"Since the governor hasn't woken up, why not go back to Dongchang to sleep? Why don't you go to court?" Shangguan Hongye couldn't help but sneered.
Sitting there like a Buddha, you will get angry just looking at him!
Cang Qiao didn't even open her eyelids. She held her forehead with one hand and played with the jade beads in her hand: "Your Highness, I have been very angry recently. Why, there is no beauty around me, is there an imbalance of yin and yang?"
"You..." These heartbreaking words made Shangguan Hongye's handsome face instantly darken.
Cang Qiao lazily tapped the little eunuch beside him who was beating his leg with his fingertips: "Little monkey, seeing that the prince is so irritable, he must be tired. Go and massage the prince's legs."
"Yes, Lord Governor." The little eunuch stood up obediently and was about to come over to serve Shangguan Hongye.
Shangguan Hongye said angrily: "No need, I am very good!"
With that said, he waved the young eunuch away without ceremony.
Cang Qiao chuckled and slowly opened his eyes: "If the yin and yang are not harmonious, the prince, just ask Concubine Ming for a medicine, she is very good at treating diseases!"
Shangguan Hongye clenched his fists, his face extremely gloomy.
This castrated dog deliberately mentioned Ming Lanruo!
Every time I talk to this castrated dog, it makes me really irritable!
At this time, a middle-aged eunuch came over and said something in Cang Qiao's ear.
Cang Qiao then stood up lazily and gracefully: "Your Highness, King Qin, please be patient. The deposed prince is seriously ill and I am very busy with the matter of making you the prince."
After saying that, he smiled, turned around and left with the middle-aged eunuch.
Shangguan Hongye looked at his back, his eyes flashed with cruelty and murderous intent.
He waved his hand impatiently and irritably at the little eunuchs serving tea in the room: "Get out, all of you, get out, you bastards who pretend to be powerful but are too powerful!"
Now that he sees these eunuchs and eunuchs, he feels sick all over!
The little eunuchs immediately and obediently withdrew.
"What's going on?" A somewhat old voice suddenly sounded.
Shangguan Hongye's tall figure froze and turned around to see Emperor Ming coming in from the door.
He immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "My son, please see your father!"
"Pingshen, what happened to you just now?" Emperor Ming waved his hands a little tiredly.
Then, he motioned to his father-in-law and his father-in-law to go out and close the door: "You all should go away. I have something to ask the King of Qin."
He and his father-in-law then closed the door respectfully and obediently, and led the eunuchs to retreat far away.
Emperor Ming came in and sat down.
Shangguan Hongye straightened up, hesitated for a while, and then said with a pinched neck: "Although I know why my father used Cang Qiao, he is too arrogant. He despises the majesty of the royal family and fakes the power of the tiger. I really can't wait to..."
No matter how upright he was, he never said the last sentence.
"What do you wish for? You wish you could kill him, eat his flesh, and gnaw on his bones?" Emperor Ming looked at him and finished the second half of the sentence.
Shangguan Hongye lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "I dare not disobey my father. How can I dare to kill people who my father has forbidden me to kill?"
"It's good that you don't dare to disobey me. I thought you were unruly and easy to get into trouble at first. Now I see that you respect your father and the emperor, and you do look like a prince." Emperor Ming said calmly.
He is the emperor, and what he gives to his son can only be taken by the son, but the son cannot reach out and ask for it, otherwise it will be unfilial!
Shangguan Hongye's face was full of respect: "Although my son is reckless, my heart is as big as the world, and my father is the biggest!"
When Emperor Ming heard this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You little monkey, you have such a sweet mouth!"
But he liked this upright son, who was unabashedly flattering, so that people could tell at a glance whether the boy was happy or unhappy, without having to be on guard at all times.
But if Ming Lanruo knew about Emperor Ming's thoughts, he would probably sneer at him——
In his previous life, Emperor Ming had already died at the hands of the "transparent" Shangguan Hongye.
Shangguan Hongye lowered his eyes and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for his father: "Father, drink tea."
He knew very well that the reason why his suspicious and jealous father kept supporting the weak prince from his mother's family was to check and deal with him.
Emperor Ming didn't like princes who were too strong. Even his own son would make him worry that his son was strong and his father was weak, which weakened his authority as the emperor.
Is the prince's respect and gentleness, or even his cowardice in front of his father, a mask?
But his rebelliousness, frankness, and ambition are all written on his face. Is it not to win the trust of his father?
This is why there are no fathers and sons in the heavenly family.
At the pinnacle of supreme power, above tens of millions of people, one is destined to be alone!
Emperor Ming took his tea and took a sip: "You are the prince, the one who will inherit my world in the future. Since you know that he is a fake and powerful man, he is just a eunuch, why should you take it to heart?"
Shangguan Hongye raised his eyebrows: "I understand the truth, but I still feel a little uncomfortable."
Emperor Ming looked at his son and chuckled: "You have such a temper that you won't hide your thoughts. As for Cang Qiao, after I transform into an immortal and ascend, and you inherit the throne, you can kill him to establish your authority."
The indifferent tone of the emperor's tone almost made Shangguan Hongye have a misconception——
He must have heard wrongly.
He looked at Emperor Ming in disbelief: "Father, what did you say..."
How could my father say those words if he values Cang Qiao so much?
Emperor Ming stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "I have raised Cangqiao so that I will not put you in the eyes of anyone except me. One person is inferior to ten thousand people, because the most ferocious eagle dog is loyal to only one person. Then
It's me.
"Only in this way can I feel free to use Cang Qiao. If he leaves me, everyone will be eager to cut him into pieces, right?"
Shangguan Hongye was stunned. Did his father deliberately raise Cang Qiao to be so powerful and arrogant to the extreme?
Emperor Ming saw the shocked light in his son's eyes with satisfaction. He put down the tea cup: "I am doting on him now to pave the way for you. After you ascend the throne, if you feel that he is not useful, just kill him to sacrifice the flag and establish the power of the king, so that everyone can
I dare not disobey you!"
"Let everyone in the world know that you are the real power. Under one person and above ten thousand people, it is all empty."
This is - the emperor's mind!
Shangguan Hongye looked at his father with confusion. He clasped his fists and bowed again: "My son has learned a lesson!"
Emperor Ming nodded: "Children can be taught. As for whether you want to imitate your father and raise eagles and dogs in the future, and leave it to your son to kill and establish authority, you can think about it yourself. The so-called emperor and courtiers are like this."
"Father..." Shangguan Hongye hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask -
"Why are you saying this to me now? You have never said it before."
Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "Were you the prince back then? There are some things that only the prince can know!"
Shangguan Hongye smiled heartily: "Thank you, father, for teaching me. My son understands and will try not to conflict with Master Qiantui again!"
On the day when he ascends the throne, Cang Qiao realizes that in his father's heart, he is just a "chicken" for him to kill chickens and scare monkeys. Who knows what kind of expression he will show?
The key is that his father raised him as a real prince, which made him feel much closer to Emperor Ming.
Emperor Ming stroked his beard and shook his head: "Okay, be careful. I like you to be upright, but I don't like you to be reckless. Showing joy and anger is not what a king should look like. Get ready, it's time to go to court."
"Yes! I will obey my father's teachings!" Shangguan Hongye immediately straightened his expression and stepped forward to wait for Emperor Ming to get up.
My father-in-law and I watched from a distance as the door of the side hall opened, and Emperor Ming and Shangguan Hongye walked hand in hand. The atmosphere between father and son became much closer.
He and his father-in-law raised their heads and glanced at the black shadow flashing across the roof - that was the spy he sent to eavesdrop.
