The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, the ministers entered the palace one after another, preparing to go to the early court.

Murong Zhan also came, this was the first time he stood in the court after a few years, Murong Qian saw Murong Zhan standing there intact today, and finally accepted the fact that he was really good.

He pulled a smile and walked up to Murong Zhan, "Sixth brother, congratulations, I didn't expect your legs to get better again." ”

"Fifth brother, didn't expect me to be good or didn't want me to be good?"

Murong Qian's hand that was about to be placed on Murong Zhan's shoulder froze in mid-air, smiled awkwardly, and retracted his hand.

"The sixth brother said this, and the fifth brother naturally hopes that you will be well."

"In this way, then Fifth Brother Xie cares." Murong Zhan smiled at Murong Qian, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

"But I haven't congratulated the fifth brother on his promotion to King An."

Murong Qian smiled at Murong Zhan, "I haven't made an official decree yet, it's a little early to congratulate now, it's all up to my father, otherwise I'm only the fifth prince." ”

Murong Zhan looked at Murong Qian, and always felt that there was an element of showing off and smugness in his smile, his eyes were a little cloudy, and he lowered his head and smiled and did not speak again.

The brothers, who had their own hearts in their hearts, returned to their original positions, looked at the emperor, who had already entered the main hall, and shouted long live together as the ministers knelt down.

"Everyone loves to be flat." Murong Xuancheng is in a good mood, the fifth child returned to Beijing safely, and the sixth child has also recovered from his leg disease, after all, he is also a father, and he definitely hopes that his children can be healthy.

After Murong Xuancheng sat down, he first saw Murong Zhan's figure, nodded to him and said, "The sixth is here."

Murong Zhan stood up and stepped forward and saluted: "My son's legs are good now, so he naturally wants to share his father's worries."

Murong Xuancheng smiled with relief, "Okay, but you haven't entered the court for many years, so you must not be clear about the current situation, so you will listen and watch more on the side first, and it will probably not be long before you can re-participate in political affairs." ”

"Yes, my son obeys." Murong Zhan bowed and said, a smile of unknown meaning hung on the corner of his mouth, heh, do you really think I don't understand anything?

Not long after the emperor sat down, Fang Qingzhou, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, couldn't wait to stand up and play: "Your Majesty, please think twice about the matter of sealing His Royal Highness Fifth as King An."

Murong Xuancheng's smile closed, and he squinted at Fang Qingzhou, "Oh, why did Fang Aiqing say this?" ”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has not been established, and he cannot be crowned king first."

When the ministers heard this, they also echoed it one after another, thinking that Fang Qingzhou was right, since the founding of the country in the east, there has been no precedent for crowning the king first without appointing a prince.

Murong Qian looked at this scene, his face was a little stiff, these old guys were still raising their glasses to congratulate him yesterday, and today they all oppose him being crowned king in the court, and they have become really fast.

Murong Xuancheng showed a dangerous smile and asked Fang Qingzhou, "What is Fang Aiqing's opinion?"

"According to Weichen's opinion, it is better to establish the candidate for the crown prince first, and then talk about the matter of sealing the king."

Murong Qian looked at Fang Qingzhou, revealing an unclear look, old guy, every time he came out to stir up the situation.

"Then who does Fang Aiqing think is the most capable of being the crown prince?" The smile on the corner of Murong Xuancheng's mouth was long gone, and he seemed to have guessed who Fang Qingzhou was going to say.

"The former crown prince Murong Fu was abolished for the crime of possessing weapons privately, but the minister thought that this matter was too strange, and it was too hasty to abolish the crown prince without investigation. I also hope that Your Majesty can re-investigate this matter and restore His Royal Highness the Prince's innocence. ”

Sure enough, when he heard Fang Qingzhou say the name of the rebel, Murong Xuancheng's forehead was bulging, and he was faintly angry, he snorted lightly, "Is Fang Aiqing questioning my decision?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen just thinks that there are too many loopholes in the matter of the prince, everything is too coincidental, it seems that someone designed it, with the character of His Royal Highness the prince, he is indeed not such a bold person."

"Enough! Fang Qingzhou, I have been thinking of you for so many years, and I don't care about your mistakes today! Hugh's name on the premise of the rebel! ”

Fang Qingzhou was startled when he saw the angry emperor, and he didn't dare to say anything more, but his face was much uglier, he was unwilling! Now that Murong Qian is in power, Murong Zhan has also come out, if he doesn't fight for Murong Fu, he really has no chance, he looked at Li Tong, who is also a bachelor of Hanlin Academy.

Li Tong received Fang Qingzhou's signal, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to the system of the ancestors, there is no reason to be crowned king before the crown prince is established. ”

"What if I set this precedent today?"

"Your Majesty, by all means! The ancestral system cannot be violated. ”

All the ministers echoed, "Yes, the ancestral system cannot be violated. ”

"Your Majesty think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think again." Kneeling down in front of the hall, they were all making the emperor think twice.

Murong Xuan was so angry that he trembled, the Fang family had such a great ability!

"I want to know, this Donglin is from my Murong family or from his Fang family!"

These words were very heartbreaking, all the ministers looked at each other, not daring to speak, and Fang Qingzhou's face was even more pale and uneasy.

Looking at Fang Qingzhou's almost entire body lying on the ground, Murong Xuancheng snorted coldly, "I am the Son of Heaven, do I still need your consent to make my son the prince?" ”

"Wechen... Wechen had no such intention. Fang Qingzhou's body trembled, and beads of nervous sweat dripped down the faint wrinkles on his forehead.

