is only the champion of the new department, and Emperor Jianwen didn't put it in his eyes.

It's just that this new champion is still the eldest grandson of Shoufu Lu Ge. With this layer of identity, you can't afford to take it lightly.

In the face of others, the four princes can say nothing, and even look at each other coldly. Now the person who opened his mouth to ask questions was Emperor Jianwen, and the four princes had to answer.

Even if it's made up, you have to make up a convincing reason.

The four princes' hearts were racing, and there was no strange look on their faces, just right to show a trace of shame: "Some little things actually alarmed my father." The sons are ashamed. ”

"Lu Chi and I have known each other since we were young, and our friendship is quite good. He is the champion of the new department, and now he has a group of new subjects around him. I want him to gather a few talented new scholars for me, and when he becomes a vassal in the future, he will be brought to the vassal as an official. ”

"He thought that his son had the intention of forming a party for personal gain, and he had an argument with me. After that, he refused to go back and forth. ”

The four princes' remarks are quite ingenious.

is not only reasonable, but also covers up the unspeakable truth, and exculpates Lu Chi.

With Emperor Jianwen's short-term temper, he had no good impression of Lu Chi, who unilaterally cut off contact with the four princes. In the future, it may affect Lu Chi's career.

No matter how angry the four princes were, they were reluctant to let Lu Chi suffer half of the grievances.

Sure enough, after listening to this explanation, the unhappiness in Emperor Jianwen's eyes disappeared. Instead, he opened his mouth and praised Lu Chi: "This Lu Chi, although his temperament is a little dull, is a loyal minister." ”

Then, his eyes swept over the four princes, and he tapped a few sentences lightly: "The prince has decided, and all your thoughts that you shouldn't have should be packed up." If it weren't for you acting inappropriately, how could Lu Chi be suspicious? ”

The fourth prince whispered.

Heavenly father and son, even if there is family affection, there are too many other things mixed in it. This father-son relationship is destined to be on guard, with introspection and pressure.

Emperor Jianwen stared at the four princes for a moment.

The invisible coercion made the four princes' hearts slightly cold, and they never raised their heads to look at Emperor Jianwen.

After a long time, Emperor Jianwen sighed silently and said lightly: "You step back first!" ”

The four princes surrendered and left the Qing Palace.

……

The midday sun was the most violent, from the dim place to the blazing sun, and the four princes only felt that their eyes were stinging. The cold sweat oozing from the back has not yet dried, sticking to the clothes, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Looking back at the majestic and solemn Yiqing Palace, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power, the eyes of the four princes flashed with a complicated light.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him: "The old minister has seen His Highness!" ”

The fourth prince was startled, turned around reflexively, and squeezed out a smile at the person: "Elder Lu Ge is exempt." ”

is as expensive as the four princes, and in front of the elders of the Shoufu Pavilion of the First Dynasty, he is also a little polite.

The four princes will be crowned kings in the future, far away from the center of power in the capital, and will be the king of a domain. Lu Ge Lao is the head of the civil officials. It also stands at the pinnacle of the power of Daqi.

To put it mildly, the four princes can't afford to provoke Lu Ge Lao.

Lu Ge, who is nearly sixty years old, has a wrinkled forehead, a kind face, and looks quite generous and gentle, not half aggressive: "The old minister hasn't seen His Highness go to Lu Mansion for a long time. Ziyu didn't know what he had done, but he had a dispute with His Royal Highness, and everyone knew about it. Please look at the face of the old minister, and don't be like Ziyu. When the old minister goes back, he will definitely strictly control this bastard! ”

He apologized as he spoke.

Rao is fourth prince has a thick face and a black heart, and he was almost speechless because of Lu Ge Lao's move of "retreating as advance".

Did Lu Chi tell Lu Ge the truth of the matter?

Lu Ge always pretended not to know that he deliberately said this, or did he really not know?

"The old committee of Lu Ge is honest." The fourth prince squeezed out a smile: "A moment of anger, some quarrels, not enough to worry about." Lu Ge Lao was so solemn that I was ashamed. ”

Dare to covet his eldest grandson and almost kill his granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson? Just a word of shame and shame, and you want to explain the past?

Lu Ge Lao sneered in his heart, and smiled in his mouth: "Your Highness is so magnanimous, the old minister's heart can also be put down." ”

After a bit of emptiness and wrongdoing, Lu Ge Lao entered the Yiqing Palace.

Then, Lu Ge Lao opened his mouth and admonished Emperor Jianwen: "...... The East Palace has been renovated neatly, and the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also move into the East Palace as soon as possible. ”

"The name is right! With the East Palace, the East Palace Zhan Mansion can be officially built! ”

"Moreover, all the older princes have already married families, and for the stability of the country, it is time to establish a title."

In the major affairs of the dynasty, Emperor Jianwen always had to discuss with several cabinet elders in private. When it comes to the court, the so-called playing the right court is just a show.

As Lu Ge Lao said, Emperor Jianwen had already thought about it. It's just that I didn't make up my mind before. Now that the three princes have been appointed as the crown princes, it is time to make the princes crowned as kings as soon as possible. It is also lest the princes covet the position of the crown prince, or compete with the prince for power and cause chaos.

"It's fine." Emperor Jianwen nodded slightly: "This will be discussed by the cabinet in advance, and a charter will be drawn up and submitted to the cabinet." ”

Lu Ge Lao respectfully should be.

……

After the full moon of Lu Tianyou, the great-grandson of the Lu family, Lu Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao and others went on a concert together. He invited the crown prince to move into the East Palace, and asked the Son of Heaven to crown the princes as adults.

This twist and turn was officially presented before the consecration at the great court meeting.

The Son of Heaven immediately agreed. It's just that the title is related to the fiefdom, and it is also related to the prince's vassal in the future, and it is by no means something that can be set in a moment.

The three princes moved into the East Palace, which became a trivial matter. The Ministry of Rites chooses an auspicious day, and the three princes can live in the East Palace with their wives and daughters.

For the princes to be crowned kings, the happiest is none other than the three princes.

It's good to be crowned king! Seal the king as soon as possible, and send all the brothers to the domain as soon as possible. It is also avoided to wander in front of him all day long, befriending courtiers to please Emperor Jianwen, and hindering his eyes everywhere.

Especially the four princes, whose wings have been cut off in half, still have a power that should not be underestimated. For the third prince, it is like a fish in the throat, not vomiting or unhappy.

The third prince secretly hoped that the domain of the fourth prince was the most remote, farthest and most desolate, and it was best to seal a poor place where birds don't. But I know that this is just an extravagant hope.

First, Emperor Jianwen liked the four princes the most. Second, the Yue family outside the four princes should not be underestimated, and they will definitely secretly contribute to the planning of the four princes......

I really wish that someone secretly stumbled the four princes!

At the end of September, the third prince led his wife and daughter to move into the East Palace.

At the beginning of October, the cabinet made another concert, once again asking for the crown of princes.

Emperor Jianwen officially decreed that the second prince was the king of Lu and the fief of Shandong. The four princes are the kings of Ning, and the fief is Ningxia. The fifth prince is the king of Fujian, and his fief is Fuzhou. And the seventh prince Sheng Hong is the king of Shu, fiefdom Sichuan Shu.

As soon as the will came out, everyone was shocked!
