Marry a Duke

Chapter 308 Taunting

After truly letting go, Fu Ran felt that Wei Xuan was indeed a rare good man.

I used to think he was cold and violent.

For a man who has killed countless people on the battlefield, human life is probably worthless in his eyes. She was really afraid of seeing him in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion before.

You always feel that he will stab you out of the blue the next moment.

I don’t know how he died.

When he brought her back from Nanxiang, she felt that he had become a completely different person, or maybe he is still the same.

But he treats her differently.

He was willing to give her great freedom. Before, she was locked up in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and could not even go out of the courtyard. He let her go wherever she wanted.

The premise is to ensure your own safety.

Maybe he was making up for what he had done before. At first, she thought he was just making up for it, but as time went by, she realized that he was not the kind of person who wanted to restrain a woman.

Wei Lin was spoiled, and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion never restricted her from leaving the house.

However, Wei Lin's temperament was too spoiled, and Wei Xuan sometimes did not treat Wei Lin well.

It's not completely uncontrolled pampering.

Recently, he has been responsive to her every request.

Now, in the inner house, he gets along with her on a completely equal footing.

Of course, in front of others, he is still the Duke of Weiguo and she is the wife of the Duke of Weiguo, so they still have to observe the proper etiquette in front of others.

In the inner room, he was quite willing to listen to her.

Do something that makes her happy.

Now her mother-in-law has let go and trusts her, letting her do whatever she wants in the Duke's Mansion.

If she doesn't understand, she will ask the nanny next to her to guide her.

Wei Lin also became easy to get along with.

If the country can be stable and the people can live in peace, everything will be perfect.

"Wei Xuan."

"Ah."

He closed his eyes, as if he was half asleep. Every time Fu Ran thought he was asleep, he would call him and he would answer.

Wei Xuan closed his eyes and waited for a long time, but the little woman in his arms did not say a second word.

He slowly opened his eyes.

But he saw that the woman in his arms had fallen into a deep sleep.

His eyes turned slightly.

He hugged her tighter.

This is talking in your sleep.

It turned out that she loved him so much that she couldn't leave him even in her dreams.

Wei Xuan closed his eyes again, his lips slightly raised.

After Wei Xuan discussed with Emperor Tianyuan, he ordered Prince Wu to go to Yueyang Pool to assist the son of Marquis Chenyuan in taking over Yueyang Pool.

The Prince of Yan entered the Ministry of Rites, and the Prince of Changle entered the Ministry of Revenue.

This arrangement between the Emperor and the Duke of Weiguo is somewhat confusing.

But the Duke of Wei spoke again.

The three princes must be familiar with the operation of the six ministries.

Some ministers in the court were puzzled.

When he went to court, Emperor Tianyuan was still there.

He took a small amount of red stone powder every day, but there was still no improvement in his condition and his complexion was very bad.

Take the medicine prescribed by Hua Mo every day.

Fortunately, I can still hold on.

"Your Majesty, if we let the three princes take turns in the six ministries, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable to send Prince Wu? Moreover, Prince Wu is only here to assist the young master of Chenyuan Marquis's mansion. If he makes any contribution, wouldn't it belong to the young master of Chenyuan Marquis's mansion instead of Prince Wu?"

Everyone in the capital knows that Marquis Chenyuan is the biological father of the wife of Duke Weiguo, and that Marquis Chenyuan's eldest son is the brother-in-law of Duke Weiguo.

The Duke of Weiguo is using public power for personal gain.

There are not many people in the court who dare to speak out.

The old Grand Tutor Xun who spoke just now has not been involved in state affairs for several years. Now he feels that the court is unstable, so he comes out again.

Want to stabilize the government.

However, he didn't know that in the years since he retired, the status quo in the court had already changed.

Although Wei Xuan is young, he has already been the top leader in the court.

The first person under the emperor.

Even the Princess Chang died at the hands of Wei Xuan.

Grand Tutor Xun has always admired the Wei family. Both the old Duke Weiguo and Wei Qing sacrificed their lives for the country.

But Wei Xuan's reputation when he was young was polarized.

He is a promising man, but he is not of a kindly disposition.

If such a person really wants to take care of state affairs, he will inevitably be biased.

As soon as Grand Tutor Xun said this, someone immediately agreed with him.

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. I am afraid that the three princes will have objections to this."

Emperor Tianyuan glanced at Wei Xuan.

"Wei Qing, please explain it to them."

Wei Xuan faced his ministers without changing his expression.

His eyes fell on Grand Tutor Xun's face, and he did not retreat at all.

"Master Xun's confusion is not without reason. The emperor summoned the three princes back to the capital to test them. If there is really someone he likes, he will choose the one who is most beneficial to the country. However, it is not necessary to choose from the three princes. The emperor still has the prince, and the little prince is still in the harem openly."

"Today, the three princes still have to obey the emperor's orders and have no choice but to disobey. The emperor ordered them to rotate among the six ministries. Do they really want to disobey the order? Even if Prince Wu was sent to Yueyang Lake to assist the son of Chenyuan Hou, it was because the soldiers who attacked Yueyang Lake were from Xuzhou. Could it be that Prince Wu was asked to take his private soldiers to recapture Yueyang Lake?"

All the weapons and armor of Xuzhou were in the hands of the Yuchi family, with more than 50,000 men.

How others lead.

Even if the emperor ordered the Yuchi family to hand over Xuzhou's troops, it had to be reasonable and logical, as Xuzhou also needed troops to garrison there.

In fact, Chenyuanhou Mansion was not very willing to compete for this credit.

Fifty thousand troops can be maintained in Xuzhou, which is fully affordable given the situation in Xuzhou.

As long as they can defend Xuzhou and there are no problems on the border, they can rest assured.

Why bother with Yueyang Pond?

There may not be any benefits to offend the Fire Hunters.

"Prince Wu, tell me, would you rather lead your own troops to retake Yueyang Lake, or assist the son of Marquis Chenyuan?"

Wei Xuan's gaze fell on Prince Wu.

Prince Wu also has a private army in the north, which only has a few thousand people in total.

First of all, it’s not easy for him to reveal it directly.

When the eldest princess asked him to cooperate before, he did not agree, but tried his best to conceal his strength.

It is simply impossible for him to take thousands of people to retake Yueyang Lake now.

If he becomes the commander-in-chief, he will be sending his private soldiers to die, and the throne may not necessarily fall on him in the end. Why bother?

Even if he is not chosen as the crown prince, he can still return to the north. With thousands of private soldiers in his hands, he can still live a free and easy life.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to assist the son of Marquis Chenyuan." Prince Wu immediately expressed his intention.

"Prince Wu is more sober than some people. But Grand Tutor Xun, you are old and have worked hard for the court for half your life. You should enjoy your old age and don't have to suffer in the court anymore."

Wei Xuan pointed directly at Grand Tutor Xun.

Not being able to help at all, but just causing trouble.

The older you get, the more confused you become.

He cannot see the situation clearly, yet still thinks he is upright.

When Grand Tutor Xun heard this, he was so angry that he almost died on the spot.

Xun Ying, the son of Grand Tutor Xun and the Minister of Rites, immediately stepped forward to support Grand Tutor Xun.

"Duke Weiguo, why do you say that? My father was devoted to the country and loyal to the emperor, but when he comes to your mouth, it's just a mockery."
