Chapter 100: Prince Yikun
"Dare to ask Brother Wang, has the situation in various countries changed?" Although Yu Jinli and Yu Yanyi have different positions, Yu Yanyi's statement has also been listened to in his heart.
"Father, the emperor and his sons have already traveled to various countries before returning to the court, so they also know a little about the situation in various countries. The countries were originally independent and did not interfere with each other, but in recent years, the attitude of Shao and Rin Palace towards the ancient emperor has been subtle, and according to Erchen, the two countries seem to want to get along with Qin and Jin. "Yu Yan Yi has reached the point, and the princes and ministers are all people who understand, and once they are pointed, they suddenly become enlightened.
"If the marriage between the two countries is completed, even if the ancient emperor is prosperous, it will be difficult to speak alone. I think that at the beginning, Shaoguo also annexed Anlan in one fell swoop after isolating Anlan. Now I want to repeat my old tricks, which is extremely shameless! Fortunately, the eldest prince was worried about the country and the people, and he learned about it before he returned to the court, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Your Majesty, now that you know about this, you cannot sit idly by. The official Shangshu was furious, and the green tendons holding the jade wat burst out.
"The ministers seconded the proposal."
"The marriage between the two countries has not yet been announced to the world, so why should the official secretary be so worried. If it is a marriage, how many women are in our ancient palace, is it not as good as the county lord of a regent palace in Shaoguo? Now that the matter of the prince is being discussed, what does the secretary of the ministry mean by talking about him left and right? The eyes of the right minister staring at the official book were not only flashing with anger, but also murderous.
Originally, Yu Muchen was Yu Jinli's most powerful competitor, but because of the matter of raising private soldiers, he had no chance with the prince; Yu Yanyi has just returned to the dynasty, and there are even fewer supporters.
Who knows, just when the position of the prince was within reach, Yu Yanyi, who was sick, suddenly appeared, and his remarks caused the neutral party led by the official department to defect one after another.
"Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, and the courtiers should be grateful to Dai De and do their best for the country, but now the atmosphere in the court is not right, and some officials are dedicated to themselves, and they are only trying to get high-ranking officials. Wechen implored His Majesty to reform the rule of officials, rectify the dynasty, and develop national strength according to the words of the great prince, so that the enemy country would not dare to attack. "The officials are well aware that if the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee are corrupt, if they do not vigorously rectify the situation, the building will be in danger.
Weichen believes that the eldest prince not only has the virtue of a prince, but also the person who is desired by the people and desired by the people. Moreover, since ancient times, the prince has established a long-term prince, and the eldest prince is the eldest son, and he can be established as the crown prince, and then lead the reform. Taifu glanced at the ancient emperor meaningfully, and suddenly changed to support the imperial Yan Yi.
"The Empress Yuan is both sexually and well-behaved, and the eldest prince is naturally also a virtuous person, and the sons and daughters also ask the prince to be the prince." Yu Jinli didn't say a word at first in order to avoid suspicion, but at this moment, when he saw Taifu change his words, he immediately agreed.
He is not a stupid person, for many years, the courtiers have tried to advise the prince, but the ancient emperor has repeatedly prevaricated, delayed again and again, and as soon as Yu Yanyi returned to the court, he mentioned the matter of the prince.
What's more, the official Shangshu is a person of the ancient imperial emperor, and he has always stayed out of the affairs of the court, but now he is involved in the matter of establishing a prince, how can it have nothing to do with the ancient imperial emperor.
Since there is no hope for the establishment of the reserve, then, this matter will be promoted to please the heart.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ministers and Yin Zhuxiao and others who had the intention of reform in the court asked Yu Yan Yi to be the prince.
More than half of the kneeling people knelt.
"Left and right, but there are other candidates?" The ancient emperor looked curiously at the left and right phases.
"Weichen, second." The right phase seemed to be holding back something, and he didn't have a seizure after all.
"The minister also seconded the proposal." Although the left phase is unwilling, his face is much better than that of the right phase.
Emperor Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction, and his tone was obviously a little brisk, "The Hanlin Academy intends to make the eldest prince Yu Yan Yi the prince of Yikun, and from now on, he will stay in the Prince's Mansion to temporarily take charge of the Hanlin Academy and assist me in assisting the country. The Qin Heavenly Supervisor calculated the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the Ministry of Rites arranged the succession and announced the matter to the world. ”
"Commandment." One by one, the ministers who were named knelt down to receive the order.
"The sons and ministers will cultivate self-cultivation and morality, seek the well-being of the people, and never fail to live up to the love of their father and the love of the princes and ministers." Even if the scenery is infinite at this moment, Yu Yanyi is still indifferent, humble and elegant.
Seeing this, some officials in the court who were obsessed with partisan disputes also realized why the ancient emperor repaired and expanded the palace when he was still a prince into the prince's mansion.
When the ancient emperor did not ascend the throne, except for the princess, that is, Yu Yanyi's biological mother, there were no concubines in the palace.
The reason why the palace was rebuilt into the prince's mansion was undoubtedly that Yu Yanyi had already been designated as a candidate for the prince.
The ancient emperor had already made up his mind about the successor, but today he let the ministers have a war of words. The minister who was afraid of things thought of the powerful relationship, and cold sweat was dripping behind him.
"Zhu Aiqing, do you still have something important to do?" The slightly proud Emperor Gu Yu swept over the iron-faced right minister, the proud and disappointed left minister, and the Taifu and others who had nothing to do with themselves.
After the retreat from the dynasty, the ministers did not have to be hindered by the ancient emperor and kept silent, and the way out of the palace was not lively.
