Zhu Di closed his mouth knowingly, and just gave a family salute to the father and son who were facing each other. However, he saw Grandpa Huang nodding towards him and walking forward with a complicated expression.
Zhu Di was a little confused, but he saw that the prince stopped in place and did not come forward. He even took his arm and walked into the rockery together to avoid being discovered by Prince Yan and his wife.
A question mark slowly appeared on the top of Zhu Di's head.
What are you doing?
Didn’t Grandpa Huang finish beating everyone? He won’t score twice again, right?
It can't be done. If that were the case, how could my father not persuade him?
Judging from the expression on the old man's face, he didn't look angry.
Zhu Di was puzzled. He stood close to his father and peeked at what was going on there.
King Yan cried so much that his ears were ringing. Such a brave and agile general did not even hear anyone approaching.
On the contrary, Princess Yan reacted quickly. She pinched her husband's arm first, then quickly lowered her head and whispered: "Your Majesty is here!"
King Yan came back to his senses and looked over with red eyes. At first he wanted to wipe his face, but when he raised his sleeves halfway, he put his hands down out of self-indulgence.
The old man can do whatever he wants.
King Yan thought, now that we have reached this stage, what else is there to be afraid of?
He helped his wife stand up and saluted the emperor together.
The emperor said a stiff "hmm" and then said to Princess Yan: "You go and talk to your mother, and we can have a few words."
Princess Yan felt a little uneasy. She carefully looked at the emperor's expression and felt that he was not here to seek bad luck.
King Yan said in a hoarse voice: "Go ahead, I'll pick you up later."
Princess Yan felt a little relieved, knelt down to bless her body, and then left.
For a while, only the emperor, Prince Yan and his son were left around, as well as the Donggong father and his son who were hiding in the rockery.
King Yan held a broken-pot mentality, holding his neck and never spoke, while the emperor hesitated on how to speak, and actually remained silent for a long time.
The father and son were relatively silent. After a long time, they finally spoke out together.
"Father, you came here to find me. What are your orders?"
"Fourth child, it's my father who has wronged you all these years..."
As soon as he said this, two of the four people were shocked.
King Yan was shocked.
As one of the eldest sons of the emperor, King Yan could only understand how stubborn and strong the emperor's character was.
How could such a person bow his head to his own son? !
Is this reasonable?
Zhu Dixin said of course this is fucking unreasonable! ! !
He was stunned on the spot!
Speaking of which, Zhu Di knew the emperor much better than King Yan. In the past, the only people who could tell the old man to bow his head and soften his attitude a little were his mother and his brother. When did King Yan also appear on the list? ? !
Beyond this shock, there was actually an extremely complicated jealousy.
People suffer from scarcity and inequality. The old man has so many sons, but he only favors the eldest brother - okay, the eldest brother is the eldest son, and his character and talent are outstanding. The brothers are convinced. The old man is more partial, I They were speechless.
But!
Why the hell do you prefer King Yan!
Why the hell do you favor the King Yan in front of you over this King Yan? !
Wucao, there is a shady secret! ! !
Zhu Di pulled his neck and shouted frantically into the space: "Dad! What's going on, dad?!"
Li Shimin: "..."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
The rest of the people in the space: "..."
#Iare different from you. I have already been my father’s crown prince. Is there anything else I can’t stand?#
Zhu Di was like a half-rotten lemon that had been stepped on, sputtering out acidic water.
Over there, King Yan was also stunned. He pursed his lips a few times and said in disbelief: "Dad, you just said..."
When the emperor said the previous sentence, the next one was actually simple.
He coughed dryly and continued: "Fourth brother, dad knows that you are wronged. You think dad is too partial to your eldest brother. Dad won't tell you lies. Among you brothers, I am indeed the most partial to him."
King Yan seemed to have a straight face, but in fact he said "hmm" nervously and nervously: "I know."
But at this moment, the emperor suddenly changed his tune: "But fourth child, in my father's heart, you are also a very important and good child!"
At this point, he sighed softly, pulled his son's sleeves, and sat down on the ground without paying attention to his regular clothes: "When you were young, your father was busy, and your mother took care of you more. When you are older, At this point, the general trend of the world has initially become clear."
"Your eldest brother is smart, stable, and has a good character. Asking him to inherit my position is a good thing for the world and the Huangfu family, and it is also a good thing for you."
The emperor said: "So there are some things. It's not that dad doesn't love you and can't see you. Dad is just...a little scared and doesn't dare to get too close to you. As it is now, you are brothers and are friendly, and the cause is fine. But if it's because of... Because of my unknownmodest preference, you brothers are at war with each other..."
"Okay, Dad, stop talking!"
King Yan interrupted his father's words with tears in his eyes: "I know. I wasn't jealous of my elder brother before. I was just, just a little bit..."
The emperor sighed and called out: "Silly boy. People's hearts are inherently crooked. Look at me favoring your elder brother so much. If you don't feel uncomfortable at all, wouldn't you be a saint? How can I be so virtuous? I can give birth to a saint son!"
