Chapter 281: Father and Son
After Li Xun's introduction, Yang Wu realized that Yang Xingmi's condition seemed to be cured, but it fell to the root of the disease, if he rested and recuperated well, he might be able to live for three or five years, if he continued to work hard, it might be a year or two long, or less than a year, his condition would recur, and Li Xun would not be cured at that time.

Hearing this result, Yang Wu couldn't help but feel sad, remembering that Yang Xingmi in history died of illness after continuing to work hard for more than a year, and it seems that history has not changed much at this point.
The only thing that has changed is that after Yang Wu in history became the military envoy of the Yanai two years ago, he has not performed much. And at this time, maybe Yang Xingmi already knew that his life would not last long, so even if Yang Wu did not perform well, he could only increase his training efforts and let him serve as the Xuanzhou Observation Envoy.
And the heavy responsibility of taking charge of Huainan still had to be pressed on him, so that he died of illness more than a year later.
But now Yang Wu has grown up on the battlefield, and now he has enough prestige to take over the responsibility of taking over Huainan from Yang Xingmi, so that he can have time to rest.
Thinking of this, Yang Wu went directly to find Yang Xingmi, who had gradually recovered, and as soon as they met, Yang Wu said: "Father, although your body has recovered a little now, you have not recovered after all, so the child wants to officially take charge of Huainan, and please ask his father to temporarily retire, and it is not too late to come back to work when he is well recuperated." ā
Yang Xingmi was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Yang Wu to ask for power from him so directly, and even said something to let him recuperate.
If it is those who are seriously suspicious and sick, I am afraid that at this time, I will wonder if Yang Wu is ready to take advantage of his serious illness to seize power.
However, Yang Xingmi didn't think about it in that direction, he looked at Yang Wu with some surprise, he saw sadness in Yang Wu's expression, so he pondered for a moment and reacted.
"Wu'er, is it because my father's illness has not been cured, and the root of the disease has fallen, and there is no cure?" He said in a deep voice.
"No, my father's illness has long been cured, how can there be any root cause? The father should not think too much, the child just wants the father to have a good rest for a while. Yang Wu's expression was a little unnatural.
Yang Xingmi was silent for a moment before saying: "Wu'er, why do you hide it from me, I know my body best, and it is a great luck to be able to wake up again this time." Just say it directly, did that Li Xun tell you something? You tell me the truth! ā
Yang Wu looked up and saw Yang Xingmi looking at him firmly, hesitated slightly, and finally told the truth: "Li Xun said that if my father recuperates well, he should have three or five years, and if he is ......, it may only be one or two years."
Yang Xingmi laughed when he heard this: "It turns out that there is still such a long time, and I thought it would be a few months for my father!" ā
Yang Wu felt a little sour in his heart, the hero in his mind, the father he recognized, even if he knew that he only had a life span of three or five years at most, he still behaved so heroically.
"Idiot!" Yang Xingmi sighed, patted Yang Wu on the shoulder and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things for people, why bother to be a child, this is not like the Huainan prince who commands thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield!" ā
He smiled self-deprecatingly: "When my father was in Xuanzhou, I once met a hermit who told his father's fortune, saying that his father could finally be crowned king, but he would live to be fifty-five years old at most. My father is fifty-two years old this year, and now it seems that the hermit is very accurate! ā
Yang Wu didn't know how to answer for a while, but listened to Yang Xingmi continue: "No matter what, if you live for your father for more than fifty years, you can't be regarded as dying early." Emperor Taizong of this dynasty was so wise and martial, didn't he only live to be fifty years old in the end? ā
"And the crown prince chosen by Emperor Taizong almost buried the Tang Dynasty in the end, but his father cultivated you as a successor, so I think that at this point, I still do better than Taizong?" Yang Xingmi suddenly laughed.
Yang Wu smiled bitterly, the purpose of his coming here was originally to persuade Yang Xingmi to recuperate, but he didn't expect that in the end, Yang Xingmi began to persuade himself.
I only heard Yang Xingmi continue: "I have lived for my father for more than fifty years, and now I have no regrets, but there are two things that I can't rest assured about my father." ā
Yang Wu hurriedly said: "Father can't rest assured about anything, please make it clear that the child must work hard for his father." ā
"The first thing is that my father was born when the Tang Dynasty was not yet turbulent, and then the world was in turmoil, the people were not happy, and the people rose up. As a father, he also took advantage of the situation to start an incident in Luzhou, and fought for 20 years to have today's Huainan. However, his father never thought of replacing Datang in his heart. ā
"My father knows that you don't have any feelings for Datang, and it can be seen from your active efforts to build Shengzhou that you have the ambition to build a country and become an emperor in the future!"
Yang Wu was taken aback, it was normal for him to have this ambition, although he had not shown it openly, but many people were afraid that they could see it, so he was not surprised that Yang Xingmi could guess his thoughts.
