Chapter 446: Hitting the Heart
The emperor felt that if he saw Xiao Lanyuan often and talked to him from time to time, he would definitely live many years less.
After getting the things, he didn't want to see this person again! Oh, and Fu Zhaoning!
"What can the three tokens unlock? What can they reveal? It can't be just three things, right?"
Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to ask, the father-in-law simply continued to be this considerate person.
No matter what, Prince Jun must hand over the things today.
"Why does the father-in-law care so much? No matter what it is, it belongs to the Xiao family, not your Jiang family."
The father-in-law also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart due to the choking.
Unfortunately, Gui Xiaozhuang was completely destroyed, and Jiang Ji is now on his last breath. He cannot expose this matter, nor can he seek revenge from Prince Jun. He has to cover this matter up so as not to expose the queen.
"Prince Jun is right. The emperor is also a member of the Xiao family. The emperor must know, right?"
The emperor waved his hand pretentiously, "Well, my father dotes on Prince Jun. If he were to give him most of Zhao State, I wouldn't dare to say anything. If he doesn't want to say anything, that's fine. We are brothers after all. If I'm not feeling well one day, it's normal for Prince Jun to sit in this position and listen to your reports."
hiss.
All the officials gasped.
The emperor is clearly angry.
He has said such things, and he is just short of accusing Prince Jun of not taking him seriously. It is very likely that he will seize the throne.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
An Nian looked at Prince Jun with some worry. This time, it was obvious that the emperor was determined to find out the truth. If Prince Jun didn't tell him, he would definitely not be able to leave.
Moreover, the emperor had already said this, and they all felt their palms sweating, and they didn't know how Prince Jun would respond.
As a result, Prince Jun covered his face with one hand, lowered his head, and said in a muffled and sad tone -
"I am disabled and cannot be a king. Your Majesty, are you poking at my heart?"
You can clearly see that his face and legs are disabled, but you still say that he has the potential to seize the throne?
"I know that I look very annoying, and the emperor would be disgusted by me. In this case, I'd better go back to Youqing Peak. The emperor can also issue an order to order me not to set foot in the capital in this life. Wouldn't that make me feel at ease?"
hiss.
All the officials gasped in unison.
What's with Prince Jun's desperate tone, as if he's indifferent to life and death and has no interest in life?
He was obviously very arrogant with Princess Jun before. Just look at the half-bitten snack on his lap. He even sent someone to the imperial kitchen to get food and sent it to the palace. How could he be such a depressed and pessimistic person?
But no matter whether it is true or not, Prince Jun’s words are so miserable that anyone who hears them will cry.
If the emperor could really do this, wouldn't he be stabbed in the back?
The retired emperor had left a will back then, saying that Prince Jun was frail and sickly, and the royal family owed him something, so he hoped that the emperor would take better care of him in the future. Even the palace allowed him to enter and leave at any time, so how could he be imprisoned in Youqing Peak and never be able to set foot in the capital in this life?
There are still many stubborn old royalists in Zhao State. What they protect is not any specific emperor, but the emperor's majesty, the execution of imperial orders, and the dignity of the royal family.
The emperor also has to follow rules, be filial, and listen to the emperor emeritus.
If the emperor acted recklessly and insisted on having his own way, some old ministers would be killed in the palace.
If the matter gets out of hand, he might not be able to keep his throne.
So, how dare the emperor ignore the will of the retired emperor?
The emperor's chest rose and fell, and he took several deep breaths.
He couldn't calm himself down with just one deep breath, so he had to do it a few more times, which made the veins on his forehead pop out.
"Prince Jun, I never meant that. I am really sad that you made such a wild guess."
Everyone could hear that the emperor said this with gritted teeth.
But at least he said it.
Even if it's just superficial work?
"This capital city, Prince Jun's Mansion, will always be your home, Xiao Lanyuan. Whether you want to go to Youqing Peak or stay in the capital city, it is your freedom. I have never imprisoned you."
When the emperor said this, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Prince Jun said again.
The emperor took another deep breath and said, "Since Prince Jun is unwilling to speak out, let's get on with business. What should we do about the disaster in the large state capital area of Baigui Tower, and what about the food and grass for the garrison of the North Sixth Battalion?"
The officials then returned to the topic.
After much discussion, they still felt that they had to raise some money, regardless of whether they were willing or not. The emperor also issued an order, starting from the capital, asking them to donate voluntarily.
So all the officials had no choice but to accept it.
There will be someone in charge of registration and cashiering, and they will have to go back and discuss how much they want to donate.
"Prince Jun, how much are you prepared to donate?" The father-in-law looked at Xiao Lanyuan again. "The things given by the retired emperor, you have to travel thousands of miles away from Beijing for more than half a year to get them. When you come back, there is also a long convoy, which seems to be full of things. I wonder if there is anything suitable to donate?"
Several ministers who stood on his and the emperor's side also seized the opportunity and asked again.
"Yes, these are all left by the retired emperor. Zhaoguo was also worked hard for by the retired emperor when he was in power. Now there is a disaster in Baigui Tower, and the people and the garrison are in trouble. Doesn't Prince Jun want to do more?"
"Even if the emperor knew about this, I'm afraid he would donate a huge sum of money."
"Of course. The emperor is most concerned about the people. Now that Prince Jun has received the wealth left by the emperor, he should donate some, right? This is equivalent to continuing to protect the people of Zhaoguo on behalf of the emperor."
There was a slight chill in Xiao Lanyuan's eyes.
If he doesn't tell these people, they will never let him go.
He chuckled.
"Since you are so eager to know what the Emperor left for me, I will tell you."
The emperor's ears pricked up instantly.
Are you going to say it? Are you going to say it?
"Why didn't he leave the things in the capital? Because the things are all where my mother is buried. What's left there are all my mother's relics."
"What?"
"What?" Some adults spoke in dialect.
"Do you want to force me to donate my mother's belongings?" Prince Jun sneered, "If you don't believe me, the emperor will assign two people to Prince Jun's mansion, and I will show them what I have."
The emperor was stunned.
He just couldn't believe it.
"A Yuan," he called Prince Jun's name again, "You, your mother."
"What relics did he leave behind?" Prince Jun interrupted him, "Is that what the emperor wants to ask? Then why don't you go to the palace and take a look yourself?"
this. .
The emperor really wants to go and see it!
