"This ......" Qi You's words fell, and the ministers all looked at Prime Minister Le, he took a deep breath and then said almost respectfully: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister congratulates the emperor on finding a candidate for the prince!" ”

"Hehe, rejoicing, rejoicing, even if my private matter is a major event of the imperial court, I should rejoice and congratulate all Aiqing!" Qi You said with a smile through Prime Minister Le's words.

Qi Zhe immediately complimented with a very eye-catching expression: "The emperor is right, the establishment of this prince is indeed a great joy, and the younger brother is here to congratulate the imperial brother." ”

"Hehe, where, where, it's just a matter of thought." Although Qi You said politely, the happy expression on his face could be seen by anyone, and he was very satisfied with today's court decision. 、

The ministers were not confused, since the surface of the duck was driven to the shelf, and the emperor also got the result he wanted, everyone naturally would not sweep the emperor's interest, so they all congratulated Qi Zhe together.

The second prince Qi Huan really listened to this congratulation, and felt very harsh, his brows were frowned, his eyes were cold, his nostrils were dilated, the corners of his mouth were deep, his fists were clenched, and he was about to be unable to bear it anymore when he looked at it.

After congratulating Jubilant for a while, Qi You smiled and said, "Okay, this is a great luck, Huanyue came to the front." ”

The only one here who is still confused is Qi Huanyue himself, who was called by Qi You, he paced a few steps forward inexplicably, and then knelt down and said, "Father." ”

"Huan Yue, since these ministers have elected you as the crown prince, it means that you are the prince of the Great Qi Dynasty from today on, are you willing to share the worries and problems of my father and me?" Qi You asked solemnly.

Qi Huanyue was very surprised and uneasy in his heart, but looking up at his father's eyes that were sure to hope, he really couldn't refuse, so he could only frown and clench his fists and take the order: "It is the duty of the sons and daughters to share the worries and solve problems for the father, and the courtiers today are strongly recommended, which is really the trust and love of the sons, and the sons are willing to accept the orders and will live up to expectations!" ”

"Good! Very good! Come. Take the decree and the pen and ink. Qi You shouted.

Xue Gonggong immediately took the holy decree and pen and ink that had been prepared long ago from the apse, Qi You directly took the pen and filled the ink, and under the service of the two palace people, he made a few strokes on the holy decree. Then he withdrew his hand and said, "Father-in-law Xue, announce the decree." ”

Xue Gonggong turned out to be a holy decree and Qi You looked at each other and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

Everyone was extremely surprised when they saw this, such adequate and rapid preparation, it was really hard to imagine what kind of careful arrangements the emperor had made before.

Gonggong Xue cleared his throat and said, "The fourth prince Qi Huanyue." and the ministers to receive the decree......"

The courtiers immediately knelt down to listen to the announcement, and the other three princes also knelt down to listen to the announcement no matter what they thought in their hearts.

In fact, there is no need for Gong Xue to announce the decree, everyone also knows that this matter is settlement, and the fourth prince Qi Huanyue will naturally become the prince of Great Qi, because that is the truest thought in the heart of Emperor Qi You.

Although everyone knelt to listen to the announcement, there were still some people who were very depressed and dissatisfied, especially those courtiers who favored the second prince, although they were very unconvinced, they still had to promote the four princes with the public, mainly because they were suddenly forced and had to go against their will.

However, most courtiers were still very receptive to this result. Originally, this was also the result that most courtiers wanted to see, after all, Qi Zhe had greeted him openly and secretly before, plus the forces of Zhao Yunfan and Zhao Yunxuan, including Jiang Junwang and other county princes, most of these courtiers had already favored the four princes, but today they just made a statement in accordance with it.

“…… Today, the four princes Qi Huanyue was canonized as the prince of the dynasty to assist me in handling the affairs of the court. Qin ...... "Gonggong Xue finally finished announcing the holy decree.

Qi Huanyue and the ministers immediately kowtowed to thank him for receiving the decree, and Gonggong Xue personally handed over the holy decree to Huanyue's hands and sincerely congratulated: "Congratulations to the four princes." ”

Huan Yue smiled slightly after receiving the holy decree; "Thank you, Grandpa Xue."

"You're welcome!" After Gonggong Xue delivered the holy decree, he returned to Qi You's side.

Qi You said, "Okay." Since the Four Princes are still elected by you, this will has been decided, and everyone will work together to assist the Four Princes and me in the future. ”

The courtiers could only get up and respond: "Please rest assured, the ministers will do their best to assist the four princes." Don't dare to slack off. ”

"Okay, I know your loyalty, okay, the four princes and King Zhe will stay first, and the rest will retreat and disperse." Qi You commanded.

Xue Gonggong immediately waved the dust road; "Retreat from the ......"

In this way, only the fourth prince Qi Huanyue, who had a puzzled face, and Qi Zhe, who had a smile on his face, were left in the hall to accompany Qi You. The courtiers scattered in twos and threes.

After everyone left the outer hall of the Imperial Palace, there was a discussion slowly, but someone with good deeds asked Gongsun Shangshu: "Lord Gongsun, where can you sing today?" ”

Gongsun He sighed slightly: "It's not that I want to sing which, it's the emperor who wants to sing, so we naturally have to sing which." ”

"Could it be that this was deliberately arranged by the emperor?" One of the ministers whispered.

