In accordance with Yang Shu's instructions, King An handed over the investigation to Jiang Wenfeng, and the captain of the guard was responsible for the arrest. He then ordered the Suzaku Battalion to temporarily take over the palace defense, and asked Guo Xu to suppress the city under the protection of the Xingzhou Army and clean up the Forbidden Army.
.
Orders were issued one after another, and the aftermath was done in an orderly manner.
When the sky turned white, everyone dispersed.
An Wang slumped down on the chair and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "My mother! You scared me to death!"
There were only three people left in Mingguang Hall.
Him, Yang Shu, and Eunuch Liu.
Yang Shu glanced at him and said lazily: "Look at your potential! We have captured everyone, what else is there to be scared of?"
King An grabbed his hand and said gratefully: "My nephew, it's all thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have finished playing!"
Yang Shu felt a little numb and withdrew his hand: "Just talk, don't talk about it, two men don't find it disgusting!"
"Okay, okay, thank you anyway!"
Just now, he listened in the secret passage for a long time. After Yang Shu took down all the people, he opened the secret passage and pulled him out. He said, "When the palace door is opened later, don't say unnecessary words. Just treat it as these things."
It was you who arranged it."
King An was stunned and asked him: "This is obviously your credit, why do you blame it on me?"
Yang Shu said: "Otherwise? Your Majesty went to the palace. You, the prince who oversees the country, don't know what happened, but I, the idle prince, quelled the rebellion? What do you want others to think? What do you want your majesty to think?"
"But..."
Yang Shu sighed and said to him earnestly: "Third uncle, it is because of our friendship that I can speak frankly in front of you. You must know that my nephew's life is in your hands now!"
King An was confused: "What do you mean by this? Putting down the rebellion is a great achievement! My father will definitely be rewarded heavily."
At this time, Yang Shu had to remind him: "Third uncle, if there are no accidents, you will become the new crown prince and the future king of Da Qi. Put yourself in that position and think about it. With my status, is it right?"
Particularly taboo?"
King An was silent and nodded.
He just doesn't like to think too much, he's not stupid. He still understands how embarrassing Yang Shu's identity is.
"Your Majesty has treated me well, but do you think he will completely trust me?"
During this period, King An was taught a lot about how to be a king. He read a lot of history books and gained some insights. He thought about it and said, "You mean, my father is afraid of you?"
"That's not what I'm saying. It's just that you know that my grandfather was Prince Sihuai, the man who should have sat on the throne. Although the throne has been passed to your family, he will be somewhat... Do you understand?"
King An said: "For example, what about the Song Dynasty versus Taizu's lineage?"
Yang Shu nodded happily: "Although the situation is different, this is probably the case."
King An was in a complicated mood and said to him: "How dare you say such things? Are you afraid that I will tell my father?"
Yang Shu smiled and said, "Because I know you, Third Uncle, don't know how to do it! Although you are a bit messy, you are still very kind-hearted. I bullied you like that when I was a child. If it were someone else, I would definitely retaliate after turning over, right? But you didn't
, which shows that you have a broad mind. If my third uncle treats me like this, of course I will also treat you sincerely. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my third uncle's love?"
King An was so impressed by his praise that he nodded and said, "I guess you have some conscience and know what's good and what's good!"
Yang Shu continued: "So, I shouldn't be too conspicuous. If such a big credit falls on me, it will only be a disaster, not a good thing."
King An understood: "I understand a little bit when you put it this way. It stands to reason that since you have made great achievements in the northwest and been knighted when you came back, you should be given a military position so as not to waste it. But my father..."
Yang Shu smiled: "There's nothing wrong with that. I don't want to go to the border to blow sand. But now, I haven't married a wife yet, and I don't want to cause trouble for myself."
"So you give the credit to me?"
"How else can I explain my behavior? Third uncle, think about it. As the prince of the prison country, you don't even know about this. However, I made preparations in advance. In the eyes of others, it is because I have ulterior motives."
"Yes!" Wang An asked casually, "Then how did you know?"
"Master Jiang told me." Yang Shu didn't blush at all, "You know, Master Jiang has worked with me and we have a friendship. He is in charge of the entire capital, and these changes cannot escape his eyes and ears. He feels that...
There is a problem with the prince, but there is no evidence, so it is hard to alarm you, so he told me and told me to follow you and protect you."
King An suddenly realized: "No wonder you don't need to rush me these two days and follow me every day."
"That's right! Otherwise, how could I have the patience?" Yang Shu told the lie without blinking an eye, "Look, the Xingzhou Army was invited by Lord Chiang, and the Suzaku Camp was also arranged by Lord Chiang. He also sent those powerful people to
We called them together and blocked the second prince's escape route, so that the rebels could not escape from the palace and cause a bigger trouble. He is the real hero of this incident!"
King An couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, yes, Master Jiang is really powerful. No wonder my father values him so much."
Yang Shu showed a secret smile and continued: "So, it is the right thing for you to ask him for credit. I just listened to his words and was prepared, so that I can protect you in time."
"That's it!" King An said, "Don't worry, I won't make him work in vain. I will explain the situation to my father later and reward him well."
Yang Shu confessed again: "I will ask Mr. Liu to reveal his secret right now. You must not expose the secret later!"
"I know! I'm not that stupid!"
...
King An, who was not that stupid, thought about the matter again, but he only felt lingering fear.
He asked Yang Shu: "Have you really made the arrangements? Will everything be okay with my father?"
Yang Shu's expression remained unchanged: "No, how did I know that the Second Emperor's Uncle was so heartbroken?"
"Then you..." Prince An was shocked, "Hey! You have to inform your father quickly, just in case..."
"Can you please listen to what I have to say?" Yang Shu held him back, "I have no arrangements for your majesty, but I have arrangements for your concubine!"
King An was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Remember that Miss Wen?"
King An thought for a moment: "Concubine Hui's niece?"
"Yes! Her niece is a bit weird. I'm worried that she will harm the imperial concubine, so..."
"Oh!" King An understood, "No wonder you asked Miss Mingqi to follow you, why are you so reluctant to not see her for so long!"
"Yes! She is amazing! With her here, we can detect any movement in advance. As long as His Majesty is prepared, do you think the Second Emperor can succeed?"
King An immediately shook his head: "How can the second brother be my father's rival?"
"That's all!" Yang Shu comforted him, "So, just wait in Beijing for His Majesty to come back." (To be continued)
