Chapter 401: The Great Prince's Hatred

King Yan waved his hand and said to the catcher at the door, "Let's take it down first." Soon, Wu Shangshu and others, who were kneeling in the court, were taken down.

The assassination case came to an end for the time being, and Li Yun under the Yan Dynasty said to Li Yue, "The assassination case has finally come to light, and the widow can be regarded as seeking justice for the two of you, Li Yun, after Lao Jiu's investigation, you really have nothing to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty, although you have some involvement with the previous dynasty, but the widow thinks that you went to the battlefield for Dayan to fight in the northern region and protect my Yanbei, the widow will not blame the past, if there is another war in Dayan, I hope you can still serve Dayan again." ”

Li Yun and Li Yue both stood up and saluted the first King of Yan and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”

King Yan waved his hand, Li Yun and Li Yue stood up and returned to their positions, and then King Yan continued to speak, "The widow called several border generals back, because there is another if, that is, the matter of the prince, after all, the widow is also old, and he is a little uncomfortable, it is time for the prince to find a suitable heir to help the widow, what do you think?" ”

How can the people above the court have different thoughts, and no one stood up to speak for a while, King Yan suddenly proposed the matter of establishing a prince at this time, but he completely excluded the third prince and the eldest prince, and the third prince was still imprisoned in his own mansion and waited for the fate behind closed doors, at this time, who in the third prince's party dared to stand up and say that the third prince was suitable?

At this time, the eldest prince was also desperate, and he had just been ordered to wait for the third prince to wait behind closed doors like the third prince, how could it be his turn?

The third prince and his party looked at the fourth prince who was still in the court, and finally someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness is low-key and calm, friendly and brotherly, and is a good candidate." ”

One person spoke, and the silence of this time was finally broken, and someone followed and stood up, "Your Highness Qiqi, His Royal Highness Nine cares about the people of Dayan, at the end of last year, His Highness Nine did his best to understand the danger of Dayan, and made extraordinary achievements, Weichen felt that His Highness Nine was a more suitable candidate." ”

Everyone in the court began to say the candidates in their hearts one by one, but no one mentioned the eldest prince and the third prince, the eldest prince stood quietly in his position with his head down, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of hatred.

However, no one mentioned Yan Thirteen, after all, they all knew that they supported Yan Jiuyi's party, and what Yan Thirteen was most afraid of was that King Yan would let him inherit the throne, and Yan Thirteen was also a loyal supporter of Yan Jiu.

But there are always people who stand up and speak out on their own in order to please the king, after all, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty basically know that if you want to say that the son of King Yan is really in his heart, it is Yan Shisan.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Thirteenth can go to the border of Yanxi alone when he is in danger and keep Yanxi, this kind of feat is really singable and crying, and it will last forever, Weichen feels that His Royal Highness the Thirteenth is the best candidate to inherit the throne."

It's just that the minister who thinks he can please King Yan finished speaking, and the candidate he supports stood up and slapped him in the face unceremoniously, "Who said that His Royal Highness went to the Yanxi border to help the Yanxi army fight?" His Royal Highness went to chase my prince and concubine, but unfortunately there was a border war, don't give His Royal Highness a high hat. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very speechless when they heard this, as soon as Yan Shisan's words came out, those who originally had the same intention to support Yan Shisan to please King Yan finally closed their mouths, this party is so unmotivated, where do they continue to talk.

King Yan's face darkened even more when he heard this, he glared at Yan Shisan dissatisfiedly, and scolded lightly, "It's useless, shut your mouth for me." It was also a reprimand, but when he scolded Yan Shisan, he heard a kind of father's helplessness for his son who did not seek progress.

Yan Shisan's reaction, but it was also different from the eldest prince, if it was other princes, listening to King Yan's scolding at this time, I am afraid that he would have already knelt down to ask for guilt, such as the eldest prince, but Yan Shisan not only knelt down to ask for guilt, but also muttered, "Shut up, just shut up, I don't want to speak." ”

King Yan pointed at Yan Shisan angrily and said, "You, you, you take your daughter-in-law and children out of the palace for me, don't stay in the palace and get in my way." ”

It is only when you talk to the people you care about, you can even forget the self-proclaimed widow, just like an ordinary two fathers and sons quarreling, everyone is silent and does not speak, watching the thirteenth prince play treasure with King Yan, this kind of thing is not the first time it has happened, but even if King Yan is angry again, he still spoils the thirteenth prince the same after that.

Yan Shisan listened to King Yan's words, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay, what you said, you are not allowed to go back, my father and sons also think that the ninth brother is suitable to inherit the throne, at least the ninth brother will not use selfish means against his own brother." ”

Seeing that Yan Shisan shifted the topic to the main topic, even if King Yan was angry, it was not good to continue to attack in this court, so he had to suppress the urge to throw Yan Shisan with something, take a deep breath, and calm himself down a little before opening his mouth to the old general Zhou who was standing at the top and said, "What does the old general think?" ”

General Zhou is above the court, and his influence on a group of generals is well known, and King Yan has already discussed with General Zhou many times, of course he knows General Zhou's thoughts, and when he asks about General Zhou at this time, it is just a formality, after all, General Zhou's position has an extraordinary influence on this court minister.

