The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

The retired emperor looked at Emperor Xinglong with a hint of disappointment.

"Look, you're getting impatient again! What did I just say to you?"

"My son..."

Emperor Xinglong was stunned when he heard this and lowered his head slightly in shame.

The Emperor Taizong moved slightly, looked at Emperor Xinglong, and said earnestly,

"The army is like wild beasts, not officials who can be manipulated by your imperial decree."

"If you push them too hard, they'll just do something desperate!"

Having said that, he glanced at Emperor Xinglong who looked ashamed and sighed helplessly.

"Alas! Ever since you ascended the throne, I have seen that you wanted to change the military system!"

"So I have always suppressed you, winning over the hearts of those arrogant and fierce generals in the court while gradually training them from lions to dogs."

As he spoke, he showed a complicated look on his face and continued,

"If there was a change of power at that time and the world was unstable, even if I gave you the military power, you would not be able to hold on to this position!"

"Now, the four princes, eight dukes, and other nobles are all within my reach. Your governance has gradually become more stable and you have learned to be patient! After my death, you can let go of everything and do it boldly! What can I do if all the insults are directed at me?"

"Father!"

Emperor Xinglong choked up when he heard this.

It turned out that over the years, his father had no objection to him as the emperor and did not want to do anything about the abdominal wall.

I sincerely hope that he can secure the throne of emperor!

Such painstaking efforts reminded Emperor Xinglong of his past speculations about his father. He felt ashamed but also deeply moved.

"Father, I, your son, am unfilial!"

The Emperor waved his hand, frowned slightly at the sobbing Emperor Xinglong, and said,

"Alright! I'm telling you this, not listening to you!"

"Now that your body is in this state, I am also responsible."

"Rest well in the harem, and do not interfere in the war in Yangzhou."

"I will order all reports to be transmitted to the Daming Palace. Once this group of rebels in Yangzhou has been completely wiped out, I will publicly announce that it was you who orchestrated and quelled the rebellion."

"Then I will help you achieve this feat and take control of the three armies!"

Xinglong's breathing quickened when he heard this. He looked at the emperor with excitement and emotion.

"Father, I am your son, your son..."

The retired emperor looked at Emperor Xinglong and shook his head slightly.

"No need to act like a child! I abdicated the throne to you because I saw in you your ambition to serve the country wholeheartedly, and you haven't let me down in these years!"

Emperor Xinglong was deeply moved. It turned out that he had misunderstood his father for so many years!

I didn't expect that my father would bear so much for me, and even when I misunderstood him, he didn't make any excuses.

But at this moment, the Grand Emperor suddenly looked up at Emperor Xinglong with a serious expression and said,

"But you must promise me! As long as I live, you will never change the current military system."

The corners of Emperor Xinglong's eyes twitched violently, his brows furrowed slightly, and his heart sank.

But he quickly concealed it and looked at the emperor with excitement.

"Your Highness has made note of this! Thank you, Father! Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness..."

The retired emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Emperor Xinglong for a long time, took a deep breath, and sighed heavily.

"Forget it! This world will eventually be handed over to you, our descendants! One day, I will hang on the wall of the Taimiao Temple. I only hope that you can remember my words today and not be too hasty in anything!"

"No one who achieves great things in this world does it overnight."

Emperor Xinglong nodded heavily and sobbed,

"Father, I understand!"

The retired emperor was able to hold power for decades, and even after abdicating, he always held the military power firmly. It was obvious what Emperor Xinglong was thinking.

He shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Just take a good rest!"

"I have already sent people to the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Prince of Chu's Mansion to summon the Crown Prince and the Prince of Chu to the palace to handle government affairs. I will let them take charge of the affairs of the court for the next period of time. You should rest up first."
