After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

While Hu Gao and Concubine Li were talking, King Wei walked in from outside.Seeing the Prime Minister here, he greeted them and sat down next to them.

Concubine Li looked at King Wei in front of her and said:

"You haven't been to my palace for the past few days. What have you been doing recently?"

King Wei quickly said;

"Mother, what can a child do? The Spring Festival is coming soon, and my husband is on vacation. Besides wandering around in the three acres of land in my palace, what else can I do?"

Hu Gao looked at King Wei's casual look and said to him:

"King Wei, being a prince is something that many people will envy. You are in your position, and you must know how to take advantage of it. All of us are working hard for you, just to help you ascend to the throne. Let you reach the true peak of power. You have to know that it is not an easy task to be an emperor. First of all, you must be both civil and military, so that civility can stabilize the country and military force can expand the territory. Take a look What conditions do you have in yourself? You need to be strong to make iron, and you must first have such ability now."

King Wei was very unhappy after being scolded by Hu Gao, but it was difficult to refute in front of his mother and concubine.

He could only say to Hu Gao unhappily:

"Yes, the Prime Minister is right, but it's not that I haven't inherited the throne yet, I'm just an idle prince. When the Prime Minister said this, it seems like I will inherit the throne tomorrow."

Li Fei quickly glanced at her father Hu Gao, and then scolded her son:

"King Wei, why are you talking to the Prime Minister? Everything he does is just for you. Except the Prime Minister who will plan for your future, who will care about you. From now on, no matter what the Prime Minister asks you to do, you will do it. That’s right. In this world, anyone can harm you, but the Prime Minister and I will not. Do you, my child, understand?”

King Wei secretly glanced at Hu Gao and saw that he still had a gloomy face and was sulking alone.

He also felt that what he just said was a bit too much, so he said to Hu Gao cautiously:

"Prime Minister, that's not what I just said. What I mean is that I haven't yet succeeded to the throne. Isn't it unrealistic for you to ask me to expand the territory and stabilize the country? First, I don’t even have the chance to go to the battlefield, so how can I expand my territory? Second, my father has never given me the opportunity to participate in government affairs, so how can I make peace and stability for the country. Now I do nothing but study every day. , but what's the use of reading so many books. I'm not the uncle of the state, and I don't need to take the imperial examination at all. Besides, it's still not certain whether I will be the emperor or not. Don't forget, I have other things ahead of me. A prince. When you get rid of this obstacle, I will still have hope. Otherwise, I may not be able to use the books I read in this life. "

Seeing that her son was talking more and more outrageously, Concubine Li quickly stopped him and said:

"Getting rid of the prince requires a chance. You think it will be done just by opening your mouth. You know how much the prime minister has put in for you. If it weren't for the prime minister's clever arrangement, the prince's big backer would have done it so easily. will be removed. Isn't this equivalent to cutting off the prince's arm? This matter must be done step by step. Isn't there another chance now? The prime minister is here for this matter. No matter how impatient you are, If you can't eat hot tofu, you have to plan step by step. If you are not careful, it will be counterproductive, and you will lose everything, you know."

Hu Gao raised his eyes and looked at King Wei in front of him and said:

"King Wei, in your current state, you are indeed incomparable to the prince. If I were the emperor, I would give the throne to the prince, not to you. Tell me, what is one thing about you that is better than the prince? Do you have His calmness and maturity still exceed his talents. According to the order of succession to the throne, he would have inherited the throne. Don't forget that the current queen is his adoptive mother, and it is legitimate for him to inherit the throne. We are here for you now To fight for the throne is to go against the trend. You know how much effort I have put in for you. Not only do you not appreciate our efforts for you, you are still talking arrogantly. As you are, it is best for you to stay here for the rest of your life. Take your time, my lord.”

Seeing that her father was really angry, Concubine Li quickly smoothed things over and said:

"Father, his little kid can't speak, so don't talk to him. King Wei, you see the Prime Minister is angry. Why don't you come over and apologize to the Prime Minister? Hurry up."

King Wei sat there without moving. He looked at Hu Gao and said:

"The Prime Minister attaches so much importance to the throne, and I'm afraid it's not just for me. If you think I'm not up to par, you don't have to plan for me. In fact, I'm not interested in the throne of Lao Shizi either. My ideal is I will be a happy and carefree prince, traveling around, eating, drinking and having fun. I will live my whole life happily."

Hu Gao's beard was raised in anger. He knew that King Wei was not a man who wanted to do big things.

I thought that if such a person became the emperor, he would be more controllable.But facing the scene before him, his original thoughts were completely overturned.

Even he began to doubt whether everything he had done for King Wei was worth it.

He stood up, came to King Wei and said to him:

"Your Highness, let me ask you, do you really think so."

King Wei leaned back, looked up at Hu Gao in front of him and said:

"Of course that's what I think. I didn't want to be an emperor. How could I be as comfortable as a prince? I can do whatever I want, and I don't have to be afraid of taking risks. As you said, maybe even my head will be damaged. If you can’t keep it, then why bother?”

As soon as King Wei finished speaking, Hu Gao suddenly raised his face and laughed.

Concubine Li did not expect that things would turn out like this, so she hurried over and said to King Wei:

"Son, are you stupid? Others have thought of having this opportunity. The Prime Minister has been planning for you for so long. How sad he must be when you say that. What happened to you today? Why did you suddenly... Have you changed your mind?"

Before King Wei could answer, Hu Gao suddenly said to him:

"His Royal Highness King Wei, it is already too late. You are already on the bowstring now. If you want to leave my chariot, you will die. I don't care whether you want to be the emperor or not, you have to do it. Now. There is no room for you to look back, you are bound to us after all."

King Wei suddenly stood up from his chair and said:

"Prime Minister, if I don't accept the throne, what can you do to me?"

Hu Gao approached him step by step and said:

"Your Highness, I won't do anything to you, but the prince will. The day he ascends the throne will be the day our heads fall to the ground."
