The title of Earl Dingning is neither high nor low, and there is no hereditary lineage, although the second assistant and others are surprised, it is not unacceptable.

Originally, seeing Emperor Long Cheng's attention to Wen Huai, and Wen Lang succeeded Wen Huai first, they thought that the emperor had a high and hereditary title, so Wen Lang naturally became the son.

Don't think that Wen Lang is still embarrassed to be a prince in his thirties, it is not uncommon for a prince in his forties and fifties to be among the nobles.

Emperor Longcheng set up a private banquet to entertain Wen Huai and others, and instructed the Ministry of Rites to rush out of Dingningbo's gold book and other things as soon as possible.

Wen Huai's return to Beijing was shocking enough, after all, everyone firmly believed that Wen Huai had died outside a long time ago.

Wen Huai's knighthood made many people jealous.

They forgot that Wen Huai had been away for more than 20 years, experienced life and death, and was condemned as a chore when the envoy was made, and no one was willing to give up the glory and wealth of the capital to go to the land of the Northern Barbarians, and they only saw Wen Huai sealing Ningbo.

Emperor Longcheng had a very strict control over the titles of courtiers, and easily did not award titles.

Many generals are staring at the title, and there are some families who have had titles on their ancestors, and they are unwilling to let Wen Huai snatch the title of knighthood.

The imperial historians received the hint and wrote to make statements, imploring Emperor Longcheng to withdraw the holy decree.

However, the imperial historians did not ask for any benefits, and were scolded back by Li Zhan, the king of Wei!

Yesterday, Li Zhan squeezed into the private banquet prepared by Emperor Long Cheng for Wen Huai's family, Wen Lang stared at Li Zhan like a thief, Li Zhan was stunned and didn't find a chance to get close to Wen.

Li Zhan was furious, and carried a wine jug to drink with Wen Lang, obviously intending to get Wen Lang drunk and save Wen Lang from adding to the chaos.

The amount of alcohol of these two people is half a catty to eight taels, and some of them have kung fu to eliminate the smell of alcohol, and after the empty wine jars are piled up around them, Li Zhan got drunk first.

Wen Lang shook as if it wasn't his head, "It's small, it's even more drunk...... You...... Not one. ”

Bang, Wen Lang was also drunk.

Emperor Long Cheng held his forehead again, leaving Wen Lang and Li Zhan, the two drunkards, to spend the night in the palace.

Before dawn, Emperor Long Cheng asked Li Zhan to wake up with cold water, ordered Li Zhan to go to the early court today, and solved the matter of the imperial historians' opposition to the knighthood.

Li Zhan went to court with a stomach full of anger, Wen Lang could continue to sleep, and he had to help Wen Huai solve the trouble of being knighted.

He wasn't happy!

Who is Emperor Long Cheng's own son?!

As a result, the imperial historians thoroughly comprehended the poisonous tongue of King Wei, and he hated many imperial histories.

They read more than King Wei, but they can talk nonsense, and they can't talk about Li Zhan when they turn black and white upside down, and they are caught by Li Zhan when they go around and around, don't think about turning the tables.

Su Shoufu occasionally raised his eyes to glance at Li Zhan, and then continued to be silent.

His people, King Wu's people, and the nobles and ministers all came forward to support Yushi, and they couldn't resist Li Zhan's words.

"Ding Ningbo brought back a lot of secrets, if it is announced to the public, when the dynasty will make contributions, the Northern Barbarians will have a precaution, and it will be unfavorable for the Northern Barbarians to use troops in the future."

Li Zhan raised his hand and casually pointed at a few officials with the most opposition and said: "You are questioning Ding Ningbo's loyalty to his father and his merits to the imperial court, do you suspect that your father is confused, or are you inquiring about the Northern Barbarians?"

Recently, the lord took the Jinyi guard to arrest the Northern Barbarian spies, and found a lot of high-ranking nobles, it seems that the lord has to let the Jinyi guard touch your details. ”

Courtier: "......"

