Emperor Ming Yuan wanted to help him up, "Father, go in and talk."
"No, I like to sit here."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and sighed deeply, "I have been sitting here for a long time. Ever since I retreated, I have been looking at the door of this palace every day. You know, everyone has that day. I wait patiently and have no regrets.
I have no expectations, I have been tired for most of my life, and I always have to go to my destination."
Emperor Ming Yuan's heart trembled. His father wanted to be strong all his life and never say these words in front of his children and grandchildren.
He took another puff of cigarette and said, "I don't know when it will start. I have expectations. These days are like a spring water mixed into the stagnant water, gurgling with life. But, you don't know when it will start."
The spring will be blocked again."
"Father..." Emperor Ming Yuan felt uncomfortable hearing this, "I know that you love the Crown Princess, but her current situation is not at its worst. You can't be so pessimistic."
The Supreme Emperor suddenly raised his head and said, "I told you, now that the crown prince has been appointed, he should be cleared of danger. People's hearts cannot stand the test. You didn't send the fourth child away, and you even allowed him to stand up many times.
This fuels his ambition."
Emperor Ming Yuan sat down gently. The outlines and expressions of the father and son were almost the same, "I have my own considerations. Lao Wu has really made great achievements in the past two years. Almost all officials have surrendered to him. It's just the father.
, have you ever thought that this is also a crisis-ridden situation. Those who follow him will slowly become arrogant and arrogant. They will no longer worry about political achievements, no longer care about the people, and will no longer see the country and the country in their eyes. They will only think about it.
It is their duty to serve the prince well. Will the prince be assimilated by them over time?
The scene I originally did was partly true. Lifting up the fourth child was not to check and balance the prince, but to make those around the prince wary and not just go out of their way to flatter the prince and father. This was originally
This is also the imperial art you taught your son."
The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Yes, I haven't been an emperor for a long time, and I have forgotten how difficult it is to be an emperor."
"I don't just pick up the fourth child blindly. I know everything he has done recently, but I still have everything under my control."
The Supreme Emperor nodded, "Well, you did the right thing. As Gu is getting older, he will inevitably become emotional. You might as well send him to Jiangbei Mansion now to save the two brothers from causing a royal tragedy."
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were filled with sadness. The fourth child was also his son. The palm of his hand was flesh and the back of his hand was flesh. In addition to the emperor's machinations, he was also a father. With his father's considerations, he still had a faint hope in his heart that he could find his way back.
There was an official road hidden in the green mountains and green waters. Two horses galloped and arrived at Guangzhao Mansion in the evening. They entered the city and found a restaurant to sit down.
After being on the road for days, the two of them were dusty and tired, their faces stained with exhaustion.
"Sir, are you just going to hit the jackpot tonight and not stay in the hotel?"
Xu Yi shook his legs and rode a horse until his buttocks were split.
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "No, go back to Beijing quickly. We are still on the road tonight. If you feel sleepy, just find a place to rest. If you drive like this day and night, we will probably arrive in Beijing tomorrow evening."
Xu Yi smiled and said: "Master, can't you wait to see the Crown Princess?"
Yu Wenhao glanced at him sideways, knocked on the table, "Pour some tea!"
"Didn't you tell the Crown Princess to wait for you to meet you at the city gate when your victorious troops return to the court?
Why rush back first?"
"Do you understand the surprise?"
Yu Wenhao thought of Lao Yuan, his eyes full of drunkenness, and wondered how she would react when he suddenly appeared in front of her.
He must have been so happy that he jumped up and hugged his neck.
"don't know!"
Xu Yi was puzzled by Feng Qing and shrugged, "It's been so long since I've been here, do you care about the half-month-old one?
If the emperor knows that you are coming back early, you will not be held accountable!"
Yu Wenhao's eyes were slightly pleased, "Who let him know?
I have thought about it. After returning, I will take Lao Yuan to stay with the Supreme Emperor in another courtyard for a while. He will not be busy with political affairs and spend all day sightseeing, eating, drinking and having fun. When the large army is about to arrive in the capital, I will go to join them.
God is unaware of it, and it is perfect."
"That's true!"
Xu Yi didn't have much expectations. People who have no worries are so cool and unrestrained.
The two had a makeshift meal, drank some wine, and started on their way again.
The horses ran out of the official road of Guangzhao Mansion and saw a motorcade approaching slowly. Xu Yi took a look and said, "Sir, is that the carriage from Prince An's Mansion?"
Yu Wenhao squinted his eyes and took a look. Sure enough, he felt that there was a very familiar carriage in the convoy, "It belongs to him. He is on a business trip?"
Xu Yi hurriedly said: "Then...then we have to hide!"
He looked back and forth, but where was there a way to hide?
It's a meeting on a narrow road, unless you turn around.
Yu Wenhao gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and ride through."
Fortunately, it was dark, the two of them were wearing ordinary casual clothes, and the carriage seemed to be in a hurry to stay overnight, so they didn't notice the two people passing by quickly.
After passing by the convoy, Yu Wenhao suddenly stopped his horse and looked back at the long convoy, "Xu Yi, did you see it?
Some carriages behind are carrying things instead of people."
Xu Fang felt guilty and didn't look carefully. Now he couldn't see it even when he turned around, so he said: "Maybe he took the princess out, so there was such a big battle."
"I wonder what errand Father sent him to do?
It’s so labor-intensive.”
Yu Wenhao's eyes flashed with confusion.
"It's none of our business anyway."
Xu Yi shrugged, "Master, let's go, don't delay, hurry up, don't you want to surprise the Crown Princess earlier?"
Yu Wenhao calmed down, yes, it’s important to hurry up.
The two of them galloped through the night, with the towering black mountains on both sides receding continuously. People who are eager to return home will always forget the fatigue of the journey, especially when they are about to arrive at their home.
If the horse didn't have to rest, he would probably sleep directly on the horse's back.
When they arrived in the capital the next day, it was just evening and the city gate had not yet closed. The two followed the caravan and rode into the city, then headed for the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
The feeling of timidity when approaching the hometown is fully reflected in Yu Wenhao. When the horse turned towards the direction of the palace, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, especially when he saw the lanterns hanging high outside the palace of Chu, illuminating the stone steps in front of the door.
It was bright, and the light of the home suddenly filled my heart, and there was even a heat wave in my eyes.
"Xu Yi!"
He suddenly turned around and smiled at Xu Yi, his voice unbearably excited, "We're home!"
He raised his whip and lowered it, and the horse spread its hooves and ran to the door of the palace. He turned over and fell off the horse, lost the whip and hurried up the stone steps.
The porter saw two horses coming from a distance. He looked closely and saw that it was the prince. He immediately came out to greet him, "Your Highness, you are finally back!"
Yu Wenhao shook off the dust and patted the concierge on the shoulder, "I am back. How is everything in the house?"
Without waiting for the concierge's answer, he walked straight inside.
