The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1116

[Chapter 1116. Isn’t this just abandoning the fundamentals to pursue the inferior?]

Zhao Hao stood there, bowed first, and then said with a bitter look on his face: “Father, can you simplify this etiquette? I’m afraid I won’t be able to learn it.”

Emperor Chu looked at him with a smile on his face. , said: “This etiquette is a rule handed down from the ancestors and cannot be discarded.”

During this period, memorials were sent directly to the cabinet. He concentrated on recuperating and his complexion improved a lot.

In addition, Fang Xiu sent medicine that could suppress the poisonous poison.

The severe pain caused by the poisonous poison has been reduced from three times a day to once every three days.

His complexion has naturally improved a lot.

When he spoke, he felt more confident than before.

Zhao Hao curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: “What is passed down from the ancestors may not necessarily be good.”

In the past, he always felt that things from the ancestors must be good and correct.

But after studying in the academy for a period of time, such thoughts disappeared.

There are many things that the ancestors may not know. For example, arithmetic, biology, and physics are not known even by the ancestors. They were all figured out bit by bit by the gentlemen of the academy.

Therefore, in his eyes, such complicated etiquette is naturally unnecessary.

However, in fact, the existence of such etiquette is indeed necessary.

Zhao Hao hates this etiquette simply because he really can’t remember it.

Of course, Emperor Chu heard his whispered complaint. He pretended not to hear it, waved his hand and said, “Do you know why my father came here?”

Zhao Hao shook his head and replied, “My son. I can’t guess.”

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face, and he asked: “Is it because the father misses his son?” When

Emperor Chu heard this, he smiled, and then said: “The father is here. I really miss Hao’er, but there is still the second thing, which is etiquette. You know, this etiquette is the most important thing. If something goes wrong, someone will be held accountable, and these people must go. The seven days

in heaven are indeed a little short to apologize to the ancestors.

No matter how careful you are, something will definitely go wrong by then.

Therefore, I will discuss with you first. Do you think you should let those people go to the ancestors at that time? How about apologizing?”

When he spoke, his tone was very indifferent, as if he was talking about something trivial.

After hearing this, Zhao Hao was stunned.

Although he is a child, he can already understand some words.

For example, this is about apologizing to the ancestors.

The ancestors have been dead for I don’t know how many years. How can I apologize?

Shouldn’t we behead them and then apologize?

What my father said so much was actually to ask him, look at those people who seem to be unhappy, and let them take the blame when the time comes!

At this moment, Zhao Hao’s eyes changed when he looked at his father.

He really couldn’t imagine that his once-loved father would say such cruel words.

Just because there are some mistakes in etiquette, people will die.

That’s all, I’m still prepared in advance.

Those ceremonial officers are working hard one by one. Do they know that their fate has been determined by their beloved Majesty long ago?

Zhao Hao looked at Emperor Chu and felt that his father was so strange at this moment.

He murmured for a moment, and then said: “I feel that if I make a mistake, I should apologize to you. When the time comes, I am willing to go to the Ancestral Temple to apologize to my ancestors!”

After the words fell, Emperor Chu frowned slightly. As he stood up, his voice became a little colder.

“Hao’er, do you know your current identity?”

Zhao Hao seemed hesitant to speak, and finally did not answer.

The Emperor of Chu snorted coldly and said: “You are now the prince, the prince of my great Chu! Just after the registration was completed, you went to the Ancestral Temple to apologize. How is it? How is it?”

The emperor went to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices. It is a common thing, but making amends is different.

If the emperor made a mistake, generally speaking he would not admit it. Only when he had no choice but to make people’s hearts wander, would he admit his mistakes. Only then would he go to the Ancestral Temple to apologize to his ancestors.

If it’s more serious, it’s like committing a crime against oneself.

These matters are no small matter, and if not handled properly, you will most likely be criticized.

For a kind-hearted emperor like the Emperor of Chu, if he made a mistake, he would just casually take it away at most. He would rarely admit his mistake seriously, because in this case he would have to go to the Ancestral Temple to apologize.

Although Zhao Hao is a child, he still understands such simple truths. He is a prince, and he should have sufficient authority both in the eyes of the people and in the eyes of civil and military officials.

What’s more, he is not old now. After all, he is still only a half-year-old child. He should establish his authority. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he will not be able to control the situation with his own strength.

At that time, there will be trouble, big trouble

. But will innocent lives be harmed just to maintain one’s dignity?

Zhao Hao’s eyes flickered. After a moment, he seemed to have figured out something and finally made up his mind. He raised his eyes to look at his father and said firmly: “In the final analysis, this etiquette is nothing more than to inform the world. The purpose has been achieved. Well, it doesn’t really matter what the process is like, especially some details. I think there is no need to pay so much attention to it.

This is not a memorial sent by the state government. If you don’t pay attention, tens of thousands of people may be involved. Man, in the final analysis, this etiquette involves only Erchen.

Therefore, Erchen feels that even if something goes wrong, there is no need to apologize to the ancestors. If there is something wrong with the etiquette, you have to apologize to the ancestors. If something went wrong in the country, wouldn’t it be necessary to apologize to the ancestors?

I looked through the history books and found that there were definitely a few people who had problems. How many people apologized to the ancestors?

In the end, because of a small etiquette, it was necessary. To apologize to the ancestors, wouldn’t it mean sacrificing one’s roots and outdoing others?”

When he said this, he paused, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something else.

But when he saw his father, he became furious.

“Zhao Hao! You are not the prince now! You don’t take your ancestors seriously! If you become the prince or the emperor in the future, won’t you not take me seriously either!

I will tell you today ! You must pick out a few people for me today! Otherwise, you don’t want to do this!

Your imperial brother is still alive! I can still hold on for a while. I can hold on!”

When Emperor Chu said this, his tone was very angry, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no anger in his eyes, but some nervousness.
