Emperor Wende moved to visit the sick fourth prince Liu Yi in person.

Empress Pei was more excited than others.

Your Majesty, poor fourth child!

Emperor Wende had a straight face, noncommittal.

He stood in front of the bed, looked coldly at Liu Yi who was lying on the bed, It's a success!

Empress Pei was stunned on the spot when she heard the sound.

Liu Yi couldn't speak for the time being, he could only look at Emperor Wende helplessly, weeping silently.

He was wronged and helpless.

Why didn't you even give him a chance.

Anyway, let him fight and grab.

If you can't win a fight, your skills are inferior to others, he admits it.

But he was not even given the chance to play, how heartbroken he was.

Looking at the previous generations of princes, who has not experienced blood and rain, and who has not experienced the shadow of swords and swords...

Regardless of victory or defeat, everyone is better than one.

The winner takes all, and the loser takes all.

As for him, he didn't even have the chance to compete, and his ambition was useless. What will be written in the history books in the future?

It must have been a slip, he didn't even have a name.

Because there is nothing worth writing about.

Only the bloody battle for the heirloom is full of swords and swords, which is worthy of special mention.

For example, King Zhao, who forced the palace to rebel, will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books.

In fact, Liu Yi's mood was the same as that of the courtiers.

The battle for the heir apparent is too suspenseful, and there is no room for everyone to play.

The courtiers are the worst class of courtiers.

Of course, the prince was the worst prince of the generation, and he was out of the game before the official battle started.

Beep!

The son was wronged, the son refused to obey, the son just wanted to suffocate himself to death.

Emperor Wende disliked it very much.

He asked with a straight face: How do you want?

Liu Yi watched eagerly, he just wanted a chance.

Emperor Wende asked him, Given you a chance, do you think you can win?

At this point, the house has been emptied.

Even Queen Pei was invited out.

Only the father and son were left to confront each other.

Liu Yi continued to be wronged and continued to cry.

Given a chance, even if you can't win, at least you don't regret it.

Emperor Wende suddenly let out a sigh, You, you really don't know your blessings in the midst of blessings. Do you want to taste what it's like to be confined to the Zongzheng Temple for ten years and only be able to move around in the small world? You want to taste what you say and do. What does it feel like to be stared at when you go to the toilet? Are you sure you want to live like this?

Liu Yi was stunned.

Emperor Wende said solemnly: Do you know what the end of failure is? Death is the best result, and life is worse than death is the real torture.

Liu Yi became excited, he may not be a loser.

Emperor Wende smiled contemptuously, What are you using to argue with Liu Zhao?

Liu Yi was furious.

Ever since he was a child, his father believed that he was not as good as Liu Zhao.

Even though he received far more favors than Liu Zhao, it was the elders' favor for children. It has nothing to do with responsibility, nothing to do with ability, just because of his sweet mouth.

Why?

He is not as good as Liu Zhao.

Emperor Wende simply sat down, thought for a while, and said: Liu Zhao is with you in a different place today, and he was eliminated. His reaction must not be like this.

Liu Yi was stunned, his eyeballs motionless.

Emperor Wende said again: How do you think Liu Zhao will react?

Liu Yi was thoughtful.

If Liu Zhao is the one who is out, he will definitely not accept his fate.

He will be like a traitor, with a smile on his face, but behind his back, he is ready to force the palace to seize the heir.

Nine times out of ten, he will rebel.

He has the money.

Emperor Wende said: Look at your reaction. How is it different from a child who has been wronged? You are not young, brother Zheng has reached the age of marrying a wife, and you are still so willful. How can I hand over the country to you? Give you.

This can be regarded as opening the skylight and speaking frankly, publicly acknowledging that the position of the crown prince belongs to Liu Zhao.

Liu Yi continued to cry, but he was not reconciled.

When have you ever been willing?

Emperor Wende smiled, Although I don't care much about you brothers, I know your temper and character very well. From childhood to adulthood, it has something to do with Liu Zhao. When have you ever been willing? You were spoiled by your mother. gone.

It's not arrogant and indulgent, it's just that there is always a struggle and a scramble for everything.

Whether it can be grabbed is another matter, but it must show a sense of presence.

Liu Yi wanted to ask, is he really inferior to Liu Zhao?

At this time, Emperor Wende didn't hide it, and said bluntly: You are not as good as Liu Zhao.

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Liu Yi hard in the heart.

Liu Yi gasped for breath, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Others said that he was not as good as Liu Zhao, but he refused to accept it.

But the emperor himself said that he was not as good as Liu Zhao, so he felt that everything was over, it was doomed.

I feel so sick that I wish I could die.

Emperor Wende grabbed him and said, Look at how promising you are. Is it so difficult to admit that you are not as good as Liu Zhao? If you want to fight with such a temper, what are you fighting for?

Liu Yi cried so much that his eyes were full of tears, and the tears rolled down as if the faucet had been turned on.

He gasped for breath, his tongue rolled, he wanted to speak, he must speak.

what……

He finally made a sound.

Aphasia heals without treatment.

Father, my son is not reconciled!

