Seeing that King Yan was leaving without mercy, Emperor Yongping didn't say much and just sighed.
The fundamental reason why between the two brothers, he can be the emperor, and King Yan can only be the king of Yan, is still this. This younger brother of his is too emotional.
As an emperor, how can he let his emotions influence his judgment
The queen mother said that Xu Mansion must keep it as a shield for the royal family.
This is true!
But the problem is that the Xu Mansion is a bit too powerful now, and it can be said that there are many talented people. Such a Xu family would inevitably have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Therefore, the Xu Mansion must keep him, but he must also suppress him.
The title of Duke An Tai is a good starting point.
One sect with three masters must not become one sect with four masters.
Dingguo Duke Xu Shuo is the husband of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess has great favors to him, so the title of Dingguo Duke cannot be removed.
However, Xu Huaiyi, the Marquis of Wucheng, and Xu Yuanxi, the Yongwu Bo, were both brave men. They were only from farmers, and they were within his control. Therefore, they could not suppress them, but had to support them.
The existence of such a fierce general would be of great benefit to the country of the Tang Dynasty.
After considering all kinds of factors, Xu Mansion, which was once a family of three men, became the best target.
The inheritance of Duke An Tai's title is the best opportunity.
As an emperor, if he can't even seize this opportunity, why should he be able to secure the country
…
King Yan didn't understand Emperor Yongping's thoughts, and he didn't want to understand either.
Rather than being a royal prince in the capital, King Yan preferred guarding the frontier.
But what Mr. Xu said that day also had a huge impact on the King of Hell.
During the time he returned to the capital, King Yan had been secretly observing Princess Yan. And this observation made King Yan somewhat unfamiliar with the current Princess Yan.
Today's Princess Yan really seems to be a completely different person, being indifferent to everyone.
Even when facing their daughter, Princess Yan was very cold.
King Yan initially thought it was strange, but after thinking about it deeply, King Yan understood. During the time when he faked his death, Princess Yan was sent to Huai'en Temple, and during this process, none of their daughters ever visited their mother-in-law.
Princess Yan must have been heartbroken by being so cold-hearted and cold-blooded.
King Yan walked in a palace that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The maids and chamberlains he met along the way were all shocked and admired.
King Yan was already used to this kind of gaze.
He soon arrived outside the Queen Mother's palace, and just as he was about to open the door and enter, he suddenly heard voices coming from the courtyard.
"After all, she is not her biological son. My wife fell so hard. I didn't even know that our Highness, Prince Yan, is really cruel when she comes to the palace to visit!"
"Tell me, His Highness Prince Yan already knows that he is not the empress's biological child, right?"
"Who knows?"
"But, so what if you know?"
"He was raised by our mother-in-law. It's better to cultivate kindness than to give birth to kindness!"
"Say less, otherwise trouble will come from your mouth!"
And as the last person's words rang out, the words behind the courtyard door dispersed, and the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded and gradually faded away.
King Yan stood on the same spot and did not move a step for a long time.
He had always felt that the Queen Mother's attitude towards him and the emperor's brother was different, but he couldn't figure out why there was such a difference.
It wasn't until this moment that King Yan finally understood everything.
However, King Yan stood there for a while and then opened the door of the Queen Mother's palace.
As one of the palace maids said, it is better to cultivate kindness than to give birth to kindness.
The Queen Mother raised him after all, and he had to repay this kindness.
Because there had been a gap of some time, the palace ladies who had spoken before did not realize that their chat had fallen into the ears of King Yan.
However, seeing the ages of these palace maids, King Yan smiled meaningfully.
These palace maids are not very old, and they have not been in the palace for a long time.
So, how did they learn about this palace secret
He, King Yan, was known to everyone as the biological son of the Queen Mother. This was also recorded on the royal jade certificate of the Zongren Mansion.
But several palace maids who had obviously been in the palace for only a few years actually knew this secret that he himself didn't know. If you want to say that there is no point in it, King Yan would dare to twist his head off.
"Mother, my son is late!"
Seeing the Queen Mother resting on the warm Kang, King Yan respectfully stepped forward to pay her respects.
The Queen Mother gently waved her hand and said: "Zhen'er, what stupid things are you saying? You shoulder a heavy responsibility, which is related to the peace of the Tang Dynasty. Even if you don't have time to come back, the Ai family will not blame you!"
"Mother, my son is just having fun!"
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, King Yan felt even more ashamed.
He was in the capital when the Queen Mother fell.
The Queen Mother waved her hands and said: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way!"
"By the way, when will Nian'er be brought back?"
The Queen Mother looked at King Yan kindly and asked about King Yan's only son.
King Yan looked embarrassed and whispered: "I'm going to disappoint my mother. Nian'er is practicing with her mother now. It's hard for me to bring him back until he succeeds!"
"But are you worried about your princess?"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "If this is the case, the Ai family will issue an edict to divorce the Xu family!"
"Queen Mother, not allowed!"
King Yan spoke quickly and declined the Queen Mother's kindness, "Ms. Xu was not at fault. It was my son who couldn't defeat Nian'er's mother. That day, my son almost failed to protect Nian'er. His mother was very angry, so she brought him Take a look."
"Who is Nian'er's mother? When will she be brought to the palace to show to the Ai family?"
"Mother, this, I will let you down again!"
King Yan grimaced.
Speaking of this, he really couldn't say anything.
He, the majestic Prince of the Tang Dynasty, was famous all over the world, but in Lu Mudan's eyes, he was nothing. No, he is the father of Lu Mudan's son.
Speaking of which, if he hadn't happened by chance, would the father of Lu Mudan's son still be him
Every time he thought of this, King Yan felt defeated and hit hard.
Everything he was proud of was nothing in Lu Mudan's eyes!
Well, strictly speaking, he, the prince, is also a fake.
Who knows that he is not the Queen Mother’s biological child
After leaving the Queen Mother's palace, King Yan suddenly felt a little depressed. His life suddenly lost its direction and he could no longer find the purpose of his life.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, Your Majesty invites you!"
Before King Yan left the palace, a servant came and blocked King Yan's way.
"lead the way!"
King Yan glanced at the servant. He was indeed the one serving Emperor Yongping.
After listening to the conversation of several maids in the Queen Mother's Palace, King Yan became more unfamiliar with the palace, and felt as if everything here was releasing malice towards him. (End of chapter)
