Chu Zihou sang while playing, his affectionate singing voice with a deep and melodious tune made the whole piece full of a magnificent sense of time and space, unrestrained but showing strength, as if great sorrow and joy, a body of feelings, so that Emperor Guangzhao, who was listening, couldn't help but moisten his eyes, recalling his forty-two years of ups and downs.

The people of the country envy him, thinking that he is a beautiful woman, fame, fortune and power are all at his fingertips, and he enjoys the blessings of the master, and how many people really understand the pressure, anxiety and bitterness in his heart?

At present, in addition to Zhang Siguo's comprehensive national strength and Xi country, the other three countries are all big countries, especially the tribute country, and the territory is three times the size of the Xi country, so Emperor Guangzhao is worried about the people and rivers of the Xi country all day long, and even in his dreams, he often dreams of the sad scene of broken mountains and rivers and ruined people.

The monarch of a small country can only play the role of a man of few words on this continent, so not only has to live carefully with his tail between his legs, but also has to be vigilant against the invasion of strong enemies at all times, which is a feeling of unpleasantness.

After the song, Emperor Guangzhao looked at Chu Zihou with burning eyes and said, "Hou'er, I sometimes want to be a Linjiang Immortal who has nothing to do and is light." ”

Chu Zihou put down the qin and said respectfully towards Emperor Guangzhao: "Father and Emperor are eloquent and wise, and he governs the country well, and now he is in the prime of life, and his courage is extraordinary, and it is no problem to rule for another few decades." As for the transcendent life that my father envied, as long as my father wanted to, it would be realized one day. ”

"Really? As long as I think about it, can it really be realized? Emperor Guangzhao stretched out his hand to pick up the tea and took a sip, looking at Chu Zihou and asking, with a hint of curiosity on his face.

"Now is undoubtedly the golden age of my father, and the prince is also maturing, when one day, when you feel that it is time to hand over the country to him, you can be a Linjiang immortal with peace of mind, and at that time, the son is willing to accompany you often." Chu Zihou said.

Although Chu Zihou said his words well, these words were not very satisfactory to Emperor Guangzhao. Emperor Guangzhao knew that Chu Zihou was a smart man, so it was almost impossible to hear words from his mouth that would make people grasp the handle. Emperor Guangzhao was both pleased with this son and faintly disappointed.

"Hehe, yes, the prince is indeed maturing." Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile. Indeed, Chu Zican's talent and ability are obvious to all, and Emperor Guangzhao is also full of expectations for him.

It's just that he is always a little dissatisfied with Chu Zican.

"As for the northern Xinjiang, the sons and daughters must protect it wholeheartedly and never give up." Chu Zihou immediately knelt down and swore that saying this was half a sign of loyalty and half confidence, and it was also to let Emperor Guangzhao know that he had not evaded his responsibilities as a prince, and it could be regarded as a side answer to the question mentioned by Emperor Guangzhao earlier.

"Well, the northern Xinjiang is close to the Mao country, and the relationship between the Mao country and us has not been improved, so you need to be careful to deal with it."

"Erchen understands that Erchen will do his best, please rest assured."

"What is the number of soldiers in the north now?" Emperor Guangzhao was clear about the number of soldiers in each region, but he wanted to test Chu Zihou, so he asked.

"Back to my father, there are 23,500 of them, and after the New Year, the ministers plan to recruit another 3 to 5,000, and plan to set up two elite training camps." With that, Chu Zihou took out an application letter from his pocket and handed it to Emperor Guangzhao.

Emperor Guangzhao immediately showed the letter and saw that he wrote the specific plan in great detail and clearly, and the responsibilities were in place, so he was very pleased and immediately stamped and approved.

"Very well, you can do it, if the number of troops in the northern Xinjiang is not enough at that time, you can write to me, and I will help you deploy it from other places."

