"Father, you have to make the decision for me!" Yuan Chengmo cried a lot when he saw Yuan Yuming.

The imperial doctor examined him and found that although he was covered in blood and looked horrifying, all the wounds were skin injuries and did not damage the muscles and bones. The most serious thing was that two large meridians in his body were severed, and he was a disabled person from then on.

There is no way to practice martial arts anymore.

After Yuan Yuming heard the truthful report from the imperial doctor, he comforted him with kind words and sent him away, but kept Yuan Qiyan.

Yuan Qiyan looked at his emperor father coldly, "Father, what do you mean?" His voice was cold and full of dissatisfaction.

Yuan Yuming glared at him, "If I hadn't intervened, wouldn't the third child have died in your hands? Envoys from various countries have gathered in Yanxing, do you want people to see the joke of your brothers killing each other?" [

Yuan Qiyan showed disdain and snorted coldly: "If I want to kill him, do you think he will still have a chance to come here to complain? I would like to ask my father, you know what good things he has done, but why?

What is the purpose of blindly favoring him?"

Yuan Yuming's eyes flickered and his tone softened, "It's true that he imprisoned Rong An, but you can't mobilize troops to besiege Prince Jing's Mansion with great fanfare. Wouldn't it be true that doing so would make people say that you are arrogant and take credit?

Don’t you have the king’s law?”

"I never care about what others say. Father, your reason is too far-fetched. I'm afraid you're doing this not just to protect my reputation, right?" Yuan Qiyan has never liked beating around the bush, and he doesn't speak in any detail.

polite.

Yuan Yuming sighed helplessly, "Do you know why I want to send out invitations to all countries this time to attend my birthday banquet?"

Yuan Qiyan has thought about this problem for a long time, "Father, do you want to take this opportunity to announce the candidate for the crown prince to other countries?"

"That's right!" Yuan Yuming said bluntly, "I have repeatedly urged you to end the war with Wu Sang as soon as possible for this reason. I originally planned to take advantage of your great achievements this time and push you to the position of crown prince. So.

First, even if you are unwilling in your heart, you will not resist the order in public and make me lose face in front of envoys from various countries..."

Yuan Qiyan frowned, "Father, do you really want me to succeed you?"

Yuan Yuming smiled bitterly, "Yes, I have made up my mind. Even if I force you, even if you resent me, I will leave the Yuan family's country in your hands. But God's calculations are not as good as those of others, and such a big mistake has happened.

If you and that girl hadn't turned the tide of the chaos, I'm afraid we wouldn't be here today.

After this incident, I suddenly realized that if I had not insisted on pushing you to the throne, the second and third sons would not have had these thoughts, and there would have been no such thing. That girl was in danger of death, but for you

After giving birth to three children, I'm afraid you have no idea of ​​​​succession. If I force you again, it will be too selfish!"

Hearing what he said from his heart, Yuan Qiyan couldn't help but be moved, "My father is devoted to the country, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is his son who is selfish. The son does not want to participate in the royal battle, and just wants to live with Hai Weilan and his children."

!”

Yuan Yuming let out a long sigh, "I understand what you are thinking. When I was young, why didn't I ever think about staying with your mother forever? But fate plays tricks on people, and I have no choice but to sit on the throne. From now on, I can't help myself!"

After a pause, he added, "I won't force you, but someone must inherit the throne. I am old and will die sooner or later. I must choose someone to inherit the throne. The second brother made a big mistake this time.

, has lost prestige in the court. As for the fourth child, there is no strong support behind him, and he is brave and foolhardy, so he may not be able to get the support of the officials. The remaining ones are too young and cannot see the foundation...
