"Huh...... Ay...... People often say, stand at thirty, do not be confused at forty, know the destiny of heaven at fifty, obey at sixty, and do what you want at seventy.

Today is my 60th birthday, and I am also the age of Ershun...... Now I am also full of children and grandchildren, and I am content, but it is a pity that the younger brother has not yet reached the age of not being confused...... Ay......

Looking at Zong Tong's dedication today, I inevitably have some bad feelings in my heart...... I don't know if my little brother is doing well over there.

It's been more than 20 years, and every time I see Zong Tong's child, my heart is ...... Hey...... "In the dead of night, the emperor remembered the little brother Zhenshan King who died on the battlefield for him, less than forty, even if he died young, he was inevitably a little embarrassed and depressed under the guilt.

"The emperor's ......" is happy today's birthday, but the emperor thinks of the king of Zhenshan, who has been away for more than 20 years, and the prince and prince are a little unsure of how to answer.

"Hey...... Every time in the dead of night, I miss him very much, maybe I'm really old......" The emperor laughed at himself, but his expression contained affection.

The prince knew how deep the brotherly relationship between the emperor and the king of Zhenshan was, and it was a bitter affection that could exchange lives for each other and not hesitate to do anything for each other.

Yao remembers that when the court situation was chaotic, it was the King of Zhenshan who took up the heavy burden in the army, supported the emperor, fought against internal and external turmoil, and maintained the stability of the country, which led to the current Chonghua prosperous era.

King Zhenshan is the emperor's most trusted and most relied on right-hand man, this country has half of him, in this way, the emperor has mentioned it to the prince more than once.

Yes, the prince often thinks in his heart, if the king of Zhenshan did not die of injury in that battle, then this world is a situation where the two brothers sit hand in hand, and that kind of honor is very much people think, but it is a pity that the king of Zhenshan is blessed and did not survive at that time.

At the beginning, when the news of King Zhenshan's death on the battlefield came, it was in the current dynasty, and the emperor, who had always been calm and resolute, looked at the Tang Bao in his hand and sat on the dragon chair, stunned in the court.

In the face of the concern and surprise of the Manchu civil and military, the emperor's grief and shock could not be suppressed, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and tears flowed down the trend, frightening the courtiers.

That was the first time that the prince saw the emperor crying, even in the later affairs of the eldest prince and the third prince, the emperor had never lost his temper like that.

That kind of despair, that kind of grief, that line of tears, the prince knew that the emperor at this moment was no longer the emperor, he was like any ordinary man who suddenly lost his loved ones, he was really in pain, and his heart was dripping blood.

It was also the first time that the emperor had not come out of the court, and the Manchu Dynasty was worried about it.

The emperor trapped himself for three days and three nights, in this palace of nourishing hearts, when the prince was guarding outside, if it wasn't for the news that the first queen brought the princess of Zhenshan to give birth, I am afraid that the emperor would not be able to come out so quickly.

King Zhenshan died on the battlefield, and the news came back, and Princess Zhenshan mourned and then gave birth.

The emperor was very nervous when he heard the news, and took the empress and a group of imperial doctors out of the palace in person.

Although Princess Zhenshan finally gave birth to a fetus, she lost too much blood, but she also went with King Zhenshan in one day.

In just a few days, his father and mother died, and Zhao Zongtong was born an orphan, which naturally made people feel distressed.

However, it is precisely because of this that the emperor is particularly fond of him, not only personally giving the emperor the prince's heir, but also raising him under the knees of the former queen, compared with the identity of the son-in-law, grace and favor.

Even after the death of the first empress a few years later, the emperor was reluctant to let him live alone, and he stayed by his side until he was in his early fourteens.

There are many princes in the palace, no one has such an honor, and no one can compare to Zhao Zongtong's status in the emperor's heart.

Because Zhao Zongtong is the only descendant of King Zhenshan, the emperor is naturally unwilling to let him have any danger, although he is brilliant in all aspects of civil and martial arts, but the emperor still thinks that he can live a peaceful life, which is complete.

It's just that the tiger father has no dogs, not to mention the person who was personally taught by the emperor.

Zhao Zongtong, who gradually reached his age, inherited the will of his father, King Zhenshan, and vowed to join the army to the death, and as soon as he went, he would go to the most difficult and desolate northwest camp.

To tell the truth, the emperor was excited for a moment about Zhao Zongtong's ambition, but he immediately vetoed it.

Not for anything else, just because as a person who has experienced bloody rain, the emperor knows what Zhao Zongtong needs to face when he is away from his side and goes to the northwest camp alone.

That kind of suffering, that kind of danger, that kind of uncertainty, the emperor didn't want Zhao Zongtong to experience it at all.

He is the only son of his most beloved little brother, and he will protect him no matter what, which he owes his little brother and swears by him.

