Zheng Yu thought for a moment, but thought of the great man in his previous life. He sighed in his heart, but had to admit that at least from these points of view, the greater the politician, the more unfortunate the fate of his descendants is, and it is not unreasonable. However, when he heard the emperor's words later, he always felt like a charlatan in his previous life. But he also felt that the emperor seemed to believe in these things, so naturally he would not argue with the emperor.

"Sometimes ago, he said that my life star has changed, and the Lord has descendants. Sure enough, your mother is pregnant." The emperor said, "I should have been happy, but... I already have you as the prince. I have to consider this country."

Zheng Yu was nervous, but his subordinates were still very stable.

"If you are a child without talent, it's fine. If you have ambition, I will just hide you; if you have no ambition, I will let you be a free prince, read the newspaper, be a professor, and take care of some charity. But you are a talented person and deeply loved. Originally, I looked at these days and felt that no matter how hard you practice, you might not be unable to inherit my position. But you are an adopted son, and now I look at it, but I am very likely to have a legitimate son." The emperor repeatedly said that he had a lot of money.

He let out a sigh, "What do you think I should do? If I continue to let you sit in this seat and wait for me to die in the sky, can you tolerate my young child in the future? Even if you can tolerate him, what about his subordinates? What about your subordinates? Why did the emperor have to establish a legitimate position but not a eldest? Isn't this etiquette and law not tolerate? Even if I built this empire and introduced Western learning, the concept of inheritance of the throne is deeply rooted in China. Even if I disagree with all my opinions, how will those ambitious people waste their lives?"

"But if I don't let you sit in this position, and I don't even have to depose your captain. As long as the news of the queen being pregnant is spread, I'm afraid that many people in the empire will have various thoughts about what will happen to those people around you? What will they do if they get on your ship? How will they urge you? Are you really willing to do it yourself?"

Zheng Yu was speechless.

"Don't blame me, I am the father and the emperor. You are all my children, and this empire is also my children." The emperor took a deep breath, but the words he said made Zheng Yu's heart beat faster.

"You said you don't know what to do about this matter and you have to obey my arrangements. But the problem is," the emperor smiled bitterly, "The problem is, I don't know what to do either."

The emperor stretched out his hand and grabbed Zheng Yu's right hand. Zheng Yu trembled slightly, but still let the other party hold it firmly. He felt the old and powerful hand, the warmth coming from the aged skin, and a trace of haze and fear in his heart seemed to gradually melt away, leaving only deep sorrow.

"Uncle, Xiaoyu," a figure appeared at the door, the queen with a tired face looked at the two of them with red eyes. The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his wife in surprise.

"Xiaoyun, you..."

"I am your wife and Xiaoyu's mother. I can't watch you destroy this family." The queen walked over slowly and hugged the two of them tightly in her arms. The emperor's head was lying on the queen's lower abdomen, as if feeling the faint heartbeat, and Zheng Yu gently placed his head on his mother's shoulder.

"You are all children, like children fighting for a toy." The queen said softly, "Maybe it's my fault... But, I must be born with this child, and I want to leave a descendant for the uncle. But Xiaoyu, you will always be my son, your father's son."

She stroked the emperor's aging cheek with her hands and said softly: "Uncle, you say that the empire is your child, you have to consider this country. But you have to consider me, I am your wife... You have to consider your biological child too. Do you want him to bear the sin of killing his brother? If you hurt Xiaoyu for him, how can you let him face this cruel fact in the future?"

"If you want to hurt Xiaoyu and destroy this family, I will die with Xiaoyu." The queen's voice trembled, but she was particularly firm. "Leave you alone and stay alone in this world, and see how you become your emperor."

The emperor looked up suddenly and looked at his wife in disbelief.

"Uncle, Xiaoyu is a good child, our son. You can't regard him as the same tool and symbol as others." The queen said in pain, "How sad I will be like this... I don't want you to become such a person."

The emperor looked at his wife silently, his heart trembling violently.

The queen is not a simple little girl. She is much smarter than most people, but she still maintains her trust in the emperor. Despite the years of turmoil, she still infers her husband from the kindness and bright side and strives to create a warm and comfortable family. But this is also her last bottom line. If the emperor wants to destroy these, the queen's last belief and dependence will be gone, and she will have nothing to love.

The emperor seemed to see the queen's determination, and he slowly closed his eyes.

