When the courtiers saw the prince come out, they all looked at the prince's face, but they didn't see anything from Yan Echo's face.

Yan echo was always happy and angry in front of the courtiers, so that the courtiers couldn't guess what they were thinking. Therefore, the courtiers just asked Yan Huisheng to hurry up to the hall to discuss the countermeasures against Zhang Ping's rebellion.

This is a major matter related to the society of the Great Liang River, and it is also a major matter that affects the lives of all people.

Yan echo rarely saw that the courtiers were in a hurry, so he followed everyone to the council hall.

There were still two brushes at the head of the Imperial Hospital, and as he said, the emperor woke up in the evening.

After the emperor woke up, he looked at the dim palace, and the empress, who was sitting in front of the bed and didn't know what to think, called out the empress's name.

The queen hurriedly helped the emperor up, and the palace maids and eunuchs surrounded him and waited for the emperor to drink water and take medicine.

After a busy day, the emperor finally had some strength, lay on the bed on the pillow, and asked the queen, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"It's not long, you've fallen asleep this morning, and it's going to be evening." Queen's Road.

The emperor thought that he had been asleep for nearly a day, and the time was actually long, but it was indeed shorter than the last time, because he remembered the major event of Zhang Ping's rebellion, and even if he was unconscious, his heart was uneasy, so he woke up.

He asked, "What about the prince?" ”

"The prince has been guarding you for most of the hour, and then he was urged by the courtiers to discuss matters." The queen sighed, "It is said that I didn't have lunch at noon, and I'm afraid I'm still in the council hall now." ”

The emperor nodded, "Send someone to call the crown prince." ”

The queen bowed her head and ordered someone to call the prince quickly.

After a little eunuch went to find the crown prince, the emperor asked the empress with a pale face, "You say, what I, the emperor, did not fail very much?" ”

Although the queen felt that the emperor had indeed failed in her heart, she looked at the emperor's pale face, but she didn't want to aggravate the discomfort in his heart, after all, she didn't want the emperor to die early now, anyway, his son's position was stable.

So, she shook her head, "Your Majesty, don't think too much, the imperial doctor said that you should take care of yourself." ”

The emperor was very persistent, "What do I ask you?" ”

The queen shook her head, "Your Majesty also has successes, and the crown prince has never let you down." ”

The Emperor looked at her, "I can feel that you are saying this from the heart. He nodded admittedly, "Yes, the son you gave birth to, I have made him the crown prince since I was a child, and over the years, although there has been suppression, I have never thought of abolishing it, and it is indeed a success in him." ”

He said, coughing, "I am stubborn and self-serving, I love power, I don't know people clearly, I am ashamed of the dying instructions of the emperor, I am not a good emperor." ”

The queen thought to herself, how many people don't admit that they are wrong all their lives, especially as an emperor, there have been countless faint kings since ancient times, but the emperor in front of her can be regarded as meritorious, and people have not yet reached the limit, and they have already realized that they are wrong. And every word.

The Emperor added, "I am not a good father. ”

The queen didn't know what to do, so she listened to the emperor talk to herself, perhaps, he didn't want her to agree, he just wanted to talk to her, she just listened.

Yan echoed quickly, and after he arrived, the queen went out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, avoiding letting the father and son talk.

Yan Huisheng stood in front of the bed, looked at the emperor, and felt that he seemed to be dying old in one day.

The emperor also looked at Yan Echo, he often looked at his son recently, and he was also trying his best to repair the relationship between father and son, putting aside the imperial power, he looked at his most outstanding son, and felt both relieved and emotional, and even felt that his temper was much bigger than before, and often said hard words to anger him, which made him faintly annoyed within the range of what he could bear. But he can tolerate it, if it is left behind, these are absolutely impossible.

He didn't speak, he reached into his arms, his hands were a little weak, and he looked a little trembling, only to see him touch in his arms for a long time, took out a tiger talisman, and handed it to him, "This is the tiger talisman of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Battalion, I am now handed over to you, you look at the troop transfer!" ”

Yan echoed and didn't answer, "Father really gave it to his son?" ”

He and the emperor knew each other in their hearts that the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jinglu were held by the emperor very tightly, this was his power to protect his life as an emperor, how much he valued the imperial power in his hands, their father and son knew each other, otherwise there would be no emperor who was afraid of how powerful and prestigious the crown prince was, and was afraid to suppress him, and supported Yanli Yanlin to compete with him.

After so many years of detours, I didn't expect that I would be about to give up power to him so soon.

"I don't want to be alive, so I will die in the country, and I don't want to be under the Nine Springs, shameless to see your imperial grandfather. Now that I know how outrageous the mistake is, I naturally have to hurry up and save it. I can't help it anymore with this body now, I can't toss it, and I know that I don't have the strength to do it. The emperor took Yan Echo's hand and stuffed the tiger talisman into his hand, "Fortunately, I still have you, I can clean up this mess for me, as a king, I have done many wrong things, as a father, I have also done many wrong things, I can't help you, I can't go on wrong." ”

Yan Huisheng grabbed the tiger talisman, his eyes calm, "Naturally, my father trusts my son, and my son will never let my father down." ”

"I know." The emperor withdrew his hand, and seemed to be a little nostalgic for the temperature of the tiger talisman, after all, he carried it with him day and night, and did not leave his body every day for many years.

He put his hand on the futon and wiped it, as if he wanted to wipe away his nostalgia for the tiger talisman, "I heard your queen mother say that on this day, you and the courtiers are in the council hall?" Regarding Zhang Ping's rebellion, is there a way to deal with it? ”

Yan echoed: "The treasury is not abundant, the grain and grass are not abundant, and all the troops of the imperial court are combined, which is comparable to the strength of northern Hebei." But fortunately, because of the relationship between his cousin Su Rong, he was afraid that Dawei would attack, so as early as a month ago, he had asked the household department to start thinking of ways to enrich the treasury, and the current treasury could still cope with the military salary in March, so it was necessary to quell the rebellion against Zhang Ping within March. Zhou Che and Zhou Shen each took 100,000 soldiers and horses to Nanping, so that Nanping had Zhou Gu and Su Rong here, and they should be able to defend it. As for the soldiers and horses of the Zhang family on the second road in Longxi County, I am afraid that Zhang Ping personally led the troops, and the ministers discussed with the courtiers and planned to bring 150,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Zhang Ping in person. Jinglu sent 50,000 soldiers and horses, plus the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Protector's Mansion. ”

The emperor's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "You want to go out of Beijing in person?" No way! ”

"Father and emperor rest assured, sons and ministers ......"

"Nope." The emperor said categorically: "You have to stay in the capital, what about Zhou Wei of the Protector's Mansion?" Let him go. ”

He didn't wait for Yan to echo before he spoke, and said, "The courtiers agree to let you go?" Even if they agreed, I wouldn't agree. ”

Yan echoed silently, and the courtiers naturally agreed with him to go, and when they heard him say that they wanted to go in person, they were also the same as the emperor, so they panicked all of a sudden and resolutely opposed.
