As soon as Chu Yan said this, the hall was in an uproar.

No one expected that Chu Yan was this request, including Gu Qingyan, who was standing steadily in the court.

He turned his head and glanced at Chu Yan in surprise, and saw that his face was calm, his tone was calm, and his eyes were as calm as the surface of a lake, obviously this reward was not his whim, nor did it seem like a test of the emperor, but he really wanted it.

He was thoughtful.

The courtiers were shocked, although they all knew that the Seventh Prince and the Great Prince had a good relationship, but they didn't expect that the Seventh Prince would use such a great credit to ask His Majesty to release the Great Prince. Isn't it good to seal the king's fief? Isn't it good to let the emperor make her the prince of the East Palace?

For a while, the courtiers didn't know how to praise Chu Yan.

I thought that the royal family had no brotherhood, but now it seems that it is not true, but I didn't expect that this brotherhood was embodied in Chu Yan, the seventh prince who was the most indifferent and indifferent to people, which was an eye-opener.

Everyone looked at the emperor and waited for the emperor to see what he said.

The emperor was also stunned, not only stunned, but also confused, he looked at Chu Yan, his face changed for a while, and he was speechless.

In the silence of the hall, everyone was thinking about what happened after the case of the eldest prince's private weapon-making.

After the case of the eldest prince's private weaponry, the emperor was furious, and immediately ordered someone to detain the eldest prince, arrested all the people suspected of the private weapons case, and wanted to kill the eldest prince, and only a few sporadic people among the courtiers dared to intercede for the eldest prince, and they were all pushed out by the emperor in a hurry to hit the board.

It was the first time that the courtiers saw the queen change her dignity and desperately protect the eldest prince, just for the eldest prince's upbringing under his knees.

In the end, the emperor changed his mind, the eldest prince could be exempted from the death penalty, but the living crime was inescapable, and he was not killed, but he was imprisoned.

Overnight, the eldest prince disappeared into the court, and no one in the capital dared to mention the name of the eldest prince Chu Xian.

The case of privately made weapons back then was His Majesty's reverse scale, and in the past three years, in front of the emperor, he couldn't mention it.

Now, three years have passed, but I didn't expect Chu Yan to mention it in the court today. Looking at Chu Yan's calm and calm appearance, it was really embarrassing.

"He committed a capital crime." The emperor said in a deep voice, "I didn't kill him back then, and I'm very kind. ”

Chu Yan looked at the emperor calmly, "The weapons supervisor of the imperial court is indeed old and backward, and if he has not rebuilt his weapons for many years, how can he talk about strengthening the army and strengthening the army?" Now three years have passed, the eldest brother knows the crime, and the son does not ask for a reward, only asks the father to release the eldest brother, and then he has the reward of the son, and hopes that the father will approve it. ”

It is well known that the emperor did not approve the rebuilding of the ordnance superintendent, but even so, no one said it as openly as Chu Yan.

The emperor's face sank, "Rebuilding the Ordnance Prison is a big deal, how can it be easily transformed?" I have also been thinking about it, but he has privately built an arsenal and disregarded the law of the country! ”

Chu Yan was expressionless, "Now that three years have passed, can my father think about how to rebuild the ordnance prison?" If it has already been considered, it is better to release the eldest brother of the emperor, after all, he has experience, let him atone for his sins. ”

The emperor was silent.

He didn't think about rebuilding the ordnance supervisor at all, the king of Nanyang's millions of soldiers and horses are already so powerful, if the weapons are rebuilt again, then can he still hold it down? It's just that he didn't expect that three years have passed, and although the ordnance prison has not been rebuilt, he can't suppress the momentum of the Nanyang army, because Nanyang has an An Huajin, which is very backbone-resistant.

"Please let my father release the eldest brother!" Seeing that the emperor was silent, Chu Yan asked for advice again.

The courtiers glanced at each other, since the Seven Princes said that they would release the Great Prince, when would they show their loyalty if they did not show their loyalty at this time? He said he would do as he pleased. So, one, two, three...... The courtiers all came forward one after another.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

“……”

In a short time, more than half of them came forward to second.

The emperor sat firmly on the golden chair, his eyes swept around, and fell on Gu Qingyan, who was not moving, he did not second, he opened his mouth to ask, "Huai'an, what is your opinion?" ”

Gu Qingyan stepped out of the queue and arched his hand, "Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Seventh and Your Highness have a deep brotherhood, it's been three years, Your Highness must have already repented, since this is the case, Your Majesty might as well follow what His Royal Highness the Seventh said, and enlarge the prince to come out to atone for his sins." ”

The emperor lowered his eyelids, "Just according to what Aiqing said." ”

Chu Yan said calmly, "Thank you, father!" ”

The courtiers immediately shouted in unison, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

So, this early dynasty, this major event was decided, and the eldest prince was imprisoned for three years, and the ban was finally lifted.

