The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1237 Xiao Xiang
"No, you two... are really bold!" An Yu was stunned for the first time in the nursing home of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

He now wanted to slap himself half an hour ago!

You have nothing to do! Why don't you just do something else? Why do you have to come here?
He stood up, patted the hem of his robe, clasped his fists towards the old Duke of Anguo and the people in the old Duke of Anguo's mansion, and said, "I shouldn't have come in the first place. From now on, don't think about me no matter what happens. I can't stand it!"

"Stop!" Seeing him about to leave, the old Anguo Duke's wife Ning couldn't help but scold him. She stared at An Yu with a look of disappointment and said angrily, "Who are we doing this for? The family and the clan are ready to contribute manpower and effort, why are you, the biggest beneficiary, unwilling to appreciate it!"

"It's not that I don't appreciate it, it's that I really don't have the ability to take on such a big pie! You two should look for someone else!" An Yu shook his sleeves and raised his legs to run, but unexpectedly, a teacup fell outside the door faster than him.

"What's your attitude? Even if you have other ideas, even if you don't agree, you should at least listen to our ideas, right?!" The old lady of the Duke of Anguo slammed the table and said angrily, "You are our grandson after all. It's not easy to meet each other, so you talk to the elders like this? Even if we have to part on bad terms, you have to let us make things clear!"

"What else is there to say? What is there to say? Do you really have to let me tell you that you are old and confused?!" An Yu also got angry. He turned his head with a smile and opened his mouth to make the old Duke An and his wife fall backwards in anger.

"Asshole! What's your attitude?" The old Duke of Anguo, who had been letting his wife do whatever she wanted, couldn't help it now. He pointed at An Yu and cursed, "You ungrateful evildoer!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I don't know what's good for me, okay?!" An Yu exaggeratedly bowed to them, "Please forgive me! I really can't do such a foolish thing!"

"How can it be called wishful thinking! This is clearly based on reason!" The old wife of the Duke of Anguo stood up with the help of her peach cane and stomped on the cane hard.

"Oh my goodness! How can this be justified?"

An Yu rubbed his forehead and looked at them with a smile: "Throughout the dynasties, some chose adopted sons to inherit the throne, and some chose adopted sons to inherit the throne. Even the former Yan and Chen dynasties chose the royal relatives to be entrusted with the country. I have never heard of any relatives of the Eight Route Army legitimately eyeing the throne. If they really succeeded, it would be called usurpation of the throne!"

"What do you mean by usurping the throne? What do you mean by being a relative? Your aunt was married to the late emperor by order of Emperor Chengyuan. As soon as the late emperor ascended the throne, he made her a noble concubine. The current emperor also posthumously conferred her the title of Imperial Noble Consort. You are her nephew, and you have been raised by the late emperor since childhood. The late emperor treated you better than his own son! If you look closely, you and the current emperor are cousins, not relatives!"

"My uncle treats me like his own son or nephew, and the current emperor treats me as a cousin... This is true, but to be honest, I am not a descendant of the Chu Jiang family, and I have no relationship with the emperor's maternal grandfather, the Xie family. Haha, how shameless do I have to be, relying on the friendship they have for me, and not treating me as an outsider!"

An Yu pointed outside the courtyard of the Duke of Anguo's mansion and shouted angrily: "Not to mention that the Crown Princess will be found sooner or later, even if the time comes to choose another crown prince, I, a descendant of the An family, will not covet the jade seal of the Chu Jiang family!"

When he got excited, the anger in his eyes was like a whirlpool of a hurricane, roaring and ready to rush out.

The old Anguogong's wife, Ning, was startled by the anger in his eyes. For a moment, she was speechless. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry. She turned her head to look at her husband, stomping on her cane with an angry face: "Old Master!"

The old Duke of Anguo did not expect An Yu's reaction to be so big. He looked at his shocked and angry old wife, then looked at An Yu who was obviously uncooperative. Inexplicably, he calmed down.

"Brother Yu, you value loyalty, which is a good quality. But grandfather wants to ask you, judging from the current situation, if the Crown Princess disappears, who will be entrusted with the throne of Great Chu?"

"That's something the Emperor and Empress should consider. I'm just a leisurely marquis, and you, grandfather, are just a duke enjoying your retirement. We really don't have the right to think about so much!" An Yu sneered, folded his hands and looked over.

The old Duke of Anguo ignored An Yu's hostility and said to him, "If we don't fight, the cabinet elders might really give the jade seal to the Sheng family for the sake of the stability of the country! Let me ask you, if the country can be entrusted to Sheng Xin, why can't it be given to you? What are you inferior to him?"

"I lack brains and skills!" An Yu patted his head and said bluntly, "I am '[Ting Hai does not need to leave the capital, shaking his head will have an echo; patting his belly makes a muffled sound, and it is full of dry grass.]' As long as the ministers in the court have a clear mind, they will not consider me! Please be kind and don't cause trouble for others!"

"Although you have many shortcomings here and there, you are a Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations twice. How could you degrade yourself to such an extent?!" Lady Ning, the wife of the old Duke of Anguo, sat back, but her hand holding the crutch did not stop.

"You've already said that I'm not good at this or that, so why are you still targeting me? The An family has many descendants, you two can choose whatever you want! I still say that I won't get involved!"

Seeing that An Yu was about to leave again, the old Duke of Anguo did not dare to continue his gesture of showing favor, and hurriedly said to comfort him: "Brother Yu, even if you don't think about yourself or the An family, you should at least think about Sister Yuan, right? As far as I know, Shu is quite dissatisfied with her. If she gets promoted, will it be difficult for her to make you and your wife unhappy?"

"I was wondering why you two elders asked me to come here today. It turns out that you want the An family to become a royal family!" An Yu suddenly realized.

"..." The old Duke of Anguo was shaking with anger as he looked at his grandson who had missed the point.

Seeing that the old couple made him so angry that he couldn't speak, An Yu suddenly laughed: "I'm giving you two some advice for the sake of kinship - if you are not worthy of your position, you will be retaliated; if you jump around recklessly, you may be punished. It's true that the princess is missing, but the emperor and the queen are still fine!
"The daughter of the Duke of Anguo disappeared, but you, as ministers, are thinking about the throne of the Duke of Anguo...Put yourself in their shoes. If all the descendants of the Duke of Anguo disappeared inexplicably, and the Duke of Anguo not only did not help to find them, but also secretly planned to snatch the title away, how would you feel?"

"You are talking nonsense!" The old wife of the Duke of Anguo could not bear to hear such an assumption and immediately got angry.

"Hey! Look! They're anxious! You two are anxious!" An Yu clapped his hands and sneered, "This is just a hypothesis, you two can't accept it... But the emperor and the empress are really suffering. Why don't you think about the consequences of the wrath of heaven?!"

At this point, An Yu was fed up and simply jumped out of the door. Then he held onto the door frame and spoke to the inside: "I have said everything I can. You two elders, it would be best if you can figure it out. Of course, if you really can't figure it out, that's useless. It's my fault for not wanting to cooperate! Hehe, that's it! Bye, you two!"
