The great victory at the border pass is a happy event for the whole country. coincided with the tenth birthday of the eldest son and eldest daughter, and Gu Wanning moved the idea of organizing a palace banquet. In this regard, Xiao Xu also agrees very much.

The rules in the palace have always been like this, and when the prince and princess reach the age of ten, they have to live alone in a dormitory. In the past two months, Gu Wanning has picked out the dormitory for the two of them, and it has been arranged and cleaned up.

When children grow up, they flutter like eagles.

Gu Wanning pressed the reluctance in his heart and responded with a smile.

Ah Yi was quite careful and considerate, and immediately said: "I have already discussed it with Gillian. Every day, the two of us still eat in the Jiaofang Palace, and accompany the queen mother one more time. ”

"Yes, no matter when the queen mother wants to see us, as long as she orders someone to pass a word, we will go to the Jiaofang Hall immediately. Gillian quickly took over the conversation, and her small mouth was as sweet as honey.

Gu Wanning's heart swelled with warmth, but he deliberately said in his mouth: "I meet every day, what is there to think." I wish you two would move out as soon as possible, and the province will be dangling in front of me every day. Without the two of you in front of me, I just have more energy to accompany Ah Chun and Xiaosi more. ”

Gillian: "......"

Ah Yi: "......"

Ah Chun also interjected with a smile: "As soon as my sister and brother leave, the queen mother will be able to accompany me more, great!"

Gillian and Yi glared together, and they were about to beat people up when they rolled up their sleeves. Ah Chun stuck out his tongue mischievously and ran with his calves running. Gillian disdained to make a move, and said to Ah Yi: "You go and arrest Ah Chun back." ”

Ah Yi subconsciously responded, and quickly reacted: "Why am I going again? Why don't you go yourself?"

Gillian said confidently: "I'm the biggest, of course you have to listen to me." ”

The frolicking of children echoed in the Funing Temple.

Gu Wanning's heart was relaxed, and the corners of his lips smiled.

Xiao Xu's eyes were even more gentle, staring at his children silently. Suddenly, he said softly: "A Ning, I want to make an order to make Ah Yi the prince." ”

……

Gu Wanning was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked over.

Xiao Xu had obviously thought about this matter for a long time, and he didn't say it in a word: "Lichu is indeed a little early. However, Ah Yi is also ten years old. He is our eldest son, and the position of prince will be his. An early decree to establish a prince can also reassure the hearts of the ministers. ”

The kingdom cannot be without a prince for a day.

Xiao Xu ascended the throne at the age of twenty-two, and was the youngest son of heaven since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty. Young and strong, his son is still young, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't stand up or not.

It's been six years since Jingyou, and Xiao Xu has been ill for more than a year. Although the symptoms have improved, it is not possible to say whether they will be cured. At this time, the establishment of the prince is not only the heart of the ministers, but also a precautionary measure!

Gu Wanning's heart was astringent, but he didn't hesitate, and quickly responded: "It's okay." ”

She always knew him best.

Xiao Xu's heart was sour and sweet, and he calmed down and said: "Establishing a reserve is a major event of the country. Even though I am the Son of Heaven, I should not be arbitrary. Tomorrow I will summon my ministers to discuss the matter. ”

Deliberation and decision, making an order to establish a reserve, and then holding a ceremony for establishing a reserve, is by no means an overnight thing. It can add up to at least a few months.

Gu Guanning nodded: "If you can catch up, you can finish these before the year." On the first day of the New Year, Ah Yi will be able to worship the heavens and ancestors with you. ”

If Xiao Xu's illness is not well, Ah Yi, as the prince, can preside over the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and ancestors on behalf of Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu obviously had this intention, the husband and wife glanced at each other, and tacitly did not say this.

The matter was settled.

……

The next day, Xiao Xu summoned important ministers to the Funing Palace to discuss the matter of establishing a prince.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Luo Hengzhi is naturally the most qualified to speak. He stepped forward and said, "Although His Royal Highness the Great Prince is young, he is intelligent and reasonable, calm in temperament, and eager to learn. If he is the prince, it should be the blessing of my Great Qin, and it is also the blessing of the officials and the people. ”

Luo Shangshu's eldest grandson, Luo Qian, is the eldest prince's companion. If the eldest prince becomes the prince, the companions around him, only with the affection of his youth, will not worry about having a good future in the future.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and Luo Shangshu is not exempt from vulgarity.

The second person to speak in favor was Gu Hai, the secretary of the ministry.

Gu Hai first praised the eldest prince with gorgeous rhetoric, and then said with a straight face: "...... Weichen had already planned to wait for the palace banquet of His Royal Highness the eldest prince when he was ten years old, and then he would play a fold and ask the prince to be established. Unexpectedly, the emperor also thought of a place with Weichen. It can also be seen that this matter is the heart of the monarch and the minister. ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers who were still a little hesitant did not dare to hesitate.

Speaking out against it at this time, isn't it clear that you don't have the same heart as the Son of Heaven?

The eldest prince is a little smaller, but he has both a long and a long heir. Sooner or later, the position of prince will be his. The emperor wants to establish a prince as soon as possible, but as a courtier, he really can't find a reason to oppose it.

The Son of Heaven has three sons, all of whom were born by Queen Gu. To put it mildly, even if the eldest prince has three longs and two shorts and failed to grow up safely, there are still two princes and three princes.

In short, the heirs of the Son of Heaven are quite prosperous, and it is not the turn of "others" to covet the dragon chair.

The ministers echoed their words one by one, and glanced at "others" intentionally or unintentionally.

……

The so-called "others" are naturally none other than the prince of Wei and the prince of Han.

The two of them did hold a sulk in their hearts.

As a descendant of the Xiao family, if you say that you don't have the slightest idea about that dragon chair, it is purely a lie. I can't even fool myself.

However, in the past few years, Xiao Xu, the son of heaven, has done a remarkable job and won the support of the ministers. Even in the past year or so during the illness, the court is still orderly and has not seen panic.

The two of them occasionally had some thoughts, but those careful thoughts were like pebbles falling into the water, making some splashes, and quickly sinking to the bottom.

What's more, their wives and children are all hostages in the palace, and there are not many emperors and queens inside and outside the Wei Palace, Han Wangfu. If they make a slight move, what awaits them is the destruction of their families and the separation of their wives.

I thought about it in private, how many times I tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and in the end, I finally fell silent.

Now that the border pass has won a big victory, the Gu family is in great power, Gu Wanning sits firmly in the middle palace, and steadily keeps their wives and children in the palace...... Now Xiao Xu wants to make Ah Yi the prince again. Even if Xiao Xu's illness has not been good, or he suddenly returns to heaven, Ah Yi will also replace Xiao Xu on the dragon chair.

Suddenly I felt that the last hope was gone.

How can you not be depressed?

However, the breath can only be swallowed silently.

The prince of Wei quickly cheered up and said with a smile: "The emperor can establish a prince as soon as possible, and he can also calm people's hearts." The younger brother also thought that this matter was very good. ”

The prince of Han Wang, who was always one step late every time, said briefly: "The younger brother also seconded the proposal. ”

Xiao Xu's dark eyes swept over the two of them, and he smiled slightly: "Since all Aiqing agrees, this matter will be decided." Tomorrow is Ah Yi's tenth birthday, and a palace banquet is set up in the palace, and all Aiqing also come to the banquet. I will make a decree tomorrow. ”

The ministers surrendered their hands to the command.
