Chapter 330 I Will Only Make a Wish
Hearing Bei Yao's words, the emperor almost gasped.
He looked at Beiyao and said with regret: "Beiyao, you will be the emperor of Tianqi in the future. Why do you want to learn from those romantic men? From ancient times to the present, having children has always been a big deal. Father doesn't want you to regret why you didn't marry more when you were young when you are as old as me!"
When he was a prince, the emperor had thought about marrying only one person in his life.
Having grown up in the palace, the emperor understands the heart of an emperor best.
His mother was the queen, second only to the emperor and the mistress of the harem. But no matter how high her status was or what her family background was, she could not change the fact that her husband did not love her.
It is too difficult to take just one scoop from the vast expanse of water.
Therefore, the emperor thought that he must not be like his father.
He wants to love only one person in his life.
Treat your wife and children well.
Everything went as he wished, until the previous emperor died in battle and he ascended the throne.
In order to maintain the previous dynasty and the harem, he had to take concubines.
When concubines entered the harem like flowing water, the emperor finally understood that he had no choice but to accept the consequences of his position.
What's good about being loyal?
There is no benefit.
What's more, people will change. There are very few people who are deeply in love until death, and even fewer in the imperial family.
"If she is not the one I love, what is the point of marrying her? Is she like Concubine Xing? She obviously hates you, but you are imprisoned in the palace all your life and have no happiness."
Bei Yao looked at the emperor and spoke surprisingly calmly.
"Father, Queen Mother has never been happy, and neither have you. Do you want me to be unhappy for the rest of my life?"
"Beiyao, people change. Yes, you really like making wishes today, and your father likes it too. But have you ever thought that if the Xu family becomes powerful and threatens the royal family one day, and Xuyuan wants to replace you, will you still like making wishes? Why did you give up the entire forest for a tree?"
Bei Yao's opposition was within the emperor's expectations.
But he was not angry, everyone was young once.
Beiyao inherited this trait from him, which is why he is so affectionate.
But reality and experience tell him that persistence is useless, affection is cheapest, and love will change.
Beiyao is young and doesn't understand, so he will teach him.
At this moment, they are not king and subject, but father and son.
Bei Yao retorted: "Wishful is not a tree. She is the only beautiful tree I have seen in all my years of life. I not only love her, but also admire her. This friendship will never change."
"One day she will be old and ugly, and you will find it boring to see her. Will you still love and respect her then? Beiyao, this is a man's nature and it cannot be changed."
"In your father's eyes, is love so superficial?" Bei Yao laughed suddenly. "You don't know what Xu Yuan and I have been through together, so you naturally don't understand this friendship. In other words, father, do you think that if you get old and can't walk one day, will I treat you the same way I treated Xu Yuan?"
"Of course not." The emperor shook his head, "We are father and son. This friendship is based on blood ties."
"But the emperor and my brother are also father and son, and I and the queen are still mother and son?"
Bei Yao looked at the emperor, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes: "But one of them doesn't regard you as a father and wants to kill you to seize the world, and the other doesn't regard me as a child and only hopes to use everything I have to exchange for her eldest son's rapid rise to power. Doesn't father know that mother has long known that my brother is planning a rebellion?"
The emperor was suddenly stunned.
He knows, He knows it all.
But he never thought that Beiyao would say it so boldly.
The words he used to convince himself and Bei Yao to let Bei Yuan go became a boomerang and hit him.
"My brother respects you because you are the emperor, my mother respects you because you are the emperor, and the concubines in the harem fear you because you are the emperor. You can decide the life and death of everyone with just one sentence. Who wouldn't be afraid? Father holds the power of life and death over everyone. He imprisons the concubines in the harem for their entire lives, and then persuades us that people will change and we can't have feelings for them. He also feels that everyone treats you with insincere affection. How can you see their true feelings? Who dares to be true to you?"
Bei Yao shook his head slowly, denying the emperor one sentence after another.
"People do change, feelings fade, and sense of responsibility fades. No one can guarantee that they will only love one person for the rest of their life, but I know in my heart that no matter who comes to my side from now on, they will not have the innocence that Xu Yuan brought to me."
"When I first met her, I only wanted to use her. I didn't know her identity or that she was a woman. I just thought she was a good person and could be recruited to work with me and have a bright future. But later, I found out that I was wrong. She was not just good, but excellent, the best."
"She saved my life, helped me many times when I was in trouble, and risked her life for me. If this friendship changes, if I forget and fail her, I will not be worthy of being called a human being."
The emperor was stunned.
He knew that Bei Yao was an excellent speaker, completely different from him.
He was also fully prepared. No matter what Bei Yao said, he would oppose and reject it.
But he never thought that Beiyao would say these words so sincerely.
It took a long time for the emperor to come back to his senses.
He looked at his son, who was a head taller than him, and finally asked, "What if Father still disagrees?"
"I'll take Xuyuan away."
"If you leave the capital, how will you live? How can you guarantee that Xu Yuan will give up the comfortable life in the capital and leave with you?"
"Father, do you think that everything I have now is due to my royal status?" Bei Yao asked back.
The emperor was silent.
Bei Yao said: "I was able to come back alive from Shuozhou not because I am the third prince, and the victory in the Battle of Feishui was not because I am the Chengwang. Similarly, Xu Yuan and I are in love with each other not because I am a descendant of the royal family. Father, you can't think that everyone in the world is the same just because you have seen many people seeking benefits and avoiding harm."
"Then you don't want the throne anymore?" The emperor raised his eyes and looked at his son who was already a head taller than him.
Before this, he had always cultivated Bei Yuan as the crown prince.
But he was wrong.
Later, when Bei Yao restored order and was ordered to go south to quell the rebellion, the emperor made up his mind that no matter what the outcome of the war was, when Bei Yao returned to the capital, the position of crown prince must be decided.
Northern Yao is different from Northern Yuan.
Bei Yao was smart, resourceful, and his skills as an emperor far surpassed his.
Bei Yao will be the most successful emperor in Tianqi's history.
But now, the emperor found that he seemed to be wrong.
Bei Yao had never fought for it before. It wasn't that he felt he was unqualified. It was obvious that he had never set his eyes on the position of crown prince.
It was so before and it will be so after.
"If I have to choose between the world and making a wish, I will only choose making a wish."
"You really won't regret it?"
"No." Bei Yao said firmly.
"Then what about the world? Father will eventually grow old. You can't enjoy the glory and wealth of the royal family without taking responsibility, right?"
After the emperor finished speaking, he turned around dejectedly and said, "Beiyao, father only has you, only you can inherit the throne. You insist on doing it your own way. What should father do?"
