faint [rebirth]

Xiao Wuchen has been in poor health since he was a child, and as the empress' son, even though he is pampered and protected by Emperor Chengguang and the empress, his temperament is exceptionally sensitive and strong.

When Emperor Chengguang was alive at the beginning, Xiao Wuchen was only the prince, and his body was not as weak as after being poisoned. To be a capable prince praised by everyone, although it was a little hard on his body, he still Can encourage and support.

It's just that in the previous life, since his mother's queen passed away, he was accidentally poisoned, his stepfather passed away, and Xiao Wuchen ascended the throne when his health was getting worse, this caused most of the power to fall aside, and most of it was taken away by his uncle.

Xiao Wuchen's body was very weak at that time, and even going to court every morning was a kind of torture for him.

Therefore, although the emperor's uncle took over the power, seeing that the emperor's uncle always accompanied him by his bedside when he handled political affairs on his behalf, and would ask him about his decision from time to time when he was awake, thinking about his father's decision before he left. The things he said with a complicated expression made him believe in the words of the emperor's uncle. Although Xiao Wuchen was somewhat unwilling during the three or four years when he first ascended the throne and was ostracized, he had more than enough heart but not enough energy, so he let the emperor's uncle take over. Quan, acting as a villain on his behalf, collecting salt and iron as an official camp, implementing the decree of grace, step by step, gradually reducing or even taking back the fiefdoms of the kings, etc...

When Xiao Wuchen finished his meal, dressed in white and wearing a white fox fur, and walked slowly towards the meeting pavilion, it was hard not to think of the time when he and his uncle were so peaceful.

It's just that peace, under the aggressiveness of his aunt Shen and the emperor's younger brother, Xiao Wuchen couldn't bear the fact that he was the emperor being pushed aside by the emperor's uncle, and finally broke with the emperor's uncle step by step.

When Xiao Wuchen thought of this, he heard A Zhuang beside him remind him in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's time to call."

He was slightly startled, and then he came back to his senses, and found that he had already entered the meeting room, and all the officials were already kneeling on the ground.

"Hmm." Xiao Wuchen was a wise king in his previous life, but so what if he was wise?After he gave the emperor's uncle poisoned wine, when he was embarrassed by the Shen family and the emperor's younger brother, he did not see those courtiers who were respectful and humble to him in the past to come to rescue him.

Since it is wise and useless, since diligence is useless, then, if he is really at ease, then what's the matter?

Thinking so, Xiao Wuchen sat on a mahogany chair with thick cushions, took the red date and longan tea brought by Ah Yao, and then said slowly: "Everyone, get up now. Ah Yao, Serve tea to the emperor."

Only then did everyone get up, but they looked around in a daze, but they didn't know how to "sit".

You must know that they used to sit on their knees. When the sage or the prince came, they just knelt down, and when they shouted, they just knelt and sat on their legs. But now... look around, the original gentleman should All the utensils for kneeling were replaced with chairs that barbarians would use?

How rude?

Many older ministers were so angry that their beards flew off.

Only a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old nodded slightly to Xiao Wuchen, then naturally sat on the chair behind him, and took the tea from the waiter beside the prince.

Take a sip.

It was actually his favorite Junshan Yinzhen.

He was slightly taken aback, and then looked at the young man who was different from usual, sitting upright with one hand on his chin, tilting his head and looking at him steadily.

The young man was dressed in white, his hair was simply tied up, and only a jade hairpin was inserted to fix his long hair. His face was like a crown of jade. Although he was a man, his appearance was particularly seductive. A pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed drunk but not drunk directly met him. !

Xiao Junye used to have some indescribable thoughts about this "nephew" who was often ill, but now he met his eyes, and he was stunned, and he didn't take his eyes away for a long time.

It wasn't until Xiao Wuchen's peach blossom eyes showed confusion that Xiao Junye finally came back to his senses, his youthful and mature handsome face was still expressionless.It's just that he clearly felt that his Adam's apple rolled out of his control.

And Xiao Wuchen didn't expect that the emperor who was omnipotent in his impression of killing and killing would still avoid his gaze. Curious in his heart, he thought of the things he had done, but he couldn't look at this again. Only the eighteenth and nineteenth uncles were there, but they looked at the righteous and indignant people in the meeting room.

"The prince is absurd. How can a gentleman learn from the foolish people and use these tricks to sit on a chair? Is this beyond measure?"

"Sitting is a custom and etiquette handed down from the ancestors. How can the crown prince just abolish it? We have learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius since we were young, and practiced the style of a gentleman. If we have passed down the things passed down by the barbarians, we will always stand. Absolutely refuse to touch a star!"

"Yes, that's exactly what it should be!"

"As it should be!"

……

Many people forgot that they came here to punish the prince for being unfilial, and all of a sudden, they only cared about punishing the prince, disregarding the way of a gentleman, ignoring the law, and actually used those rude seats only used by barbarians !

All of a sudden, most of the people actually reprimanded the table that Xiao Wuchen took out.

Wei Yanghou frowned and listened, feeling slightly annoyed.However, in addition to being annoyed, he felt in his heart that maybe the decision he made back then was not at fault - the prince has acted so mischievously, and casually changed the seat of a gentleman for thousands of years, isn't it more annoying than that stupid king?

