Lord, I will write novels to support you

This is the first time since he ascended the throne, the emperor no longer called himself "Zhen" in front of Zhu Wenzhen. When he pressed the handkerchief on Zhu Wenzhen's forehead, his eyes were full of paternal love that he had suppressed for a long time.

Zhu Wenzhen sat in a well-behaved manner, allowing the emperor to wipe away his blood and tears, and softly called "Father".

"You are the eldest son, you should be the crown prince due to love and reason, but you are a child who insists on refusing to do so. At that time, your imperial grandmother and queen mother were too spoiled with you, and I was soft-hearted and did not insist." Zhu Houxue smiled wryly, "At that time I am really not a human being inside and out. I clearly want to give you the position of crown prince the most, but to the outside world I have to put on an imperial posture that insists on abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones. You know what I was thinking when I protested?"

"At that time, I envied Ji Yuan very much. He could follow his heart from etiquette and teacher status, and support you with all his strength, but I could only be that villain, just to indulge your waywardness."

"Father..." Zhu Wenzhen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I have neither virtue nor ability to be the crown prince. Zechen is more suitable to be the crown prince than me. Father should be very clear about it. Yu Jinchao is also lucky to be given the position of crown prince. .”

The emperor sighed, "Xiang'er, if you act willfully, no matter what you do, you will have to pay the price. You were born in the emperor's family, and you are my eldest son. You should understand that many things are beyond your control."

"When you chose to give up the position of crown prince, you should understand what you will bear in your life from now on."

"Sitting on that dragon chair now, I can still protect you, but after three to five years, or even a year or two, I will be gone. How can you protect yourself?"

"This kid Zechen...he likes your brother, I can tell. But he has deep thoughts and will sit on the throne of God in the future. You, an idle prince living in the root of the imperial city, will be his biggest threat."

"He can tolerate you for a year or two, but he may not be able to tolerate you for a lifetime."

"Even if it's just a thought, he has murderous intentions and wants to get rid of you to prevent future troubles. What should you do?"

"You said that you don't want to be the crown prince, I'll let you do it, but I always have to think of a way out for you before I leave."

"I'm your father, I can't just watch you die."

Zhu Wenzhen moved his eyes from his father's pale face to his gray temple hair, "Father, you will live a long life, so don't say anything about whether you will leave or not."

Zhu Houxue chuckled and shook his head, "I know my own body well, and I have been sick from overwork, and it has been three or five years at most."

The emperor has been in poor health for the past few years, Zhu Wenzhen knew about it, but he didn't expect such a sudden turn for the worse these days, he was a little flustered, shouted "Father", wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Houxue raising his hand up.

"These are not important, Xiang'er, marrying Zhu Mu is the best way to keep you."

"Your uncle is in command of the three armies in the northern border, and every soldier and soldier is a soldier who fought bloody battles with him. He is the only one who is recognized. No matter whether it is a tiger charm or an imperial decree, it will not work in the north.

"Even if I can't move them at all, Zechen will definitely be unable to move the north when he becomes emperor in the future."

"If he wants to sit safely on that dragon chair, he can only respect your uncle."

"When you marry Zhu Mu, you have gained the bargaining chip to compete with Zechen. If one day Zechen draws his sword against you, the paper marriage certificate will be your amulet, child, do you understand?"

When Zhu Houxue said these words, his tone was calm and his speech speed was very slow. He put away the sense of oppression of the emperor, and only told his own difficulties as a father, admonishing his son to understand his painstaking efforts.

But such words, to Zhu Wenzhen, caused him far more pain than Zhu Houxue oppressing him with the power of an emperor.

Zhu Wenzhen felt that his chest was tight and he couldn't breathe.

He knew that everything his father said was right, and that his father's and grandmother's positions were for his own good, but he couldn't accept this kindness.

"Father, Zechen... may not really tolerate me. Although he has done some wrong things before, he has never hurt me at all. I believe he will not do anything to me."

Zhu Houxue shook his head: "Xiang'er, don't trust anyone like this, especially your younger brother."

The same thing, Xiao Ke also told him.

Zhu Wenzhen knew that his younger brother had some tricks, but he and his younger brother grew up together, and he could feel that his younger brother loved him as an elder brother. Thinking of brotherhood, he believed that Zhu Wenqi would not hurt him.

But that's not the point of the question right now.

Zhu Wenzhen asked himself, no matter whether Zhu Wenqi would do anything to him, he would never agree to this marriage.

"Father, my child understands your painstaking efforts, but my wife is the one who wants to spend the rest of my life with me. Because of an unfounded crime by Zechen, Zhu Mu has to be wronged to marry someone she neither loves nor loves her, so I am not fair to her."

Zhu Houxue laughed when he heard the words, a warm laugh that Zhu Wenzhen hadn't heard for a long time, "My child, you are still young, and there are many things you won't understand at your age."

"Life is long, and there are many things to worry about, and love is just one of them."

"When I was young, I also went astray and loved someone I shouldn't love. At that time, I only felt that I had to be her, and I even had the idea of ​​​​going far away with her. Later, I betrayed her, and I only felt that life has become boring. up.

"But now many years have passed, sitting in this seat, and looking back, I only feel that the feelings at that time were very absurd and naive."

"You were born in an emperor's family. Marriage can only be a victim. It is a choice after weighing the pros and cons. Among the pros and cons, the most insignificant thing is love."

"You don't like Zhu Mu, and Zhu Mu doesn't like you either, then you can be a superficial couple, and under the marriage deal, each go after his own lover."

"The anonymous writer you like, after you get married, just take it to the mansion. Except for the title, there is nothing less between the two of you, isn't it? You can continue to get along day and night, what absurd things to do? I don't care about you, and others won't care about it, so why not do such a perfect thing?"

When Zhu Houxue said these words, he always looked at his eldest son with a gentle smile on his face.

But Zhu Wenzhen felt a little cold when he heard these words.

The world said that the emperor was ruthless, maybe there was nothing wrong with it.

"Father, for you, marriage is just a transaction, and feelings are insignificant in it. But I am not you, I can't sit in your seat, and I can't treat feelings as indifferently as you."

"You said that it is a perfect solution for couples to appear like this, but what about the person I care about?"

"If I just put him in the mansion as a confinement, how wronged would he be?"

"I don't want to see him being wronged."
