Chapter 302: The second prince is angry
Chapter 302 The second prince is angry
Actually, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling didn't have any opinions at all, and they felt that they should be taken for granted. Without the backing of their father, it would not be so easy for them to win the trust of others, and it would be difficult for them to even gain a foothold, let alone do other things.
The emperor was fascinated by what he heard, he was happy and admired, but also a little guilty
As expected of the courtier he valued, even though he was exiled, he did not drift with the tide, let alone give up decadently, but still worked hard to shine and contribute to Daqin.
Isn’t this loyalty to the emperor? If he was not loyal to him, the emperor, and if he harbored resentment towards him, how could he fight so hard?
This kind of open-mindedness, character and talent cannot but be admired!
Thinking about what Zhao Aiqing did, and then thinking about what he did, the emperor felt even more guilty.
Because of this, seeing the second prince being so angry at Zhao Xiang face to face, the emperor felt a little bit offended and couldn't help but say a few words.
The second prince asked him to say these two words to add a layer of anger. It was not the first time he did this in front of his father. His father would never say anything about him, but this time, his father defended Zhao Xiang and scolded him. he.
very good!
"Father, what did my son do wrong? Can't my son ask! It is obvious that Mr. Zhao is too cunning and treacherous!"
The emperor was displeased: "Mo'er!"
Zhao Xiang looked stunned: "Your Highness, where did you start with this! Your Majesty, I am not talented, so I want to ask Your Highness to clarify my words. Otherwise, wouldn't I be carrying such a reputation!"
The emperor sighed softly, "Mo'er, speak up, don't you listen to what I say?"
The second prince, who had always enjoyed the unique privilege in front of his father, couldn't stand his father helping others to preach to him. He was not only angry, but also wronged, and there was a bit of inexplicable jealousy in his grievance.
"Father! Didn't my son speak well? Isn't this what my son is like in the past? Why is the father preaching to my son again and again today alone! My son has an upright temper and always speaks in front of his father. What to say, there are not so many twists and turns in my stomach, and I don’t know how to put on airs. I deserve to be run over by those who have a heart! Let me just say, the most hateful people in the world are those scholars. They are very sinister and despicable. , My stomach is full of bad water! Father, you can't tell him to provoke our relationship between father and son!"
Before the second prince could finish speaking, the emperor changed his face and shouted: "Shut up!"
The second prince was so angry that his face turned red and then pale: "Father!"
The emperor did not follow him this time, and scolded with a downcast face: "I know that you have always been outspoken, but you can't be so open-minded and lawless. You should change your temper! Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhao!"
The emperor loves this son 100% from the bottom of his heart, and has always wanted him to inherit the country. He has a bold and cheerful personality, and he has a healthy body. He is much better than the only prince.
But he can't curse the scholars all over the world like that. If this word spreads, it will be a big deal. What will those civil servants think in their hearts?
This kid needs to pay more attention.
The emperor made up his mind to talk about him in private.
The second prince didn't understand his father's painstaking efforts, he only knew that he was scolded, and his father wanted him to apologize to Zhao Xiang!
Apologize? What the **** is this? Had he grown up to do such a thing? Father is confused, right?
Just been deceived by Zhao Xiang, but in the end he was reprimanded by his father and ordered by his father to apologize to Zhao Xiang! Is he shameless? How could he bear this breath?
The second prince was very angry and aggrieved, and shouted loudly: "I am not wrong! I will never apologize! Father, you must have been bewitched by Zhao Xiang! This Zhao Xiang has only been back for a few days and has such a skill to coax father. Turning around, I think he must have learned some shady tricks in Lingnan! I think he should be sent to Dali Temple for a proper trial!"
"Shut up!" The emperor was furious, and scolded with a cold face: "You kneel down!"
"Father!"
"Kneel down!"
The second prince was taken aback. He had never seen his father get angry at him so much. Now he came back to his senses and realized that he seemed to have said something wrong to anger his father.
"Father, son-in-law, son-in-law care about father, and do good for father!"
"Apologize to Mr. Zhao."
The emperor still loves this son dearly, once he softened, he also softened his attitude. You can stop kneeling, but you must apologize.
This child really spoiled himself, the emperor suddenly realized this, and his good mood was greatly reduced. This is not going to work, it seems that in the future it has to be polished and polished, and many problems should be brought to his attention and corrected.
Otherwise, with his temperament, how can he dominate the world and become a qualified monarch?
Through many thoughts, the emperor was even more grateful to Zhao Xiang. If it wasn't for what happened to Zhao Aiqing today, he wouldn't have realized it.
After all, other people don't have Zhao Aiqing's strength of character, and they will never do anything that would offend their father and son. Only Zhao Aiqing is neither humble nor overbearing.
Seeing his father's tense face, he made it clear that he would no longer give in to himself. No matter how aggrieved the second prince felt in his heart, he didn't dare to use it anymore.
The father is the father after all, no matter how favored he is, he dare not be too presumptuous.
After all, he is not yet the crown prince.
If he is the prince now, he can naturally be stubborn to the end, and the prince is not so easy to dethrone.
The second prince had no choice but to bow his hands at Zhao Xiang casually with a cold face, and said stiffly: "This king made a slip of the tongue, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao!"
"Don't dare to dare," Zhao Xiang bowed his hands to return the gift, calm and calm: "Knowing mistakes can make things better. Your Highness apologized, and I accepted it. Your Highness's words and deeds represent the dignity of the royal family and the face of the emperor." , This straightforward temperament still needs to be changed. Your Highness's words, I don't care about it, but it's hard to guarantee what others will think if it spreads."
"Faithful words are harsh to the ear, I have seen it and I have to say it, please don't blame me. Your Majesty," Zhao Xiang bowed to the emperor again: "I also ask the emperor to forgive me, I have talked too much."
The second prince glared at him so hard that his face was going black.
The emperor saw it, and sighed secretly, this son really needs to beat him. It's good to have a sincere heart, but you can't be too arbitrary, it won't do him any good.
The emperor laughed loudly, "Zhao Aiqing's words are justified, but my heart is so weak, why is there anything wrong? Zhao Aiqing should do the same in the future, and don't have to worry about what to say."
Zhao Xiang expressed gratitude: "Yes, Your Majesty! This humble minister will definitely live up to the Emperor's reward."
