Chapter 130
Xiao Qi'er thought about it seriously, and asked: "Father, are you talking about corruption?"

"Ah."

"Then why not punish them?"

Xiao Yichen frowned and said, "Almost all officials, large and small, are involved in corruption. If we want to deal with it all at once, the entire officialdom will be in turmoil. In this way, the foundation of the imperial court will be greatly affected, so we can only boil frogs in warm water."

Xiao Qi'er understood what his father meant: "Thank you for your advice."

Xiao Yichen looked at him for a long time, then suddenly sighed softly.

"Qi'er, there are some things that I don't want you to understand now, but you have to remember that you are the future emperor and the prince of Yueli, and the responsibilities you shoulder are far beyond those of ordinary children. For more, you will be more tired, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired."

"But you have no choice, no matter how tired you are, you have to grit your teeth and bear it. Father originally wanted to wait for you to grow up and slowly teach you the way of being a king, but father is not in good health, and he has no time, and he can't wait for you grow up."

"Father..." For the first time, Xiao Qi'er's big eyes abandoned the calmness shown, and the eyes filled with water, showing the expression that a six-year-old child should have when facing his father.

"Don't cry." Xiao Yichen said in a harsh tone, "You are the prince, don't cry."

"You will face many more cruel things alone in the future, but my first request to you is that you are not allowed to give up and shed tears at any time. That is the performance of the weak. As the future emperor, you can only do A strong man, do you understand?"

Xiao Qi'er bowed his head in deep thought, Xiao Yichen didn't rush him, but just waited quietly.

After a long while, Xiao Qi'er raised his head, the drops of water in his eyes disappeared completely, and a steady and polite look was put on his still immature face, but the blush around the eye sockets that has not subsided still proved that it came from a six-year-old child just now. sadness.

"My son understands."

Xiao Yichen nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "I always thought that I could live a few more years, so that I didn't let you lose the happiness you deserved too early. This is my mistake, so you have to listen carefully now."

"If something happens to me, King An and King Cheng in the capital will definitely rebel, and they may coerce the emperor to command the princes. Then you will be very dangerous, but you must find ways to save your life and not let the two kings succeed in their rebellion."

"The situation in the capital is a bit chaotic now. Apart from King An and King Cheng, there are other forces around the corner. Even in the imperial court, there are many people who are not loyal to me under my nose. I will clean it up for you as much as possible before leaving. clean."

"When that time comes, you may be surrounded by people you can't trust, but there are two people you can trust. One is your grandfather, Prime Minister Gong Yu, and the other is..."

Xiao Yichen paused for a moment, and complex emotions emerged from his sharp eyes.

"Who is it?" Xiao Qier asked.

"King Qi."

"Uncle Six?" Xiao Qier asked in surprise.

"What?" Xiao Yichen raised his brows, "Have you had contact with him before?"

Xiao Qi'er was a little conflicted, but still nodded: "I met Uncle Liuhuang on the road last time on my birthday, and Uncle Liuhuang sent me back to Zhengyang Palace."

Xiao Yichen asked in a deep voice, "Then what did he tell you?"

Xiao Qi'er replied honestly: "I only asked me some homework, and also told me some principles of life."

Xiao Yichen was silent for a while and didn't say anything.

He only said: "Your Sixth Emperor Uncle is your greatest reliance. If he sincerely protects you, no one can easily touch you, but if he thinks that you are not worthy of being an enlightened monarch, he may watch your life and death with cold eyes."

Xiao Qi'er seriously replied: "My son knows, and I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."
