The appalling news that the generals of the expedition rebelled and that the general was hunted down on the way had long been spread back to the imperial capital. How could the emperor not know about it? He just never expected that Yi Huaiyu would hold him accountable in front of all the civil and military officials.
This move not only panicked the prince, but also the emperor of Yao Kingdom had no idea and had no idea how to deal with it.
Yi Huaiyu clenched his fists tightly and stared at the emperor's expression with his falcon-like eyes - how can there be any siblings in such a situation? There is no relationship between father and son. If the emperor expresses his unwillingness to hold the prince responsible, then he
He would express his dissatisfaction in a more violent way, and it was impossible for the emperor to blame him.
For decades, the people of Yaoguo have endured the oppression of Zhaoguo. How many people hate their neighbors who bully the weak, and how many people are dissatisfied and complaining about the weak and incompetent emperor of Yaoguo? Now there is finally a man who can stand up and make decisions for the people.
Just on the way back to the imperial capital, Yi Huaiyu heard endless praises. For such a prince and general who was deeply supported by the people, would the emperor dare to take action against him?
No matter how stupid you are, you still understand the truth that water can carry a boat but also capsize it.
"This matter... This matter has not been clarified yet, and we cannot directly say that the prince secretly instigated it." Wiping the cold sweat on his head, the emperor apologized with an embarrassed smile, "You are brothers, how could he hurt you regardless of brotherhood?
A murderer? In my opinion, someone must be causing trouble to drive a wedge between you brothers."
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and cast a provocative gaze at Yi Huaiyu. The latter raised the corners of his lips and smiled even colder: "Oh, does your father think so? My son has a different view. Everyone says that when a person is about to die, his words are also kind.
, Xu Yi is an old friend of the crown prince's brother, and he has always been very close to the prince. I really can't figure out why Xu Yi persisted even when he was about to die, claiming that all his actions were ordered by the prince. It would be too much to turn against him.
absurd."
"I also feel that this matter cannot be ignored. The second prince led troops to fight outside and made countless contributions to our Dayao. However, there are people who are jealous of the second prince's achievements and want to do evil things. This is my Dayao's misfortune, and it is also the fault of my court.
It’s dangerous!”
Some ministers from the war faction came forward to support Yi Huaiyu, and then some ministers from the war faction came to argue. The festive atmosphere exaggerated by the victory suddenly disappeared, and only the whole hall was left shouting and criticizing each other.
"Insolent! What kind of behavior is there in the court! You, you--" In the commotion, the emperor slapped the dragon chair heavily and shouted loudly. However, before he could finish speaking, the emperor rolled his eyes and fell back, frightening Wen and Wu.
All the officials were as silent as cicadas, and the accompanying father-in-law kept shouting in surprise, and the court was in chaos.
The emperor of Yaoguo was seriously ill. He was seriously ill and could not attend court to attend to the affairs of state. He could not even meet with his ministers.
When the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian were enjoying tea leisurely at the General's Mansion. Opposite them were the second prince of Yaoguo and his confidant Ou Suiliang, who looked calm.
"Your Majesty is pretending to be sick to hide from His Highness!" Yao Junxian blew the hot air from the cup and snorted in a weird voice, "I'm worried that the people will rebel, so I don't dare to touch His Highness, but I don't want to really hold the Crown Prince accountable and deprive him of his position as Crown Prince.
, it’s really difficult for the emperor to hold back and hold back to come up with such a damaging move.”
Yi Huaiyu smiled lightly and raised the tea cup to his lips: "Then it depends on how long Father can hide. The defeated Zhao Kingdom leader this time is Bai Jingfu and his disciple. Even if Bai Jingfu can swallow this breath, his student
How can I meet King Zhao with a face? I can't imagine that in half a year, when the military strength there is almost fully adjusted and restored, people seeking revenge will come to the door. At that time, whether my father is willing or not, he will still have to rely on me to protect his country and the country.
, he will have to agree to any conditions you want to put forward at that time."
"Since Your Highness is so sure, why not explain it to the emperor and force him to dethrone the crown prince and re-establish him, or simply hand over the throne directly?" Sima Yuan was confused and looked at Yi Huaiyu in confusion.
Yi Huaiyu was born with arrogance, and he was always direct when he spoke. What he said just now was quite treasonous. Ou Suiliang was afraid that he would say something earth-shattering again and cause trouble, so he had no choice but to take over the conversation first: "Prince
Jealous but cowardly and weak, this coincides with the emperor's attitude of seeking peace in order to protect the throne and does not hesitate to cede territory and pay tribute. Therefore, the emperor has always loved the prince and hated alienating his highness. You can hear it from the few words the emperor said to the emperor,
If His Highness's attitude softens or regresses, then this matter will be settled. The Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince, and His Highness is still an unfavored foil. Now many ministers in the court are dissatisfied with the Emperor's attitude. After several battles, the people
Rumors about His Highness’ ascendancy have also begun to surface. In other words, His Highness is now occupying the hearts of the people——”
"Therefore, there is no need for me to rush to fight for the throne. If I push too hard, my image of defending my family and country will only change into the image of a villain who will do whatever it takes to seize the throne." Yi Huaiyu interrupted Ou Suiliang in excitement and took a sip of tea.
, snorted, "Now that General Sima and Master Yao are helping me, and the people's support is what they want, all I lack is opportunity. Now is the time to get rid of the oppression of Zhao State and become a powerful country. Why not take advantage of this opportunity?"
To make new achievements and consolidate my position in the hearts of the people and ministers?"
As long as the prince continues to be incompetent and mediocre, then the throne will naturally belong to him and he cannot escape.
After listening to the two explanations, Sima Yuan showed a look of enlightenment and nodded repeatedly in praise, but Yao Junxian remained calm, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I am indeed right, your highness has the spirit of a true dragon, the emperor's destiny, the distant country... no
, the entire Zhongzhou belongs to none other than His Highness."
Yao Junxian was also considered an important civil servant with many disciples in Yao State. He was a shrewd and visionary person, and not many people could praise him. Yi Huaiyu saw that there was something in Yao Junxian's words, so he simply put down his tea cup and looked back at Yao Junxian: "Master Yao and
General Sima is a straightforward person, so I will say it straight to the point - we both know the matter between Yun'er and I, and Miss Sima is the daughter of two wealthy families, so it is really inappropriate for her to marry me. Suiliang
He has been with me for many years and is both a confidant and a good friend. I can guarantee with my life that he will never treat Miss Sima badly. If Mr. Yao and General Sima are willing, I would like to sell my face and propose marriage to Miss Sima on Suiliang's behalf. I don't know.
What do you think of it?"
Knowing that Yi Huaiyu and Ou Suiliang were coming, Yao Junxian sent Sima Tulan away early in the morning in order to talk about the marriage. Seeing that Yi Huaiyu did not beat around the bush, he did not have to prepare a basket of hints.
Hu Hu laughed three times, Yao Junxian patted the anxious Sima Yuan on the shoulder, and looked at him to calm down: "Yuan'er and I just want to find a good husband for Tu'er, as long as he can love her and protect her, but not necessarily
He must be a prince, general or prime minister. Mr. I - ha, I almost forgot, now I should call you General. General I am young, promising and of good character, so I can marry people like Tu'er and General I.
I’m just happy!”
So, this long marriage is settled, right?
Ou Suiliang couldn't be happy anymore, and he couldn't listen to the false greetings of the other three people. He turned his head and looked out out of boredom, and saw the lonely figure in the corner disappearing in a flash, and he followed it by mistake.
