The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Wang An raised his head with surprise in his eyes.

How could he not understand the meaning of these words, this is to make him the crown prince!

"Yes, father has decided to make you the crown prince."

Wang Kang asked with a smile: "Are you willing?"

"It should be the eldest brother, why is it me?"

"You also understand your elder brother's temper. He is obsessed with martial arts, likes the military, and loves to fight. You should already know that he has gone to the border..."

"But the eldest son inherits!"

Wang An said: "The crown prince should belong to the eldest brother, I will not compete with the eldest brother."

When he said this, he looked directly at Wang Kang, showing that it was from the heart.

Wang Kang also appreciates this.

Although the two brothers have completely different personalities, they are very loving and have a good relationship. He doesn't want to see brothers fighting.

"Our family doesn't pay attention to this. Your eldest brother has given up, and his character is not suitable for being an emperor."

Wang Kang said: "He has already said, you are the emperor to govern the government, and he will defend the frontier for you."

"This……"

"Your personality is similar to that of your father. You like to be active but not quiet, but my husband knows that you are very smart. You understand everything. You look like a dandy, but your heart is like a thread. Our family's top three orders are all single-handed. You Grandpa is already old, but he is still running around between Zhao and Qin. In my father's generation, there are only two sons. When Daqin was established, there is always a need for successors. This burden can only fall on you."

Wang Kang's words were also heartfelt.

He needs to communicate well with his son, because he knows that Wang An may not be willing to be the emperor.

"I see."

Wang An replied in a deep voice.

"Of course, this requires a transitional stage. Governing a country is not an easy task. You still need to go through a long period of learning and accumulation."

Wang Kang said: "Father will make you the crown prince in the near future, because father must leave Daqin and go to the state of Qi."

"Go to Qi State?"

Wang An said in surprise, "You want to leave at this time?"

"Yes, I have to make this trip, so I appointed you as the crown prince, and I will announce to the public that in order to train the crown prince, you will be in charge of the government and stabilize the situation!"

"No, this won't work, I can't do it."

Wang An hurriedly shook his head.

He has self-knowledge, but he is still too immature, how can he manage the government and control such a large country.

"Of course it's not really for you to take over, it just needs you to come to the stage and have a name."

Wang Kang said: "I have already arranged it. The real leader is someone else."

"Who? A minister in the cabinet?"

Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu Sansheng are now also habitually called the cabinet.

"It's your third wife."

"Sanniang?"

The Sanniang that Wang Kang mentioned was actually Zhang Xianxian.

Wang Kang has never doubted Zhang Xianxian's talent in this area. Her strategic vision is quite high. The most important thing is that her thinking is unconventional, and she is also the one who can best keep up with Wang Kang's rhythm.

In fact, in the process of establishing the new dynasty, many matters were decided after he discussed with Zhang Xianxian.

It's just that Zhang Xianxian is a woman, and she's also a queen.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the practice of all dynasties. Even Wang Kang cannot break it at will, so as not to cause chaos.

So she can only manipulate behind the scenes, and let Wang An be in front of the stage.

This was the best way Wang Kang could think of. With Zhang Xianxian as the host, he felt more at ease.

He can only leave in secret. If it spreads, it will inevitably lead to instability in the court, so he can keep it secret for a day.

This requires a lot of operations.

Of course, Wang Kang also made a lot of arrangements. He could never show his face to ordinary people and courtiers.

But the cabinet ministers of the three provinces can't hide it, so he needs to cover it up.

In short, Wang Kang is cautious, and the establishment of the prince at this time will have the effect of stabilizing the court.

"understood."

Wang An also realized that, to put it bluntly, he was asked to be a puppet for outsiders to see.

"You don't have to think, power is addictive."

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "And you still need to accumulate precipitation, so I won't give you any decision-making power. During this period, you are just a puppet!"

"But you can get in touch with all the government secrets, which is a rare experience in itself. Do you understand the good intentions of being a father?"

Wang An is no longer young.

He was worried because this move would make him rebellious again.

"I understand that I am indeed inexperienced and still need to learn."

Wang An's attitude was very correct.

When he was in Yangzhou, he had been studying with Zhang Xianxian, so he knew very well how powerful his Sanniang was.

"Then how long will you go? If it takes too long, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"I can't tell for the time being, it will take three months at the earliest."

Wang Kang smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged for my father, and nothing will go wrong."

"Well, then you should be ready, and you will be formally established as the prince in the near future."

"I will not disappoint your great trust."
