Hearing this, Qi Jing trembled slightly and froze for the moment.

This is a question that makes him shudder when he thinks about it - what did the father dream about.

He vaguely felt that this dream might be the key to his father's hesitation at first, but after waking up he resolutely decided to become a heir.

Thinking of the dream he told Shaoxuan, which was regarded as a prophetic dream by Shaoxuan, Qi Jing unconsciously thought in that direction, and he kept asking himself in his mind: Could it be that the father also dreamed about the things in his previous life.

Sitting on the couch, the emperor seemed a little tired from the things he had just done. He slowly closed his eyes and began to recall his dream when he was sick.

In fact, it is not a complete memory, and it has become very blurred even after waking up.

Qi Jun just remembered that he lost Lao Qi in the dream.

When the bad news came, he couldn't move for some reason, the surrounding was silent, and the darkness was boundless, so no matter how painful he was, he was powerless, and he couldn't even get up.

Unable to move, he could only endure the torment in his heart repeatedly... The feeling was very complicated, as if he had lost something before, which was already riddled with holes, and now it was worse and more painful.

The pain was so unforgettable that the emperor still couldn't calm down after waking up. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to ask where Lao Qi was.

Tong Hai answered himself "Prince Jing is in the Ministry of Rites and is dealing with official business", he didn't believe it. After the Queen Mother heard the news, he asked again and got the same answer.

The emperor didn't know why he dreamed that Lao Qi was gone.

Lao Qi has not awakened his martial arts. In the future, he will neither guard the border, nor lead the demon battalion alone to go to sea or cross the border. He will stay safely in Beijing or go to a fief, so there is no danger.

Qi Jun's dream was vague, and he couldn't remember the details at all, and couldn't find out how Lao Qi died.

But the feeling is really strong and real, and it is precisely because he is the emperor who owns Qingzhou that the feeling of loss is particularly unacceptable.

What's more, although he didn't lose Ah Jing in reality, he almost lost Ah Heng once.

Returning from the nightmare to reality, this feeling became stronger and prompted a certain determination in him.

In fact, he has observed the dispositions and performances of the several princes over the years. Objectively speaking, they all have their own advantages.

The eldest is taciturn but honest and steady, the second has both ability and morality and was taught and brought up by him, the fifth is good at martial arts and resourceful, the sixth is spoiled and raised, and has a bit of a temper, but he is better than having a drive. In the early years, they were very similar... As for the seventh child, he is smart, pure, kind, loyal, filial and friendly. Apart from his lack of martial arts, he is probably the one he likes the most. This child even raised Eleven very well.

Qi Jun is the only legitimate son of the first emperor. Since his birth, he has been deeply loved by his father and placed high hopes on him. Moreover, he has been protected by his elders all the way, and his life has been smooth and smooth.

That's why he said that the sixth son was a bit like himself in his early years - he grew up loved and loved, so he was inevitably arrogant and unaware of suffering.

When it came time to choose an heir, he ran into trouble.

First of all, neither of his two empresses left him a son, and even the concubine De, whom he had intended to be his successor, went ahead of him.

Afterwards, although no one dared to discuss Nake's wife's remarks, Qi Jun was somewhat affected in his heart, and at the same time, he also wanted to see how the princes would settle down when they grew up, before making plans.

And then the delay, the delay.As they got older, he hesitated more and more.

The emperor once thought that if he had a son who had the calmness of the eldest son, the virtue and ability of the second son, the decisiveness of the fifth son, the courage of the sixth son, and the purity of the seventh son... how wonderful it would be.

That way, he wouldn't have to rack his brains over and over again, but he couldn't make a decision.

Unfortunately, there is no such if at all.

No one is perfect, even the emperor. The so-called ideal heir does not exist in the world.

Even if it really existed, without the envy and jealousy of his brothers, I am afraid that even his father would not be able to tolerate such jewels, and would not want to be a brick to attract others.

So, no matter how hesitant, he will have to make a decision sooner or later.

Qi Jing guessed that this dream was the key to the emperor's decision. In fact, to some extent, he was right.

This dream did not tell the emperor which son was the best, but it made him deeply understand the despair and regret of loss.

He dreamed that he lost Ah Jing, and when he woke up, he naturally remembered the pain when he almost lost Ah Heng half a year ago. This was the real reason that prompted him to establish a reserve.

——People often know regret when they lose it... If there is a chance to regain it, there is no reason not to cherish it.

So when he recovered from his illness at that time, he drafted the decree to chase after Concubine De, but this time, he made up his mind and stopped hesitating.

……

When he just woke up, the emperor kept remembering the feeling in the dream, and it was not until he saw Lao Qi with his own eyes that he was really relieved.

Because of a momentary sigh, he told Ah Jing about his dream, but he just started talking, but he felt that it was not good to go on.

Firstly, it is not easy for him to tell his son that it would be too unlucky for his father to dream that you are gone; secondly, although he is sick, he does not want to appear too weak in front of his son, and this dream comes from some kind of From the point of view, it is his weakness.

So the words came to his lips, but the emperor said: "I dreamed of you, and I didn't worry about it. I ran outside by myself, but I didn't see a single person, and I didn't come to the palace to pay your respects to your imperial grandmother. "

Hearing this, Qi Jing thought to himself, "So this is what my father dreamed about." While he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little lost.

