I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 503: Being a father is difficult! Accompanying the prince to study!

Han Shao didn't plan to stay on the grassland for long.

After all, he had just gotten married, so he had to give Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan some face and consider their feelings.

As a couple, mutual understanding and appropriate empathy are the key to long-term stability.

So considering that the time that each of them would stay at her mother's house would not be too long, Han Shao could only shorten his trip as much as possible and deal with the rest of the things after he had avoided this storm.

There is nothing much to say about this first day.

Wu Wan He Ya had just given birth and was still very weak both physically and mentally. After Han Shao returned from the Holy Mountain, he stayed almost all the time by their side.

It could be said that he was making amends out of guilt, or that he deliberately made such a gesture to ensure the safety of the mother and child in some way.

Generally speaking, Han Shao was not bored by this, and even seemed to enjoy it.

Especially the way he held the little guy in his arms and teased him with a smile, not to mention the maids and servants, even Abaoji couldn't help but show a bit of envy.

"Your Highness, it is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes to be born as the son of Your Highness."

In the inner halls of the Longcheng Palace, Abaoji was the one who had no taboos.

After all, how can a castrated monk protect men and women?

Faced with Abaoji's half-truth and half-flattering flattery, Han Shao did not divert his attention away from the little guy.

It's really amazing to say the least.

Not long after that, the ugly guy who was just born had grown a little taller.

Not only did the baby's skin become white and translucent, but even the eyebrows and eyes seemed to extend silently.

Looking closely, Han Shao actually saw some of his own shadow in it.

Han Shao blurted out with emotion in his heart.

"This boy is like me. He will become a hero in the future!"

But at this moment, the voices of Karasuma and Yarou were heard from behind the curtain behind him.

"I just want him to live in peace all his life."

Han Shao was stunned for a moment, his eyes changed for a while, and finally he agreed with no expression of joy or anger.

"Alright."

As he said this, Han Shao chuckled as if to reverse the change in atmosphere at that moment.

"He Ya is the one who has the most insight! I don't care about heroes or bears!"

"As long as I am here, I will be able to support the world! As long as he is safe, that's all that matters are!"

"Ping An, Ping An, what do you think of giving him a nickname, Ping An?"

Han Kun, whose nickname is Ping An.

The former is powerful, but the latter is mediocre.

It seemed contradictory and incongruous, but Han Shao could clearly feel that Wu Wan He Ya behind the curtain seemed to be relieved.

"Well, I'm safe and sound. I'll listen to you, my dear."

Ordinary families all hope that their sons and daughters will become successful.

But for people like them, being born mediocre is sometimes a blessing.

However, Karasuma Kazuya, who had just become a mother, realized this early on out of her maternal instinct.

In this regard, Han Shao obeyed her wishes, but he also felt a little complicated.

Today, this little guy was born as the eldest son, and as a new father, he instinctively gave him everything.

But what about when the second, third, fourth...children are born one by one?
Just like Li Er, who was wise all his life, who can say that he was not as ecstatic as himself when his eldest son Li Chengqian was just born?
But later, when Li Tai and other sons came into being, didn’t they cause so many troubles?

This is under the premise that Li Chengqian is also the legitimate son of Guanyin's maid, but this little guy Han Kun is not.

So...people change.

Including him as a father.

Want to be completely fair?

It’s not that it’s impossible to do, but at least it’s very difficult.

Unless he, as a father, can truly achieve eternal immortality, with him in control, no matter how many ideas these little guys have, they can't turn the tables!
"But... is there really anyone in this world who can achieve immortality and everlasting existence?"

With so many predecessors to compare with, Han Shao felt that there was little hope.

At most, you can live longer.

If this happens, will I encounter the tragic fate of having my loved ones die before me?
When Han Shao thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Looking at the little guy in his arms who was still giggling at him, Han Shao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"As a father, it's hard!"

As if sensing Han Shao's sadness, the little fellow who was giggling a moment ago pouted his lips immediately afterwards.

Han Shao was caught off guard by this sudden change of attitude and was at a loss as to what to do.

Fortunately, at this time, the maid in the palace reminded her in time.

"My Lord, it's time for the young master to rest."

Han Shao finally came to his senses.

When a baby is born, its spirit and soul are not yet fully stable, so it is often nourished by sleep.

The reason why this little guy is much more energetic than ordinary babies is that he has been in the womb for too long. He is a natural anomaly.

