In the Taihe Palace, a man in a dragon robe is sitting on the dragon chair.

He was in his forties, and some of his hair was gray, though he was slightly old.

But from that heroic spirit, it is not difficult to see that he must have been handsome and extraordinary when he was young.

The whole face was a little tired, but a majesty emanated from the body, which was impossible to ignore.

He is the contemporary emperor of the Chu State, Chu Batian.

Emperor Chu's face was majestic, and his fierce gaze swept over the many civil and military officials in the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to start."

At this time, Liu Wenbin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing at the front, stood up.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play. Chu Taizu's merits were high, and he kept a safe side in the troubled times and established the Chu State. A month later was the day when Chu Taizu established the Chu State for two hundred years.

According to the etiquette, the ancestor worship ceremony should be held, and the ancestor worship ceremony needs to be prepared in advance. I would like to ask Your Majesty to give an order. ”

"The ancestor worship ceremony is a major event in the Chu State. This matter will be handed over to Aiqing. Prepare everything for the sacrifice. Don't make mistakes. ”

The majestic voice of Emperor Chu on the dragon chair came out.

"Wechen obeys."

Liu Wenbin saluted and stood back in place.

At this moment, the voice of the samurai outside the Taihe Hall came.

"Report, the second prince has returned triumphantly and is already waiting outside the palace."

Hearing this, there was also some commotion in the temple at this moment.

The civil and military officials looked at the figures standing in front of them.

The crown prince Chu Zheng was dressed in a four-clawed reckless dragon robe, and the whole person revealed a mature temperament.

Standing in front of him expressionless, no one could guess what he was thinking.

The third prince, Chu Dao, was also standing in front, but his body exuded a cold aura.

Sun Fu, the right minister, looks to be in his sixties, and the wrinkles on his face are all connected into a line.

At the moment, his eyes are closed, as if he is asleep. He is also the only person seated in the entire hall.

Wang Yuanshan, the left minister, is slightly younger than the right minister, but he is also full of white hair, and he doesn't say a word.

It's just that at this moment, his eyes seem to have a bright light.

There was still a vacant seat in the entire front row, and no one dared to stand there even if no one was there.

At this moment, Emperor Chu spoke.

"Okay, let the second prince in."

The second prince had already changed out of his black civilian clothes at this moment.

It is also a reckless dragon robe.

He walked straight to the front of the vacant spot.

Then salute the emperor.

"Meet my father. Erchen did not fail in his mission, and it took half a year to wipe out the small warball country Wu Shi on the southern border.

The other six countries have already submitted a letter of surrender, expressing their willingness to make offerings every year. This is their national letter. ”

The second prince took a few national letters from his arms, and the little eunuch standing beside Emperor Chu understood and hurriedly took the national letters.

Emperor Chu swept slightly, and there was a rare smile on his face.

"Okay, worthy of Wu'er. In recent years, small countries such as Wushi have dared to provoke our dynasty. Today, my son has done a great job. ”

No matter what the ministers below thought, they also congratulated one after another.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Second Prince."

At this time, Zhou Chengming, the secretary of the military department, stood up, and he bowed down to Emperor Chu.

"The second prince is brave, this is the pillar of the country, according to the law of Chu. The second prince should be rewarded. ”

After saying this, at this moment, Emperor Chu looked at the second prince below.

"My son, you have done such a great thing. I don't know what to do with you. What do you want? Raise as much as you like. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, you must know that you have no jokes. If the second prince asks for the abolition of the crown prince, this is ......

For a while, the prince's faction was shocked into a cold sweat, and from time to time they looked at the prince's reaction.

The crown prince still hasn't changed at the moment, he knows that the second prince still can't shake his position just by virtue of his military exploits this time.

His status as a prince is there, and no one can influence him no matter what, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake.

The third prince was a little excited in his heart, and he knew in his heart that the second prince would not make a request to abolish the crown prince.

But what if!

As long as the second prince proposes, he has a seventy percent grasp of that position.

Emperor Chu didn't care about the reactions of the people below, he looked at the second prince below.

"It is the responsibility of the sons and daughters to share the worries of their father. The retainers asked for nothing. ”

The second prince then bowed again.

Emperor Chu was very satisfied with the performance of the second prince. He then spoke: "You have no jokes. Wu'er has made such a great achievement, I have already spoken, how can I take it back. I'll keep this request for you. ”

Now the crown prince could no longer maintain his original composure, his face changed, and an uncertain request was like a sword hanging above his head.

As long as it falls, it is a fatal blow. Now he couldn't see his father's thoughts.

Could it be that his father had the idea of abolishing him?

The prince made a gesture in the secret place.

The people of the prince's faction immediately reacted.

A five-rank official stood up and knelt down.

He shouted, "Your Majesty. Although the second prince has made meritorious contributions, he should be rewarded according to his merits. But a promise to reward His Majesty the Emperor.

Such a reward has never been given since the establishment of our dynasty. I hope that Your Majesty will think twice and take back your fate. ”

At this moment, many officials stood up, not only from the prince's faction, but also from the three princes.

The third prince was also a little worried about this promise.

A quarter of the entire court knelt down.

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice and take back your life."

As for the few people in front of them, they still stood there motionless.

Emperor Chu looked at the people kneeling in the court, his temptation was to see what was going on with this court faction, and he was also shocked at first glance.

But there was nothing he could do, after all, this was how he got his throne.

was surprised, but Emperor Chu looked angry on the surface.

He said angrily, "Can't I even be this master? The head of the household or the book of the Ministry of Rites, or you will be the master. ”

Originally, the old god was there, and the Household Department and the Ministry of Rites who stood aside and didn't speak.

Suddenly sweat broke out on the top of his head, and he knelt down, with a sad expression on his face, and his voice was hoarse.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare. Your Majesty's will is the Holy Will. ”

The two of them have been officials for many years, and Emperor Chu didn't mention it to others, but singled out the two of them who didn't say anything.

They were thinking in their hearts. Why did Emperor Chu ask these people who had not spoken?

Could it be that they stood in line and caused Emperor Chu to be dissatisfied, so he deliberately beat them.

In this way, the second prince is definitely the biggest winner today, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts.

In fact, they don't want to stand in line too early, but not standing in line means falling behind.

That seat is set, and they won't be much better.

It will definitely be liquidated in the later stage.

At this moment, the originally lively court seemed to be a lot quieter.

Those who did not stand in line looked at their noses and noses one by one.

The people of the second prince are gloating in their hearts one by one.

Emperor Chu's angry expression gradually retracted at this time, and he said kindly to the ministers below: "Then do you have no opinions?" ”

Although the tone was kind, the chill made the ministers present frightened.

Everyone knelt down in unison, and said in unison, "Obey Your Majesty's will." ”
