Father can be an enemy to the country

A game of three-player checkers has reached the middle of the game. The five and six children are still interlocking in the middle, but the prince's chess pieces have already arrived at the door of the house. There are only a few moves left before they are all in.

"Brother, I have a question." Lao Wu, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but asked softly: "Since you are happy to see your father and sixth brother struggling, why do you have to... reserve your opinions every time? ?Isn’t it contradictory?”

"Lao Wu listened very seriously." The prince smiled and said to Zhu Xi, "The answer lies in what Lao Liu just said."

"What did Lao Liu say just now?" King Zhou thought about it carefully. Fortunately, Lao Liu didn't say a few useful words just now. He asked tentatively: "Is it 'as long as you do something, there will be people who will object'?"

"That's right." The prince nodded and smiled: "Think about it, since there will definitely be opposition, is it better for me to be the leader of the opposition, or to let others be the leader?"

"Of course, let the eldest brother take charge." King Zhou said without hesitation: "The eldest brother's objection is harmless. If others object, they may not cause trouble."

"Haha, Lao Wu is right." The prince smiled approvingly and said: "In the eyes of those who oppose the reform, they are bad people. Of course I, the opponent, am a good person. All the opponents will naturally gather to my side. , instead of building another mountain."

"And I am the crown prince, the future emperor. If I come to be the leader of the opposition, the opposition will inevitably have illusions. Although it is uncomfortable now, the future will be long. If you endure it, you will be comfortable in the future. As long as people have hope, even if it is just extravagant hope. , then it will not go to extremes, and it will be preventable and controllable. There will be much less resistance to my father's great reform cause."

"Besides, I can still get a good reputation, so why not?" The prince put the last marble into the opposite corner and sipped the tea happily: "I won."

"I'll go..." The five and six were dumbfounded when they heard this. They usually always say that this one is evil and that other is evil, but this is the real evil one!

Thinking about it, for so many years, my eldest brother has never stopped him from whatever his father wanted to do. But he is still the only hope for the ruling and opposition parties, and the most ideal future monarch in everyone's hearts.

Those who regard their eldest brother as their savior are those who helped count the money after being sold...

Compared with his elder brother, a dirty-hearted guy like Lao Liu becomes a pure little white rabbit.

Lao Liu suddenly thought of that sentence, the black fan is actually the biggest fan. The eldest brother has never been in the rice circle, but he is self-taught without a teacher.

"Haha, you know that your eldest brother is one of your own, are you completely relieved now?" the prince said with a warm smile. If he hadn't wanted to completely dispel his brothers' doubts, he would never have expressed his feelings like this.

"Fifth brother, don't worry, the eldest brother is of course one of our own." Lao Liu said with a reassuring smile: "This will never change."

"I'm a doctor, so why should I worry?" Lao Wu smiled and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're going to lose."

His chess pieces are basically ready, but Lao Liu is still early.

At this time, the loud voice of the Crown Princess came from inside: "Your Highnesses, come, come."

"Oh, here we come." Lao Liu dropped his marbles and ran in like a haha. "What are your orders, sister-in-law?"

"This guy is acting like a fool again." The prince laughed loudly and pulled Lao Wu up and walked into the bedroom.

Then they saw Zhang Xunzhen holding his third child in his arms, and heard the Crown Princess laughing and asking, "How about letting the third child recognize the real sister Xunzhen as his godmother?"

"That's perfect." The prince said without thinking: "Without Zhenren Zhang, how could there be a mistress in this world?"

The more Lao Liu listened, the weirder he felt. Why did he feel that his green tea fairy had become the mother of Xiao San'er?

Co-author Zhang Xunzhen was the first mistress. Without her, there would be no mistress? That's not possible. Xiao Zhou was the first one to refuse.

However, he couldn't find fault. Because the descendants of Lao Zhu's family were all named by Boss Zhu himself during the full moon. Only Zhu Xiongying became famous right away...

Although this doll shares the same father and mother as Xiongying, it is obviously not worthy of this treatment. So it is still in a state of anonymity.

None of the princes or grandsons have nicknames, so at this stage they are all called by ranking. But when you call him Lao San, you always feel like you are calling a certain Jin King, so the prince calls his third son "Little San'er"...

This makes sense.

"If the head of the house agrees, it's settled. When the third son is one month old, he will officially recognize his godmother!" The princess didn't know that the third son would have other meanings in the future. She said happily: "The old people say, 'Two fathers, two fathers'. "Mother, you are blessed with good luck and good fortune, you can turn misfortune into good luck and disaster into good fortune." His godmother will definitely ensure that my third son is free from illness and disaster till the end of the 99th year."

"That's not right, sister-in-law." At this time, Princess Zhou said with a smile: "What you just said was 'two fathers and two mothers'. Now it is a single father and two mothers. You have to find a godfather for the third son."

"Pfft..." Lao Liu almost couldn't hold himself any longer. Good guy, the taste has changed now.

"That's going to be difficult." The Crown Princess sighed: "His godmother is a young lady, how can she get it right?"

"Yes." Princess Zhou looked at Lao Liu with a smile and said, "But if it's Uncle Liu, it won't be a mess, right?"

"Isn't it chaotic?" Lao Liu said angrily: "I am his sixth father, so why am I his godfather again? Why are I getting more and more extravagant?"

"What's the point? You are still both Xiongying's uncle and Xiongying's master." The Crown Princess smiled.

"I, you..." Lao Liu was speechless and could only give his sister-in-law a thumbs up.

"His godmother, do you have any objection?" The Crown Princess asked Zhang Xunzhen for his opinion symbolically.

"It doesn't matter if you are a poor person." Zhang Xunzhen said calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him: "Whatever your Majesty says."

"Then it's settled, the sixth child will be the godfather to the third child, and the sister Xunzhen will be the godmother to the third child!" the princess agreed happily.

"Yes..." Lao Liu couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't expect that he would be involved.

Although it was one of my previous dreams to be a godfather to my mistress. But this kind of dream come true is something I never dreamed of...

~~

In this era where "filial piety comes first", parents are not recognized casually.

After the person is determined, a formal ceremony must be held, and a "inheritance note" must be written, incense and candles must be lit, and the ancestors and gods must be informed.

Of course, the godfather and godmother must also prepare marriage recognition gifts such as longevity locks and collars, and then feed the child with the bowls and chopsticks they bring, indicating that they have the responsibility to raise the child from now on.

From then on, the two families became godparents, and the children would pay tribute to their godfather and godmother during festivals, birthdays, and other human events. Until the end of his life, he will be like his own child.

Besides, we have to inform our father, the emperor and our empress first, so today we just confirmed the relationship and no ceremony was needed.

But how good is Zhang Xunzhen? Although as soon as he entered the door, he gave the mistress a gift. At this moment, she took out a five-beaded and colorful rope from her sleeve and tied it to the baby's tender lotus root-like ankle, saying it could ward off evil spirits.

It seems that Lao Liu is no longer a human being. He simply refused to be a human being and said:

"I don't believe in these gods. You see, the birth-inducing charms on my sister-in-law's bed are all wrong. Isn't it still safe for mother and child?"