——It seems that in this world, the only person who knows that he has experienced painful struggles is his Shaoxuan...

He adjusted his mentality, and pretended to be aggrieved on the surface: "I have been honestly staying in the official office these days, and I haven't gone anywhere."

His Majesty has also been a prince and served in affairs before, so he knew that his words were not fake, and he just wanted to use euphemistic words instead of really blaming him, so he smiled and said: "Just remember to be diligent."

Xiao Shiyi was lying on the side of the bed, showing a small appearance that he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

Seeing this, the emperor asked him directly: "What do you want to say on Eleven?" Although the youngest son was not seen every day, he still liked it.

The caring little padded jacket didn't want others to say bad things about my brother, even my father, so he mustered up his courage and said, "Be good brother, brother is obedient, and you can't go home even if you're doing something."

11 is young, and when he speaks, he speaks with a kind of innocence and a different kind of earnestness, which makes people unbearably convinced.

After listening to the little guy's childish words, the emperor suddenly became cheerful, and reached out to touch his little head: "Okay, okay, your seventh brother is obedient."

Seeing how respectful they are as brothers and sisters, Qi Jun couldn't help but hope that after the establishment of the crown prince, there would be no conflict, and the rest of the brothers would become harmonious.

At this time, the emperor suddenly remembered that although Lao Qi had already been crowned king, he had not yet decided on a fiefdom because he had not yet reached the crown.

Now that he has established a reserve, it will be a matter of time for his sons to go to fiefdoms separately.

The new emperor couldn't chase his brothers away. For the sake of the future new emperor, he, the emperor, must personally send them out of Tianjing, so he didn't shy away from talking about this matter.

"Have you ever thought about whether Lao Qi will stay in Beijing to accompany your emperor brother, or go outside to practice and practice?"

In fact, among the several princes, Lao Qi who has not awakened his martial arts is relatively the freest.

Ah Heng has the closest relationship with him, and there is no need to guard against him, so whether it is placed by his side or outside, it is reassuring.

It's just that Qi Jun still hopes that Lao Qi will stay in Tianjing out of selfishness.

Because he walked like this himself, he understands the feeling of sitting in that seat, and believes that Ah Heng can have a brother who does not need to be suspicious at all, how fortunate and happy it is.

Moreover, if Lao Qi stayed in Beijing, he would be able to maintain a relationship with the emperor to some extent. Otherwise, in a few decades, when their children grow up, they may not have much impression of this uncle who has no martial arts.

This is the first time that the father asked him directly about his future plans, which made Qi Jing nervous.

The first time he had the idea of ​​frankly wanting to go to the fiefdom with his father was when he wanted to protect the second brother's wife and children.

It's just that after the emperor's brother came back safely, he stayed with Qi Heng through the most difficult time, so he didn't have a chance to talk about it.

Later, he and Lao Liu became the consul of the king, and he was busy with official duties, so he no longer had the energy to think about this problem, especially after his father fell ill again, he couldn't say it.

Now suddenly asked by his father, Qi Jing thought for a while before answering: "If I ask my son to follow his heart, he naturally hopes to go outside more in his lifetime."

The emperor was not surprised that Qi Jing would have such a plan, but he was a little surprised that he didn't mean to hide his thoughts at all.

For the same question, no matter whether he asked the other princes when he saw the first emperor, or he asked the other sons, most of the princes would answer "it's all up to the father and emperor".

"You are honest...where do you want to go?" His Majesty asked Qi Jing, "You should have thought about it..."

Qi Jing saw that the opportunity was rare, anyway, it was the emperor who took the initiative to mention it, so he quickly replied: "Cangbo, or Yucheng, can see the sea."

Now that the royal father has become the crown prince, it doesn't really matter if he is in Beijing or not, but he is not married yet, so if he wants to leave, there may be twists and turns.

"See the sea?" His Majesty was a little puzzled when he heard the words, and then thought that Lao Qi had indeed seen the sea when he went to Laiyi Guard to escort Xiangrui back to Beijing.

After careful consideration of the two things he said, His Majesty has figured it out.

Although he didn't understand why Lao Qi was still so cautious, His Majesty had to admit that the place Lao Qi chose was quite suitable for him.

——Lao Qi is indeed the smartest...

Qi Jing lowered his head, the emperor looked at the top of his head, his eyes swept over Xiao Shiyi.

The little guy was listening to them carefully, afraid that Brother Seven would suffer, seeing his father looking at him, he was not as timid as before, he seemed to have adapted to the dim light in the hall at the moment, and he was used to standing in front of his father.

"I want to see the sea, there are plenty of opportunities, first do the errands at hand," Qi Jun felt a little lonely even though they were still around: "I just told you, remember to make arrangements when you go back."

Qi Jing had expected that this matter would not be settled for a while, so he was not disappointed when his father changed the subject, but bowed and said: "My son will remember it, don't worry."

——At least he passed the bright road with his father, and with his care for him, he would probably consider it...

After this extraordinary year passed, and his father's health improved, it was time for him to explain other things.
