Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

On the night of the Empress Dowager's funeral, the saint had a nightmare.Even when he woke up, his coat was soaked in cold sweat, and everything in his dream was vivid and vivid.

The saint dreamed—

On the second day of the prince's wedding, the two came to see him one after the other, and he thought the prince was embarrassed.But then, the prince and the princess slept together for only three days, and then they lived in separate houses.

The sage was in a hurry, he couldn't ask the concubine, nor the prince, and he called all the people who served the prince, but he still didn't ask anything.The sage was so anxious that his teeth burst into flames, and he couldn't eat for several days because of the pain.A little bit better, in the study room of the East Palace, the crown prince made a fuss about favoring the little servant, and then beat him to death.

……

For many days in a row, the palace was covered with dark clouds, and the courtiers were also trembling, not daring to touch the saint's bad luck.

The prince looked no different from before his wedding, he still held his head up and faced everyone proudly.The only person he can talk about is his companion, who grew up with him, and the eldest son of Rong Guogong, Jia She, Jia Enhou.

Jia Amnesty was the prince's companion since he was a child.Both of them are the favored children of heaven, and they quarreled and fought a lot when they were young. After half a year of quarreling, the sage saw that neither of them was worthy of his share, so he wanted to change the prince's reading partner, and the prince was still reluctant.Gradually, the two of them quarreled less, and they could study and practice martial arts together.

In terms of reading, the prince is slightly better than the Jia family boy; in terms of martial arts, the Jia family boy is probably a talent passed down from his ancestors, and he is more than a step stronger than the prince.

For this reason, the prince put in a lot of effort in practicing martial arts. It wasn't until he was 12 years old that he realized that the way to be a king lies in being a poor minister rather than being better than a minister in everything, so he relaxed his open and secret fight with the Jia family boy.

The prince was out of the palace to give a lecture, and the sage sat and listened. When the prince finished speaking, the sage realized that his son did not need to waste time in the study room at all.

So the sage took the prince by his side to observe the government, and taught the prince personally about the government every day, and even each of his courtiers, from the cabinet ministers of the six departments and nine ministers, to the Jinshi of the Xinke Imperial Academy.

The prince is smart, he learns quickly and remembers solidly, and he often has his own views and persistence on government affairs.Sometimes when arguing with a saint, the saint can be so angry that he can't wait to shout "pull it out and chop it up".But more often, the sage still thinks that the prince's idea is very good.It's just that the prince is young, and he hasn't realized that it's not because he has a good idea that he can do it, nor can he implement it.

When the prince got married, he changed from observing politics to listening to politics.The saint painstakingly accelerated the teaching of the prince to deal with the affairs of state.After the prince was able to supervise the government, the sage had been preparing for the Western Expedition for more than ten years, and he was fully prepared, and the sage wanted to drive himself to conquer.

The night before departure, the prince stayed in the Saint's Hall of Mental Cultivation, and refused to return to the East Palace until dark.The sage knew that the prince was reluctant to part with him, so he coaxed and persuaded the prince with red eyes to go back to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the prince got up late the next day when he sent the army to the expedition.

The saint endured the unhappiness in his heart, carefully instructed the prince, and entrusted the prince to Zhang Taifu and Rong Guogong, and then reluctantly left the capital with the army.

For three years, the sage was fighting in the northwest, and the crown prince supervised the government in the rear.There was a constant exchange of urgent letters every day. From the memorials written by the prince, the sage saw that the prince was getting more and more mature. He even sometimes thought that if he couldn't go back, the prince would be able to be the next emperor.

In the end, the Saint's Western Expedition achieved a perfect victory.

When the sage returned to the court, rewarded and distributed the meritorious ministers of the Western Expedition, and then asked about the political affairs of the court, he found that he was a little bit out of his hands.Although the prince still respects himself as his father and is still the respectful prince in front of the officials, the saint obviously feels that there seems to be something between father and son.

The harem is not peaceful either.

Before the sage went west, he released Concubine Hui's confinement.Concubine Hui entered the palace with Emperor Yuan and had two sons and a daughter.His elder brother Zhenbei Hou has been guarding the border for ten years, and he will be the vanguard of the army when he marches west.During the three-year westward expedition, Zhenbei Hou made great contributions. Before he died, he only begged the saint to restore his sister's concubine status for the sake of the prince and princess.

The saint complied with Zhenbeihou's last words.After returning to the court, Concubine Hui was immediately restored to Concubine Shu.

Zhen Guiren gave birth to a little princess after the seventh prince, and was promoted to Concubine Zhen.When the saint came back from the Western Expedition, he immediately promoted Concubine Zhen to Concubine Zhen and moved Concubine Zhen to Yongshou Palace.

It didn't take long for the sage to discover that the fourth concubine Shugui Dexian co-authored to reject Concubine Zhen.

This annoyed the saint.

The prince is also worried, he hasn't had a grandson in three years, and he is still a stranger to the princess.It really made the saint doubt his vision, whether he didn't choose the right wife for his son.But the second prince had two grandchildren in three years.