"The right prime minister has tried his best to ascend to the crown prince for King Li. I think that at the beginning, the right minister contributed money and effort to rebuild the prince's mansion, but now he is marrying others. The left phase blocked the way of the right phase, and there was a sneer.
"It's better than Zuo Xiang, and I don't dare to speak for King Chen." The right minister put his hands in his sleeves, and walked around the left side as if no one was around.
"You and I are just each other, unlike some people, who said a moment ago that His Royal Highness King Li is so talented that he can change his words at any time in order to invite favor." Zuo Xiang's eyes swept over the Taifu not far away.
Taifu grabbed his goatee, and his eyes flashed with wisdom, "From the perspective of benefiting the country and the people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed the eldest prince." ”
Zuo Xiang flicked his sleeves and sneered, "It's a high-sounding statement, who doesn't know that you are a traitorous villain who can only flatter." ”
At this time, the great eunuch beside the ancient emperor hurriedly rushed to Mrs. Zhou, and with a sharp voice like a duck's voice, he extinguished the fire of the war that had not yet burned, "Mrs. Zhou, Your Majesty is invited!" ”
"It's troublesome for Father-in-law Han to run away."
"Mrs. Zhou is polite, please here!" Gonggong Han was originally a person with exquisite faces, and he knew the friendship between Taifu Zhou and the ancient emperor, and was extremely polite and respectful to Taifu Zhou.
"Brother Wang, no, now I should change my words to Brother Prince." Yu Jinli waited until the congratulatory people around Yu Yanyi dispersed before he stepped forward.
"King Li has something to do with the palace?"
"It's okay, just like all the officials, just say hello to the prince and brother." Yu Jinli gracefully bowed to Yu Yan.
"I have heard that King Li is polite and courteous, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation."
"It's just a name."
"King Li wants to go out of the palace with the palace, and by the way, take a look at the prince's mansion that is personally on the right."
"Thank you for the invitation of the prince and brother, but the younger brother has not asked the queen mother for peace today, so he can only be disrespectful."
"Queen?" Yu Yanyi pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "This palace has been back to the dynasty for a long time, but I have never seen Feng Rong, why don't I go with King Li?" ”
"Queen Mother...... The queen mother has been sick recently, and the prince and brother, as the prince, are the princes, so as not to give the illness to the prince and the prince, and shake the country. Or wait a few days for the queen mother to be safe, and then ask the prince and brother to go together. Yu Jinli's tone was extremely apologetic and gentle.
"Even so, it doesn't hurt to change the day. It's just that I want to bother King Li to say to the queen on behalf of the palace: This palace thanks the queen for her care many years ago and yesterday's care, and in the future, this palace will definitely repay with a spring. ”
"The younger brother will take his leave first!" When Yu Jinli heard this, he hurriedly said goodbye a little unnaturally.
"Queen Qi, His Royal Highness King Li asks to see you." The old lady with a wrinkled smile on her face hurriedly ran into the hall and said excitedly to a graceful, elegant and noble woman sitting on a high phoenix throne.
"Come in, please." Although the tone and eyes are extremely happy, the gestures are still full of manners, and there is no faux pas, which is exemplary.
And the years seem to be very kind to her, and they have not left any traces on her face, and she is still beautiful, and if others don't know, they will definitely regard her as a brother and sister, not a mother and son.
"Erchen asked the queen mother to say goodbye, the queen mother was blessed with Wan'an, recently the son got a pair of exquisite jade sparrows, specially brought to the queen mother, and I hope the queen mother likes it." Yu Jinli's greeting ceremony is also perfect and impeccable.
"Excuse me, get up quickly, give me a seat." There was a slight hint of urgency in his tone.
The old lady didn't need to be instructed, so she took the rosewood box that Yu Jinli held in the palm of her hand and presented it to the queen respectfully.
"Li'er has a heart." The queen opened the wooden box casually and looked at the ingenious pair of jade carved sparrows, and there were no emotional fluctuations.
"If the queen mother likes it, it's fine."
"You all go down!" With the queen's order, more than a dozen palace people who were waiting on the side rushed out and closed the door gently.
"Li'er, how did it turn out?" After no one was around, the queen didn't care about the white jade-like jade sparrow at all, and only cared about the matter of the prince.
Although she is the master of the harem, she has no real power, and the ancient emperor has placed a lot of eyeliner around her. In order to avoid upsetting him and turning her anger on Yu Jinli, she didn't send anyone to find out the news.
I don't know what the situation was in the previous dynasty, since the early dynasty, she was sitting at the Qifeng Palace, anxiously waiting for the news of Yu Jinli.
"Please also ask the queen mother not to be angry, the son is incompetent, and the person who was made the prince is the eldest brother." Yu Jinli bowed his head and knelt down in front of the queen to plead guilty.
"Li Er and that little evil are the same as the emperor's heir, just because he is from that slut, even if the evil seed has been out of the palace for 20 years, Li Er has been filial piety under his knees for 18 years, the king is the king, the people are loved, and he is strict with himself everywhere. When he was about to establish the prince, he still did not hesitate to set the little evil seed as the prince, and he had a place for our mother and son in his heart. The queen was angry and overturned several cases on the side, and the tea cup on it, together with the Yuwen Bird sent by Yu Jinli, fell to pieces.
"Queen Mother, the matter of establishing a reserve has already been completed, why should you vent your anger on your brother." A fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman dressed in a green riding uniform and holding a horsewhip angrily pushed the palace people open and broke down the door.
