Who do you think I should appoint as the prince?

Emperor Xuanhe threw out a sentence lightly, and his gaze fell fixedly on the faces of the three princes.

Pingguo Gong was in charge of the border army, Wei Guogong was the secretary of the military department, and Yasukuni was in charge of the Shenwu Army. The three of them are the humerus ministers of Great Chu and the mainstay of the Great Chu generals. It has great influence on the court.

If the Son of Heaven wants to establish a prince, who will the three of them promote?

Ping Guogong's face was solemn, and he replied: "The establishment of the prince is a major event of the country, and the emperor is sage, and he has already made a decision in his heart." The last general is a military general, who only knows how to lead the troops to fight, how dare he speak falsely! ”

Wei Guogong also said with a straight face: "All the princes, each has its own strengths. Whichever prince the emperor wants to appoint as the prince, the ministers will fully support the emperor's decision. ”

The Duke of Yasukuni replied respectfully: "What the Duke of Pingguo said is exactly what the old minister thinks in his heart. ”

These three old foxes! Full of loyalty and patriotism, slippery and slippery, there is no real word.

Cheng Jinrong in the corner smiled in his heart.

Of course, it's the same with another official here. The matter of Lichu is biased in his heart, and he can't show it on his face.

Emperor Xuanhe is not so easy to fool, his eyes swept away, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no one else here, only me and you." I want to hear some truth from you, and don't deal with me with these vain words. ”

"Ping Guogong, you speak first. Among the princes, who do you think is the most suitable? ”

……

Look at Emperor Xuanhe's posture, if you don't ask an answer today, you will never give up.

Ping Guogong pondered it for a while, and said slowly: "Lichu is nothing more than a long and virtuous person!" ”

"If the emperor wants to be long, he should make a great prince. If the emperor wants to establish a successor, he should be the second prince or the sixth prince. If the emperor intends to establish a virtuous person, it depends on which prince is the most outstanding in literature and martial arts. ”

Finally, it was not so broad, and said the eldest prince, the second prince, and the sixth prince. However, the sleek and sophisticated Ping Guogong added Lixian as an option.

Emperor Xuanhe neither occupied nor occupied the eldest son back then, and was appointed as the prince because of the preference of the first emperor. The Son of Heaven is biased, and the officials are touting it vigorously, which can be regarded as "virtuous".

Cheng Jinrong secretly praised in his heart, Ping Guogong's response was really leaky! is worthy of being the chief general of Jane's border army in the heart of the emperor!

Emperor Xuanhe looked unpredictable, he didn't know if he was going to say it, and asked Wei Guogong again: "Wei Guogong, in your opinion, which prince is the most suitable?" Without waiting for Wei Guogong to play Tai Chi, he said with a calm face: "I want to listen to the truth!" ”

Telling the "truth" in front of the Son of Heaven is something that only a fool would do.

Wei Guogong has been in the court for many years, and his shrewdness and old way are still better than Pingguo Gong, and he opened his mouth to respond: "The emperor wants to hear the truth, and Weichen has the courage to express his heart." ”

"The son is precious to the mother, and among the princes, the second prince and the sixth prince are the most respectful. The second prince has already married and has children, and has been in the court for more than two years. I haven't done anything great, but I haven't made any big mistakes......"

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes were slightly cold: "So, do you think I should set up a second prince?" ”

Wei Guogong has been paying attention to the changes in Emperor Xuanhe's complexion, and in an instant, a trace of regret passed through his heart.

The second prince really lost his sacred heart completely. He deliberately opened his mouth to probe, and Emperor Xuanhe didn't even have the patience to listen, so he interrupted him.

That's it! Son-in-law, I have spoken for you today, and I can count you as well.

Compared with a group of military generals, Wei Guogong is more like a court politician. immediately changed the tone: "The old minister hasn't finished talking yet." Although the second prince is a descendant, he is older than the sixth prince. However, the establishment of the reserve is a major event of the country. The old minister thought that the second prince did not have the courage to be a prince. ”

"Please also ask the emperor to choose another virtuous prince as the prince!"

Emperor Xuanhe's expression eased slightly, he didn't say anything, and looked at the Duke of Jingguo again: "Duke Jingguo, come on, which prince do you think is the most suitable?" ”

In a short period of time, a series of thoughts flashed through the heart of the Yasukuni Gong.

The Ye family has a side branch daughter who marries the eldest prince as a side concubine. It's nothing, though. The niece of the princess of Pingguo is the princess of the eldest prince, and I have not seen the prince of Pingguo speak for the eldest prince.

Which prince to appoint as the prince, in the final analysis, depends on the holy will of the Sacred Heart.

The mind of the Son of Heaven is not difficult to guess. Emperor Xuanhe summoned the three of them to meet today, saying that he was "discussing the prince", which was nothing more than wanting to carry the six princes out through the mouths of the three of them.

The Duke of Yasukuni quickly figured out the mystery and opened his mouth to say: "The old minister thinks that the six princes can be the princes!" ”

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, but he said lightly: "The eldest prince and the second prince are all married and have children, and the fourth prince and the fifth prince are also adults. Although Xiaoliu is intelligent and generous, he is too young. ”

The Duke of Pingguo, the Duke of Weiguo, and the Duke of Yasukuni invariably sighed in their hearts.

Look, Emperor Xuanhe's heart is biased, it's like lice on a bald top, it's clear.

Other princes do not boast a word, and when they mention the six princes, they are "intelligent" and "generous". The only drawback is that I am young.

Ping Guogong immediately took over the conversation: "The emperor is prosperous in the spring and autumn period, and it doesn't hurt if the six princes are younger." The young man has not yet been finalized, and the emperor can personally teach an excellent prince. This is the blessing of the hundred officials of Great Chu and the blessing of all the people. ”

"What Ping Guogong said is extremely true." Now that he has figured out Emperor Xuanhe's intentions, Wei Guogong has nothing to hesitate about, so he opened his mouth to praise the six princes: "The six princes are young and intelligent, and they know ten when they hear it." The most rare thing is that he is generous-hearted, loyal and filial. The emperor appointed the six princes as the princes, and the ministers will be happy and convinced. ”

Yasukuni didn't talk much when it was fair, but it was a witty remark when he patted the dragon's farts of the Son of Heaven: "In the past, I didn't see how outstanding the six princes were, but since the six princes served the pen and ink by the emperor's side, they have become better and better day by day." It can be seen that the emperor taught it well. ”

Emperor Xuanhe finally laughed: "I summoned you here today, it was the private gossip of the monarch and ministers. I have heard what you say. However, I still have to think carefully. ”

After a pause, he commanded: "Don't spread today's events." If there is any rumor, I will ask for you. ”

The three grandfathers of the country received their orders together, but they each sighed in their hearts and secretly slandered themselves.

The prelude to the saint is right, and it involves the establishment of the prince, who will spread such things indiscriminately?

Emperor Xuanhe specially told such a sentence, which was clearly to borrow their mouths to release the rumors.

The princes of the Three Kingdoms first built momentum for the six princes. When the voice of the prince begins to be established in the court, there will be discerning courtiers who will try their best to advocate the advantages of the six princes, and the six princes will naturally become the candidates for the prince "strongly recommended" by the ministers.

At that time, Emperor Xuanhe can reluctantly say, "Since all the Aiqing have elected the six princes, I will consider setting up the six princes"!
