Chapter 204 The North and the Imperial Capital(2/3)
Xu Yuan had no scruples and said with a smile:
"Have you forgotten, back in the Jiaofang Division, you scolded me about where I came from?"
"Ahem, Chang Tian is joking."
The second prince's eyes twitched, he coughed lightly, and quickly interrupted Xu Yuan's words and changed the topic: "Father, he is still waiting for Xu Gong and you inside, don't keep him waiting for a long time."<
/p>
Xu Xiangguo was listening, and it was not a good thing to talk about.
Xu Yuan grinned when he heard the words, walked forward slowly, raised his hand, and patted the second prince's cheek under the watchful eyes of Eunuch Nie and the second prince's personal eunuch:
"Li Zhaoyuan, I still like your unruly look back then."
After saying that, Xu Yuan glanced at the second prince jokingly, patted his shoulder, and quickly followed Xu Yinhe in front with a flick of his sleeves.
"."
Eunuch Nie saw everything in his eyes, bowed silently, and then left.
The second prince still stood where he was. He was still standing until the three visiting people had disappeared from the end of his field of vision.
The personal eunuch on the side saw this scene and tentatively said:
"Your Highness, this Xu Changtian has no emperor."
The second prince glanced at his personal eunuch, who quickly fell silent.
At this time, Li Zhaoyuan touched his cheek:
"This Xu Changtian has changed"
The personal eunuch was careful: "What do you mean?"
Li Zhaoyuan smiled and put down his hand:
"The slap on the face is not asymmetrical at all. Let him hit me again next time, haha."
Having said that,
The second prince glanced meaningfully behind him and left without looking back.
Climbing up the stairs to Qingyu Pavilion, Eunuch Nie stood at the entrance of the top floor and bowed to signal:
"Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, so we won't go in."
"I'm sorry to bother you, father-in-law."
Xu Yinhe didn't reply. The one who answered was Xu Yuan, who said with a smile: "I'll ask you about food next time."
"."Eunuch Nie.
The sun is just right, the breeze is gentle, and from the top of Qingxin Pavilion, you can overlook the entire Imperial City of Emperor'an.
As soon as he entered, Xu Yuan's eyes immediately locked on an old man wearing an imperial robe.
His face is old, but he is still healthy and does not look critically ill at all.
The wind on the mountain top floated the curtains, causing the rising incense to spread throughout the room.
The old man was sitting behind the desk. There were some meals on the desk and two futons on the other side, which should be reserved for Xu Yinhe and him.
Xu Yinhe stepped forward directly, without saluting or kneeling, and sat directly on the futon on the left.
When Xu Yuan saw this scene, he guessed that he didn't need to salute.
Follow the example and just walk over and sit down.
And as soon as I sat down,
The old man opposite looked at him in a strange way.
Xu Yinhe also glanced at him at this time.
Xu Yuan's eyes were a little confused.
Xu Yinhe exhaled:
"Changtian, salute."
"."
Xu Yuan looked embarrassed and was about to stand up again when the old man opposite suddenly chuckled:
"Okay, we've already sat down, so don't be so formal. Have you two, father and son, eaten?"
"Not yet." Xu Yinhe replied.
The old man glanced outside the door:
"Come on, serve."
Xu Yinhe looked at the old man's face:
"Your complexion seems to be better this time."
The old man in royal robe glanced at Xu Yuan:
"You can't scare the juniors."
Xu Yinhe was noncommittal:
"Then you should act younger."
The old man in imperial robes picks up vegetables with chopsticks:
"If you don't believe my injury, I can let you take your pulse yourself."
Xu Yinhe's eyes narrowed.
When the old man in royal robe saw this, he waved his hand quickly:
"Hey, Xu Shengren, you don't really want to take my pulse with your look in your eyes, do you?"
Xu Yinhe had a smile in his eyes:
"You know I won't."
Xu Yuan was relieved when he heard this.
Check the pulse. If the emperor's injury is still okay, then nothing will happen. If he doesn't have much time, he will be torn apart.
Both parties know this.
The old man in imperial robes rolled his eyes at Xu Yinhe and sighed softly:
"You've always been like this when you were young. People can't tell what you're thinking.
"."
"."
Xu Yinhe and Li Yaoxuan were talking wordlessly, just like chatting between old friends.
Xu Yuan, on the other hand, couldn't say anything, so he just sat there boredly, drinking tea and thinking about things.
After Xu Yinhe reminded him, he has been thinking about this change of succession in his mind, but there are very few memories from his previous life that he can use.
In Cangyuan, the death of Emperor Jiajing in front of us was all mentioned briefly.
Because at that point in time, players were basically still fighting wits and courage with some minor characters in nooks and crannies, and could not enter this kind of inner circle battle.
Every time, it would take some time afterwards before we could learn this information from an NPC or from some notice boards on the tower.
The emperor died and the prime minister took over the power.
As for the people who ascend to the throne, there are a total of three in so many world lines.
One is the crown prince, the other is the second prince, and the other is a five-year-old child.
Let’s not mention the latter for the moment, but the first two are the two princes most likely to win the title of heir in the imperial capital.
As a player, I would not have thought deeply about the gap during this period, because the existence of the second-generation emperor was completely suppressed by the prime minister.
But now when we think about the gap during this period, it makes people shudder.
The fragmented information from the past life can be of little help to Xu Yuan at this time, but it can give a rough guess.
The presence of the royal family is low, so there is only one, and the royal family's power was purged by Xu Yinhe.
In other words, the emperor in front of him was most likely killed by his father in the plot.
Thinking further, the royal family may have played a part in the dramatic collapse of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the later stages of the Cangyuan plot.
With his thoughts at this point, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man with gray hair next to him.
But according to the attitude shown by this old man now, he would definitely not take action against the royal family unless absolutely necessary.
There should be one most critical point that forces him to do this.
"Long sky."
One guess after another kept popping up in his mind, and one after another was dismissed. Finally, Xu Yuan gave up.
To be continued...