What's more, after so many years of getting along day and night, he has already loved Zhao Zongtong as his own son, and has experienced the tragic deaths of his younger brother, Lou'er and Xuan'er, he really doesn't want to have that kind of grief experience again, so how could he agree to go to the northwest camp that is adjacent to the frontier and faces the danger of life and death.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zongtong, who has always been gentle and elegant, became extremely stubborn in this matter, asking for the emperor's consent for everything.

To tell the truth, the emperor really has the heart to do it, and he has never been so angry, but he is still helpless.

No one can shake Zhao Zongtong's determination, looking at his stubborn but resolute eyes, the emperor seems to see the appearance of the little brother again, although he is reluctant, but he finally compromised.

The prince still remembers that when he sent Zhao Zongtong to the north, the emperor's tearful eyes, that kind of reluctance made him can't help but have a sour nose.

At the beginning, when Zhao Zongtong left, the emperor couldn't eat or sleep, and he had to ask the prince to inquire about Zhao Zongtong's situation every day.

The northwest is separated by thousands of miles from Beijing, and the fastest news transmission takes seven or eight days, but the emperor is not at ease, so in the first year, an additional special line was added along the northwest to Beijing, just to let the emperor know the news of Zhao Zongtong every day and sleep peacefully.

has been in a panic for more than half a year, and the emperor got used to the days when Zhao Zongtong was not around.

However, what is gratifying is that General Zhao Zongtong is also really a good example, although he is a relative of the emperor and is favored by the emperor, he is not arrogant or impatient, and he lives a down-to-earth and serious life in the army.

For the first three years in the army, almost no one knew about his illustrious status.

He is like an ordinary soldier who eats and lives with other soldiers, shares joys and sorrows, goes to the battlefield together, goes through life and death, and has been sharpened from a white and green young man to a general who can take charge of himself.

Although he is still young, Zhao Zongtong does work hard enough, after more than dozens of battles, he has never been defeated, and in the past few years, he has been stunned to fight the surrounding small countries to keep to himself, and he is willing to be a minister at all ages, and the northwest is terrified of him.

Zhao Zongtong was brave and strategic, and he was stunned to break out of the world with his own ability, winning the support of all the soldiers, and the emperor was even more relieved and distressed when he saw it.

Because in him, the emperor really saw the heroic appearance of the king of Zhenshan back then.

This time the compromise, although it was distressing, did not make him regret it after all.

Therefore, when Zhao Zongtong reached the age of eighteen, the emperor tried his best to override public opinion and handed over the power of the army to Zhao Zongtong to take charge of it, placing high hopes on him.

And Zhao Zongtong did not insult the Zhenshan King Yingming, let alone disappoint the emperor, eight years in the army, he was stunned to train the northwest army into a tiger and wolf army, and the battlefield was invincible.

not only revived the majesty of his father King Zhenshan when he was in charge, but also faintly had the tendency of being better than the blue, and the courtiers were gradually convinced, which was also the origin of his title of general.

In the final analysis, in addition to the emperor's favor, the title of general, Zhao Zongtong is indeed well deserved.

"Your Majesty...... The slave knows that you are distressed again, but now that the general has grown up and has become a general with great achievements and fame, he is as heroic as the prince of Zhenshan, presumably the prince of Zhenshan can also feel at ease, so don't be too uncomfortable. After a few turns in his heart, the prince opened his mouth to persuade.

"Hey...... Zong Tong is the only son of the younger brother, and I am relieved to have such an achievement, but ...... He is also old, and he has not married for a long time, and there is always a pimple hanging in my heart, which is not satisfactory. "The emperor cares about Zhao Zongtong from the bottom of his heart.

"Oops...... Your Majesty, the general is most afraid that you will nag him about this, isn't this a Liu girl, they are also childhood sweethearts, and it is only a matter of time before they get married. "The prince knows that this is a piece of the emperor's heart.

"Hey...... Before, I wasn't in a hurry, and I wasn't worried, but now this girl from Liu Shilang's family, hey, ......" The emperor was a little eager to say something.

"Your Majesty, are you afraid that Liu Shilang's matter will implicate the general?" The prince speculated very wisely.

"In the end, there is no wind and no waves, Zong Tong is stubborn, if something really happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." The Emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty, are you afraid of the general's embarrassment?" The prince said again.

"Hey...... Liu Changxi is a good girl, but ...... Her father, hey...... Forget it, in a few days, find Zong Tong to come into the palace to talk, I can also explore his field, if it really doesn't work, I have to look for girls from other families for him. The emperor said worriedly.

"Yes, the minion understands." The prince received the order.

"Okay, I'm tired, help me in and rest......" The night was dark, and the emperor entered the cabinet to rest......
