This lunch, Queen Tao ate it so much that she couldn't tell the taste.

But Xiao Chengwen ate with relish and was 70% full.

Emperor Yongtai is here to relax and eat it is satisfying.

After lunch, Emperor Yongtai returned to Xingqing Palace to rest, and there were still a few baskets of memorials waiting for him to review.

Empress Tao asked Xiao Chengwen sternly, "A rare opportunity, your father asked you to go to the court to experience it, why did you refuse?"

Xiao Chengwen rinsed his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "Can't my mother see that my father didn't really want me to join the court. He just said casually. If I don't know the tact, my father would definitely be angry."

Queen Tao didn't think so, "As long as you say something, you are in good health and want to share the worries of the court, even if your father talks casually at the beginning, he will eventually arrange an errand for you. As for whether your father is happy, it doesn't matter. Your third brother goes out of Beijing to provide disaster relief, at this time you should enter the court and watch for your third brother for this palace."

Xiao Chengwen smiled contemptuously, "My mother needs someone to watch the movements in the court, and can be entrusted to her uncle or someone else. I am just a sick person. She has either a headache or a fever all day long. Even if I have an errand, I can't go to court every day to share my mother's worries. I have a self-knowledge, so I won't occupy the position and make people angry."

"You, you really want to piss off me! You say that you are not motivated, your thoughts are one after another, and you are more active than anyone else when something happens. You say that you are motivated, but you give up the opportunity in front of you. Tell me, what are you thinking?"

Xiao Chengwen said seriously: "The son just wants to share the worries for his mother and queen and give advice for his mother and queen. He never thought of sharing the worries for his father and the court."

Queen Tao knew that he was talking nonsense, but she couldn't get into an attack.

This is too pleasant and pleasant.

As the saying goes, you don’t hit people with smiles.

Queen Tao sighed in depression, "Forget it! You have a right idea. You can't hear me if I say anything. I can't control you."

"The queen mother said angry words again, and it was meaningless."

Xiao Chengwen mentioned a little and no matter how important it is.

Queen Tao became more and more depressed and said angrily: "I am in front of you, can't I even say a word of complaint?"

Xiao Chengwen had a expressionless face, "It's meaningless to say something meaningful."

"What's meaningful, you say, I listen."

Xiao Chengwen put down the teacup and said seriously: "Have the third brother left Beijing to provide disaster relief, has the mother arranged it?"

"That's of course! With Chengyang's help, everything goes well. For safety issues, I personally sent reliable people to guard your third brother, as well as the imperial physician and medicinal materials."

"My mother never thought that the aristocratic family might make trouble?"

"Of course I thought of this and specifically ordered your uncle to send someone to stare at the major families. No matter who dares to make things difficult for your brother, I will definitely not be able to spare him."

Xiao Chengwen laughed when he heard this, "My mother has made great thoughtful plans for the third brother. She only missed her father."

Queen Tao frowned.

Xiao Chengwen continued: "The father said the 'thousand miles of horse', which attracted all kinds of suspicion in the court. The mother might as well guess whether the father regretted it? Or, after the third brother successfully provided disaster relief and returned to the capital, how should the father reward him? Will the father be given the stingy and stingy temper of his father? "

Queen Tao was speechless, frowned, and looked gloomy.

"You mean, is your father likely to kill a donkey? Repent?"

"The Queen Mother will not forget the end of the Tao family!"

Queen Tao gritted her teeth.

The experience of the Tao family was an eternal pain in her heart, but it was unsuccessful.

It's so angry!

She gritted her teeth and said uncertainly: "Then you are the third brother, the son of your father's father's relative."

Xiao Chengwen said calmly, "For the sake of imperial power, both wives and children can be killed!"

The words are very light, but they make people feel cold all over, as if a murderous intent is coming to their faces.

Queen Tao couldn't help but shivered.

She stared at Xiao Chengwen and suddenly said, "Your temper is like your father."

No conscience!

Xiao Chengwen did not comment.

He didn't care about what others think about himself. He was one of the few princes who lived extremely selfishly.

The sick seedling is his best protective cover.

No matter how willful or self-centered he is, the three words "sick" are the best excuses and reasons.

Queen Tao vented a few complaints, turned her head and asked him again: "If your father refuses to admit his account, what should I do? Do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Chengwen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "My mother and aunt Chengyang hope to take advantage of the opportunity of disaster relief to implement the title of the third brother's crown prince. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take out a lot of food to pave the way for the third brother. However, did the mother ever think that perhaps this was the purpose of the father.

The Shaofu and the Ministry of Revenue had no food, and the aristocratic family had food but refused to take it out. The father and emperor knew all this clearly. What should we do? Take out a bait and hung it in front. So, the mother and the aunt Chengyang immediately took the bait and offered the food.

With the financial resources of the aunt Chengyang, it is still possible to save all the victims, not to mention saving 30 or 40% of the victims. The price of all this is nothing more than a sentence and a bait. The queen mother and father are the most calculating people in the world, and are used to using the smallest price to achieve the greatest goal.

