"I didn't want you to believe it anyway. You should go down and wait to meet them." The madness on Xu Tianze's face almost couldn't be maintained, but he still forced himself to finish the last sentence.
Emperor Gan looked at Xu Tianze lovingly, as if he were looking at a young man with a bad temper. However, he still had some words to tell Xu Tianze. After Xu Tianze leaned over to him at his signal, Emperor Gan revealed the real reason for calling Xu Tianze in:
"There is an imperial edict on the beam above me, announcing your royal status to the world and ennobling you as emperor."
"My son, your father hopes that you can identify a qualified king during the ensuing chaos and then support him in ascending the throne. If your brothers are not up to the task, then this imperial edict will be your sword."
Xu Tianze was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't hide his shock. He originally thought it was just a simple matter of supporting someone to get to the top.
After all, nothing that happened in the capital could be hidden from Emperor Gan. Naturally, Emperor Gan also knew about the virtuous king's final act of exchanging his own life for another's.
"What do you think your bloodline is?" Xu Tianze asked directly with hatred in his eyes.
To put it nicely, after the crown prince was established, the kings were established to balance the court, but no one was a fool, and in the end they were just raising poison.
But until now, Emperor Gan was still thinking about raising the Gu, and even let him be the mastermind behind the scenes to complete the final bloodshed.
"My child, this country may look like a flourishing one, but in reality, it has long been in turmoil. In troubled times, severe punishments are used. Everything is for the sake of peace in the country."
"So, Xu Li ultimately chose to use the lives of over a hundred members of his family as bait, marking the beginning of the chess game. Song Zhenjiang chose to claim you as his own, destroying the long-standing achievements of the Zhenguo Mansion. Even I am willing to sacrifice everything to complete this plan."
"My child, you may not understand, you may be angry, you may kill everything, but when you see the demons and monsters that have been drawn out, your father hopes that you can do your part for the well-being of this country."
Emperor Gan did not use righteousness to coerce them, nor did he ask Xu Tianze to let go of his resentment towards them. He just quietly explained their vision and their willingness.
Emperor Gan understood that at this moment, the only thing that could impress Xu Tianze was the awareness of being a Gan citizen.
It is also because Xu Li’s education from the beginning was on the path of saving the country and the people, and serving the country and the people.
This is why Xu Tianze has a sense of responsibility in his bones, and this is also the reason why he can still maintain his original heart when Xu Tianze knows everything and resents them so much.
"Give up, I won't do anything for you anymore. Even if the country is destroyed, it has nothing to do with me. As for this so-called righteousness, whoever wants to come can do it. I won't serve you anymore." After Xu Tianze finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
He could pretend not to know all this, he could pretend that he was just an ordinary person who had fulfilled all his duties.
There was nothing that would require him to sacrifice himself again.
Emperor Gan had a kind smile on his face, but it was a little weird: "Child, you never lived for us."
You live to serve the country, and all the people who work for the country live to serve the country.
"No one ever lives for anyone else. If there is, then I will only live for myself." Xu Tianze's steps are steady and his voice is firm.
Emperor Gan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he still believed in his own idea. This person will never understand until he meets him, and he will not listen to anyone else's words before that.
Emperor Gan has explained everything he needed to, except for one last wish.
"Child, are you willing to call me 'Father'?"
When Xu Tianze heard the sound at the door, his hand that was about to open it paused for a moment. He sighed in his heart, but still insisted on his idea.
"If they don't deserve it, do you deserve it?"
After Xu Tianze finished speaking, he pushed the door open and walked out.
He could understand that sacrificing themselves for the country was indeed something worthy of admiration.
But this does not mean that they can control their own lives at will. That is not justice, but a disgusting bondage.
As soon as Xu Tianze opened the door, he saw that everyone's eyes were on him. In front of him was the sunshine spreading across the earth, and behind him was the dull darkness.
"I am Xu Tianze, I will always be Xu Tianze, and I will only be Xu Tianze." With that, Xu Tianze stepped directly into the sunlight.
"Aze, are you okay?" The wise king stepped forward and held Xu Tianze's hand, giving him strength.
Perhaps others may not understand what Xu Tianze said, but the wise king knew it very well.
At the same time, the virtuous king also guessed from the side that the content of the conversation between Emperor Gan and Xu Tianze was biased.
"It's nothing good or bad. We will return to our fiefdom tomorrow." Xu Tianze watched the eldest princess' figure gradually disappear behind the door, and he became more alert.
The wise king opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words finally came out, he only said: "Okay."
"Father only sent back my second brother. Brother Tianze, you can leave later. I just came back, are you leaving already?" The Sixth Prince came up again, looking pitiful.
"Xiao Liu, stop it." The virtuous king was displeased and pushed the Sixth Prince's head back.
But they have made it very clear, time and again. Do they really think that he has cultivated his character and gotten rid of his temper?
Aze is his, and no one can snatch him from him, not even his beloved Xiaoliu.
"But."
"Sixth Prince, we have never been on the same path." Xu Tianze interrupted the Sixth Prince and smiled at him.
It is better not to express some feelings in words, so that they will not become difficult to resolve later, just like him and Song Yu.
When Long Musi heard what Xu Tianze said, his eyes became a little gloomy, but in the end he looked at the Sixth Prince sarcastically to express his disdain.
Song Yu has been watching the show from the side. For Song Yu, expressing his feelings openly is no longer advisable. It would be better to find the right opportunity to take the person back.
The anger on the wise king's face disappeared, and his heart gradually calmed down. He almost forgot that he was not the only one who firmly chose Xu Tianze. Xu Tianze also always firmly chose him.
Since you have been firmly chosen by someone, sometimes there is no need to put yourself first. Sometimes you can stay at the back with complete peace of mind and enjoy all the sense of security that person brings to you.
The Sixth Prince was about to say something, but the tightly closed door opened, instantly attracting everyone's attention, and he turned around.
The eldest princess glanced at everyone indifferently and spoke only after a long time.
