The First Tyrant of Daxia

Now that things have come to this, everyone has no choice but to obey: "I obey your command!"

"Okay, it's getting late, so let's just leave it like this for now. As for the rest of the matters, just wait for my imperial decree. Let's go." Qin Yun waved his hand.

"We obey your order and respectfully send off Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!" Everyone suppressed their excitement and bowed in salute.

Qin Yun left from the back.

In the next few days, sending troops to the west was no longer a secret, and it caused a huge shock in the palace, especially the harem, which was anxiously preparing this and that.

He had already been in the palace for two years. Besides, the concubines knew his grand blueprint and lofty ambitions, so they did not stop him. They just reminded Qin Yun again and again to march and fight, and not to be on the front line.

Qin Yun also promised Xiao Yuxiang and others that he would never go into battle to kill the enemy himself and would ensure their safety. This made the crying women stop crying.

Of course, in fact, he really doesn't need to go to the front line. He has many talented people under him, so he only needs to stay in the central army.

The night before departure, the imperial capital was bustling all night long, like a city that never sleeps, and many people spontaneously prayed for Qin Yun.

From the cabinet on down, all government departments and agencies are extremely busy.

Royal study room.

Qin Yun had just coaxed all the children to sleep and came back after checking on them one by one. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Qin Rui, who was already as tall as his legs.

"Your Majesty, your son, pays homage to your father!" He knelt down in a proper manner, wearing a four-clawed dragon robe, looking very majestic.

"Why are you still here? Have you greeted your mother?" Qin Yun helped him up.

His fair face was very childish, with Qin Yun's heroic spirit and Empress Xiao's kindness in his eyebrows. He said seriously, "Father, please come in."

"My queen mother asked me to come and talk to my father."

Qin Yun grinned and looked at his eldest son with liking from the bottom of his heart. No matter from which aspect, he was almost perfect.

"Okay, let's go and have a chat as father and son!" He took Qin Rui's hand and walked inside.

Except for Feng Lao, all the palace maids and eunuchs retreated and dared not approach.

Qin Yun led him to the dragon throne and sat down.

"Father, how long will this attack on the West last?" Qin Rui asked. No matter how young and intelligent he was, he was only eight years old after all.

"This... Father can't say for sure. It may be three years, or maybe more than that." Qin Yun hesitated, and then immediately said: "Don't tell your mother. Your mother will know how worried you are and will probably cry in secret."

Qin Rui nodded, not quite understanding: "I understand, Father. Don't worry, I will accompany you every day when you are not around, and I won't let her be lonely."

Hearing this, Qin Yun was moved by his pure and serious eyes. For some reason, his eyes instantly turned red. This child is filial and sensible.

"Well, you have grown up and become a man! As the saying goes, filial piety is the most important virtue. You may not be good at studying, but you must take good care of your mother."

"Over the years, she has sacrificed so much for me and for you, do you know that?"

“Yeah!” Qin Rui nodded like a chick pecking at rice: “Your son understands!”

Qin Yun smiled and rubbed his head.

At this time, Qin Rui spoke directly: "Father, may I ask you something?"

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Why, are you still beating around the bush with your father? You're asking for a fight!"

Qin Rui chuckled. He had a good relationship with Qin Yun since childhood, so he was not afraid. They were like real father and son, and not like the emperors and princes of other dynasties, who were mixed with rules and coldness.

"Father, I heard from my third brother that we have another brother who is living away from home?"

Qin Yun was stunned: "Where did this kid hear this?"

Qin Rui immediately became evasive and apparently could not explain the reason.

Qin Yun did not press the issue. Qin Rui had always been protective of his younger siblings since he was young. This was a good thing. He then took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Indeed, his name is Qin Di."

Qin Rui is still young. Although he has developed some qualities of a prince under the training of many big men, he still has no idea about many sensitive things such as power struggles.

His eyes lit up with joy, and he asked curiously, "Will Father take him back this time?"

"Now that he's back, the palace will be even more lively. I will definitely take good care of my brother! My mother also said that if that day ever comes, I will have to act like a crown prince."

Hearing this, Qin Yun couldn't help but feel deeply touched. Compared with Qin Rui and his mother, Wang Min was obviously far behind in this aspect.

For a long time, he didn't answer.

He smiled and said, "Let's wait until Father finishes the war. It's still early now. But Rui'er, I'm very happy that you are so sensible."

Qin Rui was somewhat disappointed when he heard this. He seemed to have a strong curiosity and expectation about Emperor Qin, whom he had never met before.

But the prophecy of the two dragons devouring each other has already begun, judging from what has happened now?

Can I really stop all this? Qin Yun couldn't help asking himself this question in his heart, and then his eyes gradually became sharper. He had to do it even if he couldn't!

Then, the father and son talked by candlelight until late at night. When the entire palace was quiet except for the sound of the wind, Qin Rui finally fell asleep in his arms, very quietly and well-behaved.

Qin Yun's greatest pride is that this eldest son, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and received all the love of the empire, is not arrogant, but surprisingly kind, filial, and respectful to others!

Such kings are often more suitable for the people than some kings with strong personalities.

Taking advantage of the night, he personally carried Qin Rui back to the Yangxin Palace. According to the rules, he should have gone to the Eastern Palace at his age, but Xiao Yuxiang was reluctant to let him go.

Qin Yun kept suppressing the situation and let Qin Rui live in the Yangxin Palace.

After making the bedding for the child, he looked at it for a long time before leaving. When he comes back next time, the child may have changed again.

Walking out of the palace, he was filled with emotion, looking at the bright and brilliant starry sky above his head, without any pollution. It was a scenery that would never be seen in the future thousands of years later.

I've been coming here for so many years!

"Your Majesty, is it Your Majesty?" Suddenly, a gentle voice was heard, lanterns were lit in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Xiao Yuxiang walked out wearing her coat.

He came to his senses and immediately went to meet him.

"It's me. Why are you still not sleeping so late?" He naturally held Xiao Yuxiang's jade hand. It was so warm and smooth, like some kind of magic that always made people feel comfortable and like they were home.

Xiao Yuxiang smiled, gentle and touching: "It's so late, who else could it be except Your Majesty? Has Rui'er gone to bed?"

"It's time to sleep. Let's go. I'll rest here." Qin Yun stretched and yawned.

Xiao Yuxiang was delighted and immediately ordered the maid: "Quick, go and prepare, change the bedding..."

She explained a lot of things, in the same detail as she had done over the past ten years, and she almost held Qin Yun in her mouth.

Qin Yun and her walked into the palace hand in hand. He suddenly squinted and said jokingly, "You asked Rui'er to accompany me. Did you guess that I would send him back and then sleep here?"

Xiao Yuxiang's snow-white face turned red: "This, this..."
