Chapter 449

From Beijing Pass to the imperial capital, it was a normal one-month trip, but A Nian and his group rushed to the imperial capital for half a month.

This towering imperial city has been around for more than ten years, and A Nian feels unconsciously in a trance of time.

There was not much time left for A Nian to sigh in a daze, and that was the secret order of Your Majesty, so A Nian had to go to the palace to meet with these guards. The time to arrive at the imperial capital was in the morning, and A Nian had already met in the afternoon. Fortunately, there was a lunch for those waiting for Your Meeting in the palace, so A Nian would not wait hungry.

At first, A Nian thought that His Majesty the Emperor was busy with affairs, so he lined up until the afternoon to meet him. However, when he arrived at His Majesty's bedroom, the strong fragrance of medicine made A Nian take a big gift and looked up at the imperial seat. That glance made A Nian understand instantly that His Majesty could not support him until now.

In the past, A Nian felt that he was really weak about His Majesty's blood relatives who could not resort to external factors. He used to regard Your Majesty as Your Majesty and had no brotherhood. But now, seeing that the man on the imperial bed was thin and sick, he was already in a state of disorganization, A Nian was shocked at first, and then suddenly felt a huge soreness in his heart. This soreness made A Nian, who had always been outstanding in self-control, unable to suppress himself, and it came over him in an instant.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. Brothers don't have to be so sad. I'm just taking the lead more than ordinary people."

This weak and calm voice seemed to arouse A Nian's rationality. When A Nian was shocked, she was already unable to suppress her tears, and tears rolled down her eyes. However, he also understood that not to say whether it was appropriate to cry in front of His Majesty, even when facing the patient, tears would cause the patient to feel sad. A Nian turned her head and wiped away the tears and said softly, "I have lost my manners."

"Sit." Your Majesty pointed to an embroidered bench beside the imperial bed. After A Nian went over to sit, he realized that there was a slight wet feeling in His Majesty's eyes. Obviously, although this Your Majesty was a few years younger than A Nian, his emotional control was far better than A Nian.

A Nian gently turned her face and whispered, "I always thought that Your Majesty is very good."

There are some people you may not want to meet for the rest of your life, but you still hope that they will be well.

Your Majesty is such an existence for A Nian. Unlike Your Majesty who have blood relatives like the royal family, A Nian's blood relatives are only one brother of the same mother except for his children.

His Majesty the Emperor has heard countless good words in his life, but the only sentence "I always thought that Your Majesty is very good" made His Majesty moved. His Majesty sighed softly, "I was born in the royal palace and grew up in the beautiful world. Later, I even enjoyed thousands of miles of countryside. Although I had a shallow relationship with my biological mother, it was not bad."

What can you say at this time?

At least, after his emotions were restrained, A Nian didn't know what to say.

So, His Majesty the Emperor said, "When I was a child, I always thought that I was the mother's mother. Later, I grew up and realized that I had another biological mother. In the royal family, only if my biological mother was very humble, would raise her children by other concubines. I was in another situation. When my biological mother gave birth to me, she was already a concubine in the royal family. However, she was unwilling to raise me. The mother could not bear to have no one to raise me, so she carried me to her side to raise her. After that, I stayed with my mother, and my biological mother was always very cold to me. Of course, this kind of coldness

There is a reason. She saw the situation of the royal family very early. Her mother had no son and her father loved her very much. Later, she was even more untainted. This means that her mother would have a huge impact on the future candidate for the prince. As the only concubine prince raised by her legitimate mother, I was ranked last among my brothers, but for this reason I was supported by many Qingliu. However, after all, I am not as old as the princes. Although I was raised by my legitimate mother, I was the last prince to work in the court because of my age…”

After a long silence, the emperor continued, "When my father was ill, it was still difficult for me to make a choice between me and my eldest brother. Finally, the father asked my biological mother and my eldest brother's biological mother Xu Zhaorong, what should he do in a hundred years? Xu Zhaorong did not understand his father's intention, so his biological mother immediately replied, wishing that Your Majesty would die in a hundred years. The next day, Your Majesty will make me the crown prince."

Once A Niantou heard about this royal secret, a bone-black chill rose from his spine, and he shivered unconsciously.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have never heard of it, saying, "Sometimes I often think that if I was born in this palace, I may not have a brother who was born among the people and I am happier."

A Nian said, "The family who adopted me is very good, it is better than me following her."

