Chapter 320 Mud can't support the wall
Actually, if you want to say how bad the prince is, I really don't have one.
He didn't kill or set fire, and he didn't do anything outrageous.
He's just incompetent.
It would be fine if he was really a born stupid person, but he was one of those people who were a little stupider than ordinary people, but still within the range of ordinary people.
The point is, he doesn't work hard.
He is extremely lazy, greedy for pleasure, and greedy for food and drink, but if you say he is extravagant and lustful, he is not to that extent.
To put it simply, if you ask him to recite a poem, he wants to drink tea and eat snacks, and he only cares about enjoying it. Strong, he is not ashamed at all, but takes "stupid" as a reliance.
Asking him to practice kung fu, needless to say, is simply killing him. Even if the palace servants kneel on the ground, softly and hard, and try their best to beg him, he knows that the servants dare not do anything to him. won't move.
Even if Emperor Ming Pei or Xiao Tai went there in person...is he afraid?
Of course he is afraid, so he will try hard for a while.
Just working hard for a while, a little tired, a little pain, a little skin scratch, he became paralyzed, shaking like a sieve, unwilling to work hard anymore... He was still afraid, but even if he was afraid, he would Refusing to try even a little bit.
Even if Emperor Ming Pei or Xiao Tai were ruthless and beat him, he would lie on the ground and cry, refusing to get up because of the pain.
His idea is, you don’t dare to beat me to death anyway, I can rest for a long time if I try to hurt once, and I can still eat and drink well. If I wake up, it hurts again and I have to work hard After a long time, after learning this, I still need to learn that...
So he couldn't stand up.
He has been using this method to deal with everyone "tactfully", completely using "stupid" as a weapon for laziness, and he will not take hard and soft. Incentives to appease or something are even more useless.
You know, when Emperor Ming Pei was still Qianlong, it was the time when Mobei was in chaos. He died two sons one after another, and after that, for ten years, he only had one son, the crown prince. Pain is like a treasure, and even these petite and greedy little problems are also cute.
So, as soon as Emperor Ming Pei came to the throne, he was named the prince.
At that time, he was only six years old. These problems did not seem serious. Who would have thought that it would be like this now.
Dayan royal family, since Emperor Taizu, has attached great importance to the cultivation of the children of the family. Among these people, there are quite a few who are both civil and military, but the crown prince can be mediocre. No matter what competition, the subordinates make it very difficult.
After experiencing a series of jokes such as horse racing falling off the horse, wrestling on the buttocks, writing typos in Wendou, making mistakes in the steps of the ceremony, and so on... The royal family has lost all face, and the name of the prince's incompetence has also spread to the court , spread throughout the capital, and Emperor Ming Pei completely gave up, so he no longer cared about him.
Actually, the position of the crown prince has been precarious since then.
Because the prince is like this, the second and third princes have fans, but the prince is only surrounded by Xiao Tai.
Xiao Tai didn't want to bother with him either.
But everyone can ignore him, only he can't.
The Xiao family has a thin family, and several generations passed on a single pass. In Xiao Tai's generation, he is still the only male.
Therefore, the Xiao family has always protected the calf.
Since the elder sister, Queen Xiao, passed away, Xiao Tai has been protecting his nephew.
He is only four years older than him, but he is more worried than his old father. Even though he really doesn't like this "child", he still can't bear to leave him alone.
To put it bluntly, when the prince is a prince, he can protect him, because the prince is also a king... But once the prince is not a prince, he will at most feed him with good food and drink, but he will not give him any help, because that At that time, he was just his nephew, not the king anymore.
The emperor understands this matter, Xiao Tai understands it, many discerning people understand it, only the prince does not understand it.
In fact, Emperor Ming Pei was guilty. He would often say in private that it was because he spoiled him too much when he was young that he developed such a temperament.
But how long can such guilt last?
That's why I said that the position of the current crown prince really exists in name only, but no one dared to say this before a decree was issued.
Xiao Tai strode into the East Palace and gave a big gift: "Your Majesty, my minister Xiao Tai."
The prince raised his chin: "Excuse me." After a while, he said: "Peace."
Xiao Tai stood up with a calm expression.
He's a big man, but he's not stupid!
He doesn't care about many subtleties, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand!
Even if he meets the emperor, he doesn't need to perform such a great gift!
You must know that the so-called Dali Jishou is the "heaviest in worship" ceremony! When saluting, kneel on the ground, prostrate down, and when the head touches the ground, it is necessary to stay for a while. This is a complete etiquette.
So, if you really want to be exempt, you will be exempted before the person kneels down, and before the head touches the ground at the latest.
It wasn't until he had performed the whole salute that he was excused, and he was asked to kneel on the ground for a while before he said flat... This is so hard that people can't even notice it.
But he is also used to it. He is full of civil and military affairs, and he only dares to ask him to perform such a grand ceremony, because he loves him!
When he got up, the prince smiled and said: "Uncle, I heard that something happened to the second brother??"
Xiao Tai nodded: "Yes."
The crown prince was very annoyed by his way of talking word by word, frowned, and said: "Gu also heard that Yuan Weiming became the right minister?"
Xiao Tai still nodded: "Yes."
The prince stopped laughing, and stared at him thoughtfully.
Xiao Tai stood very calmly, the prince took a long breath before he let out a long breath, suppressed his anger and said: "Uncle, why don't you go and win over Yuan Weiming, after all he comes from the family of the emperor's teacher, he has a good reputation and good knowledge, Scholars all believe in him, if he can be drawn to our side, I will be invincible if I have an uncle Wu, and Wen Youyuan will be invincible?"
Xiao Tai was speechless for a while.
He is really not a talent who understands politics and state affairs, but at least he is still a person, and he has a brain!
These words are said by the kind of slaves who don't know a single word and don't understand shit.
The slave wanted to go further, and persuaded the master to fight for power with clever words.
But the prince of a country actually listened to the letter, and then said such naive and stupid things... Yuan Weiming would not support this kind of prince unless he was really out of his mind, right?
But the problem is, as a minister, he can't say such things!
If the prince is scheming, the uncle and nephew will close the door and say a few words secretly, but the problem is that the prince is an idiot, and he dare not gossip a word.
Xiao Tai only said: "Your Highness, be careful with your words. The minister and Yuan Xiang are both civil and military, so we can't talk to each other."
