Naturally, if this is the case, he can only sigh with emotion, Yi Bin is afraid that he doesn't think that a man should take a child at all. After Wanyin left, Lan Yi asked the nurse to take Rong Huan down, and said to Wei Changjue very solemnly: "Even a gentleman like Yi Bin, Wei Changze is under his command, what does he want to do?" ”

Wei Changjue said lightly: "He wants to be the crown prince, but whoever is heading for the Yu Palace, he will not refuse, anyway, the Yu Palace's wealth is rich, even if he feasts and drinks every day, he can hold on." ”

Lan Yi whispered, "Then what should we do?" If this prince is decided, it will not be easy to change it. ”

"So, we must not let this matter be settled." Wei Changjue said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, as time went by, Wei Changze's ambition became more and more obvious. He gathered all kinds of useful and useless people in one place, and discussed the matter of proposing the foundation of the country, and the emperor received some rumors from him, but he only watched coldly, and did not interfere or order it to stop.

Such a move undoubtedly gave Wei Changze confidence, and even made him complacent, originally those ministers discussed the matter of mentioning the country when the New Year was approaching, so taking advantage of the Spring Festival in front of the eyes, even if the emperor was unhappy, he would not be angry and angry in front of everyone, but Wei Changze was in a hurry, and he only felt that the position of the prince was already in the bag, so why delay so much.

So under his order, at the end of September, those ministers came to the table one after another, asking the emperor to appoint a prince for the great plan of the country.

At that time, in the court, several ministers Zhenzhen had words, saying that the prince did not stand, and the court was difficult to stabilize, and brought out the country's society, taking history as a mirror, and told several examples of turmoil caused by not establishing a prince.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at the crowd below without expression, he was accustomed to being so unpredictable, the ministers did not know his joy and anger, they would be afraid, and do things with fear, even if they were selfish, they did not dare to go too far.

He listened to the impassioned speeches of the ministers, occasionally changing postures and sitting, waiting for the hall to be completely quiet before asking, "Who else has something to say?" ”

The ministers were silent.

The emperor said, "You're all done, so let's talk about it." The importance of the country, all the Aiqing understand, I also understand, although I always think that I am young and strong, and I can't get to this point, but seeing you so urgent, I realized that in your hearts, I am old. ”

His tone was very flat, as if he was just talking about something commonplace, but the ministers panicked, knelt down and said, "The ministers don't dare." ”

Some people also said: "The emperor is in his prime, and he is in the prime of life!" ”

The emperor was too lazy to listen to this kind of inflammatory, and asked directly: "Establish a prince, okay, then set up, you can also talk about it, which son of me is more suitable to be the prince?" ”

There was silence below, no one dared to be the first bird, and in the end, Wei Changze turned his head slightly, and quietly glared at Master Yi, before he knocked his head on the ground and said, "The minister is playing, and the minister recommends His Royal Highness King Yu." His Royal Highness King Yu has been conscientious these days, caring for the people, quite a virtuous king, and is the best choice for the crown prince. ”

Some people got up, and the others finally came alive and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." His Royal Highness King Yu sleeps at night, loyal and diligent. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

……

Many ministers spoke, and Wei Changyuan, the highest-ranking among the princes, may not have noticed that his hands were quietly clenched into fists.

I knew that the fourth brother was tossing this matter by jumping up and down recently, but I didn't expect that these ministers were really enough, and when they saw whoever was in power, they would lean on whom, many of them had been in the Qi Palace.

The anger in his heart was beyond measure, Wei Changyuan raised his head slightly, and inadvertently glanced at Wei Changjue, obviously he was also deeply trapped in the whirlpool of seizing the heir, the third child seemed very calm, and there was not even a superfluous expression on his face.

The ministers came prepared, and naturally recommended Wei Changze, and occasionally elected the king of Qi, saying that the king of Qi had been walking in the court for many years, and he was very handy in handling government affairs, and he was expected by everyone. As for those who leaned towards Prince Gong's Mansion, they didn't say anything at all this time.

The emperor sat on it as steadily as Mount Tai, and could see everyone's small movements, and naturally he could see clearly who belonged to what "faction".

There is nothing wrong with supporting the prince, all dynasties and dynasties, when the prince can be in charge of his own adulthood, such a situation will occur, the problem is that there must be a degree here, no matter what kind of noble minister, if there is only the prince and no emperor in his eyes, it will be messed up.

After a fierce recommendation, the court slowly returned to quiet.

"Everyone recommends Chang Ze, and some people think Chang Yuan is good, and I also see what they do. Nagasawa. Only then did the emperor speak up, watched Wei Changze kneel down, and asked calmly, "What do you think of so many ministers recommending you to be the crown prince?" ”

Wei Changze said: "Erchen thinks that the love of these ministers for Erchen is because Erchen has made some achievements these days, and Erchen is indeed doing things for the people of Dashun, but the position of the prince should be decided by his father, and it doesn't matter what Erchen thinks." ”

"What if I like you?" The emperor asked.

