Chapter 340: Sealing the King
The most depressed person is the second prince, according to everyone's impression of him, the prince's words should come out of his mouth, but the result is that the prince has benefited, and he was taught by the emperor to learn from the prince.
Although they all participate in politics at the court, the crown prince has a higher status than them.
This is knowing that the emperor's purpose is not pure, and the three princes know that the position of the prince is like a poison wrapped in sweet honey, and they have to scramble to fight for it!
"The sons and daughters remember the teachings of their father, and they will take the prince's brother as an example, serve the court, and share the worries of the monarch's father."
The third prince had a shy smile and a good voice. Naturally, the second prince will not perform too badly, after all, the father and the courtiers are watching and measuring their potential and value.
"Erchen can't say such inspiring words as His Royal Highness the Prince, Erchen is willing to ......" The tall and sturdy body of the second prince knelt straight in front of the emperor, "The northwest has been peaceful for more than ten years because of General Mu's death, but Erchen thinks that they have been ready to move, and Erchen is willing to give up everything in the capital and go to the northwest to guard!" ”
The crown prince was shocked, the courtiers were surprised, and even the smile on the emperor's lips faded a lot.
The third prince's lips squirmed, "Second brother, are you going to the northwest?" ”
Although it is possible that the second prince has the military power because of this, but in the end it is too far away from the capital, if there is an accident, it is not much use to have military power, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, a death edict may take the life of the second prince, even if the second prince rebels, how many soldiers and horses can be raised in the northwest?
Can it compete with the forces of the Central Plains of the Empire?
What's more, Shanhaiguan is in the hands of Yang Yao, and Yang Zongbing can not only resist the enemy outside the pass, but also clamp down on the northwest.
The second prince said loudly: "The son is just a mediocre person in the court, and only by going to the northwest and guarding the frontier for his father can the son be reborn and become a useful minister." ”
"I understand your thoughts."
The emperor looked at the second prince and said in a low voice: "But I am just your three sons, each of them is very precious, I am a father in the end, and I am reluctant to give you up." ”
"Father's ......"
"It's good that you want to fight for the country, and I can't live up to it, but you...... You've been growing up in the palace, and although you've also studied mounted archery, you've not had much hard work after all. ”
The emperor's eyes were deep, "It's not that you have ambition on the battlefield, and you can't talk about it on paper." That's why I am very grateful to Lord Anle for letting me understand Mu Shizi's true strength. ”
The corners of Mu Wu's mouth raised slightly, and she said: "The second prince is definitely not a person who talks about it, and the emperor should not be compared with the second prince as someone else." ”
"Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a prince, why don't you give it to the second prince." Mu Wan smiled at the three princes, a little grateful, "There are also three princes who also invite a teacher, naturally they can't be compared with the crown prince, but you can understand the preferences and aspirations of the two princes, and teach them according to their aptitude, so as to live up to the talents and aspirations of the princes." ”
Mu Wu looked at the emperor and almost raised the same meaning.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now the title of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been decided, since you want to cultivate the second prince and the third prince to assist His Royal Highness the Prince, the three princes are all in the court and auxiliary government, and there is a way that is not right, and the words are not good."
Liu Saburo suddenly spoke up, breaking the tacit understanding between the emperor and Mu Wu, and pleaded: "Crowning the two princes as kings, with the title of the prince, I think the princes will be more loyal to the court, and they don't always need to be commensurate with the second prince and the third prince." ”
"Exactly, the minister agrees with what the third prince said."
"Reconsideration."
Mu Wu found that the people who stood up and agreed had high and low official positions, but they all had a common characteristic, they were relatively young, and it was not appropriate to use youth, and they were all courtiers who were not confused.
They were all promoted by the emperor in recent years, or the ministers who were transferred back to the six ministries from outside Beijing, and at least half of these people had been introduced to Mu Wu that day.
Otherwise, Liu Saburo has no identity and no grade, and the last dynasty is also using her light to be the lord of Anle, how can he casually propose to register the prince as the king, how can he get the approval of the courtiers for reconsideration?
Even if it's already in the making.
She and Liu Saburo didn't mean to underestimate the courtiers and elders, and the cabinet chief assistant was afraid that he was already weighing the stakes, but he didn't make up his mind for a while, let alone the emperor's thoughts.
"Shousuke, what do you think of Saburo's suggestion?"
The second prince and the third prince then looked at the first assistant ministers, in fact, in addition to the identity of the prince, they also have no grade, after the queen can build their own palace, they can justifiably have to protect their subordinates, and they can also let their staff have a dark turn to light, and it is more likely to intervene with the respect of the prince to guarantee, and it is more convenient to win over the courtiers of Xu Li.
It was the third prince who didn't like Liu Saburo very much, and he was a little grateful to him at this time.
In fact, there is no one more suitable to make this suggestion than Liu Saburo's current identity, Liu Saburo is a disciple of the general family, and the king is not only a state affair, but also a matter of the royal family, King Wei controls the Zongren Mansion, and his power in the clan is not small.
And Liu Saburo is only white now, and he has no official rank, so he has no intention of exchanging benefits for this, after all, everyone knows that being born in a dignified and upright imperial examination is the right way, Liu Saburo has an excellent reputation in Shilin, and is known as a gentleman, and gentlemen are all upright, and they are also sunny roads.
The crown prince also looked at Shoufu with blank eyes, he couldn't wait to strangle Liu Saburo to death at this time, didn't hurt him like this, isn't it enough for him to appear in the court as a prince? Do you want two more princes with six crowns?
The later the two younger brothers become kings, the better it will be for him!
Shoufu lifted his eyelids, which seemed to be very heavy, avoided the eyes of the three princes, and looked around at the courtiers who stood up to support Liu Saburo, secretly surprised, the emperor's hand had been stretched out so long?
He didn't believe that these courtiers agreed with Liu Saburo because he was a gentleman of good character.
How many people did the emperor still bury in the court?
He, the head of the hundred officials, didn't notice it at all, many of these people were even promoted by his nod, if they didn't stand up, would they always be regarded as the first assistant?
He is old, really old, and he can't understand many things, let alone see through His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the dragon chair.
The emperor did not urge Shousuke, as if he respected Shousuke and allowed Shousuke to think clearly.
"The minister thinks...... I think Liu Saburo's advice is very good. ”
Shoufu thought of his gray beard, which was beautiful enough over the years, so it was better to satisfy the emperor, and he could retire from the court peacefully.
At this time, he had already made up his mind to leave, otherwise it would be difficult for him not to be swept up in the turmoil in the court, after all, he was the first assistant, and he couldn't hide or be neutral.
"The minister is old and in poor health, so I beg Your Majesty to allow the minister to return to his hometown to recuperate."
Shoufu is a neat and neat person, he asked to resign in person, and the emperor looked at him for a long time, "You go back to the house and think about it, if you still decide to resign, I promise you." ”
