Chapter 438 438 Three Conditions
Chapter 438 438 Three Conditions
The mother-in-law really wanted to cultivate his relationship with the Yin family, but unfortunately, those feelings were contrary to the way of the emperor.
And he, since elementary school, is the way of the emperor...
Father did not ask him to destroy the Yin family, but only asked him to suppress and clean up some people. In fact, he was already showing mercy to him.
So, what bargaining room does he have?
Emperor Yan's eyes flashed with relief.
Looking at King Anyang's eyes is much better than before.
"The second condition. The promotion of the classics of arithmetic." Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes.
King Anyang looked surprised.
"The Book of Arithmetic is more valuable than you think. The head of Anyang County is not an ordinary person." Emperor Yan continued.
"You already know the relationship between the national teacher and Anyang, right?" Although it was a question, the tone was somewhat affirmative.
King Anyang was taken aback.
"Yeah." After a while, he responded.
Emperor Yan finally opened his eyes again, and the corner of his mouth raised an arc.
"Sure enough..." Then, he said with a sigh.
Yes, he had guessed it.
Guessed that his addiction to Huiguang Pill may also have something to do with the national teacher.
Even more, all this was planned by the national teacher.
Can you guess what?
Investigate the guilt of the national teacher and kill him?
Up to now, even killing the national teacher will not help. Couldn't change the fact that he was dying.
On the contrary, at this time, Dayan could not do without the national teacher.
Hehe, Dayan can be without his emperor, but he can't be without a national teacher...
Now not only can he not attack the national teacher, he has to defend him.
Because the national teacher betrayed him, but not Dayan.
He let his eldest son come to Beijing, in fact, because of the national teacher.
The national teacher chose the eldest son, and Dayan chose the eldest son.
King Anyang was inexplicable and could not understand what Emperor Yan meant.
"Back then, I was the one who was the first to be sorry for the national teacher. Later, when the national teacher left the palace, I was deceived by the traitor and did many wrong things." Emperor Yan continued.
As if to excuse what Liu Wuji did to him, as if to convince himself again.
"Now, I'll be repaying the debt."
After Yan Emperor finished speaking, he sighed deeply.
Seeing King Anyang's puzzled face, Emperor Yan explained: "In those days, the old national teacher passed away, and the national teacher first took over as the national teacher."
"In order for the national teacher to stay at ease, I sent someone to kill the wife of the national teacher."
As soon as these words came out, King Anyang looked shocked.
"Unfortunately, the people who did the work were not neat enough, and missed two fish that slipped through the net."
"One is the maid of the national teacher's wife, and the other is the daughter of the national teacher."
"Actually, if they never show up again, the matter will pass."
"But they appeared in front of the national teacher, and they also recognized the national teacher."
"I can only do it again—"
King Anyang's heart trembled.
These, does the National Teacher know?
definitely knows.
Otherwise, how could Master Guo Shi--
Yes, he also knew that the matter of Huiguangdan had something to do with Master Guo Shi.
What's more, the poison after that, although her mother instructed Yucai to do it, there is also the influence of the National Teacher behind it.
Emperor Yan looked at King Anyang again, saw his expression change, "cough-cough-" coughed weakly twice.
"I'm not saying this to make you hate the national teacher. On the contrary, I want to tell you. I don't blame him."
Emperor Yan smiled weakly.
"The national teacher is dedicated to the country. Over the years, although he knew that I was his enemy, he did not take action against me because of my identity. It is enough to see the loyalty of the national teacher to Dayan."
If he hadn't made Dayan more and more chaotic, and even attracted Chu and Jin to join forces to attack Yan, the National Teacher would not have changed his mind.
At this time, it happened that his granddaughter appeared in front of him again, and the national teacher made up his mind to do it.
figured this out, so he really doesn't hold much grudge against the national teacher now.
King Anyang was surprised.
It was the first time I saw his father being so tolerant to a person.
"As soon as I die, the grievances between me and the national teacher will be settled. But I still owe Anyang."
"That girl may be as talented as her grandfather. It's just a pity... she's a woman."
Emperor Yan sighed again.
"Sometimes, I will think. That girl, if she can grow up in a stable environment and receive more careful guidance and cultivation from the national teacher, maybe she will grow up to be better than the national teacher."
King Anyang nodded and agreed with Emperor Yan.
Lin Dongjia's ideology and knowledge are all extraordinary, and he has given him a lot of advice and help.
"The Sutra of Arithmetic is that girl's hard work, and it is also a peace charm that the national teacher asked for that girl. I have already agreed before."
"Besides, this book is of great help to Dayan and even the whole world."
