The next day, the ministers of the previous dynasty were excited to see the emperor who had been missing for a long time, plus Prince An and Prince Xiang, who returned to Beijing to thank him, also came to the court, and the hall greeted each other one after another, which was peaceful.

The emperor hid in the Wuying Hall every day to teach alchemy, and almost forgot that there was still a dynasty. Yesterday, Concubine Ji gave him a bronze seal, which is the legendary seal of Zhang Tianshi, and everything can be played to the heavenly court.

Concubine Ji has been with the emperor for many years, and it can even be said that she has watched the emperor grow up, where would she not know the point of pinching and talking? Taking advantage of the emperor's pleasure, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this French seal is a treasure that my father sent people to visit the north and south of the river. Tomorrow morning, you remember to reward him and give him a face in front of his ministers. ”

"Reward, reward!" The emperor looked at the talisman on the seal, and replied happily: "The Tianzhen Festival is coming, and it just so happens that the ministers are coming to thank you, and I have obtained such a treasure, I want to reward the old prince in front of the ministers!" ”

The matter of the emperor's last court was thus decided, and Concubine Ji was secretly relieved.

Today, it is not Guo Kuan who supports the emperor to go to court, but the original palm seal eunuch Cao Baoli.

Among the entire celebrants, Cao Baoli was most dissatisfied with the emperor only relying on Guo Kuan, and this time he saw that Ji Chuan introduced two Taoist chiefs to the emperor and brought the emperor into the "Tao", and he couldn't help but think about it. Cao Baoli pulled the eunuch Tian Jun and the eunuch Wu Dezhong in the hall, and as soon as the three of them discussed, they went to Jiuxiaoguan to invite the purple void Taoist who was known as the living immortal to the palace, and preached specifically for the emperor.

The Purple Void Daoist does have some Taoism, anyway, the emperor fell into the pit, and he refused to climb up. Cao Baoli, who introduced the head of the Purple Void Dao, is not far from the left and right, and the emperor is not going out now, nor is he going to the court, so Guo Kuan is naturally gradually neglected. Cao Baoli found an excuse and cleared out the courtiers who were not his own people from the emperor's side.

"Zhong Aiqing, tomorrow is the Begging Festival, three days off, everyone have a good rest. There will be a lantern festival tomorrow, young people can go to join in the fun, a blind date...... "It stands to reason that today is not a recital, the emperor has nothing to say, playing haha." He looked left and right, and everyone else was expressionless, and he saw King Duan smirking.

"King Duan, am I not right? What are you laughing at? The emperor asked.

"Back to my father, my son's son will get married in five days, and my son will naturally be happy!" Duan Wang replied with a smile.

The emperor had forgotten about this matter, but when King Duan mentioned it, he became interested again: "I remember, it was I who pointed out Cheng Yu's eldest girl to you!" Has your father-in-law come back from the border? ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares. I just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and after the handover of the guard today, the minister began a one-month rest. Cheng Yu stepped forward and said.

"Cheng Aiqing, it's hard for you! is at the border all year round, and after the girl gets married, it is not easy to meet. The emperor remembered that his eldest princess was married in the capital, and he couldn't see each other a few times a year, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

King Duan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Erchen will often take the princess home to visit his father-in-law in the future." The emperor nodded, thinking, my son is more sensible than a horse!

Ji Ruicheng took a look, no, the emperor finally went to court last time, why did he give you a homely meal? So I took a look.

Chen Ge Lao took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the country has been without a prince for a long time, in order to protect the foundation of the country and stabilize the dynasty, the old minister implores His Majesty to set up a prince as soon as possible and share the worries for the monarch!" ”

Guo Taibao also came out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal! For a while, the voices of the main hall seconded one after another. In the end, even Prince An and Prince Xiang also stood up and seconded the proposal.

King Kang was in a hurry, he didn't see Wang Man in the court today. Didn't you say that the East Factory solved Feng Guangcai last night, and this morning the dynasty announced that Zhang Yue would be the governor of the five armies? If he doesn't come, how can he cover himself!

