Riding the Pheonix Chapter 590: Father and son
Chapter 592 Father and Son
After the New Year, the emperor's illness finally improved.
Although I still can't get out of bed, I can speak and my mind is clear.
He was the first to summon King An.
King An entered the palace with three parts of joy and seven parts of anxiety.
The emperor felt greatly relieved when he saw him bowing respectfully to him.
The emperor was furious when news of the second brother's rebellion came.
He once thought that the second prince was the most capable of his sons, and even tried to pass it on to him. Unfortunately, he was too cruel and if he really succeeded to the throne, he was afraid that there would be a river of blood, so he finally gave up.
Since he was dethroned, he has not behaved like a monster again. Later, he performed well when he went to the palace. The emperor felt pleased and thought that if he could really change his ways, he could be released in two years.
Who would have thought that there was no need for him to let go, this kid would kill himself as soon as he became a monster!
The emperor suddenly fell ill. In addition to the old illness caused by the fall, he was also very angry.
This is patricide! His son was so insane! The eldest son only thinks about his position as the crown prince, and the second son simply assassinates him. Is he such a failure as a father?
Now seeing King An's performance, his heart that was hurt by his first two sons was finally soothed.
Look at this child, knowing that he is so ill and that he has made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion, he is still trembling and in awe.
I used to think that the third child was worthless, but now I know that he is the one with a sincere heart.
And Concubine Pei...
Disaster reveals people’s hearts!
"Get up," the emperor waved to him, "come to me."
Wang An hesitated and looked at him uncertainly: "Father..."
The emperor waved again and smiled encouragingly.
Wang An got up and walked carefully to the emperor.
"Sit here." The emperor pointed to the bed.
Wang An had never been so close to his father, so he couldn't help being flattered. It wasn't until the emperor said it again that he slowly sat down, with his back straight and nervous.
The more he behaves like this, the happier the emperor becomes.
"Tell me what happened to the second child."
"Yes." King An swallowed his saliva and spoke slowly, "Father, you went to the palace to escape the cold, and I will follow your wishes and come to study government affairs every day. I am dull and wasted my time. , I could only listen attentively to the teachings of several prime ministers. After being busy for a few months, Lord Yin Jiang from Jingzhao suddenly came to see Erchen and said that there were frequent cases in the palace and there seemed to be something abnormal. Erchen asked him for his opinion, because These things were not obvious, so I didn’t dare to say anything about it. I just asked him to keep an eye on it..."
These words were colluded between Yang Shu and him earlier.
Wang An was not close to the emperor and was more afraid of him than respectful. He was worried that the emperor might not be happy if he said he had no knowledge beforehand, so Yang Shu made up an excuse for him and offered to help him beg favors with Jiang Wenfeng so as not to reveal his secret.
Wang An just wanted to pass the test, so of course he agreed.
"The day before, the Forbidden Army transferred many people because of the snowstorm. Master Jiang became more and more suspicious and told Erchen to pay attention to his own safety. Erchen thought that it would be too obvious to bring more guards, so he might as well let Ayan follow him , he has great martial arts skills and plays well with his subordinates, so no one would doubt..."
As for the rest of the matter, just tell the truth. Just change the person who makes the decision to yourself.
——By the way, I didn’t mention the secret passage in advance. If my father knew about it, I wouldn’t be able to go in and play in the future.
After listening, the emperor rationalized the matter.
"So, it was Jiang Qing who found out the doubts from many cases and asked you to prepare in advance. As soon as the second child showed a flaw, he dispatched troops outside and asked the Suzaku Battalion to rescue you, and also invited the Xingzhou soldiers Come to the town and lead someone to cut off the second child’s retreat?”
"Yes." King An also knew what kind of image he had in the emperor's mind. He suddenly became wise and mighty. No one would believe it, so he simply put all the credit on Jiang Wenfeng, and he only received a small part of it. "My son's response in the palace was based on Mr. Jiang's suggestion. He asked Ayan to pretend to be me and trick the second brother into coming in. He doesn't have many rebels. As long as he traps the leader, he can defeat them one by one."
The emperor nodded: "You are brave and resourceful for doing this. Not only do you have a good idea, but you also have the courage to do it, which is the most rare thing. You never thought that Ayan might not be able to stop them, Then you are in danger."
I have never been praised so much by the emperor. King An was flattered and replied honestly: "At that time, Mingguang Palace was surrounded, so I didn't think much about it."
The emperor looked at him with very kind eyes: "It's also because there are too few people around you. I will ask a few secret guards to come to your house later. You will be the only one to follow me from now on."
"Thank you, Father!" King An was surprised, happy, and embarrassed at the same time, and said, "Father, I didn't actually do anything about this matter. It is mainly due to Master Jiang..."
The emperor interrupted him: "Don't worry, I will not treat my loyal ministers badly. He has a noble character. If you have more contact with him in the future, if you have any difficulties, ask him, maybe he can inspire you."
Wang An naturally agreed.
The emperor named a few more officials: "...these are not bad either. They have low official ranks but very good abilities. If you have the opportunity to get to know them, you can slowly promote them."
Then he commented on officials from the DPRK and China. Some asked him to have more contact with them, while others told him not to interact with them. The official position got higher and higher, and finally it came to Zhengshitang.
The emperor paused for a long time and then said: "Prime Minister Lu has already told me that his health is getting worse and worse, and he is unable to handle government affairs as he wishes. He will retire in the second half of the year. When the time comes, I will promote Zhang Tan, and you will Rely on him a lot."
The prime minister retreated, and the secondary prime minister stepped forward. This was normal, and Wang An respectfully agreed.
The emperor then said: "You can completely trust Zhang Tan. If you have any doubts, ask him. He is more reliable than Jiang Qing, do you understand?"
Wang An actually didn't understand, but he knew that it was best not to object to what the emperor said and just continue to respond.
The emperor went through them one by one, and finally said to Guo Xu: "This man, please let him handle practical matters more. He is very capable and a good helper~IndoMTL.com~, but he is too utilitarian and cannot be on the same page. We can't let him be alone, as that will arouse his ambition."
Wang An also agreed.
The emperor looked at King An again, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
This third child is a little thinner than a year ago and looks more energetic. If you take a closer look, you can see that he actually looks good, with very delicate facial features. Now that he has lost weight, he looks a bit like a handsome young man, and he is no worse than others.
The emperor was in a good mood and spoke better, and told him: "Next, you will continue to handle government affairs with the prime ministers. If you are not sure about anything, just ask your father."
Wang An responded respectfully.
Finally, the emperor said: "Don't get too close to Ayan. He is your uncle's descendant. With this status, you might have some thoughts, so don't go out of your way to him."
Wang An was stunned for a moment: "Father..."
Good evening, what a pleasant day.
