The two children helped the grandma up the stairs. The grandma repeatedly thanked them and said, "Thank you, young brother."
Nian Jun shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just a small matter. When we go down the mountain later, I must be careful."
An Yi Xuan had just left An Guo Temple. Seeing this scene, he secretly nodded his head, rolled his eyes, and made up his mind.
Not long after, An Yixuan changed into a gorgeous set of outer clothing, carrying a giant turtle with him as he arrived at the Pond of Life. When he saw Niu Jun playing with the branch of a tree, he purposefully yelled out, "Well, today I'm going to release you. You have to keep me alive for a hundred years." He was about to throw the turtle into the pond.
Nian Jun looked at it and quickly stopped it. "Uncle, please don't do this!"
An Yixuan looked at him with disdain and said, "I bought the turtle. I'm willing to release it. What does that have to do with you?"
Nian Jun said anxiously, "There are all kinds of fish in this Pisces Pond. If you let the tortoise in, wouldn't that be killing Yu'er?"
An Yixuan said domineeringly, "I am willing to give you my fortune. If I buy a turtle, I will be able to live for a hundred years."
"Although everyone wants to live for a hundred years, God will not bestow blessings on those who do not care about others for their own sake," Nian Jun said with a frown. If you put in the turtle, the whole pond of fish will become its food. You are risking your life here, that's what you are doing.
"Actually, I feel that it's fated by heaven to live as long as one can do more good things while still alive. The heavens will bless the former, not the likes of you."
An Yi Xuan was frightened by Nian Jun's words. He didn't think that this child would be able to speak such reasonable words. For a moment, the turtle in his hand didn't know what to do, so he said, "What little brother said is reasonable. I'll take it back and eat it." With that, he made as if to leave.
"Uncle, I have a piece of gold here. Can I trade it for that turtle?" He took out the gold that he had cut into the shape of marbles and handed it to An Yixuan.
An Yi Xuan said, "There's so much gold. Aren't you regretting buying a carriage full of these turtles?"
Niu Jun shook his head. "Money is just an external object, but there is only one life. Uncle only wants to eat it because he listened to me, so I changed his fate. I should take responsibility." On the other side of the temple, there is a pond. Inside the pond are turtles, and I want to put them there. Although there are no fish to eat, they will be safe for the rest of their lives. "
Once again, An Yixuan was stunned by the words of Niu Jun. This child actually understood the value of life at such a young age, and even understood the meaning of responsibility. Once he grew up, he would definitely become a wise king. Alright, then I'll take this gold away, don't regret it. "
In fact, Nian Jun didn't really care about the gold. He happily accepted the turtle and ran towards the pond.
An Yi Xuan stroked his beard and laughed. "Hahaha …" "Alright, you're a good sapling. It's settled then." "Lin Mu Jun had left an eternal brand in An Zaixuan's heart, and it was this brand that the An clan had been loyal to for the rest of their lives.
Three days later, An Zaixuan returned to the Empress Dowager.
"grand empress, the First Prince is pure, kind, and intelligent. He is a good seedling. With the guidance of the empress dowager in the future, he will definitely become an enlightened monarch."
The empress dowager nodded. "Since General An has made up his mind, then we must immediately rescue the citizens from fire and water without delay."
"As you command." An Yixuan cupped his fist.
The empress dowager thought of something and took out the Tiger Tally. "Take this and use it as a congratulatory gift. Dongfang Haotian won't miss you."
"Thank you, grand empress." An Yixuan took the Tiger Tally and returned to the Residence of Tranquil East.
The emperor bestowed the title of imperial concubine to Xu Han Liu, this was publicly announced to the world. He wanted to use the reason of sending congratulatory gifts to slaughter his way into the imperial palace and force Dongfang Haotian to give up his position. When everything was settled, he led his men on the road.
On the other hand, the empress dowager had left half a day late, so as to avoid being associated with An Yixuan.
Dongfang Haotian's recent performance had indeed angered the masses, even Zuo Xiang and the others started to feel indignant. After An Yixuan reached the capital city, he did not immediately enter the palace. Instead, he went to the house of his brother to lobby. Those people were all his friends and quickly stood on the same side as him.
When everything was ready, An Yi Xuan brought people to the Reclining Dragon Palace with gifts.
Dongfang Haotian had originally been accompanying Xu Han and Liu Li. "Your Majesty, Old General An said that he brought a rare treasure to present to Your Majesty," he reported.
Xu Han smiled and said, "Your majesty, chenqie wants to see rare treasures."
Dongfang Haotian laughed: "Alright, I'll bring you there."
After arriving at Reclining Dragon Palace, An Yi saw Xu Han and Liu dressed in red. Although she couldn't be more beautiful than Leng Qiyue, she had a lot of charm to her. No wonder Dongfang Haotian doted on her this much, he only wanted to know how many men in the world could pass through the trial of beauties.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this old subject has brought a rare treasure. Please have a look." An Yixuan held onto the box with both hands, refusing to open it.
Dongfang Haotian pulled Xu Han and walked closer, laughing, "Open it, let my beautiful woman see."
An Yi Xuan frowned. He raised the lid and two people jumped out, one holding a dagger, and placed it on Dongfang Haotian and the other on Xu Han Liu's neck.
Dongfang Haotian's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "An Yi Xuan, are you planning to rebel?"
On the other hand, Xu Han Liu screamed out in fright. The person holding Xu Han back was hurting his ears from her scream, and he didn't know whether this woman should be killed or not, so he struck the back of her neck and knocked her unconscious.
The great hall instantly quieted down, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
An Yi Xuan did not respond to Dongfang Haotian's words, and opened the imperial edict. Only then did he say, "May the Emperor pass on his position to the First Prince."
Dongfang Haotian's face turned green, and cursed: "Scoundrel, you threaten to force us to abdicate?"
An Yixuan's expression did not change as he said, "The Emperor is obsessed with women, and has wasted his time in the imperial court. The people are not living well nowadays, so we old bones humbly request the Emperor to pass on our position to the First Prince. As long as the Emperor passes on his title, the Emperor can peacefully stay in the harem and enjoy the beauty of women. "
"May the Emperor pass on his location to the First Prince." There were no less than twenty old officials present, each of them holding an important role as they tried to advise Dongfang Haotian to pass on his position.
Dongfang Haotian suddenly coughed, and before he could even cough a few times, he spat out a large mouthful of blood. This is rebellion. "
Seeing Dongfang Haotian spitting out blood, An Yi could not bear it anymore. He stepped forward to support Dongfang Haotian and said, "Your majesty's body is not as big as it was before.
Dongfang Haotian pushed An Yi Xuan aside and said: "We are not allowed here, we will definitely not give up our position."
"It's not up to you to refuse." The empress dowager's cold voice traveled over.
The Grand Elder opened up a path for the Empress Dowager. Leng Qiyue held Nian Rui and led Nian Ji Jun behind her as they walked towards Dongfang Haotian.
