The Second Marriage of a Passionate Monarch: Princess Chongxi

Chapter 126 [Riot] Confession in the military camp 3
An Yunce said proudly, "That's why I said repression, didn't you hear, repression, those who disobey will be killed, let's see who dares to rebel!"

"They didn't rebel, but the innocent people were too hungry. Why did they send troops to suppress them? Suppression will only cause internal strife. The soldiers of our country of Yin are to defend against the enemy, not to harm our own countrymen! Now countries are united to form alliances. Expansion of power, we are in civil strife at this juncture, isn't it a joke?"

"Should we just let them do whatever they want and ignore them?"

"They are just short of food, so if they open the warehouse and release the food, they will have nothing to do?"

"Instead of suppressing, but feeding them, King Chen, don't you think this is breeding tigers?" Su Taiwei raised an ambiguity, An Yunhao glanced at him, this person used to follow him in everything, now he and Rui Wang became an in-law, so he targeted him everywhere!
"Su Taiwei compares the people to tigers, so the country is in danger!"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor slapped the table, and everyone knelt down, "The emperor calm down!"

The emperor looked at the people kneeling on the ground with a livid face, and remained silent for a long time.

"Father." An Yunhao said, "Father calm down, it's not that I'm alarmist. It's just that the Wuxin riot has reflected too many problems, we can't just suppress it blindly, it will only cause more people's resentment. Wuxin is a drought, I also ask Father to open a warehouse to release grain, and temporarily appease the affected people. As for how to alleviate the drought, it doesn’t matter if you open canals for drinking water or replant wheat and sorghum, but this suppression must not be carried out.”

After all, the suppression was proposed by An Yunce, and now An Yunhao strongly opposed it, and he sneered dissatisfiedly, "Second brother, isn't he the one who took the lead in the battle? When did you become so cowardly? I still remember the first battle of Wu, but you tried your best I'm going to fight!"

An Yunhao snorted coldly, "Wu is an enemy, so there is no need to be merciless when using force. But Wuxin is different, there are people from our Yin country everywhere, all of them are unarmed. May I ask King Rui, how do you use force against them? The success or failure of the suppression It doesn't make us happy either way, does it?"

An Yunce was speechless, looking at the emperor, he also looked thoughtful.

"So this time, I implore the emperor to implement a benevolent government and distribute Wuxin's official rations. If it is not enough, my ministers are willing to take the rations in person. In this way, the people will think of your kindness, instead of relying on force to make them submit or even hate you." .” An Yunhao was firm and approached the emperor.

The prince, who had not spoken all this time, coughed lightly twice, the emperor looked sideways, "What is the prince's opinion?"

"Excuse me, my son just has a sore throat."

The prince touched his throat uncomfortably. Although he was always courteous, he was really casual.Everyone was sweating for his confession, even if their throat was really itchy, it would not be difficult to say something wise, even if they agreed with either King Chen or King Rui, why did the emperor not come to power?

The emperor was so angry that he wanted to throw something, but seeing that the prince just got married and didn't want to make it too embarrassing, he kept holding back, "Does the prince not have any opinion on this matter?"

The prince smiled lightly, and said with shame, "If the emperor asks about raising flowers and planting grass, maybe I can answer a few words. These, ha ha, I really don't understand."

"How can you not understand? You are a majestic prince of a country, you don't understand this or that, how do you become a prince?"

"Therefore, it is inevitable that the ministers will harm the country, so it is better for the father to reform and install others. Whether it is political affairs or war affairs, the ministers are not interested."

He spoke lightly, and the emperor heard too much about not being a prince, so it was not surprising at all, he just frowned and said, "You are a prince, caring about state affairs and politics is not an interest at all, but it should become your task and habit! Don't leave a word There is a saying about not being a prince, do you think you are the one who said you should not be a prince?"

When the prince heard this, he just smiled indifferently and said nothing.

The emperor said, "I think King Chen's words about Wuxin are very reasonable, but we can't take it lightly. First order the local officials to open warehouses to release grain, and then the general will send a team to the prince to help him transport the grain from Yanjing. Transport them to Wuxin. If there is no commotion among the people, everything will be fine; if there is an accident, the team will suppress them all."

The matter of winning people's hearts once again fell on the crown prince. Not only did An Yunhao have complaints in his heart, but even An Yunce was extremely dissatisfied. Dare they blush and have thick necks in their fight, just to pave the way for the crown prince.

