Yun Zhen was stunned for a moment, saw that Daiyu was very worried, and said, "It's okay, I guess it's for the election of the prince, and my father is angry." This was to be expected. ”

Daiyu was so frightened that her soul was almost gone, "Who is the choice?" ”

"In the past few days, the excerpt that invited the crown prince flew into the palace like snowflakes, all of them recommended the eldest prince, and the father was angry about this."

Daiyu knew that it was uncertain how to go in, so she hurriedly instructed Zhong Shun, "You hurry up and go ahead to stabilize the eunuch, I don't know who it is, reward him heavily." After the master finished eating a bowl of rice, he changed his clothes and went in again. ”

Zhong Shun hurriedly took the order, Daiyu handed Yun Zhen a bowl of rice that had just been served, and instructed Mingyue, "Bring the knee pads that were made just now, and the prince's robe is ready!" ”

For a while, after eating, Daiyu served Yun Zhen and changed her clothes, and Brother Shun and Brother Xu saw that Yun Zhen was going to leave again, so they also had to follow. Daiyu was busy asking someone to hug the two little ones down, but Yun Zhen waved her hand to stop her, squatted down, and hugged the two children into her arms on the left and right, "You are obedient at home, listen to your mother's words, Daddy will go to the palace, see the imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother come back, and when Daddy comes back, if whoever sleeps the most well, Daddy will take a look at whom, and prick someone's face with stubble, okay?" ”

"I'm the most well-behaved, better than my brother!"

"I, I, I!" Brother Xu is not very good at talking, he only drills into Yun Zhen's arms, Yun Zhen hugs the child, "Okay, good, now it's not good to say who is well-behaved or not, wait for Daddy to see your performance, so, play for a while, go to the bath, take care of your mother and sleep well, and wait for Daddy to come back!" ”

In the palace, Yun Zhen arrived the latest, and in the Winter Warm Pavilion of the Jingde Palace, a large number of lichens were already kneeling, and all the adult knighted princes had arrived. Yun Zhen knelt down at the end, and when Thirteen saw him coming, he hurriedly moved back a little and knelt side by side with him.

Yun Zhen glanced at him, then lowered his head, who knew that he was still seen by the emperor, and asked, "Why did you come so late?" I'm not dead yet, I can't even call you anymore? ”

This is a sin of desire!

Yun Zhen hurriedly kowtowed and asked for sin, "When the son came, the two brothers had to come in, saying that they hadn't seen the Dao Emperor's grandfather for a long time, and the son had to coax him, so he was late, and asked his father to forgive him!" ”

Unexpectedly, the emperor was not angry, but tears flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he thought, so he was stunned for a long time before he asked, "I said earlier this morning that the ministers and workers recommended candidates for the crown prince, and the result was ......."

He patted the folds on the dragon case, which were piled up like a hill, "There are so many people, nearly ninety percent of them, who have given me an excerpt and recommended the eldest prince Yun Ning as the crown prince, which is really surprising to me!" ”

The emperor stood sideways, Yun Zhen looked up at him, he didn't see his expression, and it was incomprehensible, his last sentence was meaningful, what did it mean?

"Erchen is terrified!" Yun Ning kowtowed desperately, the joy and pride of being recommended by the ministers before, at this time has disappeared, the grace of the king is unpredictable, this moment has made him deeply understand, "The ministers also never imagined, the sons are only shallow and shallow, and they are really not worthy of the ministers to be so promoted!" ”

"It's not a lift!" The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the eldest prince, "Today, King Zhongshun also told me that the eldest prince is a sage king and is worthy of the position of prince!" ”

This made Yun Zhen a little surprised, but he was not worried, but silently glanced at Yun Ning's back, seeing him trembling, he didn't know whether he was excited or afraid.

"There are also a hundred percent of the ministers, including some of the princes you belong to, who have not submitted their books to me, eighth, tell me, why didn't you recommend the eldest prince? Do you think that yourself, as my son, and your mother and concubine, also have the right to be the prince? ”

Thirteen was startled, he never dreamed that his father would take the eighth prince for no reason, and was about to say something with his neck, but Yun Zhen grabbed him and said busily, "Father, although he is the son of his father, although his son and mother are imperial concubines, but the position of the prince is the important weapon of the country, and it should be determined by the father's sacred heart. ”

The emperor stared at Yun Zhen for a long time, his eyes were deep, and for a long time, he sneered, "You can speak, for the king and the minister, it doesn't matter to you!" ”

Fortunately, the emperor no longer talked about Yun Zhen, and turned to the second prince, "Killing the monarch and killing your father, have I ever wronged you?" ”

"Father, you are wronged!" The second prince cried bitterly, "The sons have been raised and taught by their fathers since they were children, even if they don't become a weapon, they don't dare to give birth to such a beast, and the sons and daughters will never dare!" ”

"You don't dare, but the people around you dare!" When the emperor said this, tears came out, his body was shaky, one hand supported the case, the other hand held his forehead, and his face was full of depression, "I feel sorry for you that you have no mother since you were a child, and I have personally raised you, and I have spent more thought on you than all the princes combined." You said that you have been the prince for more than 30 years, and you are complaining about it......"

He turned his head to look at the crown prince, his eyes were as cold as arrows, "You are complaining that I am an old immortal!" ”

The second prince was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, howling, "Father, someone framed his son, and his son never dared to say such a thing, how dare his son?" ”

The emperor closed his eyes and glanced at the other princes, as if infinitely sad, "Framed? Who would dare to frame you? Alas! Since ancient times, there have only been melons and melons, where are there melons? Yun Zhen, I heard that you are very attentive to my two imperial grandsons, and you do everything yourself and teach you personally, I wonder if you will also feel some emotion after seeing my situation today? ”

The princes all looked at Yun Zhen, Yun Zhen looked back indifferently, and arched his hand, "Father, this is human nature, and the sons are just thinking, if they don't treat them with kindness today, in the future, they will treat the sons and daughters with admiration and respectful filial piety, won't it be more and more painful?" Besides, the father, the son will never believe that the second brother has the intention of killing his father, and the son will protect the second brother, and he is willing to guarantee the head of the son and the minister! ”

Hearing this, Thirteen hurriedly said, "Father, the son is also willing to vouch for the second brother with the starling brother, and also ask the father to take back the will to depose the crown prince!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the four princes and others also put forward a guarantee, the eldest prince straightened up, looked around, couldn't believe it, but everything that happened in front of him was true, at this time, where did he not understand, and at the same time he was extremely sad in his heart, but also hateful.

Only the third prince Yun Xuan, who was the brother of the eldest prince Yun Ning's mother, knelt on the ground without saying a word, and the emperor saw it and asked in a deep voice, "Yun Xuan, what do you mean?" Do you recommend your eldest brother, or protect your second brother? ”
