Looking at the lonely back of his son when he left, he suddenly remembered the words of the first emperor, "Son, when you become the emperor, you will know, the emperor is not a beauty in the world, it has always been the most bitter work in the world, the most embarrassing position, and it will make you lose everything." ”

He understood, he understood it a long time ago, but there was no turning back.

A few days later, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee again wrote a letter proposing Li Wenxi as the prince, and many people seconded the proposal this time, almost more than 70%.

There are also people in the queen's party who argue for Li Wenjin as the crown prince, but the voice is too small, even Li Wenhao's foreign family has supported Li Wenxi, and the clan has also recognized Li Wenxi, and this time he won a big victory.

Half a month later, the emperor was recognized by all the court officials, and issued an edict to appoint Li Wenxi as the crown prince, and Li Wenjin and Li Wenhao were defeated.

At the same time, the edict was also issued by the twelve princes, who were also made kings, and asked the Ministry of Industry to build the palace for the twelve.

The dust of the crown prince has settled, and the day of worship has been chosen.

The queen vomited blood and fell ill, Li Wenjin was drunk at home for several days, and had to prepare mentally because he wanted to marry the princess Yan family.

When proposing the candidate for the crown prince this time, the Yan family also made a contribution, but they did not do their best as they imagined, and Li Wenjin gave birth to two sons, and the affairs of men and women were not clear, which had a lot to do with it.

He handled the relationship very badly, even if the queen has the ability to reach the sky, she can't act on behalf of her son to make everyone like.

In addition to Li Wenjin, the most praised person this time is probably Li Wenhao, who not only received unanimous praise and recognition from the clan, but even gained a good reputation because of his initiative to retreat, avoiding complications in the matter of establishing the prince, and taking into account the overall situation.

The courtiers also increased their good impression of him and recognized him a lot, and the former neutral people were also willing to deal with him, which is also the reason why the prince has decided.

Some officials who are too slippery have an account in their hearts, the position of the crown prince is decided, but we don't necessarily have to get up, we must know who is the emperor and who is the current master, but Li Wenhao does not have this burden, and it doesn't matter if he comes and goes.

Prince, sometimes it's also very sensitive, there are many famous halls here.

Li Wenhao also got the approval of the Wang family because of this incident, and the old man Wang personally dragged him to drink, took the initiative to apologize, and spoke for him in the court.

After all, it is the civilian officials who govern the country, and Prime Minister Wang, as a high-ranking minister, has an account in his heart about the transfer of officials in the DPRK and China, and this military general can't help much.

And Li Wenhao's grandfather has a clear attitude this time, a fair position and a clear vision, and once again won the emperor's appreciation and admiration, thinking that he is a rib minister, loyal, although he has retired, but still often enters the palace to listen to his opinions.

is not in the center of power, the old man is more clear, not about people, his position is clearer, and he looks at things more objectively, but he is more and more relied on by the emperor.

Sometimes he can't talk to the prime minister, but he is willing to call the old man into the palace to play chess and drink tea, and tell the sullenness in his heart.

Li Wenhao has not been very busy recently, resting at home, closing the door to greet guests, very low-key, and not in a hurry to recruit court officials, and living as always.

"Brother Hao, do you regret it?"

Jingfu looked at him with distress.

Li Wenhao smiled, "Silly girl, since I did it, I figured it out by myself, I have talked seriously with my eighth uncle and seventh uncle, doing things for the country and the people, not only the emperor can do it, I should not limit myself to power and fame, but do things for the people in a down-to-earth manner, and guard the stability of the court."

The most important thing is that I can't sacrifice everything for the sake of power, I don't have much I just want to grab what I have in my hand and not be snatched away by others, my mother has told me since I was a child, keep your own things first, don't be greedy. ”

"Brother Hao, I said that I would support you, as long as you want, I will support you."

Jingfu's eyes were red, and there was consideration for himself in his concession, which made her feel moved, guilty, and struggling.

"I know, but then I will lose you, I don't want to face that situation, now I feel very happy, I don't dare to be greedy, I want the world and love, that's impossible. My mother is the biggest victim, and she is also a victim one after another. ”

If my father can't have it both ways, then he can't do it himself, so don't have any illusions.

"Brother Hao, I will always be with you, really."

Jingfu threw herself into his arms and cried, this man was worth everything, she was not wrong.

"Fool, this is moving, the emperor's position is not a good errand, since I was a child, my mother told me that in addition to the emperor's harem, the outside world is very big, more exciting than I imagined, don't be a little family and only stare at the emperor's position."

"Well said, Brother Hao, you have finally grown up."

An old voice came from the doorway.

As soon as the two of them looked up and found that Old Man Wang had come to the door, Jingfu and Li Wenhao hurriedly got up to greet them.

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

Li Wenhao smiled and stepped forward to help the old man into the house.

"Oh, I played a game of chess with the emperor and came out, isn't this just for you to wander around, I thought that you would inevitably lose your position as the crown prince, but I never thought that you were better than I thought."

Old Man Wang looked at him with a smile on his face, feeling very proud and gratified.

Jingfu saluted and went out to pour tea, washed her face by the way, and cried just now.

The two of them were talking in the house, but it was rare to have such a casual and relaxed chat.

"Actually, I felt irritated very early on, it took too much time and energy to always intrigue like this, but I didn't do anything that made me feel proud, and it was completely different from the feeling of being in the southwest.

Although it was hard work and scheming at that time, everyone was for the same goal, to protect the family and defend the country and go back alive, it was very hard but extremely fulfilling and happy, and every day was very energetic. But now I don't know what to do every day.

Busy staring at this, busy fighting that, I haven't done a single practical thing, Du Chen found a silver mine, I thought I could do something for the court, my father gave the opportunity to the eldest brother, which made me think a lot.

I don't think it's as good as Du Chen, who can do something practical for the people when he goes out, and he has a bright face when he says it, but we, the princes, haven't done a few great things. ”

Li Wenhao was young and vigorous, and when he was ambitious in business, he was very tired of fighting for a long time, and he was unwilling to live such a boring life.

After the eighth prince did not hesitate to teach, talked earnestly, and talked to him from the bottom of his heart, let Li Wenhao have an epiphany, is life more than an emperor's choice.

There are so many things that can be done, the outside world is very exciting and vast, why bother to be trapped in this one-third of an acre of land, you have to hang yourself.

The eighth prince has even been to the other side of the sea, talking about experiences and interesting things, he is talking eloquently, his vision and knowledge have made Li Wenhao admire, and he suddenly feels that he is a frog at the bottom of the well, fighting for the throne all day long, the key is that his father is healthy.

This time it was transparent, I understood what the path I should take, and I was sober.
