Chapter 4 Meeting the Emperor

Still sitting on the chariot sedan, Zhao Yanxun staggered towards Xianfu Palace.

In fact, he wanted to jog over by himself so that he could exercise some more, but he could only think about it.

But what concerned Zhao Yanxun more at this moment was why Concubine Duan summoned him at this time. It seemed like something big had happened.

As for the recent major events related to him, only the courtiers asked him to join the feudal clan. It seems that this matter has come to an end.

Arriving at the gate of Xianfu Palace, Zhao Yanxun stepped out of the carriage and was greeted by Concubine Duan's confidant, Nanny Lingsu.

"Your Highness, the empress is waiting for you!"

Even Lingsu came out to welcome him. It seemed that the matter was not as serious as usual.

Zhao Yanxun no longer paid attention to any etiquette, and walked directly into Xianfu Palace, and went straight to Concubine Duan in the side hall.

But at this moment, Concubine Duan's face was extremely ugly, and the hatred in her eyes seemed to be real.

"Mother, concubine, who made you angry?" Zhao Yanxun stepped forward quickly. The mother-son affection between his predecessor and Concubine Duan was something that Zhao Yanxun could not suppress at this moment.

Concubine Duan grabbed Zhao Yanxun's sleeve and said angrily: "Xun'er... I'm afraid mother and you will be separated from each other!"

From this sentence, Zhao Yanxun quickly analyzed that his decision to become king should be finalized.

This made him deeply happy. He was helpless in this palace and had long thought of escaping from here.

But now is not the time to be happy. Zhao Yanxun showed a dejected look, which made Concubine Duan feel extremely distressed.

The four sons she gave birth to have died young, and now she has only one son, Zhao Yanxun, whom she absolutely cannot bear to part with.

"Xun'er, don't worry, as long as the edict has not been officially issued, there is still a chance to change this matter!"

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun felt a lot of reluctance in his heart, but he still nodded honestly.

"I will go with my mother and concubine to see your father later. Remember...don't say anything when you enter the hall, just cry!"

Zhao Yanxun felt speechless. He really didn't give up until the end, even arranging a painful scene.

What he didn't expect was that Concubine Duan was an activist. After speaking, she got up and pulled Zhao Yanxun out.

With no choice, Zhao Yanxun could only follow out.

The chariot sedan has been prepared outside, and Concubine Duan's chariot sedan is also a special gift from the emperor. This is an honor only reserved for empresses and imperial concubines.

Two chariot sedans set off from Xianfu Palace, which easily attracted the attention of everyone in the harem. There were countless people waiting to watch the excitement.

The emperor's palace was called Qian'an Palace. When Zhao Yanxun came outside the palace gate, he was still in awe of the majesty and solemnity of this place.

This place was the pinnacle of power in the entire Jin Dynasty. In history, countless heroes fought bloody battles for the throne in the hall.

The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down... Zhao Yanxun read the poems of great men in his heart.

As soon as we entered the palace gate, an old eunuch came out. He looked kind and friendly.

But Zhao Yanxun knew that Chen Changhe, the chief manager of Qian'an Palace, was the most extraordinary person in the palace, otherwise he would not be able to hold his current position.

"Ms. Duan Fei, why are you here!"

"Is your Majesty in there? You go and tell me that I, my concubine, would like to see you in person!"

Chen Changhe looked troubled and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is discussing state affairs with several cabinet ministers at the moment. I'm afraid it's not convenient!"

Concubine Duan is a very smart person. At this moment, she has guessed that the emperor does not want to see her, or in other words, he does not dare to see her.

If there were other concubines, they would naturally be wise and leave, but Concubine Duan is different.

"Then I am waiting here. Whenever the emperor summons me, I will come in at any time!"

Concubine Duan's words were unequivocal, which refreshed Zhao Yanxun's understanding. It turned out that this mother was actually a hero among women.

Chen Changhe is such a powerful person, but facing Concubine Duan being so helpless, he can only go in and complain at this moment.

