King Huai looked at the last words of King Wu in his hand, and couldn't say a word, and now he can't let his father know any unfavorable news.

King Wu is his father's favorite son to save money, if this news is sent, I am afraid that most of his father's life will be lost.

King Huai never regarded the brothers King Wu, King Shu, King Qi, and King Chu as his stumbling blocks and opponents, and since he was young, he wanted to leave the court and fight for a piece of heaven and earth.

Since he was a child, he has been accustomed to seeing the deceit in the palace, and such a day is not what he wants!

It wasn't until Wei Guogong explained the cause and effect to himself that King Huai knew his father's good intentions, and the death of his mother and sixth brother shocked his father and made him have better arrangements.

For these brothers, he is not close, nor does he have any disgust, after all, he went to the border when the princes were very young, and they are relatively strange to each other, and sometimes they don't even know what to say when they see each other.

Looking at the eldest son in front of him, Xining Shengshang didn't want to say too much, he would be the emperor in the future, and there were a few people who could listen to others, even if this person was his son.

"As for me, I have experienced the prince's seizure of the throne, and I also know the folk saying of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, but we are royal, and what you have in the future is the world, can't you tolerate a few people who are not used to it."

"You also know who killed your mother, the queen, and the sixth child, but what can I do, if killing can solve the problem, killing is enough, killing one, and another, this is an inevitable process, and you can't finish killing, unless you give up your position."

"Now, the King of Shu and the King of Qi are keeping to themselves, and the King of Wu is sick, I know you disdain it, but the King of Chu ......"

"If you let him guard the mausoleum for me for the first time, you agree, I can issue an edict, if you still think it's not good, I don't care, but I beg you, can you leave a queen for the king of Chu, he thinks it's a secret, in fact, where is the secret of the royal family."

"I don't want you to seal any prince or something, just put it in a random place, so that they can share the people's lives in peace! Anyway, they are all a family connected by blood, so it's better for you to treat them as if they don't exist! ”

King Huai looked at his father's earnest face, his heart softened, and he really didn't have anything to worry about letting them live.

"Father, I give you a guarantee, no matter what these brothers do to me, even if it is rebellion, I will leave them a life, and my son will do what he says, and he will never deceive."

"Hong'er, as long as you don't blame your father, you are familiar with the situation in the court, who can be used and who wants to use it, you decide. Foreigners are also your advantage, whether you fight or make peace, this emperor, I believe you will do better than me. ”

"In the court, Yu Gong is a person who does things, and he also wants to do things well, although he is not a poor man, but he has a deep understanding of the people's suffering, he has really thought a lot for the country and the society in the past few decades, and it is really difficult for him!"

"It's a pity that he's old and can't fight for a few days, I originally thought that he would toss first, you should also know that the entire court is full of people who think about their own interests, make a small move, these people are okay, barely cooperate, but once their core interests are touched, these people are the best if they don't cooperate, and they directly instigated the people in Shuzhou!"

"There are also those Shangshu, speaking of which are all cabinets, not to mention that the power is not important, but most of them are involved in the locality, the clan can't do without, the family can't live without it, little by little, many boxes trap them."

"Besides, these princes, which one can really think about the society, they want to be rich and noble, where will they pay attention to the court in the local area, will pay attention to me, the emperor who is nested in the capital, they talk much more effectively than me."

"There are so many princes, which one is not rich and monstrous, let's just say that Wei Guogong, he is still modest, and he did not do anything secretly, but there are at least tens of thousands of acres of fertile land near the capital and Yangzhou, where will those people know about the court and me, the emperor."

"Now the twilight in the court is too heavy, and the Great Xia has only been established for a hundred years, and it has reached such a situation! You are still young now, there is still time, don't go down my path, I have been fighting for this position for decades, and then I kept giving in and compromising for the sake of social stability, and to this point today, it is indeed my incompetence. ”

King Huai didn't know how to comfort the old man in front of him, who had run out of oil, but one thing he knew was that it was indeed not easy for his father.

It's not that he can't do it, it's that he has too many constraints, there are constant invasions from outside races, and serious internal strife, so that he, the patriarch, is constantly seeking balance in order to stabilize the country.

"Father, after these wars, millions of soldiers at the border can ensure the stability of the Great Xia and the people's livelihood, only the Jianghuai barren land reclamation has as many as one million mu, and now is trying to increase the production, Yuan Rui can already increase the rice output to six hundred catties per mu, as long as the grain is available, the population growth will also be rapid, and the Great Xia will become stronger and stronger."