The corner of His Majesty's lips curled up slightly and said, "My mother treats me well. Even if she keeps me by her side, she will not treat me as well as her mother, according to her personality."

The two brothers were silent again, and they had a feeling that could not be spoken of. Just like their biological mothers, they were not a qualified mother. Even if their actions were cut open to the sun, I wonder how many people would criticize such a morally malpractice woman. For example, the two brothers had their own chances, and eventually became emperors and officials. In their lives, each had the right candidate to act as their mother. However, did the shortcomings of their biological mothers, in their accidental and casual time when they were young, would they remember what my life would be like if my mother, my biological mother, was willing to raise me back then?

Even if you don’t have the current power and status, what kind of life will it be like to follow your biological mother?

Such thoughts are naturally unfair to the adoptive mother who is kind to her, but this kind of ties in her bones and blood really exists.

After the silence, His Majesty the Emperor was the first to speak, and the Emperor said, "The Father saw through her. After the Father passed away, she begged me not to be buried with the father. If I were younger at that time, I was afraid I would really agree to her."

"Young people and adults have different horizons." The emperor seemed to be feeling something, and after a long time, "I thought I was always a few years younger than my brother, and I thought I would not have to meet in this life. I am afraid that I will soon be in this life and have to call my brother to meet."

A Nian bowed slightly, "I am really frightened."

"Brother, don't be afraid. If you are not in the imperial capital, you are afraid you don't know what's happening here." A trace of emperor's majesty gradually appeared on the emperor's thin face. His voice was still not loud, but he had an emperor's aura that made people bow down. His Majesty the Emperor said, "I have seven princes, the eldest son was born by Concubine Cao Shu. Now he is only twelve years old, and the other princes are even younger. The queen is pregnant. If the queen gives birth to a legitimate son, I will make the legitimate son the crown prince. If the queen gives birth to a prince, I need to choose one of the seven princes."

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but breathe a little while at this point. A Nianzhi said that His Majesty the Emperor's next words must be the top priority, and he couldn't help listening seriously. His Majesty the Emperor took a break and continued, "If the Empress gave birth to a princess, I would make the eldest son the crown prince. The eldest son is still young and has been raised by his biological mother, Concubine Cao Shu. Cao is gentle and charming, and it's better to be a concubine. She can't bear the responsibility of the Empress Dowager for a long time. However, as the new king's biological mother, she will definitely become another empress dowager, and she has a huge impact on the new king. I cannot deal with Cao like the former emperor who dealt with Concubine Ling, so that someone will immediately provoke the relationship between the mother and the new king. The mother has great kindness to me, and the new king is my son, and I don't want to see such a situation."

Even though A Nian had been staying in Beichang Mansion and had no idea about the royal affairs, he was not a fool. He whispered, "Is the Empress a princess?"

A hint of praise flashed in His Majesty's eyes, but there was deep regret between His eyebrows, "If Doctor Xia was not wrong."

A Nian knew it in his mind, and many words did not need to be spoken. The Su family has been a famous family in the imperial capital since Emperor Taizong. Not to mention that Duke Su Wenzhong assisted Emperor Taizong for a dynasty, but now Su Buyu, the son of Duke Su Wenzhong, is the Minister of Justice and the cabinet is the prime minister. Su Guanzheng in Beichang Prefecture is Su Buyu's eldest son. His first wife is Su. The first wife of His Majesty, is Su Buyu, and the second uncle. The Su family is powerful and Empress Su is the main palace of Your Majesty. Even if Your Majesty knows that Empress Su is mostly a princess, the princess who has not landed on the ground for one day cannot clearly state the establishment of the eldest son of the emperor.

A Nian had already excluded Empress Su from the center of power in his heart. His brain was thinking quickly. In addition to the princess that Empress Su believed, His Majesty was so wandering with the eldest son. That is, Empress Dowager Xie and Cao were probably not close.

A Nian was a little puzzled. Since Empress Dowager Xie was not close to Cao, why not make a prince close to Empress Dowager Xie the crown prince.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to see what A Nian was thinking and said softly, "The elder brother is also a parent, and the eldest son is not at fault. In the future, will the position of patriarch of the elder brother's family be passed on to the eldest son but to the second son? How can the eldest son deal with himself in the future? What's more, there are so many things about the royal family. If there is no legitimate son, let the mother choose the eldest son later, and the mother will also choose the eldest son."

