When Shen Zecang learned that he was going to Huguo Temple to pray for the emperor, he secretly arranged for his subordinates to sneak in the emperor's bedroom, and then went to Huguo Temple with Shen Zeyuan, but what he didn't know was that among the people he installed were also people under Shen Zeyuan's hands.

Song Ling learned that the two had gotten up and left the capital to go to Huguo Temple, and Song Ling entered the palace emperor's bed smoothly according to the plan with Shen Zeyuan.

"Your Majesty, how are you doing lately?" Song Ling entered the emperor's bedroom and looked at the emperor.

The emperor didn't seem surprised when he saw Song Ling's arrival, but smiled at Song Ling and said, "It's not bad, as long as the person you don't want to see is not there, I'm in good health." ”

Song Ling looked at the emperor and nodded, smiled, a smile flashed in his eyes, he knew the meaning of the emperor's words.

"You came this time, but for the sake of the edict?" The emperor looked at Song Ling and did not beat around the bush, and directly picked out Song Ling's intention.

Song Ling looked at the emperor and frowned, a smile flashed in his eyes, "The emperor is so smart, he guessed the minister's intention so quickly." ”

"Because I also know that my time is running out, looking at your appearance, you are more optimistic about the Seventh Prince, right?" The emperor looked at Song Ling and smiled, "Do you value him because your daughter is going to marry him, or because of his talent?"

"Naturally, it is talent, compared with the third prince, the Seventh Prince has a lot of advantages, and the Seventh Prince is indeed suitable for sitting on the throne," Song Ling smiled, and when he mentioned Shen Zeyuan, his eyes were full of appreciation.

The emperor looked at the appreciation in Song Ling's eyes, smiled, walked to the desk and said, "Song Ling, how long have you been with me?"

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, the ministers have been following the emperor," Song Ling looked at the emperor and didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked this, but he still replied.

The emperor looked at Song Ling and nodded, as if he was recalling something, and was silent for a long time.

Song Ling looked at the emperor and didn't bother, just stayed by the emperor's side.

"Song Ling, I'm old, it's time to give way," the emperor smiled weakly, "That's it, I'm tired of sitting on this throne for a long time." ”

Song Ling looked at the emperor with a trace of distress flashing in his eyes, becoming a king that everyone respects, and he has a lot of helpless times, in fact, being a king is not necessarily happy.

"The emperor laughed," Song Ling lowered his head and began to take the initiative to grind for the emperor, "You are a Ming monarch, and the people trust you very much." ”

The emperor looked at Song Ling and smiled: "I hope that Shen Zeyuan will also be a Ming monarch in the future." ”

Song Ling looked at the emperor, the emperor smiled, found the jade seal, and began to write the edict.

Song Ling watched from the sidelines, and when he saw that the emperor had made a will to make Shen Zeyuan the crown prince, a smile flashed in his eyes.

The emperor has been writing for a long time, stopping to write, occasionally in a daze, and a testament has been written for a long time.

"Okay, the last thing I should do is done, this edict, and the talisman I will hand over to you," the emperor handed the edict and the talisman to Song Lingdao.

"Your Majesty, is this?" Song Ling looked at the emperor, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"I'm afraid that when Shen Zecang learns the news, he will forcibly search for this edict and put it with you, I don't worry, if I'm not there one day, you can take this out, so it's foolproof, but this matter can only be known to you and Shen Zeyuan, remember not to let others know," The emperor looked at Song Ling's eyes full of trust, after all, this country was also fought by Song Ling with him.

Song Ling took the things in the emperor's hand, nodded and said, "Yes, the minister must live up to expectations." ”

"You go down first, I'm tired and have to rest," the emperor frowned, Song Ling nodded and turned around and left the palace and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After praying for the emperor outside the capital for many days, Shen Zecang was finally able to return to Beijing, and after returning to the palace, Shen Zecang began to inquire whether there were any major events and changes in his absence.

"How is it? What changes have happened in the palace during my absence?" Shen Zecang frowned as he looked at his subordinates, his eyes full of worry.

"Don't worry, the third prince, nothing happened during your absence, the emperor stayed in his palace since he was in poor health, and the seventh prince ran to the prime minister's mansion every day, and nothing happened in the palace. ”

When Shen Zecang heard his subordinates say this, a smile flashed in his eyes, "That's good, that's good, no turmoil is the best result." ”

After Song Ling brought back the things that the emperor handed over to him, he found someone to call Shen Zeyuan.

"What's the matter, what's the matter with me?" Shen Zeyuan said as he looked at Song Ling and frowned.

Song Ling looked at Shen Zeyuan and smiled, turned around and closed his door, and said, "Naturally, it's a good thing." ”

"What makes you so happy?" Shen Zeyuan frowned as he looked at Song Ling with a smile on his face.

"It's not to make me happy, I think you know, you'll be happier," Song Ling smiled and began to sell Guanzi.

Shen Zeyuan looked at Song Ling, his eyes were full of curiosity, waiting for Song Ling to say the happy event that would make him very happy.

"The emperor has made an edict, and you will soon be the crown prince," Song Ling looked at Shen Zeyuan and patted Shen Zeyuan on the shoulder.

Shen Zeyuan looked at Song Ling and frowned, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"This can still be fake, I personally watched what the emperor wrote, and I personally sharpened the ink," Song Ling frowned, looked at Shen Zeyuan, and seemed to feel that Shen Zeyuan did not trust him, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"So the prime minister called me here today, is that what told me about this?" Shen Zeyuan looked at Song Ling and knew that he was all for his own good.

Song Ling nodded and looked at Shen Zeyuan and smiled: "Do you know, the emperor is very satisfied with you, he praised you a lot in front of me, and compared you with the third prince." ”

"Compare me with Shen Zecang?" Shen Zeyuan looked at Song Ling and frowned, as if he didn't want to compare himself with Shen Zecang.

"Yes, the emperor said that the three princes are ambitious, but you are more indisputable, but you have more brains than the third prince, and you appreciate you very much," Song Ling smiled and repeated everything the emperor said to him that day to Shen Zeyuan.

"It seems that my father has already made a decision?" Shen Zeyuan still couldn't believe that the emperor gave him the position of the crown prince like this.

"That's natural, if you don't make a decision, how can you even write the edict and order me to put it away carefully?" Song Ling smiled.

"Who is it?" Shen Zeyuan frowned and looked out the window, only to see Song Wanyan with a panicked face, Song Ling knew that she had heard their conversation, and her eyes were cold and ordered Song Wanyan to be locked up.
