Chapter 314 Thank you for your praise
As soon as the news came out, the whole capital city was shocked.
When the three princes were invited to the capital, everyone knew that the little prince was forced to be appointed as the emperor by the eldest princess. Now the little prince is just a synonym for the little prince, and it is impossible for him to have anything to do with the throne.
The new king must come from the three princes.
Now that the Duke of Fuguo and the Prince's Tutor have appeared, the significance is self-evident.
The Prince of Yan immediately gave up all his thoughts and asked the Emperor for permission to return to Yan.
The emperor did not make things difficult for him and allowed him to return to Yan.
The Prince of Yan left the city in less than three days.
The Prince of Changle is different from the Prince of Yan. He has greater hope. Now, tell him that everything is hopeless.
So were they summoned to the capital just to laugh at their mistakes?
"The Emperor and the Duke of Weiguo are simply going too far." Prince Changle could no longer control his temper and smashed everything in the house.
The followers were terrified.
He stepped aside, not daring to take a single step forward.
Grand Master Xun and his son arrived.
Look at the mess in the room.
Grand Tutor Xun said, "Did Prince Changle just give up like that?"
Grand Tutor Xun had been criticized by Wei Xuan in the past. Now that he was older and more narrow-minded, he really couldn't let it go.
Secondly, he was also afraid that Wei Xuan would make things difficult for his son after he came to power.
It is impossible for the Xun family to live on for generations relying on its past prestige.
He needs capable people in every generation.
Even if their talents are average, someone above them has to promote Xun's family members.
When Prince Changle saw Grand Tutor Xun, his expression eased a little.
But how can I get rid of the anger in my heart?
"It's too chaotic here, please come this way, Grand Master."
He invited the guests to the next room, served them tea and asked them to sit down.
"Prince of Changle, now that you have come to the capital, do you really want to leave with your tail between your legs like Prince of Yan did?" Grand Tutor Xun said, holding the tea and taking a sip.
"Yes, Prince of Changle, now everyone in the capital knows that what originally belonged to you no longer exists. But even if the throne no longer exists, Wei Xuan is only a Duke of Fuguo. It is better for Prince of Changle to fight one last time. In the name of the royal family, ask the emperor to appoint you as regent. Together with the Duke of Fuguo, you can help the little prince grow up and stabilize the throne." said Minister Xun.
Grand Master Xun continued, "Yes, Wei Xuan is not of the Gu clan after all, and does not have royal blood. If he develops thoughts that he shouldn't have while assisting the crown prince, it would be a disaster."
"But the Prince of Changle is different. The Prince and the Emperor are of the same clan and bloodline, and he will definitely do his best to assist the young prince."
How could the Prince of Changle not understand?
If he could be named regent, it would be no different from becoming emperor.
"Teacher Xun is right. The king and the emperor are of the same clan and bloodline. I am concerned about the Gu family's rule. However, the emperor has been deceived by Wei Xuan for a long time. I am afraid that he will not trust the king easily, let alone make promises."
"Everything depends on human effort. If you don't try, you won't know."
Master Xun is also looking for a future for the Xun family.
Prince Changle immediately got down from his seat and bowed his head to him.
"Please teach me, Master Xun."
"Tomorrow, I will accompany the prince into the palace, and I will definitely be able to convince the emperor." Even if it means using past favors to make the emperor realize that he must not hand over the affairs of the Dayue Dynasty to a person of an outsider.
"Good, that's great." The sadness on Prince Changle's face disappeared.
*
The next morning, Prince Changle, the Xun family father and son, and several other ministers, about seven or eight people, went to the palace together to ask for an audience with the emperor.
When Eunuch Liu got the news, he immediately ordered someone to inform Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan rushed over immediately.
Emperor Tianyuan is now in poor health and rarely attends court. He only goes to court when there is something extremely important. Otherwise, he rests in his bedroom.
Grand Tutor Xun brought a group of people to look for Emperor Tianyuan.
Emperor Tianyuan then met them.
"Your Majesty, if you want to entrust the little prince to someone, you can't just entrust him to Wei Xuan. How can Wei Xuan take on the responsibility of the entire Dayue Kingdom by himself?" The old Grand Tutor Xun spoke first.
Emperor Tianyuan was not stupid and immediately understood their purpose.
He glanced at Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu nodded at him.
Emperor Tianyuan understood and was not in a hurry.
He is in poor health now, and what he fears most is that someone will take advantage of past favors to force him to issue an edict.
He will not go against his own wishes, nor will he sit idly by and watch others covet his kingdom.
There are not many people left in his lineage, and he only has a few descendants.
"I understand what the Grand Tutor means. However, my kingdom cannot be defended by the Duke of Wei alone. It must be guarded by all the civil and military officials in the court." He pretended not to understand.
Minister Xun at the side immediately interjected.
"The emperor is wise and has granted Wei Xuan the title of Duke of Fuguo and the prince's tutor. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, the Duke of Weiguo will definitely assist him. But how can he manage the affairs of state while assisting the prince alone? We must recruit more people."
Seeing this, the other people immediately knelt down and begged at the same time.
"Your Highness is begging you to make use of the Prince of Changle."
Grand Tutor Xun added, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Changle is a blood relative of the royal family, much closer than the Wei family. It is most legitimate to have the Prince of Changle assist the young prince. After all, the Duke of Wei is an outsider, not a relative."
Emperor Tianyuan understood.
This group of people wanted to gain status for the Prince of Changle and to share Wei Xuan's power.
Do they really not understand?
Who is the Prince of Changle? As long as Wei Xuan is willing, ten Changles are nothing in front of Wei Xuan.
"Do you really think so?" Emperor Tianyuan looked at everyone indifferently.
The few of them had a very good understanding of each other.
"Your Highness, please give us your orders."
Emperor Tianyuan did not reject them either.
Instead, he summoned the young eunuch.
"This matter is related to Wei Xuan, so call him over and we can talk it over in person. Someone, go and invite the Duke of Fuguo over."
"Yes." The young eunuch took the order and was about to go and invite him.
Minister Xun stopped the young eunuch.
"Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of the royal family and has nothing to do with Wei Xuan. There is no need to invite him here."
If Wei Xuan came, what would they do?
Wei Xuan wanted to monopolize power, so how could he possibly give up the power in his hands?
Minister Xun had just finished speaking.
Wei Xuan has appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"Why? You mentioned Wei? But you have something important to discuss with Wei?"
Wei Xuan was wearing a black brocade robe, not court dress or official uniform.
He looked indifferent as he stepped in step by step, not paying any attention to their existence.
When Prince Changle saw this, his heart ached.
It seems that today's matter cannot be settled.
When Master Xun saw him coming, he was quite annoyed.
"Wei Xuan, what are you talking about? You don't even want to perform formalities when you meet the emperor."
"Who said that?" Wei Xuan immediately bowed to Emperor Tianyuan, "Master Xun is old and his eyesight is blurry. Should I perform the ceremony outside the palace?"
"You——" Master Xun felt dizzy and his head was swollen. "Wei Xuan, you are becoming more and more presumptuous."
"Master Xun, you are too kind."
