Chapter 233: The Crown Prince Fights
"It seems that what Zhou Yi said is true." Lin Feng remembered what Zhou Yi said, Lin Junsheng was even more dangerous than Lin Zhongchao, and clenched his fists.
The next day, Emperor Qingfeng enjoyed the flowers in the royal garden of King Yoan.
A gust of wind blows from the surface of the lake, bringing a rare cool feeling of summer. The pink lotus flowers tremble slightly in the wind on the surface of the lake, constantly emitting a faint fragrance. Naughty fish chase each other and play with each other, eating and spitting around a fallen lotus flower. Under the elm tree, the shadows of the trees shaded a cool, wet moss, and a few sparrows were pecking happily.
In order to show his understanding of King An, Emperor Qingfeng also called Lin Zhongchao together.
Emperor Qingfeng was eating a box of pea yellow.
King An sighed, "I can't imagine that after so many years, the emperor still hasn't changed." ”
Emperor Qingfeng shed tears and said: "Because of love, I dare not forget." ”
Lin Zhongchao looked at King An incomprehensibly, what were they talking about!
King An smiled and said: "Chao'er, your imperial grandmother's favorite food is pea yellow, and the emperor originally didn't eat it, but after your imperial grandmother left, the emperor has been eating pea yellow." The emperor is still very good to the queen. ”
Lin Zhongchao wanted to vomit when he heard it. Will the emperor be good to the queen? It's a joke. This is clearly what Emperor Qingfeng did for King An.
"Chao'er, you can eat a piece too." King An handed Lin Zhongchao a piece.
Lin Zhongchao took it and ate it.
The emperor proposed, "Chao'er, why don't you dance the sword to help the fun!" ”
An Wang said: "The old man has not seen Chao'er dance the sword for many years. Chao'er, why don't you dance, let the old man see how your skills are. ”
Lin Zhongchao then danced the sword.
King An said: "Your Majesty, the prince is benevolent and righteous, although he has died, fortunately, Chao'er is still there." The emperor should hurry up and confirm the crown prince! There is a definite candidate in front of you. ”
Lin Zhongchao's movements slowed down. The ears were pricked up to listen.
It turned out that King An came to the capital this time, in addition to visiting the queen's mausoleum, there was also an important thing to do, that is, to force Emperor Qingfeng to establish Lin Zhongchao as the crown prince.
Emperor Qingfeng's face darkened, "King An, I haven't found a suitable candidate, my princes, the older ones are inexperienced, and the younger ones are too young." ”
King An smiled: "Since the emperor thinks that the prince is not good, what about the emperor and grandson?" Chao'er has both ability and political integrity, and he also went to the south to break the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and he is the best candidate for the crown prince! ”
Emperor Qingfeng said: "Zhong Chao is still young, I am afraid he will not be competent. Besides, where is there a prince who is still there, and who has crossed the ranks to appoint the emperor and grandson as the crown prince? ”
King An insisted: "Although Chao'er is the prince, he is the only blood of the prince, even if he crosses the rank, I am afraid that no one will object, this emperor does not have to worry." ”
Emperor Qingfeng was very angry, this King An, listening to King An's tone, should he be asked to canonize Lin Zhongchao immediately!
But he still smiled and said: "King An, you don't know, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all hope that I will make Lin Feng the crown prince." Speaking of which, Lin Feng is indeed my most proud son. ”
An Wang Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, even if Lin Feng has great talent, but he can never be compared with the crown prince, Yun Feng was born humble, and his mother is a lowly palace maid of a different race. Such a bloodline can't be the dragon chair of my Daming Dynasty, if you want to become the crown prince, you must be pure blood, your Majesty, you won't know that this is the lesson of your ancestors. ”
When Emperor Qingfeng heard this, his face was blue and red, and he was very embarrassed, and no one had ever dared to confront him so directly, saying that he was wrong, and he really didn't take him seriously at all.
However, Emperor Qingfeng was still afraid of King An, after all, King An's army was stationed outside the city, and he didn't dare to express his emotions, but he just smiled faintly: "Although Lin Feng's birth is not very pure, he is also my prince." He has my blood in his body. What's more, to be the crown prince, the ministers must agree, even if Lin Feng can't do it, it is categorically impossible for this emperor and grandson to ascend the throne. ”
Emperor Qingfeng said it so clearly, but King An's opinion was also very clear, and the two of them couldn't convince each other. No one can let a step go. King An finally had a cold face and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I can't hide it, this time I came to Beijing, mainly because I wanted the emperor to appoint Lin Zhongchao as the crown prince, so as to fulfill the queen's wishes, I hope that the emperor will fulfill you." ”
Emperor Qingfeng was eating pea yellow and didn't know what to say. The words have already come to this point, if he refuses again, then King An, who has always been resolute, will turn his face. I am not afraid, but who should resist the 200,000 troops outside the city.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongchao smiled secretly in his heart. The emperor must have never imagined that there would be today!
However, Lin Zhongchao knows Emperor Qingfeng very well, even if Emperor Qingfeng agrees today, when King An leaves, Emperor Qingfeng will regret it, even if he is reluctantly canonized as the crown prince, in the future, he will definitely find a reason to remove him.
Moreover, if he didn't speak to Emperor Qingfeng this time, he would inevitably offend Emperor Qingfeng, and he was not afraid of offending Emperor Qingfeng, but it was not time yet.
It's better to help Emperor Qingfeng speak now. On the one hand, he found a step for Emperor Qingfeng, and on the other hand, he also protected King An. Because if Emperor Qingfeng hadn't really done what King An said, then he wouldn't be so anxious to harm King An.
So, Lin Zhongchao took a step forward and said, "Grandpa Huang, King An, Zhongchao is immoral and incompetent, and he can't be the crown prince, so please choose another virtuous one." ”
At this time, a eunuch came to report that not far away, Lin Feng and Lin Junsheng had a fight and had just been separated.
Emperor Qingfeng said: "It's really unbelievable! Let them come in right away! ”
It turned out that Lin Feng and Lin Junsheng met in the palace, and Lin Feng asked Lin Junsheng why he wanted to frame him and provoke the relationship between him and King An.
Emperor Qingfeng said:
"I don't want to know why you're fighting, what I want you to know is that you're two brothers, is there anything you can't discuss?"
Lin Junsheng knelt down and said, "It's all the son's fault, and I ask my father not to blame the emperor." ”
When Lin Feng saw Lin Junsheng say this, he hurriedly said that it was not his own.
King An said: "Your Majesty, since the two princes have the courage to take responsibility and admit their mistakes, it is better to forgive them!" If you are not a saint or a sage, you can do nothing!! ”
Emperor Qingfeng then took the opportunity to let Lin Junsheng and Lin Feng sit down, and then continued to talk about what happened just now, "King An, you see, Chao'er himself doesn't want to be the crown prince!" ”
King An said: "King Yu, this is a major matter related to the country's social affairs, you must not be too modest and forcibly resign!" ”
Lin Zhongchao said: "King An's kindness, Zhongchao understands it!" It's just that the cause of his father's death has not yet been ascertained, and Zhong Chao is disloyal and unfilial, so he does not dare to take this big responsibility. ”
