Ye Jingchen could never understand why Xie Chang'an liked to provoke Ye Jinghe so much.
In their previous life, they were allies. Even if they eventually became enemies, they shouldn't be targeting him like this, right?
Could it be that love turned into hate?
If Ye Jingchen had known he would die suddenly, he would have insisted on reading the novel for a few more hours. Since he was going to die anyway, reading a little longer might have allowed him to finish the novel before he died!
He was so curious about the love-hate relationship between Xie Chang'an and Ye Jinghe!
I'm also curious about their ultimate fate.
For example, how many women were in Xie Chang'an's harem?
Fortunately, he eventually became emperor, a highly sought-after figure. Otherwise, given his capricious and arrogant personality, he would never have expected any girl to like him in his entire life!
As for Ye Jinghe, his love and hate are too clear-cut. It's hard to say whether the girls who can be liked by him are lucky or unlucky!
While Ye Jingchen was thinking about all sorts of things, he solemnly said, "Actually, I don't dislike Xie Chang'an!"
"Xie Chang'an is arrogant and rude, and he's not nice to you at all. Why do you like Xie Chang'an?" Ye Jinghe, who was sitting next to Ye Jingchen, stood up abruptly upon hearing this and asked with a wronged expression.
Ye Jingchen was speechless. "I just said I don't dislike it."
"Isn't not disliking something the same as liking it?"
Ye Jingchen: ......
Okay, if you say you like it, then you like it!
"The Duke of Zhenguo has guarded the northern frontier for decades and is the guardian of Dayuan. Xie Chang'an's father and uncles, and even his mother, fought against the northern barbarians on the battlefield to protect Dayuan. It is because of their sacrifices and the efforts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northern frontier that Dayuan enjoys peace today! The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has sacrificed so much for Dayuan. As princes, shouldn't we treat the only son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion well?" Ye Jingchen asked Ye Jinghe.
“Those are the achievements of his father and grandfather, how can they be attributed to him? Besides, wasn’t his brother treating him well? But what is his attitude towards his brother?” Ye Jinghe asked angrily after a moment of silence.
"His attitude towards me is not important. What is important is that he will go to the northern frontier in the future, take command of the Xie family army, and guard Dayuan in place of his grandfather!" Ye Jingchen said.
“No! Xie Chang’an has no respect for imperial power or for my brother. My brother cannot let him take command of the military!” Ye Jinghe said hurriedly.
What if Xie Chang'an becomes disloyal if he takes command of the military?
“He may not have it, but his family does. As long as his family is still alive, he will not have any ulterior motives!” Ye Jingchen explained.
"What if his family is gone one day? What will his brother do with him then?" Ye Jinghe asked immediately.
Ye Jingchen smiled and said, "If I can't get him to be loyal to Dayuan after so long, then I'd be too incompetent, wouldn't I?"
"Brother, do you have to choose Xie Chang'an? Can't I? I can also guard the northern border for you, and I will never betray you!" Ye Jinghe tugged at Ye Jingchen's sleeve, asking unwillingly.
He always felt that he would feel most at ease if he had military power in his own hands, just as he had suggested to the emperor!
However, the northern frontier is a harsh and cold place, and he couldn't bear to see his brother suffer there, so he could do it for his brother.
Anyway, he and his brother were inseparable; since he held military power, it was as if his brother held military power as well!
“The northern border is thousands of miles away from the capital. If you go to the northern border, you may not be able to come back for several years. You have never left me since you were a child. Are you really willing to leave me for so long?”
"Besides, the battlefield is treacherous and dangerous, and I don't want you to go!" Ye Jingchen said.
On the battlefield, individual life and death are insignificant; mountains of corpses and rivers of blood are commonplace. Without a strong heart, it is difficult to adapt.
It wasn't that he thought Ye Jinghe wasn't strong enough; it was just that Ye Jinghe was a prince, and his status meant that even if he didn't go to the battlefield, he could still make many contributions to Dayuan!
For Xie Shaoling and Xie Chang'an, the northern frontier was their heart's desire, and the 200,000-strong Xie family army was their bond!
The best arrangement is to put the right people in the right places!
Ye Jinghe fell silent again.
He truly couldn't bear to part with his brother, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like to be separated from his brother for several years.
But he was also very uneasy. He had a premonition that if Xie Chang'an took control of the military, he might lose his brother.
“Then let’s not go to the northern frontier for now. I’ll be twelve next year, so I’ll go to the guard camp outside the imperial city for training first!” Ye Jinghe said.
If he can control the revenue generated by the guards, then even if Xie Chang'an has ulterior motives, he will have enough troops to fight against Xie Chang'an and protect his brother's safety!
"Who joins the army at twelve? If you really want to gain experience, you should wait until you're at least fifteen," Ye Jingchen said with amusement.
"I'm afraid it will be too late when I turn fifteen!" Ye Jinghe said.
"What do you mean by too late? Father is still so young, it's never too late!" Ye Jingchen patted his head.
"You're still young, you don't need to think about these things!"
"I know you don't like Xie Chang'an, and I'm not asking you to like him. Just ignore him like you ignore someone you don't like, okay? Although Xie Chang'an does have a bad temper, he has perfectly inherited the talent of the Duke of Zhenguo's family in military campaigns and troop deployment. He is the best candidate to succeed the Duke of Zhenguo in leading the Xie family army. Not only do the people of Dayuan need him, but Father Emperor needs him, and I need him too!" Ye Jingchen persuaded.
