The emperor broke open the sweet potato he had roasted himself, took half of it for himself, and handed the other half to Jingxuan.
He asked: "Have you ever scolded me when I sent you to such a far place?"
Jingxuan smiled and nodded: "I scolded you."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh.
After taking a bite of roasted sweet potato, Jingxuan asked: "How is my sister?"
The Emperor said: "I have left many hidden guards for her in Geling City. If nothing else happens, she will be able to come to you after the incident in Geling City is settled this time."
Jingxuan nodded. It was obvious that he believed what the emperor said.
The emperor asked while eating: "Then I sent you here, when you scold me, will you scold me harshly?"
Jing Xuan said: "I just cursed lightly."
The emperor looked at him: "What?"
Jingxuan laughed again.
The emperor said: "It's good if you don't scold me harshly."
Jing Xuan muttered in a low voice: "I thought His Majesty was never afraid of being scolded."
The Emperor said: "I am indeed never afraid of being scolded, but I cannot be scolded for no reason. After all, this place you came to...was chosen by your sister."
Net selection: "..."
After a while, he exhaled heavily, with some resentment in his breath.
He said: "She is always so self-righteous. She never asks me what I like, but only cares about what she likes."
The emperor gnawed the roasted sweet potato and didn't answer, but smiled from time to time.
Jingxuan continued: "She likes this kind of place that is close to nature but remote and uninhabited, but I don't like it."
"I like bustling places with endless food and endless streets to visit. There are always huge crowds of people during holidays."
The emperor said: "Then I will arrange for you to go to Yunzhou? When the opportunity is right, I will take you back to Geling. Although Yunzhou is not as good as Geling, it is still a prosperous city that is the best in the world."
He looked at Jing Xuan and said, "I like the customs and customs there very much, and the atmosphere during the New Year and festivals in the north is also good. Your sister likes nature and purity, and you like the crowds and bustle, so we can live separately and I will arrange it according to your own wishes.
"
Jingxuan asked: "Can we take her to Yunzhou?"
The emperor asked: "Do you think your sister is the kind of person who won't leave after being kidnapped?"
Jingxuan curled his lips, and then let out a long sigh: "Then forget it, I'll wait for her here."
The emperor laughed again.
Jing Xuan said: "There is no way, and there is no man other than me who will feel sorry for her or care about her. Before she marries me, I will apologize to her and go along with her."
He paused for a moment, then muttered a few more words.
"She has a tomboyish temperament and is not good-looking. What if she can't get married? Do you still want me to keep accommodating her?"
The emperor smiled: "It's pretty good."
Jing Xuan immediately said: "No, no, no, big, no."
After the two of them finished eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Jingxuan knew that the emperor was leaving soon.
He asked: "Your Majesty, how far is it before the big event in your mind is decided?"
The Emperor said: "I don't know either, but it shouldn't be too far away. You should know that I won't live long, but I don't allow me not to see that day with my own eyes."
Jingxuan gave a hum.
The Emperor patted Jingxuan on the shoulder: "I know that it is impossible for you not to hate me, and I also know that no matter how you make up for it, I cannot make you not hate me."
Jingxuan shrugged his shoulders: "If I hadn't been in Shangyang Palace for five years, I would definitely hate His Majesty to the core of my being."
The emperor asked: "What about now?"
Jingxuan replied: "I still hate it, but..."
He looked at the emperor, looked into his eyes and said, "After all, your majesty himself said just now that your majesty won't live long."
He said: "Grudges disappear after death."
The emperor nodded: "Okay, hatred will disappear after death."
Jingxuan raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "I know that if I had not chosen to enter Shangyang Palace, I would have been tempted to take revenge."
"I know that if I enter Shangyang Palace, I will definitely become a rebellious son who refuses to retaliate. In the future, when I go under Jiuquan, my father and mother will scold me severely."
He said: "I also hate myself. At such a young age, why do I think about righteousness? It's better to be a selfish person."
The emperor didn't say anything, he just looked at the selection process.
Jingxuan still looked at the sky and said: "If you are an ordinary family, you are my uncle and I am your nephew. If you have a piece of candy at home, you will give half of the candy to me and your child."
"I've seen it before in the fishing village on the other side of the river. My second uncle and his nephew were fishing. They were just having fun and messing around."
"The second uncle put his nephew on his shoulders to fly a kite, and the nephew felt at ease and rode the second uncle like a horse..."
"What I envy the most is that the second uncle looks to be about thirty years old, and the nephew is about twelve or thirteen years old, only as tall as his second uncle's shoulders."
"But, when the two of them were tired and had enough fun, they stood arm-in-arm by the river and peed into the river together... It was really nice."
The emperor was silent for a long time.
Until his men came to urge him, if he didn't start his journey, he wouldn't be able to reach his next destination before dark.
