Not to mention that Miss Zhao's appearance is not in line with the prince's appetite, just say that this person was deliberately pointed out to the prince by the emperor, and the prince will not really be interested in this person. Even if you don't watch out for it, you must feel uncomfortable when you see it.

So the prince just glanced at it for the emperor. The purpose is not to please the emperor and promote this matter, but to delay this matter temporarily. He glanced at it to reassure the emperor and make the emperor think that he was willing to follow his wishes. Coupled with the words that he didn't dare to look at, today's mention of this matter by the emperor must be stopped. Can you still show how anxious you are? As the emperor, there is still a little calmness in this.

Not long after, Li Zhonggui took a thing covered with a red cloth and resembled a small plaque back to Yuhuatai, and reported to the emperor: "Back to Your Majesty, the thing has been taken." ”

"Hmm", the emperor nodded and said, "Show it and show it to the prince." ”

"Yes."

Li Zhonggui said, beckoning to the two little eunuchs behind him. The two little eunuchs carried a small table and placed it under the long steps. Li Zhonggui put the plaque-like thing on the small table, and the two little eunuchs stood on the left and right, and one of them tore off the red cloth.

I saw that this was indeed a plaque, a plaque of pure gold. There are two big characters engraved on it - loyalty and filial piety.

This plaque is not very large, and it is suitable for hanging in the study, or in the bedroom, such as private living places. The pure gold plaque, under the reflection of the palace lamp, is bright, and it simply shakes the blind eye.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is written by His Majesty himself yesterday afternoon, and it was handed over to the craftsmen of the Manufacturing Division to work overnight, and it was only brought back this afternoon. It's just to rush to today's palace banquet and give it to His Royal Highness the Prince! Li Zhonggui said with a smile.

"Erchen, thank you for your father's kindness......" The prince stepped forward quickly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed with gratitude.

Rong Yunxi knew that at this time, the prince was afraid that he was secretly scolding the emperor in his heart.

What is the practical use of such a golden plaque? And the two words on the plaque were not what he wanted. The emperor gave him these two words, but it was equivalent to giving him a cage and imprisoning him in it.

"I remember going to your house before, and I saw that the layout in your study was so monotonous, there was not even a calligraphy painting or a plaque. I remembered that this time you had a meritorious supervision, so I took this opportunity to give you something useful. You put it in your study and fill up your shabby study. The emperor smiled.

"Yes, the retainers must hang this imperial plaque in the study, and always remind themselves of the 'loyal and filial piety' son." Prince Road.

"Lin'er, you are my good emperor, and I know that the word loyalty and filial piety is already in your heart. Therefore, I wrote these two words to show the people of the world the loyalty, filial piety and benevolence of the prince of my Fengguo. ”

"Son, thank your father......" The prince kowtowed again.

In fact, apart from this heavy kowtow and repeating "thank my father", he couldn't say anything else.

The royal golden plaque looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact? There's a fart! And the two words given by my father are not so pleasing. If he can succeed in ascending the throne in the future, today's father and emperor give him a golden plaque of loyalty and filial piety, which is a good story between monarchs and ministers, father and son; And what if something goes wrong in the future? These two words are a great irony for him.

These two words are hung in the study, the study, he doesn't have to go in the future. It's awkward to look at.

The two words given by the father did not seem to praise him, but seemed to point out him. is reminding him that you must always remember the word "loyalty and filial piety".

"Get up quickly," the emperor said with a smile, "and you deserve a reward for your good work." Stop holding back and go back to drinking. ”

Rong Yunxi listened to the emperor's words and felt very embarrassed. It seems that between the father and son, there is nothing to say except for the polite words that are repeated over and over.

In fact, in private, the emperor is still good to the crown prince. It's just that there are several important ministers present today, especially those from the Zhenguo Mansion, and the emperor deliberately didn't say anything to give or mention.

"Third brother, this time you assisted your eldest brother with merit, I am very happy to see you so promising. I have rewarded your eldest brother, and naturally I will reward you. It's just that there is no gold plaque given by the emperor. So be it, I give you the name of a prince. Tomorrow, I will announce to the world that I will crown you Prince Chen. What do you think? The emperor smiled.

King Chen stepped forward in fear, knelt down at the bottom of the steps, kowtowed, and said: "Erchen still needs to be experienced, the name of this prince is too heavy, and with Erchen's current ability, it is really difficult to bear." Erchen thought that Erchen still needed to follow his eldest brother to make a lot of progress, and after two or three years of training, he might be able to afford it. ”

"This ......," the emperor said with a smile, "I just said that if you do a good job, you should be rewarded." It's just that I really don't have any gold plaques or anything like that for you, so if you think about it, this name is more appropriate......"

The emperor deliberately slowed down his tone and looked at the four important ministers present.

"But you say you can't afford it...... How can this be a good ......?"

King Chen hung his head and was silent.