Was it because the Tao family helped his father kill the princes and kings that he threw out enough bait to lure the Tao family into being the front pawn. Afterwards, he unloaded the donkey again! The lessons of the past are not far away, how could the mother be deceived again? It shouldn't be!"

Empress Tao was furious when she heard this, "You shouldn't blame me now, but what were you doing at the beginning? You hid in the mansion, didn't go out, and didn't say anything. Are you very proud now when you are doing a hindsight?"

"Did my mother send someone to ask me during that time? My third brother is going to go out to Beijing to provide disaster relief, and my mother has asked me for my opinion? You can't stand the temptation. A mere word "Thousand Miles Horse" will make you lose your mind, give up most of your wealth, and share your worries for your father. Haha, unfortunately, my father only thinks you are a group of greedy people, with only disgust and no gratitude in his heart. There is no plan to reward merit later."

Xiao Chengwen sarcastically and stunted Queen Tao, making her face look gone.

Queen Tao was furious, but she did not have an attack.

She looked gloomy and asked, "All this is really the bait released by your father?"

Xiao Chengwen sighed, "My mother thinks carefully, what did the father induce the Tao family to kill the princes? Then compare this time, how did the father do it in order to let the Tao family ask the Tao family to send food to the aunt of Chengyang to provide disaster relief? Two times, was it the same method or similar words? They all promised to value profits and tempted you to share his worries without hesitation. It is really not worth suffering two losses!"

Queen Tao's face turned pale, she thought about it carefully, and said, "It's different! This time with Chengyang participating, your father can't be so heartless."

Xiao Chengwen smiled contemptuously, "Last time, killing the princes was destined to bear the infamy of the world. The Tao family was enough! This time, saving the people of the world, the Tao family's power was too weak to bear such a great responsibility. Everyone knows that Chengyang is rich. For the sake of the country, it is too natural for the father to plot against Chengyang. Afterwards, should the queen of the mother fulfill the promise of "Thousand Miles Joe"? Will the mother think that the father will?"

Empress Tao was originally very sure that as long as the third brother successfully provided disaster relief and returned to the capital, the title of the crown prince would be a foregone conclusion.

However, after Xiao Chengwen's analysis, she began to doubt the emperor's intentions and credit.

The emperor has a criminal record.

The Tao family is a living example.

She looked pale and asked, "Are you sure your father won't reward your third brother?"

"I will definitely reward you! I will reward you with gold, silver and jade, imperial ware, official positions, and even titles. Why should my mother determine that my father will definitely reward you with the position of crown prince?"

Yes, why?

But if she didn't reward the position of the crown prince, she would have tried her best to find a way to gather food to provide disaster relief, wouldn't it be a joke?

With just one empty word, Tao Hua and Chengyang took out tens of thousands of loads of food.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is the spirit of selfless dedication.

Bang!

Queen Tao picked up the teacup and smashed it directly on the ground.

The tea cup was broken into pieces, just like Queen Tao's heart, which had long been broken into pieces and could never heal.

Xiao Chengwen softly comforted: "Why should the queen be angry? Things in the world cannot always develop according to the plan of the father. Make plans early!"

Queen Tao said sternly: "If your father refuses to fulfill his promise in the end, I will not hesitate to break up. When the whole world is against him and refuses to take out food to provide disaster relief, it is our palace that will shoulder the burden, raise food, and share his worries. He cannot be so cruel, and he cannot break the bridge across the river."

Xiao Chengwen said coldly: "My son said that for the sake of imperial power, the closest relatives can also be killed!"

The word "kill" seems to have the power of thousands of arrows piercing the heart, and Queen Tao's heart hurts severely.

She covered her heart and said sternly: "You are right. For the sake of imperial power, the closest relatives can also be killed!"

She gritted her teeth and silently estimated her capital in her heart.

It's okay if anything else.

The most critical military power is to count on son-in-law Liu Baoping.

She said to Xiao Chengwen: "You have a good relationship with Mr. Liu. If you have time, please contact him and find out what he thinks."

Xiao Chengwen seemed to be smiling, "Don't forget, mother, the Liu family's soldiers are far away in Liangzhou."

Queen Tao sneered, "The northwest is still drought! As long as the food cannot reach the northwest, what will happen to the northwest?"

oh!

Have you finally made up your mind?

Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and smiled mockingly.

"I understand what the mother's meaning is. I will have a good talk with Liu Baoping."

"That's great! Tell him that the palace will never treat the Liu family unfairly. His girl is about to come to Beijing to get married. If he wants, the palace can give a marriage decree."

"No need to be so troublesome. During the wedding, the mother sent Mei Shaojian to send a generous gift to the door, which is enough!"

"Just do as you wish!"

Queen Tao made up her mind.

Xiao Chengwen also achieved his goal, was satisfied and took his wife and daughter out of the palace to return home.

For the first time, he ate a bowl of rice and danced with excitement.

Xiao Chengwen scolded him: "Reserved!"
Chapter completed!
