At that time, the emperor was sitting in the imperial garden, and he was still followed by the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, you have been here for two hours, and you see that the sun is very strong at noon, so you should hurry back to the dormitory and rest." The eunuch didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he sat in the imperial garden all morning.

The emperor sat in the imperial garden with a sad face, what could he think, wasn't he worried about whether to announce the election of the crown prince.

Now that the popularity of the third prince is so high, he does have the intention of announcing the third prince as the crown prince, but some people are afraid that they will not give up, and it will be bad if anyone jumps out to make trouble.

"What do you think of the momentum of the Third Prince now?" The emperor casually asked the eunuchs beside him.

"Your Majesty, you tell the minions this, the minions don't understand, don't embarrass the minions." The eunuch didn't dare to answer this, and if he said it, he would inevitably be impeached by someone with a heart.

When the time comes, he is afraid that he will be detained for a crime of disturbing the Sacred Heart, imprisonment is a trivial matter, maybe he will have to look at it, thinking about the appearance of his head in a different place, he can't help but shudder, such a thing is really terrible to think about.

The emperor glanced at the eunuch, and saw that he was so frightened that he almost knelt down for himself, and waved his hand impatiently at the moment: "Forget it, I don't want you to say it, and I don't know where your courage to fight with me every day comes from." ”

He just asked casually, but who knew that he scared the eunuch like this, after following him for so many years, he wouldn't harm the eunuch, he was just entangled in his heart and wanted to find someone to talk to.

He got up, the eunuch hurriedly followed, and said in his heart that this ancestor finally let him go, otherwise he would have to prepare to resign, the work of serving the emperor is really not easy to do, and what people say about accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger is really true.

"You go and call my third son to my dormitory, I have something to discuss with him, and remember not to tell my third son what he just said." The emperor admonished.

He did this for the good of the eunuch, in case someone heard him say this and harmed him at that time, he didn't want to let the slave who had followed him for so many years die.

The eunuch nodded gratefully, he knew that His Majesty was kind to him, and he was also grateful for this friendship.

The eunuch quickly came to the palace of the three princes, and the subordinates in the palace enthusiastically brought him into the palace, and the three princes immediately went out to greet him as soon as they heard that the eunuchs beside their father were coming.

"My father-in-law is here, is there something my father wants my father-in-law to convey?" The third prince said politely.

"Where is the Third Highness, Your Majesty will let the servants find you to enter the palace, and it would be too much for you to say this." When the eunuch saw that the third prince was so polite, he hurriedly waved his hand.

When the third prince heard this, he hurriedly asked the housekeeper in the palace to prepare a carriage, but the eunuch said that the carriage in the palace had been waiting outside for a long time, and the third prince didn't call the carriage anymore when he heard it, and left directly in the carriage in the palace.

This time it really changed the fate of a country.

The carriage swayed for half an hour, and as soon as the two got out of the carriage, the eunuch hurriedly took the three princes to the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was already impatient to wait at the moment, he was simply restless, he didn't expect it to take so long to call someone, he knew that he would go to the Third Prince's Mansion and tell the Third Prince directly, where is it so troublesome.

Just as he was thinking about it, the third prince walked in.

As soon as he entered, the third prince knelt down and saluted the emperor: "The sons and daughters see their father." ”

"Get up, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The emperor waved his hand and asked the three princes to sit beside him.

Seeing this, the guards outside the door cleverly closed the door, and His Majesty saw that there was something important to discuss, and they had to guard the dormitory.

"Your prestige in the court is really higher than that of me." The emperor meant something, and his eyes inadvertently looked at the son beside him.

The third prince was humble: "It's all the father's emperor who takes a fancy to the sons, and the father, you are the king of a country, the ruler of this country, and the sons and daughters do all this because of your father's teaching." Erchen does not seek to leave a name in history, only to ask the people to live and work in peace and contentment, father, you can live longer than Nanshan, this is the best thing for you, for the sons, and for the people. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, not arrogant or impatient, this is what a prince should have, as an emperor, he must be decisive when necessary, and have the calmness of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face.

"You are a son that I am quite satisfied with, and as my son, you may inherit my throne in the future, so the burden on your body will be heavy, are you afraid?" The emperor stared at him with burning eyes.

