"We are also doing it for your own good..."
Xiao Yuchen has heard this since he was a child.
When I was a child, I didn't understand why those words "for his own good" made him feel so uncomfortable.
It even made him so angry.
Now he is "his father", a husband and a father.
He finally understood that the so-called "good for you" was often due to the fear and anxiety in those people's hearts that could not be resolved.
So wanting to reach out to others, grab others, and control others can help them regain a little false sense of security.
For example, right now, does the Empress Dowager really do her best?
It was just that she was afraid that he would leave the palace, and that Wen Jin's ambition would prompt her to usurp power and seize the throne, confirming the rumor of "Chicken Si Chen".
After all, on the answer sheets of the autumn examination, quite a few students have used wonderful writing and unparalleled logic to label this word as a false proposition.
The Empress Dowager was worried that Wen Jin had other intentions.
She was terrified and wanted to control his behavior.
So what is really good for him?
It was because he knew that he had made up his mind to lead the expedition himself.
Don't say depressing words, don't judge whether his decisions are wise or not, don't judge whether things that haven't happened are right or wrong.
Just think with him about the difficulties you may face.
How to be the most prepared.
Just like Wen Jin, she was good at medical skills, so she studied for him how to save the lives of wounded soldiers to the greatest extent and how to provide logistical medical care.
She had a flexible mind and figured out how to ensure that the soldiers had enough to eat and survive in difficult conditions.
She even thought of a longer term... to establish a food workshop specifically for the military...
Don't attack him, don't stop him with fear, don't kidnap him with family ties.
But support him, believe in him, help him...
This is true, from his standpoint, do it for his own good!
Xiao Yuchen took a deep breath and looked at his grandmother and his lost mother.
His heart was warmed by Wen Jin again.
What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?
"I still have something important to do. As my grandmother said, I will consider it carefully. Thank you very much for your advice." Xiao Yuchen stood up suddenly.
The Empress Dowager opened her mouth, "Then Your Majesty..."
Xiao Yuchen smiled and said, "You are not joking. I said in front of all the civil and military officials in the court that I wanted to lead the expedition myself. Firstly, it was to boost morale, and secondly, it was to seal the victory.
"If I go back on my promise, won't I push Daliang into a situation that is beyond redemption?
"As the king of a country, I can never make such a big mistake!"
Xiao Yuchen smiled, turned and left.
"Hey! After talking for a long time, I looked like I heard it, but in fact I didn't hear a word!"
The Empress Dowager patted the square table in annoyance.
"Don't be angry, mother..." Queen Mother Shu advised.
"Didn't you agree to work with the Aijia to persuade me? Why did you act like a gourd with its mouth cut off just now and remained silent?"
The Empress Dowager has grievances, and Empress Dowager Shu is a ready-made victim.
"Don't you know Chen'er's temper? The more you try to persuade him, the more stubborn he becomes. Even ten cows can't hold him back." Empress Dowager Shu chuckled, thinking very openly.
The Queen Mother sighed again...
"Don't worry too much, Queen. You have watched Yu'er grow up in the past few years. This child is smart and will not be manipulated by others."
Empress Dowager Shu's words can be regarded as persuading the Empress Dowager.
She nodded, and the anxious look on her face softened a lot.
"Ask someone to deliver a message to the East Palace, inviting the prince to have dinner at Ruixiang Palace."
…
The war is coming.
Even if it was necessary to conduct the expedition in person, not much time was wasted in the preparation stage.
From the time Xiao Yuchen gave the order to the time when the army was organized and set off, it took less than half a month.
When the emperor personally led the imperial army out of the city, the streets were empty and people worshiped him.
The common people learned that their noble Emperor, in order to boost morale, win a complete victory, and protect the prosperity and peace of Daliang, decided to stay away from the imperial city and this wealthy and comfortable home at all costs and hardships.
Instead, they have to march thousands of miles to meet the enemy.
They and officials reacted differently.
No one shouted or organized, but they all knelt down as soon as Xiao Yuchen's horse guard passed by.
In their mouths, the mountain called "Long live long live", and shouted even more, "May my Majesty Candidate the Triumph soon-"
There were even those with shallow tears who were moved to tears.
Not to mention the emperor, even those who have lived in the luxurious Kyoto for a long time do not want to leave the prosperous capital city.
How much determination and perseverance does the emperor have to have before he can leave his throne and go to the battlefield?
Comparing themselves with each other, they admired the current Emperor who was rumored to be "pecked by his henpeck".
Who said their emperor was not "manly"?
True manliness should be as gentle as water in front of his wife and children.
When a powerful enemy attacks, be resolute and fearless!
They sincerely hope that His Majesty the Emperor will have smooth sailing and return safely as soon as possible.
Not just because he conquered the world.
It's because they love him and respect him.
Xiao Yuchen rode a "red rabbit horse" and passed in front of his people with his head held high.
This was not his usual mount. This is Yu'er's favorite horse.
Ever since Yu'er knew that he was going to fight in person, she had always stared at him silently.
He thought that Yu'er was reluctant to let him go.
He asked. Yu'er just shook her head, "When I grow up, I want to be a man like my father!"
Xiao Yuchen originally thought that his son would blame him, so he left their mother, son and young Yue'er behind, and went to the border to fight.
Unexpectedly, Yu'er's eyes were full of admiration and love.
He was immediately moved and held his son tightly in his arms.
"My mother said, I am still too young, my sister has not grown up, and my father is not in Kyoto, so I have to shoulder the responsibility of the head of the family and the king of the country.
"So I can't follow my father to the border yet. But my wish is to be with my father.
"My favorite horse, the Red Rabbit Horse, is given to my father. I hope that he and my heart will join my father in the battle and triumph!"
Xiao Yuchen's heart feels warm. His wife and children are the greatest satisfaction in his life.
"drive--"
He drove his horse forward and looked back at the tall city gate tower.
His wife, his son, and his little daughter who was under one year old were standing on the high city gate tower looking at him.
They were far apart and he couldn't see their expressions clearly, but he seemed to be able to feel their burning and concerned gazes.
This is really good for him.
He was also sincerely willing to dedicate everything he had to them, including his life.
Xiao Yuchen raised his hand and waved towards the city gate.
He saw it!
He saw Wen Jin hugging Yue'er and she waved to him. She also held Yue'er's hand and waved to him.
He saw it, but gradually he couldn't see clearly.
Xiao Yuchen quickly turned around and took a deep breath.
He held his breath and suppressed the urge to heat his eyes.
"Jin'er, wait for me!"
Xiao Yuchen said silently in his heart, "I will return victoriously as soon as possible!"
When we parted, we were reluctant to leave each other.
We met again, but it happened urgently, quickly, and completely unexpectedly...
