Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1342 Less Ambition
On the day they recognized each other, Master Yao was filled with shock and joy. He was so busy recognizing each other and reminiscing about the past that he forgot to mention the late emperor's edict. When he told An Zhixian about this last time they met, he found that An Zhixian was only surprised and not excited.

Master Yao was pleased that An Zhixian was a gentleman like Prince Ling, but also angry that he was as casual and open-minded as Prince Ling.

In the eyes of Master Yao, none of the four princes could handle the important task:
Although the prince is talented, he lacks the deep thinking of an emperor. If he ascends the throne, he will easily be instigated by villains and will inevitably allow his external relatives to interfere in politics.

Although Chu Chengyao is the most scheming, he is a mean man with a sweet mouth and a sharp tongue. This boy is most like that man in character, narrow-minded and vicious. After ascending to the throne, he will be like that man, framing loyal people to vent his old grudges.

Chu Chengye is even worse. Not to mention that his own uncle was the enemy who killed Prince Ling, just looking at Chu Chengye's personality, not only is he ambitious, but his temper is also greater than his ability. If he ascends the throne, he will most likely be a tyrant.

As for Chu Chengping, he is kind and gentle in nature, much better than the other three, but he is too gentle. A king who is too gentle will definitely attract ambitious villains.

As for the little prince, Grand Tutor Yao chose to bypass him.

After thinking it over, no matter how you compare it, An Zhixian wins in every aspect and is the best candidate for the king. He also has the imperial edict of the previous emperor in his hand, so he has the full legitimacy.

However, although his heart was burning with passion, An Zhixian reacted indifferently and was only focused on avenging his father, and had no interest in the throne.

Master Yao came here not only to show concern for An Zhixian, but also to discuss the matter of the imperial edict. After a long while of persuasion, An Zhixian finally raised his eyes and replied:
"Grandpa Grandmaster, after rescuing my mother and avenging my father, if Tianchu needs me to take that position, I will definitely do it. It's too early to say this now."

Upon hearing this, Master Yao was silent for a while, then sighed and changed the subject:
"Zheng Xiangheng doesn't know your identity. He must be a careful person to be able to become the manager of the Hidden Guard in Kyoto. You must be careful when dealing with him."

An Zhixian agreed:
“I only knew about the hidden guards before, but I didn’t know Zheng Xiangheng was also a hidden guard. I thought he was just like Cheng Qi, because he was from an aristocratic family and was not good at hiding his abilities.

He is indeed very careful. Just now at the wine table, he almost got suspicious. Fortunately, he noticed it early and got away with it. "After hearing what happened, Master Yao praised An Zhixian for his alertness:
"You have never passed the imperial examination. If you want to enter the palace without being suspected, I can only start from here. This is unfair to you."

An Zhixian added tea and said with a smile:
"You just care too much about me. I have not been wronged. I will stay here for a while and try to get into the Imperial Academy. If I can enter the palace, I can be closer to my mother."

Master Yao put down the tea that was about to reach his mouth:

"Once you enter the palace, the risk is greater. If someone recognizes you..."

An Zhixian: "After so many years, you still haven't recognized me, and that man certainly won't recognize me either. After all, in his heart, I was eliminated by him personally."

After finishing their conversation, An Zhixian invited Master Yao to have dinner with him. The faint sounds of laughter coming from the table made Yanshu, who was standing outside the door, even more confused:

Who exactly is this Boss An, and why does the master treat him better than the young lady?
Just after finishing the meal, Zhuqing came in to clean up the dishes and reported: "People have arrived."

An Zhixian ordered Zhu Qing to bring the person over, then turned to Master Yao and said with a smile:

"Grandpa Taishi, I just learned that you are coming. I sent a message to you about an acquaintance who I want you to meet."

As he was talking, a burly man walked into the room, exchanged common greetings with An Zhixian, then knelt down and saluted Taishi Yao:

"Meet the Grand Master."