"That's great, thank you, Father!" Chu Zihou was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

"Hou'er, you will be twenty years old in two years, in our Xi country, a man should start a family at twenty, then I want to announce that you will return to Beijing to assist me, do you think it is good?"

"It's not a big problem on the child's side, but I'm afraid that my mother won't want to." Chu Zihou thought for a moment and then replied softly.

"I've let her stay with you for eighteen years, and now that you've grown up, how can you still be so willful as her? At that time, I will write to her and tell her that you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Okay."

"As the son of the king, how can you not help the country?" Emperor Guangzhao feigned anger.

"That's what my father said." Chu Zihou hurriedly responded. In fact, his father was worried about him, why didn't he understand? It's just that his mother once earnestly instructed him not to be strong in the palace, so he always carefully concealed his earnest concern for state affairs. Anyway, there are still two years to go, so let's promise my father first, and then discuss it with my mother when I go back.

Seeing that his son agreed, Emperor Guangzhao smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing that Emperor Guangzhao's expression improved, Chu Zihou immediately changed the topic: "Father, the son chose to enter Beijing from the road of Yunpo today, passing through a garden, but seeing that the garden is full of plum blossoms, the fragrance is strong, so it is not refreshing!" As he spoke, he observed Emperor Guangzhao's expression.

"And the plum garden in Yunpo? Well, it used to be the former emperor's vacation place, and later I gave it to Shen Zhihao, the former envoy of the festival. Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Chu Zihou immediately thought of something, and couldn't help but light up in his eyes. It is said that he sent troops with a serious illness and led the enemy army into the hinterland of the frontier alone, and was killed by the enemy's poisoned arrows, but gave our army the opportunity to copy it from the four breads, and finally was able to save a state.

Today, his two sons are serving in the Northern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, the eldest son Shen Xibin is the deputy protector, and the second son Shen Xicong is the Sima, and Chu Zihou also has occasional contact with them.

Although he had only a quick encounter with the woman, the contours of the woman's face were somewhat similar to theirs, so he speculated that she was most likely their own sister.

"I remember that the two sons of Shen Zhihao seem to be in your jurisdiction, right?" Emperor Guangzhao asked again.

"Exactly, they are all in the Metropolitan Protectorate, and they are all military geniuses." Chu Zihou hurriedly replied.

"Well, since it's a military genius, let's cultivate it, Xi Guo needs such a talent." Emperor Guangzhao was quite relieved to hear this, because he instructed.

"That's natural, since we talked about them, Erchen suddenly thought that both of them were stationed on the frontier all year round, and I don't know who else is at home."

"If I'm not mistaken, I think I have a mother and a sister."

Chu Zihou's eyes brightened.

"How?" Emperor Guangzhao looked at his face and asked with a smile. He rarely saw Chu Zihou have such a look.

"It's nothing, I'm happy for them, even if I don't have a father, at least I have a mother and a sister, it's good!" Chu Zihou hurriedly concealed his excitement and replied.

"Uh-huh, yes." Emperor Guangzhao nodded, covered his mouth and yawned.

"It's not too early, it's time for the sons to retire, and the father should rest early!" Chu Zihou hurriedly stood up.

"Okay, go ahead. Oh yes, Hou'er, this time you can stay a few more days before leaving. ”

"Good!" Chu Zihou pondered for a moment and then nodded and replied.

Chu Zihou was unprecedentedly willing to stay in the capital for a few more days this time, which made Emperor Guangzhao's mood happy.

"Then remember the last dynasty tomorrow." Emperor Guangzhao reminded with a smile.

"Okay, Erchen remembers, by the way, Father, can Erchen go to the library to read books these days?"

"Of course, you can go to any department in the palace if you want, but you can't mess with them." Emperor Guangzhao readily agreed.

"That's natural, thank you father, my son and grandson will retire!"

"Go ahead."

Chu Zihou then withdrew from Zichen Palace with the qin in his arms, and followed Gonggong Zhang back to his bedroom
