Chapter 103: King Yu
Chapter 103: King Yu
After three years, the man who was full of energy back then has begun to become old.
Xu Yan knew very well that he had a dark disease, and he could even say that his life was short, but only when he really saw the old man now, did he know how serious this situation was.
For this father who dotes on himself and doesn't say anything to himself but absolutely likes it, Xu Yan has a lot of feelings with him, and many times, they don't look like royal fathers and sons at all, but like ordinary fathers and sons.
You can talk about confidants, or you can be big or small, of course, these are all in the absence of outsiders, and what does his father's doting on him come from, Xu Yan doesn't know, I'm afraid, it has something to do with the mother who he hasn't seen before, but it's a palace taboo, right?
Xu Ran has not heard of his mother once in this deep palace since he was a child, and it is rumored that it is the strict order given by the father in front of him, he was not sensible when he was a child, Xu Yan asked a few times, but every time, he was glared back by his father with a very stern expression, so that he still doesn't know where his mother's title is.
Although the Heart Nourishing Hall is called the Heart Nourishing Palace, it does not have the slightest function of nourishing the heart.
This is a stronghold for the emperor to deal with government affairs, and as the emperor of Great Qin, my father has hardly been out of the gate in the past few years, and most of the time every day is spent in this palace of heart cultivation.
Seeing his son coming, the emperor also put down the imperial pen in his hand, looked at his son in front of him with a slight smile, waved his hand, and the ministers and eunuchs and guards of the entire Yangxin Palace began to retreat one by one.
This is the time for the father and son to talk to their hearts, even the most powerful characters in this Heart Cultivation Hall will inevitably avoid it.
Didn't he see Gonggong Wei and other pillars all smile and retreat, although, he had already guessed what the father and son would be talking about.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for three years, it's dark, it's strong, it's tall. β
"It's a lot more mature than when I left. Qin Tianzi showed a love that had not been shown for a long time, and for him, among the several sons, only the sixth prince and this kid could make him, the king of the country, have no scruples.
Of course, the eldest prince who is now in Shangguo is one, but unfortunately, the eldest prince who has been away all the year round has not returned to this Great Qin for decades.
"Isn't this because of your old order? Originally, you only had to go to the ordinary military camp, but you just mentioned it and sent your son to the barren land in the Western Regions, it's no wonder if it's not dark. β
"Thinking about me back then, I was also a beautiful man, but unfortunately, now I can only pretend to be a man. Xu Yan was quite 'dissatisfied' and joked.
However, the harvest of this trip to the Western Regions is huge, and it is also an indisputable fact that he has grown up completely.
"Yes, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, your temperament has not changed, it means that you are still the seventh child back then. Qin Tianzi was not the slightest bit annoyed, but was very relieved.
Since Xu Yan came, his biggest worry was that this son had become so addicted to success and fame that he had begun to ignore his own nature.
If this is the case, in Qin Tianzi's opinion, even if he inherits his mantle in the future, it will be worth the loss, the reason why he dotes on his son, perhaps, his mother is indeed a very important factor, but what is more important is the son's handsome character, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth.
This character is not the same as that of myself back then? There is no love for no reason, and there is no partiality for no reason.
Nowadays, among these princes, which one is not his emperor's own biological son? But this bowl of water is uneven, if there is no reason for it, no one wants to believe it, okay?
"I know everything you have in the Western Regions, let's say, what do you want?" The old man is not selling Guanzi, and this time he saw his son, but he was not reminiscing.
And he still has a lot of important things to deal with after that, so naturally he can't delay it for too long, the only thing he wants to know is what his son wants.
It is also possible to make up for the debt of his suffering outside in the past three years, of course, this matter actually has nothing to do with him, the emperor, but the ancestral rule, but who let this be his favorite son?
"If I say that I want your position as heir, can you still agree directly?" Xu Yan chuckled, not caring at all that this person sitting on the dragon chair was the first emperor of the Great Qin.
In his eyes, although this is the first emperor of the ages, the real killing is decisive, and there are not many people who have died in his hands, but in his eyes, this is still his father, who loved himself so much when he was a child, that he even had to compensate his father for not spending much time.
"If you really want to take it from me, what's the harm to you?" It's just that the next domineering sentence from the old man stunned Xu Yan's whole person.
He knew very well that the battle for the heir had always been the foundation of the real Great Qin, but for a completely powerful county king, it was not impossible for this so-called ancestral system to be subverted.
It can even be said that such a thing would never dare to be touched if it was replaced by an ordinary emperor, but if it was replaced by such an emperor through the ages, there would certainly be some opposition, but there would never be any real problems.
