Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The Empress's strictness towards the Fourteenth Prince was well-known in the palace.

In fact, the emperor himself had seen it with his own eyes, but he had too many sons and simply did not have time to take care of each one.

Moreover, he also hoped that his sons would be successful, so he did not stop the Empress from being strict.

"Your Majesty, although the Fourteenth Prince was only six years old last year, his riding and archery skills were already comparable to those of adult men. Your Majesty has witnessed this firsthand."

An Delu glanced at Lu Beimo.

Although An Delu also hoped that Prince Mo could stay and inherit the throne, he always felt a sense of gratitude towards Prince Mo.

However, as Mo Wang said before, my heart is dead.

King Mo is a man who never says anything out of spite.

When it's despair, it's true despair, and there's no joking about it.

He was determined to leave, and there was no way to stop him.

If they try to stop them, there will inevitably be casualties.

This is not something Andreu wanted to see.

Since that's the case, we can only go along with what the Prince of Mo wants. If the Emperor can listen to him, we can turn hostility into friendship, and at least things will be a satisfactory outcome.

The emperor remained silent, still deep in thought.

He always had reservations about placing his hopes on a seven-year-old child.

He might not be able to wait that long.

"Father, although you have more than a dozen sons, in fact, which one of them have you personally taught?" Lu Beimo suddenly asked.

These words made the emperor's face turn ugly in an instant.

Are you blaming me?

Is it because he fathered so many sons but never took responsibility?

Did he know that he was the emperor, the ruler of a country?

How can a ruler of a country have so much time and energy to focus on raising children?

"Father has misunderstood. How could I dare to resent you?"

Although Lu Beimo felt a little regretful, after all, he was also his father.

However, he was not an ordinary child, nor was his father an ordinary father.

You have to be open-minded about these things.

"What I mean is that the Fourteenth Prince is at the best age to shape his character. If he could be personally taught by you, Father, would his style of doing things be the same as yours in the future?"

These words made the emperor's eyes light up.

He never even considered personally tutoring any of the princes.

Even if he were to choose a son to inherit the throne, it would only be a matter of seeing who was capable and promising. He only needed to choose the most capable son whom he could trust.

As for his sons' upbringing, that was something he didn't need to worry about at all.

However, none of his dozen or so sons were ones he could fully trust.

Is it because he didn't personally raise or teach these dozen or so sons?

What if, from this moment on, he personally began to teach them?

The Emperor looked at Lu Beimo.

Lu Beimo stood up, bowed, and said, "Father, Ali trusts the Fourteenth Prince, so I also trust the Fourteenth Prince. Ali says the Fourteenth Prince is of good character, so I also think he is good."

"you……"

"Therefore, I may not be convinced if other princes inherit the throne, but if my fourteenth brother becomes emperor in the future, both I and Ali will do our best to assist him."

Lu Beimo looked up and met the Emperor's gaze. In his eyes was a clear honesty and sincerity.

His words were calm, yet firm: "Father, your son and Ali will wholeheartedly defend the northern border and southern Mongolia. We beg your permission, Father!"
