Chapter 220: The Prince
Jin Fengju smiled and said, "You don't have to persuade me tactfully, I really want to open it." "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Fa" How to do it in the future, I naturally have a number in my heart. It's not early, go to sleep. After speaking, he closed his eyes and gradually slowed down his breathing, and sure enough, after a while, he heard Fu Qiuning's breathing gradually even. Only then did he open his eyes and look at the silhouette of his wife in the dark, that face was obviously delicate and soft, but it had the power to calm people's hearts.
When I came to the court room on the second day, I saw many courtiers talking in low voices. Although he did not get involved, he could not help but listen attentively, but he heard many people talking about the establishment of the reserve. I couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly said that when we saw the driver yesterday, we obviously didn't know any letter in advance, and the emperor also told me not to make a noise when I left. Why is it so fast, all the officials seem to know? And judging by this, they seemed to know who they were going to appoint as princes.
Because while thinking, he looked around for Prince Rong's figure, but after looking around, he didn't find this brother-in-law, and while he was relieved, he couldn't help but be suspicious. Suddenly, he saw the military department Shangshu coming over, his face was full of pride, and he smiled: "The little marquis is looking for Prince Rong?" Then you're bothered. Last night, as soon as we left, Prince Rong and Prince Lie entered the palace, and by this time, they hadn't seen anyone yet. ”
Jin Fengju was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that the emperor had already opened his hole cards to the two princes? Oh, I don't know how my brother-in-law is doing now, no...... No, if this hole card is to be revealed, why should the emperor come to get it himself? Could it be that as Qiu Ning said, the emperor also wants to see the reaction of the two princes? By the way, probe us officials? If that were the case, then I was thankful I didn't go out last night.
was thinking about it in a mess in his heart, when he heard the sound of whipping in front of the main hall, so the civil and military officials hurriedly lined up to enter the court. Jin Fengju secretly looked at everyone's faces, only to feel that Prince Lie and his party were full of joy, and those close to him and Prince Rong couldn't help but be a little depressed. But on the surface, it's okay, and you can't see it if you don't look closely. The second uncle's steps are also very calm. Thinking of this, this old man was afraid that he also got the news last night or this morning. I can't help but ask myself, this concentration is indeed something I have to admire.
There are also a few people, such as the gray-haired Zhenjiang prince and others, whose faces are indifferent. Prince Hong has gone to Shandong. Even if they are okay now, they will have to be liquidated one by one in the future. But they don't know how many stumbling blocks they have put on Prince Rong and Prince Lie, and they can't even make grass on the wall.
After entering the Qiankun Hall and standing still, I saw that Prince Lie and Prince Rong were already standing at the bottom of the steps. This was followed by a chanting: "The emperor has arrived." So the hundred officials knelt down under the leadership of the two princes. The sound of the mountain calling long live is endless.
The emperor came to sit on the dragon seat, and inadvertently glanced at his sons below, and saw that their eyes were red, obviously they hadn't slept all night. At this time, there was a bit of a dazed look on his face. He couldn't help but sigh. First of all, he asked about the performance of the hundred officials, and when he saw that there was no performance, he said earnestly: "I am already the year of knowing the destiny of heaven. In recent years, I feel that my physical strength and spirit are not as good as before. Moreover, ~~.cn-update debut~~ The position of the prince has been hanging for a long time, and it is not a good strategy. Therefore, yesterday I consulted with a few good ministers who governed the country. Finally, the candidate for the prince was given. ”
After he finished speaking, seeing that his two sons looked up in amazement, he waved his hand to the eunuch Li Dezheng next to him and said, "You make an order." ”
Li Dezheng walked forward, Rao is he followed the emperor's side, heard too many earth-shattering things, and practiced a good concentration, but at this time he couldn't help but be full of excitement, even his hands trembled, and it was easy to calm down, so he unfolded the holy decree and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Prince Zhao You, has always been diligent and self-controlled, benevolent, filial piety and virtue......"
Li Dezheng was reading something in the back, and Prince Rong Zhao Lun couldn't hear it at all. He looked at his father in shock, and only woke up when the emperor's sharp gaze fell on his face. Lowering his head, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, but his mind was at a loss, and he turned over and over with one sentence: "That's it?" That's it? ”
After Li Dezheng finished reciting the holy decree, he also sighed in his heart, he has always been close to Prince Rong. Now that the emperor has set up Prince Lie, it seems that after a hundred years of the emperor, he will either be martyred or guarded by the mausoleum. But it's nothing, following the emperor for so many years, this life is also wonderful, even if you die, it will not be in vain to live this life, not to mention that the emperor said that his health is not good, but in fact, he is still healthy, and it seems that it will not be a problem to live for another seven or eight years. I still have a few years to live, what are you afraid of?