"I also have selfish intentions and want to take the opportunity to leave some good names in the history of the youth."
Emperor Yan suddenly stretched out his hand——
King Anyang saw this, glanced at Mrs. Zhang, and immediately stepped forward to hold Emperor Yan's hand.
"I estimate that I can earn this reputation."
King Anyang felt Emperor Yan's strength and understood Emperor Yan's thoughts.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Majesty's Book of Arithmetic was ordered to be compiled and promoted. Three years later, the son-in-law will also order that the contents of the Mathematical Sutra be included in the imperial examination. The world will not forget the merits of the Majesty's father." So he said.
Emperor Yan's mood calmed down a lot, and he put his hand back.
King Anyang took good care of him and did not dare to leave.
"Third." Emperor Yan suddenly said. But just said two words, but stopped.
King Anyang did not wait for the next sentence, and looked at Emperor Yan.
But he found that Emperor Yan was looking at Mrs. Zhang next to him.
"Thirdly, I still want to see Concubine Shu." As if looking at another person through Mrs. Zhang.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Zhang Shi and King Anyang changed.
King Anyang was fine, and his expression soon returned to normal.
Mrs. Zhang was already kneeling on the ground.
Emperor Yan turned his head slightly and looked at King Anyang.
"I have already found out that it was your mother-in-law who helped Concubine Shu escape from the palace."
King Anyang's expression changed.
"Now, Concubine Shu is in your hands." Emperor Yan said affirmatively.
King Anyang's complexion turned pale.
Seeing Emperor Yan staring at him unblinkingly, he hesitated for a while, and then nodded.
When Emperor Yan saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't care why you took Concubine Shu, I just hope that I can see her again before I die."
At this point, what else is there to guess?
The adopted son of Nangong Zhan, no, maybe his own son, he should not have died. And he also took refuge in his eldest son.
More likely, he and Concubine Shu's son didn't die either.
Qinger... Thinking of that well-behaved and sensible child, he also misses him a little.
Thinking that the child might still be alive, and that there is still such a layer of ties between himself and Concubine Shu, he suddenly felt more joy in his heart.
He found that although he was about to die, he seemed to be at ease now.
You don’t have to think about the overall situation, you don’t have to think of yourself as an emperor anymore.
He can treat himself as an ordinary person.
Like ordinary people, he has his own emotions, his own emotions, and acts according to his own preferences.
At this moment, he was even thinking.
If he had seen all of this earlier, he would have handed over the throne.
Could he be able to accompany his beloved and spend a lifetime with He Meimei?
King Anyang frowned and didn't answer.
Concubine Shu had a special status, and without Li Xiao's permission, he could not arrange for someone to come to Beijing to meet the father.
Moreover, Concubine Shu herself does not necessarily want to see her father.
Emperor Yan looked at King Anyang expectantly, hoping that his son would agree to his last condition.
Seeing that his son was silent, the hope on Emperor Yan's face gradually dimmed.
"On this matter, I have to ask Concubine Shu's wishes." Seeing Emperor Yan's expression, King Anyang couldn't bear it, so he saluted to Emperor Yan.
Asking Concubine Shu is one thing, and he also has to discuss it with Li Xiao.
After all, the Chiwu Army is his biggest reliance right now.
Emperor Yan glanced at King Anyang, then withdrew his gaze and lay back again.
"Okay. Then you can help me ask her opinion. Just say—"
"Invite her to see me for the last time for the sake of the long-term relationship between husband and wife." Emperor Yan said.
At this time, there is still no emperor's appearance, just an old man who is about to die.
"Yes." King Anyang replied. I suddenly felt a little sad in my heart.
Is this the emperor?
He will become an emperor in the future, will he be full of regret and remorse like his father in the end...
Emperor Yan suddenly raised his hand and waved at King Anyang weakly.
"Go out."
"Remember to do what I have arranged. I will hold on until Concubine Shu comes back."
"When I see Concubine Shu, I will give you what you want."
King Anyang surrendered.
"Yes."
immediately exited the Shuanghua Palace.
was about to leave, but was stopped by a little **** in the imperial concubine's bedroom.
"Your Highness, the noble concubine has an invitation." The little **** saluted.
suppressed his emotions, King Anyang said, "Lead the way."
Immediately, he followed the little **** to the imperial concubine's bedroom.
When arrived, the **** shouted that King Anyang had arrived, and the imperial concubine brought a few palace servants to greet him.
"I heard that the emperor announced that you are going to serve medical purposes. Son! Are you alright?" Grabbing King Anyang's hand, the concubine looked nervous.