However, the crown prince was not uncommon, he cupped his hands and said, "My son is not competent, so please ask my father to send someone else."

"I said that you can do the job if you are qualified, hurry up and prepare, and leave tomorrow." The emperor was firm, "As a prince, you should go down and experience the people's feelings."

"Father, my son faints at the sight of blood. I'm afraid that if there is a riot, it will cause trouble for everyone. It's better not to go. Besides, the flowers in my palace have to be watered and loosened every day. If I'm not here, who will give it to me?" Waiting? I don't trust others."

"Are those flowers and plants more important than your people?"

The emperor was furious, but the prince didn't care, "Yes."

"You" the emperor couldn't bear it any longer, "Why did I give birth to such a worthless son like you, come here, send the prince back to the womb of the crown prince, study history books and military books behind closed doors, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the palace for half a step!"

"Yes." The palace man stepped forward to "please" the prince.

With clear eyes, he bid farewell to the emperor, turned around and left gracefully, but the emperor's angry voice came from behind him, "Prince, if you continue to be so presumptuous, I will crush all the flowers in the crown prince's womb to death. I will do what I say!"

He stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at the high emperor, with a cannon on his body, his father was as majestic as before, and he said, "My son thought that it was not the flowers that the father wanted to crush to death, but me!"

The emperor paused for breath, stared at the prince's cold face, inexplicably recalled what happened three years ago, and finally didn't know what he did wrong at the beginning, why the estrangement between father and son was so difficult to eliminate?

That high-spirited prince unexpectedly came into this appearance.Cold, yet rebellious.

After the prince left, the room was silent, and it took a long time for Su Taiwei to whisper, "The prince is too young to do anything, and the Empress Yuan passed away too early, and no one carefully taught her. Please don't be too harsh on the emperor."

After all, he is the prince's uncle, even though he didn't kiss him, he still has to say a few good words for him.The emperor thought of Empress Su, who died young, and the loneliness of the prince who lost his mother when he was young. In the end, his compassion was greater than his anger.

Seeing the emperor's face softened, Su Taiwei said again, "Since the crown prince is unwilling to go, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Lord Rui."

"Su Taiwei's words are wrong. Prince Chen is the best candidate. The escort army this time is the general's men. King Chen once joined the army under his sect. This time the cooperation between the two does not need to be adjusted, and it will get twice the result with half the effort."

The emperor nodded slightly, "Let's go, King Chen, and survey the land conditions by the way, this can't provide grain all the year round, we should find a solution to the drought."

"Yes, my son obeys the order."

"As for King Rui, I heard that Princess Rui's health is not good, so you can't feel at ease when you go out. I will give you a few days off and take her out to relax, which may help her condition."

"Thank you, Father, for your compassion." An Yunce was not reconciled, if Su Qingning hadn't dragged his feet this time, he might have been the one to go.

When he came out of the imperial dining room and passed the imperial garden, he found that the prince did not return to the uterus, but was looking at the flowers and plants.I couldn't help but stepped forward and saw him looking at Sange flowers.

"Isn't there two pots, why is there only one pot left?"

He asked casually, and the prince stroked the withered leaves of the Sanger flower, "The other pot is in the Shanghe Palace, just like this one. It can't survive. Despite such careful care, the Sanger flower still can't survive. Perhaps, it is not alive at all." It shouldn't come to Yanjing, it doesn't fit here."

"Do you mean people or flowers?"

"It doesn't matter whether people are good at flowers, isn't it all the same reason? I left my homeland and thought that the outside world is big, but is it really so good outside?"

"People move a living tree and move it to death. Isn't this flower and tree the same? It will die naturally, but people are different. Humans have adaptability. Only the farther you go, the wider your vision will be."

The prince gently folded the dead leaves away, and did not refute An Yunhao, but said, "I heard that the second brother and sister like this flower, why don't the second brother take the last pot back to relieve his lovesickness?"

"Lovesickness?" An Yunhao snorted coldly, he was afraid that she would miss others when she sees things, and miss the one in Shanghe Palace.

The prince gave An Yunhao the last pot of sangger flowers, "I always hold on to the past, how can I open my heart to the future?"

"What about you? Let go of your past?"