After Chen Changhe left, Concubine Duan led Zhao Yanxun to continue walking forward, climbed the steps outside the main hall of Qian'an Palace, and stood under the corridor and waited quietly.

Concubine Duan's thoughts were profoundly different. Zhao Yanxun was extremely relaxed at the moment and even had the time to look at the carved beams and painted buildings here.

After a while, footsteps were heard in the hall, and three old men in red official robes walked out.

Seeing Concubine Duan and her son outside, the old man at the head made a cold snort, obviously hating them both.

And Concubine Duan didn't have a good look on her face, she even said: "Pavilion elders, be careful of slippery roads, you won't be able to get up if you fall down at your age!"

These words made several cabinet ministers extremely angry, but Concubine Duan did not give them a chance to get angry, and dragged Zhao Yanxun into the hall.

Zhao Yanxun had to admire this mother's fierceness. She only ridiculed several cabinet ministers and dared to break into the main hall of Qian'an Palace without being summoned.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Concubine Duan's voice came to Zhao Yanxun's ears: "What are you still doing? Cry!"

Concubine Duan's face was serious, and Zhao Yanxun could only show off his poor acting skills and cried "woo woo".

The two walked through the hall and soon came to the outside of the monastery where the emperor was. They heard Concubine Duan cry "Wow".

"Your Majesty... I am dead, you have to make the decision for me!"

Compared to Zhao Yanxun's poor acting skills, Concubine Duan was crying so hard that her pitiful energy made the emperor on the throne quickly come out to greet her.

Supporting his beloved concubine who was crying uncontrollably, the emperor, whose temples were turning white, comforted him and said: "My beloved concubine, why are you like this!"

His voice is mellow but old-fashioned. The current Emperor of Tai'an, Zhao Yongcheng, is already an old man in his fifties.

Zhao Yanxun was still crying, but Concubine Duan slowly stopped crying under the emperor's comfort, but there were still a few tears on her face.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to separate your concubine from Xun'er, mother and son, as those foreign ministers said?"

For more than 20 years, Concubine Duan used her own unique methods to firmly bind Zhao Yongcheng's heart, thus establishing her status as the first person under the queen.

"Move a block!" The emperor turned around and ordered Chen Changhe.

After a while, a little eunuch brought a stool, and Emperor Zhao Yongcheng personally helped Concubine Duan sit down. This favor was simply incredible.

"My beloved concubine, I have some difficulties..."

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun also stopped crying, and at the emperor's father's signal, he slowly walked to Concubine Duan.

At this time, Zhao Yongcheng's voice became cold and said: "Everyone else, please step back!"

At this moment, Zhao Yongcheng was the emperor who stood at the top and dominated the world, making Zhao Yanxun lower his head involuntarily.

The maids and eunuchs serving in the main hall all retreated in accordance with the holy will. Only three members of Zhao Yanxun's family were left in the huge Qian'an Palace.

I saw Zhao Yongcheng's rising momentum gradually receding, and he turned into the image of the old father with a gentle face.

"My dear concubine, why would I want Xun'er to be separated from you? But now that the imperial court is uncertain about internal and external troubles, it really cannot withstand the turmoil!"

"Just yesterday, reports of war came from the northwest, and the Hu people were invading in large numbers. If there is another chaos in the imperial court, the country is in danger of overthrowing!"

In fact, Zhao Yongcheng has not finished speaking. In addition to the invasion of the barbarians in the northwest, the northern states also suffered snow disasters in winter. The consequences of the severe drought in the Central Plains last year are still there...

Today's Jin Dynasty is indeed unable to withstand the tossing, let alone the national struggle over the crown prince's position.

"I am the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. The late emperor has entrusted the country to my hands. I dare not make any mistakes..."

Having said this, Zhao Yongcheng's expression was full of sadness. At this moment, he was not an emperor, but a husband who was trying to reason with his wife.

In fact, Concubine Duan was unprecedented in being able to allow the emperor to do this.

"My beloved concubine, all my ancestors are watching me from heaven. I can only live up to you!"
