It was late at night, and I walked out of the Yangxin Palace and looked back and stared at the candlelight in the hall.

Yanxi bowed and sent it out. Ling Ye raised his hand gently and smiled, "No need to kneel down, wait for your father!"

Yanxi nodded and responded, watching Ling Ye leave.

Ling Ye walked on the imperial road, thinking about what his father had just said to him, and couldn't help but smile a gentle smile.

In my memory, the father is always high and majestic, and he rarely shows his emotions in front of others. But this time he is as friendly as a father from an ordinary family... He told himself vividly about his conversation with Li Zixin and their interactions. Li Zixin's "father" made his father very happy and excited, right? Otherwise, the father would not even be moved to tears.

Stop by the clear pond and look at the shimmering pool water. The scene that had just talked to the father reappeared in my mind again.

"Father, what do you think of Li Zixin?" Ling Ye tentatively said.

The emperor raised his eyes and a warm smile on his face: "Wisdom and cunning, perseverance and decisiveness!"

"The father knows Li Zixin very well!" Ling Ye smiled and said, "The father should know his ambitions. If he is not the father's son or Ye'er's brother, then for the sake of Xuanguo and for the sake of the emperor, Ye'er is willing to fight with him. But now... Ye'er doesn't want to fight with him!"

The emperor was silent, his eyes shining brightly. He looked at Ling Ye and said, "I know what you think. Ye'er, if it were in the past, I would definitely force you. Regardless of whether you want it or not, I would hand over Xuanguo to your hands, just because the only person I want is you. But last time, when I saw Xiao Wei playing the violin, I suddenly remembered your mother. If I had not ascended the throne back then, Piao Xue was not trapped in this red wall and high tiles, would our lives be different? Piao Xue would definitely not leave me so early... I don't want to see you and Xiao Wei repeat our mistakes again..."

A hint of joy flashed in Ling Ye's eyes, "Father, what do you mean..."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "My decree has been drafted. Ye'er, you will become the next emperor!"

"Father..."

Ling Ye called out anxiously. But when the emperor smiled, he said hoarsely: "I have entrusted Xuan Kingdom to you, and my mission will be completed. You can go to see the ancestors of Xuan Kingdom. As for Ye'er, as an emperor in the future, you will naturally have the final say in any decision to make!"

Did the father acquiesce?

Perhaps this is the best way to avoid bloody wars.

Ling Ye's dark eyes were a little hazy. He looked at the direction of the Yangxin Palace through the Qingchi Pool and whispered: "Father, thank you for your kindness in raising you, thank you for all your indulgence and care within your ability. Thank you for your fulfillment... Give me and Weier a free and peaceful sky!"

*******

The sky is full of stars, and the night is as cool as water. A white shadow stands quietly under the stars.

Ling Ye saw the person standing in the courtyard at a glance. He frowned and walked over quickly.

"Wei, it's so late, why don't you rest first and stand outside alone?"

I smiled, held his hand and walked towards the bedroom together, and replied, "I'm not sleepy, and the night is very good tonight, suitable for watching the moon!"

Ling Ye reached out and tapped the tip of my nose, held my hand tightly, and said angrily: "You need to add a piece of clothing to watch the moon. What should I do if I suffer from a cold? Just like the last time you caught a cold, you feel uncomfortable, and I feel distressed!"

"No, I have antibodies this time. In fact, my body is not as weak as you imagined. It's very good, don't worry!" I clasped my fist and compared it to prove that my body was great, but it caused Ling Ye to laugh.

"Wow, laugh..." I looked at him with a pursed lips: "It's good to laugh. I don't like you the most when you frown. Such handsomeness will be greatly reduced!"

Ling Ye chuckled again, nodded and responded: "Okay, in order not to let me lose points in front of you, I will not frown again in the future!"

"Really?" I looked at him sideways. Minghei's eyes were clear, as if there was a hint of ease to solve the problem, and as if there was a hint of hidden sorrow.

Ling Ye didn't look at me, but just walked back to the bedroom with my hand. After closing the door, he replied: "Really, Wei, do you still remember what I told you before?"

"What's the matter?" I admitted that I was a little slow to react and reached out and scratched my head.

"I promised you that the problem you were worried about that day would never happen." Ling Ye's gentle eyes fell on me, approached me, hugged me gently, and murmured: "I have told my father that I don't want to compete for this world with Li Zixin. I don't want to be the emperor. I just want to take you, all over the world, the sarcastic storm..."

"Emperor... the emperor agreed?" I asked tremblingly, feeling that all this came too suddenly, making people feel as if they were trapped in the clouds and fog for a moment, so unreal.

Ling Ye nodded lightly, as a response. He had to make proper arrangements for the next thing and announced it after everything was settled.

*******

The next morning, after Ling Ye got out of court, he went directly to the military camp, and Nie Qingting and Liu Sizhi were also accompanying him.

After going to see the soldiers' daily exercises, Ling Ye returned to the main business with a smile on his face.

