Chapter 1255 - 1064: Analysis
After the Crown Prince and several others returned from the Prince Residence, they all discussed the Emperor’s favoritism toward the family of the Prince Residence.
Fourth Prince Residence.
The Fourth Princess Consort was shocked upon hearing that the Emperor personally carried Little Daomang and strolled around the streets for most of the day: "Is Father Emperor overly favoring the direct line of Uncle Ping?"
The Fourth Prince shook his head and corrected her: "It’s Uncle Ping’s direct line. As for Uncle Ping’s other sons and daughters, Father Emperor has never given them a second look."
Xiao Moreng interjected: "That’s because Uncle Yang is exceptional, and even Aunt Wang has contributed to Daxia. The others merely live under the shelter of the Prince Residence without making any achievement for Grandpa Emperor or Daxia."
The Fourth Prince looked pleased with his eldest legitimate son: "It gratifies me that you understand this. You must remember that your Grandpa Emperor is not just an ordinary father or grandfather; he is the Emperor of Daxia."
"As the ruler of Daxia, your Grandpa Emperor values long-term stability above all else. What he needs most are individuals who can practically help him resolve issues."
"Clearly, your Uncle Yang excels in this regard. He pacified the Northern Frontier, subdued Xiliang, and has now transformed Xiliang, initially a barren and impoverished land, into a well-managed territory."
"Last year, when several northern provinces suffered from severe drought, he donated grain seeds, accepted large numbers of refugees, and ensured the stability of those provinces. Who wouldn’t appreciate someone who can genuinely solve such pressing problems?"
"Father Emperor’s favoritism toward Little Daomang, I believe, serves two purposes. First, he intends to highlight his recognition and appreciation for your Uncle Yang’s achievements over the years, which are undeniable."
"Second, although Father Emperor is an Emperor, he cannot completely escape human sentiment. As he grows older, he naturally desires the joy of grandchildren bringing happiness to his knees."
"However, every move the Emperor makes is scrutinized by both civil and military officials. Once someone is shown favoritism, it often gets interpreted as sending a particular signal."
