Xuanyuan Chen looked at this son who was most suitable to be the emperor, stared at it for a long time, and finally sighed faintly:

"You are my most valued son, and you are also my son-in-law, since you were a child, you have been carefully taught by Taifu and strict with you, all in order to make you a qualified emperor"

"Erchen knows his father's good intentions, but Erchen has failed his father's expectations and disappointed his father," Xuanyuan Haoling said in a low voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, you didn't live up to my expectations, on the contrary, you are very good, which makes me quite proud" Xuanyuan Chen looked relieved.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Haoling raised his head in disbelief, his father, who had always been strict with him, praised himself for the first time.

Xuanyuan Hao Ling was stunned, a little unable to believe his ears.

Xuanyuan Chen saw Xuanyuan Haoling standing in place, as if ignoring his words, and he didn't feel angry in his heart, but just shook his head and sighed:

"It's a pity that you are too emotional, which is not a good thing for the emperor"

"Father, son, ......"

Before Xuanyuan Haoling finished speaking, Xuanyuan Chen continued to speak:

"You should know what I mean"

Xuanyuan Chen's face was serious, and when Xuanyuan Haoling saw this, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully:

"Yes"

"In some time, I will draw up a decree to abdicate, and then you will be the Lord of the North Star," Xuanyuan Chen said in a deep voice.

Xuanyuan Haoling, who was shocked, was in place, and the father meant that he was going to pass it on to himself?

Xuanyuan Haoling couldn't believe his ears, and suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said:

"Father, I'm afraid it's still difficult for my son to take on a big responsibility, please ask my father to take back his life"

"It's hard to be in charge? I know your skills, since I fell ill at the beginning of the year, and this Congress, you have been in charge. I am very satisfied with your performance and abilities, which is why I am telling you this in the Imperial Study today."

"Everything is blessed by the father, so the sons and daughters will successfully hold this Congress"

"Hehe, don't put gold on my face, I have been standing by and recuperating, recuperating with peace of mind, and I have never helped you for half a point" Xuanyuan Chen waved his hand.

"Father's ......"

"Okay, that's it, I've made up my mind, don't you understand the truth of your jokes?" Xuanyuan Chen deliberately kept a straight face.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Haoling had no choice but to respond respectfully:

"Yes, thank you father."

"Well, I'll tell you about this today, but the boss has always been at odds with you, you have to remember not to let the word I talked to you spread today" Xuanyuan Chen's face was serious.

"Yes, Erchen obeys" Xuanyuan Haoling nodded.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Chen couldn't help but sigh again:

"You are all my sons, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, I thought that I would have only five children in this life, and you should love each other. But I never thought that you and the boss had been at odds since childhood, and I had a headache when I looked at it."

"Erchen is guilty," Xuanyuan Haoling lowered his head and said.

"Alas, it's not all your fault, I know the boss's temperament, plus the ambitious concubine clan behind him, so I have always turned a blind eye to your open and secret fights"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Haoling lowered his head and was silent.

Xuanyuan Chen didn't care, but changed his face and said seriously:

"These days, you have dealt with all the big and small things in the DPRK and China, according to your opinion, what is the form of the DPRK and China now?"

When Xuanyuan Haoling heard this, he immediately raised his head and said:

"The court is now divided into two factions, one faction is dominated by the Taishi Mansion officials and Shangshu supporting the emperor's brother, the other is the prime minister and uncle supporting the sons, and there are also factions such as Xu Shangshu and others who remain neutral."

"Yes, your analysis is quite right" Xuanyuan Chen nodded.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Haoling secretly thought for a while and hesitated:

"Father, there is something I want to ask my father for advice"

"Say"

"Since my father fell ill, my sons have handled political affairs on my behalf. In the court, Taishi Liu and the Shangshu faction of the Ministry of Officials have repeatedly raised disagreement with the sons, but they ignore the opinions of the sons, and the sons want to ask their fathers how to deal with them?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen raised his head and laughed, stood up and walked to Xuanyuan Haoling's side and said:

"Don't ask me what to do, but what do you think I should do?"

"This ..... , According to the opinion of the ministers, the Taishi Mansion faction has been standing behind the eldest brother, and it is impossible to win it over, but to exert coercion" Xuanyuan Haoling said slowly.

"Yes, but as a prince, you can't make a big move, otherwise the courtiers will have objections to you, which is very unfavorable for your future succession."

"The son knows, so ask his father for advice, how should I deal with it?"

"Well, now the relationship between the court and the central Taishi Mansion is intertwined, and nearly half of the courtiers are protégés of Liu Taishi, and it is really difficult to eradicate dissidents" Xuanyuan Chen slowly paced in the hall with his hands in his hands.

"What the Father Emperor said is," Xuanyuan Haoling nodded.

Xuanyuan Chen walked back in front of Xuanyuan Haoling, raised his hand and patted Xuanyuan Haoling's shoulder and said:

"It's not easy, but it's not impossible"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Haoling's eyes suddenly lit up with a glimmer of light:

"Is what my father said true?"

Xuanyuan Chen nodded, and then said:

"Not bad"

"Then what is my father's plan?"

Xuanyuan Chen stared at this handsome and extraordinary son, and said in a deep voice:

"Marriage"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao's eyes widened, "Father, what do you say..... You said you want your sons to marry?"

"Yes, this is the best way" Xuanyuan Chen nodded.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Haoling secretly took a deep breath, and then lowered his head and said:

"I don't know which minister's daughter my father wants his son to marry?"

"Who do you think I will point to you?" asked Xuanyuan Chen rhetorically.

"Erchen doesn't know," Xuanyuan Haoling lowered his head and spoke in a respectful tone.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Chen paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to Xuanyuan Haoling:

"Now the most powerful people in the court are Prime Minister Shangguan Ran, Ding'an Hou Bai Qingyu, and Taishi Liu Chengxu. The prime minister has always been loyal to me, and he will assist you when you succeed to the throne."

"What the Father Emperor said is," Xuanyuan Haoling nodded.

"It's a pity that Shangguan Ran never married in his life, but it makes me sigh a lot! Otherwise, if he has a man and a half girl under his knees, the boy can also be your brother, and the girl I can refer to as your wife," Xuanyuan Chen sighed.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Haoling knew in his heart that his father had thought of the prime minister, and he had been infatuated with Yu Manman's mother Xu Wei all his life, but Xu Wei married Yu Xinxun, and then Shangguan Ran never married.

Xuanyuan Chen retracted his thoughts, and then said to Xuanyuan Haoling:

"Secondly, the only one you can do is your uncle, although he has always been on your side. But since you had an affair with Mu Ci's girl three years ago, he has more or less had a gap with you, and if you want him to support you, you can only marry Mu Ci's girl."

"Father, the son can't do it," Xuanyuan Hao knelt down fiercely.
