Yuan Shixin is in the study.

Liu Piaopiao took Yuan Bingyu's hand and walked quickly towards the study.

According to convention, Chu Jinfu should take four people to wait elsewhere, but when Liu Piaopiao learned from Yuan Zhong that Yuan Bingde was in the study with a man named Sui Xing, she asked Chu Jinfu and the other four to follow her and Yuan Bingyu and go to the study together.

Sui Xing must be the mysterious shadow beside Yuan Bingde, and He is also a master of swordsmanship who worships Jiange. When Yuan Bingyu first saw this elder brother who was already a vassal king of a state, he could not lose his momentum.

In the study, Yuan Shixin put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Yuan Bingde and said, "De'er, Xuzhou should be taken as soon as possible. As for Qingzhou, he may be able to take it without blood. After I ascend the throne, I will draw an imperial edict for Qingzhou and give the one named Qi Daqiang as King Lu. I want to see what choice will the corrupt scholars in Qingzhou make."

Yuan Bingde smiled and said, "Father, my son thinks that Qingzhou is not afraid. According to our plan, when we take Xuzhou, Qingzhou will naturally bow to us. Perhaps there is no need to wait until then. After the father is emperor and announces the world, let's see how Qingzhou reacts."

Yuan Shixin nodded.

Yuan Bingde continued: "As for the King of Jiangbei in Xuzhou, he was waiting day and night for our army to march eastward to help them quell the rebellion."

Yuan Shixin suddenly asked, "Is this person Ji Shi Zi reliable?"

Yuan Bingde was silent for a moment and said, "It may not be reliable, but according to our plan, he is just an abandoned son. As for Su Ming, Ning Yunqing told me that this person is trustworthy."

Yuan Shixin stroked his beard under his jaw and nodded slightly, "This matter depends on your arrangement. The plan in Bazhou is good. Xie Liangchen in Jingzhou is afraid that it will be a little difficult to chew. Then give him a chance to breathe for the time being. But the father still said the same thing, don't let some chess pieces break away from your control, otherwise you will be very passive."

Yuan Bingde lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Father, my son understand."

Yuan Shixin glanced at Sui Xing, who was standing behind Yuan Bingde.

He ordered He Yu and Sui Xing to follow Yuan Bingde into the study.

Why did Yuan Shixin have seen him several times? So why did he stand behind Yuan Bingde with his sword after greeting him? He didn't say a word?

Sui Xing greeted Yuan Shixin after Yuan Bingde introduced him.

He was just like Yu, but he bowed to Yuan Shixin and did not bow down.

Yuan Shixin didn't care either.

Now is not the time to set rules for the people in the world.

Regarding Sui Xing, Yuan Bingde didn't know the thinness of his feet, so he didn't introduce it too much.

What surprised him was that Yuan Shixin did not interrogate Sui Xing, which made Yuan Bingde a little disappointed.

After all, there were some things that Yuan Bingde was not convenient to ask Sui Xing in detail.

This is his embarrassment.

Although Sui Xing obeyed him, he was not under his control.

In Yuan Bingde's view, if he cannot control a person's life and death, he will not be considered absolute control of a person.

Sui Xing, whose eyes were slightly closed, seemed not to see Yuan Shixin's gaze.

Yuan Shixin withdrew his gaze and looked at Yuan Bingde and said, "De'er, what do you think of the arrangements made after the father ascended the throne?"

When Yuan Bingde heard this, he knew that what he should come or not.

He thought about it all the way, but he still didn't understand why Yuan Shixin refused to sign him up as the crown prince. Is it really because of the illegitimate son of him and Liu Piaopiao?

Yuan Shi's envelope of Liu Piaopiao for the queen was a bit beyond Yuan Bingde's surprise, but he had no objection to this, because his mother had passed away long ago. Yuan Shixin had not re-established for many years, and there was only Liu Piaopiao hidden in the dark. If he had any opinions on this matter, he would be really ignorant.

This is also his attitude to Yuan Shixin.

An attitude of being a son.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shixin had another son, which was born to Liu Piaopiao, which made Yuan Bingde think about it more.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The child only thought about helping his father open up remote areas, and he didn't think much about the others."

A very suitable answer.

But in Yuan Shixin's opinion, it is not suitable.

Because he knew that this was not Yuan Bingde's truth.

If it is not the truth, what's the use of saying it nicely?

But many people like to indulge in nice words and can’t extricate themselves.

Yuan Shixin picked up the teacup.

When Yuan Bingde saw that Yuan Shixin didn't speak, he knew that what he said just now was not what Yuan Shixin wanted to hear.

After thinking about it, he looked up and asked, "Father, why did you hide your second brother for so long? What is the secret behind this?"

This is the topic he should raise.

Yuan Shixin put down the teacup, looked at Yuan Bingde and corrected: "It's third brother, De'er, have you forgotten Ren'er?"

