Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 54 The King of Hedong County

When these words were said, not to mention the people on the princeling's side, the other people who didn't know the inside story were all stunned again.

What is the situation today?

Could it be that the relationship between the crown prince and the five princes is not what he imagined?

Could it be that the crown prince is actually closer to the four princes?

Or does the prince have his own ideas?

These officialdom spirits now feel that their heads are not enough, and even many people have complaints, since you have a plan, then you should also communicate with the people below, the most feared thing within the party is not to unite as one, each has an idea and does not say, and then goes to the court to mess around.

However, as in the previous situation, since Gu Cang had spoken, someone naturally came out to respond at the moment.

The minister thought that the prince was right. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

"The minister also thinks that the five princes can't afford to be the prince for the time being!"

Seeing that these people below were like a group of echoing insects, even Gu Yi on the dragon chair frowned slightly.

and then pamper this second son, and even have decided in their hearts that they must let him inherit the unification, but seeing that he is not dead, the courtiers have already looked at his horse, in the final analysis, as the king of a country, he is still a little uncomfortable after all, what is the most afraid of the people in power, is not that the latecomers take away their rights, for them, there is nothing more important than the right, because this is an important condition to support them for themselves.

If this is a mediocre emperor, I am afraid that I will have to guard against this son who is too popular in my heart, but the successive kings of Liang Country are not ordinary people, and they are excellent in the ability of the next generation, even surpassing themselves, Gu Yi will only feel happy, the wish of the founding ancestor of Liang Kingdom, the ancestral training of the Gu family, he and his father have never forgotten, as long as they can realize that grand dream, even if they give way to this son in advance?

There are always things that are beyond the world, such as dreams.

Not to mention anything else, Ye Zhihuai, who was standing in the crowd, was also thinking silently.

According to the five princes, the arrangement of going to Huangsha County should have been discussed a long time ago, and it should be passed up and down, so it is not difficult to understand the prince's reaction, this must be in accordance with their previous agreement, and he will not be in the limelight to fight for him, so as not to expose this relationship to the courtiers and be snooped on by someone with a heart, if the secret of the holy clan is exposed, the efforts of his entire three generations of the Ye family will be ruined, not to mention, the Ye family will definitely be directly erased, that is not what he wants to see.

As the head of the six departments, he has a very high status, if it is discovered that the official department of Shangshu, who has never formed a party for personal gain, has quietly fallen to the most powerless five princes, this will inevitably arouse suspicion, and he will look at his nose at the moment, and his nose will care, and he will not hear what is happening outside.

Anyway, with the help of himself and the Holy Clan, no matter how low the starting point is, he can pull it up, but it really can't be done, he still has a way.

Instead, Gu Cang first glanced deeply at Ye Zhihuai in the same column, and then spoke: "Erchen thinks that the fifth child is not very old after all, so he can be crowned the king of the county for the time being, and the position of the prince will be talked about later." ”

The emperor's own son, if he wants to be crowned king, he must be the prince, the son of the prince is the king of the county, and Gu Xuangui is the fifth prince, if he gets the position of the king of the county, it is against the ancestral system, it is nondescript, and it is no different from humiliation.

The others immediately looked at the prince in confusion.

They can't figure out how the prince, who has always been lenient, could treat his brother like this, and he is also a younger brother who has no threat to him, he suppresses the third and fourth children, these people will only feel happy and will not feel inappropriate, taking the heir, party strife, it is an extremely dangerous thing, if you retain the kindness of a woman, you will definitely be killed by the enemy, if you are not ruthless, it is impossible to get on the throne, you can be incompetent and intoxicated after the ascendancy, but if you don't get rid of the competitors before the ascendancy, then it is you who die, these people know this matter, so no one wants to contact the eldest prince Gu Yuan。

The integrity and conduct of the eldest prince are very admirable, but such a person is destined not to be the emperor.

But it is pointless to suppress the five princes, the other party has no threat to your position, and they naturally don't understand it if they insist on consuming the favor of the Son of Heaven and doing useless work.

What's more, even if he is not given the position of prince, it is better than the position of the king of the county!

What is the difference between this and overt humiliation?

However, this is not over, Gu Yi on the dragon chair really nodded thoughtfully, and said: "It makes sense, five years old is not very old, this prince's position is indeed a bit excessive, then let's seal the county king first, pass on my order, and give the fifth prince Gu Xuan, the king of Hedong County!"

King of Hedong County?

The people below are not stupid, if they want to look down on the officialdom, how can they not understand the internal situation of Liangguo, from this title, they quickly thought of Hedong County in Youzhou, these people who are very sensitive to politics smelled a trace of unusualness, and immediately stopped talking.

Could it be that these five princes are going to be the first of all the princes to have a fief?

If the prince only has a title and no fief, then it is just a false title in the end, it is nothing more than that others have to call the prince when they meet, but once they have their own fief, it will be different, and it will be very different!