"No matter what your heart is, no matter what you think in your heart, everything will ultimately come down to your actions. And what you have done over the years, is it not an example for all kings?"
King Yan burst into tears.
Seeing this, the emperor stroked the top of his head and said slowly: "Father knows that you are a good boy. I am not saying this to deceive you or to coax you."
"Lao Wu is like his mother. He has been good at reading and writing since he was a child. You are similar in age to him and are not as qualified as him in reading, but you are unwilling to admit defeat. If Lao Wu writes for one hour, you have to write for two hours. You must. You have to be as good as him, you have to be strong and have tenacity, dad knows that."
"A few years ago, my father was ill. Your eldest brother was in charge of the country and all the kings did not leave the palace. You and your wife prayed for me in the Buddhist hall every day. After that, when I recovered, you didn't say a word after entering the palace. Mention, but dad also knows your filial piety..."
When the emperor said this, he burst into tears: "Son, my father also cares about you, but as the old saying goes, parents who love their children must have far-reaching plans. If they care about you too much, they will let you If you have a quarrel with your eldest brother or your nephew, it will harm you!"
King Yan burst into tears and could not speak, so he could only kowtow repeatedly.
The emperor pulled several times, but failed to hold him back, so he moved his legs forward to block it. King Yan stopped when he saw this.
The emperor continued: "There is one thing that dad didn't plan to tell you before. But today, when we talked about it, dad also mentioned it."
"Just listen. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just don't ask anything."
King Yan heard the solemnity in his father's words and nodded in agreement with tears in his eyes.
The emperor held Prince Yan's hand with a rare kindness: "My position will be passed on to your eldest brother. In the future, a hundred years from now, your eldest brother will pass it on to Brother Ying if nothing else happens. .”
"But people are people. People who eat whole grains will not get sick without getting sick, and people will have headaches and brain fever, and they will feel faint. If future generations really do something stupid that will overthrow the country, Or maybe they are trying to kill you, so just start a fight anyway!"
The emperor's words were truly felt and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
What Brother Wen had confessed previously shocked him greatly, and what the kings, especially King Xiang and King Yan, endured made him even more heartbroken!
The fourth child, the son who most resembles him after the prince, was born with a bright and splendid nature, but such a proud and proud child was forced to pretend to be crazy and sleep in a pig pen to be a father. Knowing this, how embarrassing it is!
After hearing this, King Yan was horrified. He immediately stepped back on his knees and bowed to apologize: "Father, my son dare not——"
The emperor had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed his bun: "Wait a minute!"
"Huh?" King Yan was grabbed by the scruff of Destiny's neck: "Hey, hey, hey?!"
The emperor said: "I am not testing you, nor am I trying to beat you. I just want to tell you..."
He paused for a few moments, then softened his voice and continued: "In dad's opinion, you are a good boy who is as sensible and measured as your elder brother. If it really comes to that point in the future, dad won't It’s your fault.”
King Yan knelt on the ground in a daze.
He actually didn't quite understand why his father suddenly said such words without any clue.
But hidden in it, he could feel the love and care for him.
Somehow, it seemed that some kind of restraint had been lifted, and even his soul became relaxed.
"Dad," he choked and said, "Aren't you really lying to me? My eldest brother won't be a fool, and Brother Ying - Brother Ying is not like that either! Are you afraid of me? Using chicken feathers as an arrow, Will you rebel in the future?"
The emperor said: "How come? You are a good boy."
King Yan said again: "That's my eldest brother. Are you really willing to give up? After I die and go down there, you won't hit me, right?!"
The emperor smiled and replied: "No."
Some kind of intense emotion surged behind him, and King Yan couldn't say anything.
His nose was full of sourness, and he suddenly burst into tears!
The emperor disliked him very much: "Why are you crying again?!"
King Yan couldn't stop crying: "My, my scalp hurts so much, Dad, you pulled it too hard..."
The prince was hidden in the rockery, watching this scene with a gentle expression and a smile on his lips.
Zhu Di...
Zhu Di is going crazy!
What the hell!
The old man took the initiative to tell King Yan that if things changed, could he take his place? !
Those are his great eldest son and his great eldest grandson!
"So why on earth is he?!"
Zhu Di said angrily: "He got what I couldn't get, excuse me?!!!"
Li Yuanda couldn't help but say: "Judy is quite western-style and can also speak foreign languages."
Li Shimin folded his hands and ignored the matter, saying, "Yes, yes."
Zhu Di was furious: "Do any of you listen to what I'm saying? Is this really adapted from the real world? Why don't I believe it so much?"
Liu Che whistled and said slowly: "Young Judy, have you ever heard a story about a foreigner? A princess in the sea rescued a prince who was caught in a storm and sent him to the shore, but he was picked up by others. After a leak, the princess in the sea turned into bubbles and disappeared..."
