Chapter 434: Epilogue: Imperial City 4
Adu ascended the throne at the age of thirteen. The new emperor was named Emperor Yanyun, the first emperor of Great Yan. As soon as he ascended the throne, he appointed his father as the Supreme Emperor and his mother as the Empress Dowager.
Sitting on the throne, he controls all directions, and the people of the world pay him homage and shout "Long live His Majesty."
Of course, the days of getting up earlier than the chickens, sleeping later than the dogs, and working harder than the cows have officially begun.
In this life, A'du almost grew up with his father.
When he was young, he was held in his father's arms. When he grew older, his father taught him personally. Although his father did not teach much, Shangguan Tong and Shen Mo served as his civil and military tutors, but his father was always by his side.
In addition, Adu was his father's only child, so Adu didn't actually want to ascend the throne so early, but his father couldn't wait any longer.
The reason was probably that in the spring of his thirteenth year, his mother became pregnant again.
Yan Xingchuan no longer wanted to be the regent. He wanted to go back to be with his wife and get married.
There was no other way. For the sake of his father and mother, A'du sighed and had to go.
Without him, this family would have broken up long ago.
Oh!
I heard that his father was a man of honor because of his son, so his mother didn't kick him away!
Fortunately, he was gifted and seemed to be born for this job. From the age of ten, Yan Xingchuan handed over some state affairs to him, and he handled them well. With three years of experience, he, the young emperor, was able to sit firmly in this position.
At worst, his father is not dead. If he really can't handle it, he can go find his father again.
"Your Majesty, there are three more memorials to be submitted. Once we have dealt with today's affairs, we are done."
One day, in the upper study, Yun Gang presented three newly received memorials.
A'Du's face turned green, and the skin on his face, which had not yet opened, was tense. He felt a little aggrieved: "I won't be able to grow taller!"
Those two heartless people left such a huge family business to him and took refuge in Daming Palace. They didn't care about anything that they couldn't handle. In order to see his parents, A'du stayed up for two nights and finished the piled up memorials.
Just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, new ones were delivered.
Yun Gang suppressed his laughter and whispered, "No matter how much you complain, it still needs to be dealt with. It's better to deal with it first before going to Daming Palace. The Queen Mother is probably waiting for you."
After hearing this, A'Du no longer had the heart to complain. He picked up a memorial, glanced over it, read it carefully, and thought about it seriously.
He had a youthful mind and grew up surrounded by the love of many people. Even though his parents and elders taught him to be a qualified emperor, he would occasionally have a little temper.
However, he has always understood the principle of doing his job well and never dared to be careless when it comes to matters of family and country. It is this point that gives Yan Xingchuan the courage to give up his responsibilities.
After dealing with the three memorials, A'du breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no new ones had been sent. He immediately asked someone to bring his horse over. He was going to Daming Palace to find the heartless parents.
The spring days are long and the spring breeze is gentle. In the Daming Palace, flowers are in full bloom, and the flowers are as numerous as brocade. A gust of wind blows, and it is the warm spring on earth and the leisure time on earth.
After A'du entered the Daming Palace, he did not see his mother. Instead, he saw Yan Xingchuan hoeing the ground in a flower garden. He tucked the hem of his clothes into his belt and hoeed the ground very quickly.
A'Du walked over and sat down on a clean rock: "What are you doing?"
"Growing vegetables." Yan Xingchuan looked up at him, then said with some disdain, "What are you doing here? Are you free?"
"Why, do you want to grow vegetables with me when I'm free?" A'Du was not in a good mood. Maybe they had a conflict in their previous life, and he would not feel happy if he didn't say a few words to me.
“It’s not impossible.”
"You really want me to plant it?"
"Stop talking nonsense and come down to sow the seeds and water the plants."
A'Du had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and help his heartless father farm. Someone brought water, he sowed the seeds, someone cultivated the soil, and then he watered the land.
As he was watering, A'Du asked his conscienceless father: "Dad, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Doesn't he feel guilty about leaving such a heavy burden of the country to his young son and having free time to farm himself?
Yan Xingchuan asked him: "Do you think I have a conscience?"
It seems like he's the one who always scolds his heartless father, right?
Adu: "...Yes, um... more or less."
Yan Xingchuan laughed angrily: "If you weren't sitting in that position, you would have been beaten today, believe it or not?"
A'Du shut up and just sowed the seeds and watered the plants obediently.
There's nothing I can do. He's already this old, and he's still getting beaten. It's really embarrassing.
After finishing their work, the father and son washed their hands and faces, and then went to have lunch with the Empress Dowager.
At that time, the Queen Mother was sitting under a crabapple tree in a corner of the palace to rest. Seeing the father and son coming back together, she waved to them and asked them to come over.
Yan Xingchuan hurried over, then took her hand and sat down beside her. "A'si, you said yesterday that you wanted to eat vegetables you grew yourself. I asked someone to bring some seeds and reclaimed a vegetable patch. They've already been planted. In a month or two, we should be able to eat them."
A'Du said from the side: "Mother, I also helped."
Yan Xingchuan said disdainfully: "How can he help? He only makes things worse. I wish I could kick him out."
Adu: “?!”
No, Dad, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
A'Du gritted his teeth: "Dad, you are really virtuous and a good husband."
Yan Xingchuan said as a matter of course: "Of course, I am a good husband to my wife. What's your business? If you want to do it, you have to wait until you grow up and marry my wife."
A'Du gritted his teeth again: "You also know that I haven't grown up yet!"
"So what if I know?"
"If you do this, your son will be unfilial!"
"What a joke! Who needs your filial piety? Just take care of yourself!"
"Then when you are old, I will steal your cane."
"You dare!"
The father and son started arguing again after a disagreement. Cui Si sat aside and watched, and felt that this year's spring was particularly brilliant.
Yan Xingchuan couldn't argue anymore, so he started to complain: "My wife, look at this brat, he has no respect for his age. If you don't know him, you would think he is my father. He even said that he would take my crutches when I get old!"
“I’m so old, so miserable…”
Cui Si laughed out loud.
A'Du's face turned green, and he immediately said cruelly: "When you are old and can't beat me anymore, I will beat you up!"
He wants to get back all the beatings he received!
"Alright, alright." Cui Si tried to stop the fight with a smile. If they continued, he might even say 'I'll open your coffin when you die'.
"Calm down, everyone. I guessed A'Du would come today, so I had two ducks roasted. It's enough for you and your son to eat."
"If you want anything else to eat, tell me and I'll have someone make it."
Yan Xingchuan: "I want to eat whatever my wife wants to eat."
Adu: "I want to eat fish."
The Queen Mother likes fish the most.
The father and son looked at each other, and the younger one snorted and turned away.