Sure enough, Emperor Liang Gu Yi on the dragon chair continued: "When the children grow up, they should also worry about the country, so they will be crowned the fifth prince Gu Xuan as the king of Hedong County, and the fief will be Hedong County of Youzhou!"

The bottom of the pot was fried, a county, said that it was not big, but it was not small.

After the county system is in the state, Youzhou is second only to Haizhou in size, and there are only five counties in the interior, and Hedong County is the largest one, and there are more than a dozen counties all over the county, and the area is vast.

Many people looked at Xu Shijie among the military attachés, this is the real Xu family, this person is not stupid, he reacted immediately, and suddenly became extremely ugly, but for a while, he still didn't know whether to speak against it.

Oppose it, on what grounds?

Is Youzhou the Youzhou of the Xu family or the Youzhou of the Gu family?

Do you want to fight against the royal family for the sake of the Xu family?

There are a few heads that are not enough to cut off, the blame is only that this happened too suddenly, there was no news before, and now the staff is not around, he really doesn't dare to act rashly, for fear that if he is not careful, he will not only suffer himself, but also implicate the Xu family.

However, Gu Cang suddenly spoke again: "Father, Erchen thinks it's still inappropriate, the fifth brother's age is not long, and the land of a county is difficult to manage, not to mention that Hedong County is the border of Youzhou, and there is no room for loss, and there is no one available under the fifth brother, so don't make it difficult for the fifth brother, Erchen feels that it is better to give the fifth brother this title first, but the fief is set in the land of a county, and when the fifth brother is getting older and has enough ability, he will slowly hand over the entire Hedong County!"

The others were stunned again, first give a county as a fief?

This is a real humiliation, which emperor's son will go to the county seat to be the magistrate, that is, the eldest prince goes out as an official, and it is all in the county.

A prince was awarded the title of county king, and there was only one county in the fief, which was a joke to say, and it greatly violated the ancestral system.

Everyone else was very puzzled by Gu Cang's behavior, even if you want to suppress your younger brother, you don't have to go so far, this is not only against etiquette, but also against the laws of the imperial court.

However, there are still people in the princelings who come forward to voice their approval, there is no way, if you choose to take sides, you can't help it.

What everyone didn't expect was that Gu Yi on the dragon chair nodded again: "Cang'er is reasonable, so where do you think it is better?"

Gu Cang stepped forward and said, "After thinking about it, I think Huangsha County is the most suitable!"

The civil officials didn't feel anything, after all, it was impossible to have a clear understanding of the situation in each county, but the military attaches from Youzhou were all shocked, and one by one, they looked at the prince who was still smiling with a look of disbelief.

My mother-in-law, Huangsha County?

This is really quietly forcing his brother to death!

They naturally know what kind of poor mountains and rivers Huangsha County is, how can it be used as a fief of the king of a country?

Gu Cang here also looked back after speaking, and smiled back, seeing that the military attachés were all trembling, and a chill welled up in his heart.

It is said that civil officials kill people without seeing blood, but this time I finally saw it, how ruthless this must be, to pit his younger brother like this.

However, Gu Yi had already opened his mouth to close the coffin: "I agree to your proposal, then so be it, give the fifth prince Gu Xuanhedong the throne of the king, and the fief will be Huangsha County temporarily, if Huangsha County is well governed after a year, then the entire Hedong County will be handed over to him." ”

The military attaches from the Youzhou Department exchanged glances, although it was said that going out of Hedong County was to grab meat from the hands of the general, but now it is only given to Huangsha County, and they know best what this Huangsha County is, and they even think that it is good that the five princes will still be alive in a year.

In the final analysis, this is too unfair to the five princes, so unfair that they are embarrassed to object.

However, the civil officials are thinking more, feeling that these two fathers and sons are playing dumb riddles, and they have already discussed good things, no wonder the prince is so abnormal today, so it sees, since His Majesty the Emperor has already decided, then talk about a fart, don't be a bird to make these two fathers and sons unhappy.

When the military officials were lower, there was a rare lack of opposition.

Gu Yi beckoned to the side and whispered a few words, and Han Mink Temple, who was bowing and listening next to him, nodded, stood up straight, and said in a loud voice: "Xuan Fifth Prince Gu Xuan, go to the palace to be sealed!"

One after another, the report came from the mouth of the internal official.

Gu Xuan in the side hall waited for a long time, and finally waited for someone to lead him to the palace, and suddenly the whole person became nervous, and asked the internal official to help sort out the clothes, and after confirming that there was no problem, he followed the eunuch who came over and walked towards the Jinluan Palace.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and suddenly all the officials turned their bodies and looked at the fifth prince who walked in slowly from outside the door.

It was the first time that he was watched by so many important ministers of the imperial court, Gu Xuan's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath before he met the eyes one after another and calmly stepped into it.
