"The child has seen the father,"

"Okay, come and sit down," Gao Changgong who was leaning on the desk raised his head, with a loving smile on his face, and when he was happy to sit down, he said, "You will be a father in two months."

"Yes," Gao Xing smiled and nodded, with anticipation and fear flashing in his eyes.

Gao Changgong sighed softly, and said with emotion: "Yesterday you seemed to be a baby, and you will be a father in a blink of an eye. Time flies, and I am old too,"

Gao Xing shook his head and denied: "Why did the emperor say that, you are in your prime, strong and healthy, full of energy, how can you grow old?"

"Haha," Gao Changgong said with a light smile, "As a human being, birth, old age, sickness and death will happen, and being a father is no exception." Gently waving his hand stopped Gao Xing from speaking, Gao Changgong looked at Xing Xing and continued, "Xing'er, now You have grown up, and you don't need to protect you from the wind and rain for your father anymore,"

Gao Xing frowned, and continued to be confused: "Father, you are..."

Gao Changgong's face suddenly became extremely serious, he looked at Gao Xing with burning eyes, and said in a low voice, "I plan to pass on the throne to you for my father,"

"What," Gao Xing was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the chair, looked at Gao Changgong in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice after a long while: "Daddy, you are in the prime of your life, how could you make such a sudden decision?"

"The throne will be passed on to you after all, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later," Gao Changgong said with a smile.

"But," Gao Xing wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason for a while, so he frowned anxiously.

"Xing'er, as a father, I know that you have lofty aspirations and are talented in the world. Now my existence will become your hindrance, and it will not benefit Daqi's long-term development,"

"But father, I am still young,"

He was interrupted by Gao Changgong before finishing his happy words, "Ganluo Twelve Candidates, my son has fought in the South and North for several years, retreated from the Turks, and conquered the Zhou Kingdom. You will inherit the great rule, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who dares to refuse to accept it, "

Gao Changgong's words were sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were full of pride and pride.

A warm current gushed out from the bottom of my heart, and quickly flowed to my limbs, my happy body trembled involuntarily, and there was water in my deep eyes.

In history, how many fathers and sons and brothers turned against each other and killed each other for the supreme throne, whether it was Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty or Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether it was abuse or praise, these facts could not be covered up.

However, at such a young age, Gao Changgong gave up the position that so many people dream of but craves for, without even the slightest hesitation. Gao Changgong understands that this is his father's love for him. Gao Changgong's love is not as delicate and tender as Zheng's. But it is as thick as the earth.

"Xing'er, being a father for so many years, I'm tired of court affairs. Now that the borders of Qi State are settled and the people's hearts are in the right place, it's just time for you to make great achievements. As a father, I want to have a good rest and spend more time with your mother."

Gao Changgong pursed his lips tightly. He could feel the tiredness and pain in Gao Changgong's heart. He knew that Gao Changgong had never been happy since he became the throne. His brother from the royal family blamed himself unceasingly. His whole life's efforts were actually just to get the approval of his father and family, but his background made this little wish out of reach.

Seeing the white hair on the temples and the new wrinkles on Gao Changgong's forehead, Gao Changgong suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He couldn't bear to see the strong man in front of him suffering in such a lonely way.

After a long time, Gao Xing took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, looked at Gao Changgong solemnly, and said firmly, "Daddy, don't worry, the child will not let you down,"

"Winter is coming, it is not suitable to go to war. The Turks and the Zhou Kingdom are newly defeated. They will not invade in a short time. The Chen Kingdom is busy suppressing Sima Fu's rebellion, and is unable to go north. We just take this opportunity to rest and recuperate."

After a pause, Gao Changgong said again: "There are still two months before the New Year, taking advantage of being a father with some prestige, I just reorganized all the soldiers and horses, and it will be easier when you ascend the throne."

"Thank you dad,"

……

Chen Guo, Jiankang.

"I see my father, I respectfully wish my father good health and a long life without bounds," Shixing King Chen Shuling knelt down in front of the bed, looking at Chen Xu, who was obviously much older and weaker, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Ling'er, flatten your body quickly," Chen Xu coughed lightly, sat up with the help of the palace servants, with a gratified smile on his somewhat pale and swollen face, and slowly said: "Ling'er, the remnants of the previous dynasty Sima Fu's heart is never dead, he conspired to rebel, harmed the common people, disturbed my Dachen turbulence, and made my father a headache. Fortunately, my son was smart and good at fighting, and finally got rid of the root of the disaster and regained the lost land. You will be rewarded heavily."

Speaking of this, Chen Xu couldn't help coughing a few more times. In the early years when he was fighting everywhere, he already had many serious and old diseases on his body. In addition, several times the Northern Expedition was unfavorable. Just bedridden, so weak.

