Chapter Seventy-Six: Sealing the King

Zhao Chunbao didn't have time to play with those children anymore, so he followed Zhao Yuankai every day and was his follower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When the minister of the court saw Zhao Yuankai treating his nephew like this, he persuaded him to ask for an official and a half-position in the emperor, but Zhao Yuankai vetoed it.

Zhao Yuan laughed and said that he was still young, and he had to be a big one.

Zhao Chunbao is like this, buried in many entourages, laughing with them, getting along politely, and no longer showing off the martial arts and literary talent he has learned. All the officials look at his virtue and feel sorry for him, if Zhao Yuanling is alive, he will be a prince, and he will be abolished like this?

Yang Tong learned of Zhao Chunbao's situation and immediately played the emperor in the early court.

"Your Majesty, the first emperor has a son, named Chunbao, and now he is at home, Lord Zhao gave him a position as a follower, the emperor, the minister thinks that Lord Zhao is not appropriate to arrange it like this, so what does the world think of our northern royal family? The son of the first emperor, Chunbao, the emperor should also be crowned a throne. ā€

"Yes, the emperor, the ministers also enlightened the emperor and gave Zhao Chunbao a position to set the record straight." Zhou Fahai, the secretary of the ministry, also stepped forward to play.

Li Ju sat in the hall and did not speak, he looked at the ministers, and the rest of the people were all in a contemplative state, not speaking easily. They wondered in their hearts, why did Prime Minister Yang mention Zhao Chunbao at this time?

You must know that the emperor has been very troubled by the matter of the crown prince, he has a total of four princes, it is said that the third prince Li Chengqing born to the queen should be the best candidate, Li Chengqing is now ten years old, smart and studious, and will definitely be able to take on the throne in the future.

It's just that there is a stalk in Li Ju's throat, that is Zhao Yuanling's son Zhao Chunbao, thinking that back then, it was he who made the decree to crown the senior brother who had not been on the throne for a day as the first emperor, that was because he wanted to win the hearts of the two junior brothers, and he didn't think too much. Now that I think about it, how stupid I was back then, I set myself up.

At that time, this child was only eight or nine years old, and if he was eighteen years old, he was afraid that he would have been pushed to the throne of the emperor by his two junior brothers, because he had repeatedly made false concessions to his two junior brothers at that time. Now that he is eighteen years old, there is no way to get the best of both worlds.

It stands to reason that Li Ju left the position of the crown prince to Zhao Chunbao, which is indisputable. But Li Ju was unwilling, and handed over the throne that was hard to get his hands on, and no one could do it on anyone's head.

Therefore, for the ministers who have been discussing the establishment of the prince in the past, Li Ju is looking for various reasons to oppose it, coupled with the ministers who have figured out the emperor's thoughts, saying that the emperor is in good health, and it is still too early to establish the prince. So the matter was delayed.

And what Li Ju is most worried about is that this Zhao Chunbao, whose whereabouts have never been known, is back now, how he should settle him has always been a problem for him, but he didn't expect Yang Tong to bring it up at this time, he didn't understand.

Because Li Chengqing is also Yang Tong's nephew, he should think about his nephew, why did he suddenly propose Zhao Chunbaolai, I don't know what his intentions are.

"Prime Minister Aiqing, in your opinion, what kind of king should I crown him!" Li Ju sat on the dragon chair and leaned forward. He threw the question to Yang Tong.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhao Chunbao is young and has a good kung fu, why don't you crown him the king of Zhenxi, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" Yang Tong arched his hand.

"Hmm, what do you think the prime minister mentioned?" Li Ju leaned back in his chair, he understood in his heart at this time, Yang Tong was going to send the task of guarding Xiguan to this young man who did not know the world, if he could keep the western frontier and prevent foreign people from attacking, it would be the best, if he was young and vigorous and died at the hands of the enemy, then he sacrificed his life for the country, and no one accused him. That's a good idea.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the prime minister said is very true. Zhao Chunbao, the son of the first emperor, is a matter of course and understandable to serve as the king of Zhenxi. Li Dian, the head of the household, stepped forward and agreed.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

The ministers rushed to the front of the prelude.

At this time, there were also different voices, and the first to oppose was Zhao Yuankai, who stepped forward to enlighten him.

"The emperor, the minister thinks it is impossible, the minister's nephew Zhao Chunbao, the king without merit, is unconvinced, and he is still young, not familiar with the world, the minister thinks that let him stay by the minister's side, the minister will guide him for a few years, when he is getting older, the mind is mature, and then the emperor will not be too late, and the minister will ask the emperor for permission."

