Li Xiaoran used her tired body to slowly fall asleep, in the dream, she dreamed of seeing the person, who was holding a Ming saber and wearing a hat, waiting for her on a bridge.

In the palace, the lights are still bright, most of the concubines in the harem are asleep, and only the palace maids and eunuchs of the various divisions are busy working.

In the Fengtian Palace, a group of ministers sat in the middle of the court, chattering about something, and some officials were so angry that they seemed to roll up their sleeves and start to move.

And the person sitting on the Jinluan Palace, although he was dressed in white, could not hide his imperial majesty, he supported his head with his hands, and looked around at the courtiers.

He could clearly see that the officials of the DPRK and China were divided into three forces. A group of people followed Prime Minister Yu Wenchen to discuss, and another group of people, followed by Li Qiankun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and a group of people, they did not move at all, standing in the court, insisting on their own ideas, this is the conservative in the court.

He waved slowly with his right hand, and after Zhao Gonggong saw it, he immediately said to the people in the court: "Everyone, silence!" ”

"I wonder how the conversation went, ministers?" It was the man sitting on the Jinluan Hall who spoke, he was the lord of a country in the Ming Kingdom, Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of the Ming Dynasty.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks." A sonorous voice came, and a minister standing at the end walked to the front of the hall, and the officials in front of him detoured to a way forward.

"I hope that it will not cause war in the future, it is not good for the people, and it is not good for my Ming country!" The man spoke in a very official tone, and the tone and attitude of his speech showed that he did not approve of this view.

"Okay! A secretary of the ministry dares to mention it to me, don't you have so many first-class officials who don't speak?! Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of the Ming Dynasty looked around at the "dazed" crowd with angry eyes.

At this time, no one stood up and said, and no one supported or opposed, Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of Ming Cheng smiled after seeing this scene, and then said:

"Then do as you say, Yang Wen."

Yang Wen is the name of the official department of Shangshu, and the official department is the official position of the second grade, and once again no one came forward to impeach him.

"Since this matter is so finalized, then who do you say I should pass on this princely taste?" Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of the Ming Dynasty deliberately asked this sentence, the purpose of which was to find an heir, and the other purpose was to quickly grasp the party of the East Palace, so as to support the crown prince to ascend to the throne and make the court an embattled situation.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?" There was always someone to speak, and he was just chosen.

"After all, this is related to the affairs of the DPRK and China, I dare not say anything, if I discuss it with the ministers, I will read it." Yu Wenzhen knew that if the name of a prince broke out at this time, then this prince would be "finished".

"Don't be clever with me, I'll answer since I ask you, since the prime minister doesn't want to answer, then what about you Li Qiankun!" The problem returned to Li Qiankun's hands, and Li Qiankun decided not to do anything, and directly said the name that he thought could inherit the throne.

"I think the most suitable for the throne are the second prince and the fourth prince." Li Qiankun didn't dare to just say one name, if he really wanted to do that, it would not be a small matter that could be solved in one or two sentences.

"The second prince and the fourth prince? Both of them are very good, and I am very pleased, but if the two brothers are picking out one of them to be the prince, it is really a bit difficult to choose! Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of Ming Cheng was also entangled, he wanted to ask Gonggong Zhao beside him, but after thinking about it, forget it.

"The second prince, Xuanyuan Qinghe, has been studying in the country since he was a child, and he has been familiar with literature and ink since he was a child, and after the age of six, he also learned to use swords and guns, and now he can be regarded as a master." Li Qiankun commented on the second prince like this.

"Since Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War said that the second prince has been introduced, then I will introduce you to the fourth prince. The fourth prince Xuanyuan Qingfeng has mostly the same experience as the second prince since he was a child, but in terms of martial arts, he is estimated to be a little stronger than the second prince, and the second prince Xuanyuan Qingfeng also has experience in fighting and has also been to the front line! ”

The explanations of the two adults were instantly divided into two camps, one side supported the second prince Xuanyuan Qinghe, and the other side also supported the fourth prince Xuanyuan Qingfeng. The conservatives, represented by Yang Wen, remained unmoved, as if they had never participated in this discussion.

Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of Ming Cheng rubbed his eyes and sighed, although there were confidants and ministers who were worried about state affairs and civil affairs. But their gangs and factions are engaged in it, and the whole court is in a miasma.

Xuanyuan Jingchengcheng thought at this moment: It's too tired to be an emperor, not only can't he rest, but there are reports from all over the country every day, and there are so many problems to solve, and his heart is too tired.

"They all have different opinions, how do you think you can give the two of them a chance to compete fairly?" Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of the Ming Dynasty wanted to find a way to choose a better position to inherit the prince.

"Then it's better to hold a competition, and give them the corresponding test without their knowledge, and then the winner will be crowned the king." Prime Minister Yu Wenchen slowly stepped forward and spoke before mentioning this.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that we will tell the two princes directly to this competition, let them know that this is a competition, this is a competition, but they don't know what the content is, what do Your Majesty and the ministers think?"

At this time, as a conservative minister, Yang Wen stood up and spoke. In fact, the purpose of what he said was to choose a real heir for the Ming Kingdom, a person who was really useful to the Ming Kingdom, not the kind of "crooked melon and cracked dates." ”

Yang Wen's proposal really hit Xuanyuan Jingcheng's heart, he thought this idea was good, so he opened his mouth and said to the ministers:

"I think Yang Wen's proposal is good, I will adopt it, I don't know what you think!"

"The ministers obey the emperor's holy decree!"

"The ministers obey the emperor's holy decree!"

As soon as the minister shouted, Xuanyuan Jingcheng decided to make an order, he turned his head and said the content of the decree to Zhao Gonggong, and asked Zhao Gonggong to replace him as a conveyor.

After Zhao Gonggong listened, the dust in his hand waved, and suddenly all the ministers in the Fengtian Hall quieted down, and this silence was completed in only an instant.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, Zhaori.

In the spirit of serving the country and the people, I am now assessing the two sons, and those who pass the assessment. Then obtained the throne, and the title of the prince, live in the East Palace, in between, the six departments to cooperate, the division must also act in unison, now the matter is handed over to the prime minister Yu Wen, the military department of the secretary Li Qiankun, the ministry of the secretary Yang Wen three people, there must be no mistake, the decree. ”

"For the minister's decree, long live my emperor, long live long live!" This call decided the fate of the two princes in the future.

After retiring from the evening court, all the officials went back to rest, Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of the Ming Dynasty, still sitting in the imperial study to correct the folds, after seeing a fold, he suddenly laughed, and it was the kind of presumptuous laughter, the kind of laughter that tears came out.

Because there is another sentence on the fold, the content of that sentence is: "The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and the words of Zhu Yan are flowery." ”