But what does Yang Xingmi mean by bringing it up at this time? Is he going to give up the idea of becoming emperor himself?
I only heard Yang Xingmi continue: "You have ambitions, and you don't object to your father, even if you oppose it, it's useless." So the Father only wants you to say a little ......"
"Father, please speak!"
"Zhu Quanzhong killed the king, this is a great and unrebellious move, and the one who will kill me in the future will be this person! So promise your father that if you want to be emperor in the future, you must destroy this man first! If this person is dead, his descendants must be destroyed as well! Can you make a guarantee? ā
After listening to Yang Xingmi's assurance, Yang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, this request was not difficult, and he never thought of being the emperor in a hurry, so it was a big deal to be the king first.
As for the elimination of Zhu Quanzhong and his descendants, even if Yang Wu did nothing, according to the historical development trajectory, Liang was wiped out by Li Cunqiao after nineteen years, so the difficulty of this article is actually not great.
He immediately made a solemn guarantee to Yang Xingmi.
Yang Xingmi nodded, and then said: "As for the second one, it is those old brothers who can succeed for the father, and those old brothers who are not at ease now." So you have to promise your father that as long as those old brothers don't rebel, you have to treat them well! ā
Yang Wu didn't think much about it and agreed, this requirement is also relatively broad, and there is no strict definition, if Yang Wu really wants to kill someone, he can always find a reason.
In history, so many heroes of various dynasties and generations who had gold medals for avoiding death were not killed in the end, so Yang Wu was not worried about this.
Of course, if those heroes didn't have the idea of rebellion, Yang Wu himself didn't think about killing them.
After getting Yang Wu's two guarantees, Yang Xingmi smiled, and he said to Yang Wu in a relaxed tone: "Okay, my father's health is not good, and I will leave Huainan's affairs to you to take care of in the future, and I will retire and recuperate for my father." ā
"Thank you, father!" Yang Wu bowed.
Yang Xingmi nodded, and continued: "Now that the official business is finished, then it's time to talk about private affairs!" You and your daughter-in-law have been married for more than half a year now, why haven't you moved at all? I don't have many heirs in the Yang family, which is not a good thing! ā
Yang Wu's face turned red, he didn't expect him to suddenly mention this.
In fact, he has been married for more than half a year, and he has been in front of the Hangzhou Army for a long time in between, so isn't it normal for Zhou Mengjie to be pregnant without a sound?
"Father, isn't that still a short time? How can there be such a hurry? ā
"It's still early? It's been a few years since I've been a father, can't I report my grandson as soon as possible? Yang Xingmi said with some dissatisfaction: "Moreover, your mother has been pregnant recently, and it won't be long before you can have another brother or sister, you can't make any movement at all, right?" ā
Yang Wu's mother, Shi Shi, is not yet forty years old this year, although her age is a little older, if she is well maintained, there will be no problems with giving birth.
And in addition to Mrs. Shi, Yang Xingmi also has several concubines who are also pregnant, so that Yang Wu has to sigh that Yang Xingmi's "seeding" efficiency in recent years is really high.
However, Yang Wu is not dissatisfied with this, the Yang family has fewer heirs, and it is a good thing to increase it a little. Many of the founding emperors in history are famous seeders, such as Zhu Yuanzhang has more than 20 sons, that is, Qian Biao, who has just died, and there are thirty-five sons in history who are recorded by name, and Yang Xingmi is nothing compared to these people.
Moreover, Yang Wu has already established his inheritance status now, and these younger brothers and sisters can at most give more support, and it will not threaten his position, but they will be able to consolidate the Yang regime in the future, which is not a bad thing.
He didn't say much to Yang Xingmi on this topic, but brought up some interesting things.
At this time, a guard came in and reported that Zhao Kuangning, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, had gone to the outside of the mansion to ask for a meeting.
"Let's go, it's been idle for so long, let's meet this martyr together!" Yang Xingmi proposed.
Although he said that he wanted to retire, it didn't matter if he saw Zhao Kuangning, as long as it wasn't too tiring.
What's more, Yang Xingmi hasn't appeared in public for a while, and even if he wants to retreat, he has to give everyone an explanation.
Immediately, Yang Wu pushed the wheelchair specially made for him and went to the meeting hall.
As soon as they entered, they saw that the officials from Huainan had gathered, and everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Yang Wu pushing Yang Xingmi in, but then reacted,
"The subordinates will meet the king, and meet His Royal Highness!"
"Everyone, please get up!" Yang Xingmi nodded and smiled: "Recently, Lone has been unwell, and the prince is in charge of government affairs, and you are assisting; Everyone is doing a good job, and I am deeply grateful! ā
Yin Wengui and the others didn't dare to say anything, to be honest, although Yang Wu already had enough prestige to lead Huainan, he was still far inferior to his father in terms of prestige. Yang Xingmi just showed his face, and the officials seemed to have found the backbone.
