Chapter 695: Candidate for the Crown Prince

Xiao Yu looked at Feng Ge a little speechlessly, why was Feng Ge so frightened of himself, he didn't seem to have said anything to blame him, why was he still so cautious.

In fact, Xiao Yu didn't know that when Pickett established Xiao Yu as the national teacher of the Tobia Empire, he sternly warned Feng Ge and other confidants that no matter what Xiao Yu wanted, they had to try their best to meet it, even if Xiao Yu wanted to sit on the throne of God Emperor, they must unconditionally obey Xiao Yu's orders, therefore, Xiao Yu was far more than Pickett in the minds of Feng Ge and others, just like a god, when facing God, how dare they make mistakes, even if God does not blame, they must always carefully remind themselves not to make mistakes。

"Okay, don't toss, let them leave their things, and people don't have to go. Xiao Yu waved his hand.

With an order, Feng Ge immediately dispersed the people who had been called, but in a matter of moments, only what was left behind was left in the square outside the imperial study.

Xiao Yu didn't carefully check whether these left movements were sufficient, in his past, it should be enough to have these things.

"Alright, that's done, it's time for me to go back. Xiao Yu smiled and said hello to Pickett Feitian, and prepared to leave.

But Feng Ge, who had just left, ran over quickly, Xiao Yu thought that Feng Ge had something to take away for himself, so he stopped.

Who knows, Feng Ge came to the three of them, and said, "Master Guoshi, Your Majesty, Duke Ollenon is here." ”

As soon as Pickett heard that Olenon was coming, his mind suddenly became solemn, and he only heard him say to Feng Ge in a deep voice: "Please." ”

After speaking, he remembered that Xiao Yu was still on the side, and Pickett was busy with bricks and asked Xiao Yu for instructions: "Xiao Guoshi, look at this-"

"You're busy with you! I'll go first. Seeing that there was nothing to do with him, Xiao Yu did not plan to continue to delay here, and prepared to return to the Royal Beast Pass.

"National teacher, please stay. Pickett hurriedly called Xiao Yu and said, "Master National Teacher, can you wait any longer, Pickett has some things that he wants to ask the National Teacher to consider for us." ”

When Pickett said this, he only felt that his tears were about to fall, and what he was afraid of was not only that he stopped Xiao Yu, but that he was about to say something more about Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at Pickett suspiciously, when he was waiting for Feng Ge to prepare something, Pickett didn't say a word, why did he want to leave, but suddenly said that he had something to give him an idea, thinking of what Feng Ge said just now that Olenon was coming, Xiao Yu couldn't help but guess that what Pickett wanted to say to himself had something to do with Duke Olnon.

Xiao Yu looked at Pickett, who was in a cold sweat, and muttered in his heart, but thinking that he had just troubled Pickett to prepare something, it was nothing to listen to what he had to say, as for whether he had an idea, it would depend on Xiao Yu's heart.

It didn't take long for the Duke of Ollenon to walk into the imperial study, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, Olinon saw Xiao Yu sitting with Pickett.

After being slightly stunned, Ollenon bowed and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty, see the National Teacher." ”

"Your Excellency, Duke, please. Pickett called Ollenon and asked, "Could it be that I have asked you to investigate this time, Lord Duke, has the result of your investigation?"

Orinon replied, "Living up to the holy hopes, Wechen has already investigated clearly. ”

"Tell me how it turned out. Pickett said.

"Yes!"

Orinon said: "Wechen has sent people to visit around secretly these days, and found that a large number of officials in all provinces, states and counties of the empire have been bribed by the crown prince from Dong, although they are now respectful to Your Majesty, but in fact they have fully served with the prince from Dong. Not only that, the previous shortage of food in the empire was also secretly planned by the crown prince Lidong, ordering people to falsely report that there was no food and came to His Majesty to raise food, and his real purpose was to wait for His Majesty to have no food to send, to publicize that His Majesty had no way to govern the country, disturb the people's hearts, and then force His Majesty to abdicate and inherit the unification. ”

As soon as Ollenon finished speaking, Pickett slammed the table, his voice was deafening, and he only heard Pickett say angrily: "Rebel son, who has worked hard in vain, is so unwilling to wait, for his own selfishness, he has caused heavy casualties to the imperial soldiers, and his crime can be punished." ”

"Your Majesty!" Ollenon felt the murderous intent in Picket's words, and hurriedly admonished: "Your Majesty, the crown prince's actions are indeed damaging to the foundation of the empire, but now that the prince is powerful, he dares to act against the prince, I am afraid that it will cause a riot in the empire, so that the situation that we have managed to balance will be completely broken, resulting in the collapse of the empire, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

"Then just let him grow? Hmph, according to me, if I let him do whatever he wants, I'm afraid that he will directly kill me as well. Pickett said angrily.

"Your Majesty, although the crown prince is powerful, but now the empire is surrounded by strong enemies, the crisis has not been resolved, and the prince does not dare to act rashly, but once we move, we will inevitably get a situation where the fish is dead and the net is broken. Orynon advised.

