Chapter 360 Extra 16
Normally, my father would have been among the best emperors in terms of his abilities and the living conditions of the people during his reign. Logically, in the distant future, my father would have left a mark in history books.
But the problem is, isn’t it just a coincidence that a small number nine appeared?
Compared to the achievement of unifying the world, the things done by my father suddenly seemed insignificant. In addition, only a few years had passed between the exchange of power between the two, and Xiaojiu was only thirty years old. He was now as bright and shining as the sun, making my father seem like a star instead of the moon.
It’s not that the stars are bad, it’s just that their brilliance is not as bright as the sunlight, so they are destined to be obscured.
My father worked hard for most of his life, but he was overtaken by others. All his previous efforts were wasted. It was really tragic...
The second prince had already thought of the scene where future generations would inevitably add the words "father of Emperor Yongxi" after their father when they mentioned him.
Even the Second Prince couldn't help but feel sympathy. Tell me, who could have thought of this?
But this is not the worst. If we talk about the worst, it has to be the father and son sitting not far away. The emperor's political achievements are at least worth mentioning, but the sixth son and his unfortunate son are only worthy of carrying shoes for the emperor and the ninth son in the history books.
Noticing the malicious look in the Second Prince's teasing, Emperor Taicheng and his unfortunate son seemed to have sensed it long ago, and they could not help but turn their heads and stare at him intently.
stare--
Emperor Taicheng dares to guarantee that if the Second Prince dares to say something rude, he will make him pay today!
He was already feeling suffocated enough being caught between his father and Xiaojiu, and the Second Prince added fuel to the fire. Even Emperor Taicheng, who had a tough temper, couldn't hold it back, not to mention that he himself was not a good-tempered person.
The little emperor on the side clenched his fists even more, but then he remembered that even his posthumous title was changed by his ninth uncle against all odds, and that group of civil and military ministers didn't take him seriously at all, and the little emperor couldn't help but feel deflated.
Damn it, I really can’t accept this!
But he also knew that even if he grew up safely, he would just be repeating his father's old path. It would be impossible for him to take over Chen State and Beiting as smoothly as the Ninth Uncle did. Thinking of this, the little emperor suddenly became open-minded. After thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be a good idea.
The young emperor was probably the one who most sincerely wished the best for Ye Shuo. Even his biological father, Emperor Jingwen, was sometimes not as good as him. After all, Emperor Jingwen was still upset about Ye Shuo's wish for the princess to succeed to the throne. However, the young emperor accepted it well. Firstly, because he was young, his acceptance level was high. Secondly, he simply felt that as long as his ninth uncle could get what he wanted, it was enough. He did not consider it so much.
Since the Ninth Prince treated him so well, he naturally had to repay him.
Finally, it was Emperor Jingwen who interrupted the Second Prince who seemed to want to continue speaking: "You are so talkative. Now watch what you have to say!"
It was obvious that the emperor in front of him didn't seem to be in a very good mood. After all, anyone who thought he had won the game and then was overtaken by others would probably not be in a good mood.
But the one who surpassed him was his beloved youngest son, what could Emperor Jingwen do? As an old father, he could only forgive him with tears.
For a moment, there was a mixture of melancholy and pride between Emperor Jingwen's brows, as well as a hint of unwillingness and dejection... All in all, it was quite complicated.
I originally thought that since Beiting had been destroyed, Xiaojiu would finally be quiet for a while. However, who would have thought that Xiaojiu was quiet, but Laoqi was causing trouble again.
Every day, there is no peace of mind! If I had known, I would not have given birth to so many children!
Emperor Jingwen clearly noticed that the Seventh Prince was hiding, but the sudden change in his gaze made Emperor Jingwen feel a headache and tiredness. As for Xiaojiu's sudden announcement before that that he would make Zou Wu the Minister of Works, Emperor Jingwen didn't even think it was a big deal.
How should I put it? Although everyone was surprised, this was also something that was expected, so the reaction of the crowd was relatively calm.
The highlight is still the "female household" and "female official" that were occasionally revealed in Xiaojiu's words, and Zou Wu is just an appetizer.
With Xiaojiu's current status and his dazzling political achievements, even if he issued such an outrageous decree, it would be successfully implemented in the end. It can only be said that he chose a very good timing, as his reputation had reached its peak. Even if someone wanted to stop him, they could not overcome Xiaojiu's iron-blooded hand.
Now we just have to wait for the right time.
Emperor Jingwen still remembered that the first thing Xiaojiu did after the demise of the State of Chen was to change Xiao Yejin's posthumous title. Looking at Xiao Yejin's bright eyes as he looked at the screen, Emperor Jingwen suspected that he had not heard clearly what Xiaojiu said at all. Now he just blindly supported all his decisions. Even if his own father wanted to stop him, it would be useless. So Emperor Jingwen didn't even expect him to speak for him at the beginning, otherwise he would be so angry to death after seeing this scene!
As for the Seventh Brother, this son of his has always been smart, not inferior to his other brothers. He suddenly changed his attitude now. It is estimated that like his other brothers, he has seen through the Nineth Brother's plan, so he feels that he has another chance, so he is secretly preparing to act when the opportunity arises.
