Spring goes and winter comes.
It snowed in the palace, and everything was covered in white.
Since the beginning of winter, Emperor Wende has been feeling increasingly heavy and has not gone out for many days.
The ministers were extremely worried and kept calling the imperial physician to inquire about Emperor Wende's health.
The imperial physician had been ordered to keep his mouth shut long ago, so naturally he refused to say anything.
The imperial physician refused to reveal the truth, and Emperor Wende did not go out for many days, which made the court officials increasingly worried.
Could it be that Emperor Wende has already arrived...
Many people are ready to take action.
The courtyard where Gu Jiu lived also became popular, with people visiting every day.
In most cases, Gu Jiu would not show up.
She even restrained her children and did not allow them to go out to prevent them from being taken advantage of.
Only Yu Ge'er was brought by Emperor Wende himself.
Emperor Wende did not go out for many days, and his ministers were not allowed to see him. However, Yu Ge'er stayed by his bedside every day, reading and doing homework.
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people and also led to some groundless speculation.
Yu Ge'er and Heng Ge'er returned to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The two children have changed a lot. They have grown taller and more mature, and they speak and act more calmly.
Especially Yu Ge'er, who combines the advantages of Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu, and is even better than his predecessor.
…
Emperor Wende took a nap and when he woke up, it was bright outside.
There was a thick layer of snow outside.
Liu Yu was doing his homework. When he heard the noise, he turned around and said, "Grandfather Huang has woken up. Go call Eunuch Chang."
"Wait a moment."
Emperor Wende called Liu Yu and beckoned him to the bedside.
"Would it be boring and tedious for you to accompany a sick old man like me all day long?"
Liu Yu shook his head, "No!"
Emperor Wende smiled and said, "A boy of your age can't sit still."
Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "My grandson is different from other people. He can be both quiet and active."
Emperor Wende laughed, not trying to figure out whether Liu Yu was telling the truth or not. He took everything he said as the truth, feeling relieved.
"Show me your homework."
Liu Yu returned to his desk, sorted out his homework, and handed it to Emperor Wende.
Emperor Wende sat up on the pillow and read the book page by page.
"Yes, I've made a lot of progress compared to three years ago."
Liu Yu laughed, "My grandson also feels that he has made great progress in the past few years and has gained a lot of insights. It's just that time is limited, and there are many things that he hasn't had time to write down."
"Take your time, don't rush, I have confidence in you."
"Thank you, Grandfather, for your support. My father is not so tolerant and patient with me." Liu Yu pretended to complain.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wende laughed heartily, "Your father has had a grave face since he was a child. I can't even remember when he ever smiled."
Liu Yu said: "When my father and mother are together, they laugh all the time."
Emperor Wende sighed, "Your father may not be very good in other aspects, but he has a good eye for choosing a wife."
Liu Yu laughed, "My mother is the best mother in the world."
"Do you admire your mother very much?" Emperor Wende asked casually.
Liu Yu nodded and did not hide anything, "My mother is amazing, better than most men in the world."
He secretly added in his heart that most men are equal to all men. In his heart, whether it is the royal grandfather or his biological father, they are not as good as his biological mother.
Mr. Ren can compete with my mother, but they excel in different areas, so it is difficult to say who is better.
Emotionally, he naturally leaned towards his mother. After all, his mother was more powerful.
Emperor Wende was curious, "Do you worship your father?"
Liu Yu nodded, "Of course I admire my father. I may never be able to catch up with his bravery."
Emperor Wende laughed, "There's always something inferior to your father. It's not shameful."
Liu Yu nodded heavily, "I will listen to my grandfather."
Emperor Wende laughed at Liu Zhao in his heart.
The worst dad ever.
He could tell Yu Ge'er's true thoughts from his tone, and he actually admired Gu Jiu more. As his biological father, Liu Zhao had to stand aside.
Liu Zhao himself must be aware of this, so why doesn't he seem upset?
You are really open-minded.
Emperor Wende suddenly asked, "Do you want to be emperor?"
Liu Yu stood there in a daze, looking confused.
"Grandson doesn't understand."
"You just need to answer whether you want to be emperor. Yes or no?"
Liu Yu frowned and told the truth, "Grandson has never thought about this question."
Emperor Wende was surprised. "Your father is the regent, and I keep you by my side all day long. Yet, you have never thought about this?"
Liu Yu said with certainty: "Grandson dare not deceive Grandfather, Grandson has indeed not thought about this issue."
Emperor Wende was speechless and sulked for a moment, "Why don't you think about this? Are you afraid?"
"It's not that I don't dare, but I don't think being an emperor is interesting, so I never think about this issue."
puff!
Emperor Wende was furious. "Why is it boring? Talk to me. I want to hear your great principles."
Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Not everyone is suited to be an emperor, nor can everyone be a good emperor. In my grandson's opinion, the emperor's job is repetitive every day and has no novelty."
What nonsense.
Emperor Wende wanted to scold Yu Ge'er, but he held back.
He asked curiously, "Do you think being an emperor is a job?"