There was a moment of froze in the air, and everyone held their breath. Wei Changyuan knelt there, thinking that the one he was going to kneel in the future might be this younger brother, and the unwillingness in his heart was so inflated that it was about to explode.

And Wei Changze was happy in his heart, feeling that this matter was almost stable, thinking that his father had always liked him the most to have something to say, so he straightened his spine and arched his hand: "If my father also belongs to his son, his son is willing to go to the soup and fire, serve the country and the people, and be a good prince." ”

The emperor smiled faintly, "It's not necessary to go to the soup and fire. "Suddenly changed the conversation and asked Chang Yuan, there are also some ministers who recommended you, do you and Chang Ze have the same idea?"

Wei Changyuan was stunned, saying that it was the same, and he became a picker, but it was different, how could he show his loyalty?

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Back to my father's words, my sons don't know." ”

"Don't know?"

Wei Changyuan frowned, very serious, "If you become the crown prince, your sons will feel that the burden on their shoulders is very heavy, and their behavior will be restricted, and maybe they will not know where to start with what they have done well." But Erchen will definitely be stricter with himself, and he will never dare to slack off, because there are more eyes staring at Erchen. ”

This is much more real than Wei Changze's, and this second son was raised a little more seriously, and the emperor also knew it, so he immediately raised his hand, "Let's calm down first." ”

Inexplicably, Wei Changze felt that his answer just now might not be as good as his brother's, but the wood was already in the boat, so he could only stand there and wait quietly for everything that followed.

The emperor also said: "I not only have two sons and four sons, but other princes should also discuss this matter, Changqi, you are the boss, you can say it first, who do you think is better to be the prince?" Or, if you feel that you are the best fit, you can also nominate yourself. ”

After Wei Changqi beat Gong Wangfu and was exposed that Wei Changjun's death was related to him, he was almost a man with his tail between his legs, and he didn't dare to participate in any struggle for fame and fortune at all, even his wife scolded him at home for being "useless", "not knowing how to operate", and "not looking like a man at all", he knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood to endure it, which would hear the emperor ask, and he was directly scared into a cold sweat, and immediately bent down deeply.

"Back to the father's words, the sons have no idea about the position of the crown prince, and they don't know who can do it, in short, the younger brothers are all good, either the second emperor brother, the third emperor brother, or the fourth emperor brother, they are all more useful than the sons, please choose your father!"

The emperor was helpless, but for the first time he smiled, "I know that you are generous and benevolent, and you are very tolerant of people, but I just asked you casually, so I don't need to be so nervous." Your brothers are all good, that's true, but you're not bad either, my sons are all taught by good gentlemen in the study, and they are all pillars of talent, and you must not be presumptuous. Changqi, although let go of the courage to say, who is the prince candidate in your heart. ”

"Yes, yes." Wei Changqi raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a bitter face, "Erchen respectfully obeys the teachings of his father. As for the selection of the crown prince...... Erchen really can't think of it, Erchen only knows that no matter which brother his father chooses, Erchen will be loyal to his father and the prince. ”

He didn't want to offend anyone when he died, so he could only insist, and the emperor was extra gentle to him, "Okay, I know, you are a good brother, you know how to be humble, and you haven't read books in vain for so many years." ”

Wei Changqi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed this level, and hurriedly said: "It is all taught by the father, so that the sons and daughters will remember it in their hearts, as your eldest son, the sons dare not have any thoughts that they should not have." ”

The Emperor bowed his head, "Get up and count down...... Changjue, you can tell me. ”

Wei Changjue, who has been in the center of the whirlpool, can only step forward calmly and arch his hand: "Back to my father's words, my sons think that the matter of the country does not need to be discussed so early, first, my father is in his prime, and second, the world is peaceful and the people are stable." ”

all know that the two sons of Wei Changjue and Ying Guifei are singing against each other, and it is normal to think about postponing the matter, but who knows that he will change his words and return to the previous question.

"But since you asked your son, you can't fail to answer. Erchen thinks that the world belongs to his father, and the crown prince is for the inheritance of the country, but it is also for his father to have a helper, so who is the position of the prince for, it is indeed up to you to have the final say. If you say that the bias in the heart of the sons and daughters, it is naturally the second emperor brother, the second emperor brother is calm, experienced in handling the court and politics, and there is a noble concubine Niangniang to guide from the side, whether it is the cotton clothes on the Wanshou Festival, or salt affairs and other major matters of people's livelihood, the two emperor brothers have done a satisfactory job. ”

The emperor squinted suddenly, and at first sat slightly crooked, but now he slowly sat up straight, and said, "Complete? ”
