In fact, Gongsun Yan did not have the slightest joy in his heart, originally he was used to living an unrestrained life in Jiangnan, but in the capital, he not only felt a sense of crisis like a tiger, but also a very serious sense of oppression, he also cried that he lived a life completely under the observation of others.

Even in the courtyard arranged for him by the emperor, Gongsun Yan seemed extremely submissive in doing anything, because he knew that a pair of eyes were staring at him in any corner that he couldn't see.

As long as Gongsun Yan makes any misdeeds, there is a possibility of being in a different place anytime and anywhere.

Although the emperor is very fond of him now, Gongsun Yan also knows that it is because he still has the value of use, and he is also very aware that after the counties in the south of the Yangtze River are captured by the Wang family, his status in the capital will plummet, and there is no possibility of even getting out of this square city alive.

The Emperor took several deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, and in a way he wanted the effect like today.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the establishment of the prince to let him see how resolute the determination of these ministers really is, is undoubtedly the most labor-saving way.

In addition, this is also his best opportunity, Xing Tianze doesn't know when he will come back, if he can't maximize the benefits before this, the emperor will be even more passive in the future.

Just imagine, if Xing Tianze returns to the capital with the power of victory, even if he is the emperor, he must temporarily retreat.

In addition, the emperor discovered something through the eyeliner Enhai all over the capital, the Situ family, which has been silent for a long time, has been a little active recently, and even Situ Feng, who had not been moved by his three holy decrees before, did not know when he had actually gotten extremely close to Yin Pingzhen.

This is not good news for the emperor, the Yin family's attitude of supporting Xing Tianze has always been extremely clear, and now it is the moment when the wind is rising, no one can guarantee that the Situ family will not stretch out a hand to enter the game.

If the Situ family really joined Xing Tianze's camp, then he would definitely be like a tiger, and in the future, whether in the court or in the opposition, his prestige and voice would be much higher than that of him as the emperor.

"The emperor's top priority is to determine the candidate for the prince, if the fifth prince returns from the front line victoriously, things will become more difficult." Gongsun Yan had already read several copies of the recitals presented by different adults.

"I must know these things, but the position of the prince is too important, and all the princes under my knees are a group of unpopular goods, and I am really worried that I will really pass the throne to the fifth child after a hundred years." The Emperor closed his eyes deeply and leaned back in his chair.

Although he is old, he does not have any mediocrity, he has been an emperor for decades, he sees things more clearly than anyone else, what kind of person does Xingzhao need to be the prince at present, in fact, he knows better than anyone else in his heart.

The emperor's expectations for Xing Tianze are also very high, but he also has a very strong worry in his heart, if he dies, it is really the fifth prince who ascends the throne and becomes the emperor.

So the heir under his knees has become a threat to the fifth prince, how could Xing Tianze be such a smart person to allow such a thorn in his side to exist?

This is why the emperor has always wanted to get rid of Xing Tianze, and he is more concerned about his heirs than his siblings.

In fact, the emperor also did a lot of things for Xing Tianze before, such as letting him do any major things in the court, in turn to accumulate his prestige in the court and get the opportunity to exercise.

In addition, when Fuyang was in peace, the emperor did not choose to accept Tao Mingxi as his concubine, but gave it to Xing Tianze, not to let him go to the last strength, with a princess as a princess, there would be no minister in the court who would despise him, the fifth prince.

"The emperor and his ministers actually have an opinion." Gongsun Yan bowed respectfully before speaking: "Please forgive Weichen for his courage, although the prince in the court does not have many strengths, although the fourth prince Xing Gao does not have any experience in participating in politics, his literary talent is not comparable to ordinary people." ”

"You're talking about the fourth?" The emperor opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Gongsun Yan, and Mo Jian burst out with a fine light that was difficult to describe in words: "Although the fourth child is very insightful in poetry, after all, the affairs of the court and the middle of the court are not comparable to a few lines of poetry, and besides, he is now twenty years old, and he has no experience. ”

After the emperor said this, he took a deep look at Gongsun Yan, and immediately had a different opinion in his heart, it turned out that he was not as smart as he thought in his heart.

It is certain that the prince can easily see that the relationship between the courtiers and the prince is more intimate, and the emperor is not an ordinary person, and the eyeliner in his hand is all over the court and the opposition.

Among the ministers who support him, he also knows which people are under the guise of the prince, but he hasn't told anyone.

This can be regarded as the emperor's sorrow, since he ascended the throne and became the emperor, there is no one around him who can confide in the truth......

When it was late at night, Murong Yu did not fall asleep, but sat on a chair and looked at the flickering candles on the table, his eyes flashing with indescribable colors.

At this moment, the door of his room was gently pushed open from the outside, and Nangong Yuan was holding two wine glasses in one hand and a pot of wine in the other.

"The emperor hasn't rested so late?" Murong Yu stood up and gave him a proper salute.

"When did you and I have so much etiquette?" Nangong Yuan naturally put the wine and glass on the table: "The long night is long and I have no intention of sleeping, besides, there is no chaos on the front line and there is nothing to enjoy, it just so happens that you and I haven't sat together and drank for a long time." ”

"The emperor instructed Weichen not to disobey!" Murong Yu sat down on the chair respectfully.

Nangong Yuan slowly filled the two glasses with wine, and Murong Yu didn't take the initiative to say anything more, and now the two of them had nothing to say at will.

The room soon fell silent, except for the loud sound of the wind outside the window.

For a long time, Nangong Yuan took the initiative to speak: "It's not that Murong didn't support you in the affairs of the marshal's mansion before, but when the front-line battles inevitably let the generals charge into battle, I don't want to cool their hearts." ”

"What the emperor says is what it is, Weichen doesn't feel that he has been wronged, but the straightforward words of the generals that day made Weichen think about a lot of things." Murong Yu raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

"There is nothing wrong with what the generals said, Weichen was originally a general of Baiyue, and he was born in the country without any support." Murong Yu didn't care about Nangong Yuan's face at all.
