Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Lord Yang sighed, "Old Master, let's not beat around the bush and tell you the truth. His Majesty just summoned us to the palace to ask us to draft an imperial edict... To depose the crown prince, what do you think about this matter, Old Master?"

Dethrone? Old Master Wei frowned, "Your Majesty has actually gone to this extent? Didn't you stop him?"

Anyone with a brain should know that the crown prince cannot be deposed at this time. Not to mention that the Sixth Prince has done nothing wrong, given the condition of His Majesty's health, deposing the crown prince is a matter of family, country and the world, and will cause great turmoil at any time. Don't you understand this truth?

"Why didn't you stop it? Your Majesty is stubborn." said one of the ministers.

Old Master Wei speculated that the reason why the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince must be that he thought the Sixth Prince and Li Yuyan had conspired against him, "Why do you want to depose the crown prince?"

"On the grounds that the Sixth Prince was disobedient."

"Confused!" Old Master Wei cursed. Even if he wanted to get angry, he shouldn't play around with the matter of deposing the crown prince.

Several court ministers were sweating profusely. They had gathered together with the old grandfather to discuss the issue of deposing the crown prince. In fact, they had a vague intention to resolutely oppose the emperor. Even so, they all felt that this was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. They never thought that all of them were more courageous than Old Master Wei, and they all started cursing.

"You guys go first, the old man will have a chat with the Sixth Prince." said Old Master Wei.

This is the best! All the ministers in the court breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't need to participate.

After sending them away, Old Master Wei and Uncle Hai went to invite Master Xiao and the Sixth Prince.

Outside, the sun was setting slowly in the west, and the endless sky was dark blue. Uncle Xiao and the Sixth Prince appeared at the Wei family's house one after another, and they talked about something with Old Master Wei in the house.

This conversation lasted for a long time, and when the Sixth Prince came out, it was already late at night.

He seemed to be able to hear the voices of Old Master Wei and Uncle Xiao in his ears.

"Your Majesty has long been very stupid. If he is allowed to issue decrees at will, bad things will happen to the Tang Dynasty in the future. Your Highness, Your Majesty, you can no longer turn a deaf ear to it."

"You don't want to completely abandon Your Majesty like the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, but Your Majesty today is no longer the same as before."

"For the common people of the world, for the Tang Dynasty..."

"..."

No matter what, he wants him to force Your Majesty to give up the throne naturally!

The Sixth Prince sighed. He didn't want to openly rebel against his Majesty, but deep down in his heart he actually agreed with Old Master Wei's opinion.

Your Majesty is already old...

Just like what Old Master Wei said, for the sake of world peace, your Majesty's decree to depose the crown prince must not be made public. This is not just his petty thoughts, it's for the sake of the common people of the world.

The Sixth Prince persuaded himself and continued to walk forward with increasingly resolute steps.

Inside the room, Old Master Wei and Master Xiao looked at each other, and Master Xiao said, "I had already predicted that this day would come."

"It's easy to be wise after the fact!" Old Master Wei snorted disdainfully, "Why didn't you tell me before this?"

Master Xiao Guojiu raised his legs and said, "The emperor will faint from your anger."

"For the Tang Dynasty, he was so angry that he fainted. The old man has no feasible solution." Old Master Wei said lightly.

Master Xiao Guojiu laughed.

The next day, the emperor's spirit was unexpectedly better than the first few days. He began to suspect that what Li Yuyan gave him to eat was not a strong poison, but if it was not a strong poison, what could it be?

The day before, after Li Yuyan left, he immediately summoned all the imperial doctors to take his pulse meticulously, but did not find any serious problems. Therefore, the emperor was not very panicked. However, he felt that the Sixth Prince was in cahoots with Li Yuyan and must want him to die sooner.

With the careful support of two young palace maids, the emperor attended another morning court session. He looked at the ministers below, and then glanced directly at the Sixth Prince on the side. For some reason, he seemed unable to see through those people.

"Announce the decree." He no longer looked at the Sixth Prince, and opened his mouth without any hesitation in his heart.

In the court, one could hear a pin drop. The official holding the imperial edict hung his head and said nothing.

The emperor said angrily, "I want you to announce the decree!"

"Your Majesty, please do not get angry and take good care of yourself." Old Master Wei's voice came from outside, and his tall body gradually appeared beside the emperor.

The emperor couldn't see through his appearance, but he could tell it was his voice. Why did Wei Zuzhan appear here? The emperor's face was very gloomy and pale.

Many officials in power followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."

"The crown prince is disobedient, deceiving the emperor and concealing secrets. I will depose him!" The emperor hissed and opened his mouth.

Old Master Wei said, "How can we just abandon the important position of heir to the throne? The crown prince has a distinguished appearance, is naturally brave, and is intelligent. He has made countless contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. He is the most suitable candidate among the numerous princes."

Before the emperor opened his mouth, the old man said, "Your Majesty is very weak, so you should spend your remaining years in the harem. It would be better to let the prince handle all the complicated matters of the family, the country and the world."

The emperor was furious, "Wei Zuzhan, you are forcing me to give up the throne naturally!"

"This old minister is concerned about the health of the emperor." Old Master Wei said in a serious tone.

"Do you also want to force me to be humble and kind and give up my seat?" The emperor opened his bright eyes and looked at these officials who had no words to say.

Lord Yang knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, we are here for your health."

The emperor was so angry that his whole body was trembling. The magical veins on his forehead kept popping out. He looked directly at the Sixth Prince, "What about you? Do you also want me to let nature take its course and give up the throne?"

The Sixth Prince bowed his head. If he answered no, he would be sorry for all the ministers who took risks for him at this time. If he answered yes, he would truly become disloyal and unfilial, no different from the former crown prince and the fourth prince.

So he just knelt there and said nothing.

Sometimes saying nothing can represent an attitude of action.

The emperor was furious. He stared at Old Master Wei and said, "Come here, take Wei Zuzhan to prison for me. Take... take those traitors who betrayed their master and put them in prison for me."

None of the imperial guards outside the palace responded to the order.

Old Master Wei stood straight in the solemn main hall, his eyes calm and composed. He was not at all nervous about the emperor's raging rage, and looked like he had everything under control.
