For Emperor Jingchang, if he starts from the perspective of family affection, his feelings for the third Yu Zhongqian are actually closer than the eldest Yu Zhongcheng.

When he married Empress Daxi, it was the time when he and several other brothers competed fiercely for the position of prince, so this marriage inevitably took on more political marriages. As a super family second only to the royal Yu family, the Daxi family can help him in many ways.

Therefore, the birth of the eldest Yu Zhongcheng is, to a certain extent, the product of this political transaction, and after Yu Zhongcheng was born, he was still busy with intrigues with his brothers all day long, and almost missed his entire childhood from learning to toddler to beginning to practice, so the relationship between father and son was inevitably a little indifferent, and Yu Zhongcheng and his mother and the Daxi family walked closer.

And when Yu Zhongqian was born, it was when Emperor Jingchang ascended the throne, and double happiness was coming, so Emperor Jingchang had a different kind of feelings for the birth of the third child. Yu Zhongqian's mother, Fu Qinghan, was also his favorite among all the wives of Emperor Jingchang, so when Yu Zhongqian was just born, it can be said that he was extremely favored, far surpassing his three older brothers and sisters.

It's just that later, the marriage contract between Fu Qinghan and Shi Huaichuan became a thorn in the heart of Emperor Jingchang, and after he ascended the throne, he was busy with government affairs, and even he was estranged from the third Yu Zhongqian.

But in the choice of the prince, family affection has never been a criterion, not even one of the criteria.

When a qualified emperor chooses his heir, the most important consideration is to see whether this candidate can bear the thousand-year-old foundation of his ancestors and carry it forward.

Emperor Jingchang has not heard of some of the actions of the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng in private, but in his opinion, this reflects Yu Zhongcheng's desire for power and wealth, and shows his ambition.

With the coexistence of the eight great families, and the Yu family of the imperial family, who nominally owned the world but only actually controlled the land of the four states, an heir with unlimited ambitions for wealth and power was crucial to the further stability and development of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Compared with Yu Zhongcheng, the third Yu Zhongqian's temper and personality are a little indifferent, which is very similar to his mother Fu Qinghan. When his two elder brothers, Empress Daxi and Concubine Beigong, were fighting for the position of prince, he and his mother never seemed to show interest in this position, and this was the reason why the third prince was ignored by many ministers.

Yu Zhongqian's character seems to be born to be an idle prince, so the ownership of the position of the prince, in fact, Emperor Jingchang never considered the possibility of Yu Zhongqian.

Therefore, when Yu Zhongqian opened his mouth and raised his own objections to the ownership of the position of the prince, although Emperor Jingchang was expressionless, he still had a trace of surprise in his heart.

At least at this moment, he saw the existence of ambition in the eyes of the third child, and Emperor Jingchang himself finally had another choice other than the boss Yu Zhongcheng.

This does not mean that the third child will be able to replace the boss immediately and become the most suitable candidate in his heart, but with the third child's words, it is worth Emperor Jingchang to give him a chance.

This kind of change in thinking is just a matter of thought for Emperor Jingchang, but for the civil and military officials in the court, it is tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

The script shouldn't be like this!

said that today's prince will be determined, and everyone has decided that there is no other choice for this position except for the eldest prince, and they have already hugged their thighs to show their loyalty, but now because of the words of the third prince, the candidate for the prince will be put on hold and discussed again?

The reason why there are so many officials gathered around the eldest prince, even the five-grade officials like Wang Jun, the commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, are all stubbornly trying to go up, not because the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng himself is really a corporal who is civil, martial and lixian, but because everyone believes that after the fall of the second prince, he has become the best candidate for the prince.

And now, the three princes, who have never had any sense of existence in the court, were born, and the competition for the position of the prince was foggy again, and Emperor Jingchang did not reprimand him when the three princes made an exception to raise objections, but said that Yunyun should be reconsidered, which itself has already shown great gifts and favor to the three princes!

For a while, countless people had their own little abacus in their hearts.

......

......

"Bang!"

A bunch of pen, ink, paper, inkstones and precious ornaments on the desk were flung by the sleeves of the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng, and they were all blown to the ground, one of which was made of a whole piece of phoenix blood jade, and a hollow carved vase with a height of one and a half feet, smashed heavily on the floor of the sea soul stone, and shattered into countless pieces.

"Damn! This third child, who is silent on weekdays, didn't expect to give me such a play at this time!"

The one who spoke was naturally the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng in anger, if he was the most angry person today, he was naturally the one who was. It was clear that the position of the prince who was about to be handed over, but before his father nodded, he had another branch, and this huge drop from the nine clouds made Yu Zhongcheng feel extremely angry.

At the end of the court meeting, he felt that everyone in the palace looked at him as if they were watching a joke.

The eldest prince didn't know that the reason why his third brother, who seemed to have always been indisputable, would show his desire for the position of prince today was completely inseparable from what he said to Shi Zhiyi on the night of the Lantern Festival, by the Yongji River.

Seeing that the relationship between his best friend and the eldest prince was already like fire and water, if Yu Zhongqian gave up the position of prince, he could imagine what kind of storm Yunqi City and Shi Zhiyi would usher in when the eldest prince ascended the throne and became emperor.

If he wants to stop all this from happening, he has only one way, which is to stand up and be the emperor himself.

"Cousin, this is already the case, it's useless for you to be angry now, let's think about how to deal with your dear third brother. ”

It was Da Xi Xiunan who spoke, he came to the palace today under the pretext of visiting his aunt, and he was going to celebrate Yu Zhongcheng's ascension to the throne of the prince, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for to come back was a big prince like a mad tiger.

"Just with his Yu Zhongqian's weight, he also wants to fight with me! What qualifications does he have! If it weren't for the second child's experience, it wouldn't be easy for me to kill him!"

"But here's the problem, no matter what, he also bears the name of a prince, and now there is a slight possibility of getting involved in the position of the prince, so we naturally can't be him. Da Xi Xiunan paused, and his voice lowered by three points: "This morning, I received news that that kid from the Shi family appeared in a town called Beiqijia in the northwest suburbs of Kyoto, didn't Yu Zhongqian have a good relationship with him?
