His beloved woman died during childbirth, and he raised his son alone. Before he was eight years old, the father and son slept in the same bed. He taught his son his talent and knowledge personally.
He poured all his love for his wife and his fatherly affection into him alone, hoping to give him all the best things.
Now, because of his negligence, his son had suffered so much, been misunderstood by the world, and even faced the possibility that he might only live to fifty. This was simply tearing at his heart!
Unfortunately, it was his other sons who brought him to this point. He wanted to kill them but couldn't, and he wanted to scold them but felt that it was useless.
Over the years, he has indeed been a little partial to his eldest son, but he has not neglected his other sons.
Invite the best teachers to teach them knowledge, find the best riding and archery masters to teach them riding and archery, marry them wives, grant them mansions, and arrange for them to gain experience in various departments of the court.
Could it be that they couldn't see what he did
Why are they only focusing on their big brother
Why are you only eyeing the position of crown prince and the throne
Xi Hanzhou was also somewhat moved, but for the sake of the future, he still hardened his heart.
"Father, I just want to live out the rest of my life in peace and quiet, and find a peaceful and quiet place with Qiao'er, where no one will disturb me anymore, and no one will do things that hurt our relationship as father and son, or as brothers, just because I am the crown prince and have your sincere love."
The emperor quickly dispelled his thoughts, "No, father will not disbelieve you."
"It's just a frame-up. How could Father trust those despicable and sinister villains?"
"Just sit in the inner hall and don't worry too much. Keep calm. I'll let Qiao girl accompany you and ask her to check your pulse."
"As for your marriage with her, do I agree? After this matter is over, I will ask the Imperial Observatory to choose a good date and grant you the marriage."
Xi Hanzhou was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, father, for helping me."
The emperor patted his shoulder and pulled him up. "You and I are father and son? There's no need to be so polite."
Ever since he recovered his memory, Xi Hanzhou's heart has always been shrouded in a layer of haze.
In addition to the hatred towards his brothers, the biggest reason was probably that he could not get over the fact that his father, whom he had always admired, treated him like that in the end.
But at this moment? The last trace of haze in his heart also disappeared.
"Father, I am satisfied that you have treated me with all your heart like an ordinary father and son for so many years. What else? I will not ask for anything else."
Not being a prince or an emperor? That’s no big deal. At most, he can wait until his father dies a hundred years later. He and Qiao’er will go overseas. Just like she said, they will find an island and rule the mountain as king.
The emperor shook his head with some relief: "My son is so smart, he is good at both literature and martial arts, and his talent is amazing. He is the best in every aspect. Apart from you, who else is qualified to sit on the throne of the crown prince?"
"You go in and sit down. Father will now deal with all those shameless people who have ulterior motives and dare to lay claim to the position of Crown Prince."
The father and son above were having a great time, expressing their love for each other, but the princes below were getting angrier and angrier as they listened.
The two leaders and deputy leaders of the imperial guards who had been bribed by the Fourth Prince were now extremely upset.
If they had known this would happen, they would not have done it even if they had been killed.
Su Qiao quietly pulled his sleeve, indicating that it was enough and to leave the battlefield to the emperor.
