Chapter 174: This is a lesson
This is the ancestral teaching! "But father, women can't enter the barracks, this is ancestral training!" The five princes are still unwilling.
"Even if it is Zu Xun, but the human heart is alive, as long as it can help Da Chu win, even if it is a woman entering the military camp, so what?"
Seeing that the faces of the five princes and the thirteen princes were flushed and wanted to refute, the emperor flicked the sleeves of his robe violently.
"In short, this time Lao Qi did the right thing! Lin Liang has also made great contributions, and I will definitely reward them well. You two, step down for me first!"
Before the two wanted to say anything more, the emperor's personal eunuch had already walked in and waved at the two.
"Two highnesses, please go outside, Your Majesty should be resting now."
Seeing that the emperor had turned around, it was obvious that he didn't want to continue talking to them, so the fifth prince and the thirteenth prince followed the eunuch indignantly and walked out of the gate of the Qiankun Palace.
Duan Ling himself has a high prestige in the military camp, plus this time he won a big victory against the Moon Worship Kingdom, and among all the generals in the court, he is even more of a god-like existence.
Besides, the previous prince didn't know who was behind him giving him some bad ideas.
Duan Ling had already been entrusted with the heavy responsibility of the emperor, but he still ran to the palace this time, counting all kinds of Duan Ling's mistakes.
The most excessive thing was that the people who arranged the assassination of Duan Ling were actually caught by Duan Ling and sent to the emperor.
In the end, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore and directly deprived Duan Chenxuan of the position of crown prince.
Now he has become an idle prince and spends his days in the mansion.
After a while, when the crown prince now entered another round of competition, Duan Ling's voice in the court was already the highest among all the adult or soon-to-be-adult princes.
In a flash, a few days passed.
Above the court, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the civil and military officials below, and their faces were red because of the princes they supported.
However, among the princes below who were obviously already a little uneasy, Duan Ling really looked the calmer one.
In addition, he has a lot of supporters of military generals, so when General Wang, a respected military general in the court, proposed that the candidate for the crown prince he supported was Duan Ling, the military attachés below who had already been impatient for a long time seconded the proposal.
At this moment, the number of people who supported Duan Ling far exceeded that of several other adult princes.
Now that the wood has been completed, the emperor has simply given the order.
"Duan Ling, the seventh prince, has both ability and political integrity, and Wen Taowuluo is also the best among the princes, so he was canonized as the crown prince."
As soon as this news was announced, the faces of the other princes suddenly became extremely ugly.
Especially before, in order to compete for the crown prince, the five princes and the thirteen princes have spent countless painstaking manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
"Your Majesty, now that the position of the crown prince has been decided, the arrangements of the other princes must have also belonged."
Another person who is very prestigious among the civil officials, Lord Zhang, stood up and said tremblingly.
"Nature." It's just that the competition between the five princes, the thirteenth prince, and the eleventh prince has already made the emperor unhappy, so on the surface, although the three of them were crowned kings.
However, within half a month, all the people were demoted to their fiefdoms.
Although it sounds good, the various fiefs are also hundreds of miles, but those lands are extremely barren.
What's more, from the capital city, which had everything in place, was relegated to a residence that he was not satisfied with before, the three princes could only grit their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
Duan Ling has now become the new crown prince of Da Chu, and is naturally sought after.
Half a month later, the envoy of the Moon Worship State, who had been quite embarrassed with Da Chu before, suddenly came to the capital and talked about the peace talks between the two countries.
"Your Majesty, now the envoys of the Moon Worship Kingdom are already waiting in the embassy, just waiting for Your Majesty to receive you." The confidant father-in-law came to report respectfully.
"It's just right, I'm having some free time today, so please come over."
The emperor put down the fold in his hand, and in the magnificent Zichen Palace, he received the envoys from the Moon Worship Kingdom this time.
"The envoy of the Moon Worship Kingdom is weak, see Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live. ”
"The envoy is invited to get up quickly, this time the envoy came all the way over, and it was too hard to travel all the way."
"Your Majesty is really too polite, this involves peace between the two countries, and Your Majesty of our country also attaches great importance to it."
This envoy from the Moon Worship Kingdom was ordered to send an envoy to Da Chu this time, but he came with the task given to him by the Emperor of the Moon Worship Country.
"I'm a little ashamed that the envoys came from afar, and I didn't greet them in person. It's just that when it comes to the matter of peace talks between the two countries, I don't know, what does His Majesty of the Moon Worship Country think in his heart now? ”
The emperor was still sitting on the dragon throne, and the envoys below were standing, but they also showed a look of neither humility nor arrogance.
"Your Majesty, this is exactly the purpose of Zixu's visit."
"Oh, would you like to hear about it?"
"Now the two countries have been fighting each other for a short time, and they are both slightly damaged. His Majesty did not want to have such an embarrassing relationship with Da Chu, so he specially sent Wei Chen to sue for peace with Da Chu, and was willing to marry with a princess. ”
"What did you say?" The emperor was somewhat surprised.
If before this, a few outstanding princes had not been demoted to their respective fiefdoms, then it would be nothing.
But now that people have gone hundreds of miles away, the adult prince in the capital, if he has not yet married a wife and is very good, he really can't pick it out.
The only one Duan Ling has already married Lin Liang, and the relationship between the two is still good, so the object of this marriage is really difficult.
The emperor smiled soothingly: "I don't know, which prince does the emperor of the Moon Worship Kingdom want the princess to marry?" ”
"Of course, it is now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dachu, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely good at Taowu, and the three princes of our dynasty were defeated under the prince, and His Majesty of our country is full of praise for the prince."
"The seventh is indeed an excellent one." Hearing the other party praise his son, the emperor was also quite proud.
"But presumably the envoy also knows that Lao Qi had already married a regular wife as early as a month ago, if it is said to be a marriage, I am afraid that the candidate is not suitable."
It is not unreasonable for the emperor to say this, after all, it is the princess of the Moon Worship Country, and since she has been married, she must be allowed to be a wife.
But Lin Liang has already come, is it possible to become a princess of the Moon Worship Country, and let the family give up the position of his wife?
Speaking of which, I'm afraid that the Lin family and the Chen family will not agree to be the first.
