[Chapter 2105 Prince]
However, Cao Kui’s spirit is not bad.
“What’s the matter with you coming to me?” Song Yan sat down opposite Cao Kui.
Cao Kui picked up the jug and poured a glass for Song Yan, then filled it up for himself. After the two clink the glasses and drink, he opened his mouth and said, “When I was still King Yan, my greatest wish was to become emperor. , but after becoming the emperor, I realized that it is really tiring to be the emperor, except for you and Jinger, everyone has nothing but awe in front of me, I am afraid this is also the origin of the previous emperors calling themselves widows and orphans!”
“You want to abdicate?”
Song Yan asked with a smile.
“I do have this idea. I guess that if I continue to be, I will either become a stupor, or I will be exhausted to death!” Cao Kui said with a wry smile.
“Haha!” Song Yan smiled, he remembered a sentence in a book he read in his previous life, marriage is like a besieged city, those outside the city want to come in, and those inside the city want to go out.
“Who do you think is a suitable successor of my sons?” Cao Kui asked.
Hearing this, Song Yan’s mouth couldn’t help showing a hint of playfulness. The country of Yan has a prince. Now, when he asked him this, he was obviously dissatisfied with the current prince.
Prince Cao Yi is in his early 40s, so he can be relatively mediocre. If he is not the eldest son, he will not be the prince at all. The most important thing is that this Cao Yi prefers to have fun. After more than ten years, it is even more exaggerated than his father Cao Kui. After all, Cao Kui has only sealed three concubines in the past six years.
Because he is addicted to wine, although Cao Yi is only in his early forties, he looks like he is fifty years old.
Therefore, Cao Kui was very dissatisfied with Cao Yi, and even thought of abolishing his crown prince.
“Do you prefer King Wei?”
Song Yan asked.
“Um!”
Cao Kui nodded. King Wei Cao Chrome was his fifth son. He was in his early thirties. When he rebelled, a large army was led by Cao Chrome, and it only took two days to destroy a city. His military ability is very strong. .
But Cao Chrome’s character is a bit ruthless, and it can be said that he will do anything.
He has always been dissatisfied with Cao Kui’s appointment of Cao Yi as the prince. If he is allowed to become the emperor, his other sons may not have a good life. Otherwise, even if many ministers object, Cao Kui will abolish Cao Yi and make Cao Chrome the prince. .
Song Yan naturally knew Cao Kui’s worries.
After thinking for a while, he said, “Do it according to your idea. Isn’t there me? As long as I am here, Cao Chrome will not dare to mess around!”
“Haha! Good! Come on, let’s have another drink!”
Cao Kui laughed and said, he invited Song Yan to enter the palace, didn’t he just want him to make this promise, I didn’t expect Song Yan to agree so happily.
the next day.
Cao Kui summoned Cao Chrome, the king of Wei, to enter the palace and gave him many awards.
Hearing this news, the princelings couldn’t help panicking.
The Wei Wang party was greatly excited.
And many of the courtiers turned to King Wei, and for a time, King Wei’s prestige greatly increased.
And on the second day.
The prince entered the palace and asked to see Cao Kui, but he could not see him.
In the next few days, the prince went to the palace every day to ask for a meeting, but Cao Kui avoided seeing him, and even at the end, an oral order came to reprimand the prince Cao Yi.
Immediately, the direction of the imperial court became clear, and he knew that the emperor probably abolished Cao Yi.
For a time, the Wei Wang party’s momentum became stronger.
Three days later.
Wei Wang Cao Chrome was assassinated in the street.
The King of Wei was slightly injured, and dozens of assassins were all killed by the palace guards.
After learning the news, Cao Kui’s face was very gloomy.
Just the next day.
Prince Cao Yi went to Xiaoyao Wangfu to meet Song Yan.
As soon as they met Cao Yi, he cried, “Brother-in-law, help!”
Although Song Yan was just an idle prince with no power or power, his influence in the imperial court and the army was unparalleled.
Not to mention that the current cabinet chief is his father-in-law.
Let’s just say that the governors of the provinces, there are eight people who are his original subordinates.
By the way, today’s Chen Chong has been promoted to a provincial governor, and his cultivation has also stepped into the master realm.
Therefore, as long as he has Song Yan’s support, his position will be stabilized by three points, which is why Cao Yi came to beg Song Yan pitifully.
“Prince, what are you doing!”
Song Yan said speechlessly, this Cao Yi is too useless.
It’s just that he is a little strange. Who gave him advice and asked him to beg him?
“Brother-in-law, I didn’t send the person who assassinated King Wei yesterday!”
Prince said.
“I know!”
Song Yan nodded, but Cao Yi didn’t have the guts yet. In his opinion, yesterday’s assassin was either Cao Chrome’s scheming, or other princes who wanted to fish in troubled waters, but it was definitely not Cao Yi, he didn’t have the guts yet.
“Brother-in-law, the royal father seems to want to abolish me, or else, go and beg the royal father for me!”
The prince pleaded again.
“Prince, are you satisfied with your current life?” Song Yan asked.
“Very satisfied!”
After thinking for a while, Cao Yi nodded. He was a man without ambition, and he did not have a strong desire for the throne.
Song Yan said: “Being an emperor may not be as beautiful as you think, it is better to be an idle prince, instead of letting the emperor abolish you, you might as well resign yourself, and you can also sell a favor to King Wei, and you will give up the throne to you. He is, will he still have the face to deal with you in the future?”
“What if King Wei refuses to let me go?”
The prince was worried.
“Isn’t there me? He dares not to talk about brotherhood, I’ll take care of him!”
Song Yan assured.
After half an hour.
Prince Cao Yi left Xiaoyao Palace.
And King Wei Cao Chrome also got the news that the prince was going to Xiaoyao Palace. His face was a little gloomy. He was very clear about Song Yan’s weight in the state of Yan. If Song Yan wanted to protect the prince, his father probably would not. Abolish the prince.
“No, I can’t sit still!”
King Wei decided to call in the think tanks to discuss.
Just then, someone reported that the prince was visiting.
Wei Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he led someone to welcome Cao Yi in person.
“Fifth brother, I want to talk to you!”
As soon as they met, Prince Cao Yi went straight to the topic.
“You all go down!”
Cao Chrome waved his hands and backed away, then smiled and said, “Prince, if you have anything to say, please say it!”
“Fifth brother, tomorrow I will write a letter to the emperor, please resign as the prince, and recommend you to be the prince!” Cao Yi said.
Hearing this, Prestige was taken aback for a moment, and then he pretended to be panic and said, “Big brother, what are you talking about, little brother has no intention of peeping at the prince’s position!”
Cao Yi smiled and said: “Fifth brother, you don’t have to worry, I’m not visiting you, I’m telling the truth, I have no ambitions, you are more suitable than me, I just hope that the fifth brother can still take care of the brotherhood between us in the future. share!”
Seeing that Cao Yi’s expression was not fake, Cao Chrome finally nodded.
the next day.
Crown Prince Cao Yi Shang Zhezi resigned as crown prince, and the whole dynasty was shocked.
Emperor Yan, Cao Kuizhun, abolished Cao Yi’s crown prince and made him King Fu.
Three days later, Cao Kui ordered Cao Chrome to be crowned prince.
Then, Emperor Yan issued another decree to let the crown prince exercise the power to supervise the country because of his physical discomfort. He was preparing to pass the throne to Cao Chrome. As long as Cao Chrome completely took over the court, he would voluntarily abdicate.
And Cao Chrome, who had gained power, was very happy, and the next day he began to supervise the country and deal with important matters between the DPRK and China.
