Chapter 182, Father and Son Bureau
While participating in politics in the past two days, Shi Zi has not forgotten his main task, which is to select a good heir - even this is his original purpose.
He actually did some investigations. As long as he is now the king, many people will do their best to do their best as long as they continue to give instructions.
After the matter of the queen, he also took advantage of the situation to clean up the eunuch, which was also a shock to the slut in the palace.
Afterwards, Shi Zi took another round of ties and pulled a batch of ties. He temporarily gathered a new group of confidants. He dared not say that he was very loyal, but at least he was reliable and available in the short term.
It was also through them that Shi Zi figured out some of the current composition of the royal family members.
First, the king and his concubines in the harem, but there are more than a hundred concubines, nobles and beauties with different titles from the queen; secondly, they are descendants, with four sons and thirteen daughters, and the eldest son is born by the queen. He is fifteen years old this year and is made the crown prince.
In addition, some royal relatives, such as uncles and brothers of the royal family, were all princes and nobles. However, due to the imperial edict of the previous king, these royal families were not allowed to participate in politics and make decisions, and became waste relatives raised, just like the pig farm of the royal family in the late Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Shi Zi’s key target of investigation was the prince.
Since he was identified as the heir early, he naturally started the education of the royal heir early. He even left the palace to open a mansion at the age of twelve and had his own team.
At this time, the prince stood in front of Shi Zi. He had already rushed over after receiving a message from his mother, but he didn't expect to meet the king here directly. Obviously, he was a little surprised.
This prince's magnificent weapon is very good.
However, the son followed his father. According to Shi Zi's investigation, his hobbies were exactly the same as his father.
Moreover, compared with the princess who have more children but fewer children, the prince's children are already in a state of catching up with the king. From the age of four or five children, he has to be born on average in a year.
At least in terms of inheriting the family line, the prince's mission was well completed. Although the eldest son was only three years old, he looked smart and promising.
So even though he is not a likable person and has a bad reputation in the government and the country, he has many supporters based on this alone.
In the eyes of these people, unlike the king, the prince was young at this time, and there were still some teachings that had time to turn.
"Father, mother... I don't know what's wrong with calling my son to come?"
The prince took the initiative to "attack", but Shi Zi "heared" his voice but was not like this.
"It seems that I went to the old prime minister before, and he must have mentioned this matter with his father. Now we can see whether the father has really changed or is it on a whim, just like the past..."
This mind reading technique is not a magic trick, but it should be said to be a superpower and a reward for signing in.
The advantage over ordinary magic is that this mind reading technique can be used indiscriminately, which means that even the Tathagata and other characters cannot hide it from Shi Zi.
However, if it is really that good, Shi Zi will not use it very rarely. The biggest limitation of this mind-reading technique is "exclusiveness". That is to say, when using this kind of superpower, Shi Zi can only enter an ordinary state and cannot use other magical magical means.
This is why, except for eavesdropping on Monkey Brother's thoughts several times under the Five Elements Mountain, Shi Zi has basically never used this again.
At this time, after "listening" to the prince's words, Shi Zi's heart moved. It seemed that the prince was indeed ulterior motives and was actually thinking about testing him.
From what he said in his heart, it is obvious that all the images he gave to the outside world were pretending, and it is not difficult to imagine what he was doing.
After all, in the royal family, in addition to family affection, there are also subordinates. It is normal for the king to gradually become afraid of the prince over time.
So he was obviously deliberately stigmatizing himself. Compared with the image of a wise and powerful prince, of course, this image that he was not enterprising and indulged in pleasure was easier to relax the king.
As for whether he will be too far, first of all, he has not made any big mistakes in public and actively cultivated the next generation. At that time, he may be able to "benefit the father and son"; secondly, this matter is decided by the king, and it is obvious that the king has not been dissatisfied with him before, so he can continue.
If the king hadn't heard the news in the past two days, he seemed to be conspiring with the old prime minister, and even the wind was faintly heard that the king would attack the big tribes in the country, and even the royal family would not be able to sleep or eat. He suspected that there was something different about it, and he wouldn't have made such a comeback.
