Chapter 730: Poisoned (3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“With the Emperor overseeing the capital, the vassal kings will definitely not dare to cause trouble.”
“But now…”
Emperor Yan frowned. “Just say it.”
“Now that Your Majesty is poisoned and has yet to appoint a crown prince. Once there is a change in the capital, I’m afraid that before the Chu Jin army moves out, our army will be in chaos.”
After the Emperor died, there was no heir left. Each vassal king was bound to have ambitions and fight for the throne.
At that time, it would be the end of the Great Yan with internal and external troubles.
Emperor Yan’s heart trembled.
The Imperial Advisor’s words were actually quite restrained.
Even if he didn’t allow the vassal kings to send troops, as long as he didn’t leave behind an heir and died, the vassal kings would still cause trouble.
Furthermore, even if he left behind an edict, some people would not believe it. Those with ambition would also find an opportunity to cause trouble.
At that time, the Great Yan would also face internal and external troubles.
The only safer way was to appoint a crown prince.
Moreover, he had to help the Crown Prince establish his prestige as much as possible while he was still alive and reduce the ambitions of the vassal kings.
Prince Anyang…the Imperial Advisor favored his eldest son.
His eldest son, Murong Xuyang, had average talent, but he knew how to make good use of people. He indeed had the potential to become an Emperor.
In addition, he had the Liang family as his in-laws and the Imperial Consort’s mother as support. He was indeed the most powerful among the princes.
At the same time, in other words, if he did not choose his eldest son, after he passed away, the new Emperor would probably not be able to sit firmly on the throne.
The current Great Yan couldn’t afford all this…
At the thought of this, Emperor Yan closed his eyes.
Was he really going to make Prince Anyang the Crown Prince and pass the throne to him?
He couldn’t bear to…
“Summon Prince Anyang to the capital…” Finally, Emperor Yan spoke.
Even if he wasn’t willing to give up, he had to.
He couldn’t possibly let the Great Yan die with him.
If Prince Anyang succeeded to the throne in the future and could turn the tide, he could be considered to have an explanation to his ancestors.
Liu Wuji’s expression changed slightly.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” He immediately bowed to Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan looked up tiredly. “Also, other than Prince Anyang, the other vassal kings will not participate in the battle for the time being.”
“Send a message to Prince Anyang. Before he enters the capital, send his generals and ten thousand elite soldiers to the Iron Gate to resist the Chu Jin army.”
Liu Wuji was stunned.
“Yes.” Then, he bowed to Emperor Yan again.
10,000 elite soldiers, this was almost all the troops that the vassal kings could mobilize on the surface.
The Emperor was still worried about Prince Anyang.
At this time, let Prince Anyang pull the army to the border and summon him to the capital.
He also used Prince Anyang as a hostage to control the ten thousand soldiers at the border so that they would not dare to act rashly.
However, this did not matter. After all, according to his original plan, Anyang County had to send troops.
Currently, the number of Nangong soldiers that could be mobilized from Qingshi Town was 4,890.
Prince Anyang only needed to add another 5,000 people to make up the numbers.
Most importantly, the Nangong Army was all brave and skilled in battle. They were all existences that could take on ten people at once.
As long as the Nangong Army reached the border, he would be at ease.
As for the capital.
The Emperor did not have much time left. With him around, Prince Anyang would definitely succeed the throne.
Emperor Yan looked at Liu Wuji again.
“In addition, the Arithmetic Book…”
Liu Wuji quickly raised his head and looked at Emperor Yan.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan smiled weakly.
As expected, only when it concerned his granddaughter would he act more like a mortal.
“The Arithmetic Book has been in the capital for more than a month. How’s the response?” Emperor Yan asked.
Liu Wuji cupped his hands.
“The response is very good. The Academy’s Headmasters and students all praise it, so do the common people.”
“Alright.” Emperor Yan smiled and nodded.
Liu Wuji raised his head and looked at it, feeling a little puzzled.
“Tomorrow morning, pass down a decree to promote the Arithmetic Books throughout the country.”
Liu Wuji was shocked.
The capital had only been testing for a month, and they had only tested the first fourteen volumes of the Arithmetic Books. This was going to be implemented nationwide.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan looked at Liu Wuji weakly.
“I have been in power for more than twenty years and have not made any achievements. On the contrary, we lost cities, ceded land, and paid reparations, leaving a disaster for the Great Yan.”
“There’s not much time left…I have to hurry.”
“I can’t let future generations only remember that I’m an incompetent ruler who ceded territory and paid reparations when they read history books.”
“Arithmetic Books…” Emperor Yan panted and smiled.
“I have read it more than once. It’s a good book, a good book that can be passed down through the ages.”
“I have to promote it before 1 die. Let future generations know that this book was promoted by me.”
Emperor Yan looked at Liu Wuji and smiled brightly.
“I have to thank the Imperial Preceptor for writing this book.”
At this moment, he was truly grateful..