Xining Shengshang smiled with satisfaction, closed his eyes, and two tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

King Huai watched his father fall asleep and quietly withdrew from the inner hall.

Looking at the stars in the sky, he couldn't help but muttered a few words in his heart, his younger brother has been weak and sick since he was a child, and how many hardships he has gone through, and now he is relieved.

I don't know which star in the sky is my younger brother, and I wish him good health and good life in another world.

Unconsciously, he came to a side hall on the edge of the inner hall, and when he saw many guards at the door, he realized that he had arrived at the side hall where the king of Chu had been closed.

The last time the King of Chu saw himself in the main hall, although he knew that the general trend had gone, he was still strong and arrogant, and he did not say a word of begging for mercy and explanation to the eldest brother of King Huai, and was later brought here directly.

Waving his hand to the saluting guards, King Huai walked into the side hall.

The dimly lit hall, with a candle only a few steps away, makes the night look particularly empty.

A low table, a candle, a glimmer of flame, a lonely figure.

King Huai stood a few steps away and looked at his younger brother who was sitting motionless behind the desk reading a book, and the expression on his face was very calm.

In just three days, the high-spirited King of Chu was gone, and the person in front of him was like a scholar in distress, a little haggard, but he was still full of arrogance, and his emaciated cheeks showed indifference.

"What books did Brother Wang read during this time?"

"Brother Wang is here, let's sit down and say, I want to raise my head when you stand, it's uncomfortable and rude!"

"You've read so many books, can you tell me what exactly Daxia needs?"

King Huai smiled and sat down directly on the ground in front of the low table.

"Brother Wang is here to teach me a lesson, I still feel ashamed!"

"Shameful? This afternoon, Brother Wu died in Huzhou, among these brothers, he is the most talented one, but it's a pity! Regretful! Or is it whose problem it is? ”

"He was born weak and sickly, and death is a relief, so it stands to reason that I should go and kowtow a few times before the spirit! Now it's here! ”

After speaking, the king of Chu turned around directly, looked at the direction of Huzhou and kowtowed a few times.

"Some time ago, I chatted with Yuan Rui and asked him curiously, he has done so many useful things, his knowledge is good, and the poetry is not said, if he becomes an official, he will benefit more people."

"But he didn't have much desire to be an official, I was very surprised, he told me that he wanted a very simple life, and he wanted his family to be healthy and prosperous. He also wants everyone around him to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Therefore, he made warm clothes so that the elderly and children would not be frozen in winter, and he improved the paddy fields so that he could collect more food so that the people would not suffer from hunger. He preferred a peaceful environment to save the people from war, so he improved the chariot so that the thorns did not dare to invade south. ”

"He calculated an account for me, and now in the entire Great Xia, fifty percent of the taxes are paid, and what the household department collects is only more than 100 catties per mu, just like that, the border army still can't eat, not to mention the people, one season's harvest is not enough."

"Wei Guogong told me that he is already trying, this season of rice he wants to exceed 600 catties per mu, do you know what it means for Daxia rice to produce 600 catties per mu! Do you know how many paddy fields there are in Great Xia and how much rice can be produced! ”

"It seems that you do not know! All you pay attention to are the so-called national events! ”

"I was thinking, shouldn't he make a bigger contribution to make Great Xia stronger? But after pondering it again, is there anything more useful than these so-called small things and ordinary things, no, I can't think of it! ”

"Today I'm thinking, Brother Wu Wang, he is smart and talented, but what has he done since he was a child, it is a fact that he is weak and sick, but it is not an excuse, isn't it even more sad to have a full stomach to learn but not do anything!"

"What about you, since you were a child, some people have praised you for being smart, diligent in thinking, and familiar with government affairs, so tell me, for so many years, what strategies have you come up with, what suggestions have you given, and who has gained what benefits!"

"Have you been to the border army? What do they eat? What to wear? How did they fight the enemy? What do they want? Have you thought about any of this? ”

"Let you be the emperor, what should I do if the people don't eat, what should I do if I encounter a disaster, and how to deal with foreign countries killing me! Do you want to rely on those ministers to help you out? ”

"I talked a lot today, my father is in the big hall on the side, no one is stopping you, you can go if you want, and it's a day to stay with you one more day."

"Xiao Qi, it's not that my brother looks down on you, I really don't worry about you fighting, I have been fighting at the border for more than ten years, I haven't seen any evil battles, and I almost met the king of Hades a few times. If it weren't for the people of Great Xia, I was afraid that you people would spoil this great river and mountain, I would rather fight to the death with foreign countries at the border!! ”

After speaking, King Huai got up and went straight away.
