Chapter 249: If you can't win him over, then kill him first
As he spoke, the emperor took out the Suzaku Military Token.
Everyone was shocked.
This is an army of 200,000 men!
It is the only army in Nanxin.
Throughout the dynasties, the Suzaku Army was firmly in the hands of the emperor himself and had never been handed over to anyone else.
Now that the emperor has given the Suzaku Army to Prince Changle, this is no different from directly appointing him as the crown prince!
Even Yi Wang and Yuan Gu were shocked.
"Father, my sixth brother is still young and has just returned home. Wouldn't it be too hasty to give him the Suzaku Army at this time?"
King Yi couldn't help but step forward and speak cautiously.
Yuan Gu looked like he was waiting to see a good show.
Since ancient times, haven’t brothers turned against each other and fathers and sons become enemies for the throne?
He particularly wanted to watch the drama between Prince Yi and Li Tianzhuo fighting for the throne.
But, let alone Li Tianzhuo, even Emperor Nan Xin would not do as he wished.
"Old Six is so talented. He just returned to China and solved the two most difficult problems of our Nanxin."
"In the future, I will need him to do more things for Nan Xin. What's wrong with giving him the Suzaku Army?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need for others to persuade me. I have made up my mind."
Emperor Nan Xin confirmed, and as he spoke, he handed the Suzaku Order to Li Tianzhuo.
The reason why he dared to be so decisive was that he believed in the child he personally raised.
Even if Li Tianzhuo hated him, even if he couldn't stand him, he would never do anything worse than a beast attacking him for the throne.
His emphasis on feelings is his son's shortcoming, but also his most valuable quality.
He was terminally ill and had not much time left. Among his children, only the sixth one could sit on the throne.
So, he had no choice!
"Thank you, Father. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
After Li Tianzhuo got the Suzaku Order, he tied the token directly around his waist.
"I will obey the orders of Prince Changle and follow His Majesty Prince Changle to clean up the filth in the court and protect Nanxin for thousands of years."
General Nangong in the hall knelt down hurriedly to show his loyalty.
Li Tianzhuo turned around and smiled at him with satisfaction.
As he turned his body, the token hanging on his waist shone brightly, like a rising sun, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Immediately, several veteran officials who had been in the government for a long time knelt down and shouted to Emperor Nan Xin and Li Tianzhuo:
"Long live the emperor."
"Live a thousand years, His Royal Highness Prince Changle."
When they shouted like this, all the ministers knelt down in unison. Even Yuan Gu knelt down reluctantly and followed suit.
There was only one King Yi left in the whole venue.
It was not right for him to kneel, but it would also seem out of place if he didn't kneel.
His identity as the eldest prince is really ironic.
At this time, Li Tianzhuo was standing slightly in front of Emperor Nan Xin, looking down at the court officials who were kneeling on the ground.
Emperor Nan Xin's eagle-like eyes, reflected through Li Tianzhuo's shoulders, also showed an attitude of looking down on everyone with pride.
After the morning court session ended, everyone dispersed.
Li Tianzhuo walked alone in the palace, but countless people who wanted to curry favor with him crowded around him.
The ministers all knew that he would be the next emperor. If they tried to curry favor with him now, he would be granted a title and appointed as prime minister as soon as the old emperor died and ascended the throne.
But Li Tianzhuo would not accept their bribes.
"I believe you all know my reputation in Dongji. Everyone, whether I am the commander of Dongji Silver Dragon Guard or the King of Nanxin Changle, you just need to do your own job well."
"I will definitely discover and recommend talented people and make use of them."
"I will not tolerate any grain of sand in the eyes of a person who has no talent and is thinking of crooked ideas!"
Li Tianzhuo's attitude and tone gave off a feeling of not wanting to kill someone.
When you get close to him, you can feel the icy aura emanating from him, which makes the ministers around him shiver.
After leaving his words, he left on his own.
