Although the emperor has many sons, by far the most caring and favorite son is naturally Chu Lan.
Chu Lan is the most obedient and filial, so he is naturally willing to give him more.
Seeing Chu Lan's aggrieved look, the emperor nodded without thinking too much, "Okay, I'll give Su Han to you. I'll let him work for you. However, don't be too harsh. Regarding the Zhenbei Palace,
It is better to be more favored, otherwise, if we lose the Nanyang Palace and then the Zhenbei Palace, it is time for someone else to take over my world."
Chu Lan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, father. I will definitely listen to my father."
Chu Lan also knew in his heart that the current stalemate with Nanyang Prince's Palace was not a good thing for Chu Jiangshan, but there was no way. Who said Nanyang Prince's Palace was not his maternal ancestor's home? Who made Chu Yan give birth to two children earlier than he was destined to?
Nian was reborn as the empress. No matter how good the Nanyang Palace was, they would not support him. He could only find ways to get rid of him. Otherwise, even if the emperor passed the throne to him, he would not be able to sit firmly.
He is naturally hostile, and he cannot be favored by the Nanyang Palace.
But Zhenbei Palace is different. In any case, his mother was born in Zhenbei Palace. Even if she is the adopted daughter of Zhenbei Palace, it is still a nepotistic status. Zhenbei Palace cannot get rid of her.
He must hold Su Han firmly in his hands.
After the emperor agreed, Chu Lan stopped leaving and waited in the south study room for Su Han to come back from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Su Han completed this errand very quickly. In just a short time, he took the imperial doctor from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment back to the palace to report the order to the emperor. Seeing that Chu Lan was also there, he bowed his hand to Chu Lan.
Chu Lan gave Su Han a bared smile.
Su Han suddenly felt something bad, and immediately thought on guard about what bad idea Chu Lan was planning.
The emperor paid little attention to the dispute between the two and asked, "How is the old man's condition?"
Su Han scratched his head and looked at the imperial physician.
The imperial doctor immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the criminal has internal burning syndrome, external evil wind, abdominal injury to the spleen and kidneys. The condition is very complicated. In addition, the dungeon is damp and cold in late autumn. If this disease is not cured, he may be in danger of his life.
."
The emperor's face sank, "How to raise him?"
The imperial doctor screamed for a while, and it was difficult to tell how to raise him. After all, Zhang Zaifu had a special status and was imprisoned in a dungeon. He could not be moved out of the dungeon and let him live in a golden tent in a golden house and use fine and precious clothes.
Let’s use the medicinal materials to carefully condition and nourish his body, right?
This is inappropriate for a criminal who should have beheaded the nine tribes.
Su Han said from the side, "Your Majesty, I think he deserves it if he is allowed to die of illness. Why waste good medicine on treating him?"
The emperor remained silent.
In his private mind, he just wanted to torture Zhang Zaifu severely. The longer he tortured him, the more relieved he felt, especially when he wanted to use him to trap those who escaped from the Zhang family. How could he let him die?
Chu Lan naturally understood the emperor's thoughts best, and immediately said, "Father, this is simple, give him a dry and clean cell, and assign him an imperial doctor to treat him. The most important thing in the library is medicinal materials.
, give it to him, cure him, and then continue to torture him, how can you let him die so easily? That's not okay."
Su Han: "..."
It’s him who wants to simplify the relationship between father and son!
The emperor nodded, "Well, you are right, you go and arrange this."
Chu Lan responded, "Father, don't worry, I will cure him as soon as possible and let him go back to that cell to continue to atone for what he has done."
The emperor nodded.
Chu Lan turned to Su Han and said, "Prince Su, will you follow me?"
Su Han looked at Chu Lan, and his unhappiness increased, "His Royal Highness, why should I follow you? I am now working as an errand for His Majesty."
Chu Lan grinned and said, "I have too many court affairs in my hands. My father felt sorry for me that I have lost weight recently. He said that you are both civil and military and are very useful, so he moved you to my side."
Su Han: "..."
He turned to look at the emperor.
The emperor smiled kindly at Su Han, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Su Han, if you stay with me, you can only be an errand boy for me. It's a waste of your talent. From today on, you can follow King Jing and practice."<
/p>
Su Han: "..."
No, he doesn’t want to, no, no, no, who is willing to follow this scheming King Jing?
But he said it doesn’t work?
Su Han looked at the emperor and then at Chu Lan. It was obvious that the father and son had agreed upon this. He shouted in his heart: "No," but he was not someone who couldn't understand the situation. He immediately and decisively expressed his stance, "Okay, your majesty respects me."
, His Highness King Jing just gives orders."
