Yuan Hao couldn't understand this son for a while. For so many years, his son had fought to the death with the deposed prince for the position of crown prince. Now that the deposed prince was imprisoned, the position of crown prince was easily accessible to him.
How could he be willing to give up?
Yuan Hao felt that King Jing must have another agenda. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's just nonsense. I made my unintentional words that day, but you actually took it seriously?"
Yuan Shuolin slowly raised his head and said: "I know that those are not the words of the father that are heartbroken. From the beginning to the end, neither the son nor the emperor have any intention of handing this country into our hands.
Your love for Erchen for so many years has been fake. Erchen has actually known for a long time who the person you really like in your heart is. The reason why you don't argue is that he is Erchen's cousin and grew up with Erchen.
Big, like a brother's cousin."
Yuan Hao looked shocked. He looked at Yuan Shuo and asked, "How did you know?"
Yuan Shuo said: "It was said by the deposed Queen Han and her mother-in-law. She wants us brothers to kill each other, but my sons and ministers will not do as she wishes."
He leaned over and bowed, putting his forehead to the ground and said: "My son is willing to become Jingjingxuan and only be a free prince from now on. Please forgive me, father."
Yuan Hao fell into silence listening to his words. He didn't expect that his son would be willing to give up the throne just to fulfill Yan Jingxuan? Is there really such brotherhood in this world?
He doesn't believe it!
There is no father-son love in the royal family, let alone brotherly love.
After a while, Yuan Hao came back to his senses and asked in a deep voice: "Don't you blame me?"
Yuan Shuolin straightened up, looked at the emperor opposite and said, "I just have a question. If my mother's family is not from the Yan family, can I be in the eyes of my father?"
Yuan Hao sighed and said: "Yes, the Han family and the Yan family relied on their achievements in serving the dragon in the past to try to control me and even control my harem. I have tolerated them for so many years and I have long hated them to the core."
Yuan Shuolin asked again: "In all these years, is the love that my father has shown to his sons and ministers all fake? Has there ever been a trace of sincerity?"
Yuan Hao's expression was slightly relaxed, and he sighed: "Yes, you are my son, no matter how much I hate the Han family and the Yan family, it is impossible not to have any feelings for you.
The reason why I haven't considered you is because I don't want you to choose between the family and the throne. I can give you the throne, but you have to pay some price!"
Yuan Shuolin understood what he meant. If he insisted on taking the throne, he would not be able to have a family, and his mother and concubine would also have to die.
He said in a deep voice: "I understand, but I still have something to ask for."
Yuan Hao nodded: "You say."
Yuan Shuo said: "I hope that my father can treat my mother and concubine kindly and let Jiahe marry a suitable husband instead of sending her away for marriage. This is my only wish, and I hope that my father will fulfill it."
After saying that, he leaned down and bowed again.
Yuan Hao stood up and walked over to help him up and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
Yuan Shuolin smiled slightly: "Thank you very much, father. I will leave the capital tomorrow and will not be able to fulfill my filial piety in front of my father. I hope my father will take care of his dragon body."
Yuan Hao frowned and asked: "Why are you so anxious? You are not married yet, you can wait until you are married before leaving."
Yuan Shuolin shook his head and said: "The undecided crown prince will only make people panic. Now the courtiers don't know Jing Xuan's life experience. They think that he is the future prince, and they want to win over him.
If the son does not leave, they will definitely cause trouble, and the father will still have to worry about it. It is better to let the son leave to catch them off guard. After the son leaves, the father can make Jing Xuan's life experience public.
"
Yuan Hao thought about it and felt that what he said was reasonable. If King Liu Jing were dissatisfied with Jing Xuan in the capital, he would definitely form a clique, and it would be bad if something happened.
He patted Yuan Shuolin's shoulder and said, "Go back and spend time with your mother and concubine."
