After the crown prince left, all the ministers in the palace looked at the direction in which the king of Chu and the prince left.

The determination and will of the King of Chu to move the capital just now, they will not doubt it.

However, just now, the king of Chu left with an unusually laugh, but it made them hesitate in their hearts.

What did King Chu mean just now?

Is it to anger the opposition of the ministers? Or is it a laugh to cover it up? Or has the king of Chu dismissed the idea of moving the capital in the wave of opposition from his ministers?

Or did the King of Chu pay attention to other things, such as various breakthroughs?

Looking at the direction in which the prince left, the ministers were all thoughtful.

On the other side, after the crown prince was summoned by the king of Chu, he immediately chased after the king of Chu.

Soon, the crown prince walked quickly to Xiong Huai's side and saluted: "Father! I don't know what my father commanded when he summoned his sons? ”

Xiong Huai stopped, glanced at the prince with a smile, then shook his head, and said as he walked forward: "Prince, walk with the widow." ”

"Yes, Father." The crown prince hesitantly glanced at his father who was walking in front, not knowing what his father was thinking at this time.

Why are you smiling and shaking your head?

Are you happy because you just laughed at your opposition to moving the capital?

Or are you shaking your head and dissatisfied because you just opposed the relocation of the capital?

Alas!

The prince sighed in his heart.

This was the first time he felt embarrassed about being a prince, because he couldn't guess what his father, who was both a king and a father, was thinking.

In the past, his father and Taifu only taught him the strategy of governing the country, even when he was in charge of the country, he also had Yin Quyuan and others on the side to assist, these people taught him the way to govern the country by words and deeds, and taught him how to compete with other countries.

However, in the past few decades, no one has ever taught to speculate on people's hearts.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, as the future king of Chu, he only needs to be able to govern the country, understand military affairs, and then not suffer losses in the competition between countries.

However, it was only today that he discovered that even as a prince, he had to learn to speculate on people's hearts and know what other people thought.

For example, his father, now he doesn't know what his father is thinking at the moment, he doesn't know if he did the right thing or wrong, and he doesn't know where he did it wrong.

At this moment, if the state marquis is by their side, if he also knows how to guess people's hearts, if he is now the king of Chu, then... Maybe I wouldn't have the troubles I have now.

Just as the crown prince was thinking wildly, he had already followed Xiong Huai to a pavilion in the harem garden.

At this time, Xiong Huai waved his hand to disperse the guards who were following him, and then sat on the seat in the pavilion, and said to the prince who followed him: "The prince sits." ”

"Hmmm..." As soon as the crown prince heard his father's words, he immediately gathered his thoughts, and then responded: "Yes, father." ”

After the prince sat down, Xiong Huai looked at the prince and groaned for a long time, and then asked, "Prince, has it been a long time since our father and son have sat together and talked like this?" ”

The crown prince was stunned, and then looked at his father opposite at a loss.

At this moment, the crown prince is trying to remember, remembering the last time their father and son sat together and talked like now...

However, he thought about it for a long time, and finally had no choice but to give up.

Because his memory was blurry, he couldn't remember the last time their father and son had spoken together so intimately.

In the two years before his crown ceremony, he spent all day hanging out with Jingyang and others, hunting together, scourging women together, and running rampant in Yingdu together.

In those years, he was profligate and had a happy life.

After that, Jingyang joined the army, and after that, the predecessor Xiang Chengjun committed suicide, especially after marrying the crown princess, under the suppression of his father and queen mother, and under the nagging of the prince, he restrained himself and behaved to the present.

For more than twenty years, it was as if their father had never spoken like this.

And before that, had they ever spoken like that?

Perhaps!

It's just that he doesn't remember anymore.

Thinking about it, the prince said in a daze: "It seems like a long time!" ”

Listening to the prince's voice, Xiong Huai was stunned, and then sighed: "Prince, do you say that being a father is a failed king, is it a failed father." ”

When the prince heard this, he immediately looked at Xiong Huai in horror, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Why did my father say this, my father attacked Qin and attacked Qi, destroyed Yue in one battle, defeated the coalition army several times, and shocked the world, and his achievements have surpassed the previous kings, who dares to say that my father is a failed king." ”

As he spoke, the prince looked at Xiong Huai with admiration: "As a son of man, Erchen has always been proud of his father, and he has always taken his father as an example, and Erchen thinks that his father is the greatest father in the world." ”

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "If the widow is really virtuous, why the Jianghuai nobles rebelled, if the widow is really virtuous, why did the ministers and nobles oppose it as soon as the widow proposed, if the widow is really a great father, why even the widow's son came out to oppose the widow!" ”

"This... This..." The prince was stunned and looked at Xiong Huai in shock.

He originally thought that this was a heart-to-heart conversation between father and son, but he never thought that in a blink of an eye, this heart-to-heart conversation would become a father, a king, and a father forcibly forcing him to submit.

Although he didn't want to move the capital to Shou County, he didn't want to lose his team, he didn't want to leave Yingdu, where he had lived for more than 40 years, and he didn't want to stay away from his mother's mausoleum or even his father's mausoleum in the future.

However, at this moment, in the face of his father's penetrating gaze, he bowed his head, he gave in, and replied very reluctantly: "Father, the son is wrong, and the son asks his father to move the capital to Shou County." ”

Xiong Huai looked at the prince's reluctant face, shook his head and said, "The prince doesn't have to force himself. ”

The crown prince immediately forced a smile and said: "Father, the son is sincere, not reluctant at all. ”

Xiong Huai looked at the prince's clumsy acting skills, shook his head and sighed: "Prince~~ Do you know that after the reform began, when the nobles in the country were panicking, he did not hesitate to move the capital to Shou County in the opposition of all the ministers, who is this for his father?" ”

"This..." The prince was in a mess and looked at Xiong Huai blankly.

Could it be that the father moved the capital for the sake of others, not for the father himself?

For whom did the father move the capital?

At this time, Xiong Huai saw that the prince was in a state of hesitation, and immediately said with an awe-inspiring face: "Everyone in the world can oppose the widow moving the capital, but you can't, the prince, because the reason why the widow moved the capital..."

Saying that, Xiong Huai's tone changed, and he became affectionate: "The widow insists on moving the capital, this is all for you, the prince!" ”

"For me?" The prince looked at Xiong Huai at a loss, and his mind was completely confused.

The reason why my father wanted to move the capital to Shou County despite the opposition of all the ministers, including Ling Yin, was it for me?

It's unbelievable!

Even, when I couldn't figure out why I wanted to move the capital to Shou County, my father moved the capital Shou County for me in advance!

Is my father really for me?
