Chapter 135 Inheritance

My mother is safe, my child has been away from Shenjing for 100 days. My uncle has promised me to contact my mother today... My child goes north and is safe and smooth. Half a month ago, I had a cold after sweating and had a wind for two days. It has been completely cured. Please don’t worry.

My uncle treated my child very well, accompanied him all the way and cared for him carefully. He rode horses, rowed, hunted, and played football, and was always with him. The child had never had such a happy time......

After arriving in Beijing, my uncle asked the child to be named Li Ji and joined the Youth Football Association to learn to play football.

During the primary election, the child failed all three times of the assessment. The uncle did not allow the guards to assist him. In the end, the child joined the worst team. He worked for more than 30 days before becoming a regular player, but he could only serve as a substitute. The uncle said that the child's football skills were no less than those of his partner, and the coach was not allowed to start. It was not until the game was about to happen that the child got a precious opportunity. Later, he learned that it was the uncle who gave the coach 30 yuan. The child wondered whether this move would bribe, whether it was against the gentleman's way, and there was a way to anti-imperiality.

Yesterday, the game ended, our team had to be the seat of the palace army. My uncle paid the money and invited the whole team to have a shark fin banquet, but there was no coach. After asking, I found out that someone reported that the coach had accepted bribes and had been dismissed from the school. The child suspected that it was his uncle's work......"

In July of Shenjing, the weather is still very hot. In the imperial study, Li Junhua was drinking the sour plum soup to relieve the heat and listening to Concubine Rong reading the letters from her son.

Li Zhaoji and Li Junwei, the uncle and nephew, have been away from Shenjing for more than a hundred days. During these days, Li Zhaoji is not allowed to write letters to his home. Instead, he asks the guard team to report the itinerary to the capital every day. Therefore, Li Junhua knows his son's situation, but Concubine Rong wants to know but can't get what he wants to care about.

Today, we finally got the letter written by Li Zhaoji, and the couple were very happy.

"Download the mill and kill the donkey, this must be done by the third brother." Li Junhua put down the bowl and said with a smile.

"......... The uncle has allowed the child to contact his mother, but he is not allowed to send any items. There is a donkey rolling in the capital, and Shaqima and others are here. I don't know if it has broken down due to the heat. If it is not broken, please ask the mother to taste it, and choose one or two of them that they don't like to eat, and give it to Brother Zhaocheng..." Concubine Rong continued to read, and at the end of the reading, she was already amused and crying.

"Your Majesty, Zhaoji has been to the capital for more than three months. You can't do this or that when you hear what you said in this letter, you are not allowed to do this or that. If the people in the city are wandering around the streets, this is really bad for the child. If others know that it will also damage the reputation of the royal family, you can't..." Concubine Rong couldn't stop the worries about the child in the letter and immediately pleaded with mercy.

Li Junhua shook his head, "You are wrong. When I was as old as Zhaoji, I was so old that I was still stumbling around on the streets and alleys after school. At that time, Chen Ping and other guards followed me, and there were no such thing as Zhaoji, and my uncle was taking care of me. At that time, there were many troubles. This is the education of my Li family. Do you think Zhaoji learned bad things with the third brother?

But you are wrong, it's ridiculously wrong. The third brother is teaching Zhaoji how to be the emperor."

"This... what is this?" Rong Fei didn't dare to think so, and she didn't even dare to agree.

She and Li Junhua were also in love, but the problem was that the royal family was the royal family after all, and some words could not be said, such as when it was the crown prince, Li Zhaoji was the emperor's only son, and now it has been proved that the queen could not be released anymore. Li Zhaoji was the eldest son and should be made the crown prince. But over the years, no matter who it was, whether it was indirect or indirect, the emperor refused. There were even rumors that the emperor was preparing to be brothers and brothers, and he chose King Yu as his successor. The imperial edict after the plaque in the palace was written with Li Junwei's name.

"The prerequisite for being an emperor is to be a commoner. If you don't even know what the people are and want, how to be an emperor?" Li Junhua said, and then sighed: "Zhaoji is the third generation of the royal family in our dynasty. With the efforts of my father and brothers, there are no opportunities for Zhaoji to make achievements in this generation, but if you don't even know the suffering of the people, you either become a fool or fool the ministers.

