"Father, is everything you said true? Can my son really fight for it?" Xiao Ran was full of expectations as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Emperor Xixuan knew that he had a heart disease at the moment, and if he hit him, it would be even more serious. He was silent for a while, and then said, "If you can win it, then it is yours, if you can't win it, then prove that it is not. It belongs to you, just let it be."
As the highest authority in the country, responsible for the rise and fall of the entire country, to create an environment for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and to defend against foreign enemies, I have to pay a lot more than ordinary people, and I only want to satisfy myself in private matters to make myself happy. He has enough energy to devote himself to the family and the world without distraction, so Emperor Xixuan doesn't think there is anything wrong with tyranny.
Moreover, there is no king's land under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the land.
The entire Xixuan belonged to their Xiao family, not to mention women.
As an emperor, he wants the wind and the rain to be the rain, and there is nothing he can't get. If Chu Qingyan is not Xiao Xu's fiancée, maybe he will betrothed to Xiao Ran with a stroke of his pen, his son He seldom asks him for anything, so if there is, he will satisfy him.
As long as you are in a high position, no one dares to question any of your decisions.
Those monarchs who have been infamous for thousands of years are just because he is not strong enough.
History has always been written by the victors.
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and he felt that what the father said made sense.
He suddenly became energetic, "Father, can you help my son?"
Emperor Xixuan looked at him, "What do you want your father to help you with?"
Xiao Ran sat up straight and said earnestly, "Erchen expressed her intentions to Qingyan a few days ago, but she rejected her, and she felt very uncomfortable at the time, but when she thought about it, it was probably because of her and the eldest brother. There is a marriage contract, she doesn't want to resist the decree, so she doesn't dare to agree to Erchen, so Erchen wants a chance to compete fairly."
Emperor Xixuan felt that this son was a little bold, but it was rare to see him so obsessed with one thing, and he couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of fair chance?"
Xiao Ran said without hesitation, "My son wants the royal father to break the marriage contract between Qingyan and the eldest brother. When she is not bound by the marriage contract, she will definitely be able to make the most sincere choice."
This answer made Emperor Xixuan, who was accustomed to big scenes, stunned. He didn't expect him to be so bold.
"Are you really sure that Chu girl doesn't like your eldest brother, isn't she trying to perfunctory you?" Emperor Xixuan felt that it was necessary to clarify this question.
Xiao Ran nodded solemnly, "Father, I think the first emperor treats Qingyan just like our younger brothers and sisters. When you ordered the marriage to the first emperor, Qingyan was only ten years old, and he had not yet reached the age of 10. The eldest brother is so many years older than her, and the two have no common language at all, and since the eldest brother has grown up, he has never heard of a girl's family that he is close to. It is rumored that he is addicted to fighting. If you are not close to women, I am afraid that you will be punished in the future if you are young and do not understand."
When Emperor Xixuan was listening to him, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't interrupt. After the younger son finished speaking, he still had a cold expression on his face.
Xiao Ran waited for a while, but when he didn't see any reaction from the father, he couldn't help saying, "Father, were you listening just now?"
Emperor Xixuan turned to look at him, his eyes were not as gentle as before. Although he was still kind, he asked cautiously, "Have you considered the consequences? What would you do if the girl Chu did not choose you in the end?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help thinking of every bit of getting along with Qingyan, and the worry on his face slowly turned firm, "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely impress Qingyan, don't you say that every time you do it? You have to go all out in everything, if you don't do it, it proves that you didn't work hard enough! Erchen will definitely try his best to marry Qingyan as your daughter-in-law. Erchen will tell you, Qingyan and Kyoto The girls here are different, she is very virtuous, well-behaved and sensible, and also very smart and funny, you will definitely like it when you meet her."
Although the eldest son did not praise Chu Qingyan the day before yesterday, he still expressed his affirmation of her in his words. Today, at the younger son's place, hearing such a tireless compliment, he couldn't help but be curious about the Chu Qingyan he saw at the palace banquet. , Although it is amazing and talented, but it is really so good that it can be favored by two sons at the same time
"Father, what are you thinking?"
Xiao Ran found that his father was distracted again, and he couldn't help but feel helpless in his words.
Emperor Xixuan lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at him condescendingly, "You have just receded from the high fever, and your body is still very weak. You should take good care of your illness first, and what you said just now, Father Royal Just listen to it first, wait for you to recover, then talk about it."
"Father Emperor—" Could it be that he said so much that he couldn't move Father Emperor? Xiao Ran leaned forward anxiously.
Emperor Xixuan couldn't bear to see his emotionally tortured appearance, but he couldn't give him an answer at this moment.
"Ran'er, the royal father gave you time to think about it, you can't just think about yourself, because that person is your eldest imperial brother, and the marriage contract was dissolved, both in public and private, and for your eldest brother, it is not a face. It's beautiful, and it's a big deal. You also have to take into account several parties in the court, the right prime minister standing behind you, and other forces. It's not a simple matter of two or three personnel. That's all the emperor said, you should take care of yourself. The emperor will see you again in a few days!"
After speaking, Emperor Xixuan turned around and left.
Xiao Ran looked at the figure of the father who left without hesitation, and suddenly felt a sense of isolation and helplessness. Could it be that the father is also standing on the side of the eldest brother? The father was not like this before, he would give him anything he wanted!
Xiao Ran lay down on the bed, and the whole person lost his spirits.
Emperor Xixuan did not return to the imperial study, but walked around the imperial garden with Cao Zhi.
"Cao Zhi, how long has it been since the two children of the royal family fought over a woman?"
When he reached the Baiyu Bridge, Emperor Xixuan spoke quietly.
Cao Zhi thought for a while and replied, "Kun King and King Xu were brothers because of the same woman. In the end, both of them were burned."
King Kun and King Xu are half-brothers of Emperor Taishang. Back then, Emperor Taishang wanted to be an idle prince and play around. However, Prince Kun and King Xu, the god of war, fought because of their crush on the same woman, which eventually led to a war. People die in battle at the same time, and the innocent Taishanghuang will be brought back to inherit the throne.
"Do you think the stories overlap inexplicably?" Emperor Xixuan asked coldly.
Cao Zhi replied with some trepidation, "It seems to be a bit similar to the situation of the fourth prince of the British King."
Emperor Xixuan snorted coldly, "Then you say, who should I give Chu Qingyan a betrothal betrothal to prevent history from repeating itself?"
