Chapter 259
C259 – I Hope You Don’t Regret It
“Are you sure you want to do this?” The emperor’s gaze was deep, and no one dared to raise their head to peer into his expression.
Teng Yu strode to Yin Xu’s front, and pulled him to the center of the great hall, “I beg Royal Father to grant my wish!”
Huo Yiming looked at Yin Xu anxiously, wanting to pull him back. Third Prince was too reckless, what if His Majesty got angry, then he would be fine as a prince.
Huo Zhengquan stood there calmly, as if what had happened had nothing to do with him.
Huo Yidao couldn’t help but admire the courage of the two of them. In his opinion, the bones of the Third Prince still carried the arrogance and willfulness of the past, even if he had hidden his true nature, he couldn’t hide some of his personality.
The First Prince was even more happy, he wanted to see what Teng Yu was going to take out to fight with him! Previously, he had asked Huo Yidao to remind him of the matter of the royal decree bestowing marriage, because he wanted Huo Zhengquan to separate the two.
If it was successful in disassembling, then the relationship between Old Third and the Huo Family would definitely become rigid. If it was unsuccessful, then the Huo Family would definitely not be able to keep Huo Tian alive.
However, he really did not expect Ol ‘Three to be so bold as to dare to say something about not having a son in front of all the other ministers and Royal Father s. A prince without a son was nothing to worry about!
The First Prince secretly glanced at Huo Zhengquan, wondering if the Marshal Huo would kick him out of the clan because of this.
“Good!” “Very good!” The emperor’s deep voice spread throughout the hall, causing all the officials and civil and military officials to lower their heads.
He stood up and walked down the stairs, his steps slow and heavy. “Since you’re so determined, I won’t stop you. I hope you won’t regret it in the future!” After saying that, he walked out of the Chengde Hall without looking back.
“Withdraw!” Chief Minister Qu trotted over to keep up with the emperor’s footsteps, but was stopped halfway by the official from the Ministry of Rites. Chief Minister Qu, this … “What this official has just done …”
The Chief Minister Qu smiled, his eyes squinting into slits, “Sir Qong, how could this servant know? How about you continue tomorrow morning? ” After saying that, he pushed his hand away and ran out of the Chengde Hall.
Chief Minister Qu was not stupid, after being promoted he kept a low profile and treated people well, he did not offend anyone, but no one dared to get close, which was why he was able to make the emperor use him with peace.
Although he had also considered what he would do when the new emperor ascended the throne, this matter wasn’t something that he could achieve just by camping in a camp. Which new emperor would be able to use them generously as a result of their close personal service to the emperor? Not to be buried was already the best outcome.
Once the Emperor left, the Chengde Hall began to clamor.
Even the Emperor did not care about the matters between the Third Prince and Huo Qi, how could they have any reason to impeach Huo Zhengquan’s godson? It seemed like this route would not work. He could only start from another direction.
Many officials secretly stuffed the Advice Letter that they had prepared back into their sleeves. Originally, they had agreed to collectively impeach Huo Zhengquan, but they did not expect to be disturbed by the Third Prince right after they started.
These people were all from the Yun Family Branch. Although it was not enough for them to see that this matter had been planned by the First Prince, it would definitely require him to add fuel to the fire from the shadows.
The First Prince’s expression was stiff. The gaze Huo Zhengquan had swept towards him with just now was like a sharp blade, scraping him in the chest.
But he knew that there was no way out. As long as Huo Zhengquan was still the Huo Zhengquan of today, and Huo Family was still the of today, then his infatuation would only turn into wishful thinking.
So, he had to let his Huo Family fall, regardless it was for public or private.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” When Huo Zhengquan passed by Yin Xu, he gave them a deep glance.
Yin Xu rubbed his nose. Being confessed in public, he felt embarrassed.
The gazes from all directions were direct. Some were disgusted, some were resentful, and some were helpless.
Yin Xu knew that the closer he was to Teng Yu, the more officials did not want him to be with him. After today, he would probably become the bane of all evil, and he didn’t know how these people would advise him to stay with them.
Yin Xu left Teng Yu with a group of angry ministers, and followed Huo Zhengquan out of the palace.
“Father, the people who impeached you today are all related to Yun Family.” The moment Huo Yiming left the palace gate, he couldn’t help but complain to Huo Zhengquan.
“Yes.”
“The Yun Family has gone too far!” Huo Yiming was a pure martial general, he had his own methods of arrangement for troops and traps, but his temper was still a little too impetuous.
“Everyone said that the person who bought Yang Hu is Yun Family? Or is it the First Prince? ” Huo Yidao asked in surprise.
“I don’t think he is too far off from the truth. The Third Prince can’t possibly oppose us right now. Other than him, who else could it be?”
Huo Zhengquan did not say anything, but regardless of whether it was the First Prince or the Emperor, their starting points were all the same.
It’s just that they thought that using such underhanded methods to destroy Huo Family and put up a crime against it was too simple.
The Emperor regretted it the moment he exited the Chengde Hall. He had been looking forward to today’s morning assembly for a long time and thought that he could use this opportunity to shake his reputation. He didn’t expect that his unfilial son would ruin it.
