"Father!" Xia Chengxuan stood beside the desk and shouted respectfully, but muttered in his heart, "My father has always talked to me rarely, but I don't know what is going on today, it's all too late, why do you send someone to call."

Xia Muchao was reading the folded book, and when he heard Xia Chengxuan shouting, he glanced up at his only son, smiled and said softly, "Here, sit down first." After speaking, his eyes quickly glanced over the folded book, and he put a few words at the end of the pen, that is, he put it aside. After the case was settled, Xia Chengxuan said, "How good have you gotten along with Yuanchen these days?"

"Nature is good. The child has no brothers since he was a child, and today he has been accompanied by far away from the dust, and I really feel very happy in my heart, I have nothing to say to him, and he also has everything to say to me, but I want to live with him every day, and love each other like brothers!" Xia Chengxuan didn't want his father to ask this question, but when he asked, he answered from the bottom of his heart.

"There are two more days before the Lantern Festival, and after the Lantern Festival, it will be the time for Hua Zijian to enter the school. Siyuan has already asked Yuanchen to study, and I have made comprehensive arrangements, and sent Siyuan to Huazijian on the 17th of the first month. Xia Muchao has not forgotten Mei Siyuan's entrustment, and has obtained admission qualifications in the name of Mei Yuanchen, the prince's son. Hua Zijian is different from Wuying University Hall and Dushi Lecture Wutang, and the admission qualifications are strict and abnormal, either the emperor's relatives and relatives, or the heirs of important ministers, or they are highly talented students with far-reaching scientific names. Anyone who can be qualified for the job can enter the court as an official, and thirty percent of the high-ranking officials in the court come from this, which can be seen. When Mei Siyuan was young, his father Mei Wanting was ranked first-class, and his own qualifications were also good.

"I'll go with me!" Xia Chengxuan said immediately when he heard that his brother-in-law friend was leaving the house to study.

Xia Muren listened to his son's words, looked at his description, his eyes were slightly red, and he sighed lightly, and said, "Xuan'er, you are my only son, and I should treat you differently from others after all." Thou art sixteen years old, and now thou hast told thee all things. ”

"Father, but please come on. Xia Chengxuan didn't know why his father's words had changed, but he felt that what his father was going to say was not trivial, so he immediately listened attentively.

"Twenty-five years ago, my father unexpectedly ascended the throne, but I never thought of it. Half a year later, the third brother, Mu Yang, Mu Yan and I were named the prince, and my father was 17 years old at the time, which is not much older than you are now", Xia Muchao looked solemn and said eloquently, "My father is still obsessed with the art of Danqing alchemy since he was young, and he often resides in Taoist temples and does not return after many years. My mother and her daughters often don't close up, and my brother takes care of himself. Since the third brother is the eldest brother, he takes care of the three of us, and it can be said that he is meticulous. At that time, although the four of them were not the same mother, their mutual affection was as true as you were today. "Nowadays, the three kings are seizing the prince, and there are many battles in the open and secret, who in the court does not know? Xia Chengxuan really never thought that his father and the king had such an intimate accident many years ago. I heard Xia Muchao say, "Since my father ascended the throne, everything has not been as good as before. The ministers of the court and the central government had their own advice to their fathers: King Suren of Yi was the eldest son and should be the prince; the prince of Zhen could be the crown prince because he was good at his generals; and the king of Dahua was wise and could rule the country. So far, the three kings have been competing for the crown prince every time and they have not given in to each other. For more than 20 years, we have often fought against different parties, and protracted disputes have consumed national strength and hurt the fundamentals." Speaking of this, Xia Muchao's expression was gloomy, "How cruel it is to fight between brothers and sisters! If I don't want to fight, I really have to fight! I don't want offspring like me, after Yiyi was born, your mother and I agreed not to have children, and one son will be passed on to me. ”

Once upon a time, Xia Chengxuan thought many times, which of the other royal relatives and relatives belonged to the palace, which one was not a group of heirs, why was his family so thin? It was such a strange reason, and he looked at his father with awe at the moment.

"The battle for the throne will not happen overnight. If the king is good at martial arts, the world will take precautions against it; if the king is benevolent, the world will think that he is falsely benevolent; I am known for my wisdom, and everyone in the world will think of me. If you know what you are good at, you can try to control what you are good at, but how can you succeed in what you are planning? Xia Muchao looked at Xia Chengxuan meaningfully, as if he was summing up, as if he was alert, "Showing people to be weak and confusing people is just like you were in Ruiyun Tower that day, it's good." ”

"The child knows that he can't escape the eyes of his father", that day in Ruiyun Building, King Zhen went to invite Mei Siyuan in person, Xia Chengxuan asked loudly, it was indeed intentional.

"Xuan'er, the image of you and your father is like my rebirth, how can I not know you. Xia Muren chuckled, and then said in a straight voice, "You should know that Siyuan is the secretary of Anxian Salt Transportation, and I am trying to protect it, but you don't know why my father allowed me." ”

Born in the emperor's family, he has been immersed in political affairs for a long time, and Xia Chengxuan knows the stakes far more than ordinary people. It was Mei Siyuan, who was strongly recommended by his father, to go to Anxian Salt Transport, and Xia Chengxuan always thought that his father had made a plan to turn decay into a miracle, so that the difficult thing was done. "The child does not know. Xia Chengxuan replied.

"I made a solemn oath to my father that I would never think of ascending to the throne again in this life, and that no matter who the new king would be in the future, I would do everything I could to help him, and I made an oath as proof. At the expense of this. ”

"Father!" Xia Chengxuan's voice was rapid, and his tone rose sharply.

"The three kings are fighting for each other, and it is very difficult for the father to see it, and I have said goodbye, how my father does not like it, this second grade of the political secretary naturally allowed me. Everyone in the world thinks that I want to fight for the throne, and I want to succeed, how difficult and dangerous, it is better to retreat. Xia Chengxuan was still trapped in all kinds of thoughts, and only vaguely Xia Muchao said, "I don't want to fight for the throne, and I don't mean that my son doesn't fight! What I want to tell you today is that the unfinished business for my father should be completed by you!"

"Boom~~~" These words were like five thunderbolts, which made Xia Chengxuan wake up in an instant, and looked up at his father blankly.

"You are the grandson of the emperor, when the opportunity comes, others have nothing to say, this is the first opportunity. You and I were born in the family of emperors, and there are many things that we can't help ourselves. Fortunately, my son is smart and talented, and he knows how to raise obscurity and show clumsiness since he was a child. It's not up to me to plan things, and it's not up to me to succeed, it's just you and my father and son who encourage each other!" Xia Muchao put his right hand on his beloved son's shoulder, looking at him, as if seeing himself.

Xia Chengxuan's thoughts could not be calmed down for a long time, his father's words lingered in his ears, words were like needles, thinking of the past, all kinds of future, for a while, the blood was agitated, and it was difficult to hold himself. I don't know how much my father loves me, and I always complain, but I'm really stupid. Since the son is so stubborn, the father is still planning such a big thing, and the son really doesn't know how to repay it. There is a father in the middle, only from today, from now on, I should do my best and plan, learn and then use! My father is my father, and now he is my teacher, please accept the three bows of my son!"
