Marry a Duke

Chapter 252 Want Power

The emperor has spies and naturally knows everything that happens outside the palace.

The emperor would rather pretend that he knew nothing. His eldest sister used blood ties to suppress him everywhere, and he didn't want to offend Wei Xuan easily. After all, Wei Xuan was of great use.

Moreover, Wei Xuan's temperament has been restrained a lot now. Once he really disregards everything, the consequences will be terrifying.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."

"Just tell her that I have already stayed in the Queen's bedroom and ask her to come back another day." The Emperor had a terrible headache.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Before the eunuch could finish his words, the eldest princess rushed in.

“Your Majesty, if you don’t make the decision for me today, I will hit my head against a pillar and die in your imperial study.” The princess said coldly, with murderous intent in her eyes.

Seeing this, the emperor was extremely helpless and had to let the eunuch go down first.

"When did the emperor sister get so angry?"

"Wei Xuanxin killed six of my guards in front of me. He undoubtedly wanted to kill me. He is so lawless and disregards the royal family. If the emperor continues to indulge him, I am afraid that no one in Dayue will be able to suppress him anymore."

The emperor looked embarrassed.

"Why would he suddenly kill my sister's guards?" It's really hard to understand.

"He just relied on his favor from the emperor to do whatever he wanted. He was known as the War Ghost. I didn't know that he killed people without mercy. He was not an ordinary person."

When the eldest princess thought of that moment, she still couldn't believe it.

She knew that Wei Xuan was very capable, but she never believed that he could be so capable on his own.

In the past, he had achieved his current status only thanks to the achievements left by his father and brothers, as well as his own talents.

The people she sent only brought back his name as the God of War.

But his name as the War Ghost was not brought back.

"Why doesn't my sister know? I know." The emperor said in surprise, "In the previous battle with Daliang, even the old Duke of Wei, Wei Qing, didn't get the upper hand. It was Wei Xuan who went to the battlefield and turned the disadvantage around. He does have talents and skills that should not be underestimated. He has been very suppressed."

The emperor sighed.

Therefore, he never understood why his elder sister had to go against Wei Xuan.

There is absolutely no benefit.

"As long as Wei Xuan wants, he can kill anyone, even you and me?" Apart from him, the only people living in Weiguogong's area are some old, weak, women and scholars. He really has nothing to worry about.

Once someone targets him or the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, he will do anything to protect everyone in the mansion.

But the imperial sister targeted him everywhere.

"So, Your Majesty, just let him go on like this? Why not mobilize the imperial guards, raid his house, chop off his head, and leave him no chance to threaten the royal family again." The eldest princess roared.

The emperor's expression changed slightly.

He had always known that the imperial sister had a flamboyant personality.

"Royal sister, do you know how famous Wei Xuan is outside of Dayue? After the battle with Daliang, the countries and tribes around Dayue, big and small, no longer dare to take advantage of Dayue. They are not afraid of Dayue's national prestige, they are afraid of Wei Xuan. As long as Wei Xuan sends troops to any country or tribe, it is enough to destroy them."

For so many years, the emperor has been willing to tolerate.

It is to allow the people of Dayue to recuperate.

He wanted to be an emperor in a peaceful and prosperous era.

Instead of having to fight wars everywhere, although the territory was expanded, the people were suffering.

"As long as Wei Xuan is alive, the countries and tribes around Dayue will not dare to have any ideas. Sister, with such a god of war who can control the surrounding areas, shouldn't we worship him well? I didn't agree with your tricks on Wei Xuan, but you have already done it. If I don't care, the relationship between you will only get worse.

Sister, I agreed to your request and granted Wei Xuan a marriage. I also wanted to suppress him. He married an insignificant little maid. At least, he and his wife's family will never have the opportunity to expand their power. "

But the emperor never expected that the maidservant back then is now the daughter of Marquis Chen Yuan.

The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Chenyuan's Mansion can also help each other in terms of interests.

"In the past few years, Wei Xuan has never done anything excessive. Sister, are you going to force him to do something more extreme? He could have killed everyone and made your Princess Mansion live in turmoil, but he didn't do that. All of this was Wei Xuan's tolerance."

The emperor sighed.

"Royal sister, now, Wei Xuan is just telling you that he doesn't want to tolerate it anymore."

What reason is there for a man who almost lost his life to continue to tolerate it?

Even as the emperor, he couldn't do this.

The eldest princess didn't believe it. She just thought that the emperor's heart was leaning towards Wei Xuan.

"Your Majesty, you think too highly of him. You must give me an explanation today. Wei Xuan killed six of my guards. I want him to pay with his life."

The eldest princess curled the corners of her lips.

It would be best if Wei Xuan could be eliminated.

It was because of Wei Xuan's presence that the emperor ignored her wishes time and time again.

She is the emperor's sister and helped the emperor ascend the throne.

But she is no longer the most important person in the emperor's heart. Once he sits on the throne, he thinks she is a useless person?

She would never let the emperor think so.

"Royal sister, please don't make trouble. I will have someone investigate this matter. You lost six guards, and I can replace them with ten or even twenty. They are all first-class people."

The emperor was already getting a little impatient.

"My sister sent dozens of people to Jiangnan to kill him, but they still failed. He killed dozens of secret guards by himself. These dozens of secret guards alone can secretly kill an army."

The emperor feels that the eldest princess's brain has been getting less and less effective in recent years.

Maybe, it’s because I only think about myself in everything.

"You know, Wei Xuan's power is enough to resist an entire army by himself."

What did his silly sister want to use to stop Wei Xuan?

The emperor’s order?

"Your Majesty, you think he is a high and mighty god, but I don't think so." The eldest princess was even more angry. She could no longer tolerate the fact that the emperor always favored Wei Xuan. "Your Majesty, just give me the token of the imperial guards, and I will find a way to deal with him."

solve?

The emperor had a bad feeling.

"Imperial sister, you know that this is against the rules. The token of the Imperial Guard will only be in my hands. No one else can take it away." The Imperial Guards obey the orders of the Emperor directly.

The leader of the imperial guards was also the emperor's personal attendant.

At this time, Eunuch Liu came to report.

"Your Majesty, Duke Weiguo requests an audience."

The emperor glanced at the eldest princess.

"Is it necessary for Imperial Sister to take shelter?"

The eldest princess is very angry, so how could she be willing to avoid him?

"Why should I avoid him? Then let the emperor hand over half of the city defense forces to me in front of him. After I have dealt with him, I will naturally return them to the emperor."