After the early dynasty, the emperor issued a decree to pardon the crime of the eldest prince's private weapon making case, and released the forbidden place, and for a while, there was an uproar in Beijing.

How big the private weapons case was back then, everyone still remembers it vividly, and they all thought that the eldest prince's life was over, but they didn't expect that today, three years later, His Royal Highness the Seventh Dynasty asked for a decree and exchanged the freedom of the eldest prince for his own contribution to quelling the chaos.

This news rolled out of the Jinluan Palace, out of the capital, and in all directions like snowflakes.

Even the three princes who were implicated in the Zhang Zaifu case were shocked for a long time in the mansion and didn't come back to their senses, and it took him a while before he turned his head and asked the people around him, "Chu Yan asked for merit in exchange for Chu Xian's exit from the forbidden place?" ”

"Back to the Third Highness, that's the case, it was in the early court, and now it's spread all over the outside, and the villain has inquired, it's true."

The third prince, Chu Yu, sneered, "What is Chu Yan doing?" Before the crown prince was in hand, did he release a Chu Xian who competed with him for the throne? ”

The people around me couldn't answer.

Chu Yu sneered, threw a piece of spice into the incense burner, and stopped talking.

After the early dynasty, many people surrounded Chu Yan, which was nothing more than the flattery and praise of His Royal Highness Seventh Highness Gu Nian siblings' noble character.

Although Chu Yan was not very enthusiastic about the courtiers surrounding him, he did not ignore people, as before, looking for the usual.

The courtiers even looked at Chu Yan differently, thinking that His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness had ups and downs, he did not give up on himself when he was at a low point, and he was not arrogant after his recovery, without Chu Lan's comparison, he couldn't feel how good Chu Yan was before, but now with Chu Lan's comparison for a few months, he really thinks that His Royal Highness the Seventh is good.

After greeting everyone, the emperor sent someone to send a message and asked Chu Yan to go to the south study, and everyone dispersed.

When Chu Yan came to the south study, the emperor had changed into court clothes and sat in casual clothes, and when he saw Chu Yan coming, he stared at him tightly, "I ask you, why did you want to let Chu Xian out?" ”

Chu Yan straightened up and said calmly, "No, Erchen just thinks that the eldest brother didn't do anything wrong back then, but anyone who thinks about the people of the world is not wrong." The weapons of Da Chu are aging and rusty, and the father also asked the soldiers to use the old weapons of more than 20 years ago, how many soldiers died under the weapons, how many wives were separated, these are all the people of Da Chu, and the battle of Yuxueling was a lesson. It's been eight years, and the father hasn't ordered the transformation of the ordnance prison? ”

"Are you teaching me a lesson?"

If it was before, Chu Yan would naturally say, "Erchen doesn't dare", but now it's not before, he looked directly at the emperor, "Father asked Erchen the reason, and Erchen has already said it, this is Erchen's reason." The eldest emperor's brother has the heart to love the nurses and soldiers and the people, and the sons naturally can't let him be imprisoned by his father for the rest of his life. ”

The emperor sneered, "Chu Yan, if you want to be a big position, a qualified emperor, you shouldn't care about any brotherhood before you stabilize your position." ”

Chu Yan's gaze was indifferent, "Does my father think that everyone likes the chair under you?" If the eldest brother liked it, he wouldn't have made a weapon case back then, and how could he not be caught by you without a trace? But he did. If the retainer likes the chair under you, on the day of the palace banquet, he will listen to your arrangement. ”

The emperor said angrily, "Okay, all of you are not uncommon, so why did you kill the people sent by Chu Lan and them?" Why don't you die on Mount Wufeng yourself? You're not rare, they're rare. ”

Chu Yan's face was expressionless, "Not rare doesn't mean you don't want it, and rare doesn't mean you can get it." Erchen is not a man who sits idly by. My father likes the eighth brother so much, why did you order him to be removed from his position and placed under house arrest? ”

The emperor choked.

In the past, Chu Yan often spoke badly in front of him, but he would not contradict him so ruthlessly. Now in his eyes, it can be seen that there is no such father as him, of course, Chu Lan wants someone to kill Chu Yan, and he gave it, which is also a reason.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and seemed to have unloaded his strength, "I will make you the crown prince, but Chu Yan, I tell you that your surname is Chu, not An." ”

Chu Yan sneered in his heart, "Erchen is very clear. ”

If his surname was An, maybe it would be fine, and he wouldn't call this person who helped another son kill his son as Father. The blood and bones were cleaned, and unless they turned to ashes, they would never be able to get rid of this surname for the rest of their lives.
