Chapter 322 Want to Go to the Frontier
In fact, his father, the emperor, has nothing to do with Yan Jing.
He is talented, magnanimous, kind and wise...
Because of his position, he had to disguise himself and keep a dignified look on his face at all times.
In fact, as far as Chu Shixiang himself is concerned, he really has no interest in that position.
If he had not been forced by circumstances, he would rather have been the third prince for the rest of his life and lived out his life peacefully in the harem with his mother.
Of course, Chu Shixiang also knew at this time that his father was asking him.
So he replied without thinking: "Your son guesses that there must be good news coming from the frontier."
In fact, Chu Shixiang could figure this out even with his toes.
"Hahaha......"
Sure enough, after hearing this, Chu Murong burst into laughter.
He didn't understand his son before, but as they spent some time together, he found that he liked coming to Chenggan Hall more and more.
Perhaps he used to feel that Prince Chu Shiwei grew up by his side and had a strong father-son relationship with him.
But over the past two years, he has become more and more disappointed with Chu Shiwei.
On the contrary, it was Chu Shixiang who seemed to be the one in whom he could find the kind of fun that belonged to a father and son.
Only in this Chenggan Palace could he feel that he was not a prince.
Not the ruler of a country.
Only here can he relax.
It is also here that they can speak freely.
"Your Majesty, you two can chat here. I will take my leave first!"
Knowing that the father and son probably had something to talk about, Concubine Yu spoke tactfully.
Although she is Chu Shixiang's mother, she is still a woman in the harem, so she still has some sense of propriety.
But she herself didn't want to get involved.
The life she wanted has always been simple, and she would not let her son Chu Shixiang get involved unless she had to.
"Father, did my cousin's wife say anything else in the letter?" Chu Shixiang asked immediately after seeing Concubine Yu leave.
Looking at his father's solemn expression, Chu Shixiang knew that his guess was not wrong.
What's more, when my mother suggested going out just now, my father did not object.
Based on Chu Shixiang's understanding of him, his father must have something else to say.
"Well, there is one more thing. I came here to hear your opinion." Chu Murong said frankly.
"Father, just speak frankly."
"Your cousin's wife intends to completely subdue the Manjing Kingdom."
"Completely surrendered?" Chu Shixiang asked in surprise.
When he said this, he was surprised but not frightened.
The most important thing is that even though Chu Murong was surprised, he remained calm and slowly put the books in his hands back in place.
Then he looked at himself and asked, "If Your Majesty wants to test me, I will speak frankly."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Chu Murong nodded with even more appreciation.
He immediately replied, "Xiang'er, please feel free to speak."
This is exactly the opposite of Prince Chu Shiwei.
Chu Shixiang is not pretentious and is very frank.
He had never seen this in Chu Shiwei.
"I think it's worth a try."
"Oh? Why does Xiang'er say that?"
Hearing this, Chu Shixiang said more seriously: "Father, since my cousin went on the expedition, it has only taken her a little over a year to recapture four cities. This alone, no one in the entire Great Xia Kingdom should be able to do it, but it is obvious that my cousin has done it."
Having said that, Chu Shixiang looked at Chu Murong again and asked, "And the most important point, Father, do you know what it is?"
Hearing this, Chu Murong immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"
"Human heart!" Chu Shixiang said concisely.
"Human heart?"
"Yes, that's human nature. Since my cousin's wife has proposed this to my father, she is showing respect to him. On the other hand, my father, think about it: my cousin and his wife, who are far away, could just not tell you and take action directly. What can you do to them then?"
Having said that, Chu Shixiang took another sip of the tea beside him, moistened his throat, and then continued:
"On the contrary, my cousin and his wife wrote to you in advance, asking for your opinion. Since they wrote such a letter to you, it proves that they have such confidence. Why didn't the emperor agree to them?"
"This not only demonstrates your trust in them, Father, but also stabilizes people's hearts and gives them confidence and trust. Most importantly, doesn't Father have confidence in this matter?"
After saying this, Chu Murong fell into deep thought.
Of course, what he was thinking about was not Chu Murong's words, but his son Chu Murong.
How could he not understand what Chu Murong said?
He never thought of opposing Yu Mengqing's suggestion.
What surprised him was Chu Murong.
He didn't expect that he would hear such words from Chu Murong.
In the past, he always thought that his son had been blind since childhood and should not be as good at seeing things as Crown Prince Chu Shiwei.
But now it seems that he was too arbitrary.
Because he found that Chu Shixiang looked at things more comprehensively and thoughtfully than he had imagined.
I think he has to make decisions on many things.
Thinking of this, Chu Murong immediately stood up, patted Chu Shixiang on the shoulder, and slowly walked towards the door...
Seeing this, Chu Shixiang quickly stood up.
"Your son respectfully bids you farewell..."
"No need..." Chu Murong interrupted Chu Shixiang and walked out.
Hearing this, Chu Shixiang stopped.
Looking at the slightly hunched back, Chu Shixiang felt a little sad for a moment.
When did the unattainable father start to grow old?
Everyone envied him for being able to sit in that position.
But no one knows that he is actually lonely, right?
War Palace.
Yu Menglong and Yu Mengruo also received letters from Yu Mengqing.
"When can elder sister come back?" Yu Menglong asked, looking at the letter in Yu Mengruo's hand.
The letter first reached the hands of the second sister Yu Mengruo, so Yu Menglong was extremely anxious at this time.
"Not so soon. My elder sister said it will take some time." Yu Mengruo handed the letter in her hand to Yu Menglong and said.
Yu Menglong took it and muttered, "I will be taking the Tongsheng exam soon. Although I am young, I still want you to take me to the exam hall."
Although the teacher said that he had a high chance of passing the exam, he still hoped that his eldest sister could be by his side.
Come to think of it, they have been separated from their eldest sister for almost a year.