Liu Yu asked, "Isn't it just a job? I've been studying abroad for two or three years. When people talk about the emperor, they think he lives a life of luxury, a harem of three thousand beauties, and a life of revelry. But what I see is endless daily memorials to review and endless government affairs. Not to mention three thousand beauties, even thirty wouldn't be enough. This job is too tiring and hard, and usually doesn't last long."
Emperor Wende didn't know what to say for a moment.
But Liu Yu continued, "Whether it's reviewing memorials or handling state affairs at court in the morning, it's all repetition."
Emperor Wende asked, "In your eyes, what is not repetitive? You still repeat the same three meals a day."
Liu Yu said, "My grandson is busy every day, doing things he enjoys. When you enjoy something, you're motivated, even if it's repetitive every day."
Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "As the grandson of the emperor, have you ever thought about contributing to the court?"
"My grandson has thought about it."
"Oh! What do you want to do?"
"My grandson wants to gain some experience in the military."
Emperor Wende shook his head, a little unable to keep up with Liu Yu's train of thought.
"Look, you write and draw every day. When did you become interested in military weapons?"
"My grandson wants to be a man who is good at both civil and military affairs." Liu Yu said in a loud and clear voice, full of ambition.
Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "What's the point of learning so much if you can't become an emperor?"
Liu Yu was dumbfounded. After thinking for a moment, he argued, "Whether you become emperor or not, you should never stop learning."
Emperor Wende smiled and asked him, "Do you want to be emperor?"
"Does the Imperial Grandfather want to pass the throne to his grandson? What about my father then? He will be so angry that he will kill me in the process."
"He dares!" Emperor Wende's face was stern. "Don't worry about what I want to do. Tell me first whether you want to be emperor or not."
"Grandfather, please tell me first, can my father inherit the throne?"
You little bastard, you still dare to negotiate conditions.
It's so infuriating.
Emperor Wende was dissatisfied, "Is it so difficult for you to become the emperor?"
Liu Yu muttered, "Being an emperor is so hard."
At this moment, Liu Yu seemed to be suffering from laziness and regarded the job of emperor as a disaster.
Emperor Wende said with a stern face, "You are the eldest son, so you should endure hardships. Do you want your younger brothers to suffer?"
Liu Yu was speechless and said dejectedly: "Okay. When the time comes, my grandson will definitely shoulder the heavy burden."
Emperor Wende smiled with satisfaction.
The child is teachable.
"The Royal Grandfather hasn't told his grandson yet whether he wants to pass the throne to my father. My father has been the regent for more than half a year, working hard and rarely seeing my mother. The Royal Grandfather can't just walk away from the throne." Liu Yu had to get an answer for his own father.
Emperor Wende snorted twice, called Chang En, and ordered: "Show him the imperial edict."
Chang En was dumbfounded.
"Are you sure, Your Majesty?"
The decree of succession, which His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin had never seen, was actually shown to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin's son first.
This, this, this...
Chang En once again felt that his life span would definitely be shortened by ten years.
Emperor Wende said without question, "Show him. Brat, your mind is biased."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "I am my father's son, of course I have to think about my father."
"Why don't you think about me?"
"I spend every day with my royal grandfather, but not with my father."
It makes some sense.
Chang En trembled with fear as he took out the nanmu box containing the imperial edict of succession, opened it with the key, and took out the bright yellow silk cloth inside.
Written on it was the imperial edict of succession, and it was Liu Zhao's name.
Liu Yu confirmed that the edict was correct, put it back in the wooden box, and a smile appeared on his face.
Emperor Wende asked him, "Are you satisfied?"
Liu Yu nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied, thank you, Grandfather."
"You bastard, you dare to negotiate with me."
Liu Yu chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chang En was amazed.
He has served Emperor Wende for decades. Princess Huyang in his early years and Liu Yu now are the only two people who can act so unruly around Emperor Wende.
Only these two people could make some shocking demands without angering Emperor Wende.
However, the favor Princess Huyang receives now is not as much as Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was able to see the edict of succession in advance, but Princess Huyang did not have this treatment.
Chang En carefully put away the decree of succession.
Emperor Wende said to Liu Yu, "When your father becomes emperor, you will be a prince. Have you thought about what to do with this change in status?"
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Go to the military camp for training."
"What if your father doesn't want you to go to the military camp for training?"
"Please ask my mother. My father dares not disobey my mother's orders."
Emperor Wende's mouth twitched, and he felt extremely depressed.
"Have you ever thought about staying in the court to gain experience?"
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Grandfather, I am eighteen years old this year. There is no need to rush."
I don’t know who Liu Yu’s personality is like, but he is always calm and patient.
When asked if he wanted to be emperor, he actually dared to complain about the hard work of being an emperor.
You little bastard, you don't know what's good for you.
"What will you do if your father doesn't pass the throne to you?"
"If I don't become emperor, I will concentrate on my studies. When the time comes, I will write a personal biography of my royal grandfather and have Wenqing Bookstore publish it for distribution throughout the country."
"Praise me more in your books. Don't write down the mistakes I made or the things I said that were wrong."
"No, I have to write about both the good and the bad."
"You little bastard, are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
Three o'clock in the morning came late.
I'm so tired, but I'll still find time to write and guarantee three updates.
Come and praise Yuanbao.