Ren'er in his mouth is the second son who died prematurely, Yuan Bingren.

Yuan Bingde hurriedly said, "Yes, it's the third brother, father, suddenly there is such a younger brother, and the child is indeed a little surprised."

Yuan Shixin said: "I have offended many people in Yuzhou over the years. After all, Yuzhou is not as good as Yangzhou. In order to avoid someone being unfavorable to Yu'er, I have to threaten me. I cannot do so, so that I can let him live in a private house. The reason why I didn't inform you in advance is that I was afraid that the news would leak out. After all, there may not be trustworthy people around you."

Yuan Bingde said in a deep voice: "The father is still meticulous."

Then he stood up and bowed and said, "Don't worry, Father, I will treat Yu'er, this younger brother. He is still young now, so I'll leave the charge to me."

Yuan Shixin asked again: "De'er, do you know why the father chose not to be appointed as the crown prince after he ascended the throne?"

Yuan Bingde lowered his head slightly and said, "The father's move must be of great significance, but the child has never thought about it!"

"Didn't you think too much?"

Yuan Shixin chuckled a few times, then looked at Yuan Bingde and said, "De'er, you should think about it. Only after thinking about it will you have the heart to help your father fight in the south and north. As for why I don't enthrone the crown prince, you need to think about it carefully. However, the father must first remind you that it doesn't matter if you have your own power, but don't let the villain take advantage of the loopholes and provoke the father and son and brothers of you and me and Yu'er."

Only then did Yuan Bingde understand why Yuan Shixin did not decide to enthrone him as the crown prince after ascending the throne.

In fact, with Yuan Bingde's mind, this matter is not difficult to imagine, it is just a mystery to the authorities.

His mind has always been on his younger brother he had never met, and Yuan Shixin planned to appoint his biological mother Liu Piaopiao as the queen, so he did not think about the prince in other ways.

There is no way. Although he is the eldest son, he was not born to Yuan Shixin's official concubine.

Yuan Bingde believed what Yuan Shixin said, but he did not fully believe what he said.

After all, he has a younger brother.

Yuan Bingde bowed and said, "Don't worry, Father, De'er will do his best to assist the father and set an example for Yuer."

Yuan Shixin nodded and said, "Yuer will follow your mother in a while. I hope you don't have the only father in your eyes."

Yuan Bingde was about to speak, but Yuan Zhong pushed the door and entered.

After hearing the movement, Yuan Shixin asked loudly: "But Yuan Zhong?"

Yuan Zhong ran in and said, "Your Majesty, old slave, it's the Empress and the Second Prince who arrived, and he is waiting outside the door."

After walking to the door of the study, Liu Piaopiao did not push the door directly into the door as usual, but asked Yuan Zhongxian to go in and report.

Yuan Shixin stood up and said, "What are you doing here to fiddle with these vulgar gifts? Let them come in!"

Yuan Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, General Chu brought four people and came down with the Second Prince's Palace, but they were announced together?"

Yuan Shixin glanced at Yuan Bingde and said, "Since you are here, come in so that Chu Jinfu and De'er can meet."

Yuan Zhong was ordered to leave.

After a while, Liu Piaopiao led Yuan Bingyu into the study, and Chu Jinfu followed closely, and four others followed Chu Jinfu.

Just as Liu Piaopiao was about to salute, Yuan Shixin waved his hand and said, "The courtesy will be spared, Queen, come and sit down."

Chu Jinfu led the four people behind him to kneel on one knee and said in unison: "I have seen the Lord!"

Yuan Shixin nodded and said, "Old Chu, you guys will sit there and rest for a while, I will have orders for you later."

After saying that, he said to Yuan Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, show General Chu the tea!"

Chu Jinfu and his friends were waiting in the outer hall.

Liu Piaopiao smiled at Yuan Shixin, but did not rush to go over, but turned around and looked at Yuan Bingde and the two behind him.

Seeing Liu Piaopiao looking over, Sui Xing bowed slightly to Liu Piaopiao and said, "Sui Xing has seen the queen!"

As for what, I just pretend to turn a blind eye.

Sui Xing kicked him lightly.

He then nodded at Liu Piaopiao and said, "Why have you seen the queen?"

At this time, Yuan Bingde's eyes were still on the child led by Liu Piaopiao.

Yuan Bingyu was a little scared and hid behind Liu Piaopiao. As for what Mr. Jiao said to him, he had already forgotten it.

How could he not be afraid when he saw so many people in life suddenly?

Especially his father who looks very majestic, he has always been afraid.

Yuan Bingde had thought about the scenes where he met his younger brother many years old.

In the scene he imagined, there was absolutely no scene like this now.

For some reason, he saw that the child was not angry or disgusted.

Is it really because he is his younger brother?
