Marry a Duke

Chapter 309: Objection is invalid

"Prince Wu himself has no objection. Since Grand Tutor Xun is so worried about him, doesn't that put Prince Wu in a dilemma?" Wei Xuan did not show any mercy to Minister Xun.

He had no objection to Grand Tutor Xun's willingness to take advantage of his seniority.

But don't sell it to him.

The most important thing now is to select the next monarch who is capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country. This is not a joke.

To Wei Xuan, none of the three princes were satisfactory.

"Wei Xuan, do you really want to control the government by yourself? The emperor hasn't said anything about this matter, but you are the only one who decided it. Where do you put the emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court?"

Grand Tutor Xun was heartbroken.

It was as if Wei Xuan had already attempted to usurp the throne. The emperor was in poor health and did not have much time left. Now it was said that the emperor trusted Wei Xuan, but it was indeed not appropriate for Wei Xuan to be the one in charge of everything.

Grand Tutor Xun couldn't bear to see this, so he dragged his old body back to the court.

He wanted to make the emperor wake up. Everyone in the capital knew what kind of person Wei Xuan was when he was young.

If Wei Xuan were to cause trouble, the Dayue Dynasty would be in danger.

"Now, the court is full of military generals, and you only sent the son of Marquis Chenyuan. What's the matter? Is there no one else available?" asked Grand Tutor Xun.

At this time, Chenyuan Hou Yuchi Sui stood up.

He looked at Grand Master Xun calmly.

Yuchi Sui did not stay in the capital for a long time, and he did not have a close friendship with Grand Tutor Xun in his early years.

Now that people have pointed out his name, if he doesn't stand up and talk it out, it would be like he has no one left in the Yuchi family.

"It seems that Grand Tutor Xun has a lot of complaints about my Chenyuan Marquis Mansion. Chenyuan Marquis Mansion obeys the emperor's orders. If Grand Tutor Xun can find a more suitable candidate to attack Yueyang Lake, Chenyuan Marquis can take on this important task. I would also like to thank Grand Tutor Xun."

The implication is that going to Yueyang Lake is not what the Yuchi family wants.

Everything was because of the emperor's assignment, and as subjects they had no way of refusing.

But some people with ulterior motives think this is a great thing and even use the back door to get it.

Don't you think about the fact that Yue Yangchi has now joined the Fire Hunting Clan, and the Fire Hunting Clan has the Red Stone Powder.

Moreover, they are willing to kill.

If all the former Yueyangchi defenders were asked to take the Red Stone Powder, even if Chen Yuanhou's Mansion brought soldiers with them, the casualties would definitely be a considerable number.

This was originally a very difficult war to fight, otherwise, since half of the court was civil officials and half was military officials, why didn't the military officials volunteer to go to the war?

"Marquis Chen Yuan, I am not targeting you. What I am saying now is the truth."

"Grand Tutor Xun originally targeted the Yuchi family. Duke Weiguo promoted talented people regardless of their relationship with the emperor, and this had to be approved by the emperor. It was not something he could decide alone. But when the old Grand Tutor spoke, it was Duke Weiguo's selfish motives." Yuchi Sui did not show any mercy to Grand Tutor Xun.

Grand Tutor Xun's expression turned very ugly.

He was old and his health was not as good as before. He could not bear being scolded repeatedly.

If it weren't for his son holding him up, he would have almost fainted from anger.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to choose another wise man to take back Yueyang Lake. Duke Weiguo is the most suitable candidate. Although the prince of Chenyuan Marquis's mansion has experience in leading troops, he is ultimately under the protection of his father, so his experience is not that great. But Duke Weiguo is different. Duke Weiguo defeated Daliang in the past and made great military achievements. Now, it will only take a snap of a finger for him to take over the small Yueyang Lake."

Master Xun's mind raced and he immediately came up with a new idea.

Doesn’t Wei Xuan want to stand under the throne and give orders?