A Nian almost doubted her judgment. Did Empress Dowager Xie have no rift with Cao? Then he heard from His Majesty the Emperor, "The Queen Mother has such a personality. The Queen Mother always has always been on the great way. In this life, the Queen Mother's life, people can't say the word "no"? Everything she does is on this grand road. One day, the Queen Mother makes a choice, there is no need to doubt it. This is the most correct choice."

A Nian didn't understand what His Majesty the Emperor asked him to do. According to His Majesty the Emperor, as long as Empress Dowager Xie takes charge of the overall situation, it would be fine.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at A Nian and said in a deep voice, "No matter at any time, my brother must remember my words. If my mother makes a decision, don't go against her. My mother's views on the affairs of the court are far better than me. The position of the emperor is the most supreme, but the court cannot be in chaos. What I say is just the point of my concern. If this position is turbulent after me..." His Majesty the Emperor gently patted his subordinates' handrail and said softly, "Then, please hand this letter to my mother."

A letter was handed to A Nian.

Originally, when A Nian first met the emperor's younger brother, he was really excited and sad. Now, when His Majesty the Emperor talked about the situation in the royal family, A Nian's surging emotions gradually calmed down. Especially when His Majesty the Emperor introduced his terrible mother, Empress Dowager Xie, and such a secret letter, A Nian really didn't want to accept it. He felt that this matter was too complicated and he might not be able to control it.

However, the hand holding the letter was so thin, only a layer of blue and white skin was left hanging on the bones of the hand. A Nian sighed softly. This was not only His Majesty the Emperor, but also his mother and brother. He could not refuse such a letter. A Nian stood up seriously, took the letter from His Majesty the Emperor with both hands, and said, "I just hope that this letter will never be available."

His Majesty the Emperor had a slight head and then said, "Although Beichang Mansion is good, it is just a corner of the land. This imperial capital is a place of turmoil. My brother has worked as an editor in the Hanlin area. Now you are in the fourth rank, and the Hanlin attendant is also the fourth rank. There is still a prince's teacher by the eldest son. What do you think?"

A Nian said, "I know nothing about the matters of the imperial capital, and your Majesty's arrangements are the best."

His Majesty the Emperor said again, "My elder daughter is given a marriage to Ji. I heard that my brother is in Beichang Prefecture and has a good relationship with Su Jianzheng."

A Niandao, "I have served as an official in the same place as Su Jianzheng. If you want to talk about contact, there are some, but it is limited to contact between colleagues."

His Majesty the Emperor said, "Su is a famous family, and I will not hide it from her brother. My queen is also from the Su family. She was a marriage granted by her grandfather back then. I heard that the eldest daughter of Su Zheng is also an elegant lady, and she is about the same age as her elder son. I want to be a matchmaker again, but I don't know what my brother wants?"

A Nian knew that Your Majesty wanted to marry the Su family, but A Nian did not respond at once. He was not a powerful minister. He said, "The marriage was first made by A Xi, and she met A Zhen when she was young. When we see A Zhen grow up, they are also childhood sweethearts. The Su family is a famous family, but they don't know the meaning of the Su family. It's really hard to say that this marriage has to be willing to do so."

"Brother's words are right." His Majesty the Emperor showed a gentle intention and said, "My mother has never seen her brother yet. She has not come to the imperial capital for many years. Why not go and ask her for her mother's peace?"

A Nian stood up and left.

Although they met for a short time, A Nian really felt that the Emperor's Majesty was unfathomable. He thought it was a secret summon, but His Majesty asked him to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Xie. Such behavior was far beyond ordinary people. If A Nian had existed before and His Majesty the Emperor relied on Empress Dowager Xie to ascend the throne entirely, A Nian had truly admitted that in addition to Empress Dowager Xie's support, this time, A Nian had truly recognized that in addition to Empress Dowager Xie's support, this Majesty's outstandingness must be related to His Majesty's outstandingness.

This is not a child emperor.

This Majesty's cleverness is unfathomable. So, for the stepmother of Empress Dowager Xie, who was so arrogant to this Majesty, this Empress Dowager Xie, who has been so proud of his majesty, has seized the throne of the crown prince Li, and then ascended to the throne of the crown prince, empress, and empress dowager, since the Taizong era.

After leaving His Majesty's bedroom, dark clouds covered the sky, and fine ice particles were falling out in a row. When the north wind blew, it made a whistling sound. A Nian was not afraid of anything, but, at this time, standing in the wind and snow of this towering imperial city, A Nian couldn't help but think that this is the imperial capital.
