Chapter 21: Father's Love
After the crown prince ceremony, Emperor Xiluan and Zhao Yuanxi were both edicted to the imperial palace, and Emperor Zhao Yi's health was still very poor, and he could only barely lie on the sickbed.
"The son visits his father." Zhao Yuanxi knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhao Yuanxi's concept of his father should be familiar and unfamiliar, he has known that his father is the emperor since he was a child, and he has no time to visit him, but every time he sees his father, he will be very happy and feel the father's love. Emperor Zhao Yi treats children gently in private, often cares about their daily life, food and clothing, and often rewards them with some items, this is the fatherly love that the emperor can do.
Zhao Yuanxi was still a little afraid of his father, because he was greedy to play with his mother's hairpin when he was a child, he escaped from the palace, and was caught by the brocade guards beside his father in the middle of the night. That was the moment when Zhao Yuanxi was most afraid of his father, and it was also the most precious memory of his life. This is a great reason why he is upright and does not like conspiracy.
Zhao Yi is also very familiar with his children, the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzhi is the most mature and stable, but he is thoughtful, cold and indifferent, and has what an emperor should have, so he made the eldest prince the crown prince; The second prince, Zhao Yuanli, had a perverse personality and was impulsive and domineering, but he did not have a bad heart, but he was exiled because he fell into the trap of Emperor Xiluan; The third prince, Zhao Yuanxi, is taciturn, doesn't like to associate with people, and does his own thing in his daily life, but he is an extremely upright person, and he is also Zhao Yi's most distressed child.
Zhao Yi is the most worried about the third prince Zhao Yuanxi, and he is the most reluctant to let his youngest son become the crown prince and become the future emperor, because the position of the emperor is like a blazing thorn, and the people on the throne may fall at any time, and no night can sleep peacefully, and he will always maintain sensitive vigilance.
"Get up, sit." Zhao Yi's face was pale, his lips were cracked, he was only forty-four years old, he was already full of gray hair, Zhao Yuanxi's childhood memory of his father was so handsome and chic, and now he is gone.
Zhao Yuanxi was very worried and said: "My father is recovering from his illness, and my sons must honor my father and share my father's worries." ”
Zhao Yi said: "This king has been asleep for twenty days, and the last time I met you should have been a month ago, I always feel that you have grown up this month." ”
Zhao Yuanxi replied: "In the days when my father was asleep, my sons were very worried, and the queen mother was also working hard for the country, so the children naturally had to grow up and could no longer be willful. ”
Zhao Yi saw the changes in Zhao Yuanxi, and felt a little distressed in his heart, and said, "Have you been wronged?" ”
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and replied: "Erchen has no grievances, but he feels that he is really useless, and now that he is the prince, he has no way to start." I don't know how to manage the country for my father, and my son still hopes that my father will build it as soon as possible, but my son is really worried. ”
Zhao Yi said: "You don't need to be afraid, worry, this king knows that you are an unruly child, last night I have summoned the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Soldiers Shilang, they are all the king's henchmen, in the future, they are also your henchmen, you can trust them." ”
Zhao Yuanxi replied: "Thank you for my father's arrangement, the minister is still afraid, afraid of sitting on the throne." The sons know how hard the people on the throne live, step by step. ”
Zhao Yi sighed and said, "This is your mission and your responsibility. Now that your eldest brother has died, and your second brother has been exiled to the Northern Regions, you are the only male in the royal family. ”
Zhao Yuanxi replied: "Yes, so even if Erchen is afraid, he will go up." ”
Zhao Yi said again: "This king feels that his time is running out, and he will try his best to help you take care of everything in the next few days." ”
Zhao Yuanxi was frightened and said, "Father will be fine, Grandma Mute will definitely be able to cure my father's illness." The father is nothing more than sad because of the death of his eldest brother, and there will be no big incident. My father's previous body was very good. ”
Zhao Yi said earnestly: "You are still simple, I am not sick, I am poisoned." Rest assured, this king will get rid of a future trouble for you today. ”
Zhao Yuanxi was a little stunned when he heard this, he vaguely guessed that the trouble that his father said was that person.
