There was a lot of quarrel in the court today, and the center of the topic was just whether to give the four princes the title of king.

Emperor Chu routinely finished the morning dynasty and was about to retreat from the court without incident, Yu Chengmian stood up: "Erchen has something to play." ”

"You say." Emperor Road.

"Some time ago, the southeast region was hit by a flood, and the four princes Cheng Yan made a lot of contributions to the disaster. Yu Chengmian's speech was very smooth.

"The fourth child did a good job, and he should be rewarded. What do you think? Emperor Chu pretended to ask the opinions of the ministers.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" The ministers said in unison.

"Then how does the prince think he should reward him?" Emperor Chu leisurely kicked the ball.

"Erchen knows that the four princes are noble and have the people in mind, and it is not an exaggeration to be crowned the king and give the mansion." Yu Chengmian's words aroused objections.

"I don't think so." The official secretary came out to raise objections, but he was afraid of offending the prince, so he could only say: "The four princes have made meritorious contributions to water control this time, and they should be rewarded, but if they are crowned kings, their merits are not enough, and I hope the emperor will think twice." ”

"The minister also feels." Tobe Shirou said.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Dali Temple Shaoqing Road.

"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not exceeded it, and the four princes should be crowned kings for their efforts to control the water." Wang De, the secretary of the Ministry of War, strongly supported his son-in-law, and the clear-eyed people in the court complained in their hearts about Wang De's naked partiality.

"Suxiang, what do you think?" Seeing that the ministers were divided into two factions, Emperor Chu simply consulted Su Wang's opinion.

Su Wang, who was named by Emperor Yu, shuddered, and hurriedly said: "The merits of the four princes, the emperor is wise, and he is free to decide." ”

it! Another old slippery head! Emperor Chu almost blurted out, but Su Wan is also a veteran of the two dynasties, a young talent, and it is also a matter of mixing in the court, since Su Wang said that he will decide by himself, then Emperor Chu will also speak: "I think that the four princes have made high merits, and they should be crowned kings and given mansions to comply with public opinion." ”

"Father (Emperor) is wise," even if the ministers were unconvinced, they could only grit their teeth and praise Emperor Shengming.

"Retreat!"

"The ministers are leaving."

Among the ministers who walked out of the main hall, some were happy and some were worried.

"Now I have to congratulate the four princes."

"That's it......"

Listening to these words of praise to Yu Chengxuan, the group of officials and Shangshu were not popular.

"Listen! Listen! What is this called? The official department Shangshu glared at the household servant and the young secretary of Dali Temple.

"To tell the truth, the situation in the DPRK and China is not conducive to the five princes." Shaoqing of Dali Temple said with emotion.

"So, why don't you stop the four princes from becoming kings?" The secretary is the uncle of the five princes, and he is very anxious about whether the five princes can inherit the unification.

"What did you say? Just now, the two of us tried our best to stop it. Tobe Shirou hurriedly clarified.

"The prince's party is becoming more and more powerful now, and we and the five princes have to be careful." Shaoqing of Dali Temple reminded reasonably.

"yes." After the Tobe servant sighed, several people walked towards the palace gate.

Yu Chengmian returned to the Prince's Mansion, and immediately found Wang Yanxian, who was accounting for the accounts, and said: "Xiao Qin! ”

Although Wang Xianxian was puzzled by Yu Chengmian's hurried appearance, she still saluted in an orderly manner: "The concubine is seeing His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Don't salute yet," Yu Chengmian helped Wang Xian up, "I have good news - Cheng Yun is going to be crowned king." ”

"The four princes want to be crowned kings?" Wang Xianxian felt that this matter was indeed worth rejoicing.

Yu Chengmian vaguely revealed his excited emotions and said: "My father is going to wash the dust for Cheng Yu in the Star Pavilion tonight, and it is also the time to announce that Cheng Cheng will be crowned king." ”

"Then ......" Wang Xianxian's words were interrupted by Yu Chengmian: "Xiaoqin, you have to pick up it, tonight, I want to go to the banquet with you." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Yanxian commanded.

When unitary, pick the star pavilion.

The lights light up the night, and the singing and dancing are leveled.

The royal family and several high-ranking ministers sat in rows, some concentrating on eating, some enjoying singing and dancing, and some looking at everyone.

Singing and dancing retreated, Emperor Chu said: "Today's night banquet is to reward the four princes for their meritorious service in flood control and disaster relief, everyone must eat and drink well." And one more thing—"

The shrill voice of the inner servant sounded: "The fourth prince Yu Chengxuan stepped forward to listen to the seal." ”

"The son is here." Yu Chengyun got up and knelt down.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: The fourth prince Yu Chengyun cherishes the people, has meritorious service in flood control and disaster relief, and specially gives the king of Shun and the mansion as a reward." The voice of the chamberlain resounded throughout the Star Picking Pavilion.

Yu Chengxuan listened to the muttering of the Five Princes, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and said, "Son-in-law, thank your father, Emperor Longen." ”

The chamberlain issued the holy decree prepared by Emperor Chu early to Yu Chengyun, and the smile on his face was especially flattering: "Our family congratulates His Royal Highness King Shun." ”

"My father-in-law is polite." Yu Chengxuan still looked gentle, and after receiving the holy decree and thanking him, he returned to his place and sat down.

Yu Chengxuan and Yu Chengmian looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses from afar, and drank them all.

The banquet lasted until the emperor dispersed, and the five princes and Yu Chenghui were very angry about Yu Chenghui's sealing of the king, so they couldn't give a good face and left with a stomach.

"Cheng Xuan." Yu Chengmian stopped Yu Chengxuan at the gate of the palace.

"Third brother, what's the matter?" Yu Chengxuan stopped and turned around.

Yu Chengmian's usual cold expression brought a smile: "Congratulations." ”

Yu Chengyun maintained a humble posture and said: "I heard that it was the third brother who asked for the reward for me, and I should have thanked the third brother." ”

Yu Chengmian smiled dotingly: "This is what you deserve, don't thank me." ”

"What the third brother says is what it is." The meaning in Yu Chengyun's words can be regarded as inheriting Yu Chengmian's words.

"Tomorrow at noon, Tie Xian Restaurant, Lone will talk to you again, look, okay?" Yu Chengmian's voice was not abig.

Yu Chengxuan replied warmly: "Yes, the third brother's invitation, how can I not go?" ”

"Then leave it here." Yu Cheng Miandao.

"See you tomorrow." Yu Chengxuan replied.

Then the two of them got into their respective carriages, and the wheels turned into the depths of the night.
