Chapter 117 The Emperor's Position
There was a cool smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, "Perhaps, I should call him Fu Canyang now?"

Du Yunlie knew that no matter what he couldn't hide from his brother, he didn't hide anything anymore, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

"What does he want?" asked the emperor.

Du Yunlie said: "No matter what he wants to do, Brother Huang doesn't need to worry. With my ministers around, I will never let him do anything recklessly."

What the emperor wanted was Du Yunlie's words, and he glanced at him, "It's good that you know."

The two brothers were silent for a while, and the emperor suddenly said: "Back then, you deliberately let him go and didn't take his life. Did you ever think that this day would happen?"

One sentence made Du Yunlie unable to lie down any longer, he got up and knelt down on the ground, ignoring the pain behind him, lowered his head and said: "Brother Huang..."

The emperor's complexion was gloomy, with hints of anger, and he finally sighed: "The emperor's family has been ruthless since ancient times. Lie Er, I told you five years ago that since the killing has started, you must be ruthless. Letting the tiger go back to the mountain is like cutting the grass." If the roots are not eradicated, what remains will be a disaster. Just wait and see, a strong wind is about to rise, and the world is bound to usher in another bloody storm."

Du Yunlie couldn't even raise his head, he knew that it was his mistake that caused today's disaster.
But let him kill his siblings with his own hands, how can he do it?
The emperor knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

This younger brother of mine has the talents of the world, and is a good minister who can stabilize the country, but his heart is too soft and his compassion is too strong, so he will definitely not be a monarch.

Otherwise, based on the father's love for Lie'er during his lifetime, it is impossible not to pass the throne to him, but to himself.

The royal father said to him personally: "Qing'er, I love you two brothers the most in my life. You are the eldest son, born in my prime of life, and have condensed the most painstaking effort, and Lie'er is my youngest son, who is my most beloved son." Lie'er is a genius. He is generous and kind. He was originally a good seedling to be an emperor, but unfortunately, he is too soft-hearted. In this troubled world, if he wants to build a career and want the world to be peaceful, a benevolent king is not as good as a tyrant. Knowing your great talent and strategy, I will hand over the throne to you, but I want you to agree to one condition..."

Looking back on the past, the emperor sighed with sadness in his eyes: "Wanting peace in the world, is it easier said than done?

Since the emperor handed over the throne to me when my father left, no matter what, I will definitely keep Li country peaceful, do you understand? "

Du Yunlie responded respectfully, "Understood."

He understood the meaning of what the emperor said.

Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

For them, the Li country is their home, and they have to protect their home first before they have the capital and ability to bring peace to the world.

Du Yunlie raised his head, looked at the emperor firmly, and said seriously: "Brother Huang, don't worry, since I have chosen this path, I will go back to this position, and I will do my best to assist Brother Huang to keep our Li country safe and the world peaceful."

The emperor's eyes showed a gentle smile, he stretched out his hand to touch Du Yunlie's head, and sighed: "Lie'er, you will understand in the future, for whom I did all this."

Du Yunlie showed a harmless smile, "Don't worry, brother, I know that your iron fist today is to pave the way for Ning'er, but Ning'er is still young, so there is no need to rush to make plans for him, besides, Ning'er is smart , as long as you teach carefully, you will definitely be a generation of virtuous kings in the future."

The emperor stared at Du Yunlie for a while, his heart was shocked, and he blurted out a sentence without thinking, "Lie Er, have you never thought of being an emperor?"

Du Yunlie was shocked when he heard this, and remained silent for a long time.

The emperor knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and he pursed his lips and didn't know what to say.

Du Yunlie was greatly shocked by the words of the emperor's brother, and his heart turned a thousand times. He knew that the emperor had never tolerated courtiers who coveted the throne at all. A slight mistake would be a crime of treason. He has always kept this in mind, brother Now he is not only the eldest brother, but also the emperor. When he calls out "brother emperor", there is always a lot of hierarchy in it.

No matter how close he was, he never dared to cross the line easily.Could it be that recently, I was too casual and offended brother Huang.

Could it be that Brother Huang suspects that he has the intention to replace him?

Thinking of this, Du Yunlie didn't care much, walked back two steps on his knees, kowtowed deeply to the emperor, knelt up straight, raised his palms and said, "My brother, Du Yunlie swears in the name of the royal family that he will never covet the throne for the slightest bit." , if there is half a false statement, it will be punished by heaven."

After speaking, he kowtowed deeply and prostrated himself on the ground.

The emperor was very sad. As soon as he said the words, he knew that something was wrong.

Lie'er has always been a thoughtful person, so he must have misunderstood when he said that.

The emperor sighed deeply and lifted Du Yunlie up from the ground. Seeing that he was still trembling, he patted his hand in relief: "Why are you so scared? I just said it casually. Your temper, Don't I know, even if you put a knife on your neck and make you the emperor, you won't do it."

Du Yunlie raised his head timidly, seeing Brother Huang's smile, he was relieved.

He lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, what I said just now was not just casually. No one knows better than Brother Huang why my younger brother returned to Beijing and why he sat on the throne. If it wasn't for Brother Huang, younger brother I have traveled all over the world with my master, will I still be in charge of the food and drink of more than [-] imperial guards in the capital?"

Du Yunlie originally wanted to express his sincerity, but in the end, he felt a little bit of resentment at the end.

"Stinky boy..." Du Yunlie laughed angrily at the emperor, slapped him lightly on the buttocks, and scolded, "Are you complaining that I'm dragging you down?"

Du Yunlie gritted his teeth in pain when he was photographed on the wound, and simply knelt down in front of the emperor, raised his face and begged: "Brother Emperor, I want to ask my elder brother for a favor."

"What grace?"

Du Yunlie said: "When the world is at peace, I ask the emperor to be merciful and allow the younger brother to disarm and return to the farm, resign from office and retire."

The emperor looked at Du Yunlie's determined look, and sighed again in his heart. These days, he also saw that his younger brother's smile was much more, and that smile was sincere, not fake at all.

He belongs to the rivers and lakes, and he yearns for freedom and mountains and rivers the most. It's just that after so many years of fighting on the battlefield, so many years of treacherous courts, he still hasn't changed his original intention and desire. Thinking about it, I feel a little distressed.

But Lie Er, do you know what my father told me when he was dying?
"I can pass on the throne to you, but I need you to promise me one condition."

"Father, please speak."

"I want you, when the world is at peace, to pass the throne to Lie Er and let him succeed you as the throne, will you agree?"

"Father, don't worry, my son agrees."

The emperor looked at Du Yunlie and said in his heart: Lie'er, do you understand that everything the elder brother has done is paving the way for you.