Most of them retreated back, thinking that King Wei was messing around and unlucky, and he couldn't do his errand.

But King Wei really found out a lot of spies, and also copied several households, and was found out by Jinyiwei, can there be good fruits to eat?

The most honest and fair officials may not be able to hold up.

No one is a moral saint, there is always something wrong with them.

What's more, those who stand up against it are not so clean!

The crime of snooping on state secrets is very serious, and they have to weigh whether it is worth risking the lives of their entire family just to prevent Wen Huai from being knighted.

Li Zhan took advantage of the victory to pursue, his eyes were faint, and he could see that the military generals of Wenchen were furious.

"Are you looking forward to Aunt Anyang's bad life in Beiban, or because Wen Huai returned to Beijing, the Beiban Khan killed the eldest princess of Anyang in a fit of anger, and then let his father send the princess over again?"

“……”

The courtiers shook their heads again and again, everyone knew that the eldest princess of Anyang was Emperor Long Cheng's heart disease.

Emperor Long Cheng was tolerant of courtiers, not a strong emperor, once it came to the eldest princess of Anyang, Emperor Long Cheng immediately transformed, although Emperor Long Cheng was not in control, there were Wu Wang and others who shared the imperial power.

He went out to execute a few talkative officials, and Su Shoufu and others couldn't stop them at all.

"Aunt Anyang invited herself to kiss back then, and her father was reluctant to give up the royal sister and sister, once Aunt Anyang ...... It is not necessary to select a suitable woman from the noble mansion of the clan to replace Aunt Anyang. ”

The princes and nobles of the clan did not dare to oppose anymore, although they did not lack daughters, and they did not even care about the life and death of their daughters, but they were afraid that the name of their relatives would fall on their heads.

After all, the iron law of Taizu of this dynasty is still there!

They weren't the first emperors!

Li Zhan sneered disdainfully, arrogant to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but he was slightly relieved in his heart.

Exhausted!

I was shocked too!

Li Zhan didn't expect that there would be so many people who opposed it!

It is said that he is unlucky, he thinks that Wen Lang is the biggest unlucky ghost, and no one wants to see Wen Lang get benefits.

If Wen Huai hadn't succeeded Wen Lang, it wouldn't be too difficult to seal Ning Bo.

"Your Majesty." Su Shoufu said calmly: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is neat, and he has a meritorious role in arresting spies, and the old minister listens to what King Wei says, distinguishing between right and wrong, and he has grown a lot recently." ”

Emperor Long Cheng nodded: "Li Zhan really impressed me, he used to be a little more careful, and if he did his errands seriously, he could still do a good job." ”

At this time, Emperor Long Cheng suppressed Li Zhan too much, and it seemed too fake and hypocritical.

The courtiers and the princes suspected the deep meaning of Emperor Long Cheng, they were all read history books, they were all scheming people, and the princes were also familiar with the routines such as shielding arrows.

In some dynasties, the most fierce princes did not have a good result, but the low-key and indisputable princes had the last laugh.

If you don't fight, you fight!

Emperor Long Cheng said: "After this little rabbit was crowned king, he was much more stable, and recently I saw that he was no longer unlucky everywhere, and the talisman blessing given to him by the national teacher was still useful." ”

Li Zhan pouted, the national teacher is useless, but the warmth is useful.

"The minister thought that the princes were only good at learning, strong ability, had been studying before, and had not been involved in too much government affairs, after the minister saw His Royal Highness the King of Wei, he wanted to talk to His Majesty, and the princes were crowned kings, and went to the six ministries to rotate and watch the government."

