The news soon spread to the Warrant Governor's Mansion, which was the residence of Lan Khan's eldest brother, Lan Di. Although it has not yet been officially appointed, the plaque of the Taiwei Mansion has been prepared, and it can be hung after the new emperor ascends the throne and issues an edict.

Lan Di, Madame Rui, Lan Quan, and Lan Mu were all waiting quietly, waiting for news from the palace. Soon, a man came in, muttering in Landi's ear, Lanmu stared at his uncle's face, trying to judge the good or bad news, but Landi remained silent, unable to guess whether this person brought good news or bad news. After the man left, Lan Quan immediately asked impatiently, "Grandpa, how is it?" ”

Lan Di glanced at Lan Mu and said, "There is good news and bad news. Lan Mu didn't speak, just waited quietly, but his heart began to fluctuate violently. Lan Di continued: "The good news is that Lan Jia Nan entered the palace and suggested to the emperor that Lan Yang be made the crown prince, but the emperor scolded him and drove him out. And the emperor canceled his promise to make him the king of Dazai and Jicheng on the spot. ”

Lan Quanxi said: "This is really good news. The bad news? ”

"The bad news is that the emperor discussed with the queen, and the result was that the crown prince would not be established for the time being." After Lan Di finished speaking, he stared at Lan Mu tightly.

"What?" Lan Mu really couldn't hold his breath and stood up on the spot, his expression of disappointment and anger on display. He thought that his father might make Lan Yang the crown prince, because he was blind in one eye and had a poor image, and Lan Yang has always been a baby, versatile, and has a better reputation than himself, and he is deeply loved by his father, but he didn't expect his father to decide not to make the prince for the time being.

Seeing her nephew's disappointed expression, Mrs. Rui persuaded: "Mu'er, if you don't establish a prince for the time being, it's not a matter of time, as long as you don't establish Lanyang, we still have a chance." ”

Lan Quan said: "I'm just afraid that the night will be long and I will have many dreams." ”

Mrs. Rui said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Lan Quan shrugged his shoulders and kept silent. Mother is right, although she is telling the truth, but saying it at this time is indeed to block Lan Mu, there is no need.

Lan Mu didn't know the truth of long nights and dreams, but the matter had come to this point, so he could only smile bitterly: "What my aunt said is right, as long as my father does not make Lan Yang the crown prince, there will still be a chance." With that, he got up and took his leave.

Lan Di smiled: "Don't be impatient. ”

Lan Mu was a little discouraged, and said lazily, "What does Uncle command?" ”

"The emperor will not appoint a prince for the time being, so we will find a way to force him to make a prince."

Lan Mu doubted: "Can it be done?" ”

Lan Di said solemnly: "In fact, the emperor's idea of not appointing the crown prince for the time being has been mentioned to me before, and he once told me that the reason why Murong Bao of the previous dynasty finally made trouble out of control was not related to the establishment of the crown prince. Lan Mu nodded, after Murong Bao succeeded to the throne, the eldest son Murong Sheng and the second son Murong Hui, both of whom were erudite and martial people, each cultivating their own forces, fighting openly and secretly, Murong Bao simply did not stand alone, and chose the youngest son Murong Ce to be the prince. originally thought that this would eliminate the fight between the two brothers of Murong Sheng and Murong Society, but unexpectedly it attracted greater internal strife and consumed each other.

Lan Quan smiled: "The result is that our Lan family is cheaper." ”

"Yes, so the emperor is very cautious about the position of the crown prince, and this time he decided not to establish the crown prince for the time being, which is also a matter of course. I also persuaded him, I told him that the prince is not established, and the world is unstable, but now it seems that the emperor did not listen to me. ”

Lan Mu was not interested in the reason why his father did not appoint the crown prince, he was only particularly sensitive to the word "forced establishment" that Lan Di just said, and asked: "Uncle just said that the prince was 'forced', what is the 'forced' method?" ”
