He naturally knew that Xu Tianze was trying to provoke him, but since he was the one who made the promise first, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.
The second brother was lucky. He didn't have to do anything and just asked Xu Tianze to ask for an imperial decree of amnesty for him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise. Hurry up." When Xu Tianze heard what Emperor Gan said, he put away his expression and saluted respectfully. By the way, he also pulled the stunned King Xian next to him.
The things are about to come out. Why are you waiting for Emperor Gan to change his mind if you don’t express your gratitude quickly?
"Your Majesty, I thank you." The wise king only reacted after being reminded by Xu Tianze, and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.
Emperor Gan nodded and asked people to stand up. At this time, he looked at the prince who pretended to be indifferent and sighed. It was also destined.
Otherwise, if the second son had not given up the throne, with Xu Tianze's assistance, the prince and the third son would have failed in their fight for the throne.
But if the second brother did not have the same preference as Long Yang and was not with Xu Tianze, he might not have received such sincere treatment from Xu Tianze.
All I can say is that everything is destined, and there is a destiny in the dark.
"If you have nothing to do, just get out of here." After thinking about it, Emperor Gan waved his sleeves and started to chase people away.
As for Xu Tianze's plan, he still needs to call the old man Song Zhenjiang into the palace to discuss it carefully and try to maximize the benefits.
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report." Xu Tianze scratched his head embarrassedly.
Today also happens to be a good opportunity. If we give Emperor Gan a heads-up in advance, we can avoid a lot of trouble later.
Furthermore, he could also see that Emperor Gan was not angry at all, but he was just expressing his dissatisfaction because he wanted to save face.
"Little bastard, what else do you want?" Emperor Gan turned his head and looked at Xu Tianze with a faint smile on his face.
But to Xu Tianze, that smile seemed somewhat frightening.
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the harem with the virtuous king to pay a visit to the Concubine Shu, so I informed Your Majesty in advance." Xu Tianze thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly stated his purpose.
Otherwise, Emperor Gan might have been kicked out before he even heard what he said.
"Hmph, you really thought it was something important. Go ahead. There's no need to come to me for such trivial matters." Emperor Gan snorted coldly, but did not make things too difficult for him.
Xu Tianze smiled and didn't care about the Emperor Gan's sarcasm at all. He had taken all the advantages. He was still the emperor. It was no big deal if he just said a few words to him.
Seeing that Emperor Gan really didn't want to see him anymore, Xu Tianze pulled King Xian and ran directly out of the Shangshufang.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." The prince stood up and prepared to bow and say goodbye.
The play was over, and there was nothing to do in the study room now, so he had better leave quickly to avoid being in trouble with his father again.
"Mu Wang, your sharp claws will become dull if you don't use them for a long time. Your father has limited energy and won't be able to hold on for much longer. Go."
The prince suddenly looked up when he heard the first half of the sentence. He knew that his actions could not be hidden from his father.
What Emperor Gan said next made the prince feel frightened. He was about to say a few compliments when he heard Emperor Gan drive him away. He opened his mouth, but in the end he just bowed his head and left.
It seems that he really has no need to hide anymore, and it is time to show the majesty of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
"My dear, I regret using this child for my schemes." Emperor Gan's tone was melancholy, and his body was a little hunched.
When Eunuch Quan heard Emperor Gan sigh, he knew that this man was going to go crazy again. Sure enough, he began to regret it again.
Perhaps he has really reached old age. Not only is he not as ruthless and decisive in decision-making as he was when he was young, but he also regrets from time to time how cold-blooded his original decisions were.
"Your Majesty, this child has grown up now and is no worse than other children." Eunuch Quan responded to Emperor Gan cautiously.
Now that the thing has been done, looking back will only make people more upset. The most important thing is that he, a servant, cannot blame his master for how ridiculous his original decision was.
"Summon Song Zhenjiang into the palace." Emperor Gan naturally knew that Eunuch Quan would not give him the answers he wanted, so he waved his hand tiredly.
What Eunuch Quan said gave him some comfort, but more of it was self-blame and guilt in his heart, and there was no possibility of making amends.
Xu Tianze came out of the Shangshufang and walked all the way towards the harem, and he never let go of the wise king's hand along the way.
"Aze, do you know the way?" The wise king saw that there was nothing wrong with Xu Tianze's face, and he was focused on getting on with his journey, so he teased him.
"Well, Ajiang is here." Xu Tianze paused and touched his nose awkwardly.
If we talk about the area where the emperor is, he is very familiar with it, but if we talk about the harem, Xu Tianze knows nothing about it.
After all, every time he entered the palace, he went to the Shangshufang and the like, and this was his first time going to the harem.
In the past, every time my mother entered the harem, she would only have my eldest sister-in-law accompany her, and men like them were absolutely not allowed to enter the harem.
This is also the reason why Xu Tianze still said something extra even though he was going to see Concubine Shu. He was afraid that he would be framed because of this kind of thing later, so he simply informed the emperor first.
"Don't be nervous, Aze. Mother has a gentle personality and has never deliberately made things difficult for servants." The virtuous king smiled and shook his head, then shook Xu Tianze's hand vigorously.
He didn't expect to see Aze so nervous. Every time Aze confronted his father, he was so bold and arrogant. He thought Xu Tianze was not afraid of anything.
"Who said I was nervous? What should I be nervous about?" Xu Tianze retorted loudly like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Yes, yes, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Then shouldn't you wipe the sweat off Aze's palms?" The wise king hurriedly comforted the bluffing cat.
The sweat in the palm of his hand was getting more and more as time went by, and his hand was sticky. You can imagine how nervous Aze was at that moment.
Now he has to pretend that nothing happened, even though his palms are sweating. It's really funny to think about it.
Xu Tianze was reminded by the wise king and then he realized that his palms had been sweating for a long time. He quickly rubbed his hands on his official uniform and avoided his gaze guiltily.
He thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't expect that in Ajiang's eyes, he had already been exposed.
"Ajiang, is the Concubine Shu really gentle and harmless?" Xu Tianze weakly pulled the hand of the virtuous king, his voice filled with uncontrollable nervousness.
He should have gone to visit Concubine Shu with Ajiang a long time ago, but he was a little timid, so he never dared to go.
Thinking that they would meet sooner or later, he happened to ask for an imperial edict from Ajiang today, which gave him some face. Only then did he muster up the courage to prepare to meet him.
But this palace covers a very large area, and after walking for such a long time, the courage he had previously built up has already subsided.
"Don't worry, don't you trust me?" The wise king hugged Xu Tianze to comfort him.