King Kang had no choice but to set his sights on Cao Baoli, who was beside the emperor. Cao Baoli rolled his eyes and whispered beside the emperor: "The matter of establishing a prince will be long in the future." ”

The emperor just wanted to open his mouth, but Ji Guo said fairly: "Your Majesty, the establishment of a prince is a major matter related to the country and the court, how can you allow a minister to put his beak in it." The minister elected Xie Ruiqing, the fourth son of the emperor, as the crown prince of the current dynasty, please allow Your Majesty to play! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal! His Royal Highness is upright, diligent, and peaceful in the house, and now he has given birth to his eldest son, who has an heir and a long life, and is really the best candidate for the prince! Xu Taishi also started.

Cao Baoli was a little angry, relying on the emperor to be tolerant of himself, and he didn't wait to signal the emperor, and said directly: "The emperor is unwell today, and it is not easy to go to court reluctantly. What a sin you should be guilty of being aggressive and disturbing the Holy One! Saying that, I wanted to pull the emperor to retreat.

At this time, Jin Wuwei outside the main hall suddenly rushed in and surrounded the inside of the main hall, and before the emperor could react, Cao Baoli was shocked: "Do you want to rebel?!" ”

Cao Baoli had long seen that the situation was not right today, Wang Man, who was in charge of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, did not appear, and the holy decree of the governor of the five armies had been prepared, but there was no Wang Man, and he didn't know where to go...... He really regretted that he didn't stop the emperor from coming out to the court today.

In a hurry, he took out a golden pill and said, "Your Majesty, they don't allow you to retire from the court, but you have already taken the golden pill when the time comes." "There are psychedelic ingredients in this elixir, especially in the early days of taking the medicine, Cao Baoli wants to take the opportunity to bring the emperor back to Wuying Palace.

When the emperor saw that it was the pill he usually took, he didn't doubt it, so he stretched out his hand to take it. I saw a Jin Wuwei stretching his bow is an arrow, and the arrow flew past Cao Baoli's hand, just hitting the pill, and the arrow was inserted into the back of the dragon chair with the pill!

The people in the main hall were shocked into a cold sweat.

Himekawa: Which stinky boy is good at making claims? Archery is amazing, and you come here to show off? Lao Tzu didn't tell you to shoot the emperor!

Ji Ruicheng: Ji Chuan, can you tell me if you are a fine work sent by Wang Man?

The emperor's hand hung down, and he lost the spirit he had just now, as if he was frightened by the arrow, and as if he had lost the golden pill and could not replenish his vitality, the whole person was deflated. Cao Baoli knew that he couldn't get over this matter today, so he leaned into the emperor's ear and said: "Your Majesty, it's just to set up a prince, and you can settle accounts with them after today." ”

The emperor finally came back to his senses, he looked up at the ministers below, and said in a flat tone: "If I don't go well with you today, won't I be able to get out of this Jinluan Palace?" Is it true to make a prince? I have four sons, which one will you appoint? Tian Jun, to be called. ”

Cao Baoli exchanged a look with Tian Jun, who was in charge of the pen, and Tian Jun took out his pen and ink and prepared to write a summons.

"The ministers recommend the fourth son of the emperor to offer the king Xie Ruiqi as the crown prince!" Of course, Ji Ruicheng would not be polite, he said loudly. Before he could elaborate on the benefits of offering the king, he heard the voice of a young courtier behind him.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play. Xianwang colluded with Zhang Zhi of Xichang and Yu Zhihuan of Putian Zhixian County to solicit and accept bribes totaling 400,000 taels of silver, of which Yu Zhihuan offered two taels of silver, in order to intercept the income from the imperial court's Fubian money, and the minister has filed a separate case. The minister thought that the virtue of offering the king was wrong and he was not worthy of being the crown prince. Sun Yanxi, the secretary of Dali Temple, said cleanly with a fold.

Cao Baoli was overjoyed, but Master Sun sent a timely rain. He hurriedly motioned for Wu Dezhong to hand over the fold. He took the fold and only roughly flipped it, and then said to the emperor proudly: "Your Majesty, the situation is true. ”

The emperor sneered: "Is this the crown prince you Chen Bing Palace, chosen for me?" With such virtue as a king, how can I put the Celestial Empire in his hands? ”

Xianwang trembled and fell to his knees, completely devoid of the heart of watching the drama that he was satisfied with just now: "Father...... Father's ...... These 400,000 sons...... I didn't know ......."

Ji Guogong also reacted, people are participating in you, you can not admit it!

Prince Xiang, who had been silent, came out at this time:

"Your Majesty, the younger brother sponsors the third son of the emperor, Duan Wang Xie Ruijiao, as the crown prince."
