Chapter 549 Return to Kyoto
Jiang Jichen and Hu Yan's expressions froze at the same time.
Hu Yan even unfolded the rag to take a closer look...
It is indeed a bit dirty, but it is indeed an imperial edict. The seal of the imperial palace and the handwriting of the late emperor are exactly the same!
For more than ten years, the palace, Princess Dongli, and even His Majesty and the Xie family have been looking for this imperial edict.
Everyone thought that the holy edict was lost on the way to the north.
Now it actually appears in the hands of Princess Nan Shang!
"Why is it at her place?"
Hu Yan was such a smart man that he immediately spotted the suspicious points.
The past events of that year suddenly became full of doubts...
The girl quickly poured another glass of wine into his glass, and slapped him on the face, quickly shutting up his quick head, "Why do you care so much? Just say whether you're going to do it or not, that's all!"
While Jiang An was messing with Hu Yan, Jiang Jichen's eyes fell on her.
It seems like the little girl is hiding something from him...
The old father grabbed his daughter by the back of her neck and said, "You come to ask your father if he wants to be the emperor based on an imperial edict?"
Jiang An was carried obediently, blinking her big eyes at her father.
Oh no, her dad is trying to see if she has discovered his little secret~
"Yeah~" Jiang An answered confidently.
She was seen analyzing to her father while picking at her fingers, "With this imperial edict, we have a legitimate reason to pull His Majesty down from the throne."
"There are two borders between Nanshang, one is the north and the other is the south."
The South is guarded by the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion. The current emperor has kept the Dingyuan Marquis' wife as a hostage in Kyoto for many years. Such a good family has been torn apart into its current state. I don't think they will be very loyal to His Majesty.
That means her father, with the National Protection Army, can walk around freely in Nanshang!
Given the current situation, why can't they fight back?
Jiang Jichen let go of the girl's hand, with admiration and pride in his eyes, "Your analysis is quite thorough."
He made a joke.
Unexpectedly, the little girl waved her paws and said, "Oh, low-key~ low-key~"
"Ha!" The old father chuckled.
Then he lowered his head and thought.
Jiang Jichen looked at his face as it was reflected in the cup of clear wine.
He felt uninterested in being an emperor and living in that imperial city. After all, the place did not leave any good impression on him.
But now Nan Shang really needs to change its ruler. If it continues on this path, the country will soon be destroyed!
Jiang Jichen's desire for that position was more about responsibility than greed.
He had seen too much suffering in the first half of his life, whether it was himself, his close friends, or the people...
If something can be done, it might be a good decision.
and…
Compared to him, the little girl, as the only heir left by King Yong, had a more legitimate reason to ascend to that position.
Of course, this precarious country cannot be handed over to her now.
It's not easy to be an emperor, and the daughter he raised has always been a pampered child. She can't let her suffer this!
After he has governed Nan Shang well, he will hand over to her a country with peace and prosperity.
While her father was thinking, the little girl took out a bottle of fruit wine from behind her.
She poured a small cup and sipped it.
Jiang An is not in a hurry~
After all, they have been father and daughter for more than ten years, and she knows her father too well!
Even if it is for the National Protection Army and the people, he will make a choice.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jichen suddenly relaxed and asked the little girl, "What about An?"
"Do you want to be emperor?"
"puff!"
"Ahem..." Now it was the little girl's turn.
A smile flashed in Hu Yan's eyes. What a reward!
"Ah?" Jiang An was horrified. I treat you as my real father, but you treat me as your enemy?
She is really fed up with the daily morning court sessions!
The little girl wiped her mouth and chose to give up between progress and hard work.
"But I just want to be a parasite..."
The corner of Jiang Jichen's mouth twitched. What a great ideal.
Under the gaze of her father and the old fox, the little girl grinned foolishly, "I just hope that someone will cover up for me when I get into trouble every day..."
If you feel unhappy, you can complain to your family.
Look at the mountains, the water, and the world every day, see the most beautiful scenery in the world, eat the most delicious food in the world, and be free forever.
As he said this, Jiang An's eyes sparkled and his whole body was glowing.
Jiang Jichen looked at her tenderly and touched the little girl's head.
Maybe he should have known from the beginning.
When she was three years old, he took the little girl back home. The little girl fell in love with the ginkgo tree in the yard the first time they went out.
Jiang Jichen always thought that because Gongsun Shu was left to him by his brother, he might have some kind of attraction to the little girl.
Looking back after so many years, she just likes... simply likes all the vibrant scenery in the world.
"it is good!"
"Aan is very happy..."
Always be happy.
He will take care of the rest!
Jiang An held her father's big hand and looked at her father with a smile.
She whispered in her heart, Daddy must be happy too.
The King of Zhenguo and the National Protection Army who defend the country should not be unknown or even infamous!
"Hey, drink, drink~"
Hu Yan held his forehead, looked at the little girl's red cheeks, and quickly snatched the wine glass away.
In the end, it was Jiang Si who carried this man back to Zhaixingyuan.
The next day,
The little girl and her father parted ways within the Chongzhou border.
Before leaving, Jiang An rode on a horse in a red dress, her hairband fluttering in the wind, making her look free and unrestrained.
She tilted her head to look at Jiang Jichen, "Dad, this winter is a bit long..."
The new year has passed, but the snow still shows no sign of melting.
The old father smiled and replied, "Didn't An say that the thicker the snow, the more fertile the land will be that year?"
“I think this year will be a bumper year.”
The little girl nodded, thinking that what her father said made sense.
"I'm leaving?"
Jiang Jichen nodded, and finally touched his daughter's head, "Don't let yourself be wronged in everything."
"After you arrive in Kyoto, there will be envoys from other countries coming to the capital. Be careful of people from Dongli."
There have been some movements in Dongli recently, but the situation is not very clear, so it is always better to be cautious.
"Don't worry, they will be the only ones who are unlucky!"
After saying this, the little girl rode away on her horse.
At the original spot, Jiang Jichen and others watched the figure gradually disappear in the white snow.
"I always feel like An knows something..."
He said to Hu Yan.
"normal."
Hu Yan and Jiang Jichen stood side by side, "After all, we taught her."
"Oh, you're welcome!"
The prince's tone was sour.
After leaving the North, the more the little girl thought about her father's last words, the more she felt confused.
Dongli has caused them a lot of trouble over the years.
Now there is action again, I don’t know what bad things are hidden…
"Shut up!"
Jiang An tightened the reins and stopped, calling Zheng Yan Zheng Lu, "You two take the secret guards and sneak back to the northern area..."
"No need to enter the city, just wait for the envoys on the outskirts of the city."
"If you find anything wrong with Dongli, withdraw immediately and come back to report."
The two of them agreed and immediately turned around and left.
