Chapter 209 Your sister-in-law is more important than the world
After Murong Xuanyi had breakfast, he went to the imperial study to handle daily court affairs. He sat in the imperial study for a long time. After reviewing the memorials, he picked up his pen and drafted an edict, ordering someone to send it immediately to the northwest, summoning the generals stationed in the northwest to return to the capital immediately to report.
He knew clearly that if he did not quickly pass on the message of recalling the Northwest Army generals, when Song Yanshu went to the Northwest to take over the Northwest Army power, there would certainly be a conflict between the two sides, and the situation would be difficult to resolve at that time.
After dealing with all the affairs, he set off for the Tenth Prince's Mansion. Most of the residences of the unpopular princes were located in streets far away from the palace, and the Tenth Prince's Mansion was no exception.
Murong Xuanyi arrived in front of the Tenth Prince's Mansion. The vermilion lacquered door was slightly mottled, and the copper ring on the door was slightly rusty, revealing a sense of loneliness that had been neglected for a long time.
Fang Yang stepped forward and raised his hand to ring the doorknob. After a while, the door creaked open slowly. A servant poked his head out and saw that it was Murong Xuanyi. He was stunned at first, then hurriedly saluted and respectfully welcomed him in.
Murong Xuanzhou has a day off today, but he is still handling the affairs of the Ministry of Works in his study. When he heard that Murong Xuanyi was coming, he quickly put down the pen in his hand and stood up to greet him.
"Fifth brother, why are you here?" Murong Xuanzhou's eyebrows were gentle, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Murong Xuanyi looked at his kind-hearted brother and said, "I came here today to discuss something important with you. Please send your attendants away."
After that, the two of them went into the study. After the servant served tea and left, Murong Xuanyi slowly said, "Xuanzhou, how do you feel about taking turns on duty in various departments during this period of time?
Murong Xuanzhou was slightly stunned, then smiled gently and said, "Fifth brother, I have learned a lot from the rotation of various departments. The affairs of each department are complicated and each has its own ways. I have gained a lot of knowledge, but sometimes I feel a little tired."
Murong Xuanyi nodded slightly, with a look of relief in his eyes: "It is natural to be exhausted. There are so many things to do in each department. It is already very good that you can persist and gain something. However, I came here today to tell you something more important."
Seeing Murong Xuanyi's serious expression, Murong Xuanzhou knew in his heart that this matter must be very serious, so he suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Fifth brother, please feel free to speak. Xuanzhou will listen carefully."
Murong Xuanyi's eyes became deep and serious, and he said slowly: "Xuanzhou, my father is seriously ill now, the court is in turmoil, various forces are undercurrents, the position of crown prince is undecided, and the princes are fighting openly and secretly."
Murong Xuanzhou's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He had never thought that these court struggles would be so complicated. He had always been immersed in the affairs of various departments and did not pay much attention to these disputes.
"Fifth brother, if that's the case, shouldn't we just ask Father to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible?"
Murong Xuanzhou asked with a puzzled look on his face. In his opinion, as long as his father decided on the candidate for the crown prince, the open and secret struggles in the court might be settled.
Murong Xuanyi sighed softly and shook his head slightly, saying, "Xuanzhou, it's not that simple. All the forces are fanning the flames behind the scenes, all wanting to support a prince who is beneficial to them to take the throne. Even if my father is determined to establish a crown prince, the choice may not be decided smoothly."
Murong Xuanzhou frowned, looking worried: "What should we do? If this continues, the court will be in chaos, which will be very detrimental to our country."
Murong Xuanyi looked at him with a deeper look in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Xuanzhou, Fifth Brother has thought about it and feels that you are the most suitable person to take on the position of Crown Prince.
You have a kind nature and care for the people of the world. You have served in various departments and have accumulated a lot of experience. More importantly, you don't have those intrigues. You will definitely be a good emperor in the future and make our Great Xia stable and prosperous."
Murong Xuanzhou was horrified when he heard this. He quickly stood up and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Fifth brother, this is absolutely not allowed! I know that I am not capable enough and have insufficient qualifications. How dare I covet the position of crown prince?"
