Chapter 960 As your nephew

King Yixuan did not know the minister who was with Pei Chuyan today, but since he was able to speak for Pei Chuyan, it meant that he had received Pei Chuyan's instruction.

He turned his head to look at Pei Chuyan beside him. Pei Chuyan just nodded at him respectfully and had no objection to this matter.

King Yixuan did not say anything more, but stepped aside to leave some space for Pei Chuyan and the ministers beside him: "In that case, let's go into the palace first and go to Yu's study, and we will discuss it in detail."

Now, for King Yixuan, only this study and his bedroom are the safest places.

When entering the palace, he was also worried that there might be people around who were eavesdropping on them.

After all, he took the position of supervising the government of the Dali Kingdom.

He was said to be the regent, but in reality he was the emperor.

There will definitely be people in the court ready to make moves.

So with the help of Princess Ui-seon, he replaced all the staff in the study and the servants around the bedroom.

Most of them were replaced by people they brought from Prince Yixuan's palace.

After saying this, King Yixuan walked forward quickly.

On the way, the couple looked at each other several times, but didn't say much else.

They didn't know the purpose of Pei Chuyan's visit, but they were full of expectations in their hearts.

Needless to say, they naturally hoped that Pei Chuyan could stay.

It is also hoped that the Great Chu State, which has always been on good terms with the Dali State, can provide some assistance to the Dali State in its time of crisis.

The few of them didn't speak until they entered Yu's study.

Perhaps because of his deep regard for Pei Chuyan, King Yixuan did not sit on his original chair, but sat on the side with Pei Chuyan.

Pei Chuyan glanced at the table and saw many memorials neatly placed there, and he seemed to be able to smell a faint scent of ink.

It seems that King Yixuan is just as he thought, very dedicated to his work.

After King Yixuan took his seat, Pei Chuyan stood up and saluted slowly towards King Yixuan.

He did not simply bow as he did before.

Now he was bowing to the ground respectfully.

King Uiseon couldn't help but wanted to go forward to help him up, but was stopped by Queen Uiseon who was standing beside him.

She shook her head slightly at King Yixuan. She knew that since Pei Chuyan came this time and performed such a ceremony, it meant that he had important matters.

Before King Yixuan could react, Pei Chuyan's steady and powerful voice had already reached their ears.

"Greetings to King Uiseon and Queen Uiseon."

He looked at the two people in front of him with a burning gaze, as if he was making a very important decision: "I am not coming back as the prince of the Duke of Anguo of the Great Chu State, but as your nephew."

Pei Chuyan's words naturally hit the calm hearts of King Yixuan and his wife like a huge rock. They stared at each other with their eyes wide open.

It was hard to believe for a moment.

King Yixuan wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to say it.

Princess Yixuan was the first to react. She quickly stood up, a gleam in her eyes, and took a step forward, staring at Pei Chuyan in front of her with surprise.

She even forgot that Pei Chuyan was still kneeling on the ground and did not even help him up.

"So, are you going back to Dali Kingdom?" When saying this, there was even a slight tremor in Princess Yixuan's voice.

As if he couldn't believe his ears, he said this with a hint of anticipation.

She wanted to wait for Pei Chuyan to repeat what he said, or wait for him to make it clearer.

King Uiseon, who was standing by, also reacted and held Queen Uiseon's arm even tighter.

They looked at each other.

Pei Chuyan nodded solemnly, and continued calmly: "My Lord, Princess, I returned to Dali this time in the hope of helping you in government affairs."

"But now I think that the Dali Kingdom is doing very well under the governance of the two of you. I am willing to assist you."

You always have to say some polite words.

He couldn't just go straight to someone else's palace and demand that they hand over power directly to him.

Before coming, he had made some inquiries. Now, the Dali Kingdom was facing both internal and external troubles.

Needless to say, there were internal worries. First of all, there were the unresolved issues left by Li Cheng, which probably needed to be resolved one by one by King Yixuan.

As for this external threat.

There will always be wars between countries.

Maybe it's for food, or for land, or just for a chance to show off.

Now that the surrounding small countries have been quiet for too long and dare not take action against the Great Chu Kingdom and Yong'an County which is subordinate to the Great Chu Kingdom, they have set their sights on the Dali Kingdom, which is now in a somewhat chaotic state.

After all, the Dali Kingdom is now weak in military and poor in people.

If a powerful country takes this opportunity to invade, it may be able to replace it.

That's what they think.

"No! No! What's the point of helping or not helping?" Upon hearing this, King Yixuan became anxious. He stood up and waved his hands at Pei Chuyan, "It would be best if you could come back and take charge of the situation."

King Ui-seon was different from Bae Chu-yeon.

Since he was a prince, King Yixuan seldom participated in the court. Although he can cope with it now, it is still very difficult for him.

It is precisely because everyone in the court knows King Uixuan's temperament that some people are dissatisfied with him.

But Pei Chuyan is different.

Firstly, King Yixuan could see from Pei Chuyan's temperament that he was a man of great sensibility, and he believed that he would be able to handle the affairs of the court well.

Secondly, Pei Chuyan is the eldest royal brother's son after all, and there are many ministers in the court who have always supported the eldest royal brother.

When he said this, King Yixuan's eyes seemed to be shining.

He knew the influence of his eldest brother, and he also knew that Pei Chuyan was able to inherit his eldest brother's abilities.

This gave King Yixuan new hope.

Seeing the attitude of King Yixuan and his wife, Xia Ning's originally tense heartstrings relaxed.

To be honest, before coming here, he had been worried. He was worried that King Yixuan would be greedy for the throne and would not give it up.

He could understand the temptation of power.

Now seeing the reaction of King Uiseon and his wife, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.

After seeing that the people in front of him had calmed down, he took a step forward and bowed respectfully in the direction of King Yixuan and his wife: "Thank you for your understanding, King Yixuan and his wife."

"I am accompanying Prince Pei this time, not because my Great Chu State wants to take over the Great Li State."

Xia Ning wanted to make it clear, as he didn't want others to misunderstand the Emperor of Great Chu.

"I wonder if King Yixuan has noticed that the small countries around Dali Kingdom have been making moves recently."

"For the Dali Kingdom, this situation is truly unstable."

So what the Dali Kingdom needs now is a leader who can stabilize the situation.
