The emperor forced my father to rebel every day

Chapter 5 Nanzhao Enters the Palace - The Emperor Forces My Father to Rebel Every Day - Bookmark

That night, Zuo Xiangfu was solemn and quiet.

The head of Nanfu Wu bowed to Nan Xun, the left minister sitting in the main hall, and saluted with both hands, "Master Zuo Xiang, the second son has arrived."

Nan Xun lightly raised his hand and replied, "Master Wu, let him in."

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, Director Wu led a handsome young man into the middle hall, then left silently and closed the door gently.

The little boy knelt down and saluted, and called out: "Father, my lord."

Nan Xun looked at his elegant and clear second son, although he was very happy in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he replied casually: "Zhaoer get up and sit down."

Nan Zhao stood up respectfully in response, and sat down by the hall.

Nan Xun stroked the corner of his sleeve with two fingers, and said: "The imperial decree has been issued, tomorrow...you can enter the palace."

Nan Zhao stood up, saluted with both hands, and replied: "Yes, the child will follow Father's arrangement and will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness."

"Emperor's grace?" Nan Xun smiled lightly, and looked at Nan Zhao with incomprehensible eyes, "Zhao'er answered very well, it was the emperor's grace, the mighty emperor's grace. Clouds cover hands as rain, every move of yours affects the lifeblood of the whole family, every prosperity is all prosperity, every loss is all loss."

Nan Zhao raised his head to meet Nan Xun's unfathomable eyes, and replied: "Zhao'er understands the key point. The emperor is the sky, and the king is the most precious. Once you enter the palace gate, you will be a member of the Tian family, so you must not implicate the whole family."

"It's good that Zhao'er understands, I've wronged you. The Tian family is also a hard-working person. If he was not born in the royal family, he must be a noble person protected by his parents. After all, he is just a half-grown baby. It is his fate."

Nan Xun suddenly flashed a trace of confusion from Nan Zhao's plain eyes, and continued to ask: "But do you have something to say?"

Nan Zhao nodded.

Nan Xun leaned back and agreed, "But it doesn't matter."

Nan Zhao paused, gritted his teeth lightly, and finally asked, "My lord father has the military power in his hands, and he has already fought against the right minister in court, so why..."

"Why do you have to be sent into the palace to monitor a little doll, right?"

"Yeah." Nan Zhao bowed his head.

"I'm not greedy for power because of my father, but things in this world are changing rapidly. Does Zhao'er care less about the distinguished guests in the hall today and the death row prisoners tomorrow? The right minister has always been afraid of the military power of the Nan family. The soldier talisman, disarmed and returned to the field, can't change Lin Ren's peace of mind, and must be killed. Just like the emperor's fate is not the emperor's, but the world's; the father's fate is not for the father, but the court; and yours The fate is not your fate, but the Nan family's. We are all pawns in this overall game. Child, do you understand?"

Nan Zhao calmed down and knelt down: "My child is stupid, now... I understand."

"Okay, Zhao'er, go back and rest. Remember, before entering the palace, go see your mother again. You know what to say and what not to say, so don't let her worry."

"Yes, father."

"Also, from tomorrow onwards, there will be no father or lord outside the Nan family's gate."

Nan Zhao sank down, bowed three times and knelt farewell.

Before dawn on the second day, Nan Zhao quietly left through the side door with his attendant Zhu Shi.Before getting into the carriage, he bowed three times in the direction of Nan Xun's residence, and then Zhushi helped him into the carriage.

Zhushi told the groom: "Hurry up, the young master will appear in the Tian family's bedroom to serve you before the cock crows, don't miss the hour."

"Yes!"

The groom slammed down his whip and ran towards the Imperial City of Kyoto.

In the carriage, Zhushi looked at Nan Zhao holding the jade pendant, and asked in a low voice, "My lord is still thinking about my wife."

Nan Zhao nodded, gently supported the green jade pendant, and replied: "Well, my mother said yesterday that this pear flower jade pendant is her dowry, and I should keep it. Seeing the jade pendant in the future is like seeing my mother. Condolences."

"My lord is filial, but I have wronged my lord just by leaving here."

Seeing his young master's loss, Zhushi's heart ached, no matter how famous he was, he was only half a boy after all, and he began to complain about Nan Zhao again, "Young master is really a companion, but now everyone in the capital doesn't know, It is obvious that the right minister is forcing the left minister to send you as a hostage. In addition, the Tian family is perverse and moody, will the young master have a good day?"

Nan Zhao held the jade pendant tightly in his palm and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! Is it something we can discuss about the Tian Family and the Right Prime Minister? If you continue to do this, you might as well get off the car and go back to your residence now, so as not to be pulled out of your speech in the future." It’s a minor thing if you lose your tongue, but it’s a big thing if you implicate your family.”

Zhushi slapped himself on the mouth, "The little one made a slip of the tongue, it's time to hit him! I will never do it again in the future, and please don't drive the little one back home."

Nan Zhao raised the bamboo curtain, looked at the smoke that began to rise from the car window, "Forget it, please take care of me, remember that from today onwards, the lives of you and me will not belong to me, nor to Nanfu."

"Whose is that?"

"It belongs to the heavenly family."