Ugh!

After the East Palace once again revealed that the prince had killed the servant, the sage took the prince to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and talked with his son earnestly.He talked about the deep affection between himself and the Empress Yuan, and said that he was the son of a legitimate son, and he used other people in the harem as decorations.After talking to the prince about his expectations for his grandson, he asked the prince if there was something wrong with the Shi family. If the prince really doesn't like the Shi family, he should depose the Shi family and replace him with the prince concubine...

It's okay, it's okay, the prince puts himself, his father, in his heart.Within half a year, Shi's news came out.

The power of the Confucian family has risen unprecedentedly. The saint sometimes feels inexplicably terrified when he sees so many people surnamed Kong.When did the foreign relatives occupy such a heavy weight in the court of the Tu family?Doesn't the prince know that using relatives is a double-edged sword?Before the sage could clear things up about the Kong family, the crown prince and the good old Prince Fu confronted each other.

The reason for the confrontation is for Prince Ning.

It can't be said that the prince is wrong, but why can't the prince see that behind Prince Fu's defense of Prince Ning, he is protecting the future interests of his own sons?

The sage began to be disappointed when he saw how Prince Hefu was facing the wheat awning.If you treat your uncle like this, what will you do to your brothers in the future?

Not long after the dispute between the prince and Prince Fu, the second prince was whipped in front of the East Palace.

Concubine Shu hugged a son and a daughter, crying like tears, and begged on her knees: "Sage, what mistake did the second prince make again, offending the majesty of His Royal Highness, and he is also the brother of the prince. Saint, do you respect Prince Fu, Ning Prince, you are very friendly."

The sage asked the prince why he wanted to flog the second prince, but the prince stiffened his neck and refused to answer.

Saint was deeply disappointed.

Such a good son of mine, who taught him for more than [-] years, how did he become like this now?

Later, it broke out one after another that the prince whipped the servant to death.

The sage couldn't tolerate the prince's continued misconduct like this. He didn't feel sorry for his pregnant wife, fooled around with the servant, and whipped the servant to death.After further investigation, it turns out that Donggong actually raises molesters.Mi Jiugeng reported that the Confucian family had sold officials and nobles, accepted bribes from salt merchants, and wooed all officials for the crown prince.

In a rage, the sage first imprisoned the prince, arrested and exiled the prince's subjects in the east palace, but he still could not find any evidence of the prince's rebellion.

Zhang Taifu used suicide to take the blame for not teaching the prince well. The prince who was imprisoned knew the news, and the prince also committed suicide.

During the funeral of the prince, the princess's newborn daughter died, and the princess committed suicide by throwing herself into a basket.

Not long after, Jia Daishan also went.

The saint's heart throbbed with pain.

Then there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River the next year, and the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River hoarded their food. They would rather rot the food than take it out to help the victims.

One after another, things snowballed like snowballs, and the political situation became unstable. The prince who grew up gradually began to fight for the position of the prince.The more fierce they become, the more they frame each other, and various methods emerge in endlessly...

The concubine is also involved in this battle.

In 20 years, three of his seven princes died, and three of them became feuds.

After the flood, the plague, the drought in the south, the snowstorm in Gyeonggi, the court couldn't make ends meet... The fight between the princes became more and more like robbers fighting with open flames, and everyone in the Yanzheng stretched out a hand.

After careful consideration, the throne can only be given to the fourth prince, otherwise the three sons who are feuding with each other will not allow the other two brothers to live if they ascend the throne.

Zen position.The sage repaired the Compassionate Ning Palace and moved it there.

The last ten years have been so depressing, the sage often regrets that he did not die 20 years earlier.He was paralyzed on the bed, looking at the fourth prince who had no father-son relationship with him, he refused to even maintain a false filial piety in front of him.His heart is full of remorse, if he died early, or if he was a Zen and crown prince, wouldn't he have to live in such an aggrieved situation?

The saint woke up to the sound of the chiming bell, and it took him a while to realize that he was dreaming just now, and he was not lying on the dragon bed in the Palace of Grace to die.

The Zen position and the prince?The sage circled these words over and over in his mind—it wasn't until he saw his grandson Tugen that he realized that the crown prince and concubine were not strangers like in his dream, but a husband and wife with deep love and friendship. And got pregnant with a third.

For many days, the sage had been thinking about this dream repeatedly, and finally he found out the difference between reality and the dream, that is, the prince kicked out the privacy of his favored "insider" in the East Palace...

The subsequent development is completely different from the dream.

Seeing that the prince has excellent ability and is kind to others, he has accumulated enough food in a few years to deal with possible droughts, floods and snow disasters in the next few years.

If I really can live for more than twenty years, with the ability of the prince, it is unnecessary to ask myself about everything.

Then the seat of Zen and the crown prince are gone. For the rest of the time, teach the grandson well, so that the grandson is better than the prince...
