Chapter 4 Turning Passive into Proactive

With Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Yao also knew that he had been favored by Yan Xiang.

When the immediate trouble is solved, the other party will be able to use it for him.

It wasn't long after Yan Xiang and Yuan Yao returned to the mansion.

Yuan Shu's enthronement ceremony has also come to an end.

and Yan Xiang, Yuan Yao expected it well.

The first thing Yuan Shu did when he returned to Shouchun City was to gather his ministers and discuss the abolition of the crown prince.

The main hall of the Royal Palace.

Yuan Shu was wearing a dragon robe with a serious face.

Zhang Xun, the general beside him, glanced at Yuan Shu and quickly stood up.

"Your Majesty, something will happen at the end."

"Aiqing, please have something to say."

"Today's sacrifice to the sky, everything should be fine, but when the enthronement was about to be completed, the crown prince suddenly appeared and tried his best to obstruct His Majesty's act of becoming the emperor.

"The last general will affirm Your Majesty and abolish Yuan Yao's position as crown prince as a punishment."

Zhang Xun was surrounded by everyone and directly opened his mouth to challenge Yuan Yao.

Although Yuan Yao was not present, as long as these matters were discussed in the court, even if Yuan Yao himself objected, it would be useless.

After Zhang Xun's words were finished, several people who looked like literati and Confucian scholars stopped talking.

These people all supported Yuan Shu's succession, and they were able to use this excuse to persuade Yuan Shu before, but this time, they didn't dare to say more.

After all, they were all on the scene today, and Yuan Yao's move was indeed a bit unspeakable, even if they wanted to speak for Yuan Yao, they didn't have the courage to stand up for a while.

The officials of Zhang Xun's faction quickly agreed to Zhang Xun's proposal and echoed them one by one, making the situation in this hall one-sided.

Yuan Shu was very satisfied with this situation, in his heart, he was also quite dissatisfied with his unsuccessful son, and finally found an opportunity to abolish it and replace his third son Yuan Jing as the crown prince, which was in line with his wishes.

"What Zhang Aiqing said has some truth, but this matter is very important, let's ask the rebel son to come and ask, even if he wants to abolish the crown prince, let him understand his unrighteous behavior."

"Prince Xuan is here!"

The little eunuch next to him immediately began to shout at the top of his voice.

……

Yan Xiang and Yuan Yao were still resting in the mansion, but they didn't expect that they would soon wait for the little eunuch's message.

Yuan Yao learned from the mouth of the little eunuch that it was his father who summoned him, and he didn't dare to hesitate for a while, and hurriedly got up and went to the palace.

And Yan Xiang stuffed some broken silver and handed it over to the little eunuch, and soon learned from the little eunuch's mouth the reason why Yuan Shu summoned Yuan Yao.

After getting Yuan Shu is intention to abolish the crown prince, Yan Xiang was shocked, although he realized in advance that this would happen.

But he didn't expect this matter to come so quickly.

Yuan Shu ascended the throne on the same day, and the prince was to be deposed in the afternoon.

He hurriedly told Yuan Yao the news, but after Yuan Yao heard it, he smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll go and solve this trouble."

After that, Yuan Yao took Yan Xiang and quickly went all the way to the palace.

The prince's east palace mansion was not far from the palace hall, and the two of them came outside the main hall not long after.

didn't stop for anything, Yuan Yao took the initiative to walk in.

In the main hall, Yuan Shu was still sitting on the dragon chair on the main seat, and the civil and military officials on the left and right were standing quietly at the moment, and no one spoke.

What should be said had already been said before Yuan Yao came in.

Now, it's just waiting to see a good show.

Especially Zhang Xun, who was standing at the front of the military attache crowd, couldn't help but show a hint of pride when he saw Yuan Yao come in.

After today's deed, Yuan Yao will no longer be the prince, and his nephew Yuan Jing will be pushed to the position of prince by him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xun was still a little proud, and even looked at Yuan Yao's eyes, which were full of provocation.

Yuan Yao walked in from outside the main hall, his eyes swept over the faces of the civil and military officials on the left and right, mainly because he was not familiar with these officials, and wanted to take a look at them first, and at the same time, through the memory of the original owner, he would recognize these people one by one.

When Yuan Yao's gaze fell on Zhang Xun's body.

Zhang Xun's compelling eyes made Yuan Yao shudder.

However, he was not worried, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

His gaze swept over Zhang Xun and looked directly at Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the main seat.

After stopping, Yuan Yao saluted his titular father.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"

Yuan Shu on the dragon chair glanced at this son who was not treated by him.

replied in a somewhat cold tone.

"Get up."

"Prince, I and the ministers are discussing an important matter again, and I need to call you over."

Although Yuan Shu had already made up his mind to abolish the crown prince, when Yuan Yao really came to this court, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

After all, although Yuan Yao is not a weapon, no matter what, he is his son, or the eldest son, and when Yuan Yao was young, he also received Yuan Shu's love.

Once Yuan Yao's position as crown prince is abolished, the father-son relationship between Yuan Yao and Yuan Shu will definitely break down, and this is not what Yuan Shu wants to see, so Yuan Shu is thinking about how he should open his mouth to tell Yuan Yao so that he can make his son feel better.

Just when Yuan Shu was still hesitating and didn't know how to speak, Yuan Yao took the initiative to speak.

"Father, in fact, the sons and daughters came here today, and there is also an important matter to tell the father."

"Oh?"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he immediately became interested.

took the initiative to ask Yuan Yao's intention first.

"The prince has something to tell me, you can tell me first."

Yuan Shu thought about helping his son fulfill his last wish, and it would not be too late to deprive him of the crown prince.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yuan Yao said to Yuan Shu respectfully.

"Father, the son wants to resign as the crown prince!"

Everyone is still looking forward to it, Yuan Yao has something to say, is it difficult to persuade Yuan Shu not to ascend the throne and become emperor, they all want to see the excitement.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuan Yao opened his mouth, he actually resigned as the crown prince.

As soon as he said this, he really frightened these civil and military ministers in the court.

"What!"

"You want to resign as crown prince?"

Even Zhang Xun, the general who was standing at the front, was stunned when he heard Yuan Yao's words, almost thinking that he hadn't heard clearly.

"That's right, Erchen feels that his ability is humble, and he has no talent to learn, so it is difficult to serve as the prince, so he is willing to ask his father to depose Erchen's position as the prince and set up the third brother as the prince!"

Yuan Yao saw that everyone was shocked, but he continued to speak respectfully.