"Erchen is not afraid! Father can go all the way to the present, as your son, the son is naturally not afraid, the son will put the people first, and will never let the father down. ”

The third prince said loudly, when he was recognized by the ministers of the court, he realized what his fate would be, he was not afraid, because behind him were the people, he would not lose, for the sake of this country, for the sake of those who believed in him, he would not lose!

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and waved his big hand: "Come on, draft the will!" ”

He also admired this son's temperament, and moved forward bravely, as if nothing could hinder him, looking at this son, he was like seeing himself when he was young, and ascended to the throne with the spirit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the three princes have meritorious service in disaster relief, and have good guidance in the border war, I remember their humility and courtesy, not arrogant and impatient, meritorious service in the community, and grace to the people, and is the best candidate for the prince, so the three princes are crowned princes, and I hope that they can continue to serve the people wholeheartedly in the future and become a good monarch, Qinci!" The eunuch's shrill voice finished reading the decree.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and handed the holy decree to the third prince with his own hands.

The third prince knelt on the ground, holding the holy decree in both hands: "Son, thank your father." ”

His hands trembled slightly, and finally, he ascended to the throne of the crown prince! His efforts were not in vain, he did it!

The emperor personally helped the person up and patted him on the shoulder: "Go back, I will immediately announce the news to the world." ”

The third prince nodded and left the palace with the holy decree.

Before leaving, the little eunuch congratulated him with a smile, today is a big day, the third prince was very happy, so he gave the eunuch the jade pendant he carried.

The eunuch was overjoyed with the jade pendant, the texture of this jade pendant was first-class at a glance, and it seemed that the third prince was too happy today to reward him with such a valuable thing.

On the other side, Concubine Zhuang also received the holy decree after the sealing, she looked at the holy decree in front of her with tears in her eyes, and she did not return to her senses for a long time.

"Niangniang, come back to your senses, hurry up and receive the holy decree." The grandmother beside Concubine Zhuang said to her with a smile.

Concubine Zhuang nodded, stretched out her hand and took the holy decree: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

Her mood could not be calmed for a long time, her son was now the crown prince, and she became the queen.

Mama was so excited to see Concubine Zhuang that she could only take some gold leaves and give them to the eunuch, and said some good things, asking the eunuch to go back and report to the emperor.

The eunuch smiled and agreed, and left with the gold leaf.

Mama turned around, and Concubine Zhuang pulled her excitedly: "Mama, this palace is not dreaming, is this palace now the queen?!" ”

"Eh, my mother, you are the queen now, and the emperor even handed over the phoenix seal to you, what else do you not believe." Mama handed the phoenix seal to Concubine Zhuang.

Concubine Zhuang held the phoenix seal, and the unsteady feeling in her heart gradually came to fruition, which symbolized her identity as the queen.

She couldn't help crying excitedly, her son became the crown prince, and her mother became the queen with her son, and what she thought was out of reach in this life just got into her hands, which made her feel sad for a while.

"Niangniang, what are you crying on such a good day, wipe your tears, the concubines in the harem will come to worship you after a while, it's not appropriate for you to cry like this." Mama hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.

On a good day, it's not good to cry, so naturally you have to be happy.

After a while, the concubines of the harem all gathered over: "Congratulations to Niangniang for becoming the queen, see the queen's mother." ”

Concubine Zhuang looked at the kneeling concubine below, and waved her hand: "Get up, we will still be sisters in the future, and we will be taken care of by your sisters." ”

"What did my sister say?" The concubines hurriedly waved their hands.

Concubine Zhuang has now become the queen, even if there are people who are jealous of her, they don't dare to act rashly, they are queens, and it is not a matter of a word to deal with them.

The concubines gave the things they brought to Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Zhuang also asked her subordinates to return the gift, and it was a more valuable gift than the concubines brought.

She didn't plan to give anyone a horse on the day after the seal, she didn't stretch out her hand to hit the smiling person, she gave these concubines some benefits, and these people would not be embarrassed with her in the future.

The news that the third prince was named the crown prince and Concubine Zhuang was named the queen soon spread throughout the country, and the people were talking about it for a while.

