Jiang Qiancheng's holy decree to succeed to the position of the crown prince of the East Palace was issued three days later, without any warning, a holy decree was directly delivered to the door of the Seven Princes' Mansion, Jiang Qiancheng accepted the holy decree without changing his face, and then sat alone in the study.

This matter also spread quickly throughout the imperial city within half an hour, and the subordinates sent by the palace to help move things to the East Palace were also waiting outside the Seven Kings' Mansion, waiting for Jiang Qiancheng's dispatch.

Fang Kui, who was fishing in the back garden of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, was shocked when he learned that Jiang Qiancheng succeeded to the throne of the crown prince of the East Palace, and he thought that the person who became the prince would be Jiang Qianbai!

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu sat next to Fang Kui with a serious expression: "I never thought that the last person to sit on the throne of the crown prince would be the Seventh Prince!" ”

"If I talked about this half a year ago, I'm afraid no one would believe it, but now it's just half a year, Jiang Qiancheng has changed from an unfavored and powerful prince to a prince, just like what is written in the play!"

"Yes, I don't know what His Majesty's intentions are in doing this."

Fang Kui smiled and shook the fishing rod: "I don't know what Your Majesty's intentions are, but I think that the Imperial City, which has been quiet for a month, is now about to set off a bloody storm again!" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu smiled: "Then let's wait and see what happens, the more times like this, the more we must protect ourselves!" ”

"That's right."

Not long after the emperor's decree was issued, many courtiers gathered outside the imperial study to see the emperor, but the emperor was not in the imperial study at this time, and he did not plan to see them.

The great eunuch stood in front of them, opened his throat and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, go back first, Your Majesty has made a decision on the matter of the prince, and the holy decree has been issued, and it will not change again, if there is any problem, just wait until tomorrow to talk about it!" ”

Those ministers were still talking, but the guards guarding the door of the imperial study were not there for them to see, although they were in a hurry, they did not dare to break into the imperial study directly.

At this time, the emperor was actually sitting and drinking tea in the queen's bedroom, and a eunuch came to tell him about the situation in the imperial study in real time.

The queen asked the palace maid to trim her nails, with a flat expression on her face: "I thought that Your Majesty would choose to let Jiang Qianbai succeed to the crown prince, but I didn't expect it to be Jiang Qiancheng." ”

"Is it Jiang Qiancheng bad?" The emperor smiled and said: "He has this ability, and he also has military merits, and he is the most suitable person to sit on the throne of the crown prince in the imperial city at present." What's more, Jiang Qianbai doesn't have the intention of being a prince, you know, and I don't want to force him. ”

"Are you unwilling to force him, or do you think Jiang Qiancheng is more suitable for that position than him!"

The emperor smiled and didn't answer the queen's words, but the queen knew what the answer in his heart was, she snorted, ignored the emperor, closed her eyes and recuperated a little.

The emperor said, "In the palace, you dare to throw your face in front of me." ”

The queen didn't speak, her eyes closed as if she hadn't heard anything.

The emperor sighed with a smile, and said: "Actually, you know very well in your heart that Jiang Qianbai is not willing to be the crown prince, and it is also very good for him to be a rich prince in the imperial city, why force him to do things he doesn't like?" ”

"I just think Jiang Qianbai is much better than Jiang Qiancheng, if he is the prince, he will be better than Jiang Qiancheng."

The emperor did not deny what the empress said, and also admitted that Jiang Qianbai was indeed very good, but some things could not be too forced, not to mention, Jiang Qiancheng's transaction with himself had already begun, so it could not be stopped halfway.

The great eunuch came to the emperor's palace and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers who gathered in front of the imperial study have left, you can go back." ”

"Got it."

The emperor got up and patted his wrinkled clothes: "Then the queen, I will go first." ”

The queen let out an "um" and didn't even look up at him.

The emperor was not angry, and left the queen's bedroom with people, but not long after the emperor left, the queen slowly opened her eyes, and the expression on her face was still unwilling, why should Jiang Qiancheng be the prince! Her Jiang Qianbai is obviously better!

So the queen left the palace, not to find Jiang Qiancheng, nor to find Jiang Qianbai, but to see Yue Qingming.

At that time, Yue Qingming was looking at the account book in the Mingyue Building, and when he learned that the queen actually came to see him, he was very shocked, and he dropped the account book and went directly to greet her.

"Qingming, this palace has something to say to you alone, let's arrange it."

"Yes."

The room is a separate room, and the outside is guarded by Ruyi himself, so that no one of them can approach.

Yue Qingming poured a cup of tea for the queen, and said in a calm tone: "Is the queen mother here for the fact that Jiang Qiancheng became the crown prince?" ”

"That's true," the queen said with a serious expression: "To be honest, this palace has always disliked Jiang Qiancheng, and it didn't approve of you being with him at the beginning, even now." ”

Yue Qingming smiled, she said: "Queen Mother, don't talk about the previous things, now that the things you are worried about have become a reality, it is useless to be angry, it is better to accept the reality directly." ”

The queen subconsciously frowned, her eyes full of displeasure: "Don't you think this matter is strange?" is good, why did Jiang Qiancheng become the prince? ”

"Jiang Qiancheng's ability is very strong, he also has the means to control the overall situation, and he has military merits, it is normal for His Majesty the Emperor to favor him, isn't it?"

"Yue Qingming, you are actually on the emperor's side this time!"

"I'm just standing on Jiang Qiancheng's side."

Yue Qingming sighed, and said: "Empress Niangniang, this is a transaction between His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Qiancheng, although I don't know what the process is, but this is the choice of the two of them." ”

The queen looked at her puzzled: "What do you mean by making a deal?" ”

"It means that we can't and can't manage their affairs."

“……”

This is the first time the queen has heard such an explanation, and she is a little surprised, but she can't immediately refute Yue Qingming.

What is the emperor's mind, she can't guess, she just feels very unwilling, her son who has been carefully cultivated for so long, in the end, is no better than a guy who has only been in the imperial city for less than half a year, and let him sit in the position of the prince openly, how can she not be angry?

Yue Qingming stretched out his hand and patted the back of the queen's hand, and said softly: "Queen Mother, we can't control this matter, let's see what they have to do." ”

"You're so relieved?"

"I have always believed in Jiang Qiancheng, and he will not let me down and worry."