"Hmph, do you still have any objections?"

"The ministers have no objections." All the ministers fell to the ground again, not daring to say more.

Murong Qian and Murong Zhan watched everything coldly from the beginning to the end, and Murong Qian wrote down Fang Qingzhou and Li Tong. Murong Zhan looked at Murong Xuancheng with a satisfied look on his face at this time.

Murong Xuancheng's cold tone sounded: "There is no objection, Jiang Hai, let's announce the decree." ”

Jiang Hai immediately said yes, took out the holy decree that had been prepared, and began to read it: "Murong Fu, the fifth prince, is talented, wise, and heroic......... Today, Murong is specially enshrined as the king of An, and he is given a treasure, which should be respected. When self-cultivation and family, loyalty and filial piety. Chin this! ”

After Jiang Hai finished reading the holy decree, Murong Qian came out and knelt down, bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you father and emperor Longen, the son will live up to his father's expectations!" ”

Murong Xuancheng nodded at Murong Qian, looked down again, and asked, "But there is still something to do?" ”

Lin Yanqing, the secretary of the military department, raised his head and glanced at Murong Zhan when he heard this, Murong Zhan shook his head slightly, and Lin Yanqing lowered his head again and said nothing.

Murong Xuancheng waited for a while, and when he saw that no one spoke, he got up and announced his retreat.

After retreating, the courtiers surrounded Murong Qian and patted his ass, Murong Zhan glanced at him from a distance, showed a sneer, and then turned to leave.

Lin Yanqing quietly followed Murong Zhan, and only after leaving the palace gate did he catch up with Murong Zhan.

"Your Highness, why didn't you let the minister play?"

"Now is not a good time, I haven't been to the court for a long time, my father must think that I don't know about the current affairs of the court, besides, Murong Qian is now in the limelight, most of the ministers are inclined to him, rashly proposed to participate in politics, Murong Qian will be vigilant, or after a while."

"Yes."

When he returned to the mansion, Murong Zhan entered the study with a gloomy face, he sat on the chair and swept away the things on the table angrily, Huayang listened to the sound in the house, hurriedly pushed the door in, looked at the mess all over the ground, and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?" ”

"Get out!" Murong Zhan yelled at Hua Yang, Hua Yang was stunned, and then silently retreated and closed the door.

Murong Zhan felt a little tightness in his chest, he smiled bitterly, and then raised his head and laughed, but the laughter sounded full of sadness.

It seems that my father has really forgotten him in the past few years, and he is a good king! I hope he is safe, but what about me? What am I? I'm hurt for you, shouldn't I be the one you want to be safe and healthy the most? Oh, King An, it's ridiculous! I want to see if this King An can really be safe!

Murong Zhan's eyes showed hatred, and he called, "South China!" ”

"The subordinates are here." The figure of South China came in out of nowhere.

"How's the person you got in touch with?"

"The subordinate has handed the man a token according to His Highness's orders, and informed His Highness of what He ordered."

"What did he say?"

"He is already ready, just waiting for His Highness's orders."

"Okay, send him a message. Ten days later, proceed as planned. ”

"Yes."

After Hua Nan retreated, Huayang's voice sounded outside.

"Your Highness, the Holy Maiden is here."

Murong Zhan's eyes were overjoyed, and he replied lightly: "I know, let her wait in the hall for a while, and I'll go back to the room and change my clothes." ”

"Yes."

After Murong Zhan changed back into his regular clothes, he arrived in the hall, Lu Wanting sat there and drank tea quietly, she didn't wear a veil today, and Murong Zhan suddenly felt better.

He stepped forward and said, "Why is Miss Lu free to come over today?" ”

Lu Wanting turned around and saw Murong Zhan, stood up and said, "I've seen Your Highness." ”

After Murong Zhan sat down, she sat down and continued: "If you have nothing to do today, come over and see Your Highness." I heard that His Highness went to court today? ”

Murong Zhan smiled, "Miss Lu is well-informed. It's just that I've been idle in the house for too long, thinking that now that my leg disease is better, there is no reason to be so idle. ”

"Your Highness enters the court at this time, don't you think it's a little inappropriate?"

"Hehe, Miss Lu's words are still so sharp. My father is working state affairs and getting older, and I, as a son, just want to do something for him and share a little. ”

"Hmm." Lu Wanting picked up the teacup and raised her head to take a sip of tea, hiding her disdainful eyes for Murong Zhan.

"Why, Miss Lu cares so much about my business?" Murong Zhan half-jokingly.

"It's just that His Highness's legs are just right, and it is not appropriate to move around, so I asked a few more questions."

"I see. Thank you Miss Lu for remembering, I'll pay attention. Hearing Lu Wanting's answer, Murong Zhan's eyes dimmed for a moment.

After speaking, he looked at Lu Wanting again, and said with a serious expression: "Miss Lu, what if I enter the court for any other purpose?" ”

"For what purpose?"

"For example, I want to please my father."

"Flattering?" Lu Wanting was puzzled.

"Well, please your father, and then let him agree to me marrying the holy daughter as the princess."

"Uh-huh???" Lu Wanting didn't understand.

Murong Zhan looked at Lu Wanting affectionately, "You say, what kind of method should I use to please my father and persuade him to agree to let me marry you." ”

Lu Wanting coughed violently, "Ahem, cough... Your Highness, what do you mean by that? ”

"What do I mean, Miss Lu still doesn't understand?"