The emperor didn't speak, but just looked at the four people. It seems to be unintentional, but everyone knows that the emperor's gaze cannot fall on them unintentionally.

At this time, the emperor wanted to see their statement.

"His Royal Highness King Chen, forgive the officials for talking too much", Zhao Taishi got up and saluted King Chen, and said with a smile, "Your Highness has made a great contribution to your majesty by inspecting Jianghuai last year, and this year you have supervised the Sanhuai River with His Royal Highness the Prince, and have made great contributions." Your Highness has such achievements at such a young age, shouldn't he be rewarded with this? The lower officials thought that if His Royal Highness was humble, he would let the people of the world misunderstand that His Majesty's rewards and punishments were not clear. ”

Zhao Taishi's statement was actually expected by those present. Zhao Taishi is a person from the emperor's side, and now the emperor means that if he wants to reward King Chen, he will naturally be the first to stand up and say yes.

But what his attitude shows is that he is not embarrassed or embarrassed. Because his daughter is the one who wants to marry the prince, on the surface, he is the prince's person. Therefore, at this time, he supported the emperor to reward King Chen, which did not show that he supported King Chen, but showed that he supported the emperor and respected the emperor's will.

In the process of Taishi Zhao's statement, the other two people who needed to express their position had already quickly calculated it in their hearts.

"Yes, Your Highness is so humble. His Royal Highness accepts the title of prince, which is the desire of the people and the desire of the ministers, if His Royal Highness refuses to accept it, it will be the loss of all the people of the Wind Country. As soon as Taishi Zhao's words fell, Qin Yu smiled.

This sound like a rush, as if in a hurry.

Qin Yu had just carefully calculated in his heart, and felt that in fact, what the emperor wanted to see in this temptation was his attitude. Because even if the Duke of Zhenguo is unwilling to let King Chen be crowned prince, there is the emperor's intention here, and Zhao Taishi's welcome is followed, and it is at the palace banquet, not the court debate, it is not good for him to show his opposition.

And the Marquis of Changle is just a marquis with an empty title, and it doesn't matter who he is on.

The emperor called Changle Hou to come, mainly with the intention of Cai Miaorong. As for looking at his position, it's just incidental. Changle Hou only has a hereditary title and connections in the court, and has no real power. His attitude, at most, can only represent the attitude of some idle officials in the court who are close to the prince on weekdays.

But at this time, Chang Lehou and his situation are the same. If you want to show your support for King Chen, you must show your attitude before the Duke of Zhenguo takes a stand. If King Chen is persuaded to accept the title before Zhenguo Gong expresses his position, it shows that they are not ***, or it can be said, that they are not Zhenguo Gonggong.

And if it is indicated after the town has expressed its attitude...... You are not a Zhenguo Gongdang, and the emperor must also think that you are a Zhenguo Gongdang.

The Changle Hou Mansion has always been very close to the prince, and he doesn't know which side Changle Hou wants to stand on. He only knew that in order to clear up his relationship with the prince and the Zhenguo Mansion, he had to express his position immediately. It's late, and when Zhenguo speaks publicly, the next explanation is troublesome.

Hearing Qin Yu express his position in such a hurry, the prince did not feel any displeasure. It's just a hook at the corner of his mouth, but it looks like he's watching a good show.

Seeing Qin Yu's statement so quickly, Changle Hou did not follow suit.

If at this time, he said before Zhenguo Gong to persuade King Chen to accept the title, it means that he wants to stand on King Chen's side and be King Chen's party. He has always been relatively close to the crown prince, this time the emperor wants to see who they all support, and he is clearly forcing them to express their position, how can he say that it is from King Chen's side?

The emperor just wants to see what the people want, but he doesn't want to abolish the prince and ask them if they agree or not. Is he stupid? If you express your support for King Chen at this time, the crown prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will not be the first to do it?

The attitude that the emperor is looking at now is not the attitude that is needed when he finally deposes the crown prince or abolishes the prince of Zhenguo.

Even if he is on the side of the Duke of Zhenguo, once the emperor gets rid of the Duke of Zhenguo, or even deposes the crown prince, he only needs to show his determination to be loyal to the emperor as soon as possible, right? What is the attitude of the anxious statement now?

But Qin Yu is different, Qin Yu is not close to either the prince or the king of Chen. So at this time, even if he doesn't stand on the prince's side, there will be no additional losses. But what about him? If he expresses his position now, he may not be able to wait for the prince to ascend the throne, and the Zhenguo Mansion will deal with him in a few days.

Anyway, he is just an idle prince, and his attitude may not be cared about by the emperor. This time, the most important thing for the emperor to look at is Qin Yu's attitude.

The emperor wants to see whether he should guard against Qin Yu in the process of removing the prince of Zhenguo in the future, or whether he should count Qin Yu in the camp and make good use of it.

"Hehe......" was thinking about it when he heard Zhenguo speak openly.
