After he finished speaking, he stood up, rolled up his robe and left, just as he came.
The crisis subsided, but Emperor Ming Yuan was not happy at all, because Prince Anfeng's words before his departure gave him a great sense of oppression and threat, as if the throne was not his, but stolen, and he could come at any time.
Take it back.
Eunuch Mu Ru woke up slowly, opened the curtain suddenly, and called out urgently, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Ming Yuan raised his hand tiredly, "It's Prince Anfeng!"
On the ground, there were dots of blood that he had vomited out, which were bright red, just like the blood that the Supreme Emperor had vomited out that day. He understood how angry and anxious the Supreme Emperor was that day before he vomited blood all of a sudden.
Eunuch Mu Ru was relieved when he heard it was Prince Anfeng, "That's not bad!"
Concubine Qin and others also ran in, covered her chest and started crying, "It's so scary, so scary!"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Concubine Qin and felt for a moment that coming to her might not be a wise decision. As expected, he did as Prince Anfeng said, avoid those who didn't want to face her.
In terms of governance, he avoided the important and ignored the trivial, fearing to make mistakes, because the consequences of making mistakes would be serious. He just wanted to avoid making big mistakes during his term in office, and not to have future generations judge him as stupid.
"Concubine Qin, am I a saint?"
Emperor Ming Yuan asked her.
Concubine Qin was crying, but suddenly she was startled, "Sage, the emperor is naturally a saint, and people all over the world say so."
"That's because they haven't met a truly wise king, a truly tough king. Only a truly powerful king can make Northern Tang strong, and I have been compromising on everything during my reign. Once I compromise on everything, then
The nation is weak."
Emperor Ming Yuan staggered out with a smile that seemed like crying.
This year is the twelfth year of his ascension to the throne. What happened in the past few days is what Emperor Ming Yuan considered to be the most serious thing in these twelve years. It completely subverted his concepts, his policy principles, and his internal and external policies.
strategic policy.
The history of the Northern Tang Dynasty also has a colorful display on this year, but more of it is in the war against the Northern Desert. It is believed that the turning point of the Northern Tang Dynasty began with this war.
As for what happened in the palace and what happened to Emperor Ming Yuan, there are no official records. There is no record that Prince Anfeng led an army to surround the imperial city.
This is a story for later, so I won’t mention it! After Prince Anfeng taught Emperor Mingyuan a lesson, he went straight to the Qiankun Palace.
Despite his righteous words, there was still a selfish thing left unsaid. He came here for Chu Xiaowu and Yuwen Xiaoliu.
In the Qiankun Palace, Prince Anfeng and Princess Anfeng had already arrived first. After Prince Anfeng arrived, the door was closed tightly, and the brothers said goodbye to each other on the battlefield and gathered together for the first time.
When Princess Anfeng saw him coming, she and Duke Xiaoyao went to see Chu's chief assistant, leaving the two brothers to talk. After he sat down, he said to the Supreme Emperor: "Intimidation and inducement are all combined. If he remains the same, there will be nothing else."
A good remedy.”
The Supreme Emperor sighed deeply, "Perhaps Gu's requirements for him are too high. He is not a person with outstanding qualifications."
"Knocking and banging may not make it useless."
Prince Anfeng said.
"Gu was also surprised by him this time. During the negotiation, we took those five cities in order to make those five cities a geographical barrier for our Northern Tang Dynasty, so as to counterattack the Northern Desert. Gu Duan did not
Thinking that he completely ignored this and even used it to criticize Gu's partiality, Gu was really shocked. Why was he completely unaware of this superficial war layout?
It’s so scary!”
The mouthful of blood he vomited was not because of his rebuttal, but because he had no idea of the significance of taking the five cities and their role in Beitang. He only thought they were the victory of this war.
How could he not be frightened by such short-sighted and without foresight?
And he actually kept saying that it was to prevent his brothers from turning against each other in the future. With such a situation, he really didn't even dare to die.
"There is really nothing we can do. From what happened this time, we can see that his structure is not big, and there is no separation between family and country." The Supreme Emperor sighed deeply. "In the future, the disputes between him and the prince will continue in terms of governance. When conflicts arise,
When the backlog reaches a certain level, in contrast, his preference for the tenth prince becomes more serious. Five, ten, or even twenty years later, once he has the intention to abolish the prince and establish the tenth prince, by that time, Gu has already
I can't see it, and I can't stop it. I can only let Beitang be dragged into the abyss by him. If I weren't worried about this, I wouldn't have taught him such a heavy lesson this time."
Prince Anfeng comforted, "Don't think too much, live your old age well. I have discussed with your sister-in-law that I will stay in Beitang for the next ten years. If there is any situation, I will come back to help the prince ascend the throne. As for you,
Now that you have retired, let's have some fun, don't just hang out with the three old guys all the time. After hanging around for a long time, you will feel more and more exhausted."
The Supreme Emperor was startled, "If you don't hang out with them, who will you hang out with?"
"Do something meaningful, something you rarely do when you are young."
The Supreme Emperor was confused, "What didn't you do when you were young?
It’s not like you don’t know.”
Prince Anfeng smiled slightly and looked at him, "Have you ever liked a woman?"
"Why don't you like it?
like it all."
"It's not the kind of love you mentioned, it's the kind of love that Grandma Xi and Chief Assistant have, the kind of love that your sister-in-law and I have."
The Emperor was even more confused, "What's the difference?"
"The difference is that you will enjoy talking to her. Even if you don't talk, sitting with her will make you feel particularly relaxed."
The Supreme Emperor turned his head and thought for a moment, "There is someone."
"who?"
"The senator's wife from Daxing Kingdom, she speaks very elegantly and knows a lot."
Prince Anfeng smiled and said, "Yes, yes."
"She is older than Gu."
"I have no objection to the relationship between brother and sister!"
The Supreme Emperor almost choked to death on his saliva and hurriedly waved his hands, "If you don't like doing this, you can talk to her. If you don't want to talk to her, don't talk nonsense and hurt the reputation of this old lady."
Prince Anfeng looked at him and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, "Xiao Liu, in this life, you should try your best to do anything good. I hope you don't think about your country and the world, but also think about yourself."
, I’m not telling you to find a little old woman to be with, but try another life, don’t stay here for the rest of your life, this palace is just a wellhead, too small, too small.”
These words were to the Emperor's liking, and he said with great interest: "Indeed, I plan to leave the palace after this matter is settled, maybe to cultivate an acre of wasteland, maybe to make a living, maybe to mine, maybe to dig for jade,
Life has to be different to be interesting."
Prince Anfeng said gently: "Okay, do what you want to do."
This old tycoon almost didn't even remember that he owned a gold mine! "Call me when you're digging!"
Prince Anfeng said something.
The Supreme Emperor smiled and asked: "Brother Wei also likes to join the mine?
It’s really fun.”
"Um!"
He just likes to move gold.
Decades have passed, and Prince Anfeng has to admit that Xiaoliu and his situation have also undergone earth-shaking changes. He now calls mining...fun?
