There are several emperor's bedrooms in the harem, but the most famous is Funing Palace, because this Funing Palace was inhabited by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.

On the couch, a young king with a face as dead as ashes lay there like a gossamer.

The gray color of the hair is in great contrast with the young and thin face.

When Jiang Fu and Chai Shuxia walked into the hall, a strong smell of Chinese medicine greeted them, Jiang Fu sniffed lightly, although the expression was still the same, but there was a hint of gain and loss in his eyes.

Compared with Jiang Fu's strange expression, Chai Shuxia felt a little relieved at the moment, even if his face was still worried, but his pace was obviously much brisker.

"The old minister Jiang Fu knocks to see Your Majesty!"

"Uncle Chai, Uncle Xia, knock to see Your Majesty!"

The two walked to the couch, and after saluting, they waited tacitly aside.

After a while, Ye Yu on the royal couch took a breath with difficulty, slowly opened his cloudy eyes, and looked at the two with difficulty: "The two Qing families are here......

"Your Majesty, your dragon body ......" Chai Shuxia was the first to speak, and the concern on his face made people's hearts warm.

Ye Yu then waved his hand and said weakly: "The Mandate of Heaven is like this, the medicine stone is already ineffective, and my own Yangshou knows in my heart that it has already ...... Three years ago, I knew my life was near...... Ahem......"

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

"No...... Out of the way......"

Ye Yu struggled to slowly unfold the hand towel covering his mouth and nose, and the two of them saw that the white hand towel was actually red with blood.

"This ......" Jiang Fu, who was pestle in front of the couch at this time, didn't know what to say.

"Okay, while I still have a breath of air, or to set the position of the prince, is the theme of my summons to enter the palace tonight. The two of them are ministers of the imperial court, do you have any suggestions for the establishment of the prince? ”

At this time, in the sleeping room in the Funing Palace, many palace maids and servants were all evacuated, leaving only the three monarchs and ministers to discuss the matter of establishing the prince, so the originally quiet Funing Palace was even more stagnant.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister's presumptuous words, this has been a ritual since ancient times...... It is not to establish a concubine, and now His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the only descendant, so it is ...... Therefore, it should be inherited by the king of Chu. ”

When it comes to the matter of establishing the prince, Jiang Fu's tongue in front of Ye Yu has become a little unfavorable, and there is a sense of crampedness.

This is in stark contrast to his rivalry with the Jin King Chai Shuxia above the court.

And Jiang Fu has always felt very helpless about this sense of crampedness.

Although he is already over sixty years old, and he has already been in a detached state of mind after a long time, but since Ye Yu entered the office, Jiang Fu has been inexplicably stunned by Ye Yu.

This feeling of panic is becoming more and more obvious and serious as Ye Yu ascends to the peak of power step by step.

"King of Chu...... Bin Er ...... "Ye Yu was lying on his back on the couch, as if he was thinking about it, and he seemed to be considering, muttering to himself that he didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!"

Just as Ye Yu was muttering in his mouth, the silent Chai Shuxia opened his mouth appropriately.

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, if you are in a prosperous age, you should establish a descendant but not a concubine, followed by a long and not a young...... There is nothing wrong with this selection of those who will inherit the throne......"

Chai Shuxia first affirmed Jiang Fu's previous remarks, and then changed his words: "However, my Great Song Dynasty is now, externally, under the wise rule of His Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty is already a strong and proud country, but Your Majesty should also know that the border is still in flames!" ”

"Internally, Your Majesty's habitual statecraft, though controversial, is conducive to the eternal state policy, and such succession must be inherited by virtuous people in order to implement Your Majesty's ideas and improve them day by day......"

Chai Shuxia, who talked eloquently, did not directly propose the candidate he supported, but talked about the current situation inside and outside the court.

And this is also the cleverness of these words, which not only shows that he Chai Shuxia is dedicated to the public, but also expresses his wishes, and at the same time, this is also provoking the relationship between Jiang Fu and Ye Yu.

What kind of person is Jiang Fu, that is the head of the civil officials, and the teacher of the princes, although the position of the prince has been vacant, but the post of the prince has already been sealed.

A teacher's thoughts, to a large extent, will affect the student's lifelong thinking and values, so Jiang Fu will Chu King Zhao Bin as the prince, in addition to the little prince of Chu is the queen's concubine, whether there are other intentions is another matter.

And Chai Shuxia's seemingly unintentional words directly hit all the weaknesses, because Ye Yu's implementation of policies in recent years has invisibly suppressed civil officials, and even pulled the supremacy of Confucianism down from the altar.

This kind of policy of frequently suppressing literati, after Ye Yu's death, whether the successor can continue to implement it is an important factor that has to be considered.

Now Chai Shuxia's implication is nothing more than to say: The policies that you Ye Yu have worked so hard to promulgate and implement may be completely revoked and subverted by the successor recommended by Jiang Fu in the future.

Jiang Fu was secretly surprised on the side, and he was even more frightened when he was surprised, he felt that he should re-examine the Chai Shuxia in front of him at this moment.

Because before this, he didn't expect that this Chai Shuxia, who had been quiet, would be such a black-bellied character.

In just a few words, he not only refuted the King of Chu he promoted, but also made him expose his selfish suspicions in front of Ye Yu.

In such a contrast, the other party has become a loyal minister who worries about the country and the people for the society, and he has invisibly become a selfish traitor.

It's so dark, it's so dark, it's so fucking black!

Jiang Fu secretly scolded himself for underestimating Chai Shuxia's combat value before, and now he can see that this is the master who kills people without seeing blood.

"Your Majesty, the old minister ......"

Jiang Fu was about to explain something, but Ye Yu waved his hand to show that there was no need to say much, but his eyes fell on Chai Shuxia's body: "The prosperous era is long, and the troubled times are virtuous, and the emperor's uncle is not unreasonable." According to the emperor's uncle's opinion, among the four princes of mine, which one is the virtuous person in your mouth? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the princes are all young and undecided, and it is difficult for the ministers to see which prince has transcendent talents......" Chai Shuxia said, and then paused for a moment before saying, "But among the princes, the ministers think that His Royal Highness the King of Qi is quite wise!" ”

"Oh? Ahem, what does the imperial uncle think? ”

"Although King Jing is old, he is more than generous and not shrewd; Although King An is intelligent and transcendent, he has the style of His Majesty, but his mother is a Jurchen alien race, so King An has a foreign bloodline, and my Chinese blood must not be distorted, so ......"

Jiang Fu wanted to say that the King of Chu was not only a prince, but also intelligent, gentle and elegant, and more suitable to be the successor of the dynasty. But after Chai Shuxia's provocative words before, Jiang Fu was afraid that the misunderstanding between the monarch and the ministers would regenerate, so he began to have scruples and did not dare to say more.

Just when Jiang Fu was annoyed that he underestimated Chai Shuxia, which caused him to be passive everywhere now, Ye Yu suddenly said: "But I think the King of Chu is more suitable for some ......"

"This ......"
