The mother-in-law really wanted to cultivate his relationship with the Yin family, but unfortunately, those feelings were contrary to the way of the emperor.

And he, since elementary school, is the way of the emperor...

The father did not ask him to destroy the Yin family, but only asked him to suppress and clean up some people. In fact, he was already showing mercy to him.

So, what leeway does he have for bargaining?

A hint of relief flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes.

Looking at King Anyang's eyes is much better than before.

"The second condition. The promotion of the classics of arithmetic." Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes.

The King of Anyang looked surprised.

"The Book of Arithmetic is more valuable than you think. The head of Anyang County is not an ordinary person." Emperor Yan continued.

"You already know the relationship between the national teacher and Anyang, right?" Although it was a question, his tone was somewhat affirmative.

The King of Anyang was taken aback.

"Yeah." After a while, he responded.

Emperor Yan finally opened his eyes again, and the corner of his mouth raised an arc.

"Sure enough..." Then, he said with a sigh.

Yes, he had guessed it.

As I guessed, the fact that he became addicted to the Huiguang Pill may also have something to do with the national teacher.

What's more, all this was planned by the national teacher.

But guess what?

Investigate the guilt of the national teacher and kill him?

Up to now, even killing the national teacher will not help. Couldn't change the fact that he was dying.

On the contrary, at this time, Dayan could not be separated from the national teacher at all.

Hehe, Dayan can be without his emperor, but he can't be without a national teacher...

Not only can he not attack the national teacher now, but he has to protect him.

Because the national teacher betrayed him, but not Dayan.

He let his eldest son go to Beijing, in fact, because of the national teacher.

When the national teacher chose the eldest son, Dayan chose the eldest son.

King Anyang was inexplicable and could not understand what Emperor Yan meant.

"Back then, I was the one who was the first to apologize to the national teacher. Later, when the national teacher left the palace, I was deceived by the traitor and did many wrong things." Emperor Yan continued.

As if to excuse what Liu Wuji did to him, as if to convince himself again.

"Now, I'll be repaying the debt."

After Yan Di finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Seeing King Anyang's puzzled expression, Emperor Yan explained: "In those days, the old national teacher passed away, and the national teacher first took over as the national teacher."

"In order for the national teacher to stay at ease, I sent someone to kill the wife of the national teacher."

As soon as these words came out, King Anyang looked shocked.

"Unfortunately, the people who handled the affairs were not neat enough, and two fish that slipped through the net were missed."

"One is the maid of the national teacher's wife, and the other is the daughter of the national teacher."

"Actually, if they don't show up again, the matter will pass."

"But they appeared in front of the national teacher, and they also recognized the national teacher."

"I can only do it again—"

King Anyang's heart trembled.

Does the National Teacher know about these?

Certainly know.

Otherwise, how could Master National Teacher——

Yes, he also knew that the matter of Huiguangdan had something to do with Master Guo Shi.

What's more, the later poison, although her mother instructed Yucai to do it, has the influence of the national teacher behind it.

Emperor Yan looked at King Anyang again and saw the change in his expression, "cough-cough-" coughed weakly twice.

"I'm not saying this to make you hate the national teacher. On the contrary, I want to tell you. I don't blame him."

Emperor Yan smiled weakly.

"The national teacher is dedicated to the country. Over the years, although he knew that he was his enemy, he did not take action against him because of his identity. It is enough to see the loyalty of the national teacher to Dayan."

If he hadn't managed Dayan more and more chaotically, and even attracted Chu and Jin to join forces to attack Yan, the National Teacher would not have changed his mind.

At this time, it happened that his granddaughter appeared in front of him again, and the national teacher made up his mind to do it.

Having figured this out, he really doesn't resent the National Teacher very much now.

King Anyang was surprised.

It was the first time I saw his father being so tolerant towards a person.

"As soon as I die, the grievances between me and the national teacher can be settled. But I still owe Anyang."

"That girl may be as talented as her grandfather. It's just a pity... she's a woman."

Emperor Yan sighed again.

"Sometimes, I will think. That girl, if she can grow up in a stable environment and receive more careful guidance and cultivation from the national teacher, maybe she will grow up to be better than the national teacher."

King Anyang nodded, agreeing with Emperor Yan's point of view.

Lin Dongjia's ideology and knowledge are all extraordinary, and he has given him a lot of advice and help.

"The Book of Arithmetic is the girl's hard work, and it is also a peace charm that the national teacher asked for that girl. I have already agreed before."

"Besides, this book is of great help to Dayan and even the whole world."

