After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

As Eunuch Gao called for the court to adjourn, the ministers walked out of the palace one after another.

But today is different from the past.

They gathered in groups of three or five, and their discussion was about what the prince said in the court today.

Of course, there is also the emperor’s attitude towards the prince and the Shen family today.

"Why does the emperor look so ugly today?"

"I don't know."

"I think the Emperor has been criticizing the Crown Prince today."

"Well, then, the Emperor might have had a relapse of his old illness..."

The eldest prince snorted coldly as he listened to what these civil officials said.

What old illness is flaring up?

I don’t know which concubine he is being ridiculous with.

"Let's go and see my mother."

……

"My lord, the queen has gone to bed."

"What time is it now? Are you still sleeping? What's wrong with you?"

The palace maids all lowered their heads and did not dare to look up.

The eldest prince looked at Nanny Qian.

"Madame Qian, you say."

Nanny Qian's face was pale and she spoke hesitantly.

The eldest prince frowned and said nothing.

"In that case, let the Queen Mother take a rest. I will come again tomorrow."

"Yes, take care, Your Highness."

After leaving the queen's bedroom, the eldest prince called the guards.

"You, go and investigate what happened in the Queen Mother's Palace in the past two days."

"Yes."

When the eldest prince learned the truth, he was so angry that he couldn't eat.

He hated the emperor.

When he was very young, he knew that the emperor did not love his mother.

But the Queen Mother loves the Emperor very much.

When he was young, someone bullied his mother, but the emperor could just say a few words to smooth things over.

The emperor would not even look at him normally.

So, which prince does the emperor like?

Which prince are you close to?

There really isn't one.

When he was young, he thought his father just didn't like him and always thought he was stupid.

He was sad for a while because of this incident.

After all, if the emperor likes him more, he will like the queen mother more and will want to visit her more often.

Who knew that as he grew up, he gradually realized that the emperor didn't like any of his children.

His father was tired of him, the eldest prince, jealous of the talented second prince, and always wary of the honest and obedient third prince.

Even the fourth child, who knew nothing, was ignored just because others said he was very talented.

He read a lot of books written by sages and philosophers, and when he saw the descriptions of how fathers and children get along with each other in the books, he realized that not all fathers are like the emperor.

They are even not as good as Pan Ye, who has always been by the emperor's side.

Later, he grew up.

Have your own ideas.

His mother told him every day to behave well in front of his father and to always listen to his father.

From now on, my mother's wealth and glory will depend on him.

He did the same when he was little.

and after?

Later on, it was still the same. I ate too much and was accused of being lazy and greedy.

Learn more, don't just study.

Speak more, don't be impetuous and unsteady.

He was feeling depressed and had a lively personality, so he went out more often and was called a playboy.

If he wasn't the emperor's son, who knows how bad the rumors would be.

Over time, he no longer cared about fame.

In short, his reputation is already bad enough.

He is proficient in everything from eating, drinking and having fun.

He was also worried that his mother would be sad when she found out.

Fortunately, his mother's heart is with him.

As long as he said some nice words and coaxed his mother, she would have long forgotten what she was angry about.

However, my mother also listens to the emperor.

So, sometimes he wondered if his mother would be happier if there was no emperor.

The wealth and glory that my mother talked about, she is now the queen.

What other kind of wealth can there be?

When the prince ascends the throne, she will still be the queen mother.

He must be able to keep his mother safe.

At worst, we can just bring the Queen Mother out when the time comes.

He had mentioned these words to his mother in a vague way.

The queen mother just smiled and said that as long as he was happy, she would be happy too.

He looked into his mother's eyes and knew that she must not have guessed it.

He even felt that if his mother's family had not been influential in Shangjing City, she would not have become the queen.

But fortunately she is the queen.

Otherwise, with her personality, if she was just an ordinary concubine, who knows how much torture she would have to endure.

As he grew up, this idea became more and more obvious.

He has no great ambitions and does not want enormous wealth.

Since ancient times, the victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits.

He believes that the person who does not fight is also a winner.

He didn't dare to express this idea clearly to his mother and the Xue family.

The Queen Mother is better off, the Xue family will definitely force him to attend classes.

It was even more impossible for him to reveal this idea to the emperor.

Because the Queen Mother was simple-minded and confused, the Emperor always looked down on her, and by the way, he also looked down on his son.

He felt that if the emperor knew that he had no intention of vying for the throne, his life would be even worse.

Because, in that case, he would be a useless pawn.

So, he half-seriously and half-pretentiously ate, drank and had fun, acting like a dandy prince.

Watching the fire from the other side, I wonder which brother will win.

At first, the second child was the most ambitious, but his personality...

It's really too hasty.

I would rather sell out my country for personal gain than not take that crappy position.

Although the second brother's behavior is not humane at all.

But he also admired the second brother for being a man.

He thought that he was not a good person, or rather that none of the emperor's children were purely kind.

But he would never do anything to sell out his country for personal gain.

But the second one dared.

The second son was both bad and stupid. What made him stupid was that he did not understand the emperor's thoughts and was instead driven into a corner by the emperor.

Later, he began to observe the third brother again.

The third brother has always been the least competitive among the brothers.

But he is also the most obedient one.

He not only listens to the emperor, but also to his brother.

Of course, there was nothing he wouldn't listen to.

He remembered that when they were young, the inconspicuous third brother had the best relationship with Xiang Hongxuan.

I don't know why, but the older they get, the more distant their relationship becomes.

Just when he thought that the third brother was just like him and wanted to live a good life, the third brother had already formed his own camp.

You have to know that the third brother had no support from any relatives at that time.

He admired the third brother and got to know him again.

Sure enough, none of the royal children are really stupid.

If the fourth child wasn't so young, he would probably have some abilities.

With his father pretending to be sick, his second son escaping from prison and selling out the country, and natural disasters constantly occurring in the country, he was waiting to see who would be the one to overthrow the emperor.

Unexpectedly, it was the third brother.

Today, I watched the third brother argue for Xiang Hongxuan, and then watched the emperor being humiliated on the dragon throne.

He felt very happy.

You know, the emperor is a very complicated person.

Yes, extremely complex people.

A person without humanity, simply called a human.
