As the prince who is closest to the king's blood, he is naturally the title of the prince of the two characters, but the fief he leads is not as good as Qi Jue's "Liangzhou", which is the emperor's temptation for the three sons other than Qi Jue.

The emperor included Qi Lang in the same Qi Xuan and Qi Jing's temptation, Qin Xun is not surprised, Qi Lang is already fourteen years old, and has always been very favored by the emperor, the emperor has never made a serious test of the favored four sons in the matter of power, and now he wants to be crowned king with his three imperial brothers, with the emperor's habit of treating his own sons, he has to go through such a formality.

What surprised Qin Xun was that the emperor directly ranked the second prince Qi Jue himself, a straightforward "Liang Zhou", a logical "King of Liang", and he didn't even give Qi Jue the opportunity to argue with his brothers in front of his father and emperor, such an obvious bias, and he was really not afraid that the second son would be dissatisfied.

Qin Xun said this to Qi Jing, and Qi Jing said: "Father's eyesight will not fail to see Qi Ruo's foolish talent, he probably did it intentionally. ”

The emperor is mostly intentional, since his sons are still young, he is deliberately treating the so-called "wise and foolish" second son, he knows the ability of each of his sons, if he pays more attention to this second son Qi Hui, the only heir he likes, Qi Jing, who has the strength to fight, Qi Jue may be Qi Jing's biggest opponent in the near future.

Qi Xuan's empty title of "eldest son succession" is actually not talented, and it is not a matter of nominally competing with Qi Jing's opponent, and the emperor even needs him to maintain the current situation when he is still in power, and does not let Qi Jing's power sit on the throne. But the emperor didn't plan to take his favorite heir seriously, so he would no longer cultivate a powerful rival from his sons to threaten Qi Jing

status, the more talented, the more cold.

In the final analysis, the emperor still treats his favorite heir Qi Jing with hard work, but he does this in order to cultivate and maintain Qi Jing, in the eyes of the staff of the three princes like Qin Xun, he is happy and happy, but in the other princes who have been wronged by the emperor's partiality, it will inevitably make them resentful.

Fortunately, for Qi Jue, he didn't care about these things, which not only saved him from worrying, but also saved his father and brother.

Among Qi Jing's imperial brothers, he will be indignant because of the emperor's partiality towards Qi Jing in court politics, and after thinking about it, he is a Qi Lang who is spoiled by the emperor in his private home.

"So what kind of answer did the three of you give to Your Majesty about the self-proposed title?" Qin Xun's posture of riding on Qi Jing's legs made him half a head taller than Qi Jing, he held Qi Jing's face with both hands, bent his eyes and smiled to enjoy such a line of sight, "My Qi Jing must be the best one to deal with!" ”

"Originally, I just wanted to deal with the past at will, my father was a self-proposing title, but in fact, in the end, he came to give the title, I didn't want to be like competing with my brother for the limelight in such trivial matters, but my father was more serious with me."

After the emperor Daoming gave the fief to the four sons, Qi Jue followed his father's wishes and asked for the title of "Prince Liang", and the remaining three princes, one was Qi Xuan, who was afraid that something would be wrong, the second was Qi Jing, who wanted to wait for the eldest brother to speak first, and the third was Qi Lang, who racked his brains in the hope that his father and brothers would be impressed, and none of the three was in a hurry to speak.

After thinking about it, Qi Xuan was a little ashamed to bow to the emperor and said: "The sons are not talented, the ordinary words are not auspicious, and the sons and daughters of virtue and talent are also ashamed, so if the father and emperor order the sons and daughters to be named by themselves, the sons and daughters think that if they take the first word of the fief 'Luoyang', they will be 'Prince Luo'." ”

was a little mediocre, but he kept to himself, and the emperor gave a sentence of "Shang Ke" with his chin head, and turned his gaze to Qi Jing.

Qi Jing calmly folded his sleeves, but it was more effective than imitating the meaning of Qi Xuan's words: "The title has always been from the name of the fief, and the sons have received the Jinling fief, so they should take the Chinese word 'Jinling' as the seal, and the word 'gold' is rich and noble, and the sons dare not be self-conscious, please be named the 'Prince of Ling'." ”

As soon as he said that, Qi Hao swept away his unclear gaze, Qi Lang sneered uncontrollably, obviously very disdainful of his bland response that was the same as his straw bale eldest brother Qi Xuan, and his heart Qi Jing was nothing more than that, and then there was a look on his face that was about to move, as if he was already ready to wait for his father to open his mouth to allow him to answer.

The emperor immediately frowned dissatisfiedly, and said to Qi Jing in a deep voice: "Think about it again." ”

Qi Jing's arm holding his sleeve stiffened slightly for a moment, and his face did not change in response.

Thinking that the emperor was asking Qi Jing to think about it on his own and wait for an answer, Qi Jing's "yes" voice did not disperse, and Qi Lang had already hurriedly spoke: "Back to the father, sons, ......" The emperor raised his hand and interrupted him.

Qi Lang was stunned, opened his mouth to look at the middle-aged emperor sitting upright behind the case, but saw that the emperor did not come over, Wu Zi pressed and twisted his eyebrows to stare at his third son, who answered unsatisfactorily, and said slowly when he heard his deep voice and invisibly exerted pressure: "Let your third emperor brother think about it again."

Think. ”

Qi Jing lowered his eyes and frowned imperceptibly.

Originally, he wanted to be fooled by such a trivial matter that he would have just asked them to go through the motions today, but he never thought that his father would be so unrelenting, this was to make up his mind and force him to suppress his three imperial brothers in the limelight today.

Is it a reminder that he should put on a show of his heir? Why bother. Qi Jing sighed very softly.

He folded his sleeves again, bowed his waist slightly, lowered his eyes to look at the overlap of his sleeves, and said lightly: "Some time ago, the ministers of Erchen patrolled the five states in the south of the Yangtze River, and after returning to Beijing, he wrote in the memorabilia with his father: There is a saying in the land of Jinling: 'The people of Shangyuan are good at business, the people of Jiangning are good at fields, the people of Longdu are good at medicine, the people of Shanqiao are good at pottery, the people of Tao Wu are good at cutting, the people of Moling are good at weaving, and the people of Doucun are good at carving'. ”
