ChapterC.956: Leaving, getting more and more chaotic
The Emperor has been thinking about seizing the military power from the Eldest Prince and his maternal family for decades. Now the Eldest Prince takes the initiative to hand over the military power. It was deceitful and poisonous. The Emperor will swallow it alive, even if he dies. He would hand over the military power he had obtained to others, not to mention that he had not found anything suspicious at all. At most, his eldest son was too stupid and silly. To please him, he was even willing to hand over the military power.
If he had known that this son was so stupid and wanted his love so much, he should have taken action a long time ago. It was a waste of more than ten years.
The Emperor was a suspicious person. After getting the words from Xiao Tianyao, he sent someone to check again. After confirming that the Eldest Prince had no other intentions, the Emperor decisively agreed to the eldest prince\'s request and allowed him to handle all the matters in his hands. If he hands it over, he will be allowed to go to the temple to teach and practice for one year.
To show his benevolence as a father and his wisdom as the monarch, the Emperor not only praised the Eldest Prince but also decreed to confer him the title of Prince Rui. He was so wise that he didn\'t know if he was mocking him or praising the Eldest Prince for his wisdom.
Of course, except for the Eldest Prince, the other princes of the Central Empire were not left behind. The prince titles seemed to be free of charge. The Emperor gave the eldest prince a first-grade prince title, while the others were only second-grade princes. Even the third prince, whom he loved the most, only managed to get a second-grade prince.
However, to think that the title of a first-grade prince means that the Emperor values the Eldest Prince, then it was wrong. If people think about what the Eldest Prince gave to the Emperor and what the other princes gave to the emperor, they will understand the difference between the Emperor\'s treatment of the Eldest Prince and the other princes.
Even though the Eldest Prince conferred military power, the Eldest Prince still had no status in the heart of the Emperor. Giving him the position of a first-class prince was just to seal the Eldest Prince\'s mouth and calm the hearts of others.
“The Emperor is something to do this!” Lin Chujiu couldn’t help laughing after receiving the news.
Does the Emperor dislike the Eldest Prince and hate him enough? Even if the other princes had to receive the title, did they have to join the eldest prince? Although their grades were different, the Emperor\'s move still slapped the Eldest Prince hard in the face.
“I guess the Eldest Prince will come again.” Xiao Tianyao also smiled.
His power in the Central Empire was too small, and he could do too little. He can only calculate people\'s hearts, and once he makes a move, he is sure.
“He has no soldiers and no power now. And he is going to the Imperial Temple today. It is appropriate to say goodbye.” Lin Chujiu nodded in agreement but knew in her heart that the Eldest Prince would be complaining and dissatisfied when he came this time.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao was here. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu have not even exchanged a few words when the Eldest Prince arrives.
The three of them were sitting in the middle of the garden, chatting casually. The three of them were not afraid of anyone eavesdropping. If they could eavesdrop under Xiao Tianyao\'s eyes, it would be useless for them to be on guard.
"Tell me, Imperial father did this, what does he mean? Does he think that I am a fool who can\'t tell who is good and who is bad? He treats me like this, does he regard me as his son?" The Eldest Prince has a pure nature and does not want to retreat. He used his military power as bait to seduce the third prince, so he was still a little uneasy, but the Emperor\'s move wiped out the remaining love between father and son and brotherhood in his heart.
“I am also his son, and I have his blood and bones in my body. How could he be so cruel to me?” The Eldest Prince almost burst into tears when he talked about the sad part.
"I don\'t ask him to favor me, nor do I ask him to treat me special. I just ask him not to hate me so much and suppress me everywhere. Is this too much to ask?"
"Xiao Tianyao, why do you think? We are all his sons, but why the treatment is so different? Even if the Third Prince doesn\'t do anything, he loves and supports him. I have been fighting for years. When he tells me to go east, I don\'t go west. I always listen to him. So why, why does he still hate me?"
“Xiao Tianyao, you tell me…”
The Eldest Prince complained about two-quarters of an hour and did not stop until he was thirsty. When the Eldest Prince complained, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu did not say a word from the beginning to the end. They only waited for the Eldest Prince to finish complaining and then took their time. He said: "From now on, just think of him as the Emperor."
Only a fool like the Eldest Prince would treat the Emperor as his father. None of the seventh princes would do such a stupid thing.
"You\'re right, I don\'t feel sad if you think about it this way." The Eldest Prince only came to complain, not to get any ideas from Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu.
Now, he doesn\'t need to ask for advice. He was about to go to a temple outside the city to stay for a year. During this year, he will be very peaceful, so peaceful that his Imperial Father will not pay attention to him.
"I\'ll leave the city in 2 days. You should be careful in the Central Empire from now on. I told my uncle and the others to help you solve these troublesome things and leave the Central Empire as soon as possible. In addition, if you need anything, just go to them. If you can, go to the Hua Family again. In short, it’s best not to touch the Lin Family. The Lin family’s reputation is the worst among the seven great families. The Hua Family is fine.”
No matter what the future holds, the Eldest Prince regarded Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu as friends at this moment, even though the process of their acquaintance was not very pleasant.
“When you\'re outside, do your best on the surface." Xiao Tianyao has always wanted to avenge a grudge and repay a favor. The Eldest Prince has done so much for him, so naturally, he doesn’t mind speaking a few more words.
This year was the dormant period for the Eldest Prince, and it would also be his incubation period. If he fails, he might not be able to come back, but at least he and his uncle\'s family can be saved.
"Don\'t worry, my mother left me a lot of people back then. I never used these people, no matter how difficult it was, but now I will use them." Those people were left by his mother for him to protect himself and also help him ascend to the throne. It was just he had never figured it out before.
Now that he has figured it out, how can he be willing to protect himself if he wants to take the plunge?
"You have a good mother, so you should be satisfied." People can\'t be too greedy. Even if he has never seen her, Xiao Tianyao can imagine what a smart person the Eldest Prince\'s mother was. Otherwise, she would not be able to teach someone like the Eldest Prince, who was pure but not stupid.
“You say that as if I am greedy.” The Eldest Prince snorted angrily and then walked away arrogantly.
He also had to say goodbye to the Emperor and his seventh brother. He was very busy and had no time to chat with Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu.
The Eldest Prince spent two days visiting everyone who needed to leave, and then left the capital in a low-key manner, without even a single person to see him off.
However, this does not mean that no one knows that he left the capital. Everyone from all sides was paying attention to the Eldest Prince\'s actions. They know very well that with the Eldest Prince\'s departure, the pattern of the imperial capital will be reshuffled, and it will become more and more chaotic……
