Self-ruthlessness is better than affection (16)
"Father, can you go inside and talk about it?" After the two of them left, Xia Yuan was still a little worried about whether he would be heard by others.
Xia Huai took Xia Yuan around the bookshelf behind the desk in the imperial study, and there was a soft couch behind it, only when he was tired of staying in the imperial study on weekdays, Xia Huai would rest here.
He took the lead on the side of the soft couch, and then beckoned Xia Yuan to sit beside him.
After Xia Yuan sat down, Xia Huai still took the lead in speaking: "Xiao Yuan, what do you want to tell me so alone?" ”
Xia Yuan thought about it, and decided to tell the emperor about these things: "Prince Rong is my friend. ”
After Xia Huai listened, the expression on his face was exactly the same as Xia Yuan expected: unbelievable.
I don't know why, when Xia Huai and Xia Yuan are alone, they can always let go of their guard in a high position on weekdays, perhaps because of their blood relatives and similar personalities, among their three princes, Xia Huai is the most willing to be close to Xia Yuan.
"This ...... How so? The king of the northwest is not a wolf ambition, and now he is still at war with the Central Plains, Xiao Yuan, how can you ......"
"Father, don't you think it's strange? Why did the news of the capture of the Three Cities come from the northwest, and there has been no news about the state of the battle? ”
"Could it be for ......" Xia Huai suddenly seemed to realize something, and an idea was about to come out of his mind.
"What is the capture of the three cities, the northwest wants to start a war with the Central Plains, all of this is fake, but it is just to let the imperial brother show his feet faster."
"So you asked the King of the Northwest to capture Yi'er?"
"That's right, I knew from the beginning that the imperial brother has been so good to Ah Chi since he was a child, in order to one day frame him, on the surface it is to protect, but in fact, it is to have someone to block the arrow for himself when something happens, and the kidnapping of me is planned by the imperial brother, blaming the Riyao Sect and buying off the old slave, this is all part of the imperial brother's plan, after the imperial brother hears the news that I am not dead, he will definitely panic, worried that I will threaten his position, and can't wait to find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to consolidate his positionAt that time, it happened that Prince Rong happened to come to the Central Plains, so I thought of this method, let the prince pretend to start a war with the Central Plains, but in fact, he only needed to control the imperial brother in the northwest. ”
"But why did you do this, Xiao Yuan?"
Xia Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Xia Huai, his eyes were full of smiles: "If you are the father emperor, if there is an imperial brother who wants to take away everything you have, and who is still planning to assassinate you, and hinders you everywhere, what will you do?" ”
Xia Huai thought for a while and said, "Get rid of it." ”
"You see, you think so, so why bother asking me why?"
Xia Huai looked at this face with eyebrows and eyes similar to his own, and felt more and more that the current Xia Yuan, after experiencing this incident, seemed to have faded away from his former weakness and gentleness, and completely changed as a person.
It's really getting more and more like me.
Xia Huai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even the change of personality is really getting closer and closer, the same was bullied by the royal people since he was a child but didn't dare to tell others, and then every day he survived, he had to worry about whether there would be a new wave of assassinations tomorrow, and if he wanted to survive, he could only take the initiative to get rid of all the people who threatened him.
"Xiao Yuan, as a father, I don't think what you did was right, but as the emperor, I have to say that I admire your ideas." Xia Yuan didn't notice what Xia Huai started with, and when he spoke to him, he didn't continue to use the self-title "I".
He didn't continue to answer, just looked out the window on the side, Father, if it takes a while, you shouldn't feel like that.
