Chapter 192
On the wall of the imperial palace, Emperor Qing stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the surrounding mountains and theaters.
Gao Che came up under the guidance of the eunuch.
He bowed to Emperor Qing, "Grandfather!"
Emperor Qing raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed a few times.
Gao Che walked up to him with some concern and said, "Grandfather, it's windy up there, you should go back to the harem and rest."
Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
"Che'er, do you see these lush green mountains and rivers?"
Gao Che looked down and nodded.
"This is all the territory of my Dayong Dynasty." Emperor Qing looked a little lonely, and said: "There are many people in this world who want to ascend the supreme throne, but they don't know that in this position, they gain a lot but also lose a lot." For example, the father-son relationship, he is still a lonely man after all.
"Royal Grandfather..." Gao Che knew that the Royal Grandfather might be sad about his two uncles, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
Emperor Qing looked up at him and said, "Che'er, do you know what it means to be a good ruler?"
Gao Che thought for a moment and said, "Those who are brave enough to expand territory are overlords, but they are not necessarily good rulers. The book says that it is easy to expand territory but difficult to defend it. Water can carry a boat but can also overturn it. If you want to be a good ruler, you must win the hearts of the people, work diligently and love the people, and make the people live in peace and happiness. Only then can you be a good monarch."
"Good!" Emperor Qing patted his shoulder with some satisfaction, looked at him deeply, and said: "Che'er, do you have the confidence to be a good ruler?"
Gao Che was stunned, his heart suddenly beating faster, "Royal Grandfather..." He originally thought that since he could read and write and understand things, he would have the opportunity to do things that benefit the country and the people in the future. However, he had never thought about the superiors.
"Cough! Cough!"
Emperor Qing coughed a few more times, and when he calmed down, he looked at him and said, "Che'er, you should be diligent and care for the people, but also be decisive in killing and punishing people."
"The Huo family and the Liang family are both loyal subjects to the emperor, but you have to have a ruler in your heart. You can't let the loyal subjects feel cold, but you can't just listen to them. You have to have your own considerations."
Gao Che felt a little sad seeing that he seemed to be making arrangements for his last affairs.
Emperor Qing touched his head and said, "Che'er, Grandfather is old and can't hold on for much longer. Grandfather will pass the responsibility of Dayong State to you."
Gao Che's eyes were red, and he said solemnly: "Grandfather, Che'er will work hard!"
The next day
At the morning court session, Emperor Qing issued an imperial decree, appointing Gao Che as the future crown prince, and also gave an oral order, asking Imperial Tutor Huo to teach him carefully.
Master Huo received the order respectfully.
Some ministers were well aware that Gao Che was named the crown prince, and they did not find it surprising. It can be seen from the autumn hunt that His Majesty attaches great importance to Gao Che, the imperial grandson.
After the morning court session, Master Huo was constantly congratulated by many of his colleagues.
To be honest, those ministers were extremely envious. Not only was he a favorite of His Majesty, but he would also be the teacher of the future emperor. The Huo family would be blessed with endless honors and favors in the future.

Huo Family Academy
Huo Rui and others looked at Gao Che's empty table and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. They really didn't expect that Gao Che would actually become the future crown prince.
Huo Rui looked at Huo Yu who was reading seriously and said, "Huo Yu, I didn't expect that you were right."
Huo Yu didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "It's not hard to guess. It's just a matter of elimination."
Huo Shun's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Were we classmates with the future emperor?"
"If I had known this, I should have asked him to write some plaques for us. If I don't take the imperial examination and open a store, it would be a great honor to have his handwritten words on it." He said with some vision of the future.
Huo Ze said disdainfully: "Can't you be a little more promising?"
Huo Shun touched his nose and said, "Hey, I just said that."
Seeing Huo Rui holding his chin with his hand in a trance, Huo Ze asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Huo Rui frowned and said, "Do you think Gao Che will allow us to enter the palace as study companions?"
Huo Ze and Huo Shun opened their eyes wide, somewhat incredulously, and said, "This...is unlikely!"
Huo Yu turned a page of the book and said with a smile: "Isn't this great? If you really go to the palace to study together, you will be real classmates."
Huo Rui rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't you say that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger? Why are you making such a fuss now?" There are so many rules in the palace, that's why he didn't want to enter it.
"What are you talking about!"
At this time Gao Che walked in with a smile.
When Huo Shun, Huo Ze and others saw him, they were surprised at first, and then they bowed to him.
Gao Che was somewhat helpless and said, "We are friends. Don't be polite to me like this. Just treat me as usual." He truly regarded them as friends.
If it was in the past, Huo Rui and others might have been able to do this, but now that they know he is the crown prince, they should not be too presumptuous.
Gao Che sighed softly and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I have to study in the palace starting tomorrow."
Huo Rui nodded. Thousands of
Gao Che looked at Huo Rui and Huo Yu with hesitation and said, "I...you...do you want to come to the palace and study with me?"
Huo Rui didn't expect that his words would come true, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "I don't want to face my grandfather every day." Not only does he have no freedom in the palace, but he also has to face his grandfather every day. Isn't that asking for trouble?
"Gao Che, let Huo Yu accompany you. He is good at studying."
Huo Yu didn't expect that Huo Rui would actually push him out.
Gao Che looked at Huo Yu expectantly. He admired and appreciated this knowledgeable and intelligent partner.
Huo Yu glared at Huo Rui first, then looked at him and said, "I'll forget it. You know I'm more interested in arithmetic."
Gao Che was suddenly disappointed. It was just as his grandfather had said, reaching a high position would gain a lot but also lose a lot.
Seeing that he looked very weak, Huo Rui patted his shoulder and said, "When you are free, you can come out and play with us."
Gao Che smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Huo Mansion Backyard
Today is Shulan's wedding day.
Luo Chaoyan's eyes were red as she helped Shu Lan, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, up and said, "Shu Lan, remember that you still have me as your family. If you are wronged in the future, don't bear it."
Shu Lan had tears in her eyes. She looked at her and said, "Madam, Shu Lan knows."
Luo Chaoyan patted her hands, smiled, and said, "It's almost time, it's time to get on the sedan."
Shu Lan nodded slightly.
Huo An was also a little reluctant, and said seriously: "Sister Shulan, don't worry, I will take good care of mother."
Luo Chaoyan's face twitched. What did the fat boy mean by that? He made her seem like a troublemaker.
Shu Lan smiled when he heard this, reached out and rubbed his little head, and said, "Master An, Shu Lan believes you."
She turned to look at Fengli, who was already in tears, and said, "Fengli, you may have taken good care of the young lady."
Pineapple nodded with a sob.
Shu Lan said goodbye to everyone and was led out by the matchmaker and several maids, along with a few boxes of dowry prepared for her by Luo Chaoyan.
Looking at her leaving back, Luo Chaoyan felt very reluctant.
When Huo Jin came in, he saw her eyes were red and felt distressed. He hugged her in his arms and said softly, "I will be with you from now on."
Huo An also came over and said, "And me."