"I am also selfish, and I want to take the opportunity to leave a good reputation in the history of youth."

Emperor Yan suddenly stretched out his hand—

Upon seeing this, King Anyang glanced at Mrs. Zhang, then stepped forward and held Emperor Yan's hand.

"I estimate that I can earn this reputation."

King Anyang felt Emperor Yan's strength and understood Emperor Yan's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Majesty's Book of Arithmetic was compiled and promoted by His Majesty's order. Three years later, the son-in-law will also order that the content of the Mathematical Sutra be included in the imperial examinations. The world will not forget His Majesty's achievements." So he said.

Only then did Emperor Yan calm down a lot and put his hand back.

King Anyang took good care of him and did not dare to walk away.

"Third." Emperor Yan suddenly said. But just said two words, but stopped.

The King of Anyang did not wait for the following, and looked at Emperor Yan.

However, he found that Emperor Yan was looking at Mrs. Zhang next to him.

"Third, I still want to see Concubine Shu." As if looking at another person through Mrs. Zhang.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang's and Anyang King's expressions changed.

King Anyang was fine, and his expression soon returned to normal.

Zhang Shi was already kneeling on the ground.

Emperor Yan turned his head slightly and looked at King Anyang.

"I have already found out that it was your mother-in-law who helped Concubine Shu escape from the palace."

The expression of King Anyang changed.

"Now, Concubine Shu is in your hands." Emperor Yan said affirmatively.

Anyang King's face turned pale.

Seeing Emperor Yan staring at him without blinking, he hesitated for a while, and then nodded.

When Emperor Yan saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't care why you took Concubine Shu, I just hope that I can see her again before I die."

At this point, what else is there to guess?

The adopted son of Nangong Zhan, no, maybe his biological son, should not have died. And he also took refuge in his eldest son.

More likely, he and Concubine Shu's son didn't die either.

Qinger... Thinking of that well-behaved and sensible child, he also misses him a little.

Thinking that the child might still be alive, and that there is still such a layer of ties between himself and Concubine Shu, he suddenly felt a little more joyful in his heart.

He found that although he was about to die, he seemed to be at ease now.

You don't need to think about the overall situation, you don't need to think of yourself as an emperor.

He can treat himself like an ordinary person.

Like ordinary people, have their own emotions, and act according to their own preferences.

At this moment, he was even thinking.

If he had seen all of this earlier, he would have handed over the throne.

Is it possible that he can accompany his beloved and spend a lifetime with Meimei?

King Anyang frowned and didn't answer.

Concubine Shu had a special status, and without Li Xiao's permission, he could not arrange for someone to come to Beijing to meet the father.

Moreover, Concubine Shu herself did not necessarily want to see her father.

Emperor Yan looked at King Anyang expectantly, hoping that his son would agree to his last condition.

But seeing his son's silence, the hope on Emperor Yan's face gradually dimmed.

"On this matter, I have to ask Concubine Shu's wishes." Seeing Emperor Yan's expression, King Anyang couldn't bear it, and saluted to Emperor Yan.

Asking Concubine Shu was one thing, and he also had to discuss it with Li Xiao.

After all, the Chiwu Army is his biggest reliance right now.

Emperor Yan glanced at King Anyang, then withdrew his gaze and lay back again.

"Okay. Then you can help me ask her opinion. Just say—"

"Invite her to see me for the last time for the sake of the long-term relationship between husband and wife." Emperor Yan said.

At this time, there is still the appearance of an emperor, just an old man who is about to die.

"Yes." King Anyang replied. I suddenly felt a little sad in my heart.

Is this the emperor?

He will become an emperor in the future, and will he be full of regret and remorse like his father in the end...

Emperor Yan suddenly raised his hand and waved weakly at King Anyang.

"Go out."

"Remember to do what I have arranged. I will hold on until Concubine Shu comes back."

"When I see Concubine Shu, I will give you what you want."

The King of Anyang surrendered.

"Yes."

Immediately withdrew from the Shuanghua Palace.

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a little eunuch in the imperial concubine's bedroom.

"My lord, the noble concubine has an invitation." The little eunuch saluted.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, King Anyang said, "Lead the way."

Immediately, he followed the little eunuch to the imperial concubine's bedroom.

When they got there, the eunuch shouted that King Anyang had arrived, and the imperial concubine brought a few palace servants to greet him.

"I heard that the emperor announced that you are going to serve medical services. Son! Are you alright?" Grabbing King Anyang's hand, the concubine looked nervous.

