Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Xiaobao resumed going to the study every day to study, and in his spare time, he went to Qianqing Palace to accompany Emperor Hongjing.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another winter is coming.

At this moment, Emperor Hongjing suddenly made a decision. He planned to give the throne to King Jin.

Chapter 201

The news came out and shocked many people.

There is no other reason, because in all dynasties it was rare for the emperor to give the throne to his son while he was still alive.

To put it bluntly, any emperor must die on the throne before he is willing to pass on the throne. In particular, Emperor Hongjing's behavior in his later years was clearly autocratic and unwilling to delegate power.

But whether Emperor Hongjing really wanted to take the Zen throne or was just pretending, once such a thing happened, he would have to be persuaded as a minister. Those who can enter the palace to meet the saints should all go to the palace to meet the saints to persuade them. Those who were unable to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit were also persuaded by exhortations.

For a time, everyone in the court was busy with this matter.

Not only the ministers should persuade, but also those who were offered the Zen position should be persuaded and rejected, and the intensity should be strong. If you fail once, you will not achieve success twice, and if you fail twice, you will not achieve success three times. You must also behave with righteousness and awe-inspiring. You are really unworthy of the big responsibility, and you are afraid that there will be someone who will betray the country and the country. appearance.

The King of Jin had already entered the palace several times and refused. In order to avoid suspicion, he even put down the supervision of the country and stayed in the palace behind closed doors, neither going out nor seeing anyone.

Yao Niang has been watching with a cold eye, wondering what the show has been going on in the past few days. It’s really weird to be an father, it’s weird to be a son, and those ministers are even weirder.

On this day, she couldn't bear it anymore and asked King Jin.

After hearing Yao Niang's inquiry, King Jin looked strange. Later, I saw that she was really thirsty for knowledge, so I told her the meaning of the word "persuade" and the story behind it.

It turns out that throughout the dynasties, new emperors often had to make several offers of approval before ascending the throne. Only after repeated persuasion by ministers did they reluctantly agree to ascend the throne. If some emperors usurp the throne or are not upright, they will even order their close ministers to join the court officials in persuading him to enter the court, pretending to be conciliatory, and do this several times before he ascends the throne.

It just takes the meaning of being logical, following the times, and following the customs.

It shows humility, honesty and calm demeanor.

After listening, Yao Niang looked strange. Isn't this hypocritical? He was obviously thinking about it, but he pretended not to care.

King Jin knew that she was wrong again, so he told her about the accession of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty to the throne in the history books.

In fact, it is not so much a kind of hypocrisy as it is a way of testing, showing weakness, and expressing one's own attitude. Just like the current situation of King Jin, Emperor Hongjing said that he wanted to meditate, but no one knew what Emperor Hongjing was thinking. After all, the emperor's mind was unfathomable. If he was just testing, his original intention was not that he was really willing to meditate. position, and if the King of Jin does not understand the interests, it is not a big taboo.

Yao Niang couldn't regain her composure for a long time. She couldn't help but glance at King Jin and then said: "Father and son are the most intimate relationship in the world. I didn't expect it to be so complicated."

King Jin was silent for a moment and then said: "There are no fathers and sons in the Tian family, that's all."

She leaned forward and said, "Then what do you plan to do if my father truly wants to become the emperor? By then, wouldn't you be the emperor?" She couldn't help but shake her head: "If you become the emperor, Why do I feel weird?"

"What's wrong?"

Yao Niang stepped back and looked at him seriously for several times: "In short, it just feels weird."

Prince Jin laughed and pulled her over: "Don't think too much, just let nature take its course."

Having said that, Yao Niang still thought about it for a while, but she couldn't think of a reason. Finally, she said something from her mouth, "If you really become the emperor, one day you and Xiaobao and Erbao will end up like the father." , I will definitely die of sadness.”

Prince Jin's hand caressing her back paused in the air for a moment before covering it again: "I told you not to think too much."

At this time, there was movement outside the door, but it was Xiaobao who walked in.

Xiao Baolao came to the main room too often, and he frequently visited the girl below without informing her. As soon as she saw her son walking in, Yao Niang hurriedly sat up from Prince Jin's arms and said, "I'm back, why is it so early today?" She deliberately looked out the window at the sky, Xiaobao didn't go to school so early.

"There is a kung fu class in the afternoon, so my son went back early."

Now Xiaobao has entered the upper study room and studies with his brothers who are older than him. Emperor Hongjing attached great importance to the cultivation of princes and grandsons, not only providing cultural classes, but also martial arts classes. However, Xiaobao is still young and cannot go to school for the time being. He will not be exposed to those things until he is five years old.

Yao Niang was shallow-minded and didn't think too much about things like her son eavesdropping. But when King Jin saw Xiaobao's strange expression, he couldn't help but think more about whether he had heard something. But he wasn't sure, the thought just flashed through his mind.