Well then, let him stay away from the capital and go to Yueyang Lake to retake the country. The emperor is far away and we will see how he can handle the test of the three princes.

Grand Tutor Xun favors Prince Changle, as Prince Changle has the best external reputation.

When he becomes the new emperor, he must make the people convinced. If his reputation is tarnished, how can he be worthy of the people?

The reputation of Prince Yan is now tarnished.

Compared with the other two princes, he was obviously one step behind.

It is not easy to catch up.

“No—.”

Before Wei Xuan could reply, Emperor Tianyuan directly refused.

Wei Xuan is now his reassurance, and he will never let Wei Xuan leave. After Wei Xuan leaves Beijing, how should he implement his next plan?

Yueyang Pool can be recaptured later.

You don't even have to take it back.

"The Duke of Wei must stay in the capital. I have important matters to tell you. The matter of Yueyang Pond will be handled like this. Prince Wu, please obey my orders."

The decree was announced immediately.

Prince Wu will select the number of people and we will set off in the next two days.

Prince Wu will lead hundreds of people to the city nearest to Yueyang Lake, meet up with the army led by Yuchi Mingxiu, and then attack Yueyang Lake together to take it back.

Now is the best time.

The people of Yueyangchi were still the people of Dayue. They were forced to be sent to the Fire Hunting Tribe along with the city.

The Fire Hunting Tribe guards Xuandu Mountain alone and is unwilling to leave the mountain easily.

They handed over Yueyang Pool to Fanyang to manage, and everything was under Fanyang's control.

There were 30,000 troops guarding Yueyang Lake.

But the Fire Hunting people will now also guard the Yueyang Pool.

To be on the safe side, Yuchi Mingxiu brought 30,000 troops and several hundred troops of Prince Wu, and they will gather outside Yueyang Pool.

When Grand Tutor Xun saw that the decree had been announced on the spot, there was no room for recovery.

but--

On second thought, Prince Yan's reputation was tarnished, and Prince Wu led his troops to Yueyang Lake. It was obvious that these two princes had no chance.

All opportunities are on the shoulders of Prince Changle.

Thinking of this, Grand Master Xun recovered a little.

"Your Majesty, although I am old, I am not completely useless. I am still willing to serve you. Please feel free to tell me what you want to do." said Grand Tutor Xun.

Emperor Tianyuan nodded and waved his hand.

"I am already aware of the old Grand Tutor's loyalty, and I am deeply comforted." At that moment, Emperor Tianyuan promoted Grand Tutor Xun's son to a higher rank.

To show comfort.

"Grandmaster Xun should take good care of himself. Lord Xun, please send Grandmaster Xun back to Xun Mansion to rest as soon as possible."

After saying these words, Emperor Tianyuan was also very tired.

Eunuch Liu announced that if there was anything to report, the court would be dismissed otherwise.

The ministers saw that the emperor's expression was indeed not good, and since it was not an important matter, they could wait a while.

So, the court was dismissed.

Emperor Tianyuan was sent back to the harem and Wei Xuan was summoned in as well.

An hour later, Wei Xuan came out of the emperor's bedroom.

I met Marquis Chen Yuan at the palace gate.

Wei Xuan stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, why haven't you gone home yet? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Chen Yuanhou nodded.

"Get in my carriage."

Wei Xuan followed suit and got on the carriage of Marquis Chenyuan's Mansion. The carriage of Duke Weiguo's Mansion followed behind.

What Chen Yuanhou Mansion wants to talk about is this step of raising an army. This is an opportunity for Yuchi Mingxiu to train himself.

However, the Fire Hunters are indeed a bit weird.

"I plan to go to Yueyang Pond in person. Mingxiu is young and may not be steady enough." He was a little worried.

Wei Xuan persuaded.

"Father-in-law, Mingxiu is not young and has previous experience. It won't be a big problem for him to lead the troops alone. I will write a letter to tell him what he needs to pay attention to, and ask the nearby prefectures and states to send troops to support Mingxiu."
