Chapter 42: To increase the title of the Crown Prince of Tang

I!
One word.

Fang Yiai felt like he was struck by lightning, it was unbelievable.

At this moment, he understood everything.

The system of primogeniture.

The elders are absolutely supportive, but the ones who care the most and support the most are the eldest sons.

Because they just need this identity.

Nothing to do.

Everything in the house belongs to him.

My father asked me to go to the study. Do I need to explain what this means?

"I know you are close to the King of Wei."

Fang Yizhi said, "I don't care what the King of Wei is thinking, but you'd better remember this."

"Don't get involved in some things."

Fang Xuanling sipped his tea silently without saying anything.

The eldest son of an aristocratic family or a royal family has a very arbitrary status and power in the family.

The prince has great power, but it is limited to a certain extent.

He has to face the emperor above, the officials in the middle, and the people below.

The prince is responsible to the people of the world for the use of his power.

In contrast, the eldest sons outside the imperial family have very free power and status.

They don’t have so many concerns. As the future head of the family, what in the house doesn’t belong to him?

It can be said that the eldest son’s voice in the family is no less than that of the head of the family. In order to cultivate the eldest son into a talented person and make him a qualified head of the family in the future, the head of the family will make appropriate concessions.

They did not have any suspicion from the emperor and only wanted the family heritage to continue.

The more outstanding and excellent the eldest son is, the more satisfied and happier they are.

He would not depose the eldest son because he threatens his position as the head of the family.

That would be self-destruction.

Fang Yizheng is the eldest son of the Fang family.

His words were equivalent to what Fang Xuanling said in the Fang family.

At this moment, Fang Yizheng's warning to Fang Yiai was similar to the Crown Prince's reprimanding of the King of Wei.

In the future, Dalang will have to be the head of this family.

The future title will also be inherited by Dalang.

Faced with this situation, all Fang Xuanling could do was remain silent.

"What did I do?"

Fang Yiai refused to accept the decision and said arrogantly, "We have already separated."

"Are you going to teach me a lesson?"

"You haven't even inherited Yeye's title yet, and you're already showing off to me."

Bang!
Fang Xuanling put down the teacup heavily and smashed it on the desk, looking very ugly.

This scared Fang Yiai.

"Ji Lang, I'm not kidding you."

"Although you are married to Princess Gaoyang, you are still a member of my Fang family."

"It doesn't matter if you do something stupid, but if it involves the Fang family, then I must make it clear."

Fang Yizheng said in a deep voice.

Fang Yiai snorted, "Do you think I want to steal your title and your property?"

"joke."

"I, Fang Yiai, don't need it. I will go get it myself."

Fang Yizhi scolded, "You are still stubborn, aren't you?"

"At worst, I'll leave the Fang family."

Bang!
Fang Xuanling slapped the table with his hand, his face turned pale, and he said, "Asshole!"

"Leaving the Fang family?"

"You have my Fang Xuanling's blood flowing in your body. Can you just break away from me?"

"Do you think your future is promising by following the King of Wei?"

"madness!"

"Your father is now being roasted on the fire by the prince."

"do you know."

"what!"

Fang Yizhi added: "I have analyzed it with Yeye. The reason why the prince wants Yeye to do something is most likely because of the unclear relationship between you and the King of Wei."

"So much so that the prince thought Ye Ye's attitude was ambiguous." "Erlang, don't you understand that if your father is caught between your majesty and the prince, our Fang family will be doomed if we are not careful."

Fang Yiai was a little frightened. He blurted out, "Isn't it the old fox Changsun?"

"Why is it our house?"

Angry words are just angry words.

Fang Yiai was not so stupid that he could not figure out why he had a place with the King of Wei.

Isn't it that the King of Wei wants to win him over, so as to win over his father and gain the support of the Prime Minister?

If his father falls, he will be nothing.

"What is the relationship between Duke Zhao and the prince? He is his uncle."

Fang Yizhi said: "No matter how the prince scolds us, we will be able to reconcile for the sake of family affection."

"What is the relationship between my Fang family and the prince?"

"Did you marry Princess Gaoyang?"

Fang Yiai walked out of the study and shivered uncontrollably when the cold wind blew.

He couldn't accept it. How could the situation, where the Crown Prince was originally in weak power and the King of Wei was in strong power, suddenly become so dangerous?

"Yeah yeah."

Fang Yizhi said: "If we let Erlang continue to develop, something bad will happen sooner or later."

"If not today, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Fang Xuanling shook his head slightly and said, "It all depends on the Crown Prince's attitude."

"You should pay more attention to it."

"But it's hard work, father."

"No problem."

……

Fang Xuanling went to Liangyi Hall early to meet Li Er and reported in detail what the Eastern Palace had discussed.

"Your Majesty, this is the attitude of the East Palace."

"The Crown Prince has ordered me to inform the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple to send envoys to Tuyuhun."

"What is your Majesty's opinion?"

Fang Xuanling asked.

This is what the prince ordered.

There is no rush for other things, just finalize this matter first.

Li Er nodded thoughtfully and said, "The prince said something very well."

"Although a daughter who is married off is like water spilled."

"But our Tang Dynasty is Princess Honghua's family. If the princess is wronged in Tuyuhun, how can we sit back and do nothing?"

Fang Xuanling was delighted and asked, "Your Majesty has agreed?"

"Well, let's pass the order to the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple."

Li Er saw that Fang Xuanling did not accept the order, but was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, this is what happened."

Fang Xuanling lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "The Crown Prince has ordered that an imperial decree be issued to the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple."

"After His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the title of Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty should be added."

"The specifications are: the decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the instruction of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty..."

Hear the words.

Li Er suddenly stood up, staring fiercely, and shouted angrily: "Rebellion!"

"Are you really going to deceive God?"

"I have issued an order to add his title of Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace."

This is what Fang Xuanling was worried about.

You are saying that the Eastern Palace is usurping its authority.

That's barely enough.

But what the East Palace means is that after approval from the Taiji Palace, shouldn’t the edict and the decree be together?

If not added.

The prince suggested that the East Palace could issue orders on its own without going through the Taiji Palace.

In other words, the Eastern Palace's decrees, even if they do not go through the Taiji Palace, have the power to issue decrees directly to the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple and have them executed.

But since Fang Xuanling was asked to do the job, the Eastern Palace assumed that the Taiji Palace would know about it.

The meaning is very clear. I, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, fear the emperor and respect his power.

"Call Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji, and Chu Suiliang to discuss the matter."

Li Er was very unhappy and waved his hands in annoyance.