"I don't need the future at all. Why should I let it go? I'm back in the uterus. If I don't leave and my father sees me, I'm afraid even the flowers in the imperial garden will suffer." He turned around and left with a smile, and he didn't have any regrets because of being grounded. Not at all happy.

Perhaps for him, being locked up in the uterus, not having to go to court, not having to care about those state affairs, is nothing more than a comfortable thing.

An Yunhao stared blankly at the white Sanger flower, thinking of her who was still sick, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

In the past, when entering the west courtyard, she could always hear the voices of her joking and joking with Zhixi, but this time it was as quiet as a real dead person.The servants saluted one after another, and he strode towards the master bedroom of the princess.

Wei Young was lying on the bed, her complexion was a little better than at noon, but she still looked weak.

He put the flowers on the table, sat on the edge of the bed and touched her forehead, feeling a little cold, he couldn't help but annoyed, "How do you serve her? You don't even know how to add a quilt when it's cold?"

Zhixi had just boiled the medicine and brought it in together with red dates and chicken soup. Seeing that King Chen was back and losing his temper, she was panicked for a while, "The servant has gone to make the medicine, so..."

"Are there any other servants in the West Courtyard? You are serving the princess. You must be inseparable. Let others do these things."

"If you change to someone else, the servants are not at ease."

An Yunhao looked at her, but finally did not continue to criticize her.There are intrigues everywhere in the palace, especially when eating, you have to be extra careful. Zhixi does this very well, most of what Wei Young eats is supervised by her personally.

"Put the things down, I will feed you."

"Yes." Zhixi backed out respectfully.

"Wei Young." An Yunhao yelled, she opened her eyes in a daze, and couldn't figure out who he was, so she just looked at her in a daze.

"Come to drink the medicine." An Yunhao said, picked her up, and leaned against her arms like noon, she was limp and exhausted, but she heard the word drink medicine, she couldn't help frowning and shaking her head, "I don't drink, bitter"

"If you are sick, you have to drink medicine, it doesn't matter whether it is bitter or not!" An Yunhao said, putting a spoonful of medicine near her lips, Wei Young went straight into his arms, saying pitifully whether to drink or not drink.

An Yunhao wanted to feed her medicine and hug her all by himself, a bit overwhelmed, so he forced to feed her medicine.He took a sip of the medicine, it was indeed very bitter, he fixed it with Wei Young's head, then pressed his lips together, pried open her lips and teeth to send the medicine juice little by little.

Wei Young accepted all this passively, in a daze, she even lost her sense of taste, and she didn't taste how bitter the medicine was.Just like that, An Yunhao fed her mouthful.

Thinking of how she used to feed Sima Mingyi in the same way, An Yunhao's tender face was covered with coldness again, which always made him flustered.He became inexplicably happy again, so when he delivered the last sip of medicine, he was reluctant to let go.

Afraid that he would crush her, he hurriedly moved away, Wei Young suddenly felt the pain from the medicine, and coughed uncontrollably, "It's so bitter. Bitter."

An Yunhao looked at the candied dates in the tray, put one in her mouth, the bitterness gradually dissipated, after such a toss, she became more sober, turned her head to look at An Yunhao, her surprised words became soft in the weakness asked, "How did you come here?"

"Here to supervise you to drink medicine!"

"I don't drink." She shook her head hurriedly.

An Yunhao grinned, lay down beside her, supported his head and said, "I've already drank it, I fed it."

Is he proud of it?Wei Young looked at him, seeing the corners of his mouth curled up wickedly, speaking so charmingly, and her own confusion just now, she already thought of how to feed her.I couldn't help but blushed slightly and said nothing.

"Is it better? Then drink the chicken soup now." He said, seeing Wei Young in a daze, "Not moving? It seems that I still need to feed it myself."

"No, no, I'll do it myself." Wei Young anxiously used her hand to carry it, but forgot that her hand was hurt, and frowned in pain.

"Knowing that there is an injury, you still move around, clumsy!" An Yunhao was annoyed, Wei Young drooped her head aggrievedly, is it true that people who are ill are like this, helpless and confused, when they are yelled at, they feel that they are in this world The poorest man?
Anyway, Wei Young felt this way at the moment, An Yunhao picked her up again, didn't really feed her with his mouth, but delivered spoonful by spoonful to her mouth.
