In the face of the prince's hysteria, the emperor standing at the door just nodded his head and answered a word, and then turned to leave, as soon as the emperor left, the prince seemed to be instantly drained of his strength and collapsed to the ground, he looked out of the door, and the emperor's back gradually faded away.

Suddenly, the fear in the prince's heart changed, no longer the fear of death, but a fear that he rarely experienced, like a child standing alone at home, standing at the door, seeing his father with his bags on his back, and he was the only one left in the house.

It was as if he had suddenly returned to the day when he learned of his mother's death, and he fell to his knees and clenched his fists.

"I don't want to be an emperor anymore."

The crown prince sat there and looked at the distant father who could no longer be seen: "You don't understand me, you don't understand me, I knew a long time ago that you didn't plan to make me the emperor, you chose the second brother Changye, it's okay....... The second brother is so good, he chooses the right one, he is better than me, if I become the emperor, I should not be as good as him. ”

After a long, long time, the prince let out a long breath: "I just don't want you to feel better, you haven't made the queen mother feel better for so many years, you don't know how bitter she is, you don't know how difficult she is, haven't you found out, even if you treat her better with hypocrisy, she will be happy like a child, you send someone to send her something, she immediately made you a dress with her own hands, but you haven't worn it once, I'm afraid you will still think that there is a needle hidden in this dress to pierce you......."

"Father, you are always ruthless."

The prince stood up with his hands on the table: "I can say by myself that I don't want the position of prince, but you can't take it away, it was the queen mother who fought for me, from now on, I will use my best strength to make you feel bad, you are not a qualified father, nor a qualified husband." ”

His hand clutched on the table: "I want you to die when you go to the Northern Frontier, it seems to be right." ”

His words can only be said to himself, he will not tell anyone in this way, even when Cao Anqing is still there, he has not mentioned a word, he doesn't want people to see through how weak his heart is.

"The rest of our lives won't be long, let's hurt each other."

The prince sat down in his chair with a blank look in his eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, no one told him what to do was wrong, his mother was reluctant to reprimand him, let alone reprimand, he couldn't speak loudly, he always got praise from his mother, so he felt that he had always been excellent, because he thought he was excellent, he wanted to be recognized by his father, but his father seemed to always be that kind of cold and indifferent.

Life is boring.

The prince sat there, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the mess in his head flashed one by one, as if someone was turning a book in his head, every page was the past, every page was related to his mother, but there were very few pages related to his father.

Half an hour later, the East Warm Pavilion.

Lai Cheng came in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the emperor's face was ugly like paper, Lai Cheng didn't know how long he hadn't seen the emperor's face to this point, think about it, looking back at it for so many years, I haven't seen it a few times, the last time the emperor was like this When the queen died, everyone knew that the emperor and the queen had a bad relationship, very bad, but that day, Lai Cheng saw such a piercing sadness in the emperor's eyes, he just didn't want to express it.

"Your Majesty?"

Lai Cheng bowed, he wanted to ask His Majesty what he wanted, but in the end, his tone only changed slightly, and he didn't ask anything else.

"Sit down."

The Emperor pointed to the opposite side.

"Yes."

Lai Cheng sat down on the chair with his buttocks, and the emperor did not look at him, but looked at a blank decree on the table in front of him, which was not blank, and a few drops of ink fell on it, but there was not a word.

"Lai Cheng, am I an unqualified father?"

Lai Cheng could see that the emperor's mood was bad to the extreme, and he was not looking for him as a courtier at this moment, but as a friend, and he was a real friend who could find him at this time, so Lai Cheng was moved and panicked for a while, he knew that if he answered His Majesty's question as a minister, it would definitely not be the answer His Majesty wanted.

So such a question, Lai Cheng pondered for a long time, and let himself think about it as a friend.

"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this question for a while."

Lai Cheng looked embarrassed: "I can't understand it, I can't realize it." ”

The emperor didn't react at first, but after a while he came to his senses, and was laughed angrily by Lai Cheng: "Can you be serious." ”

Lai Cheng sighed: "If the minister is calling His Majesty Dad now, it should be too late, so I can't realize it, Your Majesty...... The minister didn't talk about His Majesty's question just now, the minister just thought of the minister's father who chatted with the minister once when he was a child, and he said Cheng'er, what do you think of your father? The minister thought you were not very good at the time, how could you have so much time to accompany me when you were busy with various things on weekdays, and the minister didn't dare to say it, for fear of being beaten, so he said that nine points were good, and my father was very happy at the time, saying that nine points were good and good, and the difference was one point. ”

Lai Cheng glanced at the emperor: "At that time, the minister thought bah, you are nine points good, ninety-one points are not good." ”

The Emperor glared at him.

