Chapter 169: Counting is Counting

Prince Xiang saw that there was no displeasure on the emperor's face, and said: "Your Majesty, King Duan is loyal and friendly, and has made military exploits several times, and now he is the eldest son of the emperor's brother. The imperial brother should consider Liduan Wang as the crown prince. ”

The younger brother seconded. Duanwang has always been peaceful, and it is not good to form a party for personal gain. At present, King Duan is the eldest of the four sons of the emperor's brothers, and he has no heirs. The younger brother thought that if the prince was established, King Duan would be the most suitable. Prince An also came out.

On that day, Prince An and Prince Xiang discussed, with the suspicious personality of the imperial brother, if he emphasized the military exploits and popular feelings of King Duan, it would arouse the suspicion of the emperor. The two of them talked about the identity of King Duan's eldest son, and the emperor could also listen to it.

The Marquis of Kangding, the Ministry of Officials, the Imperial History of Zuodu, and some ministers who supported the establishment of the chief were all seconded. That's why they do the same.

Standing in the main hall, King Xian and King Kang were shocked: the third brother has always been low-key, and he has never shown his intention to win the heir, but he can't imagine that he is just hiding it deeply, it is a tiger and not a cat!

Hearing that his younger brother and ministers recommended his third son to be the crown prince, the emperor smiled with relief: "King Duan, you are going to get married, I will give you the title of a prince as a wedding gift!" Tian Jun, the proposed decree, canonized the third son of the emperor, Xie Ruijiao, as the crown prince! After speaking, he looked at Ji Ruicheng with a mockery, as long as Ji Guogong lost, he would be happy.

Tian Jun had already prepared his will, and he was waiting to fill in the name of King Kang, but now the fifth son of the emperor has become the third son of the emperor...... It's less than a stroke, and it's easy to write. The emperor glanced at the holy decree and said, "Xuan." ”

Cao Baoli was already very happy when he saw that it was not recommended by Ji Guogong to offer the king, and immediately read out aloud the decree of the crown prince. Everything else is routine, and he only deliberately dragged the last sentence with a long tail note: "...... Choose a day for the canonization ceremony! Chin this ------"

After the decree was announced, King Duan knelt forward to receive the decree: "The son of the minister receives the decree, thank you for the holy grace of the father!" ”

How do you know that Ji Guogong is not annoyed or angry, and actually laughs and says: "I just want to watch you become the crown prince, and then abolish you as the emperor!" Come! I saw a nurse carrying the eldest son of the king who had just completed the moon and entered the palace.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on King Xian's forehead: I guessed right, Ji Ruicheng really wants to make my son the emperor! Could it be that if I don't become an emperor for a day, I will directly become the emperor?

"Your Majesty, this is the eldest son of King Xian, also surnamed Xie. Your crown prince Xie Ruijiao has not yet married, let alone has no heirs, if you give the throne to your imperial grandson today, he can also accompany you back to cultivate. If you don't want to meditate...... You and the crown prince died in the melee, and your grandson became the emperor. Ji Guogong tore his face and said it clearly.

Ji Chuan waved his hand, and the Jin Wuwei next to him drew his swords one after another. There was a chaotic footstep outside the main hall, and a group of lightly armored soldiers wearing the uniforms of the five military camps poured into the main hall, and together with Jin Wuwei, the main hall was tightly stuffed. It seems that Bao Huaifeng has also succeeded, and Ji Tai will rush in after controlling the outside of the palace. Ji Chuan thought proudly.

The emperor was stunned, slowly stood up, and said with a miserable smile: "Ji Guogong, the five military camps are also yours?" It seems that you want more than just a prince, what you want is my world......"

The crown prince Xie Ruijiao smiled and stepped forward and arched his hand: "Father, don't panic, since you canonized your son as the crown prince, your son has the responsibility and ability to protect his father and protect the country." The Ji Party has long coveted the country, how could the loyal ministers of the Celestial Empire look at the Ji Clan covering the sky with one hand and be indifferent? ”

At this time, I saw that the soldiers of the five military battalions were separated on both sides, and the governor Feng Guangcai walked in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is late to escort you." The soldiers of the five military battalions listened to the order and took down the rebel ministers Ji Ruicheng and Ji Chuan! ”

Ji Chuan hurriedly commanded Jin Wuwei and wanted to rush forward to hold the emperor and the crown prince hostage. But with a wave of the prince's hand, Jin Wuwei took off his outer cloak, revealing the uniform of Yu Linwei inside, and pointed his sword at Ji Chuan.

Ji Chuan suddenly realized: I said, how did there be a magic archer in my Jin Wuwei, it turned out that he had been dropped by someone, and he was so focused on the emperor that he didn't pay attention at all!

