Because the emperor had recommended Gu Chengyu to the second prince before, he felt that Gu Chengyu might be the second prince's party. I asked this firstly to be tempted, and secondly, because the officials were pressing, and the matter of establishing the crown prince was imminent.

And those officials have all been divided into factions, and the court meeting of the past two days has become a place for them to fight. The emperor also knew that he couldn't prevaricate this time, but he couldn't make up his mind in his heart, so he asked Gu Chengyu's opinion.

Of course, Gu Chengyu knew that such an answer would dissatisfy the emperor, but could he say what was in his heart?

As a king, the emperor is embarrassed by the opposition to the crown prince. As a father, even if he is partial, he definitely doesn't dare to follow his own preferences.

Establishing a prince is not a child's play, this is related to the inheritance of Dayan. On the surface, the emperor seems to have a preference for the eldest prince, but the eldest prince is ruthless and unscrupulous.

Although the eldest husband is informal, the previous bandit case exposed the eldest prince's temperament of treating human life like a mustard.

A king must not only protect the country, but also love his people. If you don't even care about the lives of innocent people, you are immoral.

For the second prince, Gu Chengyu has not personally contacted him. But it is rumored that he is benevolent and virtuous, if he only guards the peaceful and prosperous times, then the second prince is of course the best choice for the prince.

After all, the background of the second prince has an advantage, and what the first emperor wrote in the edict was that the current emperor inherited the throne.

Today's emperor is the concubine of the former emperor, the queen of the main palace, and the name is justified.

But now that Dayan is suffering from internal and external troubles, the second prince is so benevolent, can he really handle these state affairs? However, this is all spread from outside, Gu Chengyu has never seen anyone, so it is difficult to make a conclusion, in fact, he has secretly analyzed it before.

He thinks that the second prince can stand well under the calculation of the eldest prince, and he has a reputation of loyalty and virtue, which is not simple in itself.

In the past few years, the princes have fought more and more frequently, and they are all staring at that seat! He didn't believe in the eldest prince, they hadn't calculated the second prince.

Therefore, he maintained a skeptical attitude towards the loyal and virtuous character of the second prince.

If you want to talk about the three princes, he has no shortage of strategies, but he is also ruthless. This can be seen from the last time Wan Xuenian died in Mingjian, for his own interests, he can also calculate his loved ones.

Wanfu was raided, the third prince was lifted, and he didn't dare to intercede for the remaining relatives of Wanfu in front of the emperor.

Even if it's just a show, even if the emperor doesn't agree, then it's all face, isn't it? Who thinks that the third prince may be afraid of being implicated, so he doesn't even mention it, which is too chilling.

The shortcomings of the eldest prince and the third prince are too obvious, and the second prince has not yet been contacted, so he doesn't know the character. And the last King Jing, Gu Chengyu felt that the emperor had expelled him from the battle for the throne.

has been crowned the king and returned to the fief, and the emperor's meaning is already obvious. Besides, no matter whether King Jing is really sick or fake, his reputation outside is already a sick seedling, and there is no chance of competition.

King Jing is not inferior to anyone in his strategy, and he also likes to calculate in every way. Gu Chengyu's feelings about King Jing are not good, but he can also understand that who is the prince who is the prince of that position first?

Since you want it, and you don't have the assistance of external forces, you can only try your best to fight for it.

All he could rely on was his own schemes.

has analyzed so much, but he is still just a petty official, who will be the prince, at present, it is not his turn to worry about it.

But then again, if he is the emperor, then he will not have any less headaches than the emperor.

These princes have big shortcomings, and they are not short of strategy, and it is normal for the emperor to be embarrassed.

In fact, if you want him to say, it is better to choose a pleasing prince when he was a child, take him with him and teach him carefully, and he can always cultivate a character that the emperor is satisfied with, why is it so troublesome now?

"Weichen is just hearsay, so naturally he can't do it accurately. People say that the eldest prince has a calm temperament, is very capable of doing things, and often shares worries for the emperor. The second prince is benevolent, loyal, broad-minded, conscientious, and his ability is beyond doubt. ”

Gu Chengyu saw that the emperor's face remained unchanged, so he continued with confidence: "The third prince is even more clever, and he has his own furrow in his chest, and he spares no effort to complete the errands you have explained. And although King Jing's body has not yet recovered, he is also smart and studious, and his temperament is humble. Under your careful teaching, several princes and princes are all dragons and phoenixes among people! ”

Since he can't say what he says in his heart, then he blows it hard! The advantages of the princes were expanded, and the disadvantages were never mentioned. Although the emperor is a king, he is also a father, and his son is praised, so he should be comfortable, right?

Besides, he slapped the emperor a little later.

Even if Gu Chengyu said so much, it was not helpful to establish the crown prince, and the emperor was not angry. However, he was amused by Gu Chengyu's cleverness.

He originally didn't expect Gu Chengyu to say anything to share his worries, so he was not disappointed after listening to Gu Chengyu's words.

This Gu Chengyu is a little fox, he doesn't say a word about the shortcomings of the princes, and it seems that he is also a slick person.

He naturally didn't think that Gu Chengyu thought so in his heart, but he didn't plan to dig deeper.

It's not that I don't know how to propose, but I don't dare to say it. The emperor didn't want to embarrass Gu Chengyu, so he also replied with a smile.

"Then in your eyes, the princes are suitable to be princes?"

"This is all what Wechen has heard, so it can be seen that everyone thinks so in their hearts. The emperor is so wise, I am afraid that he has already planned for the establishment of the prince, and Weichen's humble opinion should not be used to show ugliness. ”

Gu Chengyu saw that the emperor didn't look angry, and felt that the emperor was quite tolerant of him, and his expression relaxed a little, and finally said two witty words.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then pointed at him with a smile and said, "Flim tongue!" ”

Coming out of the imperial study, Gu Chengyu let out a long breath, no wonder people often say that a companion is like a tiger, he just had 120,000 energy to deal with it.

He can imagine how those eunuchs who are with the emperor every day, such as De'an, live? Isn't that a daily fear?

De'an sent Gu Chengyu out of the imperial study, glanced at the youngest official of the Dayan Dynasty, and said to Gu Chengyu with a smile: "Lord Gu is leaving, our family will not send it, the emperor is still waiting for our family!" ”

Gu Chengyu hurriedly turned around and took the things in De'an's hand, and said to De'an: "Gonggong Chen, please stay, it is important to serve the emperor, and the official can go by himself." ”

De'an is the eunuch rank of Zheng Sipin, and he is also a celebrity around the emperor, and being able to be so polite with Gu Chengyu can be regarded as giving some face.
