Chapter 123 Family Country, Family Love

Shen Liuzhen thought his eyes were dazzled, so he pulled it over and closed it for a look, only to see that there was a bright red spot on the cover of the book, which landed abruptly on the corner.

Sometimes it is common for cinnabar to fall on books. After all, cinnabar is often used when the prince is reviewing memorials, he thought.

But the crown prince hadn't been to court for half a month. If it was cinnabar, it was still wet, and he felt something was wrong, so he subconsciously stretched out his finger and put it between his nose to smell it...

……is blood! !
Shen Liuzhen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly looked behind him...

Inside the dimly lit palace, Prince Shi Yu's innocent white robes didn't seem to be a serious problem, and he was talking to Wu Lei in a normal way.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the fruit that had fallen on the ground, but he looked around at the palace that had been emptied by him, and there was no place to put it, so he could only hold it in his hand.

Shen Liuzhen knew that he shouldn't make a fuss out of a molehill, but still couldn't help worrying, so he directly put the book in one volume and secretly put it on his body, planning to leave for a while, and show it to Ulei to discuss it.

As soon as he hid the book, Prince Shi Yu Tianzhen and Wu Lei came out, both holding a small stack of books in their hands. Seeing that Shen Liuzhen had already tidied up a place, he put the books in the vacant place .

There are no books in the bedroom, and there is nothing to do...

Shi Yu looked around naively, and the three of them were a little embarrassed.So he pushed the books on the two seats on the ground aside, and called the two juniors to sit down together.

It's just that as soon as the three of them were quiet, the reality that had been unable to escape began to brew in the air, and gradually they couldn't escape.

Wu Lei suddenly seemed to have collapsed, sobbed twice and cried out, kowtowed to Shi Yutian, lay down on the ground and said:

"Father, I'm sorry for you. I told His Majesty that you can't rebel, but he said that I'm young, so don't meddle in things I don't understand..."

Shi Yu innocently looked sad, and quietly listened to Wu Lei's cry.

"One of you is my royal grandfather and the other is my father and king. They are my favorite people. I don't want to see you like this, but I really don't know what to do...Father...I'm sorry for you .” Ulay straightened up, crying until he wiped away his tears.

Shen Liuzhen watched sadly from the side, and couldn't help the red eyes.

Prince Shi Yutian felt sad, and said in a sad tone: "Why do you have to take such a big crime on yourself? The matter between Gu and your imperial grandfather is not just between us, there is a country across here. Hu Han two people. It is not so much a family matter, but more a state matter. What is wrong with you?"

Wu Lei was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped away his tears, and asked, "Father means that the crux of the matter is the conflict between the Hu and Han clans, so... is there a solution?"

Shi Yu looked at Wu Lei innocently and fell silent. The light in his warm and deep eyes gradually disappeared, like a deep pool after the moonlight disappeared. He said:

"...What can be done about this? The Hu people, headed by the Xianbei people, are very different from the Han people in terms of bloodlines and customs. Who do you think is willing to make concessions to the other party?"

Shi Yu paused innocently, let out a long sigh, and said with some helplessness: "Although... the barbarians who used to live by water and grass, relying on the wild and wild growth of the world, they couldn't find a way to survive in the city walls of the Han people.

This is also the reason why the Han people were used in the central government, and they studied the history books and classics of the Han people and the laws of governing the country from the prince and Taifu since childhood.

However, because of the difficult living environment, the barbarians had a strong military force, so they were able to fight in and stand above the Han people, so they naturally looked down on the weak force of the Han people.

As for the Han people, they have in their hands the survival method of using manpower to overcome the sky, which is much better than the Hu people, who rely entirely on the favor of the sky to live.Therefore, even if they were the ones who were defeated, they also looked down on the Hu people, and the Hu people have always been uncivilized barbarians in the mouth of the Han people..."

Prince Shi Yu Tianzhen spread his hands and said: "The two parties have their own strengths, and they suppress each other. Neither of them looks down on the other. What do you think is the solution?"

Wu Lei and Shen Liuzhen looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes, then lowered their eyes and began to think silently.

Shi Yu Tianzhen also looked up at the sky, thinking.But he suddenly smiled, a little dejected, and murmured:

"Forget it...these have nothing to do with Gu anymore."

Wu Lei and Shen Liuzhen were both shocked when they heard that. After a while, Wu Lei persuaded him, "Father, you are still the prince. Grandfather will definitely change his mind in a few days."

Shi Yu just smiled innocently, the smile was transparent and miserable.He actually understood very well in his heart.He has been given up by his father because he does not meet the expectations of the prince in his heart.

In the past, when he went out to fight, as long as he could ensure the continuous supply of food and grass for the army, he was a qualified and appreciated son, a qualified prince, because he had done his duty.

But now, there is no one who can better represent the interests of the Xianbei people than His Majesty the Emperor. He is the leader of the Xianbei people who advocate force in reality and ideals.

His way of thinking is that of Xianbei people, and he is always considered by Xianbei people.

A Xianbei who advocates force, how can he tolerate his son becoming more and more like a Han Chinese.I am more and more inclined to speak for the Han people, think and do things like the Han people.

But...Father, the reason why you were able to keep fighting for years without running out of food and grass was precisely because the minister learned from the Han people and used the Han people to govern the country.

You think my son has changed, but actually my son has never changed, it is you who changed...

He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he started to take care of state affairs at the age of 12. At that time, he had just learned all the words, which meant he didn't understand anything.

He got up to study every morning before going to court, and was still reading memorials in the middle of the night.

There are so many things to learn every day.

Learn in memorials, learn in practice, and find time to learn allusions in historical records.Listen to the Taifu's explanation in private, and listen to the ministers' arguments in the court.

From the beginning, I didn't understand at all, and then I gradually understood, and then later, when I encountered a problem, I could think of a solution by myself.This process is so long and tormented that he only feels tired now, but he can't remember what he has learned and done in detail...

He really felt tired... especially after being tired for so long, and after he had a guess of treason, this tiredness began to penetrate into the marrow of his bones...

He couldn't help but start to wonder, what was the point of working so hard and desperately all this time?
It seems... meaningless...

Wu Lei and Shen Liuzhen saw Prince Shi Yu's naive expression change.

Shen Liuzhen was startled by the heart ashes revealed in his eyes.He didn't want to see the prince like this, so he said quickly:
"His Royal Highness...you should write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor. Don't talk about state affairs, just talk about your own thoughts and thoughts as a son. You and Your Majesty are father and son after all. Blood is thicker than water. No matter how bad the state affairs are, It can't stop your father-son relationship."