As soon as he sat down, Wei Feng walked in, nodded slightly to the two accompanying him, then looked at Ling Ye and said, "Third Master, the generals in the camp are already waiting outside!"

Ling Ye nodded and ordered: "Let them come in!"

Nie Qingting and Liu Sizhi looked at each other in confusion. They still couldn't figure out what the hegemony wanted them to come to the military camp together.

The thick curtain was lifted up, and all the generals led by Han Qingsong entered one after another.

"See Your Highness!" The generals bowed and bowed.

"Let's go flat!" Ling Ye said with a smile.

The generals stood up as they said, and stood aside and waited for His Highness Rui's orders.

Ling Ye's eyes swept over the generals with a bright look and asked, "Everyone, how do you think about it today?"

As soon as this statement was made, all the generals, including Nie Qingting and Liu Sizhi, looked at each other and were stunned. Unexpectedly, Your Highness would have such a question. What is your Highness today? Uh, what does your Highness mean?

Han Qingsong pondered for a moment and stepped forward to respond: "Since the demise of the Central Plains dynasty, natural disasters and soldiers have been in chaos, and the people have suffered a lot. But now, the four countries are invading and fighting. Under the seemingly calm political situation, there are undercurrents and treacherous situations. The subordinates believe that one day, this world still needs to be unified so that the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment!"

Han Qingsong's words made the generals nodded and agreed. Yes, they would one day be unified. Even if Li Guo, who was allied with him at this moment, might meet on the battlefield in the near future.

"If the people want to be truly willing to live in peace, they must end this turbulent political situation and restore their tranquility. I want to form an alliance with Li and return peace to the world with the strength of the two countries." Ling Ye's voice was low and solemn.

"Alliance? Haven't Xuanli and Li countries formed an alliance?" One of the generals asked.

"What I am talking about is a true alliance, combining the two countries into one country. Li Zixin is an emperor with great ability, and he also has the intention to dominate the world. This is very good, and only with one ambition can one achieve the best. I want to fulfill him!" Ling Ye said lightly.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, will our Xuan Kingdom become a vassal state of Li? Or will the country name disappear one day?" Han Qingsong had deep worries on his face, and the other generals were also frightened by Ling Ye's words.

Ling Ye leaned on the back of the chair, smiling lightly, looking at the huge map hanging on the front with a slight look, and said lightly: "If the world is unified and the people are happy, why should we divide the country of Xuan and Li?"

What's more, Li Zixin is also the father's biological son... Of course, this is a secret that cannot be disclosed.

When the generals heard this, their eyes fell on Ling Ye's face. Such a calm and wise gaze made them speechless for a moment and slightly lowered their heads.

A moment later, Ling Ye's clear and indifferent voice sounded: "Fighting the world requires heroes and overlords, but governing the world requires wise rulers and wise rulers!"

"Your Highness will also become a wise lord in the future! Why do you have to let Li Zixin rule the world and get a bargain for free?" Another general was quite dissatisfied with grabbing it. After saying that, he realized that he was a little reckless and bowed his head and said nothing.

Ling Ye was not surprised. He knew that they would not be able to accept this for a while. Therefore, before the real alliance, he would give them time to digest it. He stood up from his seat, smiled and looked solemn and heavy. A noble and awe-inspiring breath naturally arose, which made the generals present lower their heads and looked at them, and did not dare to look at them. After a while, Ling Ye's eyes became gentle, and he looked up at the generals and smiled and said, "You have been by my side for many years. You should know what my wish is. Do you rule the world? Not what I want most... I disappoint you all, but as famous generals in the world, you should have a broad vision and broad mind, not limited to one person or one country!"

"Yes!" the generals responded quickly.

Han Qingsong's eyes were slightly red. He looked at Ling Ye, bowed and bowed, his eyes full of enthusiasm and sincerity: "I am willing to protect Your Highness's wish! As long as it is what you think you should do, I will die!"

Seeing this, the others knelt down and followed his example: "The subordinates are willing to follow His Highness's wishes, obey His Highness's instructions, and never refuse!"

Ling Ye looked quietly at the generals who were kneeling on the ground and who had been protecting him, and his heart was filled with excitement. He took a deep breath and ordered: "Get up!"

"Your Highness, we will always be loyal to you. You are the eternal King of Rui in our hearts!" The generals did not stand up, and all straightened their backs and said with a reverent expression.

"I know!" Ling Ye smiled, walked up to them, helped them up one by one, and said, "Thank you!"

When he walked out of the tent, Ling Ye suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment in front of him. The wish in his heart was being realized step by step.

Next, he will stay by his father's side and accompany him to complete his life safely without regrets.

Under the blue sky, white clouds are soft. The breeze swept, rolling up his white robe slightly. Ling Ye spread his arms and felt the wind passing through his fingers. It was cool, but it made people feel very comfortable. Spring is coming, and everything will bloom and be full of vitality! (To be continued.
