General Xue suddenly said: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is not safe, and you can't go to court early, so it's better to canonize the crown prince as soon as possible and let the prince share your worries." ”

There was silence in the hall.

They were shocked, but more of them were ready to move, especially the ministers who had already stood in line.

Wu Sikong said: "The sixth prince has just died, and His Majesty is in mourning, and at this time, it is not appropriate to discuss the matter of establishing the prince. ”

Lord Qian disagreed with his statement, "Lord Sikong's words are wrong, it is precisely because this is a very important time that it is necessary to establish a prince as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the people of the world and stabilize the situation." ”

The emperor looked at it and asked lightly: "Then Qian Aiqing thinks who is suitable to be the crown prince?" ”

Lord Qian replied respectfully: "Now Your Majesty only has two princes, and the seventh prince has injured his hand, so naturally the five princes can share His Majesty's worries." Besides, the young and the young are orderly, and the five princes are the best candidates for the crown prince. ”

The emperor looked at everyone: "What about the opinions of Zhong Aiqing?" ”

Several ministers quietly exchanged glances, and finally stood up with firm eyes and said, "The ministers seconded Lord Qian." ”

When the emperor saw it, more than half of the courtiers supported the five princes.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes that the Seventh Prince is the best candidate for the crown prince because of his intelligence and ability, and he is bold and decisive."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

These are the supporters of the Seven Princes.

"The seven princes are all injured, how can they share the worries of Your Majesty." The Five Princes' faction began to attack.

"The Seventh Prince just sprained his left hand, and it doesn't affect his writing, and it's not broken, it will heal in a few days, why not?"

"The young and the old are orderly, and the five princes are the best candidates for the crown prince."

"Since ancient times, those who have been kings have been sages, and so have princes..."

The people of the two camps began to quarrel, completely forgetting that this was the emperor's dormitory, and the emperor was in front of him.

Of course, there were still a few people in the hall who didn't say anything, that is, Wu Sikong and others who were completely loyal to the emperor.

"Shut up." The Emperor raised his voice abruptly.

Everyone shuddered, bowed their heads and stood.

The emperor glanced at them coldly, and only after a long time did he speak: "The matter of establishing the crown prince will be discussed another day, and since my body cannot be overworked, then from tomorrow, the seventh prince will handle government affairs on my behalf, and Da Sikong and Du Shangshu will assist from the side."

"All matters are decided by the Zhongshu Province, and in case of major military events, we will go back and forth."

Before General Xue could say anything, he heard the emperor say, "Stand down." He had no choice but to swallow his words.

On the second day, the edict was announced to the world, and the rumors seemed to be less. The Seventh Prince began to act as the government and supervised the funeral of King Xian.

After leaving the court, the five princes returned to the mansion and were furious and smashed the furnishings in the room clean.

"Deceive too much, deceive too much..."

A group of maids and servants knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.

Mr. Ji walked in from outside and ordered, "Clean up the house, and go about your business." ”

Everyone looked at the fifth prince, and when they saw that he did not make a sound to stop him, they stood up tremblingly and went to pick up the debris on the ground.

They moved softly, but quickly, and soon cleared the room, and all exited the room.

Only then did Mr. Ji say: "Why is Your Highness so angry, it's your own to be angry." ”

The fifth prince's anger did not subside: "I thought that my father loved me the most, and he has been doing this all these years." didn't expect Lao Qi to sit in the position of the prison country silently.

"Could it be that my father chose Lao Qi to be the crown prince?

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

Speaking of the back, the fifth prince almost roared, and his heart was greatly hurt.

Mr. Ji didn't immediately comfort him, but waited for his emotions to calm down a little before he spoke: "Your Highness don't worry, it's just acting for the government, and we haven't issued a holy decree to appoint the Seventh Prince as the crown prince, so we still have a chance." ”

"Opportunity?" The fifth prince sneered: "The father and the emperor have made it clear that he treats the seventh prince as a prince, what chance do I have?" ”

Mr. Ji saw that this was just the angry words of the five princes, for that position, the five princes had been planning for so many years, how could they give up just because the seventh prince was acting as the government minister.

However, the emperor's mind is unfathomable, and no one knows the emperor's true heart.

"Your Highness, although Your Majesty has issued an edict on his own crimes, there are still rumors in the capital, and rumors have spread out of the capital, we might as well take this opportunity to pull him off the horse..."

Xiao Lingfeng stopped and looked at the door of the Yang Mansion, a thin man kept walking around the street in front of the door, looking inside from time to time, looking worried and nervous. Looking at the clothes on his body, this is a soldier from the large battalion in the northern suburbs.

Xiao Lingfeng walked over and asked with a straight face, "Who are you, what are you doing sneakily here?" ”

Suddenly, there was a voice from behind, which startled Xiao Bing, and when he turned around and saw Xiao Lingfeng's face that was not angry and arrogant, he immediately knelt on the ground in fright.

"I... I am... Cheng Rui of the Left Army of the Northern Suburbs Battalion, I... I'm here to see General Yang.

"I was also in the northern suburbs just now, it was General Yang who saved me, I was worried about the old general's injury, and I wanted to come and see."

Xiao Lingfeng stared at him and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

Cheng Rui knew that the identity of the person in front of him was noble, and being stared at by him, Cheng Rui felt as if he had been stripped of his clothes, and there was no secret in front of him.

When Cheng Rui became more and more nervous, nervous to the point of cold sweat in the winter, Xiao Lingfeng suddenly opened his mouth: "Why don't you go in and see?" ”

Cheng Rui's head lowered: "They won't let me in, I... I just want to know if the old general is okay, I saw a lot of doctors go in, but they haven't come out until now. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Lingfeng was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "The old general will definitely be fine, you go back first, don't stay here." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the Yang Mansion.

Cheng Rui saw that the guards guarding the door were very respectful to him, and called him "Young Master Cousin".

Young Master Cousin?

Could it be the young master of the Xiao Mansion?

Cheng Rui didn't want to think about it anymore, so he found a shady place nearby and continued to wait, those doctors would always come out, he would wait here, and when they came out, he would ask.

——

"How's my grandfather?" Xiao Lingfeng asked the guard who led the way.

The guard looked very happy: "At first, all the doctors were at a loss, we thought that the old general was not saved, but I didn't expect that Li Gongzi brought an old man later."

"No, it's a miracle doctor, the miracle doctor just glanced at it and said that the old general was still saved, and now he is taking a medicinal bath for the old general, and I heard that the old general's face is much better.

"Also, the divine doctor also helped the fourth young master look at his leg, saying that he didn't need to amputate his leg, and later, the divine doctor connected the bones to the fourth young master and used medicine, and now he is much better.

"The divine doctor said that after three months, the fourth young master will be able to get out of bed, and after half a year, the fourth young master will be able to recover as before."

When the guards talked about this, their eyebrows fluttered, and they looked very happy, and it could be seen that the guards of the Yang Mansion had a deep affection for the old general.
