In the evening, the banquet in the palace was huge, and in order to make the banquet go on as scheduled, the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought almost half of the capital's meat, vegetables and grain.

The royal authority sat in a high position, and the queen and prince were on both sides, and after saying a few innocuous auspicious words, the banquet officially began.

During the banquet, many people came to toast, and the king's authority was inherited one by one, and now that he is older, he has lost a lot of competitive spirit, if it is placed in the past, it is estimated that more than 100 people present will have to be drunk and laid down.

As the eldest prince, Wang Qianying did not escape, even if he often went to the fireworks place to drink and have fun, under the toast of the ministers in turn, he was drunk and unconscious after a while.

The queen still blamed herself for what had just happened, and whispered to the king:

"Am I going too far in the afternoon?"

"It's okay, Ying'er is not a child, he knows your thoughts, he promised before he came, and after that, he must cheer up and study hard."

As he was talking, an envoy stepped forward to toast, and Wang Quanquan didn't talk nonsense, and drank directly with the other party.

After the feast, everyone dragged drunk to the outskirts to watch the dynasty test firing artillery in the bright moonlight.

Liu Luming's holy order became more and more unscrupulous in his hand, and he pulled more than ten huge cannons in one breath, and the cannonballs greeted the distant hillside like no money, and the good mountain was blown up with thousands of holes, and the envoys and ministers suddenly woke up most of the time when they saw this, and knelt down on the spot to show their loyalty.

This night is destined to go down in history.

————

Spring goes to autumn, and I don't realize that it is another ten years.

Emperor Wan has been on the throne for fifteen years, and Wang Quanquan himself has passed half a hundred years old.

In the past fifteen years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the court, many elderly officials have resigned and retired, and batches of officialdom upstarts have entered the temple with the imperial examination.

The royal authority is the same as that of Emperor Shun back then, and young people are in power, if the court is full of old guys who are half-cut into the ground, not to mention the dull atmosphere of officialdom, the places where they are in power will also look old.

Nowadays, the dynasty can be described as "prosperous", the degree of prosperity is directly after the prosperous Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago, there is no need for the dynasty to send envoys to other countries, the merchants of various states will promote the prosperity of the dynasty, large and small states spontaneously come to worship, I don't know where they heard that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty loves beauty, and they will bring ten or eight beauties when they come.

Ten years ago, although the more than thirty were placed in the palace to be pleasing to the eye, every time he thought of the consequences of being discovered by the queen, he had a chill behind his back, and in the end, he had no choice, so he gave it to his son.

……

Wang Qianying is really worry-free now, since the father and son talked about it that day, he has never been to Fireworks Willow Lane, nor has he been greedy for drinking and drunk. Devoted to his studies and government affairs every day, he has become a well-known talent in Beijing over the years, and the poems he wrote in his spare time have all been praised by the literary world.

There are even rumors in the market that if you can get a manuscript of a poem from His Royal Highness, it will be enough to change the county order in the suburbs of Beijing.

These rumors are true or false, and there is no lack of suspicion of fabrication and praise, but Wang Qianying's reputation in the literary world is indeed very good, he is a virtuous and talented, founded the "Jingyu Academy", and followed the Confucian sage's "education without class", and his name once overshadowed the Guozijian who was a pillar of talent.

Although there are many people with mediocre qualifications in the academy, Wang Qianying founded the academy at the beginning to let poor scholars have the opportunity to carp jump into the dragon gate, and Jingyu Academy has indeed produced several amazing talents over the years, one of which even surpassed a group of Guozijian students and won the top spot in the new department that year.

I don't know if the students of Guozijian can hold their faces for the time being, anyway, the students of Jingyu Academy now have a bit of pride that "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning".

All the students who come out of the academy, regardless of their level of knowledge, regard themselves as "prince's protégés", which is not to put gold on their faces, but to really respect His Royal Highness who is in a high position and can still care about poor scholars.

Now the title of "prince's protégé" is estimated to be changed to "prince's protégé" soon, because someone in the palace revealed the news that the current saint intends to appoint the eldest prince as the prince.

……

As soon as this incident came out, many literati were even happier than the prince.

It is a well-known fact that the two princes of the dynasty have a civil and military discord, and there has always been a discord between civil and military affairs since ancient times, and the literati call the martial artists reckless, and the martial artists call the literati useless talents, which is especially obvious in the court.

The military attaches have been suppressed in the court for decades, although with the Yan family's entry into the military department and Emperor Wan's intention to reconcile this pressure has been reduced a lot, but the martial arts who have always respected "can do it and never force much" are still not civil opponents who specialize in lip service.

Sometimes people give a set, they don't want to step on it, Xu is afraid that he is not completely dead, and he has to struggle a few more times to make the rope tighter, and the emperor sitting on the dragon chair can't save it even if he wants to, and the military attaches are forced to be red-faced but not easy to do, and in the end they can only suffer dumb losses.

His Majesty now intends to appoint the eldest prince who represents the literati as the crown prince, and the military attaches are naturally unwilling, and the second prince is now also old, and he has been killing in the territory for more than ten years, and he has long held up half of the northwest half of the sky.

After a brief discussion, several military attachés were ready to stir up the matter about the fact that the eldest prince was not His Majesty's own son, because they were afraid that Yan Shangshu would stop him from thinking of friendship and friendship, so they simply did not tell the other party about this stubble.

Yan Jun is old, he has already resigned, Yan Shaohaizi inherited his father's position, he is both the secretary of the military department and the imperial prince, as the uncle of Wang Qianying and Wang Qianshan, he watched the two children grow up, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, how can he say kiss or not?

If he knew about the ridiculous plans of his subordinates, he would really have to pull them out and fight a hundred military sticks.

……

In the morning of this day, Wang Quanquan sat on the dragon chair with his head propped up, looked at the hundreds of officials in the audience and said slowly:

"I am old, physically and mentally exhausted, I am afraid it is difficult to be the lord of a country, today all Aiqing is here, the matter of establishing a prince should also be put on the agenda."

As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their bodies were excited, and the reason why they paid so much attention to it was to say that it was related to whether they would have a good time in the future.

If you choose a favorite master, it is needless to say that you will be added to the official and enter the lord, but if you push a wine bag and rice bag up, not only will their heads move at any time, but the entire country may also change hands.

Lian Li, as the head of the civil officials, naturally knew what Emperor Wan was thinking, and slowly stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the eldest prince has excellent conduct, virtue and convince, and is the first choice for the crown prince."

At this time, Pan Ziqian, the head of the household, also stood up:

"The minister seconded the proposal, the eldest prince befriended the literati and scholars, recruited talents for my court, and made great contributions to the society."

Seeing that everyone else had spoken, Liu Luming, as one of the six Shangshu, seemed a little inappropriate not to speak, so he also pretended to be a wat and said:

"Your Majesty, so do I."

Wang Quanquan was almost shaken off the dragon chair when he heard this, he frowned and looked at Liu Luming, and said in his heart, You kid can't say it, just stand aside and wait, what kind of fun are you making around?
