The eldest prince planned painstakingly, and he must have been full of expectations for it, but this turmoil died down so easily.

I don't know if the eldest prince will vomit blood when he knows about the loss, Tang Ning maliciously speculated in his heart, and his heart was secretly refreshed.

The eldest prince did not vomit blood, but he was very disappointed in his heart, and he felt a chill in his heart at the same time as he was lost.

So many officials wrote to support him, and he had the joy of a big wedding, and in such a favorable situation, the emperor did not even take advantage of the situation to appoint him as the prince.

Could it be that the emperor really didn't want to make him a prince in his heart? This is what makes the eldest prince feel the most chilling.

How so? How so?

With a bang, the precious brushes and inkstones fell to the ground one after another, but the eldest prince didn't look at the beloved inkstone, and his face was full of trance.

How so? He is the eldest son of his father, how could his father not want to make him the prince?

It must be Tang Ning, it must be Tang Ning who entered the palace to slander him! Otherwise, his father must have made him the prince!

The eldest prince clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body trembled, fearful, angry, and unwilling...... All the emotions came rushing together.

The little eunuch tiptoed in, trembling and said, "Your Highness, Lord Peng and Qiu Zhan are asking to see each other." ”

The eldest prince took a deep breath and said, "Let them in." ”

These two were officials who had been following him, so he had nothing to shy away from, not even the pen and inkstone on the ground.

Peng Fang and Qiu Jin walked in one after the other, saluting respectfully, but the two were several steps away.

Peng Fang hurried over after receiving the news, because he knew that this matter would have a great impact on the eldest prince, and he was afraid that the eldest prince would behave at a loss and make a wrong decision after being stimulated.

And Qiu Jin hurried over after receiving the news, because he knew that the eldest prince must be uncomfortable in his heart, and he needed to be comforted at this time.

Ever since the hunt, Qiu Jin has clearly felt that the eldest prince's trust in him is declining, so he must seize the opportunity to redeem it.

The two of them all came in a hurry, and then they ran into each other, and at that moment they were both very tired of each other.

Now that they have entered the study, they are not surprised to see the pen inkstones scattered on the ground. The eldest prince said weakly: "You are here?" ”

Qiu Jin hurriedly said: "Your Highness is angry, you must take care of your body!" ”

The eldest prince looked at Peng Fang, at this time he could already clearly feel that Qiu Jin would only talk nonsense, and he could be a little interesting on weekdays, but at a critical time, he had to look at a capable minister like Peng Fang.

Peng Fang said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, although it is not the result we expect, it is not the worst result, is it?" ”

It is indeed not the worst outcome, the second prince was not made the prince.

The eldest prince sighed: "This palace is still very unwilling, if we continue to guide......"

Peng Fang said resolutely: "Your Highness, no! Never! First, most of the officials had already accepted the emperor's promises, and it was not easy to be instigated. ”

"Second, the emperor is not ignorant of our small actions, if we continue, it will cause the emperor to be disgusted and counterproductive."

The eldest prince said unwillingly: "Then what should I do?" ”

Peng Fang said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, since the emperor promised to establish a prince within three years, he must definitely do it." During this period, His Royal Highness must try his best to express himself and win the emperor's favor. ”

In fact, what Peng Fang said is also a cliché, and there is nothing complicated in it. The establishment of the prince depends on who the emperor prefers to be the prince, and at the same time strives for the support of officials.

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment and said the hidden worry in his heart: "Lord Peng, you say, will my father not want to set up this palace as a prince at all, so he ......?"

Peng Fang said in a deep voice: "Your Highness must not be presumptuous, if the emperor really wants to appoint the second Royal Highness as the prince, then the emperor will directly make an order, and there is no need to wait for another three years." ”

Qiu Jin couldn't help but interject: "Your Highness, the eyes of the hundred officials are bright, and the Second Highness can't compare with His Highness at all." Maybe this is the emperor testing His Highness, so His Highness must not mess with himself. “

Peng Fang persuaded: "Your Highness, the battle for the throne has never been a smooth road, even if His Highness ascends to the position of the prince, he cannot relax. And even more so now? Until the last moment, no one will relax, and no one will give up. ”

After hearing this, the eldest prince finally calmed down, bowed slightly to Peng Fang and said, "What should I do, please teach me Lord Peng." ”

Qiu Jin felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, the eldest prince actually asked Peng Fang for advice, what does this mean?

This shows that Peng Fang's status in the heart of the eldest prince is higher than him, and if the eldest prince ascends the throne as emperor one day, then Peng Fang's official position will also be higher than him.

Qiu Jin's heart was a little sour and unwilling, but he was a pragmatic person. I thought about it in my heart, should he have a good relationship with Peng Fang?

But what gave him a bit of a headache was that this Peng Fang thought very highly of himself and seemed to look down on him. Isn't it just a poor Hanlin? Everyone is a jinshi, what's so nice to look at?

Peng Fang was very surprised when he saw the eldest prince bowing to him and asking for advice, because the eldest prince rarely treated others with such courtesy, which showed that the eldest prince really listened.

Of course, there was inevitably a hint of joy in his heart, which showed that the eldest prince finally recognized his talent and ability.

Peng Fang groaned: "As seen by the following officials, the main focus is on two words, filial piety and benevolence!" Filial piety, filial piety to the emperor, filial piety to the mother, not only to the lady concubine, but also to the rest of the royal highnesses. ”

This is very easy to understand, the eldest prince nodded and said: "What Lord Peng said is reasonable, this palace knows, what about that benevolence, what to understand?" ”

Peng Fang groaned: "Ren, that is, Kuanren!" ”

The eldest prince frowned and said, "Kuanren? ”

Peng Fang nodded and said, "Yes, Kuanren!" Treat people humbly and leniently, and have the style of a gentleman. For example, Tang Ning, Tang Ning and His Royal Highness have a grudge, this matter is known to all the courts, and even the emperor knows about it. ”

"Why didn't His Highness show mercy to Tang Ning? Whether it is the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty or the emperor, he will not feel that His Royal Highness is weak because of this, but will think that His Royal Highness has the style of a gentleman and has a broad heart, if Tang Ning continues to mess around, then he will definitely be rejected by the ministers of the central court and the emperor! ”

"His Royal Highness surrendered without a fight, not only that, but also waited for a good reputation to impress the emperor!"

What Peng Fang said seemed to have some truth, but the eldest prince still felt that he couldn't wipe off his face, and hesitated: "Tang Ning has no dignity in his eyes, and this palace went to reconcile, if he is still unruly, wouldn't this palace be very embarrassed?" If it spreads, I am afraid it will become a joke in the capital! ”
