Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1199 Chances of a Fair Play

"Father, is everything you said true? Can I really fight for it?" Xiao Ran was full of hope as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Emperor Xixuan knew that he was suffering from a heart attack at the moment, and if he was hit, it would be even worse. He was silent for a while before saying, "If you can get it, it's yours. If you can't get it, then it proves that it's not yours." It belongs to you, let nature take its course."

As the highest ruler in the country, he is responsible for the rise and fall of the entire country. To create an environment for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and to resist foreign enemies, he has to pay much more than ordinary people. Satisfying himself in private matters is just to let himself He had enough energy to devote himself to his family, country and world without distraction, so Emperor Xixuan didn't think there was anything wrong with taking by force.

Moreover, is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the king is the subject of the king.

The entire Xixuan belongs to their Xiao family, let alone a woman.

As an emperor, he wants the wind and the rain, and there is nothing he can't get. If Chu Qingyan is not Xiao Xu's fiancée, maybe he will betroth her to Xiao Ran with a flick of his pen. His son He rarely asks him for anything, so if there is, he will satisfy him.

As long as you are in a high position, no one dares to question any of your decisions.

Those kings who have been infamous for thousands of years are just because they are not strong enough.

History has always been written by the victors.

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and he felt that what his father said made sense.

He immediately regained his spirits, "Father, can you help my son?"

Emperor Xixuan looked at him fixedly, "What do you want Father to help you?"

Xiao Ran sat up straight, and said earnestly, "I expressed my heart to Qingyan a few days ago, but she rejected Erchen, and Erchen felt very uncomfortable at the time, but when I think about it later, it should be because she and the eldest brother There is a marriage contract, and she doesn't want to resist the order, so she dare not agree to the son, so the son wants a chance to compete fairly."

Emperor Xixuan felt that this son was a bit bold, but it was rare to see him so persistent in one thing, so he couldn't help being curious, "What kind of fair opportunity?"

Xiao Ran said without hesitation, "I want my father to dissolve Qingyan's engagement with the eldest brother. When she is free of marriage constraints, she will definitely be able to make the most sincere choice."

This answer made Emperor Xixuan, who was used to big scenes, stunned. He didn't expect him to be so bold.

"Are you really sure that Miss Chu doesn't like your elder brother, isn't she trying to put you off?" Emperor Xixuan felt that it was necessary to clarify this issue.

Xiao Ran nodded solemnly, "Father, I think Brother Dahuang treats Qingyan just as he treats us younger brothers and sisters. When you made a decree to bestow marriage to Brother Dahuang, Qingyan was only ten years old, not yet young. Brother Dahuang is so many years older than her, and the two have no common language at all. Moreover, since Brother Dahuang became an adult, he has never heard of any girl's family who is close to him. If you are not close to women, I am also afraid that Qingyan will not understand at a young age, and she will suffer in the future."

When Emperor Xixuan was listening to his narration, his brows were slightly frowned, but he didn't interrupt. He still had a cold expression on his face after his youngest son finished speaking.

Xiao Ran waited for a while, but seeing no reaction from his father, he couldn't help saying, "Father, were you listening just now?"

Emperor Xixuan turned his eyes to look at him, his eyes did not have the gentleness just now, although he was still loving, he asked cautiously, "Have you considered the consequences? If Miss Chu doesn't choose you in the end, what will you do?"

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but think of every detail of how he got along with Qingyan, and the worry on his face gradually turned firm, "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely impress Qingyan, didn't you say that every time you do You must go all out for everything, if you fail to do it, it proves that you are not working hard enough! I will definitely do my best to marry Qingyan as your daughter-in-law. I will tell you that Qingyan and Jingdu The girls here are different, she is very virtuous, well-behaved, sensible, smart and funny, you will definitely like it when you see her."

Although the eldest son did not praise Chu Qingyan the day before yesterday, he still expressed his affirmation in his words. Today, from the youngest son, he heard such spare no effort to praise her. He couldn't help being curious. , although amazingly talented, but is it really so good that he can get the favor of two sons at the same time?
"Father, what are you thinking?"

Xiao Ran found that his father was distracted again, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his words.

Emperor Xixuan lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked down at him, "You have just subsided from a high fever, and your body is still very weak, you should take good care of your illness first, what you said just now, Father Just listen to it first, and then talk about it when you recover."

"Father—" Could it be that he couldn't impress Father after all he said?Xiao Ran leaned forward anxiously.

Emperor Xixuan couldn't bear to see him suffering from emotional torment, but he couldn't give him an answer to this matter at the moment.

"However, father gave you time to think about it, and you can't just think about yourself, because that person is your elder brother, and the engagement was terminated, and it is not good for your elder brother if he is in public or private." It looks good, and it's a big deal. You have to consider the parties in the court, the right minister standing behind you, and other forces. This is not a simple matter of two or three personnel. That's all my father said, take good care of your illness, Father will come to see you again in a few days!"

After speaking, Emperor Xixuan turned and left.

Seeing the figure of his father leaving without hesitation, Xiao Ran suddenly felt helpless. Could it be that his father was also on the side of the elder brother?Father was not like this before, he would give him whatever he wanted!

Xiao Ran lay down on the bed, his whole body lost his spirit.

Emperor Xixuan did not go back to the imperial study, but walked around the imperial garden with Cao Zhi.

"Cao Zhi, how long has it been since two children of the royal family fought over a woman?"

When he reached the Baiyu Bridge, Emperor Xixuan spoke quietly.

Cao Zhi thought for a while and replied, "Back then, King Kun and King Xu fought against each other for the same woman, and they both died together in the end."

King Kun and King Xu are the half-brothers of the Supreme Emperor. At that time, the Supreme Emperor wanted to be an idle prince and play around. However, the Chu Jun King Kun and the God of War Xu Wang started a fight because they fell in love with the same woman, and finally a war broke out between the two. People died on the battlefield at the same time, and the innocent Supreme Emperor was brought back to inherit the throne.

"Do you feel that the stories coincide inexplicably?" Emperor Xixuan said with a cold expression.

Cao Zhi replied with some trepidation, "It seems to be a bit similar to the situation of the fourth prince of the King of England."

Emperor Xixuan said coldly, "Then tell me, who should I betroth Chu Qingyan to in order to prevent history from repeating itself?"
