"Brother, do you really intend to make my child the crown prince?" Chi Chang looked at Chi Yuan in shock.
Chi Yuan nodded emphatically, indicating that it was true.
"What about An'an?" Chi Chang frowned.
“He’s not cut out to be an emperor.” Chi Yuan gently put down the memorial and shook his head.
She really can't be one. She's so young, all she does is ask her grandma for drinks every day and then beg for lots of sparkly things.
"Brother, you don't want Qi Dynasty to decline, do you?"
“But…being an emperor is very hard…” Chi Chang said to Chi Yuan in a troubled voice, his voice growing softer and softer.
"It's alright, Wanfu is so smart, I'm sure he can do it," Chi Yuan encouraged with a smile.
“I also found him two tutors.”
"Who is it?" Ji Chang asked curiously.
"With Shen Bijun and An Youping around, you can rest assured. Wanfu will definitely be a rare and wise ruler."
Ji Chang thought about it and agreed.
He hesitated for a few seconds, but finally agreed.
At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside, and Shen Bijun rushed into the main hall.
Even the humble father-in-law couldn't stop him.
"What urgent matter do you have to discuss, my dear minister?"
Chi Yuan looked at Shen Bijue, who had an angry expression, and felt a little strange.
"I once said that my father died early, but I have found him today."
Shen Bijue lifted his robe and knelt down directly.
Chi Yuan was stunned.
"Who?" Ji Chang asked curiously.
"Prime Minister Shen of the current dynasty."
"Hiss..." Chi Chang gasped, glancing at Shen Bijue and then at Chi Yuan.
Damn, this world is just a giant makeshift operation.
"So you mean..." Chi Chang looked at Chi Yuan, who remained silent for a long time, and tentatively asked.
"I wish to file a complaint against Prime Minister Shen."
"The first crime is that when a woman is not married, he seduces her into sexual relations, which is utterly shameless."
"Second crime: He defiled a woman's chastity and then fled, which shows a complete lack of responsibility."
“Three crimes: to commit such a despicable act under the emperor’s nose. Qi Dynasty is a country that highly values etiquette and law. Prime Minister Shen’s behavior is truly unworthy of his position.”
“Um…” Chi Chang hesitated, feeling a bit awkward. He turned to look at Chi Yuan, wanting to see what he thought.
"Although Prime Minister Shen said that this matter was a mistake, we cannot completely deny the contributions it has made to the Qi Dynasty over the past few decades."
Chi Yuan spoke slowly.
Shen Bijue's heart sank. Was it really so unfair?
"However, for your sake, I can give you some options."
Shen Bijue suddenly looked up. "What choice do I have?"
"From this day forward, you and An Youping are appointed as Grand Tutors to the Crown Prince, and are granted ten thousand taels of gold and a mansion in the capital."
"Furthermore, from today onwards, I intend to divide the position of Chancellor into two positions, Left and Right. You are hereby granted the position of Right Chancellor, which is equivalent to that of Chancellor Shen. What do you think?"
Chi Yuan slowly revealed the ending he had discussed with Shen Yulou.
When Chi Yuan learned about this matter, he guessed that this day would come. The truth could not be hidden forever, so he discussed it with Shen Yulou for a long time before deciding on a solution.
In the Qi Dynasty, the left was considered superior. According to this, Prime Minister Shen would actually have more power, but Shen Bijue also served as Grand Tutor.
It's hard to say who has a higher or lower status in this regard.
This way, Prime Minister Shen was not severely damaged, but he was still punished.
This will not discourage Shen Bijue, and will also give him better rights.
Shen Bijue fixed her gaze and kowtowed heavily to Chi Yuan.
He knew this was the best concession Chi Yuan could make, even reforming an official position for him, thus elevating himself to a higher rank.
Although His Majesty must have had this idea for a long time, he was just using it to his advantage.
However, a subject must always remember his duty. Your Majesty's willingness to make concessions for a subject is already a great reward.
However... Prime Minister Shen's days in the court will not be easy from now on.
Shen Bijue was already thinking about how to utterly humiliate the old Prime Minister Shen in court.
"Furthermore, I would like to request another favor."
"speak"
"Prime Minister Shen already knows about this matter. Once His Majesty issues an edict, I'm afraid the entire Qi Dynasty will know."
"Lambs kneel to suckle, ducks feed their parents. Prime Minister Shen has never raised me in any way, so I don't expect him to be filial to me."
"Your humble servant wishes to establish his own independent entity."
Shen Bijue took a deep breath and stated her request.
“Okay,” Chi Yuan agreed.
This is indeed a good choice for both parties.
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty." Shen Bijue bowed again, took the imperial edict, and left.
And so began a busy life where Chi Yuan suffered from headaches every day, Prime Minister Shen was furious every day, and all the officials were hesitant and afraid of being scolded half to death by Shen Bijue when he was at full power.
