The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Si Yan knew that the emperor could not be happy. An emperor who had no sense of justice, was indecisive, and could not distinguish right from wrong would definitely not be happy.

"Follow me." The emperor said in an imperative tone.

"Yes." Si Yan responded.

In the Emperor's bedroom, the Emperor said solemnly, "You keep saying that you are doing this for Daxuan, but it's not true. You are only doing this for your own selfish reasons."

Si Yan said calmly: "My selfishness is Daxuan, and Daxuan is my selfishness."

The girl's cold and powerful voice struck the emperor's heart like a drumstick.

The emperor's heart trembled, and he felt that this girl was a little hard to understand.

"I don't believe it," the emperor said gravely. "If you truly care about Daxuan, you should consider the issue from my perspective, not just Prince Yong's. If you truly care about Daxuan, you shouldn't just support Prince Yong. You should support any of my sons."

Si Yan smiled softly, "Your Majesty is right. Does Your Majesty hope that the Imperial Concubine, the Prime Minister, and I can control the entire court together?"

The emperor was slightly angry: "Si Yan!"

After saying this, he slowed down his tone again, "You know that's not what I meant."

"Your Majesty." Si Yan also softened his tone, "Have you not yet felt the Prime Minister's control over the court? Have you not yet felt the invisible pressure the Prime Minister is putting on you?

"Under the current circumstances, even if Prince Xin becomes the crown prince and inherits the throne from His Majesty, he will not be able to escape the control of the Xin family. In the end, the power will inevitably fall to the outside relatives, and the Qi family's power will fall to others."

Si Yan's words once again reminded the emperor of the feeling of being forced and suffocated.

He also knew that the prime minister's party was indeed domineering, but the emperor also had his own concerns.

"Prince Yong is already weak, and now he's been poisoned. I'm worried he won't be able to endure..."

"Your Majesty's concerns are not without reason." Si Yan confirmed the emperor's thoughts and then softly refuted, "But let me ask Your Majesty, which weakness in a person's character or physical weakness is more likely to destroy the Great Xuan Empire?"

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "You ministers can assist Prince Xin. A king can govern the country well as long as he has the assistance of capable ministers and generals."

"Yes, Your Majesty, theoretically that's correct." Si Yan said softly, "But Your Majesty, between the Imperial Concubine, the Prime Minister, and me, who do you think Prince Xin will listen to?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "You are so smart, but you can't make him listen to you?"

"Yes, I naturally have a way." Si Yan said calmly, "The way is to make it impossible for the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister to control Prince Xin and the Daxuan court. Only then can Prince Xin become stronger. However, Your Majesty is obviously unwilling. Today, I could have continued to interrogate Nanny Tang, but Your Majesty could not bear to implicate the Imperial Concubine..."

"I... I was a little confused at that time." The emperor once again showed his weakness and incompetence and lack of his own opinion.

Si Yan said calmly, "Your Majesty's only concern is this: should you appoint Prince Xin as the Crown Prince, or Prince Yong as the Crown Prince?"

"Yes," the emperor admitted.

"Your Majesty, if you make Prince Xin the Crown Prince, you will have to eliminate the influence of the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister to pave the way for Prince Xin. If you make Prince Yong the Crown Prince, he is mature, steady, and resolute, and he will naturally know how to proceed."

"But Prince Yong is in poor health. I'm worried about his inability to produce offspring, and now you've broken off the engagement..."

The emperor sighed and lowered his voice, "To be honest, I had a dream recently. The dream said that Prince Yong was in poor health and might not have an heir."

Si Yan's eyes darkened. It was hard to tell whether the emperor had a dream or someone had whispered something in his ears.

Si Yan said solemnly, "Your Majesty, do you want to do this for the good of Daxuan, for the good of the entire Qi family, or just for the good of your own direct descendants?"

The emperor said without hesitation: "Of course I want the best for the entire Qi family, but I still want my own direct line to inherit the throne."

"But Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the direct line of the Qi family ended with the fourth generation, Emperor Xuanwen? Emperor Xuanwen fathered more than a dozen princesses, but no princes. The throne was eventually passed to his uncle's son, Emperor Xuanhui. All of you, including Your Majesty, are descendants of Qi's side branches that eventually passed to Your Majesty."

emperor:"……"

Si Yan was telling the truth, but he still wanted his own son to pass the family line down from generation to generation.

Si Yan said earnestly, "Your Majesty, if the monarch is weak, the kingdom will not be passed down to future generations. If Prince Yong becomes a wise ruler, even if he is in poor health, he will adopt an outstanding heir from the Qi clan, so that the Qi clan's kingdom can continue and prosper.

"Besides, the fact that His Royal Highness Prince Yong has no children is just a dream of His Majesty. You can ask Divine Doctor Yunya and Imperial Physician He about the real situation. If even a dream could come true, who knows how many people would have achieved great success."

After hearing this, the emperor felt much relieved, but he was still hesitant.

Si Yan changed his perspective and said, "Your Majesty, whether to make Prince Xin or Prince Yong the Crown Prince, you haven't made a decision yet, and that's fine. However, as an emperor, you must be fair in your dealings, so that the court can be stable. Today, Prince Yong was poisoned, and Your Majesty only picked out two palace maids to deal with them. Isn't this chilling to the hearts of the people? Your Majesty is not fair, let alone the court officials below."

The emperor felt depressed and his eyes widened.

He did not consider this point, and only thought that implicating the Imperial Noble Consort would affect Prince Xin.

Si Yan looked at the emperor's expression and continued, "Your Majesty, to be frank, whether Prince Xin or Prince Yong is the crown prince, there is one thing that must be done."

"whats the matter?"

Si Yan said calmly, "That is to completely eradicate the termites that are corrupting the court. This is the true root of the destruction of a country. Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, but he cannot escape the control of the Prime Minister and others. If Prince Xin inherits the throne, one can imagine the situation.

"Therefore, if Your Majesty appoints Prince Xin as Crown Prince, you must eliminate his relatives, the Prime Minister, and others. If Prince Yong inherits the throne, the Imperial Noble Consort, the Prime Minister, and their faction will become Prince Yong's mortal enemies, and Prince Yong will inevitably deal with them. Therefore, whether Your Majesty chooses Prince Xin or Prince Yong, the hand that controls the court must be cut off."

After Si Yan said this, the emperor seemed to suddenly understand.

The emperor looked at Si Yan with a deep gaze: "If I cut off this hand and really make Prince Xin the crown prince, will you support it?"

"Yes, as long as Your Majesty makes the decision, I will listen." Si Yan replied calmly.

The prerequisite is that the emperor is really determined to pass the throne of crown prince to Prince Xin.

Looking at the hesitant emperor, Si Yan knew that they were not completely without gain today.

The emperor had never even considered Prince Yong before, but now Prince Yong occupied at least half of his position in his mind.

This proves that they have not taken the wrong path.

"Okay, you go down first, let me think about it." The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

A lot of things happened today and he needed to think carefully.
