The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1076

[Chapter 1076 I can rest in peace]

. “Father,”

Zhao Hao cried, then broke down in tears again.

When Concubine Shu next to her saw this scene, she couldn’t restrain her inner sadness and burst into tears.

Liu Cheng lowered his head, unable to hide the sadness in his eyes.

Even Bianchi felt inexplicably filled with panic when he looked at the scene in front of him. He didn’t know what to say for a moment.

At this time, a deep voice suddenly came from outside.

“Chief Minister Yan Zhuang asks to see Your Majesty!”

Emperor Chu raised his eyes and winked at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng immediately understood, opened the door of the room, and took a look. Sure enough, all three cabinet bachelors had arrived. He first bowed respectfully, and then said: “Three adults, your majesty invites you.”

The three bachelors exchanged an invitation. They glanced at each other and could see uneasiness in each other’s eyes.

It must not be a good thing for His Majesty to suddenly summon them at this time.

Thinking about it, His Majesty looks more and more haggard these days, and the time for morning and afternoon courtships has been reduced.

He often sat for a while and left without even discussing how long.

They know that His Majesty has never been a lazy person, and there must be a certain reason why His Majesty reduces the time for morning and afternoon dynasties.

Others may not know the reason for this, but the three academicians can vaguely guess some reasons.

The poisonous poison in His Majesty’s body has been present for more than a year.

The three of them stepped into the house.

After searching around, I saw His Majesty looking haggard on the bed.

Although they were mentally prepared, the three of them couldn’t help being shocked when they saw this scene. Then, with sad expressions on their faces, they all saluted: “I will see you, Your Majesty!”

Emperor Chu looked at them and forced himself. Squeezing out a smile, he said: “I have never met my ministers like this in decades, and this is the first time for you three cabinet ministers.”

This joke failed to make the three bachelors feel better. Feel better.

On the contrary, their moods became even heavier.

The decades of friendship between monarch and ministers have allowed them to understand His Majesty extremely well.

The more heavy-handed it is, the more it means the matter has reached an irreversible point.

Seeing the posture in front of them, the eunuch Liu Cheng, Concubine Shu, Prince Hao, and the three cabinet bachelors, and the imperial doctor Bianchi, clearly wanted to entrust Guogu.

None of the things that should have come came.

Everyone present, even the imperial doctor Bianchi, has a need for his existence.

As for what was supposed to come, it seemed that it had not arrived.

No matter from what point of view, if it was Tuogu, An Guogong should also be present.

But considering the many things that happened before, it is completely understandable that An Guogong was not present.

Yan Zhuang, who was still the first assistant academician, spoke first: “These days, except for the intrusion of some pirates on the Southeast Road, the Haiyan River is clear inside and outside the court, so your majesty can take good care of yourself. Your majesty must focus on the dragon body.

” Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: “I have listened to you nagging me for half my life, and now I am lying on this bed, do you still want to nag me?”

“.”

Yan Zhuang heard this and didn’t know. Why, I felt sad and lowered my head. At the age of over seventy, my eyes were actually red.

Yes,

when Your Majesty was still a child, he was the head of the Ministry of Rites. When I met Your Majesty for the first time, although I knew that His Majesty was not the eldest son of the emperor, nor the eldest son, I still had a strong feeling that this was the future His Majesty.

Later, when His Majesty was established as the Crown Prince, he was already the Minister of Rites and the Young Master of the Crown Prince. At that time, he followed His Majesty, who was still the Crown Prince, through ups and downs. I don’t know how many ups and downs we faced together.

Later, he went from the Minister of Rites, to the Minister of Industry, to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, until His Majesty ascended the throne. He was the Minister of Rites. Five years later, he entered the cabinet and gradually reached the position of chief minister. Now, he is already the chief minister. I have been in this position for more than ten years.

In the past ten years, he has had quarrels with His Majesty, and there have been times when he had different opinions, but overall, the friendship between the two has surpassed that of monarch and minister, and even surpassed that of master and apprentice.

But now…

Hey,

Your Majesty He was clearly in the prime of life, but was poisoned by poisonous poison.

Yan Zhuang held back his tears, stood upright, bowed respectfully, and said, “I know I was wrong.”

This was the first time he had spoken to the emperor in so many years. Admit your mistake.

When Emperor Chu heard this, he couldn’t help but smile on his face and said, “Mr. Yan Ge, I really didn’t expect that I would be able to hear you admit your mistake in the end.”

“Your Majesty.” Yan Zhuang opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Emperor Chu waved his hands and said: “I know what you are going to say, it is nothing more than those commonplace things. I tell you, I am never afraid of death, so don’t say those comforting words.

This man is going to die after all. , after all, I have lived a relatively long time, but of course I can’t compare with you, Mr. Yan Ge.”

At this point, he smiled again.

Yan Zhuang and others couldn’t laugh.

“If I died ten years ago, I would not be willing to rest in peace. If I died one day ago, I would not be willing to rest in peace. But now that I am allowed to die, I can still rest in peace. Hao’er, please come to your father. Come.”

“Father.”

Zhao Hao called Emperor Chu and walked to his side obediently.

When the three pavilion elders saw this scene, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they instantly realized the meaning of His Majesty’s words.

There is almost no doubt that Prince Hao will be the heir apparent.

However, there is one thing that is a knot in His Majesty’s heart, not only in His Majesty’s heart, but also in the hearts of the three of them.

It is the relationship between Prince Hao and Duke An.

The two of them are called master and apprentice, but their relationship is even better than that of master and apprentice. It can even be said that in Prince Hao’s heart, apart from His Majesty, Concubine Shu and Princess Anle, he is Duke An.

This is something that everyone knows, but An Guogong is a powerful minister and holds great power, so even His Majesty can hardly suppress him.

If Prince Hao ascends the throne, what will Duke An do?

Who can suppress Duke An?

Not to mention that An Guogong is now the Duke of the country and already controls the court, commerce, academies, inns, Shenji Camp, etc.

How can Prince Hao suppress his reputation?

Now there is another title of Imperial Master. From now on, the people of Chu State may not know His Majesty but only Duke An Guo.

It is precisely because of this that His Majesty has not appointed a crown prince for a long time.

However, now His Majesty says that he can rest in peace.

In this way, Prince Hao’s performance makes His Majesty very satisfied. No, it cannot be said that he is very satisfied. It should be extremely satisfied?

What did Prince Hao say to His Majesty that made His Majesty appreciate him so much that even if he died in an instant, he would be able to rest in peace?

Thinking of this, the three cabinet bachelors all looked at Zhao Hao, with lights flashing in their eyes.
