"But that's out of your hands. ”

Although he couldn't see his son's expression clearly, King Qin could still feel his bewilderment and panic.

King Qin had never felt his son so attached to him as he did at this moment.

It's a pity that he can't be a loving father anymore.

His tone was suddenly serious and dignified:

"Shaotang, the emperor has rewritten the edict of the Zen throne, all this is irreversible, if you insist on not accepting, what kind of changes will happen, have you thought about it?"

"Since he can change you to me, he can naturally change it back......

"It can't be changed anymore. ”

King Qin interrupted him and blocked his son's back road tightly:

"When the edict was rewritten today, Taishi Xi and the king of Anxi County, as well as the important ministers of the court and the king of the clan, were all on one side - the throne is not a child's play, and there is no room for regret. ”

In the dark, Xiao Shaotang let go of King Qin's sleeve, and the aura around him suddenly cooled.

"You know it's a burden, but you want to throw it at me who is unprepared, father, in fact, I want to know, what are you looking for me for?"

As if he was choked by someone, Xiao Shaotang felt indescribably sad and tired, after returning to King Qin, this was the first time he began to reflect on his ups and downs in life.

"If you just want to find someone to inherit the fruits of your revenge, then you don't have to come back to me in the first place, you can just find someone to come back, why do you want to find me back, put all the pressure on me, and then abandon me like this?"

If he doesn't know his life experience and the tragic truth behind it for the rest of his life, he can be an ordinary child of the He family, chasing his dreams little by little, realizing his ambitions, and all the rights in this country have nothing to do with him.

But his origins were revealed, and he was recovered.

"I accepted the fate you gave me—you said we should avenge my mother, and I will avenge her, though I never knew what it was like to be in my mother's arms. You said that I should come to the capital to sharpen myself, so I came, although here I bent my knees to the emperor again and again, pretended to be stupid, and lived not like myself, I felt that it didn't matter. ”

"This way, all the hardships, I feel that it doesn't matter, who made me carry a sea of blood and hatred, this is my life, I was born to owe my mother, I should pay all my efforts for the day of revenge. ”

"But what about the result?"

Xiao Shaotang turned around and walked out of the door, and the voice of alienation instantly spread a deep gap between him and King Qin, and the warmth of accompanying each other before was gone:

"You threw the throne to me like this, and you didn't ask me if I wanted to, nor did you ask me if I could be a good emperor, as long as you wanted, so I had to accept it. ”

"In that case, I have nothing to say. ”

Xiao Shaotang opened the door and strode out, and when the cold wind outside rushed in, King Qin woke up like a dream.

But he didn't chase it out.

When the door was reopened, he smiled silently in the dark.

Lan Jun...... This is our son, will you be proud of him?

The throne that everyone wants, the supreme right in the world, but he is so rare, I gave it to him, but he is so angry.

Our son, so different, so sane and sober.

Power and status never carried him away.

I am so grateful that it was the He family who took him in, raised him, and let him grow up to be such a person.

King Qin felt very relieved.

He went back and sat down on the cold ground, and drank the liquor that his son had brought, feeling that he had no regrets in his heart.

When Bai Chenghuan opened his eyes, he felt that there was something empty around him.

It was very different from how she usually woke up.

She sat up suddenly, only to see that the curtain had been rolled up, and Xiao Shaotang was sitting neatly on the edge of the bed.

"You, when did you get up?"

Bai Chenghuan was thinking that he was sleeping more and more deeply, and he didn't even notice that he got up to go to the morning exercise, but found that Xiao Shaotang's breath was very wrong.

In the morning, at this time, he was always in good spirits, and he had never sat on the edge of the bed with his head hung down like this, and he looked cold at a glance with a chilling coldness.

And when he turned his head to look at her, Bai Chenghuan found that on his handsome face, there were reddish traces on his eyes, and his eyes were full of bloodshots, and even the smell of wine on his body came over.

"Xiao Shaotang, what's going on?"

She reached out to touch his shoulder, but he reached over first, hugged the quilt, wrapped her tightly and showed only one face outside, and then slowly fell on her shoulder, like a traveler who had been on a long journey, tired.