Anyang King's heart warmed, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"It's okay." Said, and walked into the palace with the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty, why did he announce you?" the imperial concubine asked again.

She has been married to the emperor for many years and knows how ruthless and vicious he is.

Today, the son failed to be crowned prince in the previous dynasty, but instead was arranged by him to serve the disease.

She was afraid that the emperor had already found something and wanted to take the opportunity to attack her son.

Fortunately, my son came out well.

The King of Anyang looked at the imperial concubine.

He didn't answer immediately, but brought the imperial concubine back to the palace and placed her on a chair.

After that, he sat down on the chair beside her.

Immediately, he looked at the palace people who followed.

"Go down." Shen said.

After the workers left, the King of Anyang looked at his concubine with a worried look.

Reached out and grabbed the imperial concubine's hand.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law."

"Royal father just wants to receive my filial piety, and has no other intentions."

The Queen's face was full of disbelief.

"He? Want to receive your filial piety?"

"Come on, I might believe it if you put it on someone else." He pulled his hand back.

"Say, what did the emperor tell you when he saw you alone? What is his plan now?" The imperial concubine looked straight at King Anyang.

At the same time, his hand squeezed unconsciously.

I was afraid that what I had done had already been known by Emperor Yan.

And Emperor Yan had already prepared the big move, ready to clean up their mother and son.

The King of Anyang looked at his mother concubine, stretched out his hands and squeezed the two arms of the imperial concubine.

"It's all right."

After hesitating for a moment, he immediately told the imperial concubine about the situation.

"Royal father has promised to make Erchen the crown prince. However, three conditions have been put forward."

The princess was surprised.

"W-what conditions?" There was some surprise in my heart.

King Anyang hesitated again, and then looked straight at his mother-in-law.

"Does the concubine really want Erchen to take that position?" asked.

His mother and concubine have different feelings. Maybe, there is an element of use, but he can feel the feelings of his mother and concubine for him.

The concubine was stunned.

Immediately nod.

Looks a little weird.

What is your son asking? Of course she thought about it, otherwise, she wouldn't have to plan carefully for him after so many years.

"Then what if—at the expense of the Yin family?" King Anyang stared straight at the imperial concubine, unwilling to miss the slightest reaction from her.

The concubine's eyes were startled, and she let go of King Anyang subconsciously.

Immediately, he quickly came back to his senses.

"Emperor, what does this mean?" There was a sense of panic in his chest.

The King of Anyang had a panoramic view of the imperial concubine's reaction, and sighed in his heart that some of his father's speculations were indeed true.

"If so, let the concubine choose between the son and the Yin family. Will the mother choose the son?" King Anyang did not answer the concubine's words, but asked.

The imperial concubine's complexion changed again, the blood disappeared, and even a little pale.

Pushing away King Anyang's arm, he supported his head with one hand and leaned on the table beside him.

At this time, King Anyang did not step forward to care about the imperial concubine, but still looked at her, waiting for the answer.

After a long while, the imperial concubine finally put down her arm and turned her head.

"Do you have to choose?" He stared at King Anyang and asked.

"Yeah." King Anyang nodded firmly.

"Choose you." Then, the imperial concubine said quickly. The voice was heavy, but extraordinarily firm.

Anyang King's eyes flashed.

Immediately supported the imperial concubine.

"Mother concubine—" There was excitement and joy in her tone.

The imperial concubine sat up again, stretched out her hand and waved the arm of King Anyang to support her.

"Your father, what did you tell you?" Immediately, he asked King Anyang.

King Anyang also put away the smile on his face and told the truth.

"My father promised to pass it on to me, but I was worried that my son would be held hostage by foreign relatives after he succeeded to the throne."

The King of Anyang looked carefully at his mother-in-law and saw that his mother-in-law did not respond, so he continued: "The father and the emperor asked the son and minister to agree to suppress and clean up some of the Yin family's forces after taking the throne."

Seeing that the imperial concubine was about to speak, King Anyang quickly said again: "In addition, about the mother-in-law. The emperor asked his sons and ministers to obey the mother-in-law as the empress dowager. The father and the emperor did not intend to deal with the mother-in-law."

The imperial concubine turned her head to look at King Anyang, and immediately sighed.

"Just like that?" asked.

"Well, that's all." King Anyang responded quickly.

The princess finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then do what your father wants. He may not be a good father, but he wants to be a good emperor." Although he didn't do much well.

The King of Anyang looked happy.

"Yes!" He hurriedly bowed to the imperial concubine.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he would definitely be different from his father in the future.
