These words were The King of Song's admonition to Wang Chong. At the same time, they were also The King of Song's heartfelt words!
It wasn't easy for the Tang dynasty to reach its current height, and it wasn't easy for the Central Plains to reach its current height. It took several thousand years for such a great emperor to appear in the Central Plains.
As for the current Holy Emperor, The King of Song respected him from the bottom of his heart. This was precisely the reason why he couldn't tolerate any blemish on the Holy Emperor's name.
For a ruler to take the wife of a subject, this was against the 'moral principles'.
For a father to take the wife of his son, this was against the 'moral principles'!
…
It would be a huge stain on any monarch's reputation if they did something that went against the rules and ethics. The current Holy Emperor was a man of bold vision and wisdom. It wasn't easy for the Tang dynasty to reach its current height!
Thus, The King of Song couldn't allow such a thing to happen to the current Holy Emperor!
If anyone dared to oppose him, if anyone dared to support this matter, they would be his enemy!
If Wang Chong dared to dissuade or oppose him on this matter, then the King of Song would truly have misjudged him. For such a person, the more capable and talented he was, the greater the harm he would bring to the royal court!
If Wang Chong really wanted to dissuade him, then as long as he was still in the royal court, he would never allow Wang Chong to stand out in the royal court.
Even if Wang Chong was the descendant of Duke Jiu, the son of Wang Geng!
Hu!
The bamboo forest around the fake mountain rustled, but the atmosphere was extremely heavy. Even Lu Ting was silent by the side, his expression extremely solemn.
Wang Chong sighed deeply in his heart. He knew that no matter what he said at this moment, as long as he opened his mouth, it would be wrong.
However, he couldn't ignore the 'Consort Tai Zhen incident'.
The impact of this matter was too great. This was not only because The King of Song was the Wang family's' backer ', but also because Big Uncle Wang Gen would be implicated in this matter.
More importantly, Wang Chong understood that if he wanted to fulfill his mission and change the fate of the Central Plains and the Tang dynasty, The King of Song was an indispensable part of it!
As the saying goes, "Nothing is perfect, and no one is perfect." The King of Song might have some shortcomings, but he was the most proactive person in the imperial court and the strongest supporter of the military!
Regardless of whether it was King Qi or the Yao Clan, neither of them possessed such foresight. Their vision was too limited, and they would only stare at the inside.
The Yao family was good at scheming, and they were best at fighting among themselves. What King Qi wanted was power! If The King of Song were to fall, they would be in charge of the overall situation. For the Tang dynasty, it would definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing!
In the future catastrophe, the imperial court needed someone like The King of Song, the Tang dynasty needed someone like The King of Song, the Central Plains needed someone like The King of Song, and so did Wang Chong.
Only with a powerful warmonger like The King of Song supporting him in the imperial court would he be able to carry out his plans without any worries.
Therefore, no matter what, The King of Song couldn't fall!
Be it for official or personal reasons, for the Tang dynasty or for the Wang family, Wang Chong couldn't allow him to fall!
"Your Highness …"
Wang Chong lowered his head and spoke, finding it abnormally difficult to say these two words.
"Wang Chong doesn't mean to support or oppose Your Highness. However, regarding the matter of Consort Tai Zhen, why don't Your Highness ask Prince Shou?"
Weng!
Silence! Unparalleled silence!
Upon hearing the name 'Prince Shou', both The King of Song and Lu Ting revealed astonished expressions. Prince Shou! Prince Shou! …
The two had thought of everything, but never in their wildest dreams did they expect Wang Chong to mention Prince Shou!
Without a doubt, King Shou was the person at the center of the 'Consort Taizhen' storm. However, regardless of whether it was King Song, Lu Ting, King Qi, the Yao Clan, or the officials of the royal court, the only person that no one had expected was' King Shou '!
'A father takes his son's wife, and a lord takes his subject's wife'. In this matter, the most awkward and 'hurt' one was undoubtedly Prince Shou, Li Mao.
'If the emperor wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die'. If the emperor's father wants to take his son's wife, what can this son do?
Prince Shou had already been hurt once, and no one wanted him to be hurt a second time. Therefore, be it The King of Song, King Qi, or the officials in the imperial court, no one wanted to visit Prince Shou and ask for his opinion on this matter.
"The entire imperial court is involved in the matter of Consort Tai Zhen. Wang Chong isn't trying to express anything, but why didn't Your Highness ask Prince Shou first before making a decision? "
Wang Chong said with his head lowered.
Wang Chong felt that there were too many questions regarding this matter back then.
Why would a wise and astute emperor who spent the first half of his life suddenly become so lustful toward women, to the point of disregarding half of the officials in the imperial court and demoting a prince of the imperial family and many important officials in the imperial court?
If this person was a fatuous emperor, then so be it. However, he was publicly acknowledged as a wise emperor. However, in the matter of Consort Tai Zhen, his actions were definitely not that of a wise emperor!
Just like what The King of Song had said in his previous life, this was a huge stain on his reputation!
