Marry a Duke

Emperor Tianyuan suppressed his anger, and he had not yet said the most important sentence.

If it weren't for Wei Xuan, Dayue and Daliang would still be at war, and the border would be in constant flames. Would the people of Dayue Dynasty still be able to live a peaceful life? I'm afraid they are still in dire straits.

As an emperor, how could he sit back and relax?

Wei Xuan helped him quell the foreign threat.

But it gave rise to the internal problem of the eldest princess.

"You have been timid since childhood." The eldest princess could no longer control the contempt in her tone. She looked down on her younger brother who had no courage at all.

"Ayue, as the ruler of a country, so many people have spent so much energy and their lives to push you to the top, but what have you done? You have disappointed me so much. I had no choice but to do this. You can't blame me."

The princess completely denied all responsibility for her crime.

The fault lies with Emperor Tianyuan.

She has been brainwashing him since he was a child.

When she seized the throne, she was also brainwashing him. Everything she did was for him. In the final analysis, she did it for herself. If another prince ascended the throne.

She and Emperor Tianyuan are doomed to die.

She was just trying to save herself and find a future for herself.

There was a flash of pain in Emperor Tianyuan's eyes.

Perhaps he really shouldn't have been an emperor. He wanted to be a wise ruler who would go down in history, but in the end, he became a joke.

Thousands of years later, when people talk about Emperor Tianyuan, they will only think that he was an incompetent and inactive monarch.

"My sister has always treated me as her younger brother, but she never thought that one day, I would grow up and become the ruler of a country. I gave my sister everything she wanted, but why is she still not satisfied?"

Emperor Tianyuan muttered to himself.

"It's all my fault. I wasn't ruthless enough."

Wei Xuan had reminded him at the beginning that if he didn't control the eldest princess's arrogance, one day, the flames would burn him.

He ignored it. He felt that the best situation was to let his imperial sister and Wei Xuan check and balance each other.

Now it seems that he was short-sighted.

He thought too highly of everything.

"Your Majesty, don't think about anything else. As long as you are a good emperor and do what your sister says, you will still be loved by the world, and I will not make you too sad."

What she meant was that she would give him a fixed amount of red stone powder.

So that he won't suffer from not being able to obtain the red stone hair.

"What about the ministers?"

"As long as they are obedient, they will get what they deserve. What I want to do is not to kill them." But to make them obedient.

Emperor Tianyuan had completely given up.

I just hope Wei Xuan can think of a solution quickly.

Save the Dayue Dynasty, otherwise, the world will be in chaos, the people will suffer, and his throne will be over.

Emperor Tianyuan couldn't sleep day and night.

Even after taking the red stone powder, he was still too worried about the current predicament.

The imperial doctors had no choice but to prescribe tranquilizing medicine for him, but it was not very effective.

Half a month later, Emperor Tianyuan came to court again.

All the civil and military officials in the court were frightened when they saw Emperor Tianyuan.

Not long ago, Emperor Tianyuan seemed like a completely different person, with a thin body and a unclear look in his eyes.

The eldest princess also attended the court.

An additional throne was placed at the lower left of the imperial throne.

"Princess Chang has devoted herself to Dayue. From today on, Princess Chang will be allowed to take charge of government affairs."

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, everyone was in an uproar.

Those who were given the Red Stone Powder by the eldest princess were very calm. They knew too well the pain caused by the Red Stone Powder and that Emperor Tianyuan could not resist it at all.

Those who were lucky enough not to be poisoned by the red stone powder had already noticed that something was wrong.

If this continues, the court will probably be in chaos.

Wei Xuan was also in the court.

He looked indifferent.

He did not look at the eldest princess.

After the court was dismissed, Emperor Tianyuan kept Wei Xuan.

The eldest princess looked unhappy, but she didn't insist on following.

Emperor Tianyuan met Wei Xuan in the imperial study.

"Wei Qing, can you find the location of the Red Stone Powder?" Emperor Tianyuan was tired, really tired.

He now felt like a puppet on a string.

Do everything according to the emperor sister's instructions step by step.

What the imperial sister wants is a marionette.

After his death, his son continued to be her puppet.

Whenever Emperor Tianyuan thought of it, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

He had always known how strong and cruel the eldest princess's temperament was, and she could be ruthless even to her closest relatives.

He just always felt that she was cruel to others, but sincere to him.

Now I realize how ridiculous such an idea is.

"We have found the exact location. However, the princess has sent someone to guard it. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we need to make careful arrangements to replace all the red stone powder." Wei Xuan said.

In fact, the red stone powder has already been replaced.

Except for a small box of red stone powder at the entrance, which is real and weighs no more than two kilograms, the rest have been replaced with other similar powders.

The eldest princess was cautious and hid in a secret place, where she was guarded by several mute slaves who had been poisoned and had good skills.

It took them a lot of effort to set up a mechanism there.

Several people were injured before they were able to successfully enter and replace him.

"It's good that you found it." Emperor Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Wei Xuan, I regret not listening to you at the beginning. When you replace the red stone powder, I will issue an order to execute the princess."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Third Prince is still in the hands of the Princess. After all, he is already the Crown Prince."

"I don't need this son--." Emperor Tianyuan was furious. Thinking of the dead Concubine Hui, the third prince was controlled by the eldest princess and was no longer his son.

"I will have another son, Wei Xuan. My government affairs cannot be controlled by the eldest princess. Now, I can only rely on you. If the court is really turbulent, the border will also be turbulent. The Great Yue Dynasty will be unstable and the people will suffer."

Emperor Tianyuan looked deeply distressed.

"It's my fault. I was too indecisive. If I had made the decision earlier, I wouldn't have come to this."

Emperor Tianyuan asked Eunuch Liu to take out a token.

"This token is in your hands. You can mobilize the Imperial Guard, the City Defense Army, and the Divine Guard Battalion. I know that some people in the court have been forced to join the Princess. You can exercise your power to mobilize troops and directly encircle and suppress them when necessary."

Eunuch Liu respectfully handed the token to Wei Xuan.

"Duke Weiguo, the heavy responsibility is entrusted to you."

Wei Xuan reached out and took the token.

At this moment, the door of the imperial study was pushed open.

On the way back to the harem, the eldest princess thought about it again and again and felt uneasy.

Wei Xuan is not under her control. With Wei Xuan's ability, he might be planning something with the emperor.

She can't suffer.

"What did the emperor give you?" The eldest princess was sharp-eyed and had already seen Eunuch Liu handing something to Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan calmly put the token into his arms.

"It's a gift from the Emperor, the Princess doesn't need to know." He refused outright.

The eldest princess raised her chin proudly and glared at Emperor Tianyuan.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can take back your order. No matter what you gave, it is not suitable for Wei Xuan."