Emperor Wende patted him on the shoulder, You have been squeamish since you were a child, and you are still like this for a long time.

I'm not squeamish, but I'm unwilling. I've been working in the yamen all these years, and I don't dare to slack off for a day. I ask myself that I can live up to the expectations of my courtiers. How can I not be as good as him?

Emperor Wende laughed, You have fulfilled your duty as a courtier, which is very good. Then do you know what abilities you need to be an emperor?

Liu Yi said eagerly, Your minister can learn.

Emperor Wende shook his head, The most important thing to be an emperor is to see the overall situation. How about this, let me ask you, how will you manage the western region next? Marquis Lu has obviously become a serious problem for the imperial court. How to solve this matter?

Liu Yi was stunned on the spot, obviously flustered, I didn't think too much about it. But give me a few days, and I will definitely have an answer.

Will time wait for you? I'm not in good health. Everyone can see it. Maybe it will happen at some point... If you inherit the Great Reign, the first thing you will face after you ascend the throne is how to deal with the Northwest issue. How to suppress Lu Hou. How do you do it? You can’t say that I didn’t think about it, just push it again and again.”

Couriers...

Emperor Wende interrupted Liu Yi, You are a king, you can't listen to your courtiers in everything. You must first have a steelyard in your heart, and then take part of the courtiers' suggestions as needed. If you listen to your courtiers' advice in everything, you will be punished. The courtiers are leading the way. Sooner or later, there will be traitors in the court. Even the matter of Marquis Lu may never be resolved. He has enough money to buy the courtiers to speak for him. Can you tell who is loyal and who is traitor? Because what every courtier says makes sense.

Liu Yi swallowed subconsciously, My son...

Emperor Wende patted him on the shoulder, So I said, first of all, you have to have a steelyard in your heart, so that you can measure who is loyal and who is treacherous.

Liu Yi asked eagerly: Does he have a strategy to conquer the northwest? Is there a way to deal with Luhou?

Emperor Wende nodded, With regard to the Northwest and the Marquis of Lu, Liu Zhao has already made a statement, which is very bold, but the future can be expected. I am optimistic about his plan.

Liu Yi's face turned pale, He, he has been in the Northwest all year round, and he does have an advantage over me on the Northwest issue.

Delicate air! Emperor Wende blocked Liu Yi with a single sentence.

Liu Yi burst into tears, My son is not delicate, but my son is wronged.

Emperor Wende laughed, Just because of your grievance, you have already lost. You don't need to compare, I know the result. Take good care of your illness and think about it. You are brothers, and he will need you in the future.

My son is not rare!

If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your children and grandchildren. Willfulness will only make you bruised.

Liu Yi was silent.

Emperor Wende said again: This is the first and last time I will tell you simply as a father. You can do it yourself.

After speaking, Emperor Wende got up and left.

Liu Yi wailed loudly.

He wanted to stop his father and tell him not to leave.

It's been so many years since he experienced father's love for the first time, and he can't bear it.

But in the end, he couldn't cry out.

Empress Pei stood waiting in the courtyard, and when she saw Emperor Wende coming out, she eagerly went up to him, Your Majesty, fourth child is all right.

Emperor Wende sneered, Don't pamper him less, and he will be fine.

Empress Pei looked unhappy, It's also wrong for me to spoil my son.

If you don't care about his future, you can pet him.

After all, Emperor Wende left in a flick of his sleeves.

Empress Pei stomped her feet anxiously.

He wanted to catch up with Emperor Wende, but he was worried about Liu Yi.

In the end, Liu Yi was chosen.

Empress Pei rushed into the room and hurriedly comforted Liu Yi, Fourth brother, don't think too much. If you have anything to say, tell me, and the queen mother will find a solution for you.

Liu Yi was in a daze, staring at the roof without saying a word.

Empress Pei was terrified, Imperial physician, imperial physician...

Don't call me a doctor, my son is fine.

You can talk? Empress Pei cried with joy.

Liu Yi said expressionlessly: The son wants to rest, can the queen mother...

Empress Pei wiped away her tears, You have a good rest, I'm going to find your father.

whatever.

He was too tired to even care about it.

Empress Pei excitedly went to find Emperor Wende, but was told that His Majesty was exhausted and had already rested.

Empress Pei didn't give up after touching her nose.

She ordered Liu Zhao to be invited.

You have to help the fourth child. Empress Pei went straight to the point and there was no room for negotiation.

Liu Zhao asked bluntly, How can I help?

Empress Pei said with a straight face: Help the fourth child to plead in front of His Majesty.

Liu Zhao pretended to be stupid, I don't even know what happened to the fourth child, how can I plead for mercy.

I don't care about it, you just want to plead for the fourth child. The fourth child is lying on the bed alive and dead, can you bear it? Empress Pei burst into tears as she spoke.

Liu Zhao looked innocent, I haven't even seen my fourth brother, how can I bear it?

Then you go to see him now and see how pitiful he is.

Liu Zhao secretly rolled his eyes, Okay! My son will go see him now.

As for the matter of pleading, just ignore it.

Queen Pei didn't notice anything wrong either.