"Huanhuan, you're going to be a queen. ”

An inexplicable sentence instantly made Bai Chenghuan scratch his head:

"How can you be a queen? shouldn't it be, crown princess?"

When she became a queen, it would have been many years later.

"No, you don't have to be the crown princess, just be the queen. ”

Xiao Shaotang's deep voice was devoid of joy, even with deep exhaustion:

"Fortunately, you accompanied me to a high position, otherwise I would be so lonely...... Huanhuan, I really hate myself, why not be a willful person. ”

"I really want to leave, but in my more than ten years in Yuzhou, my father taught me day and night, he said, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible. I thought about it all night, I couldn't escape my father's words, and I was so sad in my heart. ”

Bai Chenghuan understood, this father is not the King of Qin, but the eldest master of the He family in Yuzhou.

The waves in Bai Chenghuan's heart gradually surged, and she had an almost impossible guess in her heart, but in the end she couldn't say it at this time.

"Xiao Shaotang, don't be sad, no matter what kind of road you are about to take, my children and I will accompany you...... Never let you go through the loneliness of the heights alone. ”

She stretched out her arms from the tightly wrapped brocade quilt and hugged him tightly, trying to melt away all the chill from him.

are all people who are at the mercy of fate, and they want to break free, but they find that they are always spinning in place, but fortunately, the two of them can still rely on each other.

When Mr. Yuan and Mr. Gu broke into the Qingfan Pavilion, King Qin had already cleaned up, except for some black blue under his eyelids, the rest was no different from yesterday's Qiyu Xuanang.

"Lord, you must not ......"

"I have made up my mind, and I can't change it. ”

King Qin's tone was more resolute than when he faced his own son last night.

"I thought you would come last night, but you're here now, and if you think about it, he'll figure it out. ”

"Lord Wang, think twice! His Royal Highness is by no means willing, and you, are you really at ease?"

Mr. Yuan knew Xiao Shaotang too well, and when he saw the face of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, he knew that it was not good, and immediately went to Mr. Gu to dissuade King Qin.

Mr. Gu, who had never spoken, knelt in front of King Qin with a long shirt:

"Lord, His Royal Highness the Prince is only eighteen years old this year, and with such a heavy burden handed over to His Royal Highness the Prince, can the prince really rest assured? The subjects of the world, how can they surrender? If His Royal Highness the Prince makes a mistake, won't the prince regret it?"

King Qin stretched out his hand to help Mr. Gu, his expression softened slightly, but his attitude was still resolute:

"If you don't feel at ease, as a parent, you can probably not rest assured until the day you close your eyes, but now you don't worry, ten years later, twenty years later, will I be able to rest assured?"

Mr. Gu wanted to say something, but King Qin grabbed his hand and said first:

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Yuan, the two of you have been with me for so many years, and I know all your concerns and worries, but today, please listen to me. ”

Mr. Yuan and Mr. Gu had to restrain their full words, and they both looked up at King Qin.

Seeing that they had calmed down, King Qin said:

"The reason why I took matters upon myself and didn't consult any of you is because I knew that you would all oppose it—but I thought about it, and I had already made a decision when Shaotang set off from the northwest and headed all the way east. ”

"I am his biological father, but he has grown up to this day, I have never put in the slightest effort, and all the results we have now are all achieved by him alone. ”

"His age doesn't matter, the important thing is that he can fully shoulder heavy responsibilities, can win the trust of his subordinates, and can fulfill all my expectations, so what am I worried about?"

Mr. Yuan followed Xiao Shaotang all the way, and he had no objection to King Qin's words, but Mr. Gu did not fully agree with these words:

"Lord, even if this is the case, what about the important ministers in the court? You ascended the throne of God, and your name is justified, but if you bypass you and His Royal Highness the Prince directly ascends the throne, will those courtiers be willing?"

"Courtiers, then tell me, who are the courtiers who can influence the matter of the Zen throne now?"