"Father, what you said makes sense." Zheng Yu raised his head from his adoptive mother's shoulder and said softly, "My son has decided."

The emperor was silent for a while, suddenly raised his head, stood up straight, and looked at Zheng Yu with bright eyes.

"Father, I have thought about it carefully before. I have thought about escaping from trouble. I have even thought about using the call of purging the king to win over a group of powerful people. I have thought about being Li Shimin." Zheng Yu had only calmness and tranquility in his heart at this moment, "But I am not qualified to do this. You are the most ideal ruler of this country now. This country is not my private property. I cannot drag so many people to bury them together for my ambitions."

"Today, I walked in Beijing for a long time." Zheng Yu said frankly, "I see so many people, each of whom has their own lives, their own dreams and pursuits. This world is not only mine, but also their father and mother. This world belongs to everyone here. They are my compatriots, people like me. They all have the right to pursue their dreams and complete their lives according to their own wishes. I am not qualified to take them to bury them."

"No matter what, I will obey you and support you unconditionally." Zheng Yu said word by word, "If the younger brother is born, his son will not be the crown prince anymore. He just wants to be an idle person in the capital and respect his parents."

The emperor stared at him, and after a while, the corner of his mouth curled slightly: "You want to hide? Can you hide?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the queen's face turned pale.

"You said you wouldn't do it if you didn't do it? You have the final say in this matter. Giving a child is your mother and I'm with me. Giving a boy or a girl is not your turn to get involved." The emperor looked at the queen and gradually smiled, "I am the head of the family. You don't have to listen to me when you decide this matter. Xiaoyun, you have to give birth to your child well and be safe for the mother and son. As for Xiaoyu, the country is so stable, you, the prince, don't want to leave, and do it for me honestly. If the one who gave birth to a sister, if I am gone in the future, you and your mother will find a good family for her. I really can't find it. If you have a good relationship with her, you have to marry her, but you have to be the wife. You understand this. If you are a younger brother, let's see if he is the material."

Zheng Yu was stunned, but he didn't expect the emperor to say these words, and the queen's tears could no longer stop flowing, but she just looked at her husband with a smile.

"It's really not a material. I'm afraid he can't save it in the end and it's a shame." The emperor breathed a long sigh, "I don't deny that my biological child does feel like he's kissing. But the emperor is not a good job. If he barely gives it to him, it may have hurt him."

He paused, and a strange look appeared on his face: "I think when the child succeeded to the throne, he was just an ignorant child. If he had some talent and wanted to sit in this position, Xiaoyu, you are a regent and help you, the unsatisfied brother, would be good, at least it would be better than if this country fell into the hands of a powerful minister with a foreign surname."

Zheng Yu was a little confused when he heard this, but he knew that his danger had been resolved. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but his face showed a little fatigue and joy. The queen hugged the emperor tightly and finally started to cry bitterly, but the crying was filled with joy.

"Mother, you are pregnant." Zheng Yu smiled, "Don't hurt my future younger brother and sister. I'm still waiting to take the baby to play... Sophie told me that she likes children very much. Let her practice more at that time, and she will be more familiar with my child in the future."

The queen burst into tears and smiled, waved her hand and patted her head: "Take your younger brother and sister for an experiment? Ask for a beating..."

The emperor looked at his wife, then at the adopted son. Looking at the tears and smiles on the young man's face, a trace of coldness gradually turned into warmth. He hugged his wife with one hand and hugged his adopted son in his arms with the other, and kissed them. Zheng Yu was thorned in his beard, but his heart was surprisingly unresisting.

"You are all my relatives," the emperor murmured, with a complicated tone, but it was particularly sincere. "I have been experiencing my life, but in the end, there are only a few relatives who can always be with me. Beware of this and that, life is too tiring, too dark, and too boring. It is only because of you that life in this life becomes warm."

"I will not be Qin Shihuang, Tang Taizong, or Peter I. I will let all my relatives live well and live the life they want." The emperor's voice suddenly rose, and it seemed particularly loud on this night. "My family must be harmonious and no matter how the wind and rain outside, I will stand behind you and protect you. It is the Lantern Festival soon, and our family will celebrate it well. By next year, we will have to go to another pair of chopsticks."

At this moment, Zheng Yu finally trembled from the bottom of his heart: "Dad..."

Tears flowed from everyone's eyes.
