The lights lit up.

Hundreds of butter candles illuminate the hall.

Some of the courtiers closed their eyes and rested, while others gathered together and whispered.

The news of Taiyuan Palace kept coming.

"Your Majesty is still not sober."

"I've been asleep for eight hours, what can I do?"

"Will it not wake up?"

"It's hard to say!"

"When are we going to wait?"

"Look at Zhang Xiang's appearance, do you dare to go? I'm afraid that if I don't decide, I won't disperse. ”

There are also close people who exchange messages in a whisper.

"Master Li, who do you think is better?"

"Naturally, it is subject to divine will."

"It's all this time, don't hide it, the fourth prince, have you dealt with it?"

"Hehe......"

There are even more people who discuss it sincerely.

"King Li'an really doesn't look like it! Whether this leg can be good or not, I can't say for sure yet. ”

"But the four princes...... It's not very suitable, Guolai Changjun, there is a ready-made example in Nanchu! ”

"Not bad! The Chu family has now completely lost power, and it is only a matter of time before the Tang family usurps the throne. ”

"You can't go this way, absolutely not."

"If you don't set up four princes, only King An will choose alone."

"Alas, if only a suitable person fell from the sky......"

"You just dream!"

Someone hurried over outside.

"Wake up, wake up, Your Majesty wake up!"

The courtiers were overjoyed and wanted to follow Zhang Qi to visit.

But before they could finish gathering, news came from there: "Your Majesty only drank a few sips of water and fell asleep again." ”

The breath that the ministers had just gathered dispersed again.

"Can you wake up? If we don't wake up, we'll just keep waiting? ”

"That's right! Besides, if the saint is like this, he is really awake, can he still make decisions? ”

"That's right! The Holy One can't really come to his senses, so there's no point in us waiting. ”

The ministers had their own thoughts, except for those who supported Zhang Qi, and their opinions were surprisingly unanimous.

In the end, someone finally spoke: "Zhang Xiang, we can't wait endlessly." What's more, the decree had to be sealed by the government hall before it could take effect. If we want to set up the four princes, even if it is really sacred, if it is not suitable, we have to fight back. You say yes, right? ”

"Exactly." Someone chimed in, "Xia Guan believes in Zhang Xiang, but it is really inappropriate to set up four princes." Nanchu Yinjian is not far away, Zhang Xiang definitely doesn't want to take on the reputation of acting as the Duke of the Kingdom in vain, right? ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was simply heartbreaking.

The hall was silent, and everyone looked at Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi darkened his face and said that he supported the four princes, did he want to control the government and empty the imperial power?

Even if that's the case, isn't it a slap in the face to throw words out like this?

Without him having to speak, the officials under his command had already fired back.

"The establishment of the four princes is in accordance with the law of etiquette, Lord Liang is so messing around, deliberately bringing it to a crooked place, what is his intention?"

"Where is this official messing around? Isn't that the case? What is Nan Chu like now, do you still use this official to say it? ”

"You-"

"How? But if you want to do it? ”

Both sides blushed and had thick necks, as if they were going to immediately roll up their sleeves and fight.

Well, things are coming back in circles.

Whether it is King An or the four princes, they all have shortcomings, and no one can convince anyone.

The hall fell silent again.

I can't think of a reason to win, and everyone doesn't want to talk casually.

At this time, a voice sounded slowly: "Since King An and the four princes can't satisfy you, why don't you mention a candidate who will satisfy everyone?" ”

These words immediately attracted ridicule: "If you want to talk about the great prince, don't open your mouth!" Abolish the crown prince and reinstate it, there is no such legislation! ”

"Who said the eldest prince?"

"And who are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about...... His Royal Highness the King of Yue! ”

As soon as these four words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Contrary to the sudden silence, all eyes were cast on the speaker.

The person who spoke was-

"Guo Xiang?"

The atmosphere was even more eerie.

With so many people present, who doesn't know that Guo Xu, an old boy, is very good at speculation? He was able to enter the political hall at a young age because he saw the opportunity quickly.

It stands to reason that if he is not eighty or ninety percent sure, he will not stand in line casually.

So, the king of Yue's side......

"Guo Xiang's proposal is good!" To everyone's surprise, someone answered quickly, "If you think about it carefully, His Royal Highness King Yue is indeed very suitable." In terms of age, he is two years older than King An, and he is stable enough. In terms of ability, he made great contributions in the northwest as early as a few years ago. The shortcomings of King An and the four princes, His Royal Highness King Yue have none of them, and they couldn't be more suitable. ”

"So...... There is indeed some truth and can be discussed. ”

A few echoes made the ministers show a surprised expression.

What's the situation? Has King Yue already opened so many joints?

Everyone knows that his identity is embarrassing, and he dares to bring it up in the court, this is to stand in line!

Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Finally spoke up.

The invisible hand finally revealed its true face behind it.

King Yue.

Sure enough, it was him.

If you think about it carefully, although it is unexpected, it is reasonable.

Apart from him, who else in the royal family can gather so many people?

Even Guo Xu is his person.

That's amazing! Just before today, he thought that Guo Xu was loyal to King An, and it turned out that he was paving the way for King Yue.

There were also those who were slow to respond and were shocked and said, "What kind of proposal is this? It's so confusing! There are sons and sons in the saints, how can there be a reason to appoint nephews and grandchildren without progenies? ”

Guo Xu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and smiled without smiling: "The saint does have parents and children, but isn't there no one who is suitable?" In addition to a few princes, the closest blood relationship is King Yue, right? Why can't you mention it? ”

"This ......"

"Don't forget, His Royal Highness King Yue is the eldest of Emperor Taizu! In terms of blood, it couldn't be closer. ”

"Guo Xiang's words are wrong! What is a concubine? Only the line of inheritance is called a grandson. The throne has been passed on to the present, and this branch is Yan! The king of Yue is the elder, and now he has become a concubine, how can he be easily called the chief? ”

Guo Xu said lightly: "On the eldest son, it just proves that His Royal Highness King Yue is not far away in blood. The most important reason is still that one, the four princes of the Holy Lord, the eldest prince has a flawed moral character, and he cannot be established, and King An is at risk of being disabled, so he can only be excluded. The remaining four or five princes are young, and if they are appointed, it is inevitable that the imperial power will be unstable. The danger of the Southern Chu Emperor's family is ahead, and we must not follow in its footsteps. In this way, who is more suitable than His Royal Highness King Yue? ”

"But ......"

"If you don't have a nephew or a son, so what? You might as well think about it, how ambitious was Emperor Taizu at the beginning of his dynasty? However, the great cause of dominating the world has been delayed again and again. Now that the Chu room is weak, I am afraid that there will be great changes, and I am full of things and people, strong soldiers and strong horses, and the opportunity of a hundred years may come. What could be more important at such a time than a wise and decisive king? I would like to ask you, which is more important, the great cause of the Great Qi and the small bloodline branch? ! ”
