The princess of Huanghuo loves farming

Chapter 228 Secret decree, the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea
In front of the dragon couch, Concubine Cheng was carefully feeding the old emperor with medicine.Although Concubine Cheng's memory is fuzzy, she has been greatly improved after several treatments by Shangguan Liuyun.At the very least, she recognized the man in the dragon robe on the bed as her husband, her God.

The old emperor's illness was real, not like the last time he pretended to be ill to deceive Concubine Ning. In fact, Shangguan Liuyun had said long ago that he could maintain a healthy life for half a year at most.

At this moment, he was staring at Concubine Cheng who was feeding him the medicine, and the smile of another woman in his memory overlapped with the face in front of him.

"Yin'er..." the old emperor couldn't help murmuring, and stroked Concubine Cheng's cheek with trembling hands.

Concubine Cheng looked at the old emperor with confusion, "Your Majesty?"

The sound of 'Emperor' suddenly woke up the old emperor.As if he had been stung, he quickly withdrew his hand, turned his face, and looked at the top of the bed. His profile looked slightly gloomy.

Concubine Cheng was a little frightened, no matter how dull she was, she knew that the emperor was angry, so she tremblingly held the medicine bowl in front of the bed, not knowing what to do.

The two stalemate like this for a while, but it was Eunuch Mo who came into the room to relieve Concubine Cheng: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please see me."

When the old emperor heard Mo Chuan's words, he turned his head, his face had returned to normal, and said, "Show him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Mo walked to the door and shouted: "The Emperor has a decree, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan will see you!"

Huangfu City was waiting outside the door, upon hearing this, he immediately entered the room, came to the old emperor's couch, lifted the crown prince's clothes, knelt down to pay his respects, and said: "I greet my father and emperor."

"Get up." The old emperor glanced at Huangfu City indifferently, and sighed inwardly: I'm afraid he encountered some trouble in the court?Before he asked Mo Chuan, Mo Chuan hesitated and gave a general idea. Now that the prince came to see him, he probably came to ask for help.However, he is still in the world, the prince can still ask him for help, what if he is gone?Who should the prince turn to for help?

"Thank you, father." Huangfucheng stood respectfully in front of the bed, looked at his father, and said: "Father, the dragon is not in good health, and I shouldn't bother you, but this matter is very important, and I can't do it." Do not ask for the emperor's will."

"What is so important? Let me tell you." The old emperor glanced at Huangfu City in a little surprise, feeling something different...

What's different?
The old emperor thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that it was momentum!Now, when the crown prince talks to him, although he is still as respectful as before, he suddenly has an aura of dominating the world!

This is not a result of experience, but sitting in that position, as if with an innate aura!This is exactly what he wanted to see.

After figuring this out, the old emperor's expression became somewhat joyful.

"Returning to my father's words: When I went to the court today, the Ministry of Rites proposed to my ministers about the establishment of a crown princess, saying that I would like to express my joy to my father. My ministers thought that the parents should be the masters of marriage, so my ministers did not dare to make their own opinions, so I came to ask for instructions. Royal father." Huangfucheng said sincerely.

The old emperor was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what problem the Ministry of Rites had given the prince.Whether this promise or not, it will come true anyway, causing dissatisfaction among the officials and even the people of the world.only……

"Who gave you the idea?" He didn't believe it at all. On the first day the prince dealt with the state affairs, facing the difficulties of the officials, he could think of such a solution that gave the best of both worlds.

Huangfucheng's expression turned pale, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "You can't hide anything from your father, it's my son... I went to see Feng Yunkai, but she only asked me a few words, and my son thought of this We have to rely on the prestige of the emperor."

"Oh? She didn't give you any advice, but just asked you a few words?" The old emperor was quite curious, "What?"

Huangfucheng replied truthfully: "Feng Yunkai asked the ministers—who are these ministers most afraid of? The ministers naturally answered—they are most afraid of the father. Then, Feng Yunkai asked the ministers—in that case , the prince still can't think of a way? In the end, the minister came to look for the father."

The old emperor laughed when he heard this.

He knew why the prince emphasized the reason why Feng Yunkai only asked two sentences, but... he wanted to show in front of his father, that the prince actually came up with this solution himself.As for Feng Yunkai, at most it served as a reminder.

"Has the prince always felt resentment in his heart, thinking that my father is partial and doesn't care enough for the prince?" The old emperor asked suddenly, which shocked Huangfu City.

Huangfucheng was only stunned for a few seconds, and immediately bowed his head in fear and replied: "I have never thought of this before. I only blame myself for being incompetent and unable to please my father. I never dare to blame my father for the slightest bit. Please be careful. .”

The old emperor said with a smile: "Prince, there is no need to panic. The reason why I said this is not because I am dissatisfied with the prince, but because I have indeed deliberately neglected the prince, and I am good to other princes."