And you see, the little William in Prince Yu’s mansion is from Europe, and his father is also a little king. It can be said that he is a prince, but he still travels thousands of miles to Shenjing. This is education."

Li Junhua was very satisfied with his younger brother's personal education. He knew very well that the elderly emperor was not prepared to interfere in the prince's education, and King Yu was the most grateful for the emperor's heart. The children he educated may not behave properly or have the spirit of a gentleman, but they must have strengths and will not be deceived and deceived by others.

Concubine Rong waved her hand and asked everyone to retreat, and then said, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't say that Zhaoji is your only son. It's probably inappropriate to bring King Yu around."

"Isn't it right? What's wrong? You suspect that he will harm Zhaoji, haha, it's a joke. Don't forget that he is still the matchmaker for us." Li Junhua didn't care at all. He raised his hand to hold Rong Fei who was about to kneel down to apologize, and said, "You have been married to me for nearly ten years and have given birth to several children. Since we have said this today, we just started talking about it.

You can ask questions at will today, and I will answer the truth. Whether you are angry or scolding you, after today, just pretend that everything has not happened."

Of course, Concubine Rong would not think that everything he said today would be like nothing happened, but she knew that today's opportunity was rare, and for her son, she still wanted to win a fight, so she asked: "Your Majesty, you have been slow to make Zhaoji the crown prince. Have you ever had the heart of brothers and brothers? He is so beloved of King Yu. He is overseas and is fully responsible for the foreign affairs of the empire. He is in China and even his only descendant is fully committed. Are you not worried that King Yu has the desire to covet it?"

"Don't worry." Li Junhua said with certainty, and he said: "I would rather believe that my queen and concubine are more ambitious than that of Wu Zetian in my family."

"Why does the emperor trust Prince Yu so much?" Rong Fei asked in disbelief of Li Junhua's attitude.

Li Junhua said directly: "This empire was founded by my father. He was the founding emperor of the empire. It is natural that everyone thinks that the most important thing for my father is the throne. But everyone is wrong. The most important thing for my father is not the throne, so he passed it on to me."

"What is the most important thing about the father? Who is it passed on to? The elder brother of India?" Concubine Rong was puzzled.

Li Junhua said: "I don't know what that is. Junhong and I have been guessing and searching since we were teenagers, and there has been no answer. Until the third brother made a mistake in India some time ago, I communicated with my elder brother. He mentioned this in the letter. The third brother revealed some of his feelings to the elder brother in Agra.

According to the third brother, my father's talents were inherited by my elder brother, and my father's career was inherited by me, and what he inherited was his father's ideal.

You may know that the father and the third brother are the most intimate, but what you don’t know is that there is a secret between these two people, which is a very important secret, and no third person knows it. Perhaps that is my father’s ideal, maybe I don’t know this in my life. I have been an emperor for twenty years, except for wanting to know what that secret is, the biggest doubt is why my father didn’t tell me. I can’t think of what kind of ideal is that the emperor of the most powerful empire in the world cannot complete. But in the past two years, I have gradually understood that once the shackles of the throne are put on, some things cannot be done.

But my father's ideal is contrary to the throne. Once he becomes an emperor, he cannot inherit that ideal. If he wants to inherit that ideal, he cannot be an emperor."

Concubine Rong shook her head: "I don't know what you are talking about. I'm worried that this is just a trap. Perhaps it was King Yu who set up a suspicion array."

"No. Except for that secret, the third brother treats me very sincerely. He will not deceive me. Just like in Prince Yu's mansion, he must beat Zhaoji in front of you. His head is very smart. If he wanted to seize the throne, he would have succeeded in twenty years. Moreover, he attaches great importance to family affection. His father did not want to have the Xuanwu Gate disaster back then, so he abdicated in me, who had just become an adult in the prosperous years of Spring and Autumn. The third brother also withdrew from the throne early to fight for brotherhood." Li Junhua said firmly.

