Raid

Chapter 234 Youngest Son
After the dismissal, Emperor Hongxing didn't go back to Shigan Hall first, he went to see Li Heng first.

The turmoil outside didn't seem to reach Li Heng's ears.When Emperor Hongxing arrived, the scholars of Chongwenguan were taking an examination of Li Heng's theory.

A child who was only 12 years old would not have been able to take the school exams, but unfortunately, the children of the royal family these years, at this age, can start to appreciate current affairs and state affairs.

The arrival of Emperor Hongxing did not disturb Li Heng. Xueshi Sun wanted to salute, but was stopped by Emperor Hongxing.

He sat outside the screen, and soon, someone presented Li Heng's strategy in front of Emperor Hongxing.

"My lord..." Xueshi Sun stood aside.

"Is this written by the Second Prince?" Emperor Hongxing glanced lightly, and then put it down casually.

"Yes." Although Emperor Hongxing was moody, but Xueshi Sun had been in Chongwen Museum for many years, he understood that His Majesty was not satisfied with the second prince's policy.

But after all, he is a student taught by himself, Xueshi Sun still said: "The Second Highness is young, and it is much better than ordinary people to be able to do this at such a young age."

Emperor Hongxing laughed when he heard the words, "Old man, you said the same thing when the crown prince wrote his first policy theory."

Sun Xueshi bowed his head and remained silent.

The prince's policy theory back then was indeed better than this one, but before the prince, there were people who were in front of him, and the majesty almost picked out the faults all over, but this time the majesty didn't say anything.

"Teach him more about the way of being a gentleman." It doesn't matter if it is a great tool or not, as long as it doesn't grow crooked.

"Yes, Wei Chen takes orders."

"Call him over." Emperor Hongxing said softly.

The servant at the side hurriedly retreated and called Li Heng in.

"My son, see Aye." Li Heng saluted respectfully.

Emperor Hongxing raised his hand, beckoning him to get up.

Li Heng's expression was a bit uneasy, he glanced at Ce Lun next to him, feeling a little uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongxing didn't want to talk about it with him at all, so he led Li Heng to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

He didn't have many concubines, and his children were even rarer. When Li Shengxi was here, the harem was quite lively. After Li Shengxi left the pavilion, the vitality of the harem was also taken away.

Children can't hold back their words. Although Li Heng grew up in the palace, he never experienced the most dangerous years.

"Aye, have you read Er's theory?" Li Heng raised his head and asked.

"Looked."

"Er...how did you write?" Li Heng looked at Emperor Hongxing expectantly.

How is it written?

Emperor Hongxing slightly raised his eyelids, "Not at all."

Li Heng pursed his lips. Although he was not surprised by the result, he was still disappointed. He bowed his head for a long time, and after a while, "I... I will work hard, and I will try my best to catch up with the prince's brother."

Emperor Hongxing smiled, and gently patted Li Heng's head, "Ah Heng, do you miss Ah Xun?"

Li Heng nodded, and he said with a worried face: "I think about it, I really miss the prince's brother. I heard that the prince's brother had an accident, so I don't know how the situation is now?"

"Ah Xun's legs, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand up again." Emperor Hongxing sighed softly.

After Li Xun's accident, he sent the best imperial physician in Linxi City, and even Qu Yingxiao who was beside Axi, but it still didn't help.

Li Heng was in a daze with sadness, he said worriedly: "Then the prince brother must be very sad? The prince brother likes riding horses the most."

Li Xun is just a little reserved in front of Emperor Hongxing, but in front of others, Li Xun will always be that romantic young man.Archery on horseback, shooting tigers with bows, is indescribably high-spirited.

How sad it must be to lose your legs.

Thinking of this, little Li Heng's heart sank, feeling a little uncomfortable.Although he and the prince's elder brother are not of the same mother, their relationship is still very good.

Even though he has been shrouded in the halo of the prince's elder brother since he was a child, this is undeniable.

Emperor Hongxing's expression also darkened. After all, he is the eldest son, and he is the heir who has been trained for many years. Even though he is not very satisfied with Li Xun, seeing Li Xun suffer such a catastrophe, how could he not feel any disturbance?

Seeing his father like this, Li Heng on the side seemed to have thought of something. He blinked and looked up at Emperor Hongxing, "Brother Prince lost his legs, Aye must be the saddest."

"Huh?" Emperor Hongxing came back to his senses, and looked at his youngest son.

Li Heng followed his memory and said: "The prince's elder brother Yu'er is the elder brother, but Yu Aye is the eldest son, and Yu Sheng is the prince. You are Aye, and you are the emperor. You must be the saddest person in the world. At such a juncture, you should take care of yourself for the sake of yourself and the people."

When Emperor Hongxing heard these clichés that shouldn't have come from Li Heng's mouth, the sad look on his face suddenly disappeared, and he turned back to his usual appearance, making people unable to see his joy or anger.There is only a slight hint of sarcasm on his face that can be seen by people - but that is difficult for the 12-year-old Li Heng to see through anyway.

Li Heng's gaze was a little blank, he only felt Emperor Hongxing's hand slowly withdraw.

"Forget it, you should go back first and study hard. There is no rush to discuss policy and theory. Learn more about the way of a sage. Sometimes reading is more about understanding and enlightening your ambition. If you can't do anything else, at least you have to. Slim."

Li Heng couldn't understand these words, but he could realize that his father treated him differently from his elder brother, it could even be said that there was a big difference.

He wanted to ask, but Emperor Hongxing had already left.

He had no choice but to return to his palace sadly.

After Emperor Hongxing returned to Shigan Hall, he summoned the inner guards stationed in Beijing.

"Who taught him what the Second Prince said?" Hongxing Emperor said coldly.

He knew his son well, Li Heng couldn't speak such human words, someone must have taught him something, otherwise, Li Heng would not have said such words.

"It's the imperial concubine."

"Imperial concubine?" Emperor Hongxing murmured these two words softly, his eyes full of ambiguity, "Oh? That's how she taught my children? What is she doing recently?"

Emperor Hongxing had always been ruthless, and he pretended to be the world in his heart. The few true affections were only given to Empress Zhaoren who gave birth to him and his younger sister who was brought up by himself.

His sons and daughters can't make him worry a little bit, let alone the big concubine in the harem.

Whether it is the Chen family or the Xu family, it is only because he followed him in the early years, was beautiful when he was young, and gave birth to his children, that he canonized them with higher titles.He doesn't care much.

The authority in his hands is also stabilized step by step by himself, and he does not need to appoint an unworthy queen.There is no need for a harem to check and balance the previous dynasty.

Most of the time, he knows the truth of preferring to lack.

Whether it is the queen or the throne, it is the same.