If Shi Zi was really the king himself, he might feel cold when he saw this and then he would have a murderous intent.
Even an ordinary person would probably be shocked by his cunning and think he is terrible and doesn't want to interact with him.
But as the heir of a country, Shi Zi can only say that this kind of tolerance and ambition have already possessed the basis for becoming a "wise ruler".
So Shi Zi naturally changed his mind at this moment. He even thought that he might as well let the prince participate in his "new policy" now, so that he could have a personal experience and understanding, and it would also help him implement it in the future.
Shi Zi can also open his eyes, for example, give him a "deep study" in his dream. A person's ideological transformation is subtle. If he can instill more ideas in his dream, he will gradually become what Shi Zi hopes he will become.
It's a bit like brainwashing.
Of course, Shi Zi still has enough time to continue to investigate him, pull him in directly, and observe him even closer.
Thinking of this, he had an idea in his heart and smiled and said, "Actually, I originally thought that Wang Er was not doing his job properly all day long, only knowing to be addicted to lust and am so painful. Later, he heard rumors about me bullying the queen, and even the old prime minister knew about it. Wang Er even went to ask the old prime minister, which made me suspicious and angry.
"I just calmed down and thought about it carefully and realized that Wang'er was also concerned and confused. And having such filial piety is even more valuable. I am a father and should be more happy. So I originally wanted to summon Wanger to scold him, but at this time the anger was gone, so I might as well let you mother and son talk about the past."
"My father has really changed his nature. If he was not happy to see his mother, he would not be happy to see me getting close to me..." The prince's voice came to Shi Zi's ears again, and this time he only smiled.
The queen was surprised when she heard it, because she rarely saw the king praising the prince in person, and then she smiled very comfortably.
Although no one can shake the position of the prince, as a mother, she lives in the deep palace and does not know her son's actions very well. She only vaguely heard that he is very much like his father.
This is not a good thing for her. After all, the king looks like that, and those with a brain know that he is a fool. He is just born well and has a great foundation left by his ancestors, so he can make his fortune. But if his son continues to do so, it will only be disadvantages and no benefits.
But as the queen, she lives in the deep palace. After all, she cannot live too close to the prince who has already opened the palace, so she can only give some advice when he comes to the palace to visit, but she also knows that he may not be able to listen.
She was always cautious in the palace, walking on thin ice, just to avoid dragging her son down, but if her son was not good enough, she would have no choice.
However, the prince's appearance in the past was not worried but happy when the king saw it. He was happy to see it and let it go, which made the queen very helpless.
Now she rashly heard that the king was dissatisfied with the prince, but she became worried. Now she was relieved when she heard the king's statement.
This mood was like a roller coaster, and it was hard for her to persevere until now.
However, when the prince heard the king's words, he raised his heart and said respectfully: "The father is wrong, and the son is confused and confused for a moment. Last night, he thought about it and wanted to apologize to his father, but he didn't want to get the summons of his mother first, and then he realized that it was the father who wanted to see me."
Speaking of this, the prince first bowed and then said, "Please forgive me for being ruthless!"
Shi Zi waved his hand and smiled, "Why should Wang Er be too humble? Father and motherly love is a family ethics. In the past, I neglected my love for you and taught you to separate from the queen and her son early. Now it seems that Wang Er has not alienated your queen because of this, and has treated her as always as before.
"It's a pity that I've been busy with political affairs over the years and ignored my relatives, so that you gradually became distant from me, which made me misunderstanding today."
"How could a son know that being a prince is very good, and he should work hard to indulge in worldly feelings and be burdened by it? What the father does is the role model of a son's son."
Even though he said so, the prince was thinking in his heart: "Can't it be that the father is also testing me?"
Good boy, you're just a mistake.
Both of them were talking nonsense. If outsiders heard this, they would say "the son followed his father" and even if they lie, they would not blush at all.
And both of them knew that the other party was talking nonsense, and you were talking nonsense to me.
Shi Zi smiled faintly, suddenly sighed again, and said, "So, since Wang'er left the palace and opened the palace, I have never talked to Wang'er again, nor have I eaten at the same table. It seems reasonable that the relationship is becoming increasingly distant.