"I didn't say this, but the emperor is afraid that he has already made a plan in his heart, and today is just a formality in the court and blocking some people's mouths." Gongsun Crane Road.

"Yes, I also feel sudden, but I feel that I feel that I am being led by a pair of invisible hands again, and I don't really understand that when I come over, the holy decree of the crown prince has been announced, and this thing is really a little strange." Another minister also said.

"That's right, in fact, if you think about it carefully, maybe it was really arranged by the emperor, after all, these four princes are the most favored by the emperor, and recently the concubine Niangniang has temporarily taken over the palace affairs, maybe she will be able to replace the queen soon." One of the ministers speculated.

"But it's not, it's really confusing today, but it's very certain, these four princes are afraid that they are the people the emperor wants, I haven't seen the five princes who have always been obedient are so energetic, plus the two uncles of the four princes, and the future in-laws of the second princess, most of the ministers have no opinions, this matter is naturally logical, I didn't see that the emperor's decrees were prepared in advance." A neutral minister also commented.

"Yes, but it's a pity for the second prince, the identity of this sister-in-law has fallen to such an embarrassing point, the difference between being favored and not being favored is really not small." A minister sighed.

"Okay, don't discuss it here, now that this matter is decided, there is nothing we can do but assist this crown prince with all our hearts. There is nothing else, it is done, they are all at the gate of the palace, and they all get into the carriage and go home. "Gongsun He seems to see it very thoroughly. It blocked everyone's mouths.

Although the courtiers had a heated discussion, it was just gossip, but the second prince kept a black face and went straight through the crowd and quickly got into the carriage, and left immediately, without even noticing the greetings of everyone in the crowd. I just left, and it looked like it was very uncomfortable.

Looking at the back of the second prince leaving angrily, the courtiers were also very helpless, but this matter was a foregone conclusion, and everyone could only talk and sigh and leave one after another.

And in the main hall, Huan Yue still looked puzzled and puzzled, and Qi You smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Too happy? ”

Huan Yue frowned and shook her head, "Father, are you not joking today?" ”

"Huh?" Qi You smiled.

Qi Zhe patted Huan Yue on the shoulder and said, "Your father's holy decree is in your hands, is it like a joke?" ”

"But...... But that's too ...... It's too ......" Huan Yue couldn't find a more suitable word to describe his feelings at the moment.

Qi Zhe received: "Too suddenly? ”

"Hmm!" Huan Yue couldn't find the right words to describe it, and she could only reluctantly agree with Qi Zhe's statement first.

Qi Zhe laughed and said, "Look, Brother Huang." Your swift action scared our little prince! ”

Qi You and Huan Yue both heard the ridicule in Qi Zhe's words, and Huan Yue said unhappily: "Uncle Wuwang, I didn't scare me, but I haven't figured out the situation yet!" Huan Yue emphasized that he was not afraid, he just hadn't fully reacted yet.

Seeing this, Qi You smiled and said: "Yue'er, you have also seen it, this is the opinion of the courtiers, since everyone has recommended you, and your father is also very optimistic about you, it doesn't hurt if you really try." ”

"Yes...... But the father, the son really didn't think about it. The son is still young, and his experience, ability, knowledge, and courage are not as good as the eldest and second emperor brothers, although the son also wants to help his father and the emperor solve problems, but the son is really worried that his son's ability is not enough. Worried that your son will not only not be able to help you, but may also ask you and Uncle Wuwang to work hard for me in turn, isn't it my son's fault. Huan Yue expressed her worries.

"Hehe, what am I afraid of as a kid, who doesn't make mistakes when he is young, and he is heeled. Besides, it is said that it is assistance, assistance, your father will naturally bring you out hand in hand, what are you worried about, when your father was young, didn't he often leave a mess of things for your grandfather to clean up, you don't go through it and don't hone it, you will never be able to compare with them in terms of experience, ability, courage and knowledge. Qi Zhe touched Huanyue's head and comforted.

"Hey, hey, you talk about it, don't keep talking about me, who is the person who often leaves a bunch of bad things for people to deal with?" Qi You didn't like the fifth brother to dismantle his own platform in front of his own son.

"Hehe, second brother, what are you doing so stingy, brother, I'm just making an analogy." Qi Zhe said with a smile.

"Get out of the way!" Qi You waved Qi Zhe aside, then held Huan Yue's shoulders and smiled slightly: "Now you can't compare to others, you should work harder, you are already the prince, that is to say, you are the future of Daqi, one day you will also sit in the position of your father, and you will also start to become a solid backing for your father, mother, and many of your loved ones, so what you have to do now is not to be afraid, not to worry, but to work harder, more carefully, more attentively, and grow up faster, and then you can become the right-hand man of your father, which is what you must do." Do you understand? ”

In fact, Huan Yue was already full of confusion, but he couldn't help but reply to his father's words, looking at his father's firm and trusting eyes, Huan Yue didn't dare to say no, but chose to nod and said: "Father, your intentions, your expectations, my son understands, and my son will do his best not to let you down." ”

"Okay, this is my Qi You's son, okay, my father still has something to discuss with your fifth uncle alone, you can go back first, and later, my father will talk to you alone."

"Yes! Father, the son retired first. (To be continued.) )