The emperor responded and signaled his men to prepare the carriages and horses first.
He was silent for a while, then looked at Jingxuan and said seriously: "You know, I have been in poor health, so I can't lift you up to fly a kite."
Jingxuan nodded: "I know."
The emperor put his arm around Jingxuan's shoulders: "Let's pee together."
Jingxuan couldn't help but smile, his eyes were shiny and moist.
Two people walked to the river, one big and one small. Jingxuan was already sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was a little shorter, only a little taller than the emperor's shoulders.
The emperor's right hand hugged his shoulder, and he raised his left hand to also hug the emperor's shoulder.
It is for hooking the shoulders and tying the back.
He has finished urinating, but the emperor has not done it yet.
He looked down and the emperor snorted and said: "Don't look, when you reach my age, you will be the same."
Jingxuan thought for a while and replied: "That's really not good... it's very bad."
After the emperor finished urinating, he said to Jingxuan: "If you dare to tell this matter, I will definitely punish you."
Jingxuan nodded: "I won't say, who hasn't grown old yet, but...it's really slow."
The emperor curled his lips, let go of his hand, turned around and strode away.
He didn't look back, he raised his arms and waved as he walked forward.
Jingxuan also raised his arms and waved. The emperor's back was getting farther and farther away from him. He was about to board the carriage and leave his little world.
"Uncle!"
Jing Xuan suddenly shouted: "Take care!"
The emperor had already boarded the carriage with one foot. At this moment, his body was stiff, but his shoulders trembled a few times, and the expression on his face that Jingxuan could not see was frozen there.
Concubine Wan Gui in the carriage looked at the emperor and persuaded him softly: "Go back and hug him again."
The emperor hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "That seems deliberate, and he won't be able to adapt to it..."
The emperor got into the car and sat down, opened the window and looked at the young man who was still standing by the river.
The moment the carriage moved forward, the emperor shouted: "Your sister said you don't look good in light-colored clothes, and she is right."
Just choose a pout.
Then laughed.
As the carriage drove away, the boy was still waving, waving, and waving again by the river.
He felt that he was indeed a traitor. The emperor was by his side. The emperor was still weak and sick. With his strength, he could kill the emperor casually.
If he had really taken action at that moment, not even a master of the Immortal Realm like Wan Guifei would have time to rescue him.
This thought has not come up before. At the moment when the emperor was about to leave, this thought came up several times in one breath. It should be the most irresistible impulse.
When his thoughts disappeared, it was the emperor who put his arm around his shoulders and said... let's pee together.
When the carriage moved away and the emperor's team moved away in a mighty manner, Jingxuan suddenly knelt down and kept kowtowing in the direction of Geling City.
He is not kowtowing to the emperor, he is kowtowing to his father and mother.
"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom... I know I was wrong, and I know I shouldn't, but I still didn't have the guts to do it."
"What's even more unfilial about my child is that when he...when he was standing next to me, my child even felt that he didn't just have a sister as a relative in the world."
He kowtowed, and kowtowed again.
"The child is guilty."
In the carriage.
Concubine Wan Gui couldn't help but ask: "Whose child is he?"
The Emperor said: "He is my cousin. According to the relationship in the genealogy, he is neither too far nor too close."
"Logically speaking, with his status, he shouldn't be involved in right and wrong, and I won't touch him... But, after he was instigated too much, he started to dream."
"Based on the relationship, he was closer to the emperor who died unexpectedly, so after being instigated by others, he felt that he should inherit the throne more than my father and me."
The emperor paused.
He opened the car window.
"Actually, if you think about it, it is indeed the case. That lineage was torn to pieces by the powerful ministers, and my lineage was lifted up and placed on the dragon throne. In fact, it is the same."
He said: "It was okay before, he could hold it in all the time, but when my brothers started showing their opposites, he couldn't hold it back anymore."
"Probably because he thinks that even my brothers are going to turn against me and fight for that chair, so there's nothing he can't do."
"People will always lose some things they actually have, such as...life, because of unrealistic dreams."
When the emperor said this, he seemed to not want to talk about the selection of his father.
He stopped talking, and Concubine Wan Gui stopped asking.
Over the years, are there not many men in the Xie family who have been deceived and become lame? Quite a few, and even more have been deceived to death.
Dayu has only been in the world for more than two hundred years, and the men of the Xie family have become more and more stupid.
"This country cannot be saved with a knife."
The emperor suddenly muttered to himself.
Concubine Wan Gui heard this from the emperor more than once.
The Emperor said that after twenty years, all he had managed to remove were the outermost sores on Dayu's body.
And a large number of these malignant sores belong to the Xie family.
"Fortunately."
The emperor said to himself again: "The Xie family has a cruel person like me."
