Chapter 48: The Honest Prince

Emperor Qiantian and the ministers, seeing Ye Qingchen thinking, did not speak.

The atmosphere was very silent for a while.

Ye Qingchen knew that only Longyan, Longxia and the three princes were the ones who were qualified to compete for the future throne, and the ministers of the court and the central government must have their own goals to support the three princes.

If he Ye Qingchen really chooses one, he will inevitably offend many people.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingchen slowly spoke: "The three highnesses are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and the grass people are only shallow in learning, and they are not qualified to be the teachers of the three highnesses, so they dare not choose." ”

"Haha, I know that you will say this, it is indeed difficult for you to choose, but it doesn't matter, after the literary event, you have to choose one. ”

Emperor Qiantian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Thank you for your understanding. Ye Qingchen saluted slightly.

Seeing this, the ministers also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Qingchen is now in the Dayan Dynasty, and he has begun to take shape, coupled with his identity as the senior brother of Wujimen, if he chooses any prince, it will definitely be a powerful threat to other princes that cannot be ignored.

"Ye Gongzi is worthy of being the reincarnation of Wensheng, admire. ”

The words that had just attracted the holy breath seemed to still echo in my ears at this moment. ”

"Ye Gongzi, I wonder if you have the idea of engaging for another marriage?"

In the main hall, the compliments continued, and some people even directly asked Ye Qingchen if he had any idea of engaging in another marriage, which made Ye Qingchen a little speechless.

"Don't think crookedly, tomorrow the literary event will come, you should do your own work, run the event, if anyone has a business trip, the widow will not be spared. ”

Emperor Qiantian's expression was serious.

"Holy Lord, when it comes to the grand event, the minister has a small suggestion. ”

An old man with a white beard suddenly bowed down and spoke.

"Prime Minister Xiao, please speak. Emperor Qiantian smiled.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng?

Ye Qingchen was shocked, the position of prime minister, the real one person is above ten thousand people, and he is in a high position, he couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Xiao twice.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's kind eyebrows and kind eyes, chuckled: "Ye Gongzi is amazingly talented, looking at Dayan, except for the Holy Lord, I am afraid that no one can match your talent, so the old minister suggested that Ye Gongzi can be invited to be a judge in this literary event." ”

"I can't do it. Ye Qingchen hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Xiao, let me have a friendly exchange of literature and Taoism with scholars all over the world, I really have no interest in being a judge, and my qualifications are not enough." ”

"Holy Lord, the old minister supports Ye Gongzi. ”

At this moment, another old man next to him stood up.

The old man was in high spirits, his face was full of red light, and his body stood straight.

"What does Taifu Chen think?" asked Emperor Qiantian with a smile.

Taifu?

Ye Qingchen was startled.

He remembered that Taifu seemed to be the emperor's teacher, and in terms of status, he was not much weaker than the prime minister, and he could even stand side by side.

Mrs. Chen was a little more sharp than Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, and he said solemnly: "Ye Gongzi is a rare genius in my Dayan for a hundred years, we should respect his opinion, since he wants to participate in the competition, then let Ye Gongzi compete."

The old minister thought that after the competition, Ye Gongzi's talent would be completely convincing to the people of the world, and at that time, he would ask Ye Gongzi to choose a His Royal Highness to accept him as a disciple, or the saint would seal Ye Gongzi, and everything would be logical. ”

"Master Taifu is reasonable, reasonable, and well-founded, but he is old and ill-conceived. Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

"No, no. Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "Old Prime Minister Xiao is far-sighted, and it is also for Ye Gongzi's consideration, if Ye Gongzi agrees with your suggestion, it will also be a good thing." ”

"It's too much of an award. Prime Minister Xiao smiled.

Ye Qingchen sighed in his heart, this is probably the legendary business blowing each other.

"What you two elders said makes sense, if this is the case, then let Ye Qingchen participate in the grand competition. ”

Emperor Qiantian made the final decision.

"Thank you. Ye Qingchen saluted.

"Prince, you can entertain Ye Gongzi for the widow's good life, and early tomorrow morning, go to the Dijing Martial Arts Dojo to participate in the grand event. "Emperor Qiantian said.

"Whoa!"

Prince Longyan bowed down.

"Holy Lord, the grass people retreat. ”

Ye Qingchen gave up.

"Wait. Emperor Qiantian raised his eyebrows.

Ye Qingchen's heart jumped, what's wrong with this?

"Ye Qingchen, you always call yourself a grass people, which makes the widow really can't listen to it, and I really want to make you an official and a half-job. Emperor Qiantian stared at Ye Qingchen.

As soon as this sentence came out, many ministers in the court laughed.

Ye Qingchen coughed dryly and said, "Holy Lord, Qingchen retires!"

"You guy, you're so afraid of being an official, just step down. Emperor Qiantian waved his hand.

Hearing this, Ye Qingchen saluted again before turning around and leaving, and Prince Longyan hurriedly followed Ye Qingchen.

The two walked out of the main hall together and walked out of the palace.

After standing outside the palace, Ye Qingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Above the hall, there are all bigwigs of the Dayan Dynasty, and it is impossible not to be nervous.

However, Ye Qingchen did not show any on his face.

"Senior Brother Ye, I would like to ask you a question. ”

Long Yan looked at Ye Qingchen.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Ye Qingchen said.

Long Yan put his hands on his abdomen and asked softly, "Do you think Prime Minister Xiao or Mrs. Chen, which one is better to get along?"

"Ugh. Ye Qingchen was stunned: "Before answering your question, can I also ask His Highness a question?"

"Senior Brother Ye, may I ask!"

"Do you prefer Prime Minister Xiao or Mrs. Chen?" Ye Qingchen asked with a smile.

"Can I say I don't like it?" Long Yan smiled.

"Naturally. Ye Qingchen said: "Why don't Your Highness tell me about the situation in the court." ”

"Senior Brother Ye is really wise. After Long Yan looked left and right, he pulled Ye Qingchen away from the city gate before he said slowly: "Senior Brother Ye, don't look at the fact that Prime Minister Xiao and Mrs. Chen seem to be harmonious, in fact, the struggle is very complicated. ”

"What kind of complicated method?" Ye Qingchen asked casually.

"Prime Minister Xiao supports Longxia, and Mrs. Chen supports my third brother Long Yu, so the secret fight has never stopped. Long Yan said in a deep voice.

"Then who supports Your Highness?" Ye Qingchen asked curiously.

Mrs. Chen and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng are two people who are very powerful and prestigious in Dayan, and neither of them supported Long Yan, the rightful prince, which made Ye Qingchen a little surprised.

Long Yan didn't answer Ye Qingchen's question immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "General Su, who is in charge of 300,000 troops at Border Pass, is my uncle. ”

When Ye Qingchen heard this, his footsteps paused.

It turns out that the prince's backer is a ruthless person.

In charge of an army of 300,000, this is the greatest real power, I am afraid that even if it is a saint, he must be afraid of three points.

Ye Qingchen was slightly surprised, the crown prince Long Yan could say this, which was very frank, and he immediately said: "Your Highness, you don't need to worry too much, with your uncle here, it will be difficult for others to take away your crown prince's position." ”

"Definitely. Long Yan smiled bitterly: "My uncle, although he occasionally helps me, he often says that I am not suitable to be an emperor, to be honest, I can't figure out my uncle's mind, so I hope Senior Brother Ye, you can help me." ”