Because, he is now the existence with the highest authority in the entire Great Qin, even if it was the sect that was used to check and balance the imperial power before, now he would never dare to go against Qin Tianzi.
If any of the previous emperors of Great Qin said this, Xu Yan might have laughed at it, but as his father, he knew very well that if he really nodded, his father would definitely carry it out without hesitation.
And now the position under his ass must be in his bag.
It's a pity that, as he said, Xu Yan would never accept such a gift, not because of the rent, nor because he was afraid that his father would be under pressure because of this matter.
Instead, he wants to hone himself, and he wants to grow into a real emperor in this battle for succession.
If there is really a brother who is better and better than himself, for the sake of Daqin, he will definitely not want that position, the reason why he wants to fight is firstly for self-preservation, and second, it is more for Daqin.
If there really is a brother who can convince himself, then what can he do if he doesn't want that position? Could it be that with his current ability, in the battle for the succession, he can't show enough ability to protect himself?
As long as it is really revealed, even if he really does not do this position, he will not be as aggrieved as in his previous life, and it is not impossible to be a so-called free prince.
"Haha, haha! I knew you would say that, if I gave it, you really wanted it, and it wouldn't be you. Qin Tianzi laughed, he still knew his son very well.
There is an unimaginable arrogance in his bones, since he is already planning to fight, even if others give it, he doesn't want it, and what he earns is what he will cherish.
Xu Yan smiled undeniably, for this, if his father can't see through it, then he won't be his father.
For him, the things he earns are naturally much more important than the things he can get at his fingertips, and only when that is true will he seek change and really carry out his plans.
In the same way, he has a lot of confidence in himself, if he doesn't even have this confidence, how can he want to do that position? You know, if you really do that position, it means giving up a lot of things.
At least, personal feelings, everything must be conducive to the prosperity of Daqin, even if you really like someone and want to make friends with them, the first thing you need to consider is still Daqin.
It can be said that it is completely contrary to his own unrestrainedness, but when he thinks that all this is for himself to be truly unrestrained, he is in a better mood again.
Anyway, that's the only way he can really understand the truth of this, and now, when the old man looks at his expression, he seems to have seen through this, naturally, he doesn't have to think about other things.
"Say, what do you want?" Okay, the old man didn't bother to joke with his son, anyway, now that Xu Yan has returned to Beijing, he will definitely not go out for a while.
If I have time, there are countless opportunities to communicate with her, and I am not in a hurry.
As a once-in-a-lifetime experience, Qin Tianzi has always been able to distinguish between public and private.
If the son had not yet shown such talent and talent, even if he really wanted to give him the position of heir, he would definitely not have done it.
Because, in the eyes of Qin Tianzi, nothing is as important as Da Qinlai, even if his son is uncomfortable, he can only guarantee that his son will live a luxurious life, but on the contrary, his favorite son has shown his ability to be a hero.
In such a situation, if Xu Yan really wanted to get that position from himself, he would naturally implement it without hesitation.
In his words, even if his son is good, his favorite son wants it, and he is not inferior to them, so why not give his favorite son to him? People, they all have preferences, even if it is an emperor like Qin Tianzi.
"There really is one! I want to go to the Tiangong Pavilion to get an errand, of course, it's only a nominal errand. Xu Yan thought for a moment and said directly.
If you want to say where the most elite gathering place of the people of Great Qin is, officially, it is also the Hanlin Academy, the Star Academy and the Tiangong Pavilion.
In these three places, there are countless talents, and even most of the pillar-level ministers are from these three positions.
The Hanlin Academy is a holy place for civil officials, and the Starry Sky Academy is a holy place for military officials, and the number of people staring at them is so great that even if Xu Yan wants to enter, it is too attention-grabbing.
But it has always been mysterious, but the inconspicuous Tiangong Pavilion is completely different, even if his brothers have someone to break into, but if you want to go deeper, it is a very difficult and difficult thing.
Because the Tiangong Pavilion is generally only responsible for the emperor, it is a new department created by the emperor when he ascended the throne, if he can enter it, not to mention controlling the Tiangong Pavilion, it will be very valuable for him to make a little use of the resources in it.
You must know that the resources here are the places where the entire Great Qin is now consumed the most.
Whether it is the production of magic weapons or the production of pills, or even all strange things, they are all produced by Tiangong Pavilion.
Even if you don't get the resources, it will be very valuable to be able to figure out the technical means of many things in this Heavenly Pavilion.
