Chapter 319 Wu'an King Xiao Tai
The second elder brother smiled and said, "Besides, I have offended someone and I am afraid that they will beat me up, so you come to help me. Anyway, come to me before the beginning of the day after tomorrow."
Yan Shenjue glanced at him and said, "Got it."
He paused and said, "Why don't you learn some boxing skills? Even if it's just to stretch your muscles."
He looked at him and said, "You were just teaching me that I should learn to do things I am not good at. Otherwise, when the time comes, I will be helpless."
The second brother was playing tricks: "Why should I cry out in vain? Can't I call Xiao Jue?"
As he spoke, he walked away quickly.
When he was getting ready to leave the next day, he reminded him again. This time, Yan Shenjue didn't even say that he knew. His eyes looked worried, a little annoyed, and a little happy, as if to say, "Why do I have such a useless brother?"
The second brother thought the child was really interesting and couldn't help but pat him on the head.
Yan Shen never hid.
It was not until his second brother was about to leave that he said, "By the way, Master has been appointed Right Prime Minister. The decree has been issued. Go and tell Senior Brother about it."
Now he no longer pretends to call him uncle, but directly calls him master.
The second brother turned back in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
He said, "I just got the news last night."
The second brother said, "Tell me in detail."
Yan Shenjue explained in detail, and the second brother nodded and said, "I beg you, Xiaojue, if you get news of this kind of thing in the future, tell me immediately, okay?"
Yan Shenjue said, "Is there any difference between waking you up in the middle of the night and telling you this and telling you this this morning?"
Second brother: “…”
Okay, okay!
He waved his hand and left.
Yan Shenjue returned to his room and continued writing to Emperor Mingpei.
Big Brother Tang’s thoughts and the old patriarch’s thoughts have deeply touched him. Now, he can increasingly feel…how should I put it, the excitement around him.
Even if someone like the old patriarch, an old farmer in the countryside, is not as knowledgeable as Tang Qingshan, nor as outstanding as Brother Tang, he is just an ordinary old farmer, but he still has a heart to serve his country and respects heroes in his heart.
Even if this thought only flashes through his mind, he may give up silently in the face of life just like he did when he was young. However, if we throw a fire when everyone is still passionate, it will burn fiercely and create a different life.
People's subconscious mind is sometimes more real.
Yan Chenjue clearly did not remember Emperor Mingpei clearly, but he deeply remembered the feeling of wholehearted trust.
Therefore, his letters seemed particularly intimate and admiring.
Emperor Mingpei reads a lot of text and listens to a lot of people talking every day, and he can tell who is sincere and who is not at the moment.
He already loved Yan Shenjue very much, and now, he saw him rise from the dead like a phoenix with his own eyes, and he felt that his love was especially sincere and warm.
He seemed to have seen a world completely different from what he had seen through his hands, his eyes, his heart... and because he was particularly ignorant and sincere, his feelings were also particularly deep.
As an emperor, I am used to seeing the general situation of the world, and when I read such lovely words, I really feel... an indescribable sense of relief and warmth.
Emperor Mingpei smiled, but couldn't help sighing.
After a long while, he slowly put away the letter and told his personal eunuch Fang Wuyou: "Find a box and put all of Xiao Jue's letters in a separate place. I need to read them from time to time."
Fang Wuyou responded quickly, took the letter with both hands, and retreated.
Emperor Mingpei pondered for a moment, and inexplicably recalled the secret memorial Liang Ruoxu submitted a few days ago, and the report Gao Fu made after returning to the palace, so he called for someone else to come over.
Fang Wuyou responded hastily and said, "Prince Xuanwu'an is here to see you."
King Wu'an Xiao Tai, the emperor's uncle at that time, was in charge of the Grand Marshal's Office.
The Grand Commander is equivalent to the Grand Marshal of the Army in some dynasties. He holds military power and is truly a powerful person.
Xiao Taisheng was tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Even in casual clothes, he was full of imposing manner. He entered the imperial study and bowed. Emperor Mingpei gave him a seat and waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to move the seat closer.
Xiao Tai couldn't move the stool, so even though he felt a little strange, he still sat down.
He supported his knees, sat upright, and waited for a long time, but the emperor didn't speak. Xiao Tai raised his eyes curiously and saw the emperor looking at him.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xiao Tai asked curiously, "Your Majesty?"
Emperor Mingpei laughed and said, "My dear minister, I heard a piece of gossip... Have you heard it?"
Xiao Tai said, "Your Majesty, please speak?"
Emperor Mingpei said, "There is an old farmer in the countryside who looks very similar to you."
Xiao Tai: “……???”
He really didn't know what the emperor meant. So what if they looked similar? Emperor Mingpei asked, "Do you think you will have a younger brother?"
Xiao Tai twitched his lips, "Your Majesty, don't you know about my family's affairs? How many generations have we been single-line descendants? I don't even have sisters! If I could have a younger brother, even if he was useless, my parents would be so happy. What concubines? No matter who gave birth to them, they would have recognized them back long ago. Why would they let him live outside as an ordinary citizen?"
Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "He is not a useless person. He is the Earl of Jishan County whom I conferred upon him a few days ago. He is a man of insight and kindness. He also has many children, six sons and one daughter."
"Ah!" Xiao Tai said, "He is so fertile, so he must not be my brother! Of these six sons, you can give me half, or even just one! I won't have to be beaten every day... I am over 40 and still have no son. Your Majesty, I am so sad! How about Your Majesty give me two more imperial doctors..."
Emperor Mingpei: “…”
He felt amused, angry, and somewhat helpless.
The Wu'an Palace had been a single-line inheritance for several generations. When it came to Xiao Tai's generation, he had been trying to have a son since he got married at the age of 20. Now, 20 years have passed, and he still hasn't even managed to have a daughter...
For this reason, old King Wu'an was still guarding the border at such an old age, and he kept asking Xiao Tai to give birth to a son to leave a successor for the Xiao family, and then he could go to the border and exchange old King Wu'an back... As a result, he guarded the border for twenty years.
People outside said that their family was full of evil spirits and could not give birth to a son. Not to mention the Xiao family, even Emperor Mingpei was angry when he heard it! How could no one do this to defend the country? The Xiao family was dedicated to the country and defended the country... It was really vicious and cold to make up such rumors. It was just like what people often say, it's easy to talk without any pain in the waist! In a rage, Emperor Mingpei sent two civil officials to the border one after another, and the rumors finally stopped, but even after they stopped, Xiao Tai still couldn't give birth to a son.
In other words, Xiao Tai has an open-minded personality and he would make fun of himself from time to time. If he were another man, he would be so depressed.
Emperor Mingpei sighed and said no more: "You... go!"
Xiao Tai bowed and came out, but before he reached the palace gate, he was stopped and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has summoned you."
Xiao Tai's brows suddenly furrowed.
He stood there for a long while, gritted his teeth, turned around and went to the East Palace.
