In the end, Li Wenhao slowly knelt on the ground, "Erchen privately thinks that the eldest brother is the most suitable candidate, and the younger brother is willing to do his best to assist the eldest brother and make a contribution to the Li family and the court." ”

At this moment, the court was stunned, and even the old man of the Wang family was impressed, and his eyes were full of admiration and appreciation for Li Wenhao, this decisive and upright mind is worthy of being Wenxi's only opponent, and it is also a respectable opponent.

Li Wenxi raised his head, his eyes were a little moist, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Father and emperor think twice, I am not as frank as the sixth brother, and my son is extremely ashamed."

The emperor raised his hand, "This matter is very important, let me discuss it later." ”

The emperor did not give a clear answer, but the relief and appreciation in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Retreat."

The prince sang the newspaper.

Subsequently, Li Wenhao and Li Wenxi were summoned to the imperial study to discuss matters, and at the same time, there were two old men of the Wang family and several important ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss the matter together.

Li Wenxi took the initiative to walk over and stand side by side with Li Wenhao, walked towards the imperial study, and asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”

Li Wenhao chuckled, "It's not why, it's just that I talked with Uncle Wang and my grandfather separately, which made me feel a lot more, and I have new ideas about the court and the Li family, I used to be unwilling and resentful, thinking that I could get justice if I got the throne, but in fact, I was too narrow and selfish."

The court's surname is Li, the people's stability is the most important thing, how can I impulsively decide the future because of my own selfishness, selfishness has limited my vision, and I have been in the court for a few days, but I found that I lack a lot. ”

Turning his head to him and speaking again: "I gave it to you, I didn't like it and threw it to you, it's not that I lost it to you." ”

Li Wenxi's eyes were complicated, and he wanted to ask him, do you know what you gave up?

I also feel that in fact, what he knows, better than himself, understands what he gave up, or in his heart, the throne of power at this moment is not so important to him, he has love and warmth in his heart, and he is different from the previous lone wolf, but it is also more open, warm and powerful.

"Sixth Brother ......"

Li Wenxi suddenly felt that he was not as good as his sixth brother, and this open-minded mentality was gone.

When he arrived at the study, the emperor asked again: "Brother Hao, why did you give up, I thought you would not give up." ”

"It's nothing, I gradually discovered that the most important thing is not power and throne, I found what I wanted, the most precious thing."

Li Wenhao didn't explain it very clearly, but his eyes were open and warm, calm and calm.

The emperor looked at this son, with some appreciation and some distress and admiration in his heart, and more pride and pride.

He does favor Li Wenxi, but as the emperor's future successor, Li Wenhao is undoubtedly among the candidates, second only to Li Wenxi's candidates. It's just that the focus and the tests are different.

Unexpectedly, he gave up first, just like the eighth and seventh brothers back then, so free and heroic, he made himself ashamed.

The eighth child only loves his wife, and he has done what his brothers and others will never be able to do, but he is happy all his life, and he is also ambitious in the court, no one dares to underestimate him, can you say that he is not successful enough to be a man and do things?

"Brother Hao, you are like the eighth child, it is really like, he also stood in front of his father like this back then, spread his hands and said, that chair is not very tempting to me, I like to fight, whoever is the emperor can do it, let me fight, I will be a knife for my brothers, keep it safe."

The emperor raised his right hand to cover his eyes, he was a little excited for a while, some feelings will always be buried in his heart, no matter how many years have passed, they have been hidden in his heart and have never gone away, and have always remained in his heart, which is a precious warmth.

None of the courtiers spoke, the status of the eighth prince in the court was very transcendent, in the face of the nonsense of the eighth prince, the emperor would be unconditionally tolerant, and the eighth prince used his life to guard the country for him, and never lived up to his trust.

This is also the reason why the eighth prince has only one son, and the perennial war has left him with a lot of injuries and affected the heirs.

"I praised me as a father."

Li Wenhao grinned like a child.

"I'm proud of you, I've always trusted you, I've never doubted you, never."

The emperor once again reiterated that he was sincere in giving his son military power, and he really did not doubt it, but the truth of the affairs of the court was true or false, and it could not be decided simply by whether it was right or not.

Li Wenhao's grandfather, Old Man Wang, also stood up and said with a smile: "Actually, let go of fame and fortune and simply think about the people, then the eldest prince is the most suitable person."

With the assistance of Prime Minister Wang Cheng, I believe that the future will get better and better, and the matter of the emperor and prince can indeed not be delayed any longer. ”

The Wang family also didn't expect that the first person to stand up for Li Wenxi was the one they had offended many times, which made Prime Minister Wang and his son a little ashamed.

Li Wenxi wiped his face, "Father, my son is in a very complicated mood at this time, in fact, when I was a child, I was very envious of my sixth brother, and I was also very jealous of him, he is really smart."

Whenever the Master taught him, he learned it, but I had to recite it again and again, and spend more effort to learn it to get your smile. ”

He didn't go on, the bitterness of growing up is not only Li Wenhao and Twelve, but he Li Wenxi also has a lot of bitterness.

The sixth brother has a wide range of interests, a wide range of hobbies, and solid learning, and is a real talent, but he is just low-key. But he read and studied day and night, learned the book of the king, and began to dabble in the court early, analyzing the pros and cons and so on.

He gave up his childhood and hobbies, was forced to give up love, gave up everything, and now he can get his wish, but he has an urge to cry.

Li Wenxi has not said a word, the emperor just glanced at him, and discussed with the courtiers, the position of the crown prince has been decided, but it needs to be unanimously approved by all the officials of the court, and finally it is announced to the world and then go to worship the sky.

I don't know when everyone finished discussing, Li Wenxi was not in a state, a little dazed, Li Wenhao patted him on the shoulder, sighed and left.

Only Li Wenxi and the emperor were left in the imperial study.

"Brother Xi."

The emperor had the heart to comfort his son, he understood how Brother Xi felt at this time, how similar their father and son were once upon a time.

I tried everything to get something, and when I got my hands on it, I realized that I had lost more, and that feeling of loss and confusion filled my heart, and I didn't know where to put it.

Li Wenxi suddenly covered his face and cried, since he was a child, he has lost too many things to be an outsider.

The most disappointed person standing here today is not Li Wenhao, he has everything, but he doesn't have the throne. He has a future in love, but on the other hand, he has lost too many things for the throne.

The emperor opened his mouth and said nothing, gain is directly proportional to loss, and it has always been like this since ancient times.

Li Wenxi cried and wiped away his tears, "Father, I won't let you down." ”

"Yes, I know."

The corners of the emperor's eyes were also a little shining, and he was destined to have someone to bear this burden and responsibility.
