The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

After Xiao Yanzhi sat down, he didn't speak, but looked around curiously, looking at the emperor's study with great interest.

Seeing Xiao Yan's sizing up, the emperor asked, "What do you think of my study?"

"En..." Xiao Yanzhi replied after thinking carefully, "Father's place is not bad, but it's better to move the father's imperial case."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanzhi actually made a suggestion, and the emperor asked with interest: "Why is this? Is the position of the royal case not good?"

"It's not bad," Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile, "it's just that the sun shines in from the window behind the father. Although it's warm, it should be a little dazzling when reading the booklet."

The emperor was startled when he heard the words, and turned around to look at the window behind him, then looked at Xiao Yanzhi with some surprise, and said, "You'll know after just coming in for a while?"

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at the notebook in the emperor's hand, and said: "My son just saw it, the notebook in the emperor's hand is shining."

The emperor looked down and laughed.

"I heard that after you retired from the court, did you cause trouble?" Putting down the notebook in his hand, the emperor asked tentatively.

Xiao Yanzhi suddenly looked surprised and said, "Someone has complained to Emperor Father so soon?"

"Tell me what you did." The emperor leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Xiao Yanzhi with narrowed eyes.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth and said, "Isn't Father all aware of it?"

"I want to hear from you."

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, and said: "My son just sat too upright, and as a result, his legs became numb, and he got up later after retiring from the court, and even the elders knelt for a long time."

"Really?" It didn't look like a question, the emperor still looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a half-smile.

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yanzhi complained following the emperor's tone, "It's the first time for a minister to go to court, how can he know the rules. These adults are narrow-minded."

"That's because you have never been to a great dynasty, and there are more rules." The emperor was waiting, waiting for Xiao Yanzhi to talk about Qin Tai.

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi frowned when he heard more rules, "The emperor really worked hard."

The emperor chuckled and said, "I will work hard with you in the future. You are the prince and my eldest son."

Xiao Yanzhi widened his eyes in astonishment, and showed a disgusted expression on his face, and then seemed to think of something, and said to the emperor: "By the way, father, there is an adult and son who said that he is mother's cousin, then who is it?"

The emperor's breath was relieved, and his smile softened a lot: "Did your mother tell you?"

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said: "Really not. My son only remembered that my mother said that most of her natal relatives lived in her hometown, but most of them died in the flood that year, and the rest couldn't be contacted because of fleeing. But I’ve never heard of anyone who is an official.”

The emperor laughed and said, "He can't be considered your mother's cousin, it's just a kinship in his ancestors, and he can't even be considered a distant relative in your mother's generation."

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Is this my lord, you have been fawned on by someone since you first entered the palace?"

"Well, that's what happened." The emperor felt that his eldest son seemed to be interesting, "Then what are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at the emperor puzzled.

The emperor raised his hand and flipped the folded papers on the table at random, and moved his eyes to those folded papers, saying, "See if you want to accept that person's fawning."

Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly waved his hands, and said: "That's okay, I have been a commoner for so many years, and I am very happy to be flattered by a high official once, so I don't have to accept it. I only need to accept it when I enter the palace. In order to see the father, if the father needs the son, the son will stay in the palace, if the father does not need the son, the son will go back to the south of the Yangtze River."

Xiao Yanzhi originally thought so, if the emperor doesn't keep him, he can return to Jiangnan happily, but if the emperor keeps him, then he can't leave even if he wants to, so it's better to stay with peace of mind.

The emperor's hands stopped, and he looked up at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously: "You want to go back to Jiangnan?"

"Yes," Xiao Yanzhi smiled calmly, "Looking at how my father has arranged so much for my son, my son knows that my father has plans, and I just want to wait for a proper opportunity to discuss with my father in detail, but I didn't expect that There is an opportunity so soon.

This son-in-law is different from the other princes. The son-in-law didn't grow up beside his father, and he couldn't communicate with his father. His mother is an extremely ordinary woman. The way of ministers assisting the country, sons and ministers know that they are not enough, and dare not speak falsely to share the worries of the father. "

The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi, for a moment he couldn't tell whether Xiao Yanzhi was telling the truth or not: "Pei Ze brought someone to Jiangnan to pick you up, why did he run away?"

"This..." Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth and said, "I feel that my status is embarrassing, and I didn't want to enter the palace. Anyway, although the world is big, I can hear news from my father no matter where I am. As long as my father is safe Well, there is nothing in Chang'an City that I can worry about, and I don't need to come here, it's just...just that King Wu Cheng has been chasing after me, and I really...was thinking about it when I was in Bianzhou You might as well enter the palace with King Wucheng, but in the end you were caught by King Wucheng in Bianzhou."

"You really want to go back to Jiangnan?" The emperor frowned.

Xiao Yanzhi stared at the emperor with suspicion and flustered expression for a while, then sighed: "In this imperial palace, I'm afraid my son won't be able to live for too long by himself."

"Why are you alone? I am here, and your brothers are also here." Xiao Yanzhi's words were harsh in the emperor's ears, causing the emperor to refute unconsciously.

Xiao Yanzhi lowered his head, chuckled lightly, and said: "But those brothers are not close to the son-in-law, and the father... the father actually doesn't trust the son-in-law, right?"

When he said the last sentence, Xiao Yanzhi slowly raised his head to look at the emperor, his eyes were full of helplessness and sadness.

The emperor's heart felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and he looked back at Xiao Yanzhi blankly.

Xiao Yanzhi was right, he didn't believe it, even though Xiao Yanzhi was his eldest son, even though Xiao Yanzhi was more innocent and ignorant of power than other princes, he still didn't believe it.

After many years of fighting and three years of ruling the country, his comrades alienated him, his courtiers feared him, his son plotted against him, and even the people next to his pillow put their family above him. They were always thinking of others, they were always Wanting to get more benefits from him, their hearts are not toward him.He doesn't believe anyone.

But he doesn't want to become untrustworthy to anyone, he also wants to have a trustworthy person to talk to, to drink with him without worrying about being decapitated, to discuss world affairs without worrying about content leakage, he wants to ah.

Seeing that the emperor still couldn't get back to his senses, Xiao Yanzhi sighed again, and said, "I'm not blaming the emperor, you and I have been separated for 20 years, and there is nothing we can do about it. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this lunch." I used it with my father, my son told me..."

"Stay here." The emperor suddenly interrupted Xiao Yanzhi's words, more like a sigh than a murmur.

"Father?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at the emperor puzzled.

Leave?Do you want him to stay for this lunch, or do you want him to stay in the palace forever?

The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi kindly, and said, "Yanzhi, stay by my side and give me a chance to make up for the 20-year vacancy."

And give him someone he can trust with all his heart to lean on.If there is anyone else he can trust, the eldest son is probably the only one.

Xiao Yanzhi blinked.He seems to have inspired the emperor's fatherly love?

Recalling his rhetoric again, Xiao Yanzhi found that it was indeed easy to arouse paternal love, but he originally thought that the emperor's paternal love would not be so easily aroused.Xiao Yanzhi didn't intend to arouse the emperor's paternal love and make him feel guilty.

But since the emperor had spoken, he couldn't refuse.

So Xiao Yanzhi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, and said hello softly.

Since the emperor needs a son, he will give the emperor a son, not a "son".