For Xu Yan now, it can be said to be extremely important.
You must know that after he was reborn in this world, what he wanted to figure out most was the flying boat produced by Tiangong Pavilion, and it was incredible that such things could be built the size of a city.
Of course, this thing is also one of the most proud masterpieces of Tiangong Pavilion in recent years, and it is rumored that the resources consumed are massive, and it is simply immeasurable.
"Tiangong Pavilion, you kid has a good idea. The old man smiled and said, without the slightest feeling of anger.
Of course, he has never been much angry with his seventh son, unless this guy is idle and has nothing to do and is in trouble.
You must know that in the previous life, the old man was so angry, but he didn't suffer less, but unfortunately, it was the previous life.
Although Xu Yan can't help but talk to the old man sometimes, at least, there is still that filial piety.
It's not going to make the old man angry to death, right?
"Hehe, now that you're back, you still have to do something before the battle in many places starts?" Xu Yan said with a smile.
Indeed, if you really say it, you will suffer a relatively young loss, and now the eldest son of the Great Qin Tianzi is in his thirties, even if he is the third, he is in his twenties.
I have been operating in this capital for almost ten years, and if I want to compete with them, I must catch up.
Otherwise, no matter how capable he is, it will be completely useless, right? Besides, his brothers don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and if they really fight, he himself is not sure that he will be able to get that position.
In such a situation, if you don't speed up the pace, you can only end up being eliminated.
He is not as indifferent as the sixth brother, even if he gets this place, he will not take any action at all, and even the battle for the heir will not even participate, men, after all, he still has some ambitions.
"Okay, I promise you, boy! Wait for the holy decree! In the south of the capital, there is a courtyard of the former king of Zhennan, and that will be your future palace! Go back and deal with it well, give you three months, and after three months, take office. "The old man himself is also a vigorous and resolute person.
Because he has always been very concerned about this son, before he came back, the palace had already thought about it for him, and they all began to renovate.
This kind of treatment, even his sixth brother didn't have it when he came out of the cabinet that year.
It can be seen that the emperor's love for his son, especially after seeing him really grow up, is even more heartily happy and proud.
None of his sons are really gentlemen who only know how to enjoy themselves, even if he hopes that they can be naΓ―ve, if he says that he has no pride in his heart, it is completely impossible.
"The minister took his leave. Xu Yan knew that the old man must be very busy during this time, and there was still an explanation for the affairs of the Western Regions.
Therefore, I don't want to bother too much, and I want to see my own palace.
Then he got up and took his leave, and for him, the palace, which itself is a place where he can come and go at will, will not be reluctant at all.
Seongnam!
The courtyard left by King Zhennan had long been vacant, and even the renovation had been done very well.
In this place where every inch of land in the capital is valuable, it occupies more than 100 acres, which shows how majestic and solemn such a huge palace is.
Just when Xu Yan arrived at the door, the internal officials who had been waiting here hurriedly stepped forward.
He yelled in that sharp voice: "The Seventh Prince Xu Yan takes the order." β
Xu Yan hurriedly knelt down, only to hear the eunuch start to read the holy decree very seriously.
"Now the prince is out of the cabinet as an adult, open up the palace, hereby seal the seventh prince Xu Yan as the king of the seven crowns, fief Yulin County, build the palace of the king, after a month to seal the king's palace, Qin this. β
It's a few simple words, but it contains a compelling message.
The king of the seven crowns, built the royal mansion, and the fief Yulin County.
Either one illustrates the great favor of the emperor.
You know, Yulin County, this is a very remarkable county.
Located in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River, the annual tax revenue can be described as a huge amount, and among them, although sixty percent of the tax has to be handed over to the national treasury, but forty percent of the tax revenue of the entire county is obtained by him, the new king of Yu.
The strength of the fief can indirectly show the strength of a prince.
If you are given a fief with no oil and water at all, it is very likely that you will have to put money in it as a prince, but if the fief is strong, then it will be the object of jealousy of all brothers.
Now, all of a sudden, he seems to have become the target of his brothers.
Xu Yan, who was really ling, smiled a little bitterly, and he didn't know if it was a favor or a temper.
There is also the word Yu Wang, which represents the old man's expectations for Xu Yan.
At least, in Xu Yan's heart, as long as he is not a king with a fief as a prefix, this has already shown great grace.
"The old man has a good calculation! Directly push me out among the many princes to attract firepower, if I can't bear it, I'm afraid, this position will be out of my fate. Xu Yan said helplessly in his heart,
But there was nothing to be done.
After all, this is also the old man's expectation.