Han Shao handed the little guy to a maid to coax him to sleep. Fearing to disturb the little guy, he immediately told Wuhuan and Ya, and then left the inner hall with Abaoji.

……

"Abaoji."

Walking in this majestic grassland palace, Han Shao suddenly called out.

Abaoji hurriedly responded.

But Han Shao's next words made him stiffen and feel a little cold.

"Do you hate your Khan?"

As Abaoji lowered his eyes, his face turned pale and sweat appeared on his forehead.

Hate? How can I not hate?
The importance that men in the world attach to the two pounds of flesh between their legs is far beyond women's imagination.

Qiming Khan, who was once the Left Wise King, saved his life with a casual remark, but the result was a hundred times more painful than killing him!
Otherwise, why would he, regardless of everything, instigate the former Zuo Xian King to collude and make peace with the Yong people right under Shi Bi's nose?

But now Han Shao's words revealed his thoughts.

Abaoji's eyes wandered and he looked around carefully before he nodded in acknowledgement.

"I dare not deceive my Lord, I hate it."

Han Shao laughed when he saw this.

"To be honest, you are so cautious. It seems that you are not confident in your position as the Vice Admiral of the Six Gates!"

There is no doubt that these words had a greater impact on Abaoji than the previous one.

After all, the word "lack of confidence" is already questioning his ability.

Abaoji didn't care about anything else and rushed to save the situation.

"Your Majesty! I am just used to being cautious!"

"But in this Dragon City Palace, I am still confident."

Just being cautious?

Han Shao smiled without saying much, just nodded.

"That's good."

"Do your best, don't let me down, and I will never let anyone down."

"By the way, I see that you like Kun'er very much..."

Having said this, Han Shao paused, and then changed the subject.

"I almost forgot, before you entered the palace, did you have any offspring to continue your bloodline?"

Abaoji was a little bit unable to keep up with the pace of Han Shao's speech.

In addition, Han Shao's words touched his sore spot, so he was silent for a few moments before responding with a hint of sadness and regret.

"My Lord, no."

The most painful thing in the world is that you didn't cherish something when you had it.

It’s too late to regret after you lose it.

"That's it..."

Han Shao seemed to be feeling sorry for Abaoji, "What a pity." His cheap father-in-law could keep such a carefree person by his side for so long and even rely on him as a confidant. Han Shao really didn't know what was going on in his brain.

It seems that Shi Bi's evaluation of his good brother is really pertinent and to the point.

Intelligence is just a flash of inspiration; stupidity and naivety are the essence.

And now, in the end, he, as his son-in-law, has to worry about him.

After looking at Abaoji with emotion for a while, Han Shao suddenly sighed.

"It was only after I had Kun'er that I realized that a person's life is ultimately incomplete if he cannot enjoy the affection of others."

"A Baoji, you have done a great service to me."

Abaoji was so grateful for the word "merit" that he kowtowed in haste to express his gratitude.

"It is the honor of my life to die for you, my Lord. I dare not take credit for my small efforts in front of you, my Lord!"

Don’t dare to take credit?

You see, it is extremely difficult to learn good things, but it is easy to learn bad things.

These barbarians from the grasslands quickly learned the hypocritical words of the Yong people.

Han Shao laughed in his heart and helped him up with a wave of his sleeves.

"Achievements are achievements, and mistakes are mistakes."

"If I don't reward merits and don't punish mistakes, wouldn't that make me a fool who can't tell right from wrong?"

Seeing Han Shao's dissatisfied tone, Abaoji said he didn't dare.

At this moment, Han Shao suddenly changed the subject again.

"How about this, in recognition of your contribution, I will allow you to adopt a son to serve you. How do you think?"

As he spoke, Han Shao seemed to really be thinking about him.

"Well, it's best to develop it from a young age, so that I can really get close to you."

"In the future, when I call you 'Father' or 'Abba', it will come from the heart."

"When you are old and frail, I will inherit the family business and expand your family name, and I will worship you as my ancestor!"

When people are young, they don’t have any feelings about many things.

But once you reach a certain age, certain needs engraved in your genes will almost instinctively fill your heart.

For example, inheritance of offspring...

Hearing Han Shao's words, which seemed to be thinking for him but were actually bewitching, Abaoji's mind was suddenly moved.

