Chapter 293: Establishing the Crown Prince

Half a month later, Xiao signed a business agreement with the Han State, and negotiated the princess's distant marriage, and the second prince of Xiao Guo left the imperial capital with other envoys. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day was the day of the last dynasty, when the ministers came to the Jinluan Palace one after another, they suddenly found that the eldest prince Liu Sheng, who had not been seen for a long time, had also come to the palace. The ministers glanced at each other, tacitly thinking of the competition for the position of the crown prince, and the eldest prince Liu Sheng was also one of the strong contenders, and the eldest prince, who had been ignored by everyone, re-entered the eyes of the ministers.

Jin Shichang, the protector of the country, naturally also saw Liu Sheng, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping a few times, this Liu Sheng's life is so big, he can't die.

Liu Jing and the Cao family lost power, Jin Shichang originally thought that Liu Ji was nine out of ten, and it was only a matter of time before he became the prince and ascended the throne, so before the envoys of Xiao State left, they did not persecute the emperor, but they did not expect that as soon as the envoys left, Liu Sheng would come back, things seemed to be a little bad, and Jin Shichang inexplicably had a bad premonition.

Not to mention that the Jin family and the ministers had different thoughts, but said that Liu Rui was extremely happy when he saw the imperial brother coming back, and hurriedly walked up to Liu Sheng, and said with a smile: "When did the imperial brother come back?" ”

He felt that there was a full stomach, but above this palace, under the noses of everyone, only one sentence was asked.

Liu Sheng didn't avoid suspicion as before this time, and looked at Liu Rui with gentle eyes, "The city I entered when the city gate was closed yesterday, because it was too late, I didn't inform Ah Rui, Ah Rui won't blame the imperial brother." ”

Liu Sheng did enter the city before the city gate was closed, and he met the emperor in the palace first, and then went back to the house to wash and eat, the time was a little late, and he was quite tired of galloping all the way, so he didn't tell Liu Rui, thinking that he could meet this morning, and he didn't have to rush for a while.

"How could it be, the royal brother has worked hard all this way, and he should have rested earlier."

Liu Sheng smiled and signaled with his eyes to talk later.

Liu Min next to him also stepped forward to greet the eldest brother, but Liu Ji snorted coldly as usual, with a disdainful expression.

Everyone was chatting casually in groups of three and five in the hall, when they heard the shrill voice of the inner official, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Everyone was busy lining up according to their grades, bowing down to the mountain and shouting long live, until the emperor said "flat", and then turned around and stood up.

The internal official said as usual: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”

Jin Ming, the prince of the protectorate, came out of the ranks, "Your Majesty, the matter of establishing the prince is a major event in the court, which has been delayed for several months, for the stability of the Han Kingdom, I also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible, and let the ministers rest assured." ”

Jin Miao's words were very polite, and all the ministers changed color slightly when they heard it, but the emperor sitting on the dragon chair was not unhappy, but said softly: "What the Qing family said is very reasonable, I don't know if you have any suggestions?" ”

Jin Luo was about to say more, but he didn't want Lin Dongyang, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Prince of Anguo, to jump out and rush to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the eldest prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, and he is the first queen, both the eldest and the longest, and he is the best candidate for the prince." ”

"Your ......Majesty" Jin Luo glared at Lin Dongyang, and was about to argue, but who knew that there was a temporary Minister Yang who was still the secretary of the Ministry next to him, "Your Majesty, Lin Shangshu's proposal is the voice of the ministers, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is a martial artist, and he is an unborn talent of Yiqun, and he has to be personally taught by His Majesty, abide by the three outlines and five constants, be loyal and filial to His Majesty, treat his brothers and sisters, and be benevolent and righteous to others. ”

Lord Yang is worthy of being experienced, and he is used to flattery, and he talked eloquently, praising Liu Sheng as nothing in the sky or on the earth, and even Liu Sheng himself blushed a little when he heard it, is he so good?

Liu Sheng blushed, but also a little surprised, when did this Lord Yang become his own faction? And today's painting style seems to be blowing the southeast wind that is beneficial to you?

Liu Sheng was secretly pondering here, and Jin Miao over there was even more anxious, and hurriedly argued, "Your Majesty, the third prince is Your Majesty's son-in-law, and the most loyal to Your Majesty." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two sharp rays of light shooting over, one was his father Jin Shichang's, and the other was His Majesty the Emperor, who was high above.

"Lord Jin's words are wrong, His Royal Highness the eldest prince is the eldest son of the first queen, and the first queen is the daughter-in-law of the first emperor, if you talk about the son-in-law, the eldest prince and the fourth highness can really be called His Majesty's son-in-law."

General Peng, the secretary of the military department, disagreed with Jin Ming's words, shook his head and pleaded out, he was not polite, the meaning of the words was that only the first queen was the daughter-in-law recognized by her father-in-law, and the queen Jin could only be regarded as a step-family at most, although the son of the step-room could barely be called a son-in-law, but there was still a difference with the original son-in-law.

Although General Peng has not been in the court for a long time, his qualifications are there, and what he says naturally has weight, so many ministers below nodded their heads one after another, with great agreement.

"Your Majesty, the dog has made a mistake in his words, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." Jin Shichang had to come out of the ranks, and at the same time shouted to Jin Ming, "Don't kneel down yet." ”

Jin Miao was so frightened that he knelt down, the emperor glanced at him lightly, and did not tell him to get up, but asked Mrs. Zhuang instead, "What does Aiqing think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although our Han country is said to be rich in land and resources, rich and strong, but surrounded by the three kingdoms, if it is surrounded by tigers and wolves, a careless move or the risk of misleading the country, so as a prince, he should be brave and resolute, so he can take on the heavy responsibility of being the king of a country in the future, so that my Han country can continue to prosper." Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhuang raised his head and looked around, before he said slowly, "The old minister thinks that the talent of the eldest prince is enough to be competent. ”

"Zhongshu Ling, what do you think?"

"The minister seconded the proposal."

As soon as the words of Lord Wang fell, a large number of voices of "seconded by ministers" and "seconded by ministers" sounded, and with the voice, Lin Dongyang knelt down, General Peng knelt down, Lord Yang knelt down, Lord Qian, Xiao Yi, and Xu Lang all knelt down.

There are also the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and many other ministers, Jin Shichang's eyelids kept beating wildly, what made him unbelievable was that his in-law Shangshu Mo of the Ministry of Rites was not on his side, and he actually knelt down while saying "second", and even the Shu family's honest Bo Shuhong and the general Shu Jiaqi stood on Liu Sheng's side clearly.

Crazy, all crazy.

Jin Shichang watched most of the people in the hall kneel down to petition, and couldn't believe it, is this still the court he has been running for decades? Is this still the court where he basically has the final say? When was it out of his control?

He looked at those new faces, when did these new faces who neither belonged to his Jin family nor the Cao family occupy most of the positions, and they were still such an important position, Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng, you are really a good means, it is I who underestimated you, so I lost today.

Kim Shichang swallowed back the mouthful of blood that had rushed to his throat.

As soon as the ministers who fell on both sides of the court saw the general trend, they immediately knelt down, and even a few who were loyal to the Jin family hesitated to follow the trend, and in the end, the entire court, except for a few princes, Jin Shichang was still standing under the hall, and Jin Shichang, who was independent in the hall, had no momentum, but showed a kind of declining defeat.
