Chapter 404: The Prince
"Your Majesty, Dr. Xu Yin, Minister's Shiqu Pavilion, there is something to do!" On the night banquet, the staggered plans, when the atmosphere inside and outside the hall became more and more enthusiastic, a minister rushed out from the end of the hall, approached Liu Yuan, and bowed.
Liu Yuan drank a lot of wine, his face was ruddy, he was on the rise, and he was obviously in a good mood. Although he didn't have any impression of this Dr. Shiquge, he still looked at him happily and waved his sleeves: "No courtesy, speak!"
Xu Yin's face was solemn, and he took a deep breath: "Daxia Dingzu Guanzhong is already five years old, and now the war has ended, the people's hearts are a little calm, Guanhe is quiet, and only the position of the East Palace is vacant." The canonization of the crown prince can not only relieve His Majesty's worries and labor, but also consolidate the foundation of our country, and boost my prestige, please Your Majesty! ”
The courtiers around Liu Yuan couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, and looked at Xu Yin, a bold person, and the court slowly quieted down. Everyone, with different expressions.
Many people's eyes flickered, observing Liu Yuan's expression, and subconsciously looked at several princes, and their eyes kept aiming at Liu Heng and Liu Yuan's brothers. The princes also straightened their backs uncomfortably, pricked up their ears, and looked at Liu Yuan, waiting for him to react.
With a smile on his face, Liu Yuan replied almost without thinking: "I have the auxiliary government of King Chen, King Zhou, and King Zheng, and they have been worrying about me for several years!" ”
"It is for this reason that Your Majesty should hasten to determine the position of the throne and the title as soon as possible, so that the kings may have their share and the hearts of their subjects may be appeased. If not, the princes will compete for the throne, disturbing the peace of the court, and chaos will be in the summer! Xu Yin was extremely bold this time to spread out the battle for the heir that had already emerged.
All the ministers in the palace couldn't help but look at Xu Yin with surprise on their faces, is this person really not afraid of death.
Hearing his words, Liu Yuan's face was a little unsightly, why did he, Liu Yuan, need this Confucian student to educate. With a cold face, he looked at Xu Yin with an almost sneer: "According to Dr. Xu's opinion, who should be the heir of the sons under my knees, is it appropriate?" ”
"The fifth prince Rui, born by the queen, is the eldest in the heir, the character is valuable, the son of heaven is intelligent, and he is filial piety, and he can be the heir!" didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction in Liu Yuan's tone, Xu Yin directly pushed out Liu Rui.
Liu Yuan glanced at Liu Rui, who was a little "surprised", and saw that the young man was a little uncomfortable. was nominated in front of the Manchu Dynasty Ministers, Liu Rui did not have much joy on his face, but was a little like sitting on pins and needles. This Xu Yin, who proposed this at Liu Yuan's birthday ceremony, was afraid that he was smart.
"What do you think Xu Yin's proposal is?" Liu Yuan's eyes were deep, he let go of his throat, and asked in a loud voice, his cold voice constantly echoing between the pillars of the empty hall.
There are really people with hepatitis B like Xu Yin, who are not afraid to speak out in support, and these people who pursue the elder system have always been "firm" in their hearts. Of course, more ministers are still silent and waiting for changes.
The proposal of establishing an heir, over the years, has been mentioned many times, Liu Yuan does not establish a prince for a day, these courtiers, some of them are patient with Liu Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Zhou's character is valuable and he can be the prince!" Probably because he couldn't see that Hanchen holding Liu Rui without a bottom line, saying that it was legal and reasonable to enter the East Palace, and finally someone raised objections.
It was Lan Zhe, who was a regular servant of the loose horse, and at the head of the ministers on the left side of the hall, the old Lan Zhi frowned and glanced at Lan Zhe.
There were those who supported Liu Jue, and soon Chen and Zheng Erwang were also nominated. A good birthday gradually evolved into a court meeting for the prince. The supporters of several princes, in front of Liu Yuan, fought for each other, slowly let go of their scruples and behaved "enthusiastically".
Seeing this, Liu Yuan slowly ascended the imperial steps, sat down, and looked coldly at the ministers who were staring at the arguing ministers in the hall. The sons looked pretty good, sitting quietly without squinting.
Of course, those who win the favor have to belong to those who are lowly and light, and the real ministers, even if they are biased in their hearts, they will not easily express their stance at this time. For example, the Wang Rou brothers sat steadily, without saying a word, and even their expressions could not be seen.
They all noticed the state of Liu Yuan's side, and faced Liu Yuan's cold eyes, and some of the people who were dancing couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Some conformists are worried and actively speak, but in order to sell well to the optimistic prince, if Liu Yuan is angered and remembered by him, then the career will not be good.
"Xu Yin!" The hall was surprisingly quiet, and after a while, Liu Yuan called coldly.
"The minister is here!" Xu Yin held his head high, without the slightest fear.
"You are a little doctor, the official is only six grades, and the rank is not more than five hundred, you dare to speak out and talk about the establishment of the prince, it is really beyond your strength. What messes me up, messes me up in the summer, what's your intention? Liu Yuan rebuked sharply.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Yinji bowed down and said quickly: "The East Palace is uncertain, the country is not solid, and the ministers are uneasy. The sons are fighting, and in the long run, the ministers are afraid that there will be a disaster of Xiao Wall, and Your Majesty must not take it lightly. ”
"Presumptuous!" Seeing this, Liu Yuan slapped the imperial case: "Come on, give this confusing person out!" ”
The courtiers in the palace, many people secretly sighed, this Xu Yinmo is not crazy, he dares to say anything, he really wants to die.
When the guards entered the hall, they couldn't help but say, and they took Xu Yin and went out of the hall. He still didn't give up, tilted his head, and called out the prince, which looked like an iron-clad minister.
The Weiyang Hall is still brightly lit, and the decoration is still so festive, but the atmosphere has become weird, and it is terrifyingly quiet, and the ministers dare not breathe hard. From the prince concubine to the minister, no one spoke, waiting for Liu Yuan to speak.
After a long time, Liu Yuan spoke again: "It's all about this, let's discuss the matter of establishing a reserve!" ”
As soon as Liu Yuan said this, the courtiers in the palace looked strange, looking left and right, looking at each other, didn't they hear it wrong? In the past, they all felt that Liu Yuan had no intention of establishing a prince, so he "worried about the country for his loyalty" and actively established an heir.
This time, Liu Yuan showed his intention to establish a prince in front of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but it made these people a little unaccustomed to it, and they all stopped and did not express their position. The more I care, the more I am concerned, and the more I dare not speak rashly.
"Why, isn't there a surge of emotions and controversy. Now, there's nothing to talk about? The weight of Liu Yuan's tone made some people tremble in their hearts and bury their heads.
"Lan Zhi, you are Zhongshu Ling, my Prime Minister of Great Xia. My sons, you can be regarded as having grown up, who do you think can be the prince? Liu Yuan began to roll call.
Lan Zhi was bent up, thinking in his capacity, he must support Liu Jue, but in this case, how dare he recommend Zhou. Facing Liu Yuan's sharp gaze, he lowered his head slightly, and said in an old voice: "Your Majesty is in his prime, and this matter is not in a hurry!" ”
But the ministers' remarks about establishing the East Palace are not unreasonable. If it is to consolidate the foundation of the country, to reassure the hearts of the subjects. The minister thinks that Chen Wangheng, Zhou Wangheng, Zheng Cheng, Dai Wangqi, and the five princes Rui can all be considered! Lan Zhi said slowly.