The ministers did not dare to chase after him, for fear of angering the god.
"When he succeeds to the throne, we will suffer the consequences."
An old minister who was not afraid of death could not help but sigh.
"It seems that King Yi is gentle and Wang is pragmatic."
"The King of Changle has been away from the country for too long, and it is hard to figure him out at all."
A few people couldn't help but complain.
"No, even if we risk our lives, we must persuade His Majesty not to appoint such a person as the heir."
"If he gets the throne, I'm afraid he will hand over the entire Nanxin to Dongji!"
Since he is stubborn and cannot be won over, we should first find a way to kill him and bring him down from the pedestal.
Yuan Gu heard everything that everyone was talking about.
"Everyone, I think that Prince Yi is not fit for the throne. If His Royal Highness Prince Changle cannot ascend the throne, and the throne falls into the hands of an indecisive monarch like Prince Yi, I'm afraid that our Nanxin will be plundered by Dongji sooner or later."
Yuan Gu’s analysis is not without reason.
Prince Yi's personality is not suitable for being an emperor.
If not, why has he not made any progress after fighting with the King Si for so many years?
"I have a good idea and a more suitable candidate..."
Yuan Gu lowered his voice and told everyone about his plan.
In fact, he didn't care who would sit on Nan Xin's throne before.
However, ever since he met Deng Youning again outside the Ten Thousand Snake Valley, he could no longer help but care.
In order to snatch his senior sister away from Li Tianzhuo, he could only resort to this method that harmed others and did not benefit himself.
The throne of Nanxin does not necessarily have to be occupied by a member of the Li royal family.
In this world, and in the entire continent, there are not only two countries, Nanxin and Dongji.
"What?!"
"Young Marquis, this is truly a conspiracy to usurp the throne!"
"If we fail, all those involved will be killed along with their entire clan."
A middle-aged man who was not very courageous exclaimed.
The others also looked embarrassed.
They dared not even think about something that would cost the lives of the entire clan!
Yuan Gu smiled lightly with disdain:
"Are there any different species of kings, princes, generals or ministers?"
"If we fight hard, you and I can both become princes and nobles."
"If this is accomplished, the benefits will be unimaginable."
The danger is indeed great, but the corresponding rewards are beyond their imagination.
Perhaps rapid success is nothing.
That is a real change of dynasty!
"Young Marquis, this matter is of great importance. Please allow us to think about it carefully."
An elderly man spoke for everyone.
Yuan Gu showed an innocent smile on his face, "Think about it, don't miss this opportunity. After all, there are so many civil and military officials in the court, and I am not optimistic about everyone."
After leaving these words, he turned and left.
Of course, he had his reasons for choosing these people.
And he had a hunch that these people would eventually come to him for help.
After the king left the court, he went home first.
He needed to pick up Deng Xuelian and then go to the palace together to attend Emperor Nan Xin's family dinner.
*
According to the palace.
Deng Xuelian leaned on the imperial concubine's couch. In the past two days, she felt some pain in her lower abdomen, so she called the court doctor to take her pulse.
"How is it?"
She asked, looking up lazily.
"Miss Deng, have you ever had a miscarriage before? Did you lose the baby in the cold lake water?"
The court physician told the truth based on the pulse findings.
Deng Xuelian, whose veil was exposed, roared angrily, kicked the court doctor to the ground, and asked loudly:
"What nonsense?"
"I was innocent before I met King Yi!"
The court doctor was also stubborn and insisted on his diagnosis. He reminded:
"Girl, let me tell you the truth."
"Your disease has already taken root. You will never be able to have a child again in this life."
Deng Xuelian stared at him in disbelief.
"I am His Highness's woman. How dare you curse me to not be able to have a child? What is your intention?!"
"I will make the decision on behalf of His Highness and expel you from the house."
"Someone, get this old fool out of here. If His Royal Highness asks about it, I will take the blame alone."
She ordered.
