Zhang Baotian helped him serve the dishes.
"You have just ascended the throne. You should wait a while before leaving the palace." After thinking about it, An Zhongyi advised.
"The court is now on the right track. Xiaobai will be able to take charge of things on his own after some training. It's okay for my son to be out for a while."
After dinner, An Zhongyi went to the palace to rest, and Zhang Baotian was left behind by An Jingzhi.
"I see that the old man seems to be hesitant to speak today. Did something happen outside?"
Zhang Baotian hesitated, and An Jingzhi knocked on the table. "What? Are you hiding something from me too?"
Zhang Baotian immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not." Then he told An Jingzhi everything that happened today.
"He was riding in a sedan chair in a busy city and almost hit a passerby, but he was still acting so recklessly. What a reckless person you are, Sun He. I already know about this matter. You can go down." Zhang Baotian retreated and wiped the sweat from his forehead carefully until he was out of An Jingzhi's sight.
Who could have imagined that a farmer's son who had been a beggar could become so rich and sit on the throne of emperor? Most importantly, he was loyal and righteous.
After he became emperor, some people openly and secretly felt that the emperor should not have a disabled father, and asked him to recognize An Zhongyi as his adoptive father, which would sound better when said so.
But the emperor didn't listen at all. He dragged out and beat all those who said such things with sticks, and the guilty were sent to prison on the spot.
Although An Zhongyi no longer held the position of factory manager and was just a retired emperor with no power or position, no one dared to offend An Zhongyi because of An Jingzhi's attitude towards him in the past. And Zhang Baotian, who was An Zhongyi's personal eunuch, naturally also rose in status.
She no longer had to live in fear like before, worrying about being disliked by the emperor one day.
The emperor said that when they are old, they can go to a farm outside the palace to retire, and he will take care of the funeral arrangements of all the eunuchs and palace maids.
With this alone, An Jingzhi easily conquered the entire palace.
Although eunuchs and palace maids are small figures, it is difficult to guard against them if they do bad things.
The faction that belonged to An Zhongyi originally thought that they were finished, but unexpectedly, things took a comical turn. They directly became the faction of the retired emperor, and the emperor was filial. It can be said that they won the court struggle that was originally evenly matched without any effort.
After Zhang Baotian finished speaking, Sun He was arrested and imprisoned the next day on charges of corruption and abuse of power.
But everyone in the know knew that this had offended the retired emperor, and the emperor was standing up for his father.
An Jingzhi was in power for decades, and he governed the Taiping Kingdom in an orderly manner. Xiaobai also became the prime minister and helped An Jingzhi deal with many things.
After An Zhongyi passed away, An Jingzhi passed the throne to his son and then died.
