Chapter 197: The Crown Prince's Throne
Seeing that Shen Mochen was growing up day by day, when he was about to reach his first birthday, Shen Tianao said to Gu Qingcheng again: "Allure, I want to make Mo Chen the crown prince." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Father, mother." Shen Mochen spit out these two words that were not very clear, and Shen Tianao felt very happy.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the child's immature little face, but she was worried, she didn't want to involve Shen Mochen too early, the palace was an unpredictable place, such an environment was not a thing to be thankful for Mo Chen, she immediately refused: "Your Majesty, Mo Chen's current age might as well take on the responsibility of the crown prince." ”
For Gu Qingcheng's refusal, Shen Tianao's face was gloomy, and he said seriously: "Allure, don't you trust me?" ”
Gu Qingcheng looked up at Shen Tianao and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubine doesn't trust Your Majesty, but the concubine doesn't want Mo Chen to get involved, the situation in the court is not stable now, once Mo Chen becomes the crown prince, how many people in the court will watch him closely, and then his situation will probably not be good." ”
"Allure." Shen Tianao's eyes condensed and said, "Mo Chen will become the crown prince sooner or later, it is better to let him ascend to this position as soon as possible, you don't have to mention this matter to me again, he will definitely become the crown prince." ”
Gu Qingcheng frowned, she knew that she couldn't persuade Shen Tianao, so she could only wait for the development of the matter, after all, the canonization of the crown prince was a big deal, even if Shen Tianao had a heart, it was still unknown whether he could pass the minister's level.
Soon, Shen Tianao mentioned this matter in the early dynasty, and he calmly said to the ministers: "I have decided to canonize him as the crown prince when he is one year old. ”
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar, except for a few ministers who seconded the proposal, the rest of the people objected: "Your Majesty, it is too early to appoint the crown prince at this time. ”
The king of Zhenbei was the most active person in the opposition, if Shen Tianao was too unfavorable to his plan to crown prince at this time, and if Concubine Chen's side could give birth to a prince, he had to prevent the canonization of the crown prince from happening.
"Your Majesty." King Zhenbei knelt on the main hall and said earnestly, "The matter of the prince is a major matter of the country, if Your Majesty decides this matter easily, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable, please think twice." ”
His words were threatening, Shen Tianao glanced at him coldly, although the King of Zhenbei was so opposed, Shen Tianao still said calmly on the surface: "King Zhenbei, this matter will be discussed later, I will think about it carefully." ”
Shen Tianao didn't expect the courtiers to be so opposed to the canonization of the crown prince, and he didn't expect the reaction of the king of Zhenbei to be so huge, after all, the king of Zhenbei had a close relationship with him, and if the king of Zhenbei also objected, it would be difficult to carry out this matter.
He returned to Qifeng Palace and mentioned this matter to Gu Tingcheng, and said with a slight apology: "Allure, the prince's matter may not succeed for a while. ”
Gu Qingcheng had long expected this outcome, but she still comforted Shen Tianao and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is a long-term consideration, and there is no hurry. ”
"Allure, I will definitely make Mo Chen the crown prince." Shen Tianao said to her affirmatively.
Gu Qingcheng didn't know why Shen Tianao was so persistent in this matter, but he couldn't resist Shen Tianao, so he had to let him continue to act, Shen Tianao looked at Shen Mochen who was sleeping, walked over and gently stroked his face.
This is his child, it is his bloodline, he just wants to give the best things to Shen Mochen, after being rejected by the ministers, Shen Tianao did not mention this matter for several days, until it was time for Shen Mochen to arrest Zhou.
On this day, many ministers came to the Imperial Garden, and they all watched Shen Mochen's movements closely, only to see a row of dazzling things in front of Shen Mochen.
Shen Mochen's gaze swept over rouge, hairpin rings, jewelry, books and other things, and looked straight ahead, it was a jade seal, originally the palace maid did not prepare this thing, but Shen Tianao deliberately took out the jade seal and put it on it, Xu is the jade seal glowing with a warm light is particularly attention-grabbing, he is very interested in that, and his small hand touched the jade seal.
Gu Tingcheng watched from the side very worried, sure enough, it was Shen Tianao's child, he was interested in the jade seal at such a young age, and he was afraid that he would be as bloodthirsty and ruthless as his father when he was older in the future, thinking of this, Gu Tingcheng couldn't help but tremble, she looked at the smile on the faces of the father and son, but there was no way to stop it.
Shen Mochen wanted to pick up the jade seal, but his strength was too small to take it, Shen Tianao saw this and helped him pick it up, at this time he hugged Shen Mochen and turned around, and said to the ministers with a serious face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the eldest prince has now chosen the jade seal, is he not the prince and let the rest of the people be the prince?" ”
In the face of the emperor's questioning, all the ministers did not dare to say anything, and looked at Shen Mochen with bated breath, King Zhenbei wanted to say a few words, but looking at the silence of the ministers, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this may be the will of God, the eldest prince was born to be the prince." ”
King Zhenbei is a smart man, since everyone is not standing by his side, why should he be an enemy of Shen Tianao all the time, it is better to stand on Shen Tianao's side first, brush His Majesty's mind, and then consider the rest of the things later.
Shen Tianao saw that no one objected to the minister, he smiled and said: "Since you Aiqing do not object to this time, I think it is better to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince today." ”
"Your Majesty is wise." The voices of the ministers rang out, and no one objected.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but worry about Shen Mochen in his heart, but he was afraid that this child would not have a stable life in the future, and Shen Tianao would push him to the forefront.
"From now on, the eldest prince will be the crown prince." Shen Tianao announced to everyone, "When the prince is a few years older, the ceremonial official will arrange a crown prince canonization ceremony for the prince." ”
Although it is only a verbal statement, there is no joke, after all, Shen Mochen is too young now, and it will not be too late to perform the prince's gift in a few years.
After deciding on the matter of the prince, Shen Tianao also breathed a sigh of relief, and his face eased a lot, but Gu Qingcheng felt depressed in her heart, and she often had nightmares at night because of this.
Shen Tianao comforted her for this and said: "Allure, you don't have to worry so much, you can't stay out of the royal family, it's better to take the initiative at the beginning, I will definitely not harm Mo Chen by doing this, and when he is a little older, I will teach him something to let him learn to face it." ”
His words made Gu Qingcheng not feel at ease, but even more worried, what Shen Tianao said was only to teach him to kill people and teach him how to become cold-blooded, if he hadn't been found by Shen Tianao's people at the beginning, now she and Mo Chen would live a different life in the Leng family, instead of being in danger like now.
Gu Tingcheng secretly had a bad premonition in his heart, those people would never give up! (To be continued.) )
