"Hong San," Li Yuan looked at Haodaer who suddenly started to wipe his tears. He was too embarrassed to look at him, but he came here with a purpose: "You go and ask everyone to leave."

"Yes!" The alert Hong San glanced secretly at Emperor Li Er as soon as he heard Li Yuan's order. After the latter nodded slightly with an almost imperceptible amplitude, he immediately turned around and began to clear the area.

"Kuan'er," Li Yuan knew that Hong San could clear the area, but he definitely couldn't clear away a certain little monkey who was still planning to watch his father's show: "My Royal Grandfather still has something to say to your father. You go to Ganlu Palace first and bring this to Xiao Sizi for my Royal Grandfather." As Li Yuan spoke, he took out a silver bell with colorful tassels from his arms and threw it to Li Kuan.

"Then Grandfather, I'm leaving now..." Seeing that Grandfather was trying to get him out of the way, Prince Chu took a few steps forward and took the bell from him. Then he glanced at his father who was still kneeling on the ground. At this moment, the few remaining traces of filial piety in Prince Chu's heart made him plead with Li Yuan: "Grandfather...my father was actually quite good to me. There's no need for us to go too far..."

"I know, I know..." Hearing this, Li Yuan reached out and touched his grandson's head, then said, "Go."

"Hmm..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu left the square holding the bell, looking back every few steps.

When only Li Yuan and his son Li Shimin were left in the square.

"Get up," Li Yuan looked at his son kneeling on the ground, his tone neither warm nor angry, "I won't fall for your tricks either."

"Father..." Li Shimin slowly stood up after hearing this, and then repeated, "My son really knows he was wrong..."

"Whether you know you are wrong or not, what's the point of saying it?" Li Yuan looked very strange. After he finished speaking, he pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Erlang, Dad just dreamed of your mother...

She was still as gentle as water, and when she looked at Dad, there was a faint smile in her eyes. It was just like when we first met..." At this time, Li Yuan's expression was sometimes gentle, sometimes painful when he spoke: "Dad tried to talk to your mother, but no matter what Dad said, your mother didn't reply. Finally, she muttered "Kuan'er", and then Dad woke up from the dream..."

"Dad..." His Majesty Li II's eyes were also red at this moment. The person that the Li father and son respected and loved the most in their lives, and who they owed the most, was the late Dou: "My mother... must have missed you too..."

“I don’t need you to comfort me!” - It would have been better if His Majesty Li II hadn’t said this. As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor’s originally calmed mood suddenly became extremely bad again. He glared at his son unhappily, and then said: “I ask you, are you planning to let Kuan’er work for you again? You bastard... Kuan’er is just a prince! He is a minister under you? What kind of work are you planning to let him do? Don’t forget your mother’s wish before she died. She just wanted Kuan’er to live a safe and happy life!

From now on, don't bother him with any government affairs. The battle of Jinshan and the recovery of Mobei this time are enough for Kuan'er and his descendants to enjoy the credit. From now on, he will be a rich and idle person who lives a carefree life. I forbid you to assign him any more affairs. Do you understand? !"

"Father..." Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er's expression froze: "Do you know that today..."

"I don't want to know." Li Yuan interrupted his son rudely without waiting for him to speak. "I only know that your mother would not send me a dream without reason. Besides, I want to ask you, how do you plan to deal with Kuan'er in the future? I just heard that you seem to be eyeing his retainers again. How come you, as a father, are planning to cheat and deceive the retainers that your mother left for your son? Do you have any shame?!"

"Father..." His Majesty Li II already felt the overwhelming pressure at this moment: "Please listen to my son's explanation... Wang Xuance is a rare genius..."

"Even if Wang Xuance is a rare genius, it is not what your mother left for you." Li Yuan found that his son had been a little crazy recently: "You are the emperor, but even if you are the emperor, you can't control who your mother plans to hand over her family business to. Before your grandmother died, she handed over the Li family business and her dowry to your mother. Have I ever asked about this?

It's your turn... Why do you think you can do that? Li Shimin, you think you have to keep this obsession in your heart until the whole situation becomes unmanageable, right? !

Just because of Wang Xuance, does that make you worried about Kuan'er? Do you have to take him away from Kuan'er? Have you ever thought about this: if your mother can prepare a Wang Xuance for Kuan'er, can she not prepare someone else? Moreover, Kuan'er doesn't care about your repeated requests for him, but are you really so embarrassed?" Li Yuan said at the end, his tone became more and more severe, and he even cursed: "I have been drunk and dreaming for so many years and have never dreamed of your mother. Who would have thought that today I watched a Huxuan dance and dreamed of her after getting drunk... You are an unfilial son... You are causing trouble for your father-in-law - and torturing my conscience!"

"Father!" Li Shimin didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at this moment. He just felt that he really had no way to defend himself. So until the end, the emotions in his heart could only be transformed into one sentence: "Your son promises you that he will never mention this matter again in the future!"

"Erlang..." Hearing his son's promise, Li Yuan suddenly felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off his chest. The emperor looked at his most outstanding son with satisfaction, and a little sadness: "Don't blame me for being strict with you. I can feel that I don't have much time left..."

"Father!" When Emperor Li Er heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Li Yuan solemnly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

"Get up!" Li Yuan saw this and immediately walked to his son, pulling him up from the ground with great effort. Then he patted his son's cheek in annoyance: "Alright, alright... you little brat... why are you still the same as before..."

Many years ago, Li Yuan, as a father, had to bend down slightly when doing this. Now, he has to raise his hand to reach it: "You are a man of the Li family, don't cry like this... You are useless!"

"Dad..." His Majesty Li II choked up again when he heard this.

“Son…” Li Yuan could no longer maintain his dignity as a father. Two lines of turbid old tears hung on his face. “Father, I beg you, you must not let your mother down again. Remember, in this life, you must not let Kuan’er follow your old path. Otherwise, even if I die and go to hell, I will never forgive you!”
