So, Nangong Yuanyi straightened his figure and tore off the fake beard on his mouth.
The British Duke was once a military general. Although he was older, his eyesight and acuity were not diminished at all. When he saw a face that was almost exactly the same as the late emperor's, he jumped up from his seat in shock: "You are... so similar. "
Mei Zongzheng explained: "He is Nangong Yuanyi, the youngest son of Prince Yu. It is normal for the descendants of the Nangong family to look like the late emperor."
Yingying said fairly: "It turns out he is the prince." Although Yingying has been out of Beijing for ten years, he has heard of the name Nangong Yuanyi of Prince Yu's palace.
At that time, when he was still an official in the court, the Prince of Yu did not pass the title of Crown Prince to his eldest son or second son, but it was passed to the younger son by an imperial decree from the emperor.
However, no one had any doubts. The step princess was a princess of the Zhou Kingdom. A majestic princess was willing to marry to a prince in the Northern Dynasty as a second wife. The royal family always wanted to give her son some good luck.
It is said that the princess of Zhou Kingdom had long been in love with Prince Yu, but by mistake Prince Yu married Taifu Wen's daughter. Finally, after several twists and turns, she married into the Northern Dynasty and became Princess Yu.
Therefore, the step-concubine's child became the heir at birth. This was not a trivial matter among the royal family. If a little baby with no merits and no merits was established as the heir at such a young age, people would more or less criticize him behind his back.
It was not until later that Nangong Yuanyi's reputation as uneducated and unskilled was spread, and he was even less liked by the older generation. The leader they followed was a bloodthirsty war god who was unmatched by anyone in future generations.
The British Duke's expression was not very good: "The Crown Prince is here. I'm sorry that I missed you from afar. Please forgive me."
Nangong Yuanyi raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the old man had deep opinions on their Nangong clan.
Nangong Yuanyi has a slender figure. Although he is not wearing fancy clothes, his temperament is cold and arrogant at this time, but his attitude is humble and polite. He said slowly: "The British prince has a great reputation. Yuan Yi admires him very much."
The British Duke didn't like people complimenting him, so he snorted: "Your Majesty, there is no need to flatter me."
"The British Duke manages his one-third acre of land in an orderly manner, so that the villagers in Gumai Village have enough food and clothing every year and avoid famine. This is enough to show that the British Duke is benevolent and righteous. Even if he dies a hundred years later, he will never see him again. As the late emperor, I am worthy of the peace you once bought with your blood." Nangong Yuanyi's voice was cold and resounding.
The British Duke did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would speak so sharply. How could he be worthy of the late Emperor? Looking at the towns and villages around Kyoto, there were refugees every year. If wars were frequent in those days and the people were in danger, but now in the prosperous era, there are still mourning everywhere. How could he be worthy of the late emperor?
He knew that this was all because of corrupt officials.
He is old and has no soldiers or power in his hands. He can only control the people and things within his ability.
An Xiyue stood aside obediently and said to herself, "Does Nangong Yuanyi mean to scold the person who pretends to be asleep?"
Suddenly, Nangong Yuanyi knelt down on one knee respectfully towards the British Duke, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Hu's faction is in power. The Lin family has offices all over the capital, and the people are complaining, leaving them with no way to move forward and no way to retreat. Yuan Yi Please ask the British Duke to return to Beijing to bring order to the chaos and attack the Lin bandits."
The British public squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Nangong Yuanyi, secretly saying: "It's a bit interesting."
"The Nangong family's empire was acquired with the bodies of countless soldiers. Emperor Nan didn't clean up the thieves after he ascended the throne. Instead, he indulged them blindly. Who is to blame for the current situation?"
Nangong Yuanyi was suddenly stunned and speechless for a moment.
