As Rong Ci guessed, King Huainan has been physically and mentally exhausted by Gu You over the years, and he really can't hold on.

If he had seven points of affection for Gu You at the beginning, now these three points of affection have also been tossed for several years, and there is not much left, and there is only resentment and quarrels between the husband and wife.

As for the use, he has been married to Gu You for many years, but he can't change his fate by luck, but His Majesty's throne is getting more and more stable, and the people of Changping all over the world live in peace, and he is now an idle county king who is disgusted and burdened with crimes.

King Huainan suspected that it was the problem that his marriage with Gu You was not recognized, and in the eyes of the world, Gu You could only be regarded as his side room at best, not his main wife, the princess.

He had tried many times, but His Majesty and the clan were unwilling to accept Gu You, a woman with a bad reputation, as the princess, so they could only give up.

When he got here, the benefits were gone, the feelings were faded, Gu Youzhi was for him, and all that was left was boredom and torture.

And he is getting older, and he desperately wants children, after all, he doesn't want his grandfather's vein to be cut off from him, but Gu You can't give birth to himself, and he doesn't allow others to give birth to him, and he is also holding his breath in his heart.

Now that Gu You and Jiang Zeyun ran away and eloped, instead of being angry, he felt a sense of relief.

Looking for someone?

That's not going to go!

Within a few days, King Huainan went to the courtyard of the other women to give birth.

Emperor Tai'an saw that he didn't go to Gu You, so he knew that he was dead and wanted to be the emperor, but he didn't embarrass him, and not long after, after discussing with the Emperor Taishang and Concubine Shen, he appointed Concubine Shen as the princess.

At this point, after many years, Huainan Wangfu finally has its hostess.

It's just that the new Princess Huainan is also in her thirties, and in the early years, Concubine Shen only wanted her to serve her son, and didn't want her to give birth to an heir, just waiting for Shen Mingzhu to grow up to be a princess, so she ate bowl after bowl of cold avoidance soup, and now she wants to give birth, but there is no news at all.

In the end, it was a concubine in the palace who gave birth to a son for King Huainan, and so far, the Huainan Palace.

However, the life of King Huainan has not been smooth, when the Emperor Taishang died, he left a holy decree, saying that King Huainan was not filial, and ordered him to enter the imperial tomb to guard the tomb of Prince Zhaoming to atone for his sins.

Therefore, after the funeral of Emperor Taishang, King Huainan could only take the princess Shen to the imperial mausoleum, and he could only spend the rest of his life in the imperial mausoleum.

On the day of departure, Concubine Shen fainted from crying, but she couldn't leave her son and daughter-in-law.

The days of the imperial tomb were hard, and at the beginning, King Huainan was extremely resentful in his heart, feeling that the emperor was really vicious, and he was no longer a threat to the throne and refused to let him go.

He lived day after day in agony, he planned to pretend to be sick and return to the imperial city, and planned to escape, but he didn't get his wish.

He even thought about dying, and he didn't want to suffer these tortures and humiliations again, but when he started, he couldn't do it.

Three years later, Emperor Tai'an personally went to the imperial mausoleum to worship the emperor and met him.

"My father didn't kill you, just because I was ashamed, my uncle left early, if he took care of and taught your father and you more, you wouldn't be where you are today." The Emperor Taishang was dissatisfied with King Huainan, but he also felt guilty.

King Huainan sighed lightly: "Take care of the teaching? My father and I ended up like that, and didn't you ask for it? I am a stigma, I have a heart of disobedience, I have failed in rebellion, and I have been scolded by the world, only you are innocent, only we are wrong. ”

Emperor Tai'an shook his head: "Do you think that you have made a mistake, and it is just a problem that others have not taught well?" ”

Maybe the Emperor Taishang really didn't want the father and son of King Huainan to be too good, after all, if King Huainan's lineage was too good, it would be a great threat to their side.

It's just that he never thought of bringing people into the crooked, and King Huainan became what he is now, firstly because of his own ambitions, and secondly because of his parents.

It is precisely because of this that the Emperor Taishang will feel guilty.

King Huainan said: "You have today, and not all of them are taught by him, if there is no teaching from him, how can you be the wise king of the world, the benevolent and virtuous king of the world?" ”

"If he had taught me well, would I not be what I am today?"

When Emperor Tai'an saw him like this, he knew that he couldn't make sense, so he could only sigh: "In this game of life, time and life, you have a choice, but my father and I don't." ”

In the past, Prince Zhaoming died in Chongyang Pass, protecting the Li family for a long time, and finally the Li family won the world, but in the same way, when the young son of Prince Zhaoming died, the power of the Li family finally fell, and the King of Huainan and the throne passed by.

Later, the king of Huainan could choose to be the king of Huainan in peace, but they were unwilling and chose to embark on this road of competition.

Emperor Tai'an and Emperor Taishang have no choice, not to mention that they will not give up the throne in their hands, they have that kind of mind, if they give up, waiting for their descendants, there will be no good end.

To take a step back is to break bones, so they can't retreat.

Besides, Prince Zhaoming has meritorious service to Sheji, but the Emperor doesn't have it?

Most of the Li family's world was fought by him, and then he governed the mountains and rivers for 30 years, and 30 years of hard work was like a day, so that there was this Dongming Wanli rivers and mountains in the world.

"Don't have a choice?" King Huainan sneered, "If your grandfather hadn't died back then, would you be willing to be subservient and become a prince?" ”

"Naturally, it is willing." Emperor Tai'an smiled, "If my uncle hadn't died back then, my father would have been crowned a prince, and I, perhaps, would be the prince's son, my father has retired, I will be the prince, what's so bad about this?" ”

"Look at the current king, his today is probably mine, do you think you are having a bad time?"

"Being an emperor, where is it easy to be a prince, he just wants to stay with the princess, if he doesn't want to take a concubine, he won't accept it, if he doesn't want to have children, he won't have a good life, but there is no shortage of it."

"And my father, probably like Rong Lao Guogong, when he gets old, he retires and doesn't care about anything, and he is free to live as he pleases, what's so bad?"

"But as an emperor, I have to guard these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and I can't be idle all the time, and I often toss and turn at night, reflecting and thinking: Can I do okay with this emperor? Can you be worthy of your ancestors? Are you worthy of the people of the world? ”

"You only want the imperial power, you want this supreme status and throne, but you don't know that under this imperial power, the responsibility of these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers is on your shoulders."

"It's really as you wish, you become an emperor, and you can't be an emperor."

"If your heart is not still, you often go to your grandfather's tablet and kneel, and think about what he thought when he decided to die?"

"I guess, maybe it's for the Li family, for the sake of his wife and children, for the generals, and for the world, but there is no one for the throne."

"What you have done over the years, think about it carefully, but what is worthy of his old man?"

After Emperor Tai'an left, King Huainan knelt in front of the tablet of Prince Zhaoming.

There is a faint incense of Buddha in the house, and there is the sound of monks chanting, and all kinds of the past come to me from the depths of memory.

Those piles of things that are invisible, those white bones that paved the throne of the emperor for him, seem to be in front of him one by one.

It's all him... Is he all wrong?

His grandfather, in fact, didn't care about the throne at all, didn't care at all......

King Huainan thought about it, and suddenly tears slipped from his eyes......