“Your majesty, calm down. The Third Prince still doesn’t understand. When he becomes older and realizes the importance of having a son, he will definitely turn back.” Chief Minister Qu advised carefully from the side.
The emperor suddenly stopped his steps, “After hearing what you said, I actually understand what Ol ‘Three is up to. Hmph, what you said sounds good, but it’s just to gain the trust of Huo Family, and after Huo Family helps him get on the throne, let’s see if he will still treat Huo Tian as he did before.”
Even ordinary people would not dare to say words that they did not want their son. He had truly underestimated Teng Yu, to the point that he would use his entire life to gain trust.
Back then, the Emperor himself used his Liu Family to rise to power, so with his own abilities, he naturally felt that Teng Yu had carried such a goal. With this thought, he felt that his earlier anger was unfathomable.
Chief Minister Qu lowered his head, pretending that he hadn’t heard anything, but he had no choice but to pay close attention to every word that the Emperor was saying.
“Go draw up the decree. Since he has the courage, I shall grant him that wish!”
Chief Minister Qu did not understand the intention of the emperor’s words, but he did not need to express his own opinion, he just needed to follow the order.
An hour later, an imperial edict was released. Just thinking about it caused Chief Minister Qu’s scalp to go numb, and he couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the Third Prince.
When the decree was passed to the Third Prince Mansion, Chief Minister Qu braced himself to finish it. If he did not dare to ask for rewards, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“Your Highness, why do you need to go head to head with the Emperor? If you like Seventh Master Huo, you can do it quietly. It won’t affect anything if you marry a woman and set her up at home.”
Teng Yu held onto the imperial edict, and revealed a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, “Haha, Chief Minister Qu’s words are wrong. I have been looking forward to this imperial edict for a long time, and it is impossible for it to go against my dreams. Someone come, reward! “
Han Sen stuffed a heavy bag of money onto Chief Minister Qu as a smile bloomed on his old face.
He was a very loyal person, as long as his Highness was happy, he would be happy, even though he was also worried in his heart about the fact that Third Prince had lost his heir.
In order to not go against the teachings of the ancestor, in order to give an explanation to the people of the world, in order to prove that the emperor had not shown favouritism, Third Prince Teng Yu could not take in a concubine in his life, and could not give birth to a son of a woman. Even if there was one, he would be deprived of his identity as a royal family and would be demoted to a commoner.
Even if Teng Yu ascended to the throne in the future, he would never dare to go against the Holy Will of the late emperor, otherwise the saliva of the citizens of the world would drown him.
Chief Minister Qu felt that he could not see the entire family clearly. Was this really a good thing? Could it be that Third Prince really won’t regret?
“Thank you very much for coming to Chief Minister Qu today. On the day of my wedding with Huo Tian, I would like to invite you to have a cup of wine.” Teng Yu’s entire person was glowing with an indescribable spirit.
Chief Minister Qu was really happy to see him, and a smile appeared on his face. Honestly speaking, he was really afraid that Third Prince would vent her anger on him, after all, it was only after he said those words that the Emperor had this idea.
“Send the order, all servants in the mansion will be rewarded with three months’ worth of silver. Send someone to the Marshal’s Mansion to inform them of this good news …” No, let me go in person! “
Teng Yu let Han Sen send him out, and after returning to his room, he changed into a new set of clothes and rode his big horse towards the Huo Family.
But in the Third Prince Mansion, each and every one of the aides sighed and frowned.
“What should I do?”
“Your Highness is too reckless. How can you ascend to the throne if you eliminate your heir? “The civil and military officials definitely would not support an emperor without any sons. The great cause of the Great Liang shouldn’t end up in the hands of His Highness.”
“Then what should we do? Your Majesty’s royal decree has been issued, and there is no reason to take it back. “
“That might not be true. Didn’t your majesty give your majesty and Seventh Young Master a decree bestowing marriage before? Aren’t you going to take it back now? “
“But His Highness seems to be very satisfied, happily accepting the decree. Last time, His Highness didn’t receive the decree ah.”
“Then shall we just watch as all our previous plans come to naught?” for wasting all these years of effort? “
“Sigh …” Everyone sighed, unable to come up with a good idea.
If the Third Prince was unwilling, then even if the Emperor decreed it, they would still have a way to refuse. But the problem was that the Third Prince was very willing, so he didn’t care about some heirs.
“This Seventh Young Master is truly harmful!” Someone complained in a low voice.
“Shut up!” Don’t let others hear it, can’t you see the position of the Seventh Young Master in his heart? He will be our mistress! You’re courting death! “
“Hmph, all these years of effort have been in vain. How is he different from the disasters in those fallen countries? “In my opinion, we should try our best to persuade Your Highness to turn back. Why would you cut off your promising future for a man?”
“Forget it, do you think that His Highness doesn’t understand this?” If he dares to accept the decree, naturally, he has his own considerations. “
Someone could no longer sit still, “No way! If Your Highness is truly so preposterous, then I will personally invite you to leave! “
There were a lot of helpers in the Third Prince Mansion, not everyone was without ambition towards Teng Yu, and not everyone had a loyal heart that did not change.
