The eldest son is fierce

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

After Emperor Yanwen returned to the palace, he locked himself in the imperial study and refused to see anyone.

Although today's victory was considered a great victory, not only did we get rid of Fan Mingzhong and Yuwen Feng, two lunatics who brought disaster to the country and the people, but we also almost wiped out the Fan Party.

But when he thought of the prince, Emperor Yanwen still felt very uncomfortable. He still felt a little guilty about the prince. As Tang Yi said, it is the father's fault if the son is not well educated. If he had spent more time educating the prince, perhaps the prince would not have reached this point today.

It was because he did not have much time to educate the prince that he was led astray by those ministers.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the Zongzheng Temple that His Royal Highness Prince Hui has made arrangements." Chen Diaosi came in holding a whisk and said in a low voice.

Emperor Yanwen's hands, which were behind his back, trembled subconsciously.

King Hui was the title bestowed upon the deposed crown prince before he became the heir apparent. Now that he had been demoted to a commoner, he should not be called King Hui.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Yanwen sighed and said, "Let someone prepare! Let him... pass comfortably."

Chen Diaosi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with his head pressed to the ground, not daring to respond to Emperor Yanwen's words.

"Before leaving, let the Queen see him for the last time!"

Emperor Yanwen stood in front of the window, looking at the bright sky outside.

Sunlight streamed in from the window, but he could not feel any warmth. "After the Queen met with the Crown Prince, the imperial decree was issued to depose her and banish her to the cold palace. No one is allowed to visit her without my permission."

Chen Diaosi kowtowed heavily and said, "Yes, I will arrange it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery wishes to see you."

"Oh?"

Emperor Yanwen narrowed his eyes and said, "Let him in."

Chen Diaosi and the young eunuch retreated together. After a moment, Tang Yi walked into the hall alone.

He was holding a food box in his hand. When he saw Emperor Yanwen, he raised the food box in his hand and said, "Feeling down? How about a drink? The wine is my distilled liquor, and the dish is my Zuiyuelou's specialty."

Emperor Yanwen stared at Tang Yi for a moment and jokingly asked, "Why? Are you afraid I'll settle the score with you later, so you want to have a drink to dispel my hatred?"

Tang Yi walked to the steps opposite Emperor Yanwen and sat down, taking out dishes and a wine jug from his food box. "Don't think too much. I dared to do this, so I'm not afraid of you calling the shots later."

"When you are old and frail, and no longer wise, I will take my family and sail far away to the sea, and I will never set foot in Da Yan again in my life."

Emperor Yanwen thought about it and shook his head speechlessly, saying, "You are thinking quite far ahead."

However, this guy is capable of doing such a thing, and he also believes that one day, Tang Yi would rather take his family to the sea than go to war with him.

Dayan will dominate the world in the future, and this world was created by this guy. Would he be willing to destroy the world he created?

Emperor Yanwen walked over to Tang Yi and sat down. He raised his hand and snatched the wine glass from his hand. He said, "That day will never come. If one day you find that I am no longer so wise, then you must join forces with Xiao Di to control me immediately and drive me off the throne."

"Remember, we must fight without bloodshed. Otherwise, if bloodshed occurs, many things will be beyond our control."

Tang Yi pushed a plate of braised beef in soy sauce in front of Emperor Yanwen and glared at him, "Are you so kind? Are you really willing to step down from that supreme position?"

Emperor Yanwen drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, looked at Tang Yi and said, "No one wants this country to become strong more than I do, including you!"

He grabbed two slices of beef and put them into his mouth. After chewing them for a few times, a smile appeared on his lips. "It tastes good, much better than what we cook in the palace. I'll tell you a secret..."

"Stop!" Tang Yi raised a finger against his palm and made a stop gesture.

He interrupted Emperor Yanwen and said, "Throughout history, those who knew the emperor's secrets generally did not end well."

"I don't want to hear it, so don't tell me, or I'll have to worry about you silencing me all the time."

"Haha..." Emperor Yanwen raised his hand and pointed at the young man opposite him, saying, "If you say so, I must tell you."

"Do you know how I survived the Jingkang Incident?"

"I survived by hiding in a dog hole. There was a very thick wall. After I got in, the two young eunuchs beside me blocked the hole behind me with their lives, and the three palace maids blocked the hole in front of me with their lives."

"And from the cave entrance, I watched helplessly as the girl who had served me since childhood and grew up with me like a sister was tortured to death by the Northern Di people."

"At that time, I swore that as long as I live, I will make Dayan stronger and never let this land be trampled by the enemy again!"

Tang Yi was stunned.

He really didn't expect that Emperor Yanwen had such a story.

"So, young man, go for it!"

Emperor Yanwen poured a glass of wine and spilled it on the ground: "As long as we do what is worthy of the heroes in this world, if there are any sins, I will bear them alone."

Tang Yi immediately raised his glass and said, "I'm quite touched when you say that. Come on, let's have one."

Emperor Yanwen clinked his glasses with Tang Yi, drank the wine in his cup, and said, "Tell me the truth, why are you here with me instead of taking command?"

Tang Yi curled his lips and said, "Afraid of death."

"Afraid of death?" Emperor Yanwen was slightly stunned.

Tang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "This time, Fan Mingzhong and Yuwen Feng were directly executed. Even the Crown Prince was scared to death. Fan's party, the Crown Prince's party, the Queen, and the Northern Di spies dare not deal with you, but they dare not deal with me?"

"If I continue to stay outside, I will probably become a target for all of them. Wherever I go, there will be danger."

"So, naturally, I have to stay out of the spotlight, and what safer place is there than the Imperial Palace?"

Having said this, Tang Yi looked at Emperor Yanwen and said, "By the way, please send someone to help me bring the people at home into the palace. I always feel unsafe if they stay at the Tang family."

Emperor Yanwen felt that this guy was being too cautious and said angrily, "How rare! You also have a fear? Where is the momentum you had when you killed Yuwen Feng and destroyed Fan Mingzhong? Where is it?"

"And now the entire capital is under surveillance by the Imperial Guards and the Secret Service. If they make any unusual movements, we will be informed immediately."

Tang Yi held up his wine glass and pointed his chopsticks at Emperor Yanwen, saying, "This isn't called fear; this is called reasonable risk avoidance. And, to be honest, even though we have an absolute advantage right now, I still have a bad feeling."

"I've reviewed everything, but I can't find the root cause of this bad feeling. However, this bad feeling is very strong."

"So, just to be on the safe side, I plan to disappear for two days and see which way the wind blows. During these two days, I'll go to the Craftsman's Supervisory Office to see how far I've progressed with my Grandmaster's Ultimate Weapon."

"Without the Grandmaster's ultimate weapon, I always feel insecure!"

Emperor Yanwen stared at him and said, "If you don't feel safe, then I would have died long ago, right?"
