"Yuebai, this kid is good, if he wants to live in your house, let him live. You are the future emperor of Great Wei, he is the future young master of the Yue clan, and the two of you are good friends, both for the court and for the Yue clan. ”

The emperor summoned Ji Xuan in the Warm Pavilion and learned that Ji Xuan also had something to tell, so he let him open his mouth first. When the emperor heard that Yue Bai was going to move from the royal post house to the palace of the king of Qi, he agreed without thinking about it.

The emperor has always looked good when he woke up this time, and now he has decided on the candidate for the crown prince, but he is the most concerned thing in his heart, and the whole person is even more energetic.

Seeing that the emperor had shown his father's love to him, Ji Xuan took a deep look and replied softly, "Yes." ”

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Ji Xuan to sit opposite him, and after watching Ji Xuan sit down, the emperor said: "The Yue clan is related to the safety of the southwest border, although they are vassals and pay tribute to the imperial court every year, but it is only symbolic, and the imperial court gives them money and materials back. Yue's big toast has a great appetite, although I have never met this person, but judging from his past style, this person is not at ease to be just a Yue's big toast. The reason why the Yue clan abandoned the Western Zhou Dynasty and returned to my Great Wei was not only because my Great Wei was strong at that time, but also because the Yue clan wanted to establish themselves as kings, but the Western Zhou Dynasty did not agree to them, and they rebelled in anger after the two sides fell out. ”

Ji Xuan asked, "Did the Yue clan also propose to establish himself as the king after he surrendered to my Great Wei?"

The emperor said, "Not really. This is also the cleverness of the Yue clan's great toast, he knew that the imperial court would not agree to such a request, so he simply never revealed such an idea to the imperial court. Based on the importance of the Yue clan to the west, and seeing that the Yue clan did not have any thoughts of non-division after returning, it was sincere to enter our Great Wei, so it rewarded them with a lot of money every year to show the favor of the imperial court. These money were nothing when our Great Wei was strong, but after ten thousand difficulties, Great Wei suffered a heavy blow, if it were not for the mutual suspicion of neighboring countries, and we did not know much about our real national strength, I am afraid that our Great Wei would not be able to support today. ”

Ji Xuan said: "Erchen should do his best to revive my Great Wei national strength in the future. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "You have been away from the court for so many years, to be honest, my father really didn't plan to entrust the Great Wei to you." Whether it is in the order of succession to the throne or according to the ability to govern the country, this throne should belong to your second imperial brother. ”

Ji Xuan said: "Erchen understands, and he also understands his father. ”

The emperor was very relieved to see Ji Xuan say this, and continued: "But who knows that your second emperor brother seems to have changed in the past few years, and the entire court has been in a miasma behind my back, and he is close to the villain and far from the virtuous minister, and he also said that loyalty is more important than ability, if this country is really handed over to him, I am afraid that it will not take long for him to be defeated." ”

Ji Xuan said: "What the second emperor brother said has some truth, loyal ministers are the foundation of the country. ”

The emperor said angrily: "He is quibbling! The loyalty he said is loyalty to himself, not to the court." Those people were loyal to him rather than flattering him. They all thought that he was the future emperor, and he was not slapping the horse in order to seek greater power for himself in the future. Moreover, a faithful person must also be a talented person, and if this person has no ink and no talent, no matter how faithful he is, it will be in vain. ”

Ji Xuan said: "What my father said is extremely true. ”

The emperor sighed and continued: "I really can't understand the change of your second emperor brother. It stands to reason that he should know that this throne is hiss sooner or later, and he should cherish it, but not only does he not cherish it, but he also wants to destroy the country left by his ancestors with his own hands. ”

Ji Xuan said: "This son doesn't understand either. Maybe only the second emperor brother himself understands. ”

The Emperor said, "I don't think he understands himself, how could he do such a thing if he did?" but fortunately I still have you, and fortunately the innocent son taught you so well. ”

As he spoke, the emperor looked at Ji Xuan with joy on his face, his eyes full of his father's kindness.

Ji Xuan got up, knelt down, and said, "Thank you, father!"

