The ministers were even more surprised to hear this. Did they discuss this with Marquis Chang Yong? Everyone knew about the little things that happened in Marquis Chang Yong's family. Although their family was very popular now, the father and son were not in harmony, and the husband and wife were not in harmony. This was known to everyone.

It's just that no one has exposed what is in the open.

This time, after Prince Nangong woke up from his coma, he seemed like a different person. He actually started to take care of the affairs of the Changyong Marquis' family and even replaced the head of the family.

Anyone with common sense knows that this should have been done long ago.

But why do it now?

Nangong Yu replied, and the emperor looked at Nangong Su again:

"Did Lord Chang Yong agree to this as well?"

In fact, he didn't believe that Lord Changyong agreed. He didn't say that he knew about Nangong Yu's family affairs, but he at least knew 90 percent of it.

He glanced at Grand Scholar Xie and understood that if Nangong Su really agreed, it might be because Grand Scholar Xie came.

Nangong Su originally wanted to pretend that he didn't know, but when the emperor called him out, he had no choice but to stand up:

"Your Majesty, I agree."

Everyone was even more confused. What kind of riddle were these father and son playing with the emperor?

The emperor took up the memorial again and read it, then said:

"When Emperor Taizu conferred the title of Marquis of Changyong, he did confer it on the third generation of the title, but the late emperor had already established the position of the crown prince, which meant that the dynasty originally intended to let the Marquis of Changyong inherit the title."

After three dynasties, some old ministers remembered that Marquis Changyong was indeed conferred for three generations.

Then I thought, according to the rules, Nangong Yu should not be the crown prince, but the late emperor appointed Nangong Yu as the crown prince, which means that the late emperor really wanted the Marquis Changyong to inherit the title.

Some of the new officials were shocked: Marquis Changyong was not hereditary? Was it only granted to three generations?

Everyone looked at Nangong Su in surprise. Nangong Su was the peerless Marquis of Changyong.

Then, Nangong Yu...

Sure enough, I heard the emperor say:

"Now, the Crown Prince Nangong Yu has submitted a memorial requesting to resign from the title of Crown Prince. This puts me in a difficult position."

The adults standing in the front rows looked at each other in surprise, sharing their shocking information. The adults in the back rows were simply going wild.

Who doesn’t want the title to continue?

Why did Nangong Yu do this? Now that he was disabled, he still didn't want to keep the position of the prince. What was he trying to do?

Everyone is guessing.

Is it true that Nangong Yu will have no descendants? Is it because Nangong Yu can no longer stand up and therefore cannot enter the court, that he will be replaced by Nangong Su as the heir?

Nangong Su heard all the discussions of the people behind him, and some of the words were so direct that his face turned red.

They guessed that he wanted the illegitimate son to take the throne, and thus forced the legitimate son to give up the throne, because the legitimate son had no offspring.

Nangong Su couldn't argue with these adults in the court, as it was useless.

Nangong Su stepped out of the line, knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, Yu'er is now disabled, and I have inherited the merits of my grandfather, Marquis Changyong, and my father, Marquis Changyong. I am ashamed of the title bestowed by Your Majesty. When the late emperor conferred the title of Crown Prince on me, he saw that Yu'er was quite intelligent and had been by your side, so he agreed and conferred the title of Crown Prince on Nangong Yu."

"Now, Yu'er is disabled and cannot serve in the court. There is no one in the Nangong family who is willing to serve the court. If this title is continued, it will bring shame to our ancestors."

"So, after discussing with me, Yu'er decided to respect the order of our ancestor, the emperor, and the title of Marquis of Changyong will end after three generations. The title of Crown Prince will no longer be granted."

Nangong Su's words were so powerful that the court suddenly fell silent.

All their speculations seemed so funny after Nangong Su said that he would no longer request for the title of Crown Prince and that the Marquis of Changyong would end after three generations!

There have been cases in the past where a title was abdicated after three generations, but every family would start looking for ways to keep the title when there were still two generations left.

They used various unconventional methods, and sending their daughters to the palace was the most effective one.

But Marquis Chang Yong was retreating.

The late emperor clearly gave Nangong Yu the title of Crown Prince, which meant that he agreed to their succession to the title.

As the emperor's companion, and this time he saved the emperor from becoming disabled, this title would be guaranteed for at least three generations.

And everyone saw that Grand Secretary Xie attended the court.

Xie Daxueshi is Nangong Yu's uncle. He is also the emperor's tutor. He always kept this title, but now it is gone.

Even the ministers at the back were furious, but since this was a matter concerning the title of Marquis Changyong, they couldn't help but stand up and shout:

"My Lord, please think twice."

Although so many unpleasant things had happened between the two families, as the uncle of Lord Changyong, at this moment, what he was thinking about was what would happen to their families without Lord Changyong?

So, he stood up and said this, and glared at Chang Yonghou.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Chang Yong didn't even turn around to look at him. He hadn't had time to settle accounts with his uncle for the incident in which Jiang brought people to Marquis Chang Yong's house to smash and destroy things.

Nangong Yu said he would take over, and Marquis Chang Yong didn't get involved.

The emperor listened to Nangong Su's words, thought for a while and said:

"I need to think about this matter. However, I want to announce one thing today. All of you ministers know that Nangong Yu was injured for me, and now he is awake, but has some difficulty in moving. I will set a precedent for him. From now on, Nangong Yu will not be polite when he attends court, and he will sit until his leg is healed."

The Minister of Rites, Lord Hua, stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. According to the law..."

What he meant was that according to the law, officials must not be disabled. Although not all the people in the court were handsome and powerful, at least none of them had crooked noses or slanted eyes.

According to the law, this would be disgraceful.

A person with weak limbs cannot stand in the court.

The emperor's move has set a precedent, and naturally others will follow suit. Then how will the appearance in the court be appropriate?

But before he could finish his words, the emperor interrupted him and said:

"I understand what Lord Hua said. I will make another announcement today. From now on, students with only disabled legs and hands can still take the imperial examination. All the lords standing in this court are using their brains for the dynasty. I don't ask you to do any physical work."

"Of course, the martial arts exam still depends on power. In addition to martial arts and military tactics, one must also have various abilities to lead troops."

When these words were spoken, the adults became even more shocked.

The emperor actually wants to change the law for Nangong Yu.

The emperor no longer listened to their advice and directly said to Xie Daxueshi:

"Mr. Xie, when you study the law later, please write down what I just said in the new law. I know that many disabled people in this world are not without the ambition to serve the country, but they also have the talent to govern the country, but they are frustrated and frustrated."

Xie Daoru stepped out to respond:

"Your Majesty!"
