Chapter 251: Chatting, Hinting

But at this point, the emperor and Chu Xuanyi couldn't help but think of Chu Qinghuang at the same time.

Before the age of fourteen, Chu Qinghuang had a violent temper. He was really fearless. He didn't take anyone seriously. If he saw anyone unhappy, he would just whip him and whip him to death on the spot.

The most important thing is that after she entered the dark pavilion, she defeated all the invincible opponents in the dark pavilion, but she could not defeat Fucang, so she was so angry that she directly used her royal privileges to get this shadow guard to her side and forced him to Recognize yourself as Lord.

After the Shadow Guard recognized his master, he handed over all his destiny to his master. He could not control his life or death. He had to do whatever his master asked him to do - the rules ingrained in him through years of training made the Shadow Guard know only loyalty, so all Everyone thought that Fucang would have a difficult life in the future.

Some even expected him to live less than a year.

But the shadow guard is just a shadow guard. If one life is gone, it is gone. Who cares?

Chu Qinghuang has changed a lot in the past few months. Although her temper is still a little cold and unkind, she is no longer so impulsive and irritable, but more decisive and domineering than before.

And Fucang, who has been ignored for a long time, is still alive and well.

There was silence in Yugan Palace for a while.

The emperor spoke slowly: "Xuan Yi."

Chu Xuanyi lowered his head: "Yes."

"What kind of woman do you think Qinghuang is?"

Chu Xuanyi's expression tightened slightly, and he narrowed his eyes and said respectfully: "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is very capable."

capable?

The emperor laughed: "Qinghuang has indeed been very capable in the past few months, and he has actually done a few things that make me happy."

Chu Xuanyi said nothing.

However, the emperor did not want to let him go and continued to ask: "I want to hear your true thoughts."

Chu Xuanyi couldn't guess what his intention was, so he replied thoughtfully: "Your Highness has become much kinder during this period, and is much gentler than before."

"Gentle?" The emperor was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that someone would apply such words to Qinghuang, "How do you say it?"

"Although Her Royal Highness the Princess still looks cold and unkind, Her Highness is dealing with corrupt officials. Even if an ordinary person accidentally offends His Highness, as long as there is no evidence of guilt in her hands, Your Highness will usually handle it lightly and There will never be any retribution.”

As he said that, he added: "It's a little different from the cruel temperament that was rumored before."

The rumored cruelty?

The emperor didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that Qinghuang's previous cruel temperament was not a rumor, but a fact, but it did change completely during this period.

However, Chu Xuanyi probably didn't mean to compliment him when he said this, but he actually realized the benefits of this "gentleness".

After all, several clan members were also involved in the incident that happened at the Qushui Shang Poetry Party in the suburbs. The initiators, the Sixth Princess and Feng Jinzhi, were severely punished. Although several clan members were also beaten, But overall, it was a near miss - and this result was the result of Chu Xuanyi kneeling in the eldest princess's mansion all night to beg for forgiveness.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

"Qinghuang's temperament is comparable to that of a man, or even worse." The emperor said calmly, "He acts without scruples, is vigorous but not reckless, ruthless but measured, and uses thunderous means to punish corrupt officials and traitors. As long as she is I don’t hesitate to be an enemy of everyone if I want to do something... I feel ashamed of myself.”

Chu Xuanyi listened silently and did not comment easily.

"Xuan Yi, who among my sons do you think is as courageous as Qinghuang?"

Chu Xuanyi thought about it in his mind and spoke slowly: "The eldest princess has extraordinary courage. It is difficult for ordinary people to compare with her."

"If you took my position, would you be wary of her temper and ability?"

Chu Xuanyi's expression changed: "Your Majesty——"

"Don't be nervous, I'm just chatting with you." The emperor sighed, "It doesn't matter if you say so."

"Yes." Chu Xuanyi lowered his eyes, "When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, it will be fine if he is broad-minded and tolerant. If he is headstrong and jealous, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate the existence of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"Then who do you think among my princes is the most broad-minded and tolerant?"

"I dare not lie."

"I let you say it."

Chu Xuanyi knelt down and said, "I dare not judge the conduct and ambition of the princes."

"That's all." The emperor laughed at himself, "I know the virtues of these sons of mine, so why do I need others to judge them?"

Chu Xuanyi said nothing.

"Get up." The emperor picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea slowly, "If Qinghuang had a temper like this, he wouldn't be able to become an emperor for eternity, but he could at least be a heroic emperor with great talent and strategy. "

Chu Xuanyi's heart suddenly froze.

"Xuan Yi." The emperor raised his eyes and looked at him, "From now on, you should try your best to hang out with Qinghuang. She is now helping me to rectify the imperial court and eliminate corrupt officials and traitors. A person's power is limited after all, and it is easy to make enemies. You have to help me more. Help her."

Chu Xuanyi vaguely understood what the emperor meant, and almost couldn't believe that the emperor would have such incredible thoughts. However, thinking about the questions the emperor asked just now, he felt that... although they were unexpected, they seemed to be reasonable. among.

With Chu Qinghuang's temperament, no matter who among the current princes eventually became the emperor, they would not be able to tolerate her. Chu Qinghuang was not a person who would kowtow to others, so...

Only if she sits in that position will there be a perfect result.