Rong Fei's face looked ugly: "You said this, although it dispelled my doubts, I felt even more uneasy. What kind of ideals and secrets are they likely to be contrary to the throne. You are the brother of King Yu, and maybe he will not threaten you, but Zhao Ji is far away from him. Will he threaten Zhao Ji for that ideal in the future?"

Li Junhua laughed: "Concubine Rong, you have to know that the third brother and I are only a few years apart. Why did you expect that I would leave before him? In addition, who said that the one who inherited my position would definitely be Zhao Ji? In my eyes, even if Zhao Ji is my only son, he is not the only heir. The third brother's sons may also inherit my position, but I have never said it. Of course, when it is equally excellent and even worse, I will give priority to my own son, but I always have to have a choice.

Haven't you always wanted to know what was written on the imperial edict after the plaque of Fengxian Palace? I'll let you take it to show you."

Li Junhua called the chief guard to ask him to get the imperial edict. Soon, the imperial edict was taken. After Rong opened it and found that the imperial edict was written very clearly. Once the emperor passed away, the Supreme Emperor would decide who would inherit the throne. It was neither Li Zhaoji whom everyone took for granted nor Li Junwei rumored.

Li Junhua said bluntly: "Only when children become adults and show enough abilities, I will make a choice, and his name will appear in this imperial edict. This imperial edict is like this before children become adults."

"But my father is old," said Rong Fei.

Li Junhua smiled and pointed the imperial edict: "Then this person will be replaced by the third old regency."

"But.........."

"If the third brother is gone, this person will be King Cheng Junhong and Brother Cheng Li Hai." Before Rong Fei finished speaking, Li Junhua listed two more names. I think there are still several names in his head.

"Does King Yu know what you are talking about today? Do these people know?" Rong Fei asked.

Li Junhua shook his head: "They don't know, especially the third brother cannot let the third brother know. In fact, the third brother is still eager to make Zhaoji the crown prince. It is because of this that he urgently took Zhaoji away from you when he was so young. He was worried that if he grew up for a few years, he would be unable to twist it. You are the third person who knows this plan."

"Who is the second person, father?" Rong Fei asked.

Li Junhua shook his head, and Concubine Rong asked again: "Mother?"

Li Junhua still shook his head, and he said directly: "It's the queen, and the queen still keeps an imperial edict written by me."

When Rong Fei heard this, she fell into a long silence. Li Junhua said, "I'm telling you this today, just to tell you to be nice to the third brother and not always suspicious. I know that you are all thinking about Zhaoji becoming the crown prince. Believe me, the third brother and you are thinking the same. I am the same, but the difference is that you think that position belongs to Zhaoji, and the third brother and I want to train him to become qualified crown princess.

I don’t know if you can educate Zhaoji as a qualified crown prince, but I know that the palace is definitely not a good place for education. When my father does not participate in the next generation of education, I am sure that the third brother is a suitable candidate than you and me. He has a great influence on me, especially in the position of the prince.

I can even tell you this, if one day the third brother told me that Zhaoji is a qualified crown prince, then I would make him the crown prince without hesitation, and even surrender directly to him."

"You are trusting him so much?" Concubine Rong was still incredible.

Li Junhua said: "This kind of trust is not just because of brotherhood. In fact, since I became emperor, I have doubted and tested many times, but it turned out to be slapped in the face. I am tired of this suspicion and regretted it. Since the facts have slapped me in the face countless times, there is no need to be slapped again. If you are worried that Zhaoji will not be able to get the position of prince and want to do something for him, it is very simple. If you work harder, the chances of success of your two sons are always higher than that of one, right?"

Once upon a time, Li Junhua also wanted to have more children and be blessed. With more sons, he would have more choices. However, after he listed Prince Yu as the choice of heirs, this idea became much weaker. But he did not refuse to have more sons. In fact, he also had an ambition, one son inherited his throne, and one son went to the third brother to inherit his father's ideal.

"Emperor, what would happen if the father knew about your thoughts?" Rong Fei knew that the most influence on the emperor was the Supreme Emperor who had long stopped asking about government affairs.