Therefore, when the Seventh Prince heard that Prince Su and Prince Jin opposed Xiaojiu taking the three princesses to Mount Tai, he immediately came out to express his support and refuted Prince Su and Prince Jin on behalf of Xiaojiu. Emperor Jingwen and others were really not surprised at all.
Follow Xiaojiu's wishes, and then like a poisonous snake lurking in the bushes waiting for its prey, once Xiaojiu reveals a flaw, kill him immediately, right?
...Wait, does this scheme seem too familiar?
Emperor Jingwen looked at Emperor Taicheng, then at Ye Xun who was silent, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
So they were learning from each other behind the scenes, right? From the way Emperor Taicheng dealt with the Crown Prince, to Ye Xun dealing with Ye Jin, and then the way the Seventh Prince dealt with Xiao Jiu, they were all born in the same way. It can only be said that they are truly brothers/nephews.
But if you think about it carefully, if you want to be high-ranking with a low position and want to be rich with nothing, it seems that the only way is to wait patiently. These people are smart in the same way.
As for why Xiao Jiu could turn a blind eye, that was even simpler. Although the Seventh Prince had the intention of rebellion, he hadn't really started yet, hadn't he? Moreover, Xiao Jiu knew that the other party didn't have the ability to do so. By holding on to the Seventh Prince, Xiao Jiu would probably be able to clear a lot of obstacles.
It turns out that being smart is useful. If it were someone else, say the Fifth Prince, it would be strange for Xiaojiu to just ignore it. Firstly, his personality is not suitable. The Fifth Prince has always acted illogically since he was young. He is really too uncontrollable. Who knows, one day he might take a knife and fight with the three princesses to decide the winner. Secondly, his brain is not suitable. With this in mind, only the Seventh Prince can be chosen among all people.
The Seventh Prince also knew it clearly in his mind, so he did not hide it at all when facing Xiaojiu.
Seeing the two people walking on a tightrope, Emperor Jingwen was silent. So why bother? Giving birth to a prince could solve the problem, but Xiaojiu refused to do so. She had to challenge the difficulty. She just likes excitement in this life, right?
While Emperor Jingwen was in deep thought, Xiaojiu's Fengshan ceremony finally came to a successful conclusion.
Looking at the huge crowd of civil and military officials and common people, although they had seen such scenes many times, Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng still couldn't help feeling sad.
What a grand scene... Even more grand than the coronation ceremony, it is simply the ultimate dream of all emperors.
As things have developed to this point, Xiaojiu can be said to have done everything he has done before, and he has also done everything he has not done before. Just thinking about it is really exciting.
Emperor Jingwen sighed deeply.
After the Fengshan Ceremony was over, the next thing to do was to go out to sea.
When Emperor Jingwen learned about this, his first reaction was: How could a weak woman like Jianjian endure such hardship? !
However, when he saw Jianjian again, Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, who is this woman? Why is she as black as the charcoal sticks used in winter?"
After all, they had been training by the water for half a year, where the sun was scorching. As a normal person, it was normal for Jianjian to get tanned.
The skin, which was slightly darker than wheat color, was a symbol of health and strength in Jianjian's eyes, but in the eyes of Emperor Jingwen, who always believed that women with skin as white as jade were beautiful, it was simply unbearable to look at.
Weird, it's really weird.
Seeing that she accepted her current appearance very naturally, Emperor Jingwen could not accept it at all. Noticing Jianjian's carefree smile that was different from that of ordinary ladies, he felt even worse. Wasn't it that the beautiful princess he had married with the most beautiful imperial concubine in Beijing was born? How could she be ruined like this by her brother? ?
If I remember correctly, Jianjian is still unmarried, right? What on earth is Xiaojiu doing?
The prince at the side had a strange look in his eyes when he heard this. As a former prince, he had seen much more things in his youth than his other brothers. At that time, many people had tried to use beauty to seduce him into making mistakes, so the prince was still somewhat sensitive to matters of love.
The prince had noticed long ago that when the scene switched to Jianjian, there was something wrong with the men in the corner of the screen. If it was just one or two, it would be fine, and the prince would just think it was a coincidence. But if there were more, it would be hard to explain. In addition, those men were of superior appearance and figure, and they were able to get close to Jianjian. Does it need to be said clearly what they were used for?
Although my father lived much longer than me, his hobbies have always been quite normal. Perhaps it was because his hobbies were too normal that the people below him never dared to let my father know those messy things, for fear of displeasing him. In particular, except for Jianjian, my father rarely paid attention to other princesses, and the other princesses just married and had children normally. It was normal that my father could not guess what was going on for a while.
But the Second Prince seemed to be about to react. If his father was still unaware of the situation by the time the Second Prince reacted, his father would lose face.
Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but cough lightly, then lowered his voice, suppressed his embarrassment and whispered something to Emperor Jingwen.
Emperor Jingwen was stunned at first, then he opened his eyes wide, and then... Emperor Jingwen's face turned ashen.
