Mother, I have returned to the throne.

"So, you believe that the boss won't rebel?"

Song Youji brought the wine glass to his lips, suddenly raised his eyes, and spoke to General Zhao.

General Zhao opened his mouth slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, affirming: "Your Majesty, to be honest, Old Chen spent some time with the eldest prince when he was at the border. Indeed, I believe he will not rebel!"

"Believe? Why do you believe?"

Song Youji's tone suddenly became stern, and just one sentence left General Zhao speechless.

"Before the founding emperor of our Great Qin established the country, I'm afraid no one believed that he would rebel!"

"What was the result? It was because of this word of faith that the dynasty was eventually changed, leading to the current situation!"

When General Zhao heard this, a bitter look appeared on his face and he shook his head.

It seems that Your Majesty still doesn't believe it?

Indeed, the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty also started a rebellion, and it was only by relying on his own thundering methods that he was able to establish the empire we have today.

This cannot be denied!

We can learn from history, but who can guarantee that similar scenes will happen again?

The reason why the emperor rebelled was simply to survive.

If it weren't for the pressure from others, how could the whole thing have escalated?

"All of you, step back!"

Just when General Zhao was silent, Song Youji suddenly waved his hand and dismissed everyone around him, including Eunuch Zheng.

When there was no one around, Song Youji suddenly picked up the bottle of wine.

Under the horrified gaze of General Zhao, Song Youji personally stood up and poured him a glass of wine.

"General Zhao, to be honest, there is at least one thing we have in common!"

"Before I get your answer, I also believe that the boss will not rebel, but do you understand that this is not what I am really worried about!"

Song You muttered a mouthful of food, and at the end he couldn't help but shook his head, with a hint of helplessness appearing between his brows.

"What is your Majesty thinking?"

Sensing Song Youji's serious thoughts, General Zhao looked at him gravely.

Since His Majesty has confirmed that he trusts the eldest prince, why did he say that he would storm Zhenbei Pass before in the hall?

What is the purpose of such an action?

Facing General Zhao's solemn gaze, Song Youji remained silent for a long time before finally revealing the truth.

"What I'm really worried about isn't the present, but the future! After all, no one is immortal, and sooner or later I'll definitely be gone!"

"I'm afraid that the moment I leave, the current Crown Prince and the Boss may not be able to reconcile!"

Facing General Zhao, Song Youji finally took off all his disguises. At this moment, he was no longer an emperor of all ages, but just a father.

"I finally understand now. The reconciliation between the eldest and third brother was just a show between the two of them!"

"The relationship between them has long been impossible to reconcile. I thought these two brothers really loved each other, but I didn't expect that they were just putting on an act for me!"

"Perhaps they are both holding a grudge in their hearts, wondering when they can take each other's lives! If I were alive, it wouldn't be difficult to suppress them both."

"But if I'm gone one day...a conflict between the two of us is probably inevitable!"

Don't do what is not your responsibility.

Although General Zhao had his own opinions on border affairs, he was ultimately just a subject.

As for Song Youji, as an emperor, he naturally needs to consider more!

He is not only considering the present, but also the future of this huge dynasty!

Just like before, Song Youji seemed to be able to explain things in a simple and easy-to-understand way on weekdays, but any movement in the entire palace would definitely not escape his eyes!

Through the information collected during this period, Song Youji had already realized that his two sons were the biggest disaster!

These two evil creatures seemed to be getting along well with each other on the surface, but in fact, they never stopped doing their little tricks secretly!

Neither of them is a good person. They still consider me when I am here, but if I leave, what will they be afraid of?

At the end of his speech, Song Youji shook his head with some helplessness. At this moment, he was like an elder who was disappointed with his parents.

"I thought that as long as I was strict, the tragedy that had occurred before would never happen between my sons. But I overlooked one point: sometimes, people's hearts can't be trusted!"

"Just like me back then, before this incident happened, I never thought that my hands would be stained with the blood of my own brothers!"

"I don't want to kill anyone, let alone a close relative. But I want to live. I want to live!"

At this moment, Song Youji took off all his disguises, sighed, and recounted the sadness he had experienced over the years.

General Zhao, who was standing by, pursed his lips bitterly after hearing the last part.

For Song Youji, killing his brother with his own hands was definitely a lifelong pain. The pain was so severe that even after decades, he could still feel the bitterness that penetrated deep into his bones when he thought about it.

Looking through ancient history, all the misfortunes have never gone away, but have just been repeated on another person.

The current eldest prince is just like Song Youji back then. In order to survive, he will probably end up in a desperate situation!

"Tell me, did that Wei guy really betray me and this country?"

As if to calm down, Song Youji suddenly changed the subject.

General Zhao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the situation here is extremely complicated, and I dare not say more!"

If it were any other topic, General Zhao might be able to give some advice, but he really had no right to speak on the situation on the border!

After all, General Zhao's grandson is now following Song Yuan. If he says anything too much, Song Youji may think that he is speaking for Song Yuan!

"Even you won't tell the truth to my face?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't. You know my grandson is also at the border. Even if I really tell you what's in my heart, can you believe it completely?"

The two looked at each other, and in the end, Song Youji finally gave up his original plan.

"Alright, alright, you're already this old, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't embarrass you!"

After all, although the two have been together for so many years and are as close as brothers, their identities are still king and subject!

Suspicion is inevitable between the monarch and his subjects.

After all, the positions of the two were originally equal, and Song Youji had already developed a habit over the years. How could he change it in a short time?

"Assholes, what a bunch of assholes!"

Feeling somewhat lonely, Song Youji finally picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Then, the moment he put down the wine glass, it seemed as if there were a lot more white hairs between his temples.

It was as if a conversation had aged him by ten years.