"Father, the imperial grandfather has summoned you to the palace."

King Jin glanced at him.

Xiaobao added: "Before my son returned home, he went to Qianqing Palace. It was Grandpa Huang who said so."

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Xiaobao shook his head.

King Jin stood up and said to Yao Niang: "Then I will come to the palace, you are at home."

"You come back early, we will wait for you to have dinner."

King Jin didn't say much, just nodded and left.

It was cold now. Xiaobao came back from outside and wore thick clothes. After warming up in the house for a while, he asked someone to help him take off the thick clothes outside.

After taking off a large black fox fur-lined coat, he became lighter. He also took off the fur-lined boots on his feet and replaced them with a pair he wore at home.

When Yao Niang took his clothes, she found that a cloth button on it was loose, so she took out the needle and thread basket from under the kang table and started threading the needle.

She was very serious about it. This kind of cloth button embedded on the outside is the most difficult to thread. It must be threaded from the inside to the outside so that it will not be obvious from the outside. After Xiao Bao changed his clothes, he came to Yao Niang's legs and stood by her legs to watch her. Yao Niang thought he was bored, so she told him that Er Bao was in the east wing.

Xiao Bao still stood still: "I will go to see him later."

Yao Niang smiled at Xiao Bao, stretched out her hand to hold him in her arms, and asked softly: "What's wrong? Now that you have grown up, you don't tell your mother about your worries."

In fact, Yao Niang said this in her heart countless times. As Xiao Bao grew up, he had more and more playmates and met more and more people when he went out, and gradually became estranged from his mother.

This is an inevitable situation. When Xiaobao first went to the study room to study, Yao Niang was very uncomfortable for a while. As she thought about it, she felt a sense of loss. Fortunately, Erbao was a noisy person, so this feeling only appeared occasionally and did not spread.

"My son has no worries."

This intimate gesture made Xiaobao blush, but he did not struggle. He let his mother hold him in his arms and watched her sew clothes one stitch at a time. When he was young, he always watched like this. Now that there are fewer opportunities, he is particularly greedy.

In fact, it is better to say that he likes this atmosphere rather than watching his mother sew clothes for him. Thinking of what his mother and father said just now, Xiaobao secretly swore in his heart that he would never let this happen in the future, nor would he make his mother sad.

It's just that he has experienced a lot of things during this period. He witnessed the tragedy of a succession and the treacherous and treacherous relationship between the father, son and brothers of the emperor's family. Xiaobao is now a little confused and not very confident. After all, this life is so different from the last one. In this life, his parents and Erbao are all well. It is conceivable that he will have many brothers and sisters in the future. People's hearts are unpredictable, and who dares to say what the future will be like.

When facing the earth-shaking changes in fate, it is not only Yao Niang who feels uneasy and complicated, even Xiaobao, who has lived two lives, is not immune.

"Okay, okay, mother will be ready soon. I will take you to see Huahua later. You don't know that the kittens born by Huahua are different every day. Didn't you say you would give Yueyue one? Let's go pick them together later."

"Yes." Xiaobao nodded.

Then the mother and son asked the maid to bring the cloak, and then they went to the west wing together.

A room was specially set up for Huahua in the west wing. There was a floor heating in the room. As soon as you walked in, you felt warm and cozy. People couldn't help but sigh that they followed a good master and the cats were treated better than people.

There was a cat bed against the corner of the room. Huahua was lying there, and there were a few little things hidden under its belly. At first glance, it is not obvious, but if you look closely, you can see that they are a few kittens.

Erbao is also there, squatting in front of the cat bed. This kid has always been impatient, but when facing Huahua, he can control his temper.

He squatted there, his little hands moved bit by bit, muttering something, as if counting something.

When he got closer, Erbao was indeed counting the kittens.

"Have you counted them clearly?"

"There are four in total, do you think I counted correctly, mother?" Erbao turned around and saw Xiaobao, and said excitedly: "Brother, you are back!"

Xiaobao nodded, walked forward and squatted with Erbao, muttering something in his mouth: "It is indeed four."

"Yes, yes, it is four, I counted several times. Brother, you came back really early today, why did you come back so early, I thought it would take a long time for you to come back."

Erbao's childish words, but the "long time" has revealed his thoughts.

There are not many children in the Jin Palace. Xiaobao goes to the study room every day, and Yan Ge'er rarely comes to study, so there is almost no one to play with him on weekdays. He can find some fun on his own, and there are little eunuchs to play with him, but what he misses most is "big brother is back."

"Big brother got out of school early today, so he came back early."

When Erbao heard about going to school, his face was full of envy: "When Erbao grows up, he will go to school in the palace with big brother."

"Erbao wants to go, big brother will take you there tomorrow."
