Chapter 373: Monarch and Ministers (2)

What I'm going to say next is really hard to say!

He was once a son of heaven, sitting on a harem beauty, but he was not satisfied, secretly had an affair with his minister's wife~, and gave birth to a son. Let the courtiers wear a green hat for more than twenty years

That's it!

Now he opened his mouth and let his son recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. For An Guogong, it is undoubtedly a hard way to uncover the scars that have been covered for many years and become the laughing stock of the world. Doing so is simply bullying the ministers with the king, which is really too much

But as soon as he thought of what the Ye family had said to him, the emperor's trace of guilt and softness was immediately left behind.

Chen Yuanzhao is his son, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for more than 20 years, and he can't always be so wronged by his son. can only make An Guogong suffer some grievances.

"An Guogong, yesterday your house was added, and I specially ordered someone to reward the child with a wishful longevity golden lock, you won't know about this matter!"

Hearing such words, An Guogong's heart sank, but he had to answer: "The minister knows, thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

"This reward is what the child deserves, so why thank me for my grace."

An Guogong's face changed, and his hands and feet were cold.

The worst conjecture is about to come true! The emperor didn't even go around the bend with him, and got to the point directly

"It's just me and you here, and you don't have to hide your words." The emperor said slowly: "The matter of the Ye family was impulsive and confused when I was young, but I didn't expect that there would be Yuan Zhao later. Over the years, I have felt indebted to him. So. I plan to let Yuan Zhao recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors."

Although he had been mentally prepared, the moment he heard the emperor say this in person, An Guogong's mind exploded with a bang. The anger that had been suffocated for more than 20 years swept over my heart.

An Guogong heard himself retort in a trembling voice: "The emperor is a son of heaven, and his words and deeds have attracted the attention of the world, and he is an example for thousands of people. Now he admits that he has an affair with his wife, and he also gave birth to a son. Isn't the emperor afraid of being ridiculed by the world and future generations? ”

An Guogong, who has always been cowardly and incompetent, is like a volcano that has been dormant for several years, and suddenly all of it erupted: "The emperor keeps saying that he owes a lot to Yuan Zhao, doesn't the emperor owe a lot to his ministers?" ”

"For so many years. The minister asked himself if he was not harsh to the Ye family and son. Just to preserve the emperor's reputation and the meager face of the ministers. Now that the emperor wants to recognize Yuan Zhao, where will he put his ministers? Has the emperor ever thought about it for his ministers, what face will he have in the future? ”

The emperor's only remaining guilt. Disappeared without a trace in An Guogong's righteous and indignant interrogation, and curled the corners of his lips with a sneer: "I didn't want to embarrass you, but since you said so, I want to ask you carefully today." ”

"All these years. You and Ye have lost their husband and wife relationship. is surrounded by beautiful concubines. From this point of view, you have nothing to complain about. On the bright side, Yuan Zhao is your real son-in-law. But how do you do it? ”

"Treat your eldest son well, deliberately cold Yuan Zhao, and let everyone know that what you really like is your eldest son Chen Yuanbai. Yuan Zhao has done many things to please your father, but you have never been moved. deliberately put his marriage on hold, just to delay the invitation to the prince. ”

"Chen Xuan! You do some of this. Do you really think I don't know? You hurt Yuan Zhao so unscrupulously, relying on nothing more than that I didn't dare to reveal Yuan Zhao's true life experience to the world. Don't forget. Yuan Zhao is my bloodline and the prince of the Great Yan Dynasty. Shall you be insulted and cruel? ”

"I've been holding back because I'm at fault first, and I can't bear to be ruthless against you. Otherwise, as long as I give an order, the whole Anguo Mansion will fall to the ground! At that time, I want to recognize my son, do you still need to agree? ”

The last sentence was said in a cold and chilling tone.

Like a basin of cold water, An Guogong, who was carried away by anger, poured cold on his heart, and there was no blood on his face.

Yes, the man in front of him is the Son of Heaven above 10,000 people, and a fluttering sentence can ruin the Anguo Mansion. Where did he get the courage to reason with the Son of Heaven just now?

Chen Yuanzhao was not his son in the first place, and the emperor would admit it if he wanted to.

It's better to lose someone than to lose your life.

An Guogong knelt down with a thud, lowered his head, and his voice trembled: "The minister was dizzy for a while, said something offensive to Tianyan, and asked the emperor to forgive him." No matter what decision the emperor makes, the minister will not object. ”

Those who know the times are Junjie.

An Guogong's attitude softened, and the emperor's anger quickly faded by half, and his tone softened: "It's good that you can figure this out." I have made up my mind, and I will choose a suitable time to announce Yuan Zhao's life experience, so that he can restore his original surname and recognize his ancestors. ”

"In this way, I am indeed ashamed of you. This incident also had a significant impact on the reputation of the Anguo Mansion. However, I will compensate you. ”

"When Yuan Zhao recovers his identity, you will only have Chen Yuanbai as his son. The title of Duke of Anguo is naturally to be passed on to him. I will personally decree that he will be crowned the son. ”

This unexpected good news finally made An Guogong's gloomy mood slightly better, and he opened his mouth to thank him.

"You don't have to kneel, get up!" The emperor's tone was a little softer.

An Guogong thanked him again, and then stood up straight.

The two monarchs and ministers have a tacit understanding, and neither of them mentioned the problem in their hearts.

Chen Yuanzhao recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors to restore the surname Murong, Ye is the biological mother of the prince, and it is of course very inappropriate to stay in the Anguo Mansion, but it is even more inappropriate for her to enter the palace as a concubine At that time, how should the Ye family be placed?

In Yeonfu Palace.

Queen Ye lay on the bed sickly, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes on her forehead became more and more obvious, and she looked tired and old.

"Queen Qi, Xu gave birth to a son safely four days ago. Yesterday was the child's baptism, and the emperor ordered Zhao Gonggong to send three baptisms, including a wishful longevity golden lock"

A palace maid in Tsing Yi whispered the news of the inquiry.

There are never secrets in the palace, and the emperor's every move is even more eye-catching. In the past, there was no need for Queen Ye to investigate, and there would be people vying to report the emperor's movements to her.

But now that the King of Chu is imprisoned in the prison, Queen Ye is worried and bedridden, and Yanfu Palace has become a place that everyone avoids. What happened yesterday has only now reached her ears.

When she heard the words Ruyi Longevity Golden Lock, Queen Ye's whole body trembled, and her face changed. (To be continued......)
