When Song Chen entered the palace, Song Hao was already awake.
All the imperial doctors withdrew, and he was the only one lying on the bed, with a calm expression on his face and sunken eye sockets, without any luster, as if he had seen through everything.
"Brother Emperor." He stepped forward and saluted. Thinking about the little prince, he hesitated to speak. He was the one who watched the birth of that child. He had seen him every time he entered the palace before. Today, he was the one who rescued the child. He also
He called Uncle Wang. At that time, he didn't expect that the child would turn out to be like this. It was all Song Ying's fault. Even a three-year-old child could be so ruthless and cut her into pieces without appreciating his hatred.
Song Hao obviously didn't want to mention it: "What's going on outside the palace?"
Song Chen said seriously: "Everything is under control."
In one short sentence, the bloody chaos outside was summed up.
"It's so quiet." Song Hao half-closed his eyes, making it difficult to see the expression in his eyes.
"It's thanks to Ah Chen's ability that he didn't make any noise in the palace. It's all thanks to you that I can find such peace and tranquility."
"Literature has the ability to govern the world, military strength has the ability to found a country, and his talents and strategies are worthy of being the leader of the country."
Song Chen's face turned stern, and he immediately knelt down: "The emperor has praised me too much, but I will never have second thoughts."
Of course, there is no second intention. If Song Chen had the intention, how could it be his turn to be the emperor back then?
They are brothers, brothers from the same mother.
In order to protect him, Song Chen was willing to be demoted to the frontier and fought bloody battles all the way back to support him on the throne.
In terms of martial arts, Song Chen was a prince who relied on strength to gain military power. Although he did not have many soldiers, they were all elite soldiers and had a high prestige in the army.
According to the thesis, he spent five years in low profile and dormant, treating virtuous officials with courtesy, being able to govern the country, and being skillful in governing people.
Comparing the two, he is obviously an ordinary emperor, and he only sits on the throne because he supports him.
Song Chen handled civil and political affairs with ease. In military defense, the palace was impregnable, and the army enforced orders and prohibitions vigorously and resolutely.
If Song Chen hadn't firmly supported him, how many people would have listened to his orders.
Even though Song Chen respected his brother, he didn't have enough prestige. What's the difference between Song Chen's loyalty and charity?
While he knew that Song Chen supported his loyalty, he also had to see the reality clearly.
Originally he was still under restraint and could maintain peace, but today's incident with the little prince caused too much stimulation, and the tide of resentment overwhelmed his reason.
Negative emotions are infinitely amplified, and the words spoken are also filled with resentment.
After saying that, the resentment seemed to disappear.
Looking at Song Chen, who was still kneeling there, he couldn't help but feel guilty: "I'm a bit rude about what I say, get up."
Song Chen didn't take it to heart: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself."
The emperor was upset about the little prince, and he couldn't think clearly for a moment. Song Chen would naturally not care about him. If the two brothers couldn't tolerate this, they wouldn't be where they are today.
As for how far we can go in the future, that is a matter for the future.
Song Hao didn't want to think about the little prince, nor did he want to mention it.
"Aren't you going to ask me to punish you?"
Song Chen was stunned by these words and looked at Song Hao. He was stunned for a while before he realized that what he was talking about should be about Qin Wanwan.
Knowing that she was the one he liked and was Qin Yan's most distressed sister, he still forced her to get into a sedan chair and go to the eldest princess's mansion to take risks.
Needless to say, he knew it himself.
Song Chen thought for a while, he should have been angry, but he sobered up.
"It was my late preparation that allowed Song Ying to cause trouble in the palace. Your Highness is still in their hands. Your Majesty did nothing wrong."
People's hearts are biased, and there are always choices to be made in the face of the overall situation. It makes sense to stand on the side of truth.
After all, the little prince is in Song Ying's hands, and as a father, he has to do what he wants.
He has some blame, but Song Chen is his brother and Song Rui is his nephew. He is not qualified to stand on the opposite side and blame Song Hao, so all he can do is to protect Qin Wanwan with all his strength.
Do your own thing without any resentment or blame.
"But I think so because you are my elder brother. I'm afraid Qin Yan will be angry if he finds out. I'll leave this issue to the emperor to worry about."
Song Hao had a headache when he thought about Qin Yan, who never talked about his sister and who was brainless when it came to his sister.
Qin Yan was not merciless when he beat Zhang's father and son. He couldn't be bold enough to beat the emperor, right? He felt that Qin Yan didn't dare.
"You are very generous, but they blame me, how can you feel better?"
Originally, the Qin family brothers and sisters were unwilling to join the Tian family, but now they have offended them. It will be even harder for Song Chen to pursue this girl.
Song Chen: "." Regardless of this, we are still brothers.
——
Although Song Chen wanted to go to the Qin family to apologize, he was too busy.
He left the political affairs to Qin Hao, and he was responsible for the affairs of the Army and Horse Department, arresting people, killing people, imprisoning, confiscating their homes, exiled, coming and going, without any time to rest.
However, this time we were well prepared and organized, and it was much easier than when we first seized power.
Song Hao was heartbroken and vomited blood because of the little prince's affairs. His body was weak and he didn't want to deal with government affairs.
Now it was Song Chen's turn not to let him go: "Who do you care about your country?"
If you want to be lazy, there is no way!
Song Hao: "."
Suddenly he felt very, very regretful. What was he complaining about? What was he dissatisfied with?
Why did you say those words, why were you jealous and suspicious of Song Chen?
Now it's better, people just ignore it.
This time, so many people died and many positions were vacated. He could take the opportunity to consolidate his power and replace everyone in the court with his loyal ministers.
But that mountain of foldables is really difficult to deal with.
In the past, he would handle at least half of it for Song Chen, but now he handles it all by himself.
After coughing weakly, he seemed to have seen the day when he would be exhausted to death.
All in all, I regret it very much.
And this regret reached its peak when I couldn't finish reading the memorial all night and almost fainted.
Zhang Yong said a few words to the little eunuch at the door, turned around and walked in, kneeling on his knees: "Your Majesty, the little prince is dead."
"Snapped!"
The pen in Song Hao's hand fell off, leaving two lines of clear tears in his tired and red eyes.
Everyone in the hall knelt on the ground. Zhang Yong said: "Your Majesty, my condolences."
Song Hao closed his eyes, unable to hide his sadness: "It's okay to die."
The majestic eldest son is no longer a manly son. He will suffer in this life while he is alive, but he will be clean after death.
"Get ready for burial."
Children who died young cannot be held funerals, and many are buried hastily and a small grave is erected.
Song Hao sat for a long time, got up and wanted to take a last look, but just as he stepped out of the door, he vomited blood and fainted.
"emperor."
Song Chen was called into the palace to preside over it again. He didn't sleep for two days and two nights. One thing happened after another and his body was exhausted, but now he couldn't collapse.
The emperor has fallen. If he falls with him, the court will be doomed.
The death of the only young prince caused quite a stir. Then the emperor fell seriously ill and the regent supervised the country.
This time it's not just a purge, it's going to change.
