After my rebirth, I became the Prince Regent's favorite

Prince Yan nodded, but under the strong pressure of his father, he did not dare to say a word.

After a while, a boy about 13 years old came quickly and said: "My grandson pays homage to his grandfather and wishes him well!"

The originally indifferent face of Old Yan King suddenly became wrinkled with smiles: "Hey, my dear grandson, why are you here? Did you sleep well last night?"

The young man threw himself into his arms and said, "There is no better home than anywhere else. Grandpa, when should we go back?"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Yan suddenly changed his expression.

He hurriedly reminded: "Jin'er, don't talk nonsense. Our home is in the capital. Now that we are here, we will never go back to that wild land!"

Xiao Jin said with a pale face: "Why, I still have many friends over there, and they all want me to bring gifts from the capital back!"

Prince Yan just wanted to speak, but was blocked by the old King Yan: "Shut up, he has grown up now, and there are some things he should understand!"

Xiao Jin blinked in surprise: "Grandpa, what do you want me to understand?"

The old King Yan said slowly: "The reason why I brought you back to the capital this time is because my grandfather wanted to push you to that position. At that time, Emperor An broke his waist due to an accident. According to the report of the spies who stayed in the palace, he would He will become a paralytic!"

Xiao Jin frowned bitterly: "Grandpa, I don't want to be the emperor. I heard my father say that it would be too hard to be trapped in that world for a long time and not be able to do anything on my own."

The old King Yan glared at the Crown Prince Yan so hard that he quickly denied it: "Father, I never said that!"

Xiao Jin interrupted without hesitation: "Dad, how could you fool grandfather?"

Prince Yan was so angry that he covered his mouth: "You are not allowed to speak anymore!"

The old King Yan reprimanded in a deep voice: "What a shame, you are too weak to hold up the wall, and you want to teach Jin'er a bad lesson. You are really stupid!"

Prince Yan stood beside him with his head drooped, his eyes filled with fear and uneasiness.

Seeing that her grandfather was angry, Xiao Jin quickly said obediently: "I listen to my grandfather, please don't be angry, grandfather!"

The old King Yan narrowed his eyes and said: "Good boy, with my grandfather here, I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice. Besides, that position should have belonged to us. The late emperor was cunning and used a vicious trick to drive me out of the capital. , now I want to get it back, no one can stop me!"

As soon as the words fell, someone came to report: "Reply to the old prince, the regent will personally lead the court to greet you at the city gate!"

Old Yan King's face turned cold: "Xiao Sheng came in person?"

He got into the carriage and hurriedly urged him to enter the city quickly.

In the distance, he saw the tall figure.

He vaguely remembered that when he left the capital, Xiao Sheng was not yet born. Until later, when he heard that he was being ostracized, he still thought about giving him a hand. After all, if he was raised as a dog, he could be used by his master in the future. .

However, he did not pay attention to the lineage of King Yan.

He actually went to the military camp to practice. He originally thought that if young people endured some hardships, they would surely know that the world is dangerous.

However, he grew up to be the Iron-Blooded King of Hell in the army and made great achievements in battle.

There was a chill in his eyes, and he was secretly annoyed that because of a moment of benevolence, Tianfeng Chao had such an evil god.

He tried his best to suppress his hatred, and an old look appeared on his face: "The guilty minister pays homage to the regent!"

Xiao Sheng spoke slowly: "Old King Yan, there is no need to be polite. You are the elder. Xiao Sheng didn't know the news about your return to Beijing, so I missed you from afar. Please forgive me!"

A sarcasm flashed across Old Yan King's face, blaming him for being caught off guard.

He pretended to be confused and murmured: "Didn't you ask the prince to send a message to Beijing? Didn't the regent receive it?"

Xiao Zhan, the Crown Prince of Yan, quickly stepped forward: "Replying to my father, my son indeed sent someone to send a message to the capital. I'm afraid something went wrong and it was delayed. After all, the wilderness is thousands of miles away from the capital. Far away!"

King Lao Yan immediately scolded: "Why don't you kneel down and apologize to the regent!"

Prince Yan quickly fell to the ground and shouted loudly: "It was my brother's negligence. Please forgive me, the regent!"

Xiao Sheng said calmly: "It turns out that I am a guest, and I have invited Old King Yan to go to the Royal Villa. I have already ordered everyone to make all the arrangements!"

Old King Yan's eyes flashed, he wanted to live directly in Prince Yan's Mansion.

How can I go to live in Bieyuan?

It seems that Xiao Sheng does not intend to let him enter Beijing.

He pretended to be uneasy and asked: "Will the birthday banquet be held in the Bieyuan? Isn't it in the ancestor worship pavilion in the palace?"

Xiao Sheng explained: "It's in the Ancestral Sacrifice Pavilion. On the day of the big banquet, someone will invite the old King Yan to the capital. But right now, we need to abide by the decree issued by the previous emperor. You can't enter the capital without an edict!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Especially Xiao Zhan, the Crown Prince of Yan, subconsciously wanted to speak.

Old King Yan suddenly coughed violently, and his already old face became even grayer.

Within a moment, he coughed up a lot of blood.

Xiao Zhan quickly stretched out his hand to support him: "Father, how are you?"

Old King Yan waved his hand vigorously, and murmured tremblingly: "Prince Regent, I am on the verge of death now. The previous emperor has been dead for many years. Do you have to respect that decree and refuse to change?"

His eyes were filled with tears, like a homesick filial son who had been away from his homeland for many years.

He was bent over, almost unsteady on his feet.

The ministers in the court couldn't see it and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, the old King Yan has been away from the capital for many years. Now he wants to return to the capital to take care of his old age. I think that we should not stop him!"

Xiao Sheng's face was deserted, and in the eyes of the people watching, it seemed that he was cruel and unfeeling.

Many people quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Please allow the regent to allow the old King Yan to enter the city. He has been wandering away all his life. The royal family should not turn him away!"

A flash of pride flashed in Prince Yan's eyes. Fortunately, he allowed some barbarian people to sneak into the city in advance. It was also a blessing that his father pretended to be a filial son, otherwise he would not have been able to roast the regent Xiao Sheng on the fire.

Seeing the crowd kneeling down, Xiao Sheng turned to look at the courtiers: "Do you also plead for the old King Yan?"

The courtiers looked at each other in confusion, and after a moment, they slowly knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, please have mercy!"

Xiao Sheng spoke without hesitation: "I am managing this court on behalf of the emperor. No one can disobey the decree issued by the late emperor. However, because the old King Yan is old, I will comply with your request and agree to it." He went to the city and returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, but his juniors could only live in Bieyuan!"

Old Yan King's eyes flickered. He knew better than anyone that Xiao Sheng wanted to guard against his children.

They even had to take him as a hostage!

However, he doesn't care!

The main purpose of his return this time was to regain the throne. Now that Emperor An was paralyzed, his grandson should take over the Xiao family.

He coughed and said, "I am old and need someone to take care of me. Why don't I ask the regent to let my grandson Xiao Jin come to Beijing with me!"
