Chapter 268: Storm
The wedding of the eldest prince who caused a sensation in the capital finally passed, and the heated discussions on the streets and alleys of the capital gradually subsided, and the distressed feeling in Tang Ning's heart also faded away.
Sometimes Tang Ning would also think about the third lady of the Mei family, I don't know if the eldest prince will treat her harshly, if this is the case, then he will inevitably feel a trace of guilt in his heart.
Of course, just thinking about it in his heart, Tang Ning would not inquire about the eldest prince's newlywed life. Tang Ning rejoined the drills of the Nanshan camp.
However, a storm suddenly blew in the middle of the court, breaking the quiet life of Tangning and the peace of the entire capital.
On the occasion of the arrival of the scorching summer, this storm ignited the entire capital at once and became the hottest topic in the streets and alleys.
The cause is an inconspicuous petty official, Chen Yuanli, the master of the Taifu Temple, wrote to the imperial court, the prince is an adult, for the country's social planning, please establish a prince, the eldest prince is married and adult, and the whole world celebrates, and he should be established as the crown prince.
The master of Taifu Temple, a seven-rank petty official who is in charge of driving, is an absolute marginal figure in Beijing, and such a person is really not involved in any major affairs of the imperial court.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just eating radishes and worrying about it, you are a sesame official who is in charge of driving, and it will be over if you look at your carriage carefully.
A petty official like you has no weight, but you put your beak in such a big thing as Lichu, does anyone take care of it? What a waste of pen and ink.
But Chen Yuanli just got involved, and he dared to be the first in the world! No one opened his mouth, he opened his mouth, no one mixed it, he mixed it.
Moreover, the recital of such a humble petty official was not drowned in the sea of recitals, but stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
It is true that the recital of a minor official is not eye-catching, but then dozens of officials wrote to request the appointment of the crown prince officially aroused heated discussions in the DPRK and China.
Lichu, whether it was an official or a common man, was inexplicably excited when he heard this. Whether it is an official of the DPRK and China or a pawn in the market, when it comes to major affairs in the DPRK and China, he always spits and talks endlessly.
Moreover, now that the two princes are approaching adulthood, and the storage position is vacant, it is reasonable to establish a reserve.
When Chen Yuanli was in the book, no one thought anything, after all, he was just a petty official, not worth paying attention to, maybe he wanted to be promoted and make a fortune and wanted to go crazy.
But when dozens of officials went to the book together, many officials were aware of it, and someone must have instructed them behind it.
And it is not difficult for the person who instructed him to guess that it must be the eldest prince.
Therefore, some people think that it is better to wait and see the news, and some people think that the emperor should indeed establish a prince, so they also take advantage of the situation to write a book.
The imperial court suddenly became hot, and even Tang Ning, who was staying in the camp of Nanshan, was quickly alarmed.
When he first heard the news, Tang Ning was also very shocked, please ask the emperor to make a prince? He was very sure that the second prince had absolutely no intention of inciting the prince of the hundred officials recently.
Because at this juncture, it is beneficial to the eldest prince to ask for the crown prince, the eldest prince has just gotten married, and he is in the limelight.
Shocked, Tang Ning immediately left the Nanshan camp and went straight to the capital, and there was no need to even find Jinyiwei to understand the situation.
Because the entire capital is about to explode, even the subordinates of Tangning's Mansion are familiar with what they can talk about.
So Tang Ning, who returned home, was here in the gatehouse, listening to the subordinates talk endlessly about the ins and outs of the whole thing.
A seven-rank petty official of Taifu Temple detonated this turmoil? Tang Ning's heart was full of suspicions, which was probably related to the eldest prince.
No, not very likely, but definitely!
Thinking of the fact that the eldest prince wanted to marry Rong Xuan in every possible way, it is even more provable.
If the eldest prince really married Rong Xuan, and then provoked a storm in Lichu, how many civil officials should support it?
It's scary to think about! In other words, this turmoil must have been planned by the eldest prince a long time ago.
After learning about the situation in Beijing now, Tang Ning's heart was a little heavy, because the situation was not optimistic.
It is worthy of the great prince's deliberate planning, and the effect is remarkable and very successful. Because it was indeed time to establish a prince, the people on the side of the eldest prince took the lead and immediately guided the direction of the wind.
And things are still fermenting further, more and more officials are writing to the emperor to suggest the establishment of a prince, and the limelight of the eldest prince's big wedding has won the most support.
Half of the officials who wrote the proposal to establish a prince supported the establishment of the prince as the prince, and half of them were only pure suggestions for the establishment of the prince. And there are almost no people who support the establishment of the second prince as the prince, anyway, Tang Ning has never heard of it.
Tang Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, he also felt that the second prince had a greater chance of winning, but now it seems that this buddy is too weak, right?
No, it can't be! Tang Ning can be sure that the second prince definitely has more brains than the eldest prince, although the eldest prince occupies the position of the eldest son, but the second prince will definitely not be oppressed to such a situation.
If this is the case, then the second prince simply stopped the idea of competing for the prince, why bother jumping out of the ring with the eldest prince?
Unless, the second prince stopped the officials of his own faction from writing to support him as the crown prince.
This is a little interesting, the eldest prince provoked a storm and incited officials to make himself the crown prince, while the second prince stayed on the sidelines and watched coldly.
Is it full of confidence?
Not necessarily, because no one dares to say that they can guess the holy will.
The more Tang Ning thought about it, the more he felt that the second prince's move was really interesting.
Even if the second prince mobilizes his own people to support him, he is still at a disadvantage in this turmoil.
So, the second prince simply watched coldly.
Perhaps the emperor appreciates the great prince who is supported by so many officials, but perhaps this offends the emperor's rebellion.
No one can say for sure, since you can't compete for the crown prince in the race for the crown prince, then do your best in the other possibility.
Thinking about it carefully, Tang Ning really had a trace of admiration in his heart. Because in such a turmoil that detonated the government and the opposition and the capital, the second prince remained calm, and resolutely chose to stand by coldly, which required great courage.
Whether or not the think tank around the second prince gave the second prince advice, it is not easy to make this decision.
But in the final analysis, it still depends on the emperor's intentions, what the emperor thinks of this sudden outbreak of the Lichu turmoil, and who the emperor cares about more in his heart.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Tang Ning realized that he didn't seem to have much to do. Do you want to write against the appointment of the eldest prince as the prince?
He was also submerged in the ocean of the recital, and now he asks the crown prince to detonate the government and the opposition, and the recital can really be described as an ocean.
Tang Ning, who thought about it for a while, suddenly patted his head, he was really stupid, what was he doing here, wouldn't it be over if he went directly to the palace.
