Chapter 1650: Hard Chorus
Zhao Wei'e has a total of seven sons and eight daughters, Zhao Ke is his youngest child, just twenty, and, no matter from whose point of view, he feels that Zhao Ke should be the most mediocre one, and he can hardly find any advantages, but he has been valued by Zhao Wei'e, and has been made the prince, which has shocked many people, and they have speculated whether Zhao Ke is deliberately clumsy.
Actually, that's not the case.
Zhao Wei'e just felt that his youngest son might not have any big advantages, but there were no big shortcomings.
That's a remarkable thing in itself.
If there are no shortcomings, they will not be caught and put to death, let alone make any big mistakes.
Zhao Wei'e is not a qualified emperor, he himself thinks so, and in Zhao Wei'e's opinion, an emperor does not need to do much at all, as long as he does not make any mistakes in this life, he is a very qualified emperor. It sounds very simple, but who is not a sage and is not guilty? Therefore, it is also very difficult.
Honestly, many things are like this, often the easiest to seem, usually the hardest, such as - to live.
For a long time, Zhao Ke saw Zhao Wei'e, like a mouse seeing a cat, and he hid if he could, not because Zhao Wei'e was so strict with him, but simply because Zhao Wei'e was not a good person to get along with.
Not only Zhao Ke, but Zhao Wei'e's other children, when they saw Zhao Wei'e, they all subconsciously lowered their heads and didn't dare to meet each other's eyes.
Even a single glance can make them feel that the temperature around them has dropped quite a bit.
But now it's different, Zhao Ke feels that today's Zhao Wei'e seems to have changed as if he has changed.
Face to face with Zhao Wei'e, he didn't feel much pressure, but felt that the other party was a lot more pleasant.
The more this happened, the more Zhao Ke was uneasy, and he subconsciously said the previous sentence.
Unless it was the current enemy, it was difficult for him to understand that Zhao Wei'e could have such a transformation.
Besides, he is the crown prince of Zhao State, and he is also very clear about what the current situation of Zhao State is.
It is not too much to use the words "at stake" to describe the current situation in Zhao State, but he also understands that even so, he, the prince of Zhao State, can do very little.
"Father, the son is useless, and I can't share your worries. Zhao Ke said with red eyes.
Zhao Wei'e was slightly stunned, a little in a trance, and when he regained his composure, he said with a smile: "Being in his position, I have to do what I have to do, since I am the emperor of Zhao State, what I need to do now is to stabilize the situation of Zhao State, you are the crown prince, what you have to do is to make all preparations, if I really die, Zhao State still has you to carry." β
"Erchen can't carry it......" Zhao Ke sobbed.
Zhao Wei'e's face became serious for a moment.
"Who told you you you can't carry it?" Zhao Wei'e asked.
Zhao Ke snorted and said, "It's not who said that, but who didn't say that?" Although I am the crown prince of Zhao State, who really thinks that I can ascend to the throne in the future? The eldest brother, the second brother, every imperial brother, is more capable than me, in their opinion, I can live now because of the protection of your father, the emperor......
"Then do you think so yourself?" asked Zhao Wei'e.
Zhao Ke did not answer the question.
I don't know if it's because I'm speechless, or I don't dare to say it, or if I don't know the answer.
Zhao Wei'e stretched out his hand and pressed it on Zhao Ke's shoulder.
"What others say about you, in fact, you don't need to think about it, the key is, do you have hope for yourself, if you don't even think you can do it, then how can you expect others to have confidence in you?" asked Zhao Wei'e.
Zhao Ke nodded.
In fact, he wants to say that he understands the truth, and there is no shortage of sages in the books.
But the point is that it is not easy to implement.
"Don't wait until you have to, do what you want to do, you have to plan ahead. Zhao Wei'e said with a smile.
Zhao Ke thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand." β
"Do you really understand?" asked Zhao Wei'e.
"Actually, I also have my own henchmen!" Zhao Ke said with a smile, "Moreover, I am ready to win Qi Yuan's daughter." β
"Huh?" Zhao Wei was stunned, "Really?"
"Really. After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly.
"I still hope that my father will be perfected!" Zhao Ke said.
Zhao Wei'e stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Ke up from the ground.
"I heard that the daughter of the Qi Yuan family is not good-looking. Zhao Wei'e said with a smile, "I'm afraid your sacrifice is a bit big!"
Zhao Ke laughed, sat down, and said, "Father, do you also think that I want to win Qi Yuan's daughter, but I just want to get Qi Yuan's support in the government and the opposition?"
Zhao Wei'e was noncommittal.
In fact, Mo Ran had already given his answer.
