Riding the Pheonix Chapter 720: Change your thoughts
Chapter 722 Change of Thought
His Royal Highness the King of Yue was imprisoned as soon as he returned to Beijing.
The loyal ministers and righteous men in the court reacted immediately, and with Fu Jinyi's instigation, the memorials flew to the imperial court like snowflakes.
How could King An handle this kind of thing? He could only go to Taiyuan Palace for help.
"Don't worry about it." The emperor said coldly, "He left the capital without an imperial edict, which is a taboo. Could it be that I made a mistake in taking him?"
Wang An made a sad face and said: "Father, my sons and I have read all these memorials, and there are none that you should not take, but they all think that it is not appropriate to go to jail directly."
The emperor's theory is quite correct. It is inherently taboo for the prince to leave the capital without an imperial edict.
However, Yang Shu has a special status. In addition, he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary this year, just going out for fun. As the emperor's uncle, he should be taught a lesson, but going to jail would be a big deal.
The emperor looked at his son coldly: "You think so too?"
Wang An whispered: "Ayan was let out intentionally by us."
The emperor sighed, somewhat feebly: "Why are you so honest?"
Wang An lowered his head and said nothing.
From these memorials, the emperor found support for his imprisonment, and severely refuted His Highness the King of Yue's behavior of being disrespectful. He handed it to King An: "You ask someone to give you a hint and let him help you build momentum."
"Father?"
The emperor said calmly: "I am doing this all for you."
King An didn't know what to say. He was a little moved and a little guilty, so he could only say: "My son has made my father worried."
The emperor became more and more determined to eradicate this scourge before King An succeeded to the throne.
How could this honest boy be able to compete with that kid?
But I heard King An say: "I know that you should not embarrass your father. You are doing this to suppress him so as to clear the way for me..."
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Do you understand?"
King An answered honestly: "When I was governing today, Prime Minister Guo explained it to his ministers."
"Oh? What did he say?"
Wang An replied: "He said that you have been a benevolent king for more than 20 years. Now, regardless of your reputation, it is all for your son. Your son should understand your painstaking efforts and not cause trouble."
The emperor understood and felt very comfortable.
Look, there are still people who understand him after all.
Although Guo Xu's moral character is a bit low, if he is used in the right place, he can be really useful.
An Wang said again: "Father, I feel sorry for you. You have been wise for more than 20 years, wouldn't you have gained a bad reputation in vain by doing this? Historians are harsh, and a benevolent king will be punished if he does something that does not suit their wishes. It’s a big write-up. Especially since you are recuperating now, in their writing, I’m afraid you’ll be old and feeble again… Sigh, this is so unfair. You have been kind for more than 20 years, why should you lose your reputation because of this incident?”
"It's not that serious..."
The emperor said, stop.
Indeed, he has been suppressing himself for more than 20 years. If just because of this incident, his reputation has been ruined...
"So, is this why you came to persuade me?" The emperor's voice softened.
King An nodded: "I really can't bear it. My father has paid so much for me, how can I feel at ease and use my father's reputation to pave the way?"
After a pause, he added: "What's more, I got angry when I saw those people. When we were discussing things today, the eyes were not eyes and the nose was not nose. I probably felt that I was too incompetent, which is why I hurt you. Right?"
……
After King An left, the emperor thought for a long time and called Eunuch Liu.
"The Eagle of Nanchu, has the message arrived?"
Eunuch Liu smiled and replied: "I was thinking about this and brought it to you."
As he said that, he presented the secret report from the Imperial City Division.
The emperor looked at it for a while and asked: "Is the news accurate?"
Eunuch Liu replied: "If the information reported by Eagle Eagle is uncertain, it will be marked. This one should be undoubtedly."
The emperor nodded: "I was surprised before, how could Nanchu have the courage to fight with us now that he has too much time to take care of himself. Looking at the troops mobilized by Tang Shao, it is probably to clean up the family."
Eunuch Liu hurriedly asked: "Then shall we add fuel to the flames?"
The emperor said: "Keep your balance."
Eunuch Liu said yes and said with a smile: "Although we are fighting, we are here to bring merit to the front line. I don't know which general got an advantage."
The emperor thoughtfully said: "Send merit..."
Eunuch Liu laughed and said, "Isn't it true? Tang Luo has been in charge of the army for several years, and Tang Shao will have to lose many lives before he can be completely wiped out."
The emperor stopped talking again.
Eunuch Liu stopped talking and resigned.
The emperor finally came and summoned Xuan Fei.
After two years of cleaning up, Xuanfei now has sole control of Xuandu Temple. He was knowledgeable and capable of doing things, and the emperor found him useful.
"National Master, I want you to make a fortune today."
Xuanfei nodded calmly: "Please give me instructions, please."
The emperor said: "You don't care, what is King An's luck?"
The look of surprise on Xuan Fei's face flashed away, and he asked someone to get the hexagram tube.
He said: "King An is not here, so I have to trouble Your Majesty to cast the fortune in person."
"I'm here to throw a divination, will it be more accurate?"
Xuanfei replied: "You have the aura of an emperor, which can calm yin and yang, so you are naturally more accurate."
The emperor asked casually, but when he heard his answer, he smiled and said, "You are a better talker than your master. When you were traveling abroad, you were often a charlatan, right?"
Xuan Fei smiled: "I can't hide it from the Holy Master. In times of emergency, I really pretended to be a fortune teller."
The hexagram tube was brought and the emperor shook it. Xuanfei stopped smiling and arranged the hexagram carefully.
Seeing his troubled expression, the emperor said: "Just say it."
Xuanfei then replied: "King An's fortune is very good, and it is on the upward trend. It's your honor..."
"How am I doing?"
"There is a downward trend."
The emperor was silent.
Xuan Fei thought about it for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. King Guan'an looks like a blessed person. If you encounter difficulties, you will have noble people to help you. Your Majesty, your fortune has been bad recently, so it is best to stabilize yourself."
After a while, the emperor nodded: "Okay, I understand."
……
When Zhang Tan came to face the emperor, he was shocked when he heard the emperor's words: "Your Majesty, didn't you already make up your mind to kill him...how did you change your mind?"
"The opposition is too loud!" the emperor said~IndoMTL.com~If I do this forcefully, I am afraid that it will be true. Then I will be said to be guilty, and I will attack my brother's descendants. ”
Zhang Tan said: "This is just temporary. I am trying to find a few charges to make them have nothing to say."
"Then did you find it?"
Zhang Tan was speechless for a moment.
His Royal Highness, the King of Yue, has been doing nothing but eating, drinking and having fun since he was crowned king. It is harmless to say it, but it is not easy to find charges.
However, Zhang Tan believes that as long as you have the will, there is nothing you can't accomplish.
If the emperor wants to kill people, plausibility is enough.
"This boy is pretty good at fighting." The emperor said after careful consideration, "Asking him to earn some credit for the third child is a waste."
For the sake of the few remaining hair, go to bed early!