Lai Cheng smiled and continued: "It's just that I was young at that time, and I didn't know until I became an official later, it turned out that when a man reaches a certain age, he will really lose something while gaining something, and no one can control it." ”

His tone gradually became serious: "When I think back to when my father asked me, it should be that he has tried his best to spare all the time he can to accompany me, and then I think back, no matter how late he comes home, he will always come to see me first, as long as he is free, he will take me to play for a while, when I was a child, I thought he was perfunctory to me, and later I learned that I would be so tired when I became an adult, so tired that I wanted to be paralyzed and motionless when I came home." ”

The Emperor fell silent.

Lai Cheng continued: "Later, the minister had a child, and this child was not as sensible as I was at that time, so I ......."

He glanced at the emperor: "One day he suddenly asked the minister, and said...... Am I your own? ”

The emperor shook his head slightly: "The court is complicated, and it has really worked hard for you." ”

Lai Cheng sat up straight: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by the minister, Yulu is no longer rising?" ”

Emperor: "......"

Lai Cheng laughed: "The minister knows what His Majesty means, and His Majesty feels indebted, so he has always been tolerant of His Royal Highness the Prince, but Your Majesty has not thought about it, this tolerance is alienation." ”

He looked at the emperor and said: "So after the minister's child asked the minister, the minister beat him hard, and he hugged the minister's thigh and shouted to his father to spare his life, since then the father and son have gotten along a lot more harmoniously, the child makes a mistake and does not educate him is not good, and it is even worse to accommodate him, if you want to talk about the maturity of ideas, the children of poor families will always be more mature than the children of rich and noble families, that is the family background is educating him, and the children of the rich and noble families, it is the family background that tolerates him, the minister still remembers that when he first entered the academy, the old dean said that he read the books of sages, When I convince people with virtue and reason, I will never do anything, and it will be insulting to Sven, and he beat me up that day. ”

The Emperor asked, "Then I should go and beat him up?" ”

Lai Cheng leaned over: "The minister didn't dare to instigate the emperor to beat the prince." ”

He raised his head: "But the crown prince doesn't know what's wrong, Your Majesty should tell him." ”

The Emperor nodded: "I hope it's still too late." ”

Then he shook his head again: "He's thirty years old, and he still needs me to tell him what's wrong?" What were I doing when I was thirty years old! ”

Lai Cheng was stunned.

The emperor was silent for a long time: "I ask you a question. ”

Lai Chengdao: "Your Majesty, please ask." ”

The emperor hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it true that most fathers will beat their children if they are disobedient?" ”

Lai Cheng: "Yes. ”

The emperor didn't know what it was like, he was the emperor, and there was no way he could beat his own child.

"Is it fun?"

The Emperor asked again.

Lai Cheng thought for a while: "It's not fun. ”

Lai Chengdao: "Don't fight, it's uncomfortable, let's fight, it's distressing to watch." ”

The emperor did not feel this way either.

"I don't know what that feels like."

The emperor suddenly thought of Shen Leng.

That child, he hasn't beaten it, but others have beaten him, so he will know better how to observe words and looks, how to be careful, how to grow, how to think more, his life is completely different from the prince's, the prince has been indulged by his mother since he was a child, he gives whatever he wants, and everything is right, but Shen Leng wants nothing and nothing is right.

The two children were completely different from each other due to their different upbringing, but in reality, they were only one year apart.

The emperor sighed: "It turns out that I thought I had learned everything, nothing could stump me, whether it was inside or outside the court, or the whole country, I was not afraid of any opponent, but only in the face of family affairs, I always felt powerless, just now, I was not only angry with the prince, I was also angry with Concubine Yi, the same, I felt that the prince was not angry and I felt that Concubine Yi was not angry." ”

He let out a long breath: "Governing the country, I am not afraid, governing the family, I feel that I will not know anything, the only thing I have not learned may be how to be a good father, I watched the prince take a crooked path, but I looked coldly, as if it was not my child, and even sometimes I looked at it with sarcasm...... It wasn't until later that I realized that I had made it wrong, and I wanted to make amends, but it was too late, so what else could I do? There is nothing I can do other than continue to tolerate some of his mistakes and let him experience them for himself. ”

The emperor looked at Lai Cheng: "So I handed Changye over to Concubine Zhen when he was young, I know very well that if Changye continues to let Concubine Yi to educate, it may be the next Changze, Changze still has someone to teach him some methods, but what about Changye?" It will only be cowardly...... I asked Changye to follow Concubine Zhen, follow Shen Leng, and go to the Liuyun Society, to make him strong, the people say that the Heavenly Family is always ruthless, but I never thought about where I have so much time, Lai Cheng ......"

"The minister is here."

"Go back, go home early today to accompany the family."

The emperor got up and walked to the window.

"There are still a lot of things in the minister's hands that have not been disposed of, not today, and I will go home in a few days."

"Let's go back today."

The emperor glanced back at Lai Cheng: "Because I don't want to give you a lot of money." ”

Lai Cheng laughed: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

The emperor waited for Lai Cheng to leave and then was silent for a long time, then looked back at the door: "Release the boat on behalf of you, go to the East Palace to pass the decree." ”

Dai Fangzhou hurriedly ran in: "Your Majesty, what do you say to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"."
