Dream Breaks One Day - C148
When Wang Su got down from the first floor, he walked on the road towards the Imperial Study extremely naturally, but Eunuch Li ran over and whispered a few words into his ear, causing him to have no choice but to frown.
” “Not going.” He continued to walk towards the Imperial Study. Without the slightest hesitation.
However, in the days when he had his mother by his side, he never seemed to realize that he was a prince …
What kind of existence was a prince? Of course, he should be like the Second Brother, where eunuchs and palace maids would follow him around as they went out. If she tripped, the empress would take the heads of her peers.
For a very, very long time, he lived quietly within the Plum Court with his mother. The Plum Garden were located deep within the palace, and very few people would come here. Thus, the mother and son pair were able to live here in peace.
He didn’t really remember what happened when he was young, so even now, his mother’s face was still unclear in his heart. However, he remembered when he was very young, his mother had carried him up from the bed and made him sit in the courtyard to look at Luoxue and the plum blossoms.
It was extremely cold in the winter. The two of them lacked extremely thick clothes, so his mother took his red hands and put them on her chest.
In his heart, his mother had always been an overly humble woman. She had held his hand and brought back some seeds from outside the palace with great difficulty, carefully planting them in the courtyard like a precious treasure. Tell him when to plant? How long does it take for a radish to grow? The vegetables were ripe to the point of being timely?
It was as if this was what he should learn. However, his mother treated him like a farmer and made him remember all of this in his heart. Four books and five scriptures, the essence of the Qi nation, and more important …
He only eagerly followed his mother, doing what she hoped he would learn. However, he had too many thoughts and doubts in his heart.
In his short childhood, his only playmate was his own Second Brother.
At that time, he still hadn’t realized that he was also a prince … He also did not realize that there was any difference between a prince and a prince. In his eyes, the Second Brother was like a big brother. Play with him. She brought him to study, but when she met something delicious, she kept it for him …
Their childhood was really extremely short. No matter how Imperial Consort Mei taught this child, he still possessed a brain as intelligent as his father’s. In the end, he could still be considered a teenager. He was sent by a eunuch to study the Imperial Theory under the Crown Prince’s guidance. At first no one took him seriously.
When a prince left the Prince Bi, the rest of the people would just be reading with him. In the future, he would at most be a prince, and he might not even be able to become one. Prince Bi was talented, simple and honest. He was loved by the Emperor. As for the other princes, there were even the eldest son of the Minister, but because Prince Bi was old enough to go to school, all the children who were not too different in age were found, causing the Crown Prince to be more lively.
However, Wang Su was an exception among them. He was a lot younger than the others. I heard that it was specifically requested by the Prince Bi. If the Prince Bi didn’t mention him, perhaps the entire palace would have forgotten that the Emperor had such a son.
However, Wang Su, who had just entered the academy, had already displayed a talent that was exceptionally different from others. It was one thing to say that he had spent all his time in that small courtyard with his mother and hadn’t received any good instruction or words from the adults within the palace. However, at such a young age, he was actually much more intelligent than the others. All the things the teacher wanted to teach him were easy to understand. This news quickly spread throughout the palace.
In the end, even the Emperor began to ask about this son that he had never asked about.
“Your Majesty, the Lord Yin Tai is still waiting outside the hall?” Eunuch Li looked at the emperor with a tired expression and spoke exceptionally softly.
“Let him in.”
Recently, the imperial court had been making a ruckus over the appointment of a new official. The floods in the south had yet to settle down, but these people had always been fighting for their own benefits, as if they were fighting for their lives on imperial court all day.
When he brought the tea over, Wang Su habitually glanced at the man, scaring him to the point that he trembled. Oh, so it was only then that his father-in-law sent him away, so that someone else came to do some work for him.
He thought of that woman. If he looked at her like that, she would definitely stare back …
I wonder how she’s doing in the palace…
He could not remember Zhao Ci’s looks when he was young, he only knew that she was an ugly girl. They travelled to the West Cold together in the bandit’s dirty carriage. As if each of them had their own secrets, they leaned on each other to keep warm. It seemed to know that they were the same kind of people as everyone else.
He knew that the girl was not the naughty girl he had first met. She had even more secrets and stories on her body. But no one mentioned it.
At that time, he still had many more secrets. A change in the state of the nation as a whole, a desire for power.
He sometimes thought that maybe the Second Brother wouldn’t understand him. Everyone’s life was different. Some people were born with everything, while others had to put forth their full power to get an opportunity.
The tutor had said that the nine sons of the dragon were all different. But all nine of these sons had the possibility of becoming their own fathers, only the level of effort they put in were different.
He also wanted to thank his mother for giving him such a possibility.
What he wanted to fight for was this kind of opportunity. To let the father see him, to let the news of his mother’s death spread to the world, to let the truly damnable people die.
His mother had never taught him like the Imperial Tutor, telling him that you were born in a house of kings, that you were the son of a man who now owned this world, and that she seemed extremely reluctant to mention such a thing, but had done her best to tell him that it was your duty to live well, to plant the land, to watch the sunset, to guard your mother’s knees, and not to exert all your strength, just to get an opportunity for your father to see you.
When his mother died, he was kneeling in the mourning hall, his mind blank. He knew that he had lost a very important part of his life. It made him feel the pain of being gouged out. He had always thought that the amiable mother would be waiting for him at home, only when she was old and tortured by illness to the point where she didn’t want to stay in this world anymore.
As he knelt there, he thought about many things. His father had never come, not even stopping by to take a look.
He really wanted to ask his mother.
Don’t you think what you’ve given me is just a normal life like a commoner outside the palace? But how could ordinary people, wives, and husbands not enter the mourning hall?
If he was born in an ordinary family, why did he have to be on guard against everyone?
His mother had just accepted him into the palace once and died upon his return. He frantically tried to find out what had happened. Until it turns out that all emotions are directed at one person…
Prince Bi’s mother, Queen Mengyu.
Did she care? Wasn’t he afraid of his mother instigating him to snatch the Prince Bi’s throne? He hated that two-faced woman, and he also hated the Prince Bi who was born with everything.
For the first time, he had a desire for power. He needed to be strong enough to destroy everything.
He was a prince, and his mother’s status was indeed low, making him extremely inconspicuous since he was young. Even his father wouldn’t be able to remember him, but he had already suffered the struggles and pain of being a prince. A great price has already been paid for this.
He really wanted to ask the so-called father, “Why can’t you see me?”
The young Wang Su already understood why his father couldn’t see him and why he had so many brothers. Why was it that although his father was the Emperor, he cared deeply about his mother’s status as a lowly person?
Empress Mengyu’s family was a general who had just started the Empire, and she still held a heavy soldier in her hands. Half of the officials in the imperial court were extremely secretly connected to his family.
At such a time, was he only facing his own father?
Realizing the importance of military power, he began to practice martial arts. He began to learn deeply about the suffering of the people and the chaos along the borders. The argument over whether to fight or not on imperial court was really endless.
Sometimes, he even felt that those officials were just acting out a lively drama for the father, with no conclusion to the argument. With the situation like this, things were delayed all day long. The people were still crying and the border was being invaded.
In terms of governance, that’s not the way it is…
The Confucians, who were revered by the father, also treated the people as their heaven …
So how do you change that? How do you get the throne?
He finally began to cultivate his own influence, the kind of person who could speak for him in court. They travelled to the Western Regions to find a way to make a few of the Great Phoenix’s armies reach a surprise victory. He fought with the generals on the battlefield. Like they ask for more experience. It wasn’t that he wanted to ascend the throne, but that he wanted to become a person who took things step by step and became a force that couldn’t be ignored …