King Anyang's heart warmed, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"It's alright." After saying that, he led the imperial concubine into the palace.
"Your Majesty, why did he announce you?" the imperial concubine asked again.
She has been married to the emperor for many years and knows how ruthless and vicious he is.
Today, my son failed to be crowned prince in the previous dynasty, but was instead arranged by him to serve the disease.
She was afraid that the emperor had already found something and wanted to take the opportunity to attack her son.
Fortunately, my son came out alive and well.
King Anyang looked at the imperial concubine.
did not answer immediately, but brought the imperial concubine back to the hall and placed her on a chair.
After , he sat down on the chair beside her.
then looked at the palace people who followed.
"Go down." Shen said.
After the workers left, the King of Anyang looked at his concubine with a worried look.
reached out and grabbed the imperial concubine's hand.
"Don't worry, concubine."
"I just want to accept my filial piety, and I have no other intentions."
Concubine's face was full of disbelief.
"He? Want to receive your filial piety?"
"Come on, I might believe it if you put it on someone else." He pulled his hand back.
"Tell me, what did the emperor tell you when he saw you alone? What is his plan now?" The imperial concubine looked straight at King Anyang.
At the same time, his hand squeezed unconsciously.
I was afraid that what I had done would have been known by Emperor Yan.
And Emperor Yan had already prepared his big move, ready to clean up their mother and son.
King Anyang looked at his mother-in-law, and stretched out his hands to squeeze the two arms of the imperial concubine.
"It's alright."
hesitated for a moment, and then told the concubine about the situation.
"My father has already promised to make Erchen the crown prince. However, three conditions have been put forward."
The imperial concubine was surprised.
"What—what conditions?" There was some surprise in my heart.
King Anyang hesitated again, then looked straight at his mother-in-law.
"Does the concubine really want my son to take that position?" asked.
The concubine and his relationship are different. Maybe, there is an element of use, but he can feel the feelings of his mother and concubine for him.
The imperial concubine was taken aback.
nodded immediately.
looks a little weird.
Son, what are you asking? Of course she thought about it, otherwise, she wouldn't have to plan carefully for him after so many years.
"Then what if—at the expense of the Yin family?" The King of Anyang looked straight at the imperial concubine, unwilling to miss the slightest reaction from her.
Concubine's eyes were startled, and she let go of King Anyang subconsciously.
Immediately, he quickly returned to his senses.
"Emperor, what does this mean?" There was a sense of panic in his chest.
King Anyang had a panoramic view of the imperial concubine's reaction, and sighed in his heart that some of his father's speculations were indeed true.
"If so, let the concubine choose between the son and the Yin family. Will the mother choose the son?" King Anyang did not answer the concubine's words, but asked.
The complexion of the imperial concubine changed again, the blood disappeared, and even a little pale.
pushed away King Anyang's arm, then propped his head with one hand and leaned on the table beside him.
At this time, King Anyang didn't step forward to care about the imperial concubine, but still looked at her, waiting for the answer.
After a long while, the imperial concubine finally put down her arms and turned her head.
"Do you have to choose?" He stared at King Anyang and asked.
"Yes." King Anyang nodded firmly.
"Choose you." Then, the imperial concubine said quickly. The voice was heavy, but extraordinarily firm.
King Anyang's eyes flashed.
immediately supported the imperial concubine.
"Mother concubine—" The tone was filled with excitement and joy.
The imperial concubine sat up again, stretched out her hand and waved away the arm that King Anyang was holding on to her.
"Your father, what did you tell you?" Immediately, he asked King Anyang.
King Anyang also put away the smile on his face and told the truth.
"My father promised to pass it on to me, but I was worried that my son would be held hostage by foreign relatives after he succeeded to the throne."
King Anyang looked carefully at his mother-in-law and saw that his mother-in-law didn't respond, so he continued: "The father asked the son to agree to suppress and clean up some of the Yin family's forces after taking the throne."
Seeing that the imperial concubine was about to speak, King Anyang quickly said again: "In addition, about the mother-in-law. The royal father asked the sons and ministers to obey the mother-in-law as the empress dowager. The father and the emperor did not intend to deal with the mother-in-law."
The imperial concubine turned her head to look at King Anyang, and immediately sighed.
"Just like that?" asked.
"Well, that's all." King Anyang responded quickly.
The imperial concubine finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then do what your father wants. He may not be a good father, but he wants to be a good emperor." Although he didn't do much well.
King Anyang looked happy.
"Yes!" He hurriedly bowed to the imperial concubine.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he would definitely be different from his father in the future.