Su Shoufu said: "The eldest son of the emperor should also come back from the Taimiao, and since Ding Ningbo has brought back a lot of news from the Northern Barbarians, His Majesty should also summon His Royal Highness King Wu to discuss one or two and consider it carefully." ”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, you set the prince earlier, and crown many princes as kings, so that the subjects can rest assured. The prince is respected, the kings are assisted, and the courtiers are self-denying and dedicated, which is the way to long-term peace and stability. ”

Su Shoufu lifted his official robe and knelt down, "The ministers are in this statement, there is absolutely no selfishness, I hope that Your Majesty's father and son will be together, and the princes and brothers will work together, otherwise His Royal Highness the prince will see that King Wei is contributing to the emperor, and seeing that he is in charge of the brocade guard first, and then he will take back Ding Ningbo, the princes are afraid that they will be very anxious, anxious to serve the emperor, and let His Majesty see that they are not weaker than King Wei." ”

"The sage said, the widow suffers from the uneven, His Majesty is the monarch's father, it is okay to focus on the prince, and it may not be a good thing to favor the King of Wei too much."

Emperor Long Cheng stared at Su Shoufu for a long time and smiled: "Well said, it's hard for Su Qing to think about it thoroughly, I should be a bowl of water for the prince, since Li Zhan is sealed, the rest of the adult princes should also be crowned kings."

It's just the crown prince...... I want to hear your opinions, the establishment of a prince is a family affair and a state affair, but all officials of the fifth rank and the official position of the sixth rank can be given to my uncle. ”

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate." Su Shoufu objected.

"What's wrong? The crown prince is not the capital of the country? Six-grade officials are not officials? Or can Su Shoufu decide which of my sons to be the crown prince instead of them? ”

“……”

Su Shoufu's body trembled, "The ministers don't dare to replace any officials, they are Your Majesty's officials, they are the officials of the people, Your Majesty is suspicious of the ministers forming a party, and the ministers are begging for bones." ”

"Don't take off your hat."

Emperor Long Cheng stood up from the dragon chair, his fat body trembling slightly, "I said a few words to Su Qing, and you immediately begged for bones, is it child's play for you to trust me?"

I asked you to be the first assistant, that is, to let you command hundreds of officials, Su Qing has worked hard for many years, recruiting talents for me, and a public heart, who dares to say that you are a party?

I have been with you for more than 20 years, and I have known you since I was the crown prince, and you have been kind to me, I remember, and I also hope that our pair of monarchs and ministers can become a good story. ”

"The minister is guilty." Su Shoufu didn't dare to take off his official hat anymore.

"It's a big thing to be guilty, but it's true that there's a mistake."

Emperor Long Cheng walked down the steps, gasped for a while, looked very tired and tired, pressed Su Shoufu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I told you that the minister does not doubt the king, and the king does not doubt the minister." I have never doubted Su Qing, I have never been, I can't support it for a few years, I want to choose a prince who is recognized by the world.

Su Qing promised me. ”

"Obey."

Su Shoufu felt the strength of Emperor Long Cheng's hand, and the heat came from his shoulder, and he said respectfully: "The six-rank official can be appointed as a prince on the excerpt, and the minister will let the counts and send the excerpt to His Majesty's Imperial Review." ”

Emperor Long Cheng smiled with satisfaction: "I heard that the people of Jingcheng City have said that many concubines can be matched for the throne, the queen has been with me for many years, she has never given birth to a prince, it has always been my heart disease, if the queen has a son, I will not be so troublesome."

After all, I remember how Su Qing and others fought for me, the eldest son, and my mother and queen were outstanding with the Bai family, which touched the mind of the first emperor and the martial king. ”

"The emperor can't say that-" Su Shoufu was nervous that he hadn't had for many years.

"What can't be said about this?"

Li Zhan added a few words coldly: "Why does Su Shoufu pretend to be confused? Father and Emperor trust you, and you also supported your father back then, the Manchu Dynasty knew that the first emperor was partial to King Wu, and this is the case, the first emperor was afraid that King Wu would be hated by his father, and left him with a lot of people.

I heard that the first emperor once told Su Shoufu, who was kind to his father, to take care of King Wu. ”

Su Shoufu glared at Li Zhan angrily, "Spread gossip and slander the people of the first emperor should be beheaded." ”

"That's right, when killed, indeed killed." Li Zhan smiled: "Ye heard it from your precious grandson, I wonder if Su Shoufu can be ruthless?" ”

Su Shoufu: "......"