The disparity between before and after was too great, and they didn't seem like the same person at all!
Not only so, 'Consort Tai Zhen' was known as the number one beauty of the Tang dynasty. She had a face that could captivate even the birds and beasts, as well as a beauty that outshone the moon. Regardless of which time-space she was in, she was publicly acknowledged as a beauty throughout the ages.
Wang Chong had never met Consort Tai Zhen before, so he didn't know what she looked like. However, Wang Chong had met Prince Shou, Li Mao.
In his previous life, Wang Chong was a famous hedonistic son of a wealthy family in the capital. He was idle, ignorant, and incompetent. After the incident of Consort Tai Zhen, Wang Chong had once accidentally met Prince Shou, Li Mao.
At that time, Prince Shou's face was glowing, and he was full of smiles. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like someone who had just lost his true love and had his wife snatched away by his father.
Even though it was only for an instant, Prince Shou sensed something and immediately dashed into the courtyard, never to appear again. However, that glimpse left a deep impression on Wang Chong.
This was the first time that Wang Chong had met Prince Shou, and it was also the only time in his life!
Now that Wang Chong had reincarnated and the incident of Consort Tai Zhen happened once again, Wang Chong subconsciously recalled that encounter. He recalled the glowing and smiling Prince Shou.
Wang Chong had a feeling that the matter of 'Consort Tai Zhen' wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface!
"Is this what you want to say?"
The King of Song stared at Wang Chong said, and a glint flickered in his eyes. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Yes!"
Wang Chong clenched his teeth and said solemnly.
He had wanted to say more and, if possible, persuade The King of Song to change his mind. However, Wang Chong knew that going too far was as bad as falling short. Given his current relationship with The King of Song, this was the most he could say.
"I understand."
The King of Song's expression became much better, and he wasn't as stern as before.
"It's hard to explain the matters of the royal court in a few words. It's good that you are concerned about the matters of the royal court. However, there are many things that you will only understand after you grow up. "
After saying this, the King of Song left with Lu Ting. A moment later, the carriage started moving. Amidst the rumbling sounds, the carriage quickly left the Four Quarters Embassy and headed east.
"Sigh!"
Looking at the departing figure of the carriage, Wang Chong sighed deeply in his heart. Wang Chong knew that his words were in vain this time.
The King of Song didn't listen to him.
However, Wang Chong wasn't surprised by this outcome. At this moment, given the King of Song's state of mind, if he could really listen to the opinions of a teenager like him, he wouldn't be the King of Song.
In fact, the King of Song's reaction was already beyond his expectations for the King of Song to say those words after hearing his words.
But even so, Wang Chong didn't feel discouraged.
Even though the King of Song didn't listen to his words, Wang Chong knew that when that matter happened in the near future, the King of Song probably wouldn't think so anymore.
… No matter what, I've already done all that I can. The rest is up to the will of the heavens!
Wang Chong thought.
Wang Chong wasn't worried about his big uncle, and he didn't intend to persuade him either. His big uncle and the King of Song had formed an alliance. If he could persuade the King of Song, he would surely be able to persuade his big uncle too.
On the other hand, if he couldn't persuade the King of Song, with the King of Song taking the lead, it would be impossible to persuade his big uncle.
Because that would be equivalent to asking his big uncle to betray the King of Song!
Moreover, Wang Chong knew that if his big uncle really changed his mind, it might not be a good thing …
Turning around, Wang Chong strode in the direction of the Erudite Pavilion.
…
"Your Highness, should we pay a visit to King Shou?"
At the same time, unknown to Wang Chong, another conversation was going on in the King of Song's carriage.
"You are thinking of …"
In the carriage, the King of Song raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Ting in surprise. Even though Wang Chong had done some shocking things that didn't match his age, he was still a fifteen-year-old child.
The King of Song didn't expect Lu Ting to actually listen to Wang Chong's words.
"That child's words aren't unreasonable. Besides, we won't lose anything by meeting King Shou."
Lu Ting said.
Even though Lu Ting didn't think that they should give in on the matter of Consort Tai Zhen, that child didn't seem to be speaking without thinking either.
The King of Song was silent, seemingly considering the feasibility of Lu Ting's words.
"Forget it."
The King of Song pondered for a moment, but still shook his head.
"The matter of Consort Tai Zhen is also something that King Shou can't mention. He has already been hurt once in this matter. If we do this again, it will be equivalent to opening his scars and sprinkling salt on them.
"Moreover, ever since this matter happened, King Shou has been in seclusion. Even if he wants to meet him, it won't be easy. It's better not to trouble him with this matter. "
The King of Song rejected Lu Ting's suggestion.
Lu Ting sighed inwardly, knowing that the King of Song was still unwilling to touch King Shou's scars. It was true that King Shou was in seclusion and refused visitors, but with the identity of the King of Song's Imperial Uncle, if he insisted on meeting King Shou, how could he not meet him?
The King of Song just didn't want to meet him.
"Let's abide by Your Highness's decree."
