Riding the Pheonix Chapter 570: Timing
It has been snowing in the capital for several days.
Every morning when King An gets up, he expects the snow to block the road and prevent him from getting to the palace. However, the reality is cruel. The capital is fully staffed every day. Whenever it snows, someone will go to clear the snow early, especially the road to the palace, which is often the first one.
He had no choice but to go to the palace yawning.
Fortunately, Yang Shu accompanied him, which comforted King An a little.
……
Guo Xu and Guo went out before dawn.
The emperor went to the palace, and three of the seven prime ministers left. His responsibilities suddenly became heavier.
However, contrary to Wang An, Prime Minister Guo did not feel that affairs were heavy at all, and only hoped that the more things, the better. Taking advantage of the absence of the other three, taking over more government affairs will become capital in the future!
There is no morning court today, but Guo Xu is on duty. After going to the Si Yamen to arrange today's affairs, he went into the palace.
He entered the palace through Yongle Gate.
The guard of Yongle Gate today was an adjutant who had just arrived. He inquired very carefully. Guo Xu waited for a long time before he was able to enter the palace.
Guo Xu always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't explain it.
While walking towards Mingguang Hall, I looked around.
While walking, he suddenly stopped and asked his nephew: "Have you ever felt that there are very few guards in the Imperial City today?"
Nephew Guo touched his head: "It seems... we didn't meet many of them on the road."
Guo Xu said: "Go and ask if there is anything wrong."
"Yes."
After a while, the nephew came back and replied: "Uncle Six, I heard that the shacks in Nancheng have collapsed due to the heavy snowfall in recent days. The government office is short of manpower, and the guards have been temporarily transferred to help."
Guo Xu said oh.
He knows about Nancheng. However, the specific matters were out of his hands.
His intuition was still not very good. All the way to Mingguang Palace, he had already thought about the reason why it was not good.
After meeting King An and briefly talking about today's government affairs, he turned his attention to Yang Shu in the corner.
Yang Shu understood the idea, told King An, and went outside to enjoy the snow.
Not long after, Guo Xu also came out.
He looked around and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, do you feel that something is not right in the Imperial City today?"
Yang Shu nodded: "There are a few people."
Guo Xudao: "Today is a good time."
The two looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Finding that the second prince was restless, Yang Shu thought of a way to hint to Mr. Guo.
Mr. Guo has so many things in his belly, how can he not understand?
He called his nephew and said, "Go to the government office and tell Mr. Jiang. Tell him that the snow is too heavy and something may happen, and ask him to make preparations."
Nephew Guo was confused and asked: "Uncle Six, this matter is not your responsibility, right?"
Mr. Guo scolded: "Go if I tell you to, and stop talking nonsense."
"Oh..."
"Remember, don't miss a word."
"Got it." Nephew Guo repeated this sentence several times in his mind and hurried out of the palace.
Guo Xu looked at Yang Shu and asked softly: "Your Highness, would you like to find another place to rest?"
Yang Shu shook his head: "Prince An can't leave anyone here."
Guo Xu was a little disappointed and couldn't help but try to persuade him again: "His Royal Highness, Prince An, is surrounded by many people to serve you. You are not missing one."
Yang Shu still shook his head.
Guo Xu sighed: "Forget it, I'm going to work."
He cupped his hands and went back to the duty room in the side hall.
Yang Shu stood there for a while, stamped his frozen feet, and entered the house.
He knew what Guo Xu meant.
This Prime Minister Guo has even less integrity than Mr. Fu. According to his opinion, indulging the second prince would be the best result. The dead King An was much cuter than the living one and would not leave any trouble for them.
But this person didn’t want to, so he had no choice but to let it go.
It’s okay to think about this, this person has such a temperament, and I push him up with all my strength, he will always remember this feeling, and there will be no day when the rabbit dies and the dog dies.
When King An saw Yang Shu coming in, he hurriedly asked him for help: "Quick, quick, help me take a look at this, how should I approve it?"
Yang Shu rubbed his forehead, took the memorial, and said: "My help can only be temporary. Like this, what are you going to do in the future?"
Wang An sighed: "I'm worried too! To tell you the truth, I have no interest in being emperor. I can't figure out why the eldest brother and the second brother are fighting like that."
Yang Shu looked at him: "Why are you not interested? Didn't you always say before that others don't take you seriously? You won't do it anymore. What's wrong with that?"
"But I'm not confident that I can do it well." Wang An said with a grimace, "I listened to your words before and studied hard with my master. I finally understood some of it. I thought I was quite talented. But what happened? ?"
He flipped through the memorials on the table: "Look, several prime ministers are here to teach me, but I am always at a loss when looking at these memorials. I don't know whether the measures they mentioned are good or bad. , there is a hidden meaning in it, and I am a little confused. But what about you? After listening to it, you can speak clearly and logically. I repeated it to the prime ministers according to what you said, and they praised me for understanding it. OK..."
Wang An babbled: "Why aren't you my brother? If so, it would be great to give you this job. It would be more appropriate for me to be a free king."
Yang Shu felt complicated and murmured: "It's my fault that I dare to fall in love..."
"It's not your fault!" Wang An didn't know what he was thinking~IndoMTL.com~ poured out all his bitterness, "I'm not very smart, and I haven't been able to compare with my eldest and second brothers since I was a child. , I know all this."
No. Yang Shu said in his heart, you are not bad at all.
Ming Wei told him that King An in history fled the capital after King Xin ascended the throne and had to raise a flag to rebel in order to survive.
King Xin went against the grain and eliminated dissidents, which made the sky angry and people resentful and the people panicked.
Wang An fought all the way back to the capital, killed him, and became the emperor himself.
Although he was ridiculous later, in the first two years after he took the throne, he did pretty well, much better than King Xin.
It can be seen that he has potential, but he was forced to come out at the critical moment of life and death.
It's better now that King Xin was deprived of his title first. He rose to the position without any effort and had no motivation to improve himself at all. In addition, there was someone comparing myself with him, which made me feel even worse.
Yang Shu didn't know what to think.
He originally had some expectations, thinking that maybe he wouldn't have to go to that point.
Now it seems that King An cannot afford the country.
"Forget it." He thought, this is fine, just go to the dark side.
For him, although power is not something that makes people intoxicated, it cannot be said to be annoying.
The rest of your life is so long, you should always find something to do.
"Come on, come on, help me take a look." King An pulled him, "What does this sentence mean? Why did Mr. Guo say that his heart can be punished?"
Yang Shu cheered up and helped him read the memorial: "You should share it with me at least. This is a detail. Just understand it clearly and let them handle it on their own. This is a general decision-making, and you need to call someone. Discussion. And this..."
