"Since this matter is going to be announced, it is very inappropriate for the fourth child to be the prince but not present."

The emperor turned his head to look at De'an, "Go to the fourth hall of Xuanlao." ”

The officials below all looked at each other secretly, with different expressions.

"Your Highness, the weather is very cold today, you have to put this cloak on!"

Xiao Chengzi saw that his prince had hurriedly changed into court clothes and was about to go out, so he hurriedly chased after him with his cloak.

King Jing walked quickly to the outside of the mansion, where did he still have the heart to care whether the weather was cold or not. Today, he didn't go on the grounds that he was unwell.

Anyway, this situation is often the case, so the father just asked a few words and agreed.

But he didn't expect that he didn't go today, but something big happened.

The father and emperor were so urgent, Xiao Quanzi said that the officials of the previous court were waiting for him, because there was something to announce at the court meeting.

But no matter how King Jing asked, Xiao Quanzi refused to say any more.

only said that he was a minion, neither serving the emperor closely, nor being on duty in the Taihe Palace, where did he know the details here?

King Jing hurriedly got into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards the palace.

King Jing calmed down and thought about it carefully. First of all, he is not so important, and the court meeting will not be able to open without him.

Secondly, it certainly wasn't because he did anything wrong. Because if he made a mistake, Xiao Chengzi didn't come alone, and although Xiao Chengzi was eager in his words, his expression was not cold and hard, but his eyes were a little weird.

As for why it's weird, King Jing is in no mood to guess at this time. He didn't have to guess what a slave thought.

But he thought of a possibility that his father could summon him to the court in a hurry, which must be for the sake of establishing a prince.

Suddenly, he sat up straight, his face a little solemn. Could it be that the father is going to announce the candidate for the prince today? The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

No matter how King Jing thought about it, there was silence in the Taihe Palace.

Don't look at those ministers who were all happy just now, but they knew that it was when the emperor hadn't made a decision yet, and the emperor could naturally tolerate it.

But at this time, the emperor has already made up his mind, and the candidate has not yet been announced. If they don't shut up, they're a little bit unscrupulous.

The emperor looked at the silent ministers below, and glanced at the three princes standing in front of him, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

It's all saw-mouthed gourds at this time, and when he announces the results, those ministers will definitely turn the sky upside down.

However, this is a must-go for the crown prince. The emperor regrets it a little now, it is better to set up the prince earlier, anyway, if he does not abdicate, can the prince still force the palace?

"Sons see their father, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

After waiting for about half an hour, King Jing hurried and finally arrived at the Taihe Palace.

Looking at King Jing who was gasping slightly, the emperor's eyes were very complicated.

"Let's get flat!"

"The matter of establishing the crown prince has been discussed for a long time, and as for the candidate, everyone has always had their own opinions. But the East Palace has been empty for a long time, and it must not be delayed any longer. With all of you here today, I announce the choice of the Prince. ”

King Jing's face sank when he heard this, he really wanted to make a prince, otherwise how could his father be so anxious to make him the emperor?

He guessed in his heart who his father would choose to be the crown prince, and after thinking for a moment, he felt bitter in his heart.

Whoever it is, it can't be him anyway. So who is it and what difference does it make to him?

"I don't know who the emperor wants to be the crown prince?" Xia Qing came out of the queue and asked what everyone thought.

In fact, Xia Qing already knew in his heart, judging from the various actions of the emperor before, who was that person not the eldest prince?

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then finally opened his mouth under the eager gaze of everyone, "The eldest prince Zhao Xian is talented, his ability is extraordinary, and he is deeply interested in handling general affairs. And he has always been loyal and filial to me, and these are impeccable. As the eldest son, he has fulfilled the obligation of the eldest son. ”

The emperor's words of praise made some people present happy and some worried.

When the eldest prince heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his father really still valued him.

With this compliment, the crown prince, the candidate in his father's heart is himself?

Thinking that he was about to become the master of the East Palace, the eldest prince's heart was extremely excited. Even the hands hidden in the cuffs trembled a little, what an exciting time!

The second prince and the third prince on the side heard this, but their moods were completely different.

Their hearts sank to the bottom, did the father think that the eldest brother? Does the crown prince really have to insulate from them?

Especially the second prince, his legs are a little weak. As long as he thinks that he is from the middle palace, but he will have to live under the eldest brother in the future, he feels that he has nothing to love.

Will the queen mother still be in charge of the harem in the future? A concubine who was crowned king and rushed to the fiefdom, even if it was a queen, would have to be laughed at.

How unbearable is the sister-in-law? Otherwise, why did the emperor pass on the crown prince to his concubine?

He had wanted his father to see his abilities, so he didn't hide his actions in Hejian Mansion too much. He wanted to prove to his father that he was not a mediocre person.

It's a pity that he couldn't get the treasure map in the end, but as far as he knows, the treasure map must have been in the hands of his father. Otherwise, after Gu Chengyu came back, how could he be so safe?

He was a little discouraged, anyway, no matter how hard he tried, his father didn't have him in his eyes.

The officials of the eldest prince's line in the palace all showed big smiles, no wonder they couldn't hold their breath, this is the position of the crown prince!

When the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, these officials, who began to follow before the eldest prince became the East Palace, are still worried about having a good future?

Just as the eldest prince was about to come out and be modest, the emperor opened his mouth again.

However, Zhao Xian's temperament is too ruthless, and although he is decisive, he is ruthless. If our Dayan wants to expand its territory, then Zhao Xian is indeed suitable, but what Dayan needs now is to keep it. The second prince, Zhao Dan, has a pure temperament, a generous temperament and benevolence. If he ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, he will inevitably love the people and benefit the common people in the world, so the second prince Zhao Dian is the best candidate for the crown prince. ”

The emperor closed his eyes slightly, and then his voice changed, and he actually said something unexpected.

The eldest prince was stunned, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong. Just now, his father was obviously praising him, why did he seem to hear his father say that the second brother was the best candidate for the crown prince?

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind.

This is impossible, how can the candidate in the father's heart be the second? He must have misheard.

The second prince really couldn't believe it, he watched his father's mouth open and close with blank eyes. As soon as the upper and lower mouths touched, the position of the prince became his own?

He glanced at his father in surprise, and found that his father actually smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at him softly.

He was a little stunned, as if he still didn't believe that the pie in the sky really fell on his head.