King Qin spread his hands to Mr. Gu:

"Taishi Xi only wants to save the emperor's life, and as for who his successor is, he is powerless. The rest, Weibei Houfu and Liangguo Mansion, must be happy to be the princess directly as the queen, the Zhenguo Mansion no longer exists, and the Anguo Mansion is a decoration. ”

"And for the king and the clan of Anxi, a young emperor is always easier to control than an old fellow like me—although they don't know that they will never be able to control my son, but they still hold on to this hope and are happy to see it happen. ”

"Therefore, I can let my son ascend to the throne of God once and for all at this time, why wait until more than ten years, or even decades later, when people's hearts are fluctuating and all parties are not aligned, and then let him face this sinister world?"

Mr. Gu had never heard King Qin say so many things at one time.

He raised his eyes and saw that what he was looking at was still the King of Qin, who had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, even if he was already charming in middle age, but his style and methods of acting were completely different.

Mr. Gu couldn't help but feel a little sad:

"Lord Wang, my subordinates never thought that they would come to this point today...... I'm your subordinate, not His Royal Highness, so don't you really, haven't you thought about us people?"

King Qin could fully understand the panic in his subordinates' hearts at the moment, smiled, and comforted:

"I know that your time with the Son is short, and I am afraid that he will leave you behind, but I know my son, and he is not like that. ”

"No, Lord Wang, the subordinates are not afraid of this, the subordinates are afraid, this ambition will eventually turn into dust!"

"I know, I know. ”

Recalling the past, King Qin was also quite moved:

"When I was at my worst, you followed me without hesitation, not for glory and wealth, nor for prosperity, but because of our friendship and the ambition in your hearts. ”

"But you really have to trust my son. ”

King Qin's face showed pride:

"He is an unusual person, and he will be an excellent emperor, and all your talents will never be buried-Mr. Gu, compared to the cannibalism of father and son for the throne in the history books, my son is enough to make me proud. ”

After speaking, King Qin straightened his robe and bowed deeply to Mr. Yuan and Mr. Gu:

"Many years ago, you can follow Xiao regardless of gains and losses, such a great grace, Xiao will never forget, in the future, please take care of my son, I will entrust him to you. ”

Mr. Gu wanted to say something, but Mr. Yuan reached out and grabbed him, closed his eyes and sighed, straightened his clothes, returned the salute, and seemed to accept this fact very calmly:

"Please rest assured that your subordinates will live up to the prince's trust. ”

When he walked out of King Qin's Qingfan Pavilion, a round of rising sun was rising in red on the horizon, and the ten thousand rays of light between heaven and earth were scattered, and the world was brilliant.

But the clouds in Mr. Gu's heart have accumulated into haze.

"Zhaoxian, you say, shouldn't we retire?"

Mr. Yuan glanced at Mr. Gu and sighed:

"You have been with the prince for the longest time, but you don't understand the prince's heart. ”

Mr. Gu was silent, obviously unconvinced.

Mr. Yuan said:

"As strategists, you and I figure out the most is the human heart, don't you know that once the human heart has what it wants to do, there is no time to take care of anything else. ”

"But the princess has passed away for many years, and now that the revenge has been avenged, it is time for the prince to let go of ......"

"I can't put it down. Mr. Yuan was straightforward.

"For so many years, the prince's heart is really bitter. If a person has been bitter for too long, he will no longer know what sweet tastes like, because that taste will never be there again. For example, you Gu Tianxiang, you are dignified, talented and good-looking, why do you want to be like me Yuan Zhaoxian, alone, lonely and old?"

As if someone had been poked at the dust of his heart for a long time, Mr. Gu fell silent, and his body was gradually haunted by a sad and lonely atmosphere.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Yuan's heart softened, but he didn't poke the scar through and patted him on the shoulder:

"Not everyone can go through ups and downs like Fu Han, and still have a good wife and concubine, and start over. People like us, don't think too much about the rest, or are you suitable to continue to work hard with His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you say?"

Mr. Gu's expression was still stubborn, and he exhaled softly, as if he couldn't stretch the depression in his heart, and brushed his sleeves away, leaving Mr. Yuan alone in place.

Mr. Yuan was not annoyed, smiled, and followed leisurely.

Outside the gate of King Qin's Mansion, Fang Handong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had already personally led the people from the Needle Work Bureau to the door.