"It is often said outside that if a royal father and son fight in different families, it is a rare blessing, and it is even rarer to be harmonious and happy. Even when I was the crown prince, I had conflicts with the previous kings and had unfair arrangements with the previous kings.
"I even thought about using troops to attack him, joining the palace forces, putting him under house arrest and forcing him to the palace..."
"My son is afraid!" The prince was really scared. Before Shi Zi could finish speaking, he fell to the ground.
The queen next to her was also stunned, shocked, and then knelt on the ground tremblingly, but did not dare to say anything.
The queen's cowardice is really at the core. Shi Zi originally thought she was a show-off, but when she heard her voice, she realized that this poor woman was really walking on thin ice over the years.
And her only hope was still on this son who was incompetent in her eyes.
The king's favor came and went quickly. After the queen gave birth to a son and a daughter, she quickly fell out of favor and never came back.
Even if I went to the Queen's harem to spend the night, it would be more like "avoiding sleep" than getting close to her.
In fact, if it weren't for the eldest son and the beloved princess, the queen might have been deposed before, but her status would have been shaky.
Otherwise, why would the white-faced fox be replaced and made queen soon after it arrives?
"Why are you afraid? Even if you really have this idea, it is normal for human beings. What's more, I think about it, can't you think about it?"
The prince couldn't figure out for a moment that the king was talking casually or deliberately trying, but he would definitely not take this seriously, just said no.
However, Shi Zi suddenly came over, bent down and helped him up himself, patted his hand and said, "I also know that in the past, I have been wrong with me, so that everyone in the world has misunderstandings about me, and even the queen and the prince have some misunderstandings.
"But it doesn't matter. From now on, the prince will follow me and observe the politics together. Then he will know whether I am sincere or say it..."
The queen was delighted and looked at the prince.
She thought it was simpler. If the father and son could get closer, the relationship would always be better than before.
However, the prince hesitated for a moment before bowing to answer the order: "Son of the minister obeys the order!"
This matter naturally spread quickly, of course Shi Zi intentionally spread it.
This is obviously an act of cultivating heirs. Although many people think of it, although the king is indulging in women, he is still lukewarm in the past when the Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous. Why did he suddenly want everyone to cultivate it?
Could it be that there is any hidden disease?
Xingxian naturally knew that hidden disease did not exist.
When she was having fun in the evening, she had no time to think about anything else. It was not until after the end that the afterglow was long that she had the strength to ask Shi Zi: "Sir, I think that the prince can take the important task?"
Shi Zi shook his head and said, "How can I see now that the matter of governing the country is a slight difference or a thousand miles of mistakes. Even if I am just starting out, I dare to easily judge others?"
Xingxian smiled again and said, "Although this is the case, I am afraid that if I have been the king for a long time, I will forget my true identity. When the time comes, I will stay for a long time..."
"If I stay for a long time, then I will not be able to give the beauty the identity of a concubine to be ashamed of a beautiful woman?" Shi Zi smiled deliberately, but it attracted Xingxian's coquettishness.
Usually, Xingxian is always reserved and elegant, but when she is in bed, she will change her personality and is more relaxed than the Jade-faced Princess.
Although he has only been with Shi Zi four times so far, he seems to have been developed.
Shi Zi sighed and said again: "Don't worry, Xingxian, I have a sense of my own behavior, so I will naturally not be addicted to this. I will only arrange this country's affairs properly, and I will lead you on the road and travel around the world..."
Of course, the main purpose is to find a place to sign in.
If it weren't for the fact that this place was close to that Tianzhu and there were few places left to sign in, Shi Zi wouldn't have been willing to delay here for so long.
However, it is not a waste of time. If this monk country can really develop according to his vision, then tens of thousands of people in this country can enjoy the legacy, and if they delay for a while, Shi Zi will not be a loss.
"Beauty, how about it again?"
Xingxian suddenly said with charming eyes like silk: "The Grand Master is fierce, the dragon spirit, the tiger is fierce, I can't stand it anymore!"
