Chapter 3: The Lamp of the Bitter Sea, Master Zhang



"Mother, I have already said so."

"My royal brother is suspicious by nature, there's no way he'll let me return to my fiefdom."

"Discussing with the ministers is just an excuse. Don't you know who's in the court? Almost all of them are led by the Grand Tutor. Zhang Zhengming is very shrewd and will be the first to stop it!"

King Wei Yuanchuan of Yan walked forward, his tone filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

A prince said he stayed in the capital only to fulfill his filial duties.

But in fact, this is a disguised form of confinement.

He has lofty ambitions.

How could I be willing to be manipulated by others?

"How dare you! That's your brother, the Emperor of Wei. How can you speak so rebelliously?"

"I've told you so many times, your brother has his own difficulties, you have to understand him!"

Queen Mother Sun was furious. She slapped the table and scolded directly.

In front of Wei Yunyi, she was cautious and spoke in a gentle tone.

But it was not the case in front of his son.

Showing the true majesty of the Queen Mother.

"But I can't stay in the capital forever, right?"

"I am a member of the Wei royal family. I also want to contribute to the country and devote myself to the country. I want to achieve great things."

"But as long as I stay here, I won't be able to realize my ambitions."

Wei Yuanchuan spoke, with a hint of grievance in his words.

He was also very indignant in his heart, as he was also the son of the late emperor.

Why was the other party appointed as the crown prince shortly after he was born?

And he, a mere prince, was confined to the capital? He always felt it was unfair.

Especially as time went by, Wei Yuanchuan had more and more thoughts like this and began to develop other emotions.

As his biological mother, Empress Dowager Sun naturally saw this too. She sighed, her face softening as she spoke, "I know all about your ambitions, but you must remember that he is your elder brother, and we are related by blood. All you need to do is to assist him wholeheartedly."

"Don't worry, the emperor is a soft-hearted man. He will let you go back out of friendship."

"I don't understand why you always speak for my brother."

Although Wei Yuanchuan has always listened to Empress Dowager Sun since he was a child.

But he still didn't understand.

As a biological mother, why do you always side with others?

Especially as long as he showed the slightest dissatisfaction towards his royal brother, the first thing he would say was basically a scolding.

All of this made Wei Yuanchuan doubt who his biological son was.

His words made Empress Dowager Sun fall into reminiscence, and she continued to explain, "When I first entered the palace, everything went wrong and I was bullied by the concubines. If it weren't for my sister's support, how could I be where I am today?"

"Sister, you have a deep affection for me and care about everything. The Emperor is her only child. Why do you think that is?"

When these words came out, Wei Yuanchuan was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

"It's been so many years, why bring it up?" Empress Dowager Sun smiled and continued.

"I know that the emperor still harbors a grudge against me."

"But he's young, and he'll understand in the future."

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Sun's face was full of smiles.

He seems very confident about this.

"Your Majesty, your mother has good intentions. I understand."

When Wei Yuanchuan heard the old story, he suddenly felt less resentful towards his royal brother.

If it weren’t for the late queen, my mother’s situation would have been very difficult. If that were the case, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even know whether I would still be around in the future.

However, although the resentment has decreased, the feeling of unfairness still exists in my heart.

But because of what Empress Dowager Sun said, for some reason, he felt a little sympathy for Wei Yunyi, knowing that the other party had lost his biological mother since childhood, while he at least still had the love of his mother.

Of course, based on these alone, Wei Yuanchuan still felt that the other party would not let him go to the fiefdom.

At the same time, Wei Yunyi had returned to the bedroom.

Along the way, he was struggling with one question.

The question is whether to let King Yan leave or not.

I had intended to refer to the original novel’s perspective, but unfortunately, I don’t remember the plot very clearly.

After all, it has been so long that it is difficult to remember it all at once.

And so my heart began to feel conflicted again.

only.

This process did not last long before it was interrupted by a young eunuch in blue. The young eunuch knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has requested an audience. He said he has an urgent matter."

Grand Tutor? Is it... the Prime Minister Zhang Zhengming?

Hearing the young eunuch's words, Wei Yunyi's heart immediately moved and his eyes gradually became excited.

This person was the enlightenment teacher of my previous life. He was a very strong and strict person.

It was also the other party who had always demanded that the emperor should be diligent in his government affairs.

The previous incarnation had been reviewing memorials for several days in a row, which eventually caused him to become tired and sleepy, and then he fell into the water in the imperial garden.

At that time, the Grand Tutor not only did not apologize.

On the contrary, it is said that the emperor shoulders the responsibility of the country and can only grow through hardships.

Of course, the reason why Wei Yunyi was excited was not because he wanted to be abused, but for another reason.

This Taifu was not only a great Confucian scholar of the time who could contend for the third place and the first place, he also had a very high reputation and was very capable in governing the country. When the late emperor was still alive, he had initiated many measures and reforms, which greatly enhanced the national strength. The late emperor jokingly called him the number one think tank of the Wei Dynasty.

More importantly, in the original work, it was with the assistance of this person that the national strength reached its peak.

It is not an exaggeration to even call him a famous minister.

It can be said that as long as the country is governed according to the other party's opinions.

It is not difficult to become a wise ruler.

And what Wei Yunyi thought of was.

Wasn't he currently struggling with the King of Yan's affairs? Wouldn't it be enough to just ask him directly?
