Chapter 51 Did the Regent usurp the throne today (23)

A few days later, Nie Xuecheng officially resigned to Jige and set out for Longxi.

It is naturally impossible for the regent to go to Longxi alone. There have been already arranged officials to go to Longxi to appease the victims.

However, the disaster relief matter has been related to all aspects. Nie Xuecheng stayed in Kyoto and stared at the people from the Ministry of Revenue to allocate a large amount of grain and silver before leaving.

Winter in Kyoto seems to have passed in a blink of an eye.

After the thunder, Kyoto ushered in a real spring.

Scattered snow on the dark and brown dead branches, but the new green had already emerged, shivering and trembling slightly in the chilly spring breeze.

On this day, Jige rarely entertained guests in the Tingshui Pavilion in the Imperial Garden.

The people who come here are no strangers. They are An Fenyun, a beautiful young man who grew up with his childhood sweetheart with the original owner.

"Caughters meet Your Majesty." An Fenyun saluted respectfully.

Ji Ge fiddled with the tea set placed on the stone table, and asked without raising his head, "The Prime Minister asked you to come."

"..." An Fenyun did not admit it and said seriously: "It doesn't matter who asked me to come. It's mainly because your Majesty has noticed recently that you are too close to His Highness the Regent?"

A stream of hot water was slowly poured into the thin porcelain tea cup, and the curled tea leaves stretched out. After a while, even the tea water showed a light and vivid green color.

The light tea fragrance spread. Ji Ge did not answer An Fenyun's question, but pushed the tea cup towards him: "Try it."

Even if An Fenyun was anxious, he could not help but suppress his temper and tasted the tea he had just made.

The water temperature is a bit too high, destroying the original flavor of the tea. However, the tea is of excellent quality and is a new tea produced in Jishan. It is slightly bitter and sweet.

Seeing An Fenyun drinking tea, Jige spoke slowly and did not swear to him: "Fenyun, do you know that the prime minister has the intention to rebel?"

"Puff." An Fenyun spit out a mouthful of tea.

The boy coughed for a while before he stopped, his face turned red, and he said without thinking: "It is impossible, please be careful with your Majesty. This must be someone who is wronging his father."

Ji Ge did not answer, and An Fenyun was a little anxious: "Your Majesty should know his father's character. He is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and he cannot be rebellious at all. There must be a traitor who wants to frame his father."

It seems that An Fenyun's filter for Prime Minister An is really thick enough. No wonder An Fenyun did not see the true face of his father until he forced the palace in his previous life, and resolutely entered the palace to save the original owner.

Unfortunately, the young man with integrity and bright breeze and bright moon died under the arrow of his most trusted person.

"Fenyun," Jige looked at him quietly: "I have found evidence of the Prime Minister's engagement with the Imperial Guard Commander. Do you want to see it?"

An Fenyun opened his mouth and felt dizzy.

"You have two choices. One is to join me and I will protect the lives of hundreds of people in the prime minister's mansion. The other is to report to the prime minister. The Great Chu has changed its dynasty since then," Ji Ge said calmly: "Which one do you choose?"

Which one should I choose?

A silence.

An Fenyun is only eighteen years old this year and is not yet in a bad mood, but he has such a dilemma in front of him.

On one hand, he was loyal to the royal family, but on the other was his closest father.

Obviously, the Prime Minister's Office in Jige's speech did not include Prime Minister An.

Ji Ge chuckled, but he didn't urge An Fenyun to wait patiently for his answer.

The second option that Ji Ge gave An Fenyun was fake, and there was a trap inside. If he chose the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ji Ge would not allow him to walk out of the palace alive. The secret guards hiding around the Imperial Garden would directly shoot An Fenyun.

The emperor's way has never tolerated his subordinates, so what if he is closest relatives?
