The office hours that the cabinet can't move are Shen Jinchen and out, and before Shen Shi, Lord Chen came early, and he couldn't sleep at home. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A small official had already cleaned the class room, and Lord Chen sat inside looking at the roll shed in front of the window in a daze, thinking in his heart whether it was better to stand on the side of the eldest prince or the side of the fourth prince.

If you stand on the side of the eldest prince, you will definitely offend the Duke of Dingguo, this old thing relies on being a playmate with the emperor when he was a child, and he doesn't take anyone seriously.

And this old thing doesn't know the severity and has no vision, and he often takes revenge on those who offend him.

But he is the first assistant anyway, are you afraid of him as a national prince?

And as long as the eldest prince ascends the throne, he, the Duke of Dingguo, will no longer be majestic, so thinking about it like this, the Duke of Dingguo is not enough to fear.

I'm afraid that I'm supporting the eldest prince, and the emperor has changed his attention again.

Lord Chen thought about it for a long time, and before he knew it, an hour had passed.

At this time, all the officials of the DPRK and China had already started their busy day.

Lord Chen was still hesitating and wandering, and Han Yi knocked on the door and walked in.

Seeing that he was holding something in his hand, Master Chen asked him to close the door: "What's the matter?"

Han Yi pulled out an excerpt from his cuffs: "At this time, Han Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and others jointly performed a fold, asking the emperor to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince." ”

"Oh?" Lord Chen was a little surprised, the matter of canonizing the crown prince had been arguing for two months, but no one had written the excerpt of the book to clearly ask for the establishment of the prince.

He said, "Show me who they are." ”

The excerpt of the court officials should have two versions, the positive version is handed over to the General Administration Division, and the deputy version is placed in the Six Branch Corridor for archiving, and then the original copy of the General Administration Department is taken to the Department of Rites and Supervisors, and the eunuchs of the Department of Rites and Supervisors are submitted to the emperor to see, and the emperor will send it to the cabinet for comments after reading it, and the cabinet ministers need to transcribe the content of the excerpt on one side, and then give a countermeasure, which is called the vote, and then take the excerpt to the emperor to make the final decision, and the emperor will make a decision by the eunuch of the Department of Rites and Supervisors to seal the pen.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, no one can wait for the excerpt to be read by the Department of Rites and Supervisors and then wait for the emperor to see it before it is his turn, so when the Sixth Branch Corridor gets a copy, he will always try to take it and see it first, and have a preparation in his heart, this method is to install his own protégé in the Six Science Corridor, because the officials of the Six Science Corridor are all civil officials, and almost all of them are from Jinshi, so people who are not educated cannot enter.

If you want to arrange for relatives to come in, you have to be a civil official for scientific research, so the relationship between the first assistant of the cabinet and the civil official is always that of a teacher and student, and they are all breathed out of the same nostrils.

Lord Chen opened the fold and saw that all the officials above the fourth rank of the Ministry of Etiquette were Liang Yuqiang and Zuo Shilang of the Household Department.

"If these people don't have a certain degree of certainty, how dare they leave their names for others as a handle?" Master Chen read the excerpt thoughtfully.

Han Yi said, "My lord, you have to make a decision. ”

Lord Chen's eyebrows tightened, and he still said, "Why do they dare to leave their names for people to handle?" The voice muttered, and Han Yi realized at this time that Lord Chen was thinking too seriously, and was actually talking to himself.

What Lord Chen didn't know, Lord Han had already met with Lan Junyuan the night before, and Lan Junyuan told Lord Han about the emperor's collection of false evidence from the four princes, that is, the emperor would not make the four princes the crown prince the crown prince at all, and the delay for so long was to help the eldest prince recognize people.

But Lord Chen doesn't know, but Lord Chen is not a simple person to be the first assistant, and his political sense is very sensitive.

He ordered Han Yidao, "Go and quietly bring the original copy of the General Administration, and I will add my name." ”

Han Yi was still very cautious: "My lord has decided?"

Lord Chen nodded: "You send someone to quietly find Gonggong Sun of the Department of Rites and Supervisors, and he can bring the folds out, but remember not to let people find out, and if you find out, you must be able to shirk cleanly, and don't let people say that we are in the same stream as the eunuchs." ”

The cabinet is in the imperial city, a stone's throw away from the Qianqing Palace, and the class room of the Rite Supervision Department is not far from the Qianqing Palace, so it is very convenient to go in and find someone, and there will always be people in and out of the two places, and it will not cause anyone's idea.

Han Yi felt that this task was not difficult, and happily agreed.

In the morning, when the emperor was free, he began to read the excerpts, and Da Liu Gonggong was the first to present the excerpts written by Lord Han and others.

The emperor smiled: "These people are heartfelt, and they know that the rules of order cannot be abolished." ”

Da Liu Gonggong had also seen the excerpt beforehand, and when he heard it, he knew what the emperor meant, he was biased towards the eldest prince, and he was happy in his heart.

When the emperor saw the final payment, his eyebrows furrowed, and then he unbelievably unfolded, and said, "When did Lord Chen figure it out?"

For this question, Da Liu's father-in-law was also very confused, so he couldn't give the emperor an answer.

The emperor laughed, "Count them as acquaintances." ”

Soon, the emperor wrote a batch of royal pens, and Lord Han and others requested that the prince be appointed as the crown prince was approved and allowed to be played.

Lord Chen was really stunned to receive this holy decree, he didn't expect the emperor to be so happy this time, it seemed to be unexpected, but it was obviously reasonable.

However, he was shocked and shocked, the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe was still there, if he hadn't decisively abandoned the four princes, he believed that in the near future, he would have rolled up and rolled back to his hometown.

Lord Chen's hanging heart relaxed, and he immediately reported the message on the canonization of the crown prince to the major yamen in the capital and the state capitals of the whole country.

Then the news will be announced to the world, and everyone will know about it.

When the fourth prince heard the news, he was discussing with Zhou Guangzu how to marry Zhou Qingyuan, because his father asked him to do it quickly and not delay.

Fortunately, he recruited Zhou Guangzu to the prince's mansion to discuss, if she lost her temper in the Zhou mansion, then she would be embarrassed and embarrassed.

The fourth prince listened to the whispering of the towering mosquito in his ear, and his first feeling was that it was impossible, and he smiled at the towering, "Are you kidding?"

Towering and drooping his head, can he joke about this kind of thing?

Zhou Guangzu said with a very bad face at this time: "If His Highness has something, then the lower official will retire, and as for the marriage, everything will be decided by His Highness." ”

The fourth prince looked at the uncle of the eldest prince speechlessly, he thought to himself that this person still doesn't know that he is already the uncle, right?

The fourth prince himself can't say what mood he is in, now this person can still call him His Royal Highness respectfully, is it tomorrow that people will change and become unstoppable, but he will pick up his tail in a gray way?

The four princes had mixed tastes in their hearts, and they didn't talk to Zhou Guangzu politely, so they let the guests be sent off.

He had to be quiet to send people away, and if he didn't be quiet, he couldn't digest the news at all, and his father liked him so much, how could he give the throne to that cripple? )