The Emperor said, "Get up." ”

After Ji Xuan got up and sat down again, the Emperor continued: "I really should thank the Innocent Son, he not only saved the lives of our father and son, but also taught me such an excellent son. When everything is stable, you send someone to invite him to the capital, and I will thank him in person. It's been so many years, and I really miss him. ”

Ji Xuan said: "Erchen obeys. ”

The emperor looked at Ji Xuan, and after a long time, he said: "Father knows that your ambition is not here, but you want to fight the sword rivers and lakes and be a chivalrous hero." This is also the ambition of my father when he was young, if it weren't for the difficulty of everything, the royal family would wither, and my father would have traveled the rivers and lakes with your master. But who let us be born in the royal family? The royal family is in trouble, and it is our duty as royal descendants. ”

Ji Xuan said: "Erchen really didn't think about going back to Beijing to compete for the throne, even if his father invited Erchen back, Erchen didn't think about competing with the second emperor's brother. However, I went out for disaster relief a year ago, and I saw many things, and finally made up my mind to fight with the second emperor brother. The purpose of riding horses and rivers and lakes is to promote good and punish evil, and save the people from fire and water. Now the entire imperial court has been terminally ill, and the people of Li have fallen into fire and water, if we want to cure it radically, we must eradicate the traitors, reuse the virtuous, humbly accept advice, make great efforts to govern the country, and enhance the national strength, so as to achieve political clarity and restore peace in the world. ”

After listening to what Ji Xuan said, the emperor's face was overjoyed, full of praise.

"Not bad, not bad. As a monarch, one person holds great power alone, and should judge the situation, make the best use of things, make the best use of people, have a wide heart to accommodate the world, and have a wide mind to accommodate all rivers, pro-virtuous ministers, and far villains. It seems that the emperor is far better than his father imagined. The Great Wei Jiangshan is delivered to you, and the father can really rest assured. ”

This was the first time that Ji Xuan had revealed his thoughts in front of the emperor, and he was extremely happy to see the emperor's approval.

The emperor looked at Ji Xuan lovingly, and said after a long time: "In your opinion, how should you place your second imperial brother?"

Ji Xuan didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask him this question, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Erchen thought that he should set aside a fief for the second emperor brother and keep him away from the court. The father also knew that the second emperor's brother had been in charge of his father's government for many years, and seven out of ten people in the Manchu Dynasty had civil and military attached, and if he continued to stay in the capital to participate in the government, it would be extremely unfavorable to the next political innovation. ”

The emperor nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "You know the difficulty of all things, this turmoil that brought great disasters to the Great Wei was initiated by a vassal king, who recruited troops and horses in his fiefdom to increase his strength, and then launched a rebellion. Your second brother is already dissatisfied with you being the crown prince, and if you let him have his own fiefdom, his father is worried that he will have different intentions. ”

Ji Xuan said: "Then let him stay in the capital." ”

The emperor said: "Of course, you have to keep him in the capital, under your nose." After you are crowned prince, your father will issue an order to make him an idle prince and not allow him to participate in court politics again, so that it will not bring trouble to your future governance. ”

Ji Xuan knelt down and bowed, "Thank you for your father's thoughtfulness for your son." ”

"Get up. The emperor watched Ji Xuan sit down again, and continued: "Our Great Wei really can't stand the toss, and my father doesn't want the Great Wei to be destroyed in the hands of our father and son. My father's body is not as good as day by day, and he may never wake up again when he sleeps. ”

Ji Xuan said: "When my master comes, let him take a good look at it for his father." ”

The emperor shook his head and said, "If there is a way, your master will not not come to see his father for so many years." can live for so many years, my father is already very content, and now you are going to be made the crown prince, my father has no care, if you don't wake up, you won't wake up. ”

Seeing that the emperor said so calmly, Ji Xuan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

The emperor looked at Ji Xuan and said with a smile: "There is a certain number of birth, old age, sickness and death, and if you can't come, you don't have to be sad." ”

Ji Xuan said: "My father is suffering, and my sons are uneasy. ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Father, you don't have to worry about it here, but your second emperor brother, you still have to guard against him at all times, and when you ascend to the crown prince, he should die." However, it is still necessary to pay close attention to him in the future, and if there is a disagreement, you can not think of brotherhood. ”

The emperor's expression was extremely serious, his tone was extremely resolute, and the meaning of his words was also extremely obvious.

Ji Xuan said: "Father, rest assured, although the second emperor brother has done many outrageous things to his son, his son will remember the brotherly love and will not kill him at any time." Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