Abaoji became even more excited at the thought that one day he would have someone to call him "Aba" and that someone would worship him as an ancestor.

"If this is really possible! I, your servant, would like to thank you for your grace!"

Upon hearing this, Han Shao looked at him carefully, and seeing that he did not look perfunctory, he burst out laughing.

"Okay! Look around first. If you find a suitable child, bring him to me and let me take a look."

"After all, ordinary children are not worthy of my admiral Abaoji!"

Such intimate words made even a man like Abaoji feel a little hot-blooded and angry.

What surprised Han Shao was that Abaoji said it in an instant after he said it casually.

"It's just a small matter, how dare I trouble you, Your Majesty!"

"But I dare not deceive you, my Lord. I have a suitable candidate now."

"Since the Lord has shown me mercy, I can take him as my son!"

Han Shao couldn't help but feel a little curious when he heard this.

"Whose child is this?"

Abaoji did not answer but asked instead.

"I wonder if Your Majesty knows... this person called Goli?"

Han Shao took a while to react before he dug out this person from the corner of his memory.

Back then, Ge Li led 3,000 cavalrymen to chase his 300 remaining soldiers, but in the end, they were defeated by Han Shao alone...

hiss--

Seeing Han Shao looking at him strangely, Abaoji showed his hatred calmly.

"Goli had a posthumous child, which was found by a slave."

"I have been hesitating about what to do, but now I have an idea!"

If Goli hadn't been so stupid as to commit suicide again and again, how could he have ended up in such a situation today?

So if we talk about hatred, his brother is the root of it!

It’s a pity that Ge Li died too early and too ridiculously, so it was never Abaoji’s turn to take revenge.

However, after he came to power, he did not do nothing.

At least the children, father, and brothers that his brother left behind have now been buried in graves that are now very high.

As for his wives, concubines and beauties, he accepted them with a smile.

Whether it can be used or not, just put it aside for now. What matters is that you feel comfortable.

The only troublesome thing is the posthumous child.

But now the gift given by Han Shao perfectly solved Abaoji's troubles.

"After all, what could be happier than having the offspring of your enemy recognize you, the 'thief', as their father?"

Seeing the distorted expression of joy on Abaoji's face at this moment, Han Shao didn't know how to comment except to sigh, "Eunuchs are really perverted."

After complaining in his heart for a while, Han Shao thought about it for a while and prepared to follow him.

Even if he is the son of your enemy, the longer you keep him, the more sunk costs you invest in him and the harder it is to let him go.

In this way, there will be concern.

With this premise, Han Shao would be happy to see it happen as long as the goal is achieved.

To put it more darkly, this complicated and twisted father-son relationship might actually be a great bargaining chip in the end, right?

Just like that, Han Shao patched up a hidden danger on the grassland with just a few words.

But this is only one of Han Shao's purposes.

By the way, Han Shao then said something to Abaoji.

"When your kid grows up a little, send him to Kun'er."

When Abaoji heard this, his face changed and he almost thought that the adopted son he had just been about to acknowledge would repeat his mistakes.

Fortunately, Han Shao continued.

"When the time comes, Kun'er will have someone to accompany him when he studies or practices martial arts."

Reading with your children is a very good system.

It can not only avoid the temperamental defects of offspring raised by women, but also play the role of winning over and balancing subordinates.

The former goes without saying.

Accompanying the prince in studying, although this may sound unpleasant in the next generation, it is an honor in this world and at this time.

The checks and balances of the latter are also easy to understand.

The proton's mass can also be called a hostage.

The only thing to worry about is that the 'Prince' will gain power early and easily cause civil unrest.

But in Han Shao's opinion, this kind of worry is a bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Mr. Han has the power of heaven and earth, so why should he worry about these things?

As expected by Han Shao, Abaoji understood the truth instantly after hearing the words "reading companion" and this time he was truly moved to tears of gratitude.

"Your Majesty has made far-reaching plans for me, and I am so grateful! Even if I die a thousand times, I can never repay even one percent of your kindness!"

Long-term plans for you?
You think too much.

I'm doing this for my son, do you think you're worthy?

But since he thought so, Han Shao naturally would not deny it.

Frequently bringing inspiration to those under your command is also a must for those in high positions.

As time goes by, to use the words of the three suns, it can be summed up in two simple words.

Yes! Love!
Well, it’s not finished yet.
