The Invincible Sixth Prince

"Your Majesty, this must never be done!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

When they came to their senses, all the ministers began to advise him.

"I have made up my mind! There is no need to discuss this matter further!"

Emperor Wen had a determined look on his face. "The Northwest Protectorate is also the territory of Daqian. Why can't I go there? It just so happens that I want to go to Wolf God Mountain in Beihuan to offer sacrifices to the heavens! I just don't believe that the rebellious son dares to risk the world's condemnation and kill his father!"

Xu Shifu was anxious and tried to persuade him again: "Although the Sixth Prince dare not kill his father, what if..."

"Nothing will happen!"

Emperor Wen slowly stood up and said, "Today, I will personally write an imperial decree in front of all the civil and military officials in the court! From now on, Xu Shifu, Xiao Wanchou, Gu Xiu, and Tang Shu will serve as regents. If I don't return before the end of the year, the crown prince will ascend the throne!"

boom!

Emperor Wen's words undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in everyone's mind again.

Is Emperor Wen ready to die in Shuobei?

Emperor Wen ignored his stunned ministers and directly asked Mu Shun to bring the four treasures of the study and write the imperial edict in person in front of his ministers.

The ministers wanted to advise the emperor, but they didn't know how.

Yun Li, Xu Shifu and others had been worried that Yun Zheng would detain Emperor Wen, but at this moment, all their worries were gone.

Emperor Wen picked up his pen and wrote quickly. After a moment, he looked up at his ministers and said, "If there is anyone among you who supports Lao Liu, you can tell him my decision! I want to see if he dares to take my life!"

After saying this, Emperor Wen lowered his head again and wrote furiously.

After writing the imperial edict, Emperor Wen personally stamped it with the imperial seal, and then asked Mu Shun to take the imperial edict to show the ministers so that they all knew the authenticity of the edict.

Looking at the imperial edict in Mu Shun's hand, the ministers were speechless.

Emperor Wen had already prepared for the worst.

No matter how much they advised, it was of no use.

Afterwards, Emperor Wen handed the throne to Yun Li in front of all the court officials.

Yun Li took the imperial edict with mixed emotions, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

On the one hand, he hoped that Emperor Wen would never return.

In this way, with the imperial edict written by Emperor Wen, he could ascend the throne legitimately.

But on the other hand, he didn't dare to ascend the throne.

He knew in his heart that as soon as he ascended the throne, Yun Zheng would rebel!

Under the current circumstances, being the Crown Prince Regent is the most suitable position for him.

He has power that is almost equivalent to that of the emperor, but will not irritate Yun Zheng.

It’s a fine balance!

But once something happens to Emperor Wen, this balance will be broken!

"From now on, Xiao Wanchou will serve as the Minister of War!"

Emperor Wen immediately announced his decision, and before Xiao Wanchou could accept his order and thank him, he waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, let's adjourn the court! Prince, follow me!"

"Your humble servant... accepts your order and thanks you!"

It was not until this moment that Xiao Wanchou finally woke up from his dream and reacted.

Looking at the father and son leaving, the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yun Ting and the others looked at each other silently, and saw resentment and anger in each other's eyes.

After leaving the court, Emperor Wen took Yun Li to his study.

"Do you know why I want Xiao Wanchou to be the Minister of War?"

As soon as he entered the study, Emperor Wen began to test Yun Li.

Yun Li thought for a moment, then replied respectfully, "Father knows that Duke Yuguo and my uncle are not on good terms, and he wants to use Xiao Wanchou to check and balance my uncle."

"That's right, it's not in vain that I have been supervising the country for such a long time!"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li approvingly. "You are still young and inexperienced. I am afraid you can't control those old foxes! In addition, if you ascend the throne, you can further enhance Gu Xiu's voice in the court..."

Emperor Wen patiently taught Yun Li.

Employ descendants rather than the mother's family.

This is the blood and tears lesson learned by emperors of all dynasties.

There are many emperors in history who were marginalized by their mother's family, but few who were marginalized by their descendants' family.

"Thank you for your teachings, Father!"

Yun Li bowed and saluted, "Father, do you really have to inspect the Northwest Protectorate?"

"If I don't go, I'm afraid it won't work." Emperor Wen sighed softly, "Now, most of the generals in the court can no longer be relied on! I can only count on Dugu Ce and Qin Qihu! In addition, I really want to go to Wolf God Mountain to offer sacrifices to the heavens in my lifetime. This can also be regarded as my obsession!"

Yun Li opened his mouth slightly, but his throat felt blocked.

For a moment, Yun Li didn't know what to say.

"This matter has been settled, there is no need to discuss it anymore!"

Emperor Wen glanced at Yun Li and then asked, "Tell me again, why did I put Xue Che in the Heavenly Prison?"

"This……"

Yun Li was puzzled, "Didn't the emperor want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys?"

"Xue Che is a talented general and loyal to the court! Even if we want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, there is no need to throw Xue Che into the prison." Emperor Wen shook his head and smiled, "Think about it later!"

Isn't that true?

Yun Li racked his brains to think.

If not killing the chicken to scare the monkey, what else could it be?

As he was thinking, Yun Li's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that Father wants to help me win Xue Che's heart?"

"correct!"

Emperor Wen nodded in satisfaction. "Compared to Xiao Wanchou, Xue Che is more upright! I will be the villain, and you will be the wise leader! If you can win his heart, it will be of great benefit to your control of the army."

Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li's eyes turned red and he knelt down with a bang.

"Your Majesty, I bow to thank you!"

Yun Li was so moved that he burst into tears.

Father, you always think of me!

He has arranged a lot of things for me!

"Get up!"

Emperor Wen sighed softly, and looked at Yun Li with burning eyes, "Third brother, I can give you everything I can, but I have one request, you must agree to it!"

Yun Li was so moved that he blurted out, "Whatever your Majesty's request is, I will agree to it!"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li with a complicated expression, "When you ascend the throne in the future, you can suppress your brothers, but I hope you can leave them a way out! Even if you have to banish them to remote places to be kings, that's fine."

That's it!

Yun Li suddenly realized what was going on and immediately acted sincere, "I swear to heaven that I will never use force against my second brother and his men! Otherwise, I will be killed without a complete body!"

Instead of using weapons, can't we use white silk or poisoned wine?

Yun Li's little abacus was clacking in his mind.

"Remember your words!"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li with satisfaction and said, "Okay, go ahead and get busy! I have to get ready too."

"Your son...I'll take my leave!"

After Yun Li bowed respectfully, he left with mixed feelings.

After Yun Li left, Emperor Wen went to the Heavenly Prison.

After letting the irrelevant people leave, Emperor Wen said to Xue Che with an apologetic look on his face: "My dear Xue, I am sorry for wronging you this time!"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind!"

Xue Che's face was full of smiles, and he did not feel the loss of being a prisoner at all. "Your Majesty is going to Shuobei, and the situation in the court will definitely become more complicated! Duke Yu is indeed more suitable to be in charge of the court than the old minister."

This was a big show they had planned long ago.

One of the purposes was to naturally return the position of Minister of War to Xiao Wanchou.

Emperor Wen smiled with relief and continued, "After I leave the Imperial City, the Third Brother will find a suitable excuse to release you and re-employ you! The safety of the Imperial City is in your hands, my dear minister!"

"Weak ministers will definitely live up to their orders!"

Xue Che bowed and solemnly promised...