If the Shen family did not have the eighth prince, then they would follow this foolish emperor's seedling all the way to the end. But now, the Shen family has the eighth prince, the elder sister is dead, and the younger sister loves her since she was a child. To the eldest sister... Wei Yanghou thought a lot in his mind, and finally realized that fortunately, his younger sister and the Eighth Prince were still there.The guilt towards the crown prince and eldest sister in my heart was suddenly reduced a lot.

After Wei Yanghou thought so, he turned his eyes to the few officials he had secretly contacted before, obviously wanting these officials to speak up and criticize the prince's "unfilial" behavior.

However, Wei Yanghou is the prince's relative uncle, so he is a person on the prince's face, how can he show off his chariots and horses, and be an enemy of the prince?Therefore, even if it is to quietly communicate with people's eyes, it should not be too bold.

And the ending that can't be too bold is that those few people only thought that what Wei Yanghou said was reprimanding the prince for "sitting around", but they seemed to have completely forgotten that the prince has even greater "crimes" waiting for them to "rebuke" .

Wei Yanghou had no choice but to cough heavily, hiding his face and not looking at the crowd.

Xiao Wuchen quickly looked at this uncle.

His eyes gradually cooled down.

Wei Yanghou is the younger brother of the empress mother and his uncle, but he is also the one who hurt him mercilessly.

After Xiao Wuchen gave the emperor uncle "poisonous wine", although he was in poor health and could only try his best to deal with state affairs, he had always controlled the great power in his own hands.If he hadn't been inattentive for a while, and he had always trusted the emperor's younger brother who had always "worshiped" him, the aunt who raised him, and this uncle who was the most good at acting, how could he have really fallen into the final situation?

It's a pity that an uncle is an uncle after all.

Xiao Wuchen said slowly: "Uncle, you are the uncle of Gu's direct relatives. Others don't understand Gu's mind and let it go, but uncle doesn't understand? Uncle really refuses to sit on this chair?"

As soon as Xiao Wuchen opened his mouth, everyone fell silent and looked at Wei Yanghou in unison.

Although Xiao Junye had sat down long before Wei Yanghou, everyone knew that King Zhao only entered Luoyang City at the age of seven. He grew up on the border in his early years, and he was a rebellious person. He was very difficult to provoke, so they ignored him intentionally or unintentionally. Instead, he looked directly at Wei Yanghou, as if he wanted to see if Wei Yanghou wanted to disregard the way of a gentleman and the rules of his ancestors, and really wanted to listen to the prince's "nonsense".

Wei Yanghou froze all of a sudden.

In the past, Xiao Wuchen trusted him and relied on him, and never made things difficult for him. Wei Yanghou had never faced such a predicament, but now, Xiao Wuchen began to regard him as an enemy...

"It turns out that uncle doesn't understand loneliness?" Xiao Wuchen said quietly again.

He was young, dressed in white, and handsome, so when he spoke like this, others would be a little soft-hearted.

But when Wei Yanghou heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

"This this……"

When Wei Yanghou was still hesitating about how to make his choice, he heard people around him sarcastically say: "Uncle Guo is both an elder and a gentleman. At this moment, he just rejects the things passed by these barbarians and wholeheartedly persuades the prince to return to the right path. Zhengdao, if this is the case, how can you hesitate again and again, isn't it not only disregarding the way of a gentleman, but also pretending to be the elder of the prince?"

"That's right." The other person answered the conversation again, deliberately provoking, "Or is it that Uncle Guo is dissatisfied with the crown prince in his heart, but he dare not say it outright?"

Xiao Wuchen also looked at Wei Yanghou, although he said nothing, the meaning in his eyes was clear.

He forced him again!

Wei Yanghou felt a chill in his heart, and immediately sat down with a golden sword.

"Has Lord Hou ignored the style of a gentleman? It must be known that the Shen family is still a family of poetry and etiquette..."

However, Wei Yanghou interrupted the man directly, saying: "I only know that the way of a gentleman, besides sitting, the most important one is that the ruler is the ruler, the minister and the minister, father and son, and the ruler is the leader of the minister." If the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers will have to die. Since the crown prince is the heir apparent, and the Marquis is a subject, and the crown prince has not abolished the ritual of sitting down, which is contrary to the way of a gentleman, then no matter what the king wants his ministers to be, the ministers will have nothing to say!"

When Wei Yanghou said the last few words, he got up directly, knelt down in front of Xiao Wuchen, and shouted those words of loyalty.

Everyone was silent.

Xiao Wuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up with a smile, helped Wei Yanghou up, then looked at the crowd again, and said, "Everyone, sit down."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, even if there were those who were not angry, they couldn't refute at this moment——Wei Yanghou's words were too correct, the king wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die. They didn't observe the etiquette, let alone asked them to abolish the etiquette of sitting, the prince just asked them to sit on those chairs, how could they make a fuss?

They all sat down.

Then, after everyone sat down restlessly, it suddenly occurred to the prince that he still had something to reprimand, and when a bold speaker was about to speak, an eunuch came to report to the prince.

"Your Highness, the Holy Majesty has returned to the palace and is going to the Jiaofang Hall. The Holy Majesty ordered that His Highness also go to the Jiaofang Hall."

The speakers who were about to speak abruptly swallowed the words that came to their lips.