Now, in the eyes of everyone, his fifth brother was the one who had the best chance of winning the throne. But now his fifth brother suddenly came to him and said something like this. Murong Xuanzhou couldn't help but feel a little shocked, thinking, is this his fifth brother testing him? He had always been indifferent since he was a child, and had never had any extravagant thoughts about the throne.
He only wanted to protect his mother and keep her safe in this complicated palace, and at the same time do what he could for the people of the world. He didn't want to get involved in the throne that was full of power struggles from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing this, Murong Xuanyi gently waved his hand, motioning him to sit down, with a firm and trusting tone: "Xuanzhou, don't rush to refuse. Fifth brother knows that you have no intention of competing for the throne, but because of this, you are more suitable. How many people in this palace can be as pure as you?"
Murong Xuanzhou's eyes were full of confusion and helplessness. He looked at Murong Xuanyi and said, "Fifth brother, even so, I really don't want to get involved in this fight for the throne. I'm afraid that if I agree, not only will I fail to protect my mother, but it will also make the court even more chaotic. I hope fifth brother won't embarrass me anymore."
Then, Murong Xuanzhou seemed to muster up great courage, raised his head, looked directly into Murong Xuanyi's eyes and asked: "Fifth brother, why don't you take on the position of crown prince yourself? In the eyes of everyone, you are the one who has the greatest hope of winning the throne. You have both ability and prestige. If you become the crown prince, you will surely convince everyone, and the court will be able to settle down soon."
Murong Xuanyi obeyed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, "Because of your fifth sister-in-law, she doesn't want to become the queen of the country."
Murong Xuanzhou couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect this to be the reason. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and said:
"Fifth brother, so... so that's how it is. Fifth sister-in-law's opinion is certainly important, but this concerns the country and the stability of the court. You gave up the throne for fifth sister-in-law... this... this..."
Murong Xuanyi patted Murong Xuanzhou on the shoulder, his tone still calm but revealing an unquestionable firmness: "Xuanzhou, in my heart, your fifth sister-in-law is more important than the world, so I am not suitable to sit on the throne."
Murong Xuanzhou still seemed a little hesitant. He raised his head slightly, looked at Murong Xuanyi and said, "But fifth brother, the position of crown prince is of great importance. If the wrong choice is made, it will probably have an immeasurable impact on our country."
Murong Xuanyi smiled slightly, his eyes showing calmness and confidence: "Xuanzhou, I believe that your ability and character are enough to take on this important task. What's more, Fifth Brother will definitely assist you with all his strength and ensure that you and mother are safe."
Murong Xuanyi's tone became more earnest when he said this: "Xuanzhou, this is not only for yourself, but also for the people and the country of Daxia."
Murong Xuanzhou showed hesitation, and seemed to be a little shaken in his heart, but he still bit his lip and said, "Fifth brother, this matter is too serious. I... I need to think about it carefully. Besides, even if I nodded, how could the ministers in the court recognize me, a prince who has never been valued? They might think that I am not worthy of the position."
Murong Xuanyi nodded slightly, as if he had expected him to have such concerns: "Xuanzhou, put aside your concerns for now and be prepared. Fifth Brother will solve all the problems step by step."
Murong Xuanzhou looked at Murong Xuanyi's determined eyes and couldn't refuse him outright at this moment, so he whispered: "Fifth brother, then...then I will listen to you, and I hope that fifth brother will help me more."
"Of course. If we brothers work together, we will surely make Daxia prosperous and the people will live and work in peace and contentment." Murong Xuanyi finally showed a relieved smile on his face.
After the two reached a consensus, Murong Xuanyi left the Tenth Prince's Mansion. He did not intend to let Murong Xuanzhou ascend the throne immediately.
He had to first clear away the numerous obstacles that stood in Murong Xuanzhou's way of ascending the throne, paving a smooth and easy path for him to ascend the throne smoothly and govern the world peacefully.
