Since Chen An said so, then Liu Yong has nothing to say, so let's go to the court to discuss it. It is said that the emperor can do whatever he wants, but in fact, it is not true.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, then let's discuss this matter when the day after tomorrow is in the morning!" ”

Chen An arched his hand, but still said: "Your Majesty, you still have to ask Your Majesty to think twice about this matter!" ”

Liu Yong said: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to say more. ”

Chen An had no choice but to retire.

Liu Yong shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "I'll see who can stop me, hehe." "He's ready for all the ministers to compete.

didn't do anything, Liu Yong was the emperor, after he decided to drive the expedition in person, even in the court, all the ministers knelt down, but they didn't stop Liu Yong.

Chen An was extremely disappointed, but he couldn't help it. I had to acquiesce.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty wants to take the Imperial Expedition in person, then Your Majesty must ensure your own safety." Chen An said.

Liu smiled and said, "Otherwise, the Prime Minister will stay by my side to protect me!" ”

Chen An immediately knelt down and said, "The minister is willing." ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "You are willing, I am still unwilling." You went to war with this me, what should this court do? ”

Chen An hurriedly changed his words and said: "Your Majesty, the minister should stay!" ”

"Hehe, that's right! You stay, and let me manage the affairs of the court well. That's the biggest help for me. In addition, I want to choose one of the princes to be the temporary prisoner, who do you think is suitable? Finally, Liu Yong asked.

Chen An was taken aback by this question, what does it mean to be in prison? It means that he is the candidate for the crown prince. Now, the eldest Liu Yanping is in his early thirties, and the second Liu Yanshun is also in his thirties, although many of the remaining princes are too young, but the position of the prince should be selected among the eldest and the second and third.

Chen An was surprised to eat like this, and he didn't know how to answer Liu Yong for a while.

Liu Yong asked again: "Chen An, what's wrong with you?" I ask you! ”

"Well, back to Your Majesty, this, this, the minister has no idea for a while. But Your Majesty, according to common sense, this candidate should be the King of the Lion City. Chen An said. The king of the Lion City he said was the boss Liu Yanping, who was named the king of the Lion City because of his long-term management of the Lion City Island.

Liu Yong nodded, thought about it, and said, "Well, you're right. Yanping is my eldest son, and he has been training on the island of Lion City for a few years. In those years, although I didn't have much credit, I was not at fault, and I went to South Africa to transport gold. Although now the gold mines over there are temporarily closed. But Yanping also has some credit. Even if there is no merit, there is hard work. I also think he is suitable. ”

Chen An thought to himself: "Since Your Majesty you have made up your mind in your heart, what are you still asking me to do?" Thinking like this in his heart, he said: "Since Your Majesty's heart belongs, then the Lion City King should be the most suitable." ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "But ah, this is just a prison country, and it has nothing to do with the establishment of the crown prince." ”

When Chen An heard this, he was shocked again, and said, "Your Majesty, don't you have the idea of setting up a prince at all?" ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "No, I have so many sons, I must choose a prince who can pass on the rivers and mountains of the Huahan Dynasty forever." ”

Chen An nodded, feeling that Liu Yong's idea was fine, but it was not a good thing not to establish a prince for a long time. is like the boss Liu Yanping, who is in his thirties, and he still can't see the intention of being a prince, what will he think in his heart? You know, he will definitely be unwilling. There are also second, third, and even fourth and fifth children, all of whom have the opportunity to be princes.

Such an undercurrent is dangerous for both a royal family and a court. If the prince starts to seize the heir, it will be the court that will lose. And the emperor, as a father, will also be heartbroken by this. The father didn't want to see his sons kill each other.

However, Chen An also knew that even if Liu Yongli became the crown prince, he would not be able to stop this battle for succession. In other words, as long as there are many sons of the emperor, things will not be easy.

However, Liu Yong's delay in establishing the crown prince is probably because he doesn't want to see his sons have the idea of seizing the heir!

But in any case, Chen An has no right to deny Liu Yong's approach.

At this time, Chen An said: "Your Majesty, this matter of establishing a prince, my brother's dynasty has always been a succession!" ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Well, I know this. ”

Chen An couldn't help but be more bold and asked, "Your Majesty, then why don't you just make the King of Lion City the crown prince?" ”

Liu Yong listened to Chen An's question, pondered for a moment and said, "Until now, he has not satisfied me very much. I felt that Yanping's character was a little cowardly. I put the country in the hands of such a person, and I don't feel at ease. ”

Liu Yong's cowardice is not that Liu Yanping is timid and afraid, but that he lacks self-motivation. Indeed, although Liu Yanping is the eldest son, he does not have to be the prince, but this is just an apparent idea, in fact, what he thinks in his heart, Liu Yong, the father, is not clear. On the surface, the boss, Liu Yanping, the king of the Lion City, has no ambitions.

In fact, Liu Yong wanted to see Liu Yanping's ambitions, at least to express that he wanted to be the emperor and wanted to inherit and carry forward the Liu family's country.

However, Liu Yanping did not show his impulsiveness.

This also reflects Liu Yanping's performance in court politics. Now Liu Yanping is working as an errand in the prime minister's yamen, and his position is equivalent to that of the vice premier, called the prime minister's secretary. According to this position, he can take the initiative in government affairs and shine brightly.

But he didn't, he just followed the rules, followed the rules, and didn't show any momentum. This is where Liu Yong said that Liu Yanping was cowardly.

Chen An also knows this. But Liu Yanping is not useless, in Chen An's eyes, Liu Yanping is a diligent and good child. But if you want to be an emperor in the future, sincerity alone is not enough.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the King of the Lion City is indeed lacking in this aspect of aggressiveness. However, the king of the Lion City is sincere, down-to-earth, and a good candidate for a prince! Chen An said.

Liu Yong nodded and said, "This I will continue to observe." ”

Chen An asked again: "What about the second prince, Liu Yanshun, the king of Xinglong?" ”

Liu Yong shook his head and said, "I'm not satisfied with this either. Yanshun is two years younger than Yanping, and he is thirty years old this year, he is quite motivated, but I feel that he lacks the steadfastness of the Lion City King. "The return of the financial empire