The situation in the hall suddenly changed, and the emperor saw the victory clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "The prince did a good job!" Ji Ruicheng, you didn't expect that, right? My surname in the world is Xie, what can you want if you want? ”

King Xian, who was already kneeling on the ground, knelt and moved a few steps forward, kowtowing: "Father Emperor Mingcha!" All this was done by the Ji father and son, and the son didn't know it! ”

The emperor looked at this son who did not distinguish between right and wrong, and said lightly: "I know." The emperor he wants to set up is your son, not you. However, I will investigate your crime of soliciting and accepting bribes. ”

"Thank you, Father! Thank you! "The king is grateful, what is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? My father would never have killed him for this money, and now life is more important than anything else. There was a faint joy in the heart of the king, even if he wanted to borrow the power of the Ji clan, but the Ji clan was his enemy of the mother-destroying clan, and he did not forget this.

"Prince, I'll take care of the rest here. I'm tired. After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up with Cao Baoli's hand and slowly walked out of the hall.

Cao Baoli thought as he walked: No! Where is Duanwang picking up cheap? He obviously came prepared, so ...... Was Wang Man dealt with in advance by Duanwang?

After the emperor left, Yu Linwei escorted Ji Ruicheng and Ji Chuan out to await trial, and the princes and ministers knelt down to salute the prince.

"No courtesy. Today's matter, Lone will investigate it in detail, and the Ji family's rebellion will be a disaster. Please feel at ease to do things for the court, father and orphan, I will not lose sight of your credit. Today, everyone will go home for the festival with peace of mind! The prince said with a smile, as if the tension just now was just a play.

The ministers didn't dare to talk about it, they wanted to go home and take stock of their relationship with the Ji family. The Ji clan is about to fall, even if the prince is exempted from the nine clans, there will definitely be no escape within these three clans. Prince An and Prince Xiang nodded to the prince, and also came out of the hall, they supported the prince today, and between the nods, the prince received this great favor.

The Ministry of Rites didn't dare to leave like this, so they hurriedly discussed with Qin Tianjian.

Guan Minwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Fu, the Qintianjian of Qintian, were worried, and the prince still had five days to get married, but the crown prince's canonization ceremony could not be done within five days. If it is a big wedding as a prince, this is also unreasonable.

Two people together, got! This wedding has to be postponed...... hurriedly wrote a report and submitted it, and the courtiers quickly approved it: the crown prince's canonization ceremony is scheduled for August 28, the same day, the prince's wedding, double happiness.

The crown prince wanted to go and lift the table of Qin Tianjian again, but he glared at Yu Shizi and said, "Isn't Zhu Jianzheng your person?" How did he cheat me! It's going to drag on for another month, don't you know how painful it is? ”

Seeing him blowing his beard and glaring, the prince had long since lost the appearance of the prince who commanded Ruoding in the main hall, and felt funny: "Your Royal Highness the prince, you also have to spend some time dealing with the Ji family's rebellion, right?" I heard that Concubine Ji Guifei went to the emperor yesterday to cry, and the emperor only grounded her in the palace and did not let her be guilty of the same crime as the Ji clan. ”

The prince sneered: "I already have evidence that she eats human blood, killing people pays for her life, even if she can't marry a foreign daughter, she should have died a hundred times!" ”

Early this morning, my father issued an edict to exempt Ji Guifei and Ji Qinglan, the two foreign daughters who married into the royal family, with the idea that "the misfortune will not be caused by the foreign married daughter". This is also a precedent, whether the emperor punishes the nine clans or the three clans, he can't punish himself.

At this time, Cheng Hanbai and Zhao Muzhe walked in together.

Cheng Hanbai said with a smile: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a god, and the Ji family has been taken into custody. Why are you still so worried? ”

The prince looked at Cheng Hanbai sincerely: "My marriage with Haitang will be postponed to August 28, and the wedding will be the same day as the prince's canonization ceremony." You must explain it to me when you go back. ”

"Is my sister such an unreasonable person?" Cheng Hanbai wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but remembering that his brother-in-law was now the prince, he put down his raised hand again.

"This time, thanks to the Crown Princess's smoke ball, we went to Jin Wuwei to change people the night before, and the smoke fans poured down, we just stepped forward to tie people up, and we didn't encounter any trouble." Zhao Xiaohou temporarily took charge of Jin Wuwei, and now he has only left the palace.

Ji Chuan committed the capital crime of the Zhujiu clan, which of the small yamen in the Jinwuwei was not eager to peel off the piece of skin that touched Ji Chuan on his body to show his innocence? They are even more grateful that the night before yesterday, Zhao Xiaohou Ye tied them up, and they were not involved in the palace case.

Cheng Hanbai couldn't laugh a little: "The five military camps met the night before. If it weren't for Jiang Haitao of the Left Army and Xu Yi of the former Army, who unexpectedly took Ji Tai and Du Yunze, and Feng Dudu came forward to appease the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army and the Rear Army, it would inevitably be a bloody wash of the Fifth Army. Our Jingwei's life is much simpler, guarding the well, and there is no one alive. It's a pity that Bao Huaifeng ran away with the poisonous man! ”

"If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, so after packing up Ji Guifei, I'll go and pack up Bao Huaifeng!" The prince said hatefully.

The prince nodded and said, "Yes, these smoky things won't let them stay for long." In the future, my responsibility will be even heavier, and you will all be my right-hand men. Remember our favorite song? What kind of country do we want, we will create it ourselves! ”

Xie Rui was full of ambition.