Chu Lan was surprised. She didn't expect Su Han to agree so readily. Didn't he play with him earlier? Now... what's going on?
Could it be that he is now valued by his father and has the idea of setting him up as a prince? It is too obvious that he has taken refuge here again? So what happened when he followed Chu Chen and Jiang Ynzhi to the gate of the city a few days ago to meet the old King of Nanyang?
Son?
Chu Lan suddenly couldn't understand Su Han, but he decided to keep him by his side, keep an eye on him, and understand him so that he could no longer have any contact with the Nanyang Palace. The Zhenbei Palace must support him.
Him.
Su Han was thinking that there was no difference between being with the emperor and being with King Jing. He had to be equally careful. The emperor kept him by his side in order to keep an eye on him and isolate him from the old King Nanyang.
Let Nanyang Prince's Mansion have little contact with Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, so as for King Jing, he thought about it for a moment and vaguely guessed that King Jing was for the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion behind him.
Zhenbei Palace has not expressed support for a long time. King Jing is a little panicked, and now he wants to hold on to Zhenbei Palace.
He had to write a letter to his father as soon as possible, asking his father to think of a way to get him back to Mobei, so that he would not be alone in the capital and be eaten by the little wolf named King Jing.
After all, King Jing's current momentum is indeed flourishing, and the limelight that was slightly suppressed by the old Nanyang King's entry into the capital is limited. Most of the government affairs are still in his hands. If Chu Yan is not released for one day, he will
He will jump up and down in one day. With His Majesty's support, no one dares to offend him, so it's better for him to do it less.
The two of them had their own thoughts and left the South Study together happily.
After the two left, the emperor sighed silently in his heart and said to Eunuch Zhang, "Zhang De, do you think Xiaoba is the one?"
Eunuch Zhang dared to openly comment on whether King Jing was the right one. He quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know this. Your Majesty is wise and free to make decisions."
The emperor chuckled and said, "I am not a sage. If I were a sage, I should have taken action long ago when An Huajin came to the capital. I would not have allowed her to be so lively and noisy. After the capital was turned upside down, she patted her butt and returned to Nanyang, even zipping up.
My good minister Gu Qingyan made the always gentle and courteous Gu Qingyan resist me like this for her, but now I can't do anything to her. I still don't know whether Gu Qingyan has returned to Beijing or not, and I can't even see him.
”
Eunuch Zhang lowered his head and couldn't say anything. He could only advise, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the great Chu country, shouldn't you..."
"What shouldn't be done?" The emperor looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "Shouldn't An Huajin be killed?"
Eunuch Zhang shut up.
The emperor sneered, "How can I allow An Huajin to be such a scourge that she messes up etiquette and rules? Do you know what she wants to do as a daughter of a family? She wants to be in charge of the Nanyang Army, and she wants to be the hereditary king of the Nanyang Palace. Even if she wants to
The old King of Nanyang also had this idea, and Shang Zhezi tried to test me to pass the title to An Huajin. If she, a woman, is given the title of king and title, wouldn't it mess up the court order? In the future, all women will follow the same example, so this big Chu
Doesn’t it mean that a group of women have the final say in the country?”
Eunuch Zhang was shocked and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, there are not many women in the world as special as Princess An."
"That's not possible, this precedent cannot be set." The emperor said flatly, "Especially because the little girl An Huajin is rebellious, difficult to control, and her temper is not manipulated. If she dares to be the queen today, she may dare to be the empress tomorrow.
How can I let a woman like her bring trouble to my great Chu family?"
Eunuch Zhang took a breath of cold air, "Isn't this... impossible?"
"Whether it is possible or not, in short, this woman cannot be kept. If I had known that the old Nanyang King had taught such a thing, I should have taken action to get rid of her long ago." The emperor's heart was as iron as iron, "She must die. Otherwise, I cannot feel at ease.
."
Eunuch Zhang stopped talking.
The emperor was tired and said, "You all advise me to be a wise and sage king, to be tolerant and charitable, and to be generous and tolerant. Even if An Huajin kills my most beloved woman and the emperor I am looking forward to being born, there will be no consequences."
In view of her status as a meritorious official of the An family, she should be treated leniently and should not shout about beating or killing, but you are one by one, who understands my painstaking efforts?"
Eunuch Zhang raised his head and looked at the emperor.
The emperor added, "If it weren't for the great Chu country, how could I not tolerate her? But An Huajin, I misjudged her. She and the queen are both the daughters of the An family, but she is not as obedient and obedient as the queen. She is too rebellious.
I can't stay. What I regret most is that I made her a marriage contract with Gu Qingyan and personally tied the An family and the Gu family together, and now I am so passive."
