The Qian family looked for the imperial history in the court to ask for the prince again, this time advocating the theory of the eldest son, Li Chengze wanted to establish a brother and was very unhappy, and he couldn't tell anyone if he held his stomach, but now the Qian family dares to die, but he is angry.

Let the secret guard check that this is the last time that the Qian family is determined to be Bo, Li Chengze looked at the file presented in the study, sighed, closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

Chang Ji bowed and took a slight step forward, "Your Majesty, Lord Ma and a few adults ask to see you." ”

"Let them in."

Li Chengze rolled up the file and put it in the drawer, and when he opened his eyes, he was already indifferent and cold.

"Your Majesty Kang'an."

"No need to be polite, do you have something important to do?"

"Your Majesty, we are here to inquire about the establishment of the crown prince, this matter should be decided as soon as possible, if it drags on for a long time, it will hinder the country, and it will also shake people's hearts and shake the officials."

Master Ma, Ma's father, is now becoming an important minister, with Ma Yuan's full assistance and guidance, Master Ma is already very perceptive and hard-working, and has become more and more capable in recent years.

"Then who does Ma Aiqing think is more suitable among my sons? Or that the qualifications are slightly better and worth cultivating. ”

Li Chengze's face was indifferent, he couldn't see any emotions clearly, and even his eyes were calm, he had been on the throne for many years, and he was no longer the teenager who was seen through his mind back then.

Master Ma pinched his chin and thought about it, "The eldest prince has a more stable personality and is stable;

The second prince is a good learner and is expected to become a famous artist;

The third prince and the fourth prince are more intelligent and worth cultivating, but their mother's background is too low, and the power of the maternal family is too weak, and if there are other princes who choose, I am afraid that the hundred officials will not agree;

The five princes and the six princes are descendants, the five princes are the most talented, I often hear the eldest brother talk about the five princes, saying that his qualifications are the highest among several princes, and his personality is also the most transparent and steady, and he can bear hardships and perseverance. It is worth the emperor's hard work to cultivate it, and the future can be expected;

The sixth prince, I heard that he was born with divine power, I think it is suitable to be a general, fight tiger brothers, and go into battle with father and son;

In the end, it is Brother Lian, the seventh prince, he can be excluded, he is too young, and there are two brothers in front of him, I think it is enough to teach Haosheng as an assistant to King Xian.

This is a little foolish opinion of the old minister, and I hope that the emperor will forgive the sin. ”

The Ma family was extremely cunning, he didn't say anything, he praised them one by one, but listened carefully and expressed his attitude very clearly, which made the emperor satisfied.

The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister thought that although it was a bit early, since there was already a call for the crown prince, it was better to set the name as soon as possible because of the situation. The minister thinks that the five princes mentioned by the queen mother are the most suitable candidates for the crown prince. ”

Another minister also spoke.

The emperor's face turned a little pale, "I still have to think about it, and many people in the court should be optimistic about the boss." ”

Sigh and don't know what to do.

"Is this?"

The other ministers were embarrassed and didn't know what to say, after all, he was the prince, and he couldn't be said to be too poorly qualified.

"It's better to take an assessment, the emperor decides what to test, when to take the test, let all the princes participate, whether it's good to compare it or not, you can see how it is."

Master Ma suddenly had an idea.

"That brother is a little younger, and the competition is not very fair."

Li Chengze thought about it and questioned it.

"If the fifth prince wins, there is no suspense, if you lose the competition, there is no shame, a few years is a reason that cannot be ignored, not to mention that the prince does not need to be a general, it is almost fine, and losing does not mean that it is very bad.

The level of martial arts that can fight and go to the battlefield is not the same thing. ”

Master Ma gave a reason, defeating the strong with the weak is the best proof, and there is no shame in losing, is there still a chance.

Li Chengze thought about it and thought that this was the truth, so he nodded and agreed.

"The ministers also think it's more appropriate, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's just to test the princes' knowledge and martial arts, whether they are beneficial or not, and they can't represent anything."

Another minister also smiled and said, it's a big deal not to admit anything, anyway, the decision is in your hands, you have the final say.

Li Chengze nodded with satisfaction.

After saying this, he began to talk about the affairs of the court, and the discussion was not finished until the afternoon, during which the queen asked people to send some spiritual porridge and side dishes to cushion the stomach.

After the discussion, Li Chengze did not return to Kunning Palace, he was not in a good mood, and he didn't want to go back because he had something in his heart, which affected Huilan's mood, so he took Chang Ji to the imperial garden to sit and relax.

I didn't sit for a while before I met the Qian family who came to ask for peace.

"The concubine greets the emperor."

"Get up."

Li Chengze glanced at her and nodded.

Qian got up and stepped forward to serve him a cup of tea, "Did the emperor just come out of the study, it was hard work, the concubine came to pick some pine needles, and planned to go back to make a little tea and entertain herself." ”

"Concubine Ai is so interested."

Li Chengze knocked on the table with his hand, and the tea cup was placed there without the intention of holding it up to drink.

"Do you want the emperor to go to my place for a cup of tea, Brother Yi hasn't seen his father for a few days, he has also made some progress in his homework recently, I'm afraid that he will report good news and not bad news, the emperor should take the school exam a few more times, hehe!"

Qian chatted with Li Chengze in a relaxed and homely tone, and I saw her talking to him in such a tone more than once in Huilan, and I didn't invite pets, but just asked for a chance to meet for the child.

Li Chengze glanced at her lightly, the color of today's clothes is also very light, the blue high-waisted skirt, and the jewelry is also frugal, but her temperament looks dull when she is dressed like this, and she is also older, but it highlights the slight trend, and there is not much beauty.

"Dong Shi Xiao Feng."

With a cold snort, he got up and pushed her away.

Huilan's ethereal temperament and youthful appearance have not changed, her eyes are clear, warm and smart, and her clothes are elegant and very beautiful.

Chang Ji shook his head slightly, if everyone could learn from the queen, she would not be crowned queen.

After a while, Chang Ji came back again, "The emperor told that the Qian family disrespected the queen and punished him for kneeling in the garden for an hour." ”

"Look, an hour is not less."

Chang Ji shook off the dust, rolled his eyes and left.

Qian's face was blue and red, and he had to kneel down to accept the punishment, but in his heart he blamed Li Chengze for being partial.

The little eunuch also sighed, you have to look at your age when you learn from the queen, you are not the age of cardamom season, you really look like a filial piety when you wear this.

Chang Ji caught up with Li Chengze, "Your Majesty, the Qian family is kneeling." ”

"Let her kneel, huh! The more I learn, the more I look like Zhou Ying, I really hate it, I chased it to the imperial garden, went to find out who leaked the news, and sent it to the cold palace. ”

Li Chengze is no longer the young man who was bullied back then, and now he is extremely vigilant about the people around the harem, and the Qian family has touched the teacup, and he is no longer touching it.