"Hey, have you heard, the third prince has been named the crown prince." The people on the side of the road were discussing loudly.

"But no, the third prince has done so many good things for our people, and he should be the crown prince." A crowd laughed.

Compared with the three princes and Concubine Zhuang, the people are the happiest, and the person they love has ascended to the throne of the crown prince, and the three princes will definitely become a Ming monarch in the future.

After the three princes became the crown princes, they were even more considerate of the people, and put forward a series of policies that were implemented, and now the people of the whole country are full of praise for the three princes, and even the emperor and Concubine Zhuang are also sought after by many people.

When the emperor heard such news, he also said sourly: "It turns out that I am only incidental." ”

This sentence also made the ministers in the court laugh for a long time, but I didn't expect the emperor to have such a childish side,

And the eunuch next to the emperor pouted, this old guy started again, it was clear that he was going to make the prince at that time, but now he is starting to be jealous, he doesn't know what to say.

In short, the three princes became the crown princes, and Concubine Zhuang ascended to the throne, which is the desire of the people.

After Concubine Zhuang ascended to the throne, the first thing was to rectify the harem, because many harem concubines love to eat bird's nest, but bird's nest is an extremely valuable thing, not everyone can eat it, so many concubines fought for a bowl of bird's nest, so Concubine Zhuang canceled the diet of bird's nest.

The concubines were in a hurry at the moment, and ran to her dormitory one by one to complain.

"Queen Mother, I know that you are trying to spur us, but you will stop listening to this bird's nest, and you have not asked our opinion, are you too arbitrary." A concubine knelt on the ground and appealed bitterly.

Concubine Zhuang sneered: "This palace is arbitrary? Tell me, the bird's nest sent to you every day, but you eat it cleanly every day? This palace asks you again, some time ago there was a famine outside, but you were eating bird's nest in the palace, and you wasted it every day if you couldn't finish it, did you ever think that the people outside the palace couldn't even eat! ”

She slapped the table, not angry, the concubines kneeling on the ground were choked, they would indeed pour out the bird's nest that they couldn't eat every day, but as soon as the bird's nest stopped, what should they do.

Now eating bird's nest has become a kind of identity comparison between concubines, and they naturally don't want to let bird's nest disappear.

Concubine Zhuang looked at everyone's expressions, some of the concubines had been shaken, she sighed, and stood up with the help of the big palace maid beside her, and she reached out to help one of the concubines beside her.

"This palace knows that you must be unwilling in your hearts, but instead of eating that bird's nest, it is better not to eat him, so that Your Majesty can see that we are also doing our part, and Your Majesty will definitely reward us at that time." Concubine Zhuang's trick of winning people's hearts is very good.

As soon as the concubines heard this, they could gain His Majesty's favor, and they all expressed their attitudes without saying a word, and some concubines also took out their private money to Concubine Zhuang and asked her to hand it over to the emperor on her behalf.

Concubine Zhuang took the silver in her hand with tears in the corners of her eyes: "Your sisters are really touched by this palace, Your Majesty will be very pleased to know that you will do this, sisters rest assured, these silver will definitely be on the right path!" ”

The concubines she said were also embarrassed, they are also a part of this country, who doesn't want their country to become stronger and stronger, even if Concubine Zhuang is using these words to make them stop making trouble, they also admit it, just think of it as a good deed for the people of the world.

It didn't take long for the emperor to learn about the harem, and he happily rewarded the harem concubines at the moment, of course, in the end, Concubine Zhuang was the most favored by the emperor.

On the second day, when he went to court, the emperor praised Concubine Zhuang in the court, and even the faces of the three princes were bright.

When the ministers heard that the women in the harem could contribute to the country, they naturally couldn't be compared, so they donated a lot of money under the leadership of the three princes.

Not only that, the style of thrift prevailed in the country, from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the common people.

The emperor was very happy to hear the news, and said that he had a good vision, and chose the third prince as the crown prince, and also chose Concubine Zhuang as a virtuous queen, the eunuchs around him had long been tired of hearing this, and immediately rolled his eyes, Your Majesty is like this, and any credit must be taken from himself openly and secretly.
