Chapter 296: I Don't Like It Again
Yan Xiao sat on the roof of the Qionghua Palace, looking at the slowly rising sun in the east illuminating the palace that had passed through a night of hell, and the blue tile red wall revealed the original beautiful color, but under the wall, there were people everywhere washing the large blood stains left by last night.

Yan Xiao couldn't help but sneeze, and Yao Zhi'an shouted below: "Young master, come down and have breakfast." ”
He felt like an old mother deeply.
Yan Xiao said, "Bring me breakfast, and I will eat it here." ”
Yao Zhian was helpless: "Niangniang is about to wake up in a while, you better watch how to explain to her first." ”
Yan Xiao smiled: "You ran faster than anyone else." ”
Probably now, only the Qionghua Hall can still pick up exquisite porridge and side dishes as usual, and the Empress Dowager Liu, Xu Qingyue and others also sleep well until dawn.
"The mourning family always feels a headache, and I couldn't sleep well last night." Empress Dowager Liu looked at the people beside her.
She had always slept lightly, but last night it was like a nightmare, and she couldn't wake up.
As soon as she was dressed properly, Empress Dowager Liu felt that the atmosphere in the palace today was not quite right, Yao Zhi'an fearfully recounted the events of last night to Empress Dowager Liu, and Empress Dowager Liu finally said with a dark face:
"Go get that bastard!"
Yan Xiao originally wanted to hide on the roof all the time and couldn't come down, but in the end, his grandmother couldn't stand it, so he almost asked someone to stab him with a pole underneath, so he had to crawl down again.
The Empress Dowager and her grandson wanted to whisper, so they naturally retreated.
Because she didn't sleep all night, Yan Xiao didn't seem as fine and tender as usual, and there was a green mustache on her chin, although Empress Dowager Liu looked distressed, her tone still didn't soften:
"You're so nonsense, how can you say such a big thing, why don't you say a word to the mourning family?"
Yan Xiao tilted his head: "What do I want to say to you?" It's not that I called King Wei to rebel. ”
He can't think everything right, what he can do is to prepare for the worst with the best.
He didn't think it was a very filial thing to tell the old man about some bad intentions that he was not sure of.
Empress Dowager Liu said coldly: "You are good at planning, and you can talk about moving the emperor." ”
Yan Xiao looked at Empress Dowager Liu and said, "Don't tell my grandmother, part of the consideration is that you don't want to expand the matter and let more people know, so as not to leak the news, and indeed part of the consideration is because of your attitude towards the Wei Wangfu." ”
Empress Dowager Liu knew that the child had grown up, and this was no longer a fledgling that she wanted her to protect under her wings, but she still couldn't help but say: "Xiao'er, you have to know that the emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and the mourning family is already old, how long has he been unable to protect you, although King Wei has antipathy, but he is afraid of us, and now that you help the emperor to uproot him so thoroughly, will the emperor remember how much affection you have?" ”
She has been the emperor's adoptive mother for so many years, and she knows his temperament as well as King Wei, and the emperor is a person who absolutely does not rub sand in his eyes.
What's more, what does this incident mean?
It shows that Yan Xiao has extraordinary vision and execution ability, and he can discover and overturn a major case of rebellion. With such a person, will the emperor value him and let him go?
King Wei's next, it's him!
Yan Xiao smiled: "I know what you mean, using strength to fight and press each other is a consistent means of checks and balances." But grandmother, the times are changing, aren't you tired of taking on such a role all the time? ”
He spread his hands, "I feel tired anyway." ”
Even after the death of Empress Dowager Liu in the future, he did not want to inherit her tradition, and continued to suppress the emperor and King Wei, and they were mutually entangled.
What he wants to do is to break this situation.
Empress Dowager Liu stared at him as he continued.
"The emperor and the king of Wei, one is a tiger and a leopard, and the other is a jackal, in fact, there is not much difference, they are keen on power struggles and throne struggles, but what about you, grandmother? Are you and I the same people? ”
Empress Dowager Liu was slightly moved, and only listened to him continue:
"I don't like it because of my ambition to continue to participate in these struggles, to take advantage of others and to be used endlessly! There are many ways to protect yourself, but you don't have to sacrifice your heart. ”
Just for the sake of a sentence "I don't like it again".
How capricious, but it is also a kind of courage that Empress Dowager Liu has not had in recent decades.
Empress Dowager Liu looked at the child and sighed slightly.
She is indeed old.
This child has a different kind of freedom and calmness from ordinary people, what he does often seems to be out of order and does not meet the standards of the world, but in fact, he is trying to live himself.
For a long time, Empress Dowager Liu knew that Yan Xiao did not mean to fight for the throne, originally with his foreign surname, fighting for the throne was equivalent to rebellion.
It's not that he doesn't dare to take the throne, but he doesn't like it, he is very smart and open-minded, but such a person is not suitable to be an emperor.
Even the Empress Dowager Liu had to admit that although the current emperor has a bad personality and vicious methods, his means of clamping down on the ministers and balancing the Quartet are very clever, and it cannot be said to be a virtuous government, but it is far from tyranny.
Her husband Yuzong is a Ming monarch, but in the Yuzong Dynasty, civil officials criticized each other, and it was difficult to recover the military power for a long time.
"When you grow up, you will be more appropriate to deal with these matters than the mourning family."
Empress Dowager Liu finally recognized Yan Xiao's behavior.
Yan Xiao knew that King Wei's rebellious heart would always exist, and his power partly relied on the Empress Dowager Liu to remove him, and it was also to return his maternal grandmother to a clean house, and how the emperor would act in the future was also a matter between him and the emperor.
"Xiao'er ......"
Empress Dowager Liu's expression was a little looser, as if she had something in her heart that she was planning to let go.
"The girl in the Su family, if you really like it, marry it."
Yan Xiao was stunned, she was still talking about the situation in the court a moment ago, why did the conversation suddenly turn to her?
He seemed to be smiling, "Grandmother, I ...... too"
Empress Dowager Liu interrupted him, "The mourning family knows what you have to say, you don't want to drag others down." But Xiao'er, that girl, is not an ordinary girl, she may not feel that this is a drag. ”
Yan Xiao smiled knowingly, this is, in her opinion, I am afraid that no one and everything can drag her down.
"So, why don't you ask for yourself?"
He should also have a chance to be happy.
Yan Xiao was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Empress Dowager Liu actually felt a little guilty in her heart, because of King Wei earlier, she also thought about marrying the county lord of Huaiyang to Yan Xiao, but this child has been resisting death.
Now that he is sure that he has the ability to take charge of himself, the Empress Dowager Liu, who feels sorry for her grandson, does not want to be his bond, and only hopes that he can fulfill his wish in the matter of marrying.
