Moreover, the prince has a special status, and when he goes out, there will always be many crises approaching.
Chen Wei said sullenly, "A sword is sharpened by grinding. We can't always keep the children under the emperor's wings. Your Majesty, you and I will grow old one day. We have to let the children see the world."
Li Yuanjing was silent.
Of course he knew that Shen Wei had a point.
But Chengyou is his most valued son after all. If he goes out to explore the world at such a young age and something unexpected happens to him... Li Yuanjing really doesn't dare to think about it.
Among the princes of Daqing, only Li Chengtai and Li Chengyou have the most promising prospects. The other princes were timid and cowardly, and were unable to handle the important task.
An excellent prince is hard to come by. Losing such an outstanding prince would be a loss for the Kingdom of Qing.
Seeing that Li Yuanjing remained silent for a long time, Shen Wei patiently said, "When the emperor was young, he resolutely left the imperial city and went south to gain experience despite the opposition of the empress dowager. The emperor should be able to understand Chengyou's feelings the most."
The room was quiet, with insects chirping outside the window. Li Yuanjing thought of the past, his childhood, and the deceased emperor.
In an instant, Li Yuanjing suddenly understood Chengyou.
Many years ago, Li Yuanjing was still a young prince. Li Yuanjing believed that his brother, the Crown Prince, would inherit the throne, so in order to prevent his brothers from having conflicts over the throne, he wanted to stay away from court disputes.
When he was young, Li Yuanjing liked fighting and killing, and yearned to lead troops in battle. He begged the late emperor and the empress dowager, saying that he wanted to go to the south to gain experience in the army.
After begging for a long time, the late emperor and the empress dowager still refused to agree.
At that time, he only felt that his father was unsympathetic, stubborn and arrogant, and was preventing him from running towards the open world. For a long time, he was dissatisfied with his father.
Now as a father, Li Yuanjing suddenly understood his father's feelings.
It’s not that I’m unkind, but I’m afraid that something might happen to the child.
For parents, sending their young children on a long journey is a form of mental torture.
Li Yuanjing sighed, his mind racing, but he finally softened his attitude. He said to Shen Wei: "Well, I agree to let Chengyou go to Liangzhou."
Shen Wei then smiled and leaned into Li Yuanjing's arms, saying softly, "I hope the children will live a peaceful life."
...
...
Under the same moonlight, in the remote Xiangyun Hall in the backyard of the imperial palace, the candlelight was dim.
Liu Qiaoer was weighed down with worries and tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
