The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1117

[Chapter 1117 I don’t want to be the emperor!]

There seems to be a hidden meaning in this look, as if he is expecting something.

But this expectation gradually faded and turned into disappointment.

Silence, still silence, just when Emperor Chu was about to turn around and leave, a firm voice suddenly came from in front of him.

“If the father wants my son to be such a prince and such an emperor! Then I would rather not be a prince! I would rather not be an emperor!”

There were no redundant words, but the words were so sonorous and powerful.

Even after a pause, he said: “Anyway, I didn’t intend to be the emperor. This emperor is so tired and hardworking. He is stared at all day long. Even if he is not stared at, he has such a burden on his shoulders.” If you can’t eat well or sleep well, let him do it! I will never compete with him!”

These words reflect the willfulness of some children.

After all, he is just a child, and becoming emperor is indeed not his original intention.

If it weren’t for various reasons, he would prefer to be like his master. He can do things when he wants to do them, and travel around when he doesn’t want to. Isn’t it much more comfortable than being an emperor!

It’s a pity that, being born into an imperial family, he had no other choice.

Now that his father won’t let him become emperor, he still wants it!

When Emperor Chu heard this, the disappointment in his eyes receded. He looked at Zhao Hao again, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said leisurely: “Father, I really saw you right! I have my own There are not many people who are independent and able to stick to their own opinions, let alone at your age! “That’s great!”

When Emperor Chu spoke, he couldn’t help but smile. Very happy.

When Zhao Hao heard this, he did not smile. He raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Chu, cupped his hands and said: “Father, what I said is not a joke. I don’t want to be the emperor. Being the emperor is too tiring.” , being a good emperor is even more tiring.”

After a pause, he said distressedly: “However, being a bad emperor is even more tiring than being a good emperor. With your eyes open and closed, you are the poor people, and I can’t help you. Turning a blind eye, Erchen knows that many of Erchen’s brothers have been vassal kings for a while, and they should be more suitable than Erchen.”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: ” It’s not up to you whether you want to be the emperor or not. Emperor Father knows that you are still a child after all, but you are also a prince, a prince, and the prince of millions of people. You are still young now, so you don’t know this! You will know what it means when you are older.”

Zhao Hao sighed secretly when he heard this.

How could he not know what the prince meant and what the emperor meant?

It’s because he knows what being an emperor means that he doesn’t want to be an emperor!

He lowered his head, a faint look of exhaustion flashing in his eyes.

At such a young age, he actually looked a little vicissitudes of life at this moment.

When Emperor Chu saw this scene, he naturally understood what he was thinking. After sighing in his heart, he just said: “Many people are born in this world and need to take responsibility. Hao’er, you were born in the emperor’s family and enjoyed it.” The emperor’s family should have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy everything that countless people can’t ask for, so they should shoulder such responsibilities.”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he curled his lips and wanted to say: I don’t want such a worry-free food and clothing. I don’t want to take on such a responsibility.

However, after hesitating for a moment, these words were not uttered.

He just nodded and said in a low voice: “My son, I understand.”

Emperor Chu felt relieved when he saw him nodding. Then, after thinking about it, he said again: “Hao’er, this is all the matter between the Procuratorate and the Sixth Section. Have you heard about it recently?”

Zhao Hao looked up at his father, shook his head, and said, “My son has been busy with etiquette these days, and he doesn’t even have time to eat. How could he know this news? .”

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: “By the way, Father, what should I do if my son makes a mistake during the ceremony?”

Emperor Chu glanced at Zhao Hao and smiled: ” If something goes wrong, something goes wrong. Those people in the Ministry of Etiquette are all very smart. If something went wrong in the past, they would definitely keep an eye on it, but now they are too busy taking care of themselves to do these things. “

said .

At this point, he added another sentence: “Hao’er, you have to know what it means to influence the whole body, what it means to be closely related, and what it means to share weal and woe. Many things in this world are not static.

For example, this grain tax , on weekdays, if the grain tax is not collected and the court cannot maintain it, there will be problems. But if there is a disaster year and there is no reduction or exemption, then the court will also have problems. The emperor, the officials and the people will also have problems. Being in a state of balance is the golden mean, and maintaining this state of balance is the art of imperial power.” This

was the first time Zhao Hao heard these words, and he clicked with a thoughtful expression on his face. He

nodded and responded: “My son, I understand.”

Emperor Chu thought for a moment and continued: “A few days ago, because of the method of my father’s craniotomy, the official of the imperial court went to the Imperial Hospital to cause trouble, and then Where is

the Ministry of Punishment?”

Emperor Chu described a series of events that had recently happened in Kyoto and the imperial court. He did not avoid any details. How Lian Fangxiu dealt with it, what were the consequences of the Ministry of Punishment, and how Yan Guan was The search was detailed to Zhao Hao.

As Zhao Hao listened, his expression changed several times. When he heard that his master sent people to tie up the problematic officials at the door of the Yamen, he laughed even more.

“Hahahahaha, Master, well done! We should use extraordinary measures to deal with these people! These people are all benevolent, righteous and moral, but the result? What they do behind the scenes is even more filthy than anyone else!

They should be tied up. , and then put them in the sun to let everyone see what these people are.”

When Zhao Hao spoke, he was not only happy, but also a little excited.

The reason is simply that he has been scolded by these officials before.

Even though he is so young, those officials will not let him go.

As for the matter of going to the academy to study, I don’t know how many officials have mentioned it in letters, and even related it to the collapse of rituals and music. When Zhao Hao heard about this matter, he was filled with hatred. , but for a moment I didn’t know how to refute.

Now that I heard that they were treated like this by their master, I naturally felt relieved.

But——

Evidently Emperor Chu had different ideas. He looked at Zhao Hao and said: “Hao’er, by doing this, you are indeed venting your anger. From the perspective of Fang Xiu and the people, it is indeed understandable, but you Have you ever thought about the consequences of coveting this moment of enthusiasm?”
