Many people looked at Ning Guogong with admiration, and secretly praised in their hearts, worthy of being the secretary of the Ministry of War, and dared to go against the emperor in public.

The queen looked at him with a stunned expression, puzzled and angry in her heart.

Brother is crazy, the emperor obviously doesn't want to make a prince at this time, didn't he let the emperor not come to the stage in public?

Besides, although the second prince Zhao Yunian is dead, how can he turn around and support the fourth prince as the crown prince?

Although she is no longer young, it does not mean that she cannot be reborn.

In case she can have another son, the crown prince can only be her son!

The emperor didn't expect that Ning Guogong would stand up and openly support the four princes. As soon as his nephew died, he turned around to support others, does this have to seek a contribution from the dragon?

The emperor's face was as heavy as ink, and he said to Ning Guogong in a cold voice, "What, Ning Guogong is going to help me make a decision?"

Ning Guogong straightened up, changed his previous respect, and looked directly at the emperor, "The minister just thinks that the emperor should appoint a prince." Since the fourth prince has outstanding ability, why not make him the crown prince as soon as possible? This is not only what everyone expects, even if the emperor is not in good health in the future, in case something happens, the prince can also take on the responsibility of the court as soon as possible, so as not to ruin our country! ”

As soon as Ning Guogong's words came out, the audience fell silent.

At this time, not to mention that no one dared to speak, everyone almost didn't dare to breathe. After hearing Ning Guogong say such a rebellious thing to the emperor, they all wanted to become deaf and blind.

Everyone was worried in their hearts, and they didn't know if they would be angry with the emperor.

The queen couldn't believe that this was the brother who everyone praised him, and only thought that he had gone crazy today. Could it be that he is tired of living? It's just that he wants to die, don't drag her down!

Although her royal son died, she still had a daughter, as well as her parents and brothers, so she didn't want to be killed by him like this.

The queen was angry in her heart, but at this time, she didn't have time to think about how her brother was like a different person, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "Come on, Ning Guogong is drunk, send him back to the house to rest." ”

Glaring at Ning Guogong angrily, the queen pulled out a smile and turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Ning Guogong is drunk, what he just said is all nonsense, don't take it to heart." When he wakes up tomorrow, the concubine will let him enter the palace to ask you for his guilt. ”

The emperor was originally extremely angry in his heart, but seeing the queen's much older face, thinking of the tragic death of the second prince, the anger in his heart dissipated a little, and he looked at Ning Guogong coldly.

"For the queen's sake, I'll just let you get drunk, come and help Ning Guogong down."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and secretly praised the emperor in their hearts for being a broad-minded monarch, and he didn't blame Ning Guogong for the past.

Just when everyone thought that the Ningguo Guild would be helped down by the two eunuchs who came up, who knew that he threw the eunuch away with a wave of his hand.

Not only did he not retreat, but he also looked directly at the emperor and said, "The minister just drank tea, he was not drunk at all, and he was very ......sober."

The queen originally thought that she had handed over the steps, and the Ningguo Guild would go down, but who knew that he didn't care at all. For fear that he would say something rebellious, he quickly interrupted him, "Big brother, you can't go crazy." You're feverish, you're talking nonsense here. Hurry down, I'll have the Imperial Doctor come and treat you." ”

Interrupted by the queen, Ning Guogong looked at her dissatisfied, "Thank you for the queen's concern, the minister is in good health, and there is no need to see a doctor." ”

No one in the banquet dared to speak, everyone looked at Ning Guogong silently, no one expected that he would dare to disobey the emperor in public in order to support the four princes.

The fourth prince looked at Ning Guogong with a touched face at this time, he never knew that Ning Guogong was so optimistic about himself, and in order to support himself as the crown prince, he dared to face his father.

At this time, he was both moved and deeply uneasy in his heart.

Ning Guogong ignored everyone's opinions, and once again bowed his hand to the emperor and said, "The four princes are outstanding, intelligent, benevolent, and virtuous, and they are enough to assume the position of the crown prince." Minister, please ask the emperor to appoint the four princes as the crown prince! ”

There was a dead silence all around.

The emperor sank like water, staring coldly at Ning Guogong for a long time before he slowly spoke, "What if I don't agree?" ”

The four princes who originally looked at the emperor nervously heard this sentence, and the light in their eyes quickly disappeared.

Before, the fourth prince never thought that he would become the crown prince one day, let alone Xiao Xiang's supreme position.

Although the second prince is not the elder, his biological mother is the queen, and there is a military department Shangshu who holds one-third of the military power of the Yuankang Dynasty as an uncle. There is also the eldest prince, although he is not a descendant, but he is the first prince of the emperor, and his biological mother Zhao Guifei has always been favored in front of the emperor.

And his mother has always lived a very low-key life in the palace, she herself has never fought or won, and she has never taught him to compete with other brothers.

In the eyes of the four princes, there are two royal brothers who are higher than him and favored by him, and the position of the crown prince will only be one between them. Anyway, no matter how he chooses, his father will not choose him as the crown prince.

So the fourth prince has known since he was a child that he will be an idle prince at most in the future.

Until several other imperial brothers had accidents one after another, Concubine Zhuang Xian suddenly changed her previous attitude of not fighting or grabbing, and pushed him out, wanting him to sit in that supreme position.

With a nervous mood, he took charge of the country and handled the government on behalf of his father, he originally thought that he would encounter a bunch of difficulties, as well as the courtiers' pickiness and dissatisfaction with him.

Unexpectedly, the imaginary difficulties were not encountered at all, and many officials were full of praise for him. Even Ning Guogong, who had a heavy army, supported him, which made the four princes suddenly more confident.

During this period of time when the emperor was in charge of the country, the four princes really realized the benefits of holding imperial power, and naturally inevitably longed for that supreme position.

However, his father poured a large basin of cold water on him in public.

The fiery heart of the fourth prince quickly cooled.

Ning Guogong ignored the emperor's forced gaze, straightened his waist, and the respect on his face no longer existed.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at Ning Guogong, her eyes fell on Concubine Zhuang Xian's delicate face that kept changing, and she paused, and then lightly opened her lips.

Ning Guogong's change was not concealed, many people saw it, and just when everyone thought that he would speak again, who knew that Concubine Zhuang Xian suddenly said to the emperor with a hideous face, "Since you don't want Yuan'er to be the prince, then you should die." As long as you die, the crown prince's position is Yuan'er's, and no one can take it away, hahaha......"

Everyone looked at Concubine Zhuang Xian, who looked like she was crazy, completely stunned by this change.

The fourth prince, Zhao Zhiyuan, looked at his mother concubine with a stunned expression, and his face changed in panic.

The emperor stood up angrily and stretched out his hand to point at Concubine Zhuang Xian, but before he could speak, he suddenly covered his chest with his hand, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