What?Huangfucheng raised his head in surprise, and called out: "Father Emperor..."

The old emperor sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Since the day you were born, I have made you the crown prince. I have few heirs, and I don't want your brothers to kill each other. Unfortunately, a few years ago, Concubine Ning Guifei stole the jade seal and made you a prince." I can't find it anywhere. For your safety, I have no choice but to trust Concubine Ning and favor your fourth brother. At first I also felt guilty towards you, but then..."

The old emperor glanced at Mo Chuan and said with a smile: "Later, little Mozi comforted me, saying that under adversity, a virtuous king will emerge. This is a kind of training for you. Gradually, I will treat you more and more." It's strict, and I never let you interfere with the government, making you a crown prince, this is actually a means of protecting you... Otherwise, Concubine Ning and her party would have killed you long ago."

"Father...my son...my son..." Huangfucheng was moved and shocked in his heart, and even more flattered!It turned out that his father, whom he had always respected and loved, had never disliked him, but loved and loved him deeply...

With a 'plop', Huangfucheng knelt down, two lines of hot tears streaming down his face: "My son is not filial...failed to appreciate the good intentions of the father..."

The old emperor glanced at Mo Chuan, and ordered: "Take Cheng Fei out, and the others will leave too."

Eunuch Mo's heart froze, knowing that the emperor had something confidential to say to the prince, he bowed immediately: "The servant obeys the order."

After all, Eunuch Mo took all the people out and closed the door tightly.

Huangfucheng was still kneeling in front of the dragon couch, his eyes blurred with tears, the old emperor didn't ask him to get up, he just groped for a small black wooden box from under the bed, and handed it to Huangfucheng.

"Father, this is..." Huangfucheng took it carefully, but didn't dare to open it rashly.

The old emperor nodded slightly: "Open it and take a look."

"Yes, father..." Huangfucheng wiped away his tears, opened the box in his hand very carefully, and what he saw - was an imperial decree!
He raised his head and glanced at his father nervously, then he opened the imperial decree again and read it from right to left.

After reading the contents of the imperial decree, Huangfucheng's face changed slightly.

After a while, Huangfucheng said: "Father, isn't this a little..." Too cruel?

"It's not difficult to be a good emperor, but it's difficult to keep this country." The old emperor's face darkened slightly, and he said: "Prince, you must remember: the emperor has no relatives, loved ones and friends."

Huangfucheng's heart was shocked, and he seemed to realize something, but he still couldn't help saying a good word for the woman: "Father, I think she has no ambitions, and she is loyal to Huangfu's family."

"You are wrong!" The old emperor sat up and said sternly: "It's true that she has no ambitions, but she is definitely not loyal to the imperial family! The reason why she chose to assist you is because of the fact that several princes Among them, she has the deepest friendship with you, and it will be good for her if you ascend the throne in the future!"

Huangfucheng lowered her eyes slightly, she...is that really the case...

The old emperor continued to sternly said: "I can predict that after you ascend the throne, you must rely on Fengzhuang and her intelligence. However, the higher she climbs, the more dangerous she is to you! She is just a woman, She may not be ambitious; Luo Lingqi loves beauties but not country, so he may not have ambitions—but what about their descendants?"

Huangfucheng's body trembled, this, this... Father Huang really had far-sighted thoughts, thinking much farther than him.It's true that Feng Yunkai and Luo Lingqi have no covetous intentions for this Da'an dynasty, but it's hard to guarantee that their descendants will have dissent.Is it rare in history that princes and generals conspire to usurp the throne?But which of the ancestors of these rebellious officials and thieves was not loyal to the current emperor?
"Prince, you must not let anyone know about this secret decree! When you can stand alone and stabilize the Daan Dynasty, you will take out this secret decree and deal with Feng Yunkai!" The old emperor took a breath slightly, and said kindly Said: "This sinner, my father will do it for you; this crime, my father will bear it for you."

"Father, my son understands, please don't worry, Father." Seeing that his father was tired from talking too much, Huangfu City quickly prostrated himself on the ground and received the order.

Only then did the old emperor turn pale, let out a breath, lay down halfway, and said leisurely: "As for the establishment of the crown princess, I will ask Mo Chuan to draft an order and send it to the East Palace. When you go to court tomorrow, follow my order." Just do it."

The Crown Princess... That's right, it's time to choose a wife who is kind, gentle and helpful to the Crown Prince while he is still alive...

"Your minister receives the decree." Huangfucheng was overjoyed, and after this, those ministers had nothing to say!

The old emperor closed his eyes a little tiredly, waved his hand lightly and said, "Okay, you can kneel down."

"Your servant obeys the order, please rest well." Huangfucheng kowtowed to the old emperor in front of the dragon couch before leaving the room lightly.