Old General Zhou stated his position, "The old minister feels that His Royal Highness the Ninth is mature and steady, and he is worthy of a heavy responsibility because he takes Dayan as the most important thing in everything. ”

As soon as General Zhou's words were finished, King Yan nodded and responded, "Lao Jiu's performance, the widow also sees it in his eyes, he is very pleased, it is indeed the best candidate, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for preparing the edict of the prince, and presenting it to the widow as soon as possible, and then the edict will be announced to the world." ”

"No."

"Do you have any objections?"

In the end, the three princes and a party of people stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that it is still a bit hasty to make a conclusion on this matter so quickly, and it is still necessary to investigate and take a look before making a conclusion." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is related to the future rise and fall of Dayan, don't jump to conclusions in such a hurry."

"Your Majesty, the prosperity of the heirs is also a key point to consider for the establishment of the prince, His Royal Highness the Ninth has not yet married a wife, and there is no heir, it is really inappropriate to establish a prince at this time."

"Don't be hasty at this time, think twice."

……

This one person spoke out, but half of the people stood up, and among these half of the people, of course, there were most of the three princes, and some of them were attracted by the eldest prince before, at this time, thinking that since so many people stood up, they would also stand up, if they could drag it out, and wait until the assassination was over, maybe there would be a chance.

And King Yan finally remembered that Yan Jiu had not yet married, before he inadvertently asked Guan Hai, saying that although Yan Jiu did not have a wife, but there were a lot of beauties in the house, at this time, a minister mentioned the heir, and King Yan also had a trace of worry in his heart, so many beauties, there is no heir, will there be any problems?

This made King Yan also hesitate a little, and felt that he still had to investigate again, at least marry Yan Jiu a wife first, so he said, "Then this matter is temporarily suppressed, and the widow will investigate it again, a few Aiqing, what is the difference in the border during this time?" ”

Next, King Yan asked a few more generals about the situation on the border, and discussed some other state affairs, when Li Yue was standing next to Li Yun, drowsy and about to fall asleep leaning on Li Yun, Guan Hai's shrill voice finally came, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

Li Yue was excited, and finally woke up a little from drowsiness, and followed everyone to send off the king.

Waiting for the dispersal of the dynasty, many people were depressed and dispersed one after another, of course, many people came over to congratulate Li Yun and Li Yue on their grievances and revenge, which made Li Yun and Li Yue very bored, Li Yue originally wanted to call the arrogant Yan Thirteen to come over and drive these annoying people away, I didn't want to wait for Li Yue to look left and right, where to see Yan Thirteen, Yan Jiu who came over saw Li Yue's eyes looking around, so he smiled lightly and said, "Don't look for it, Thirteen will go to pick up his daughter-in-law out of the palace as soon as he disperses." ”

This Yan Jiuyi came over, but he didn't expect it to have the effect of Yan Thirteen, those who originally came up to stutter, many people saw Yan Thirteen coming, so they obediently left and walked outside the hall.

At this time, General Zhou also came over next to Li Yun and Li Yue, followed by General Zhou Xiao and General Su, Li Yun and Li Yue were busy saluting General Zhou Lai, General Zhou smiled and waved his hand, and said, "If you have time to go to the mansion to sit, you young people are chatting, and the old man will go back first." With that, he left.

General Zhou Xiao looked at a few people and said with a smile, "Looking for a place to have a drink?" ”

Li Yue nodded and responded, "Okay, let's get out of the palace first." ”

Then a few generals came to talk to Li Yun, all of them were Li Yun's brothers who had fought together on the battlefield in the Northern Regions, and this time because King Yan summoned him back to the court, Li Yun also showed a rare smile on his face to people other than Li Yue.

After that, the group left the pilgrimage hall with a smile, and the eldest prince and the fourth prince in the back looked at the group of people who left, their eyes were cold, and their eyes were full of jealousy.

These two people who were originally standing on opposite sides stood together, and the fourth prince was the first to speak, "Big brother, let's talk together." ”

The eldest prince replied in a low voice, "Okay, let's get out of the palace first." With that, he walked towards the outside of the temple, and the fourth prince followed closely.

Li Yun and his entourage went to Tianxiang Building, and in the private room on the second floor, there was hearty laughter from time to time, all of them were people who had fought on the battlefield, and they seemed to have endless words, chatting about the situation when they fought side by side, about defeat and victory, about the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, sometimes sad, sometimes happy.

Among the group, although Yan Jiu had not fought with them on the battlefield, everyone did not exclude him, because when they were fighting on the battlefield, Yan Jiu had always been their most solid backing, military salaries, grain and grass, and reinforcements, all of which Yan Jiu was worried about preparing for them.
