings that are not mixed with other things, at least, it cannot be purely calculated for interests.

Just like Wu's liking of Hang's, although Zhu Qiyu thinks it's inappropriate, he can accept it. After all, Hang's character is often likable.

However, now Mrs. Wu told her plainly that between her and Mrs. Hang, it was not Mrs. Hang who respected her. Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel a little lost.

To put it bluntly, Wu Shi dotes on Hang Shi not only because she can please Wu Shi, but more importantly, she can be obedient and willing to be obedient. Who wouldn't like such a person?
This may look good, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually very cruel.

Because this person can be the Hang family today, or any other concubine in the harem tomorrow, and they are no different to the Wu family.

This truth is not difficult to understand, but it is always difficult to accept when you really peel off the superficial tenderness and put the facts in front of you.

There was silence in Jingyang Palace, neither of them spoke, now it is spring, the stove has already been turned off, the windows are open, the breeze blows, the Heart Sutra on the table is stirred slightly, only the sound of wind is left in the warm pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu understood that this was Wu's teaching him a truth.

One, he has understood for a long time, but is still unwilling to do the truth, that is...

The Son of Heaven is different from the vassal king. If it is a vassal king, it doesn't matter how casual he is. As long as he does not commit any unforgivable crimes, the life of the vassal king of the Zhu family is still very comfortable.

However, as the Son of Heaven, he is doomed to be lonely, and to become a ruthless person!
Originally, Zhu Qiyu felt that Wu's promotion of Hang's was firstly because she would please Wu's favor, and secondly because her situation was similar to that of Wu's, which made Wu feel pity.

However, after what he said just now, he realized that his concubine mother is far less fragile than he thought, and her old man's state of mind is stronger than anyone else.

What she did in the harem, whether it was to remind herself not to shake the Empress Yuan at the beginning, or to praise the Hang family and indifferent to the Wang family later, in fact, there was only one goal she wanted to achieve.

That is, I hope Zhu Qiyu can understand that as the emperor, he can love any concubine, but he cannot love any concubine.

Devotion, for the emperor, is a sin, and for the concubine, it is a disaster!

All these things that happened in the harem, in the final analysis, are Wu's hope that he can understand this truth.

But he not only understands this truth, but also understands it much deeper than Wu Shi.

Because he has seen with his own eyes that if Xianzong hadn't favored the Wan family exclusively, he would not have left such a deep shadow on Xiaozong; The concubine has an appointment, and there will be no 20-year national dispute.

Although it is said that all of these are mixed with various complicated political factors, but in the end, it is because of the emperor's affection that caused a lot of turmoil.

To a certain extent, what Wu did was right. From the time Zhu Qiyu really invested in the harem, he couldn't get it right.

This has nothing to do with a certain person, the problem lies with Zhu Qiyu himself, but...

"Mother and concubine, to me, you, the empress, and the noble concubine are all my relatives, different from...anyone else."

Zhu Qiyu lowered his head, his voice was a little hoarse, Wu looked up, and was surprised to find that his son, at some point, had tear stains on the corners of his eyes.

Then, the next sentence directly penetrated her defenses.

"Mother, Brother Yu has had a hard life in this life..."

"At home, just let me be willful once!"

With just this sentence, Wu Shi froze in place, and stopped fiddled with the beads in his hand. The voice of this sentence was very soft, but Wu Shi could hear the exhaustion and helplessness from the heart.

So, for the first time in this period of time, Wu shi took a serious look at his son.

From the beginning of the Civil War, this usually meek and timid son showed his edge in front of her for the first time, and proved himself time and time again.

Above the court, he calmly subdued the officials, and outside the border, he planned strategies and tried his best to turn the sky. Whether he was facing the young people in the court or facing the threat of ambition on the grassland, he could remain calm and calm. Fearless in times of danger.

Although the Wu family lived in the deep palace, they also clearly knew that Zhu Qiyu was praised by countless ministers in the outer dynasty.

But only when it comes to the matter of the harem, sometimes she feels that her son is rational and clear, but sometimes, she feels that he is a little unclear.

Therefore, she reminded, corrected, and thought of various methods both openly and secretly, so that her son could be a perfect and impeccable son of heaven in the inner palace.

However, until now, she realized that she had always overlooked one point, that is, the young king in front of her.

He is a man of flesh and blood first, and then he is the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
As an emperor, he is the father of all the people and sets an example for the world. However, as a person of flesh and blood... it will be tiring!
Wu Shi looked at Zhu Qiyu, the person in front of her was more like the cowardly child she was most familiar with, who liked to stay in the palace. However, no matter whether it was cowardly or powerful, the person in front of her was her only child after all...

For a moment, Wu's heart was a little sour, she hesitated for a moment, she closed her eyes slightly, sighed softly, then opened her eyes, a smile appeared on her face again, and said.

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? You are busy with government affairs outside the court, and Aijia will always pay attention to the troubles in the harem for you."

"It's also because the empress is inconvenient these days. If it was an ordinary time, the Ai family wouldn't bother to worry about these things."

"Forget it, since you don't want to, Aijia can do as you like regarding the matter of the empress and noble concubine in the future."

In the end, the Wu family still made concessions, and his son felt pain. It is true that since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, the Wu family had higher and higher expectations of him.

However, just like Zhu Qiyu knows that the emperor is ruthless, but still can't let go of the fetters in his heart, although Wu knows that if he continues to persevere, he will definitely be able to change Zhu Qiyu, but in this situation, he heard his son's voice hoarse Calling her "mother" all the time, she finally decided not to be cruel...