"Actually, no. Zhao Ke said, "Qi Yuan's daughter looks ordinary, her figure is slightly fatter, but her personality is really good, smart and kind, and empathetic, she is very proficient in poetry and songs, and she has seen a lot of the art of war, and most importantly, she is still an immortal cultivator, although she only has the cultivation of a master, but I always feel that it is already very good to be able to enter the cultivation of a master at this age." β
Zhao Wei'e frowned and said, "If she is united with you, it is indeed a good thing, but have you ever thought that if she is ......?"
"Father is worried that she will kill me and become an empress like Wu Wutong herself?" Zhao Ke asked.
Zhao Wei'e didn't speak, but he did think so in his heart.
"If it were someone else, Erchen might have such worries, but I have known Qi Yuan's daughter for a long time, and I still know her temperament quite well, and ......," Zhao Ke said with a smile, "She also has a friendship for me." β
Zhao Wei'e suddenly realized.
"You and Qi Yuan's daughter have known each other for a long time?" Zhao Wei'e asked.
Zhao Ke nodded.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll talk to Qi Yuan later, anyway, there are still a few days, in these days, I will handle your marriage, how about it?" Zhao Wei'e asked.
Zhao Ke smiled and said, "Thank you, father." β
Zhao Wei'e waved his hand and said: "As long as you think it's okay, it's okay, maybe I won't be able to help you in the future, everything has to be done by yourself, the road ahead, you have to go by yourself, these days, if you need me to help you do, just say, I will help you pave the road that can help you." β
Zhao Ke laughed but didn't speak.
Zhao Wei'e raised his eyebrows and said, "For example, a few imperial brothers who are a big threat to you, do you want me to help you get rid of them directly?"
Zhao Ke shook his head.
"Father, you are not Xuanyuan Jiuzhong, even if I really nod your head, you can't do it, it is estimated that most of them are also testing me, the reason why I broke it, instead of choosing to push the boat down the river, is because I am calm in my heart, in my opinion, if the royal brother and so on I can't deal with it, really give me the power of Zhao State, I still have to be the king of the dead country, fortunately it is like that, it is better to let me die in their hands, they all say that the royal battle is bloody and cruel, but in my opinion, there is nothing that cannot be entered, the strong is the king, put a group of insects in the basket, who can live to the end who will be the king, there is nothing wrongγ Zhao Ke said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Zhao Wei'e was a little surprised.
"Do you really think so?" asked Zhao Wei'e.
Zhao Ke laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you think so, at least it's right." β
Zhao Wei'e nodded, suddenly relieved.
"If you have a son, you have no regrets. Zhao Wei'e laughed, "I originally thought that if I left, I wouldn't be able to come back, and the Zhao Kingdom would collapse, but now with you, I always feel a lot more steady." β
Zhao Ke suddenly couldn't cry.
Zhao Wei'e reached out and stroked his head.
"What are you crying about?" Zhao Wei'e's voice was very soft.
"Father, is it really dangerous?" Zhao Ke asked, pressing his hands on his knees.
"Maybe. Zhao Wei'e said, "Win or lose." β
"Is it really Xiao Yao?" said Zhao Ke.
Zhao Wei'e nodded.
Zhao Ke rubbed his astringent eyes and said, "Father, if you really lose, I will not help you avenge, I will directly withdraw my troops to protect my Zhao Kingdom." β
Zhao Wei'e did not speak.
Zhao Ke said: "This is what I think, if you think, I have no ambition, no ambition, this prince, I don't want it." β
"Do you think you're not Xiao Yao's opponent?" asked Zhao Wei'e.
Zhao Ke shook his head.
"I didn't think that I had to stand on the opposite side of him, and I don't think that standing on the opposite side of him is such a high-spirited thing, I always feel that whether it is Xuanyuan Jiuzhong or you, there are too many ideas, it is very tiring to live like this, and the people of Zhao are also very tired to live, if I really become the emperor of Zhao State, I only hope that the upper and lower countries are peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain are smooth, this Lingwu world is too big, I can't swallow it, and Zhao Guo can't swallow it, even if it is Xuanyuan Jiuzhong and his Great Qin Dynasty, they can't swallow it either, they have too many ideas, and they will only let themselves fall into a state of exhaustionβ¦β¦β
When Zhao Ke said this, he stopped and looked at Zhao Wei's expression.
He originally thought that after he said these words, Zhao Wei'e would be furious, but the other party still had a calm expression, which made him a little unpredictable.
He continued: "Becoming the emperor of Zhao is not only for himself to live, but also for the people of Zhao, as long as they live well, how big the territory of Zhao is is actually not so important......
"You can't become an emperor through the ages!" Zhao Wei'e said.
Zhao Ke lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"However, he can't become the king of the dead country. Zhao Wei'e laughed and said, "If you really become the emperor, I'm afraid that you will be buried in the dust for a long time, and what should happen to Zhao Guo is all your business, and it has nothing to do with me." β
With that, he stood up and turned to leave.
Zhao Ke wiped his tears and sighed.
"It's a chore to be an emperor...... he whispered.