"Erchen...... The son-in-law thanked his father for his father's favor, and the son-in-law will definitely redouble his efforts and never disappoint his father's trust...... "Compared to Prince Rong's composure because of his dazedness. Prince Lie was a little overjoyed. After a few steps to the bottom of the steps and knelt down, he took Li Dezheng's holy decree with both hands, although he told himself to be calm and not get carried away, he still blushed with excitement, and his body shook as if he was swinging.
"This matter is settled, do you have any opinions?"
The emperor's voice brought back Prince Rong's sanity, and at the same time, Prince Lie's. Almost subconsciously, he glanced back, and the cruel smile in his eyes flashed: Hmph! From today on, this king will be the prince, see who dares to oppose me? It doesn't matter if I oppose me, now I naturally have to make a polite corporal appearance, but when this king ascends the throne, hum......
Although he only looked back for a moment, he didn't see the emperor's thoughtful gaze because he was looking down.
"Since all the ministers have no opinions, and there is nothing to play, then retreat. Prince Rong stayed. After the emperor had finished speaking, he stood up and walked backwards, but Prince Lie and his courtiers in the main hall looked at Prince Rong at the same time, and saw him following behind the emperor, so laughter and sighs rang out at the same time.
"Feng Ju is worried about my fourth brother?" Seeing that all the ministers had withdrawn from the main hall, the only Jin Fengju was still standing silently, looking at the road leading to the apse, Prince Zhao Youzhi was so proud that he couldn't help but pace Shi Shiran to him, and asked with a smile.
"Lord Wang, oh no...... Now it's time to call the prince His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Jin Fengju bowed slightly unhurriedly: "Prince Rong was summoned by the emperor, what is the minister worried about?" It's just that I haven't seen my sister for a few days, and I haven't written any letters, so I'm hesitating, are I waiting here to ask about the current situation of my sister Wangye? Or come back to visit the door another day. ”
Even if Prince Lie wanted to peel off Jin Fengju's skin and bones, he couldn't help but admire the other party's determination at this time. Thinking of the money and power of the Jin family, thinking of this young young man who has been in front of his father for several years, coupled with the fact that he has just become the crown prince, his heart is full of spring breeze and pride, Zhao You, who has always been eager to repay him, has a rare heart of love. Staring at Jin Fengju, he smiled like a spring breeze, and whispered: "Fengju's talent is known to the world, and even his father has a lot to rely on. In the past, you were my fourth brother who won souls, but I can't say this. Now I am the crown prince. From now on, this king is the king, you are the minister, Fengju, are you willing to assist this king with all your heart? ”
Jin Fengju has really believed what Fu Qiuning said until now. felt that the emperor's intention was to test the character of the remaining two princes. Otherwise, with the ability and character of this Prince Lie, how could he get the king's blue eyes and become the crown prince? This is not out of the main hall yet, although there is no one around, but he dares to get so carried away and claim to be the king in the future, which is too arrogant.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled. But as long as I am the monarch of Daning, Feng Ju, as a courtier, should naturally do his best. He slandered in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and even gave a deep salute. So Prince Lie felt satisfied, reached out and patted Jin Fengju's shoulder, and left laughing. Here Jin Fengju thought about it, sighed, and then stepped out of the main hall.
I didn't know how long I waited outside the palace gate before I saw Prince Rong Zhao Lun come out. Jin Fengju hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to speak, but when he saw his brother-in-law's eyes that were a little moist in an instant, he didn't know what to say.
"Fengju, it seems that this time your family is going to be affected by this king." Zhao Lun didn't know what to say, his lips moved for a long time, but he said such a sentence, and then he sighed, shook his head and walked forward.
"Don't say this kind of thing, what is not involved? It is the glory of the Jin family to have a daughter to marry the prince, even if it is a loss, it will never regret it. At this time, he couldn't say anything to comfort Zhao Lun, and Fu Qiuning's knowledge couldn't be said. Therefore, Jin Fengju is just firmly expressing his heart. Sure enough, when the words fell, he saw that Zhao Lun's complexion softened a little, but his eyes were more moist, which made him worry that the next moment, this brother-in-law with a true temperament would throw himself into his arms and cry.
"What did the emperor ask when he summoned his brother-in-law?" Back in Prince Rong's mansion, in Zhao Lun's study, Jin Fengju was sent back to the left and right, and then he asked the doubts in his heart.
Zhao Lun frowned, and said annoyedly: "Asked me about the current situation in the house, and let me continue to do my job in the future, assist the eighth child, and so on." After speaking, he heard Jin Fengju step up and asked, "How did the brother-in-law answer?" ”
Zhao Lun smiled bitterly: "How else can I answer?" said that the wives and concubines in the house are harmonious, the children are fine, the fourth child is still studying hard, and the other brothers are not good at reading, but it is okay to ride horses and shoot arrows. What else can I do if I say yes? ”
Jin Fengju nodded, looked at Prince Rong and said, "Brother-in-law only found out about this news early this morning, right?" I guess your heart is shaken, is this okay to answer in front of the emperor? No incoherent words, right? ”
