The emperor was a little surprised by Zhou Yuchen's request, because he could see that Zhou Yuchen was not shirking, but really unwilling to be the crown prince.

The emperor felt that he still needed to persuade this son again, after all, he himself had not really decided, not to mention that he still favored Zhou Yuchen a little more in his heart.

"Sixth brother, are you worried that the seventh brother has made a great contribution, you can't compare to him, in fact, this matter is ......?"

Zhou Yuchen persuaded the emperor in turn:

"Daddy, Li Xian, the former king of Ning in the Tang Dynasty, made great contributions to the killing of Wei by his younger brother Xuanzong, but as the eldest son, he took the initiative to let Xuanzong be virtuous, and later achieved a prosperous era of Xuanzong. I asked myself that although the seventh brother is one year old, but he is not long, nor is he a grandson, his name is not right, and he really doesn't dare to compare himself with Li Xian, this prince's position was not my turn to let me, I just want to say to my father, the seventh brother is a really talented person, I am ashamed of myself, I really dare not occupy the big position, I hope that my father can be fulfilled. ”

He actually used the allusions of Li Chengqi and Li Longji to persuade himself, the emperor sighed in his heart, but at the same time he was a little relieved, this child himself finally did not look away, he was broad-minded and very powerful.

Zhou Yuchen said again: "What's more, my father has also seen it, Seventh Brother has made such a meritorious contribution but is still not famous, whether he is a person who loves to be in the limelight and does not leave room for others, Daddy should know better than me, to put it mildly, my mother's Zhang clan, and countless villains who have clinged to her over the years, but Seventh Brother can tolerate them, but if I am the prince, even if I take into account the brotherhood with him, he has such merit and fame, will those people agree to let go of Seventh Brother Qi in the future?"

"I know that my father has had a hard time over the years, although he is the emperor, he can't do everything he wants, I ask myself if I am not as wise as my father, if one day I am constrained everywhere and make a big mistake to my siblings, Daddy, what face should I use to see the ancestors of the Zhou family?"

The emperor was shocked by the question.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuchen even thought of these things.

He made a move, but he was also afraid that he would really ascend the throne in the future, and the power attached to him would swell, and he would not control it, but persecuted Zhou Yubai.

Compared with the intertwined party-wing relationships established by Concubine Zhang Shu, Zhou Yubai is indeed much cleaner.

The emperor actually had an idea in his heart, but he still felt a little sorry for his son who was kneeling below.

Zhou Yuchen smiled lightly: "The child also wants to take care of a good reputation, it is better to learn from that Li Xian, not only can you easily want to do what you like, but also leave a good name in future generations." Won't Daddy fulfill me?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Sixth brother, is this really what you want?"

Zhou Yuchen affirmed: "Actually, I don't hide it from my father, I have indeed found some interesting things these days, about the manufacture of firearms, which is also a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and I hope to have more time to study in the future." ”

Zhou Yuchen also has his own considerations, he knows that there are many talented people who are not born in the world today, just like Fu Nianjun said, the Taoist who gave her gunpowder is one, he has always wanted to find opportunities to find these masters, which can be regarded as one of his wishes, but his identity is special, it is difficult to do whatever he wants, and now he sells such a big favor to Zhou Yubai, also for the sake of the future, he will not obstruct himself in this matter.

The emperor sighed, took Zhou Yuchen's hand and muttered a lot of words, and even burst into tears when he talked about emotion, and only after a long time was he willing to let him leave.

When Zhou Yuchen left the palace, he only felt relaxed, and the bustle of Tokyo at night had just begun, and the lights of thousands of homes were peaceful and prosperous.

It's just that the burden of this peaceful and prosperous world is too heavy, he smiled, he can't afford it, and he doesn't want to bear it, he knows that Zhou Yubai is the most suitable person.

Back in the house, his wife, who was not smart but was willing to change, was waiting for him.

Life is just like this.

Zhou Yuchen only felt that there was no more turmoil in his heart.

……

The emperor soon summoned several important ministers a few days later to determine the matter of establishing a prince.

The big event that has dragged on for many years has come to an end so quickly.

The next day, the edict of the crown prince was officially announced to the world, and the seventh prince of Huai, King Huai, was appointed as the prince and awarded the post of young protector and envoy.

After the edict was issued, the ministers of the court celebrated, and the people were even more jubilant.

Fu Nianjun was also quite worried about this, some of the houses in the water house were burned down before, and now they have not had time to repair them completely, it is really not a good place for banquets, but fortunately, Zhou Yubai also found an excuse to shirk, only saying that his wife's health has not recovered, and the child is young and frail, so he blocked a bunch of people who came to congratulate him a little.

Of course, the emperor also compensated his son Zhou Yuchen for his mistreatment, and added him the title of Kaifu Yi and the Three Divisions, although it was a false title, but it showed that he attached great importance to it.

The staff in the palace of King Qi, the students in the school hall have many grievances for him, Zhou Yuchen simply said that he was ill and ignored it, he is not Su Wang and others, no matter how capable and powerful people there are, they can't really instigate a rebellion, it's just to add some tongues.

The two equally powerful princes have been arguing over the throne for many years, and these tongues are inevitable, the emperor chooses to turn a blind eye, Zhou Yubai ignores it, and no matter how many people under the command of King Qi want to make trouble, they can't set off the storm.

As the crown prince, he must move to the East Palace, but this is not a small project, not to mention that there have been a lot of things recently, the emperor and the Ministry of Rites are tentatively scheduled to hold a ceremony at the end of summer, and Cheng'er will be 100 days old by then, just enough to do it.

The Fu family is the most high-profile except for the Huai Wangfu, and everyone knows that Fu Xiang is about to be the future ruler, and his status has long been beyond the reach of others.

After entering the Privy Council, Wang Yongcheng, the governor of the council, had the power to faintly cover Fu Kun before, but now he can only retreat, but Wang Yongcheng has a strange personality, and he obviously did his best in the battle between Zhou Yu and Bai Lichu, but he still said coldly to Fu Kun:

"If you are too proud, you will definitely capsize in the gutter, Fu Gong should be careful in the future. ”

Fu Kun has been fighting with him for many years, and he has always been a friend and foe, and he only said: "Thank you for the advice of the Prime Minister Wang, I only wish to be able to serve Your Majesty for two more years, and in the future, I will also learn from Shu Gong to retire to the rivers and lakes." ”

After Zhou Yubai became the emperor, he could only be the national abbot, and learning Shu Wenqian's return to the grass was the best ending.

Wang Yongcheng laughed: "I must be a long-lived person, I look forward to Fu Gong returning to the mountains and forests as soon as possible." ”

He doesn't have Fu Kun's care at all, can he not be happy?

He was glad he didn't have a daughter.