"Lord Zhao, only young people can make a difference, as for Zhao Chunbao is young and immature, what does it matter? The emperor will naturally choose someone who is old and respectful to assist Zhao Chunbao, the king of Zhenxi. He stepped forward and smiled at Zhao Yuan, "How did you hear that Lord Zhao put the son of the former emperor by his side as a follower, serving tea and pouring water every day, holding and pouring urine, can't you even afford to hire a subordinate in Lord Zhao's mansion?" If that's the case, the contemptible people will pay and buy two girls for Lord Zhao. ā€

After hearing this, everyone laughed, and Li Ju also laughed, he said.

"Batu, Batu, if you don't shake Lord Zhao one day, you feel uncomfortable, aren't you?" After Li Ju finished speaking, he put away his smile and said to Zhao Yuan: "Lord Zhao, although Batu is joking, how can I hear that you let Zhao Chunbao be your follower, is there really such a thing?" ā€

"Your Majesty, this is indeed true!" Zhao Yuan opened the way.

"I said Lord Zhao, I don't blame Batu for teasing you, how can you let your eldest nephew Chunbao do the next thing? Yours is the case! Li Ju pointed at Zhao Yuankai and wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't know what to say about him, so he had to point his finger at him and laugh.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Zhao is worried about is unreasonable, this Zhao Chunbao is only eighteen years old now, it is okay to give him a throne, but don't entrust him with important tasks, there are many people guarding Xiguan, and now there is no shortage of generals in the imperial court, even if Zhao Chunbao is really as brave as the emperor, sent to Xiguan, the minister thinks it is impossible, because he lacks battlefield experience, if there is any mistake, how to explain to the queen mother? Besides, the Queen Mother will not agree, their mother and son have only met, how can they be willing to separate the mother and son as soon as they meet? Is this also human nature? "The capital garrison Yang Yong said.

When Yang Yong said this, he had his own plans. If Zhao Chunbao is allowed to go to the Western Xinjiang now, he has seen this kid's kung fu, but he believes that in a few years, he will be able to become famous, and at that time his reputation will be so famous that anything can happen. You know, Zhennan Wang Yilong is his own uncle, these two forces are bound to have a non-negligible influence in the imperial court, and when it comes to the time of the mutiny, I am afraid that the emperor Li Ju will even regret his intestines, even if Zhao Chunbao does not peep into the throne, but the two of them will affect the political situation of the entire northern country in the future, which is the result that their Yang family does not want to see.

Li Ju sat there and watched the ministers arguing. He was silent, pondering the meaning of Yang Yong's words just now.

However, this kind of argument is endless, Li Ju knows that if he doesn't speak, he is afraid that there will be no result until tomorrow, so he said loudly.

"What everyone Aiqing said makes sense! Why don't you wait for me to discuss with the Queen Mother and then make a decision, what do you think? ā€

"What the emperor said is extremely true!" When Yang Tong saw the emperor say this, he knew it in his heart. You must know that Wang Yilong, the king of Zhennan, has not been involved in this matter, how can he not know about such a big matter, what a serious matter this is!

The emperor is right to do this.

When the ministers saw the emperor say this, they filtered it in their minds again to understand what the emperor meant, and they all stepped forward one by one to express their agreement with the emperor's point of view.

Soon, Li Ju got a reply, Wang Xinhui is as long as Zhao Chunbao is in the capital, there is no requirement for any other throne, Wang Xinhui does this, it is nothing more than following the ancient precept that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. She knew that Emperor Li Ju would communicate with Wang Yilong.

Wang Yilong's opinion is that everything is arranged by the emperor, and as a relative, it is inconvenient for him to speak.

Wang Yilong didn't speak, it was more powerful than speaking, and Li Ju knew it in his heart. Wang Yilong, this is retreating as advancing.

Li Ju guessed that what Wang Yilong hoped for was nothing more than to give Zhao Chunbao a throne, which was something Li Ju would have to do sooner or later, and then not to let the young Zhao Chunbao go to the dangerous western frontier.

Li Ju thought about it, if he was sent to Western Xinjiang, how would the position be arranged? Zhao Chunbao is eighteen years old, and he really can't hold the position of commander of Western Xinjiang, but he can't let a king of Zhenxi go to give someone a hand, this doesn't sound good, besides, who can command a prince? !

In the end, Li Ju decided to appoint Zhao Chunbao as the king of Zhenxi on the spot, and took out 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury to buy a new piece of land as the start-up capital for the mansion of the king of Zhenxi.

Li Ju's decision made the government and the opposition boiling, except for those who were jealous, and the voices that supported the emperor Li Ju were almost one-sided. felt that Li Ju's decision was worthy of the dead emperor Zhao Yuanling.

Li Ju thought, let Zhao Chunbao stay in the capital for a while, or in two years, a minister will recommend Zhao Chunbao to guard the western frontier.

During this time, Li Ju's entrapment of Zhao Chunbao began with his marriage.
