Chapter 686
"My son understands."

Zhao Yanjin took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Back then in the Northland, my father was riding on a high horse, commanding thousands of troops. He turned around and called Jin'er. At that moment, my son was willing to risk his life and charge into battle for his father."

Emperor Yonghe looked quite moved after hearing this.

Why does he only love this son?
In addition to looking alike, more importantly, this child has been fighting for his life on the battlefield at a young age, and is not even afraid of death.

Ask him why he did this?

He said: I want to win the battle for my father.

"Good boy!"

The emperor looked at the son who looked most like him and couldn't help but admired from the bottom of his heart.

The situation between the DPRK and China has reached the point of irreconcilability. A few days ago, he called Xie Daozhi to him.

"Tao has always been stable, so why has it become so radical in recent times?"

Xie Daozhi knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have selfish motives."

"A good minister has selfish motives."

Emperor Yonghe sneered: "If your selfishness is brought to the court, what else do you want with the official hat on your head?"

Xie Daozhi fell to the ground and said, "I am guilty and I deserve to die."

Emperor Yonghe saw his attitude and was willing to be a peacemaker. After all, it was his son who was at fault first.

"Take the memorial back and reflect on it at home for three days. Don't talk about it anymore."

Xie Daozhi straightened up and said sternly: "Your Majesty can allow the minister to take back the memorial, but he cannot let everyone take back the memorial. If the minister is selfish, are they also selfish? Your Majesty, please be clear."

Emperor Yonghe was speechless when asked, and was shocked.

Memorials to impeach the King of Han have been coming like snow flakes in recent days. I thank him for being a villain. With so many civil and military officials in the court, is it possible that they are all villains?

Your Majesty, everyone knows that you despise the prince and only favor the King of Han, but you still risk your life to write a letter one by one. Why?

why?

Because of identity.

Since ancient times, there have been distinctions between elders, children, and descendants. This is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Rules are meant to be followed. Once broken, what are the consequences?
How will future history books write about you?

At this moment, the emperor realized the seriousness of the situation, and that's why the father and son had today's heart-to-heart talk.

"How many months has Jin'er been in Beijing?"

"Go back to Daddy, it's been five months."

Emperor Yonghe nodded: "The fief cannot be left without an owner for a day. After drinking the grandson's wedding wine, my son will return to the fief. There is no need to follow this northern expedition."

A basin of cold water was poured on the head.

Zhao Yanjin was so shocked that his eyes went straight.

"Dad, why is this? You clearly appointed your son to accompany you on the expedition."

Emperor Yonghe reached out and patted his son on the shoulder.

"Over the years, you have fought on my behalf here and there, leaving you with a lot of injuries. I heard that your waist has not been in good condition recently."

"It's just that it will be sore for a while if it's cloudy and rainy, but it's not a big deal."

Zhao Yanjin lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and said sincerely:
"In the year of my father's obedience, my son went to the North to fight. No matter what, my son couldn't rest assured. Please fulfill his filial piety."

"Dad knows that you have always been filial, but Jin'er..."

Although the prince is unbearable, my grandson is deeply in my heart. That child is ruthless when he should be cruel and patient when he should be patient. He is a good candidate to be an emperor.

Looking back at your lineage...

No one can take on this responsibility!
As a king, take one step and look at three steps. If the Zhao family's legacy is to be passed down from generation to generation, there must be some choices.

For example, the father-son relationship between you and me.

Emperor Yonghe looked down at him and said warmly: "Filial piety is not only about fighting for father, taking care of the area south of the Yangtze River, and sharing worries and solving problems for father, it is also filial piety."

"As the ancients say, in fighting a tiger, brothers are brothers; father and son fight in battle."

Zhao Yanjin: "Dad, please let me go!" Emperor Yonghe looked away and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, I have already decided."

When Zhao Yanjin saw that the emperor still showed no signs of softening after what he had said, he felt his heart become cold.

We can't let it go, we have to give it a last try.

He secretly swallowed a sip of saliva and asked carefully: "Dad, is it because I am an evil star?"

Emperor Yonghe's expression suddenly changed.

He ordered Qin Tianjian not to make any public announcement about this matter, as he did not want anyone to dare to disobey his order.

"How did you know about the evil star?"

"There have been rumors outside that I am an evil star."

Zhao Yanjin looked aggrieved and said, "Dad, my son has followed you in the north and south, and there have been countless times of bullets and bullets, but he has survived in desperate situations. How can there be any evil star?"

Emperor Yonghe pursed his lips and said nothing.

"My son was born at an auspicious time and on an auspicious day. He has been blessed with good fortune since childhood. How could it be an evil star?"

As the conversation began, Zhao Yanjin stopped covering up, "Dad, please don't listen to the slanderous words of those young people!"

Emperor Yonghe frowned: "Qin Tianjian still acts in a measured way..."

"Father!"

Zhao Yanjin interrupted: "Do you know who Mr. Zhu from Qintian Prison is secretly turning to?"

"Who?"

"His Royal Highness!"

Emperor Yonghe's face darkened, "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Yanjin: "My son is not talking nonsense. Master Zhu has been frequently hanging out with Xie Daozhi's youngest son and Pei Yu's eldest son recently, and these two people are close friends of His Highness Taisun."

Emperor Yonghe raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Father knows it well, and his son never tells lies."

Zhao Yanjin had tears in his eyes, "They... they want to drive a wedge between us, father and son!"

The word "separation" suddenly turns things upside down.

The so-called evil star is just something out of thin air. Zhu Yuanmo was instructed by the prince's party to do this.

But Zhao Yanjin didn't know that the emperor's refusal to allow him to go on an expedition this time was not just a matter of evil stars.

These days, the prince's party and the Han king's party were fighting each other in the court, allowing the emperor to see one thing clearly -

Although a prince is useless, he is better than a virtuous one.

A virtuous person is supported by hundreds of officials and loved by the people. In addition, he is both the eldest son and the legitimate son. If the world is reversed by force...

His own path to power has been criticized by the world;

There will be some mistakes in the passing of the position...

As Xie Dao's words suggest, how should future history books write about him as an emperor?

Emperor Yonghe looked at him, remained silent for a long time, and said, "I didn't expect Zhu Yuanmo to be so brave about this matter!"

"Daddy was wrong!"

Zhao Yanjin sneered, "The Zhu family has always been so courageous."

Was I wrong?
A trace of displeasure flashed in Emperor Yonghe's eyes, so fast that Zhao Yanjin didn't notice it.

"There is something that my father must not know. On the day of Master Zhu's father Zhu Xuanjiu's death, three coffins were blown up in a row."

Zhao Yanjin: "In just a few months, several more coffins were carried out from Zhu's house one after another. In addition, a few days ago, Mr. Zhu's hair turned gray overnight, and the people were talking about their family's affairs."

"What are you talking about?"

"It is said that the Zhu family has done too many immoral things and has received retribution."

The word retribution made Emperor Yonghe's chest tight to the extreme, but Zhao Yanjin snorted coldly and said regardless:
"As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the father's bad character will not make his son any better. Father, you must be careful, in case the Zhu family joins forces with the prince to plot against you..."

"presumptuous!"
