Xiao Yanzhi didn't speak after sitting down, just looked around curiously, looking at the emperor's study with great interest.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's scrutiny, the emperor asked, "What do you think of my study?" ”

"En......" Xiao Yanzhi replied after thinking about it carefully, "The place of the father is not bad, but it is better to move the imperial case of the father." ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanzhi really mentioned a Jianyì, and the emperor asked with interest: "Why is this?" I'm not in a good position to place this imperial case? ”

"It's not bad," Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile, "It's just that the sunlight shines in through the window behind my father, although it's warm, it should be a little dazzling when you look at the folds." ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and he specially turned to look at the window behind him, and then looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a little surprise, and said, "Just come in for a while, you know?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at the fold in the emperor's hand and said, "The son just saw it, and the fold in the emperor's hand is glowing." ”

The Emperor looked down and laughed.

"I heard that after you retired from the dynasty, you caused trouble?" Putting down the fold in his hand, the emperor asked tentatively.

Xiao Yanzhi suddenly said with a look of surprise: "Someone complained to my father so soon?" ”

"Tell me what you did." The emperor leaned back in his chair and looked at Xiao Yanzhi's eyes narrowing slightly.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "Doesn't my father know everything." ”

"I want to hear from you."

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said: "Erchen just sat too upright, and as a result, his legs were numb, and he got up later after retreating from the dynasty, and even those old men knelt for a long time." ”

"Really?" It was not like a question, the emperor still looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a smile.

"It's not," Xiao Yanzhi complained in the emperor's tone, "It's the first time for Erchen to go to the court, how can he know so many rules. These adults are careful. ”

"That's because you haven't been to the court, and there are more rules." The emperor was waiting, waiting for Xiao Yanzhi to talk about Qin Tai.

"Really?" Xiao Yan frowned when he heard more rules, "That father is really hard." ”

The emperor chuckled lightly and said, "In the future, I will have you to accompany me to work hard, you are the prince, the eldest son of me." ”

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes widened in astonishment, and then he showed a disgusted expression, and then seemed to think of something, and said to the emperor: "By the way, father, there is an adult and a son who said that he is his mother's cousin, who is that?" ”

The emperor's breath was relaxed, and his smile was much softer: "Didn't your mother tell you?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said: "It's really not, Erchen only remembers that my mother said that most of her mother's relatives lived in her hometown, but most of the people died in the flooding that year, and the rest couldn't get in touch because they fled, but I haven't heard of any other officials." ”

The emperor laughed and said, "He is not your mother's cousin, but his ancestors are related to him, and his mother's generation is not even a distant relative." ”

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Erchen, this is the first time he entered the palace, he was stammered? ”

"Well, that's what happened." The Emperor felt that his eldest son seemed to be a little interesting, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"What to do?" Xiao Yan looked at the emperor in bewilderment.

The emperor raised his hand as if flipping the folds on the table at will, and his eyes moved to the folds, and said, "Let's see if you want to accept that person's stammer." ”

Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Then it's free, Erchen has been a flat-headed commoner for so many years, and he was scolded by a big official like this, Erchen is very happy in his heart, and there is no need to accept it." If the father can use the son, the son will stay in the palace, and if the father does not need the son, the son will go back to Jiangnan. ”

Xiao Yanzhi originally thought so, if the emperor didn't keep him, he could return to Jiangnan happily, but if the emperor kept him, then he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so it was better to stay with peace of mind.

The emperor's hand paused, and he looked up at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously: "You want to go back to Jiangnan?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Yanzhi smiled calmly, "Seeing that my father has arranged so much for my son, my son knows that my father has a plan, and he just wants to wait for a suitable opportunity to talk to his father in detail, but I didn't expect to have a chance so soon."

Erchen is different from other princes, Erchen did not grow up beside his father, can not communicate with his father, and his mother is an extremely ordinary woman, she taught Erchen the Compendium of Ethics often four books and five classics, but can not teach Erchen the way of auxiliary country, Erchen knows that he is not enough, and he does not dare to say that he is worried about his father. ”

The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether what Xiao Yanzhi said was true or false: "Pei Ze took someone to Jiangnan to pick you up, why did you run away?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "Erchen feels embarrassed, he originally didn't want to enter the palace, anyway, although the world is big, no matter where he is, he can hear the news of his father, as long as his father is well, there is no one in Chang'an City who can make Erchen worry, and Erchen doesn't have to come to this trip, it's just ...... It's just that King Wucheng has been chasing, and Erchen is really ...... When I was in Bianzhou, I was already thinking about simply entering the palace with King Wucheng, but I was arrested by King Wucheng in Bianzhou. ”

"Do you really want to go back to Jiangnan?" The Emperor frowned.

Xiao Yanzhi stared at the emperor with a somewhat suspicious and panicked expression for a while, and sighed: "In this palace, I'm afraid that Erchen won't be able to live for too long." ”

"How is it a person? I am here, and so are your brothers. Xiao Yanzhi's words were a little harsh in the emperor's ears, so that the emperor unconsciously retorted.

Xiao Yanzhi lowered his head, chuckled, and said, "But those brothers are not close to their sons, and the father is ...... The father doesn't trust his sons, does he? ”

When he said this last sentence, Xiao Yanzhi slowly raised his head and looked at the emperor, his eyes were full of helplessness and amazement.

The emperor's heart was like being slammed with a heavy hammer, and he looked back at Xiao Yanzhi blankly.

Xiao Yanzhi is right, he doesn't believe it, although Xiao Yanzhi is his eldest son, although Xiao Yanzhi is simpler and less ignorant of power than other princes, he still doesn't believe it.

After years of fighting and ruling the country for three years, his comrades-in-arms alienated him, his courtiers feared him, his sons calculated him, and even the pillow people put their families above him, they were always thinking about others, they always wanted to share more benefits from him, and their hearts were not towards him. No one believes him.

But he doesn't want to become unbelievable, he also wants to have someone he can trust, drink him drunk without worrying about the difference in his head, discuss the world's major events together without worrying about the content leaking, he thought.

Seeing that the emperor still couldn't come back to his senses, Xiao Yanzhi sighed again and said, "Erchen is not blaming his father, you and I have been separated for twenty years, and it is helpless to become like this." I'm afraid that my son won't be able to use this lunch with my father, so I told ......"

"Stay." The emperor suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt Xiao Yan's words, as if muttering, and even more like sighing.

"Father?" Xiao Yan looked at the emperor in bewilderment.

Remain? Do you want him to stay for this lunch, or do you want him to stay in the palace for a long time?

The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi with kind eyes and said, "Yanzhi, stay by my side and give me a chance to make up for the vacancy of the past twenty years." ”

and give him a person to trust with all his heart to rely on. If he can trust anyone, this eldest son is probably the only candidate.

Xiao Yanzhi blinked. He seems to ...... Inspired the emperor's paternal love?

Thinking back to his words, Xiao Yanzhi found that it was indeed easy to stimulate father's love, but he originally thought that the emperor's father's love would not be so easy to arouse. Xiao Yanzhi didn't have the intention of arousing the emperor's fatherly love and causing him to feel guilty.

But since the emperor has spoken, he can't refuse.

So Xiao Yanzhi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, and said softly.

Since the emperor needs a son, then he gives the emperor a son, not a "son".
