Chapter 36 Master Wang Returns(1/2)

It wasn't until late at night that Guo Tianyi returned to the Forbidden City.

These past few days have been the happiest times since Guo Tianyi traveled through time.

King Wei and others seemed to be avoiding his attacks, and did not come to find trouble with him at all.

"Your Highness, King of Han, your Majesty asked an old slave to ask you, what are you busy with outside the city?"

Wei An had been waiting outside Chengde Palace for a long time, and smiled when he saw Guo Tianyi.

"Didn't I, the king, say so?"

"Working on something important."

"Eunuch Wei, it's so late. Could it be that your father has some agenda?"

Guo Tianyi glanced at Wei An and said.

His.

The emperor’s eyes are really everywhere, right?

Today I traveled in casual clothes and left the city.

Does this old emperor even know that he has left the city?

"Your Highness." Wei An cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty still hopes that Your Highness will not delve too much into some strange skills."

"Eunuch Wei." Guo Tianyi said seriously, "The things that the king is busy with now are definitely important things that benefit the country and the people. However, due to some reasons, I want you to keep it a secret for the time being."

"Natural, natural..."

Wei An nodded and said, "Your Highness, are you true about the great things that will benefit the country and the people?"

Wei An remembered that Guo Tianyi had been tinkering with some broken fishing nets in the backyard of Chengde Palace before, and he couldn't figure out what the King of Han was doing.

"Can I still coax you?" Guo Tianyi said angrily, "I said last time that this is a gift to my father and the world. Father-in-law, please stop asking."

"well..."

Wei An looked at the mysterious Guo Tianyi and said with a bit more respect, "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked Your Highness to go outside the West City Gate the day after tomorrow to welcome Master Wang back to the court, and His Royal Highness the First Prince..."

"Um?"

"Why let me go?"

Guo Tianyi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Is this a big gift from the old emperor?

This time the eldest prince led an army of 300,000 to the expedition, but only 180,000 came back.

The remaining 120,000 were all killed in battle.

Moreover, they can come back safely, and I owe a lot of credit to them.

This is a good time to win over the troops.

"That's right." Wei An looked at Guo Tianyi's sudden realization and continued, "There is one more thing. His Majesty asked the old slave to tell His Highness how to deal with the eldest prince, and His Highness still needs to come up with an idea."

"This...?" Guo Tianyi frowned and said, "I can't make a decision on this matter now. I will wait until the king personally goes to the imperial study room tomorrow to give His Majesty an answer."

"good."

"Then the old slave resigned."

"If you need anything, Your Highness, just give me your instructions."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly."

"Your Highness is welcome..."

Watching Wei An's retreating figure, Guo Tianyi couldn't help but frown.

"Your Highness, are you worried about the First Prince?"

After a while, Qiu Yu, who was standing behind Guo Tianyi, asked.

Hearing this, Guo Tianyi responded, "Mr. Qiu, tell me, it's true that my father asked me to win over the soldiers, but how should the eldest prince handle this? It's really difficult...?"

The captured prince, and the captured prince after a defeat, is not suitable for him to deal with, right?

This is not something you should come up with.

I made it light because I'm afraid I won't be satisfied with it.

If it gets serious, most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty will not be very friendly to him, and they will take the opportunity to make trouble.

What should I do?

"Your Highness, in your opinion..." Qiu Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty's move is to test His Majesty's decisiveness and ruthlessness."

"Um?"

"Sir, please speak clearly."

Guo Tianyi looked at Qiu Yu and poured him a cup of hot tea himself.

"Your Highness." Qiu Yu cupped his hands and said, "According to my law, if it were an ordinary general to do something like this to the eldest prince, it would definitely be a serious crime of beheading. Moreover, your majesty has already deposed the prince, so your highness only needs to give the order in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies.

Just put him under house arrest..."

"this...?"

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Father just asked for my opinion and didn't ask me to handle it beyond my authority?"

"And the eldest prince had a good relationship with me before..."

Guo Tianyi was shocked, this Qiu Yu was too cruel.

Put him under house arrest directly. The old emperor hasn't spoken yet. He has such great power?

"Your Highness doesn't know, house arrest is the best way." Qiu Yu said seriously, "I also know that the eldest prince has a good relationship with you. Do you not believe it? I will see tomorrow. His Majesty now intends to train you to be the crown prince. He will definitely put these things into consideration."

I leave the handling of the matter to you, and..."

"With your orders, Your Highness, the eldest prince can still avoid death."

"If it is handed over to His Majesty, it will definitely be abolished directly. Moreover, the relatives of the eldest prince's family represent the Queen's lineage, and the Queen's lineage has a close relationship with King Wei. The hearts of these relatives will be biased in the future.

Your Highness?"

After listening to Qiu Yu's suggestion, Guo Tianyi suddenly realized.

He is worthy of being the counselor who helped King Zhou’s son trick King Wei to death.

This move kills three birds with one stone. Is it beneficial but not harmful to you?

"good."

"The king will go to the imperial study room to meet with his father and the queen tomorrow before making a decision."

"Mr. Qiu, it's getting late, you should go to rest early."

"Yes, Your Highness, I am resigning."

........

The next day.

Guo Tianyi rarely went to court in the morning.

It was not as expected by Qiu Yu.

After going to court, Emperor Fengjing directly threw a blank imperial edict to Guo Tianyi.

And it's stamped.

"Yier, what should you do? You can write it yourself."

"Yes, Father, I will take my leave."

After that, Guo Tianyi finished the ceremony and returned to Chengde Palace with the blank imperial edict.

Early morning on the third day.

Guo Tianyi, wearing a gold silk python robe, looked majestic and came to the west gate surrounded by an honor guard.

Not long after.

Then I saw a huge group of people appear in my field of vision.

In a carriage headed by.

Sitting there was a man who looked slightly similar to Guo Tianyi.

It was none other than the former prince Guo Tiande.

Seeing Guo Tianyi wearing a python robe exactly like his own, Guo Tiande quickly got off the carriage.

"Wow~"

"See His Highness the King of Han."