"Hmph!" Pickett snorted heavily, "Does the Duke have a solution?"

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, if you want to suppress the prince's arrogance, you need someone to be able to compare with it, and then Your Majesty will let everyone know that the prince's position is not stable, in that way, those who rely on the prince will reconsider their position, and your majesty will secretly make efforts, you can eat away at the prince's power step by step, and when the prince reacts, he can't make much waves. Olenon suggested.

Pickett nodded approvingly and said, "Does the Duke have a candidate in mind?"

Orinon said: "Wechen does have someone to recommend. ”

"Say!" ordered Pickett.

Olenon said, "He's Princess Thea." ”

As soon as Orynon's words fell, Xiao Yu frowned, but did not speak.

Pickett had actually been paying attention to Xiao Yu's face, and when he saw that Xiao Yu heard Thea's name, his brows furrowed, and he immediately felt in his heart, but seeing that Xiao Yu didn't speak, his heart was a little relieved, and he continued to ask Orynon: "Princess Thea is already married to the national teacher, is it inappropriate for her to compete with Li Dong for the crown prince?"

Orinon looked at Xiao Yu cautiously and replied: "There is nothing wrong with the old minister's opinion, there are three reasons for this, first, in the battle of the Royal Beast Pass, Princess Thea led the army to successfully repel the orcs and the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, occupied the Royal Beast Pass, and blocked the orcs from the pass. Second, the princess has a special role in the empire, in addition to her own princess, there is also the assistance of the national teacher, and under the protection of the national teacher, she can calm her heart. Third, Princess Thea's reputation in the empire is outstanding, and the people praise her when they hear it, and her prestige can calm the hearts of the people.

When Pickett heard this, he pretended to frown and think, but in fact, he was observing Xiao Yu's expression.

Today's conversation between him and Duke Orinon was not expected by Pickett, what Pickett and Healai decided at the beginning was to take advantage of Xiao Yu's inattention, and secretly put Thea on the throne, but Pickett drove back and forth after that, feeling that if the matter of Thea's accession to the throne was not revealed to Xiao Yu in advance, when Thea ascended the throne and Xiao Yu found out again, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be angry with them again, and he didn't know what Xiao Yu would do at that time.

And the reason why I chose to reveal it to Xiao Yu today is that in addition to coincidences such as Xiao Yu just arrived and Ollenon happened to meet him, I also wanted to take advantage of Xiao Yu's good heart, maybe there was a possibility of success.

It's just that Pickett found that even after listening to Orinon's words, Xiao Yu still didn't react, which couldn't help but make him unable to guess what Xiao Yu was thinking.

After thinking about it, Pickett still asked Xiao Yu directly: "Xiao Guoshi, I don't know what you think?"

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes in the room fell on Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu frowned, his gaze swept over the faces of Orinon Engineering and Pickett, and after a moment of silence, Xiao Yu's eyebrows stretched, and said, "I don't object to Thea's accession to the throne, but I have two requests. ”

"National teacher, please speak. Pickett was happy in his heart, as long as Xiao Yu did not refuse, then there was still room for negotiation, as for Xiao Yu's request, in fact, it was already in his expectation, he had already decided that no matter what Xiao Yu asked, he would first try to meet it, because he knew that only by letting Thea ascend the throne could the Tobia Empire prosper forever.

Xiao Yu said: "First, if Thea is willing to become the empress, then she will definitely be the empress, if Thea is not willing to achieve the throne of the emperor, then no one can force her." ”

"Rest assured, we will fully comply with Xiya's wishes. Pickett assured.

Xiao Yu glanced at him and continued: "Second, whether you are alive or dead, if Thea wants to ascend to the throne of God, it will be at least a year later. ”

The reason why Xiao Yu made such a request is because Thea is currently pregnant, and if Thea is allowed to ascend the throne at this time, it will not be good for Thea and the child in her womb.

In fact, whether to ascend to the throne or not is like an insignificant game in Xiao Yu's eyes, if Xiya likes it, he won't stop it, and if Xiya doesn't like it, no one can force her.

"No problem. Pickett readily agreed, anyway, he is not idle to abdicate now, all they are thinking about now is to choose a strong pillar for the empire in advance, so that when he is old, there will be someone to carry the huge empire.

The matter of Sea's ascension to the throne was finally recognized by Xiao Yu, and the tight string in Pickett's heart was finally loosened.

"Duke Orinon, I'll leave the rest to you. Pickett instructed Orynon.

Ollenon bowed, "Wechen will do his best." ”

"Stand down!"

"Wechen retires!"

Orinon was about to leave the imperial study with his head bowed, but Xiao Yu stopped Orinon at this time: "The duke stays." ”

"I don't know what else the national teacher commands?" Orinon looked at Xiao Yu respectfully.

Xiao Yu smiled: "Haha, I almost forgot, you are an indispensable person, I will bother you to come with me later." ”