After this great victory in suppressing the rebellion, Chen Xu's spirit obviously improved a lot. As soon as Chen Shu Lingshi returned to Jiankang, he was summoned to face the saint. After panting for a while, Chen Xu said again: "Ling'er, tell me, what reward do you want?" , Royal Father will try his best to satisfy your request, "

"Royal father, this time my son and minister were able to defeat the rebels. One is that the father is so brave and martial, and he is deeply loved by the people. The second is that General Wu commanded well, and the son and minister assisted him. There is not much credit. Kuang Er The ministers are the subjects of the Great Chen, and it is their duty to fight for the country, how can they take credit for it?"

Chen Shuling looked at Chen Xu sincerely, and said sincerely: "I only hope that my father will recover soon, and that my great Chen's country will become more and more stable and prosperous,"

"Okay, you are worthy of being my son," Chen Xu's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and he sighed, "If all my sons are like you, why worry about nothing happening?"

"Father, we brothers all want to share our father's worries, but we have different personalities, so we focus on different aspects. My son likes to wield knives and guns since he was a child, and he got some fame by following the senior generals in the court. The talent of a big brother is nothing compared to that," Chen Shuling's expression was sincere and humble.

"If the crown prince has you," Chen Xu suddenly stopped talking, frowned, and then said with a smile: "Ling'er, you will be rewarded for your achievements. You should be rewarded for your great achievements. Whatever you want, just do it Explain to your father, "

Chen Shuling didn't answer and asked instead: "Father, my son heard that the envoys of Zhou State came to discuss an alliance with our country and conspire to attack Qi. I don't know if there is such a thing."

"But there is this matter." Chen Xugang's stretched brows frowned again, his face was a little gloomy, and his cloudy eyes were full of anxiety. He, Bo Khan, was also beheaded. Unexpectedly, the down-and-out royal son would have soared into the sky. He hated the traitor Sima Fu. If he hadn't caused trouble for no reason, the Qi Kingdom would have collapsed long ago. How could it be like it is today? furious,,"

As soon as Sima Fu was mentioned, a strong anger and murderous look appeared on Chen Xu's face, and his hands tightly grasped the quilt under him, wishing to tear it to pieces to vent his hatred.

"Father, please calm down," Chen Shuling hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "Sima Fu's chief minister has ordered someone to hang him in the sun at the Meridian Gate, and his body has been crushed to the ground. Father must not become angry because of him. "

After a pause, Chen Shuling said again: "If it weren't for his Bo Khan's carelessness, the happy boy would never have thought of winning, and Zhou Guo would not have retreated early. However, even if Qi Guo won, his own consumption would not be small. Qi has been fighting continuously for these years, and the people have long since Tired, the national power is not as good as before, he is not difficult, "

"What's my son's idea?" Chen Xu looked at Chen Shuling with interest and said.

The brave, warlike, courteous Chen Shuling has a very high status in his heart. If Chen Shubao was not the eldest son, he would be the best candidate for the crown prince. Now that Chen Shuling returned from the rebellion, he removed the enemy in Chen Xu's heart and made him I love Chen Shuling even more.

Chen Shuling raised his brows and said frankly: "Father, Qi's prestige is growing day by day. If we let it grow bigger, it will be difficult to deal with in the future. We should promise Zhou Guo, join hands with him, and send troops to attack Qi together. As long as we keep pace at every step, we will surely be able to defeat Qi." Will drag down Qi Guosheng, "

"It makes sense, no matter what, we must curb the development of Qi, and this battle is inevitable," Chen Xu nodded. "The rebel forces have been wiped out, and General Wu can just get away and prepare for the attack on Qi."

"Father, my son has something to ask," Chen Shuling said with a serious face.

Chen Xu was a little surprised and said: "Tell me,"

"Thinking that happiness is not enough to be a weak crown, but has such a great name, my son refuses to accept it, and wants to join the battle with General Wu, and kill that happiness, so as to boost my prestige."

"Alright, then I will appoint you as deputy commander to assist General Wu in preparing for the battle," Chen Xu agreed after hesitating for a while. Chen Shuling acted prudently and had outstanding military talents.

"Your Majesty," Chen Shuling was about to speak, when an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Chen Xu frowned suddenly, his face was rather ugly, but a playful smile flashed across Chen Shuling's face.

"What happened,"

"Your Majesty," the palace servants who came in hurriedly took a look at Chen Shuling, then moved closer, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince invited Zhou Guo's envoys to go to the East Palace, but because of a singer who had a fight with someone, they fought violently." , accidentally injured the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom, "

"Bastard,"

A flash of anger suddenly flashed across Chen Xu's face, his face turned red, and his breathing became very heavy. The crown prince, Chen Shubao, ignored government affairs and liked to have fun with singing and dancing prostitutes all day. To be so ignorant of the general situation, to compete with others for the sake of a humble woman, to use force, not to mention losing Chen Guo's face, and very likely to ruin his own affairs.

"Pass down my will, let the prince come to see me quickly,"
