Emperor Renxiao had long known that Gu Hanzhang would not directly say who would be the emperor, but he still hoped that Gu Hanzhang would give him an opinion.

Now almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have stood in line, and there are very few courtiers who have not stood in line, even those who have not stood in line, Emperor Renxiao will not believe it.

In his heart, the person who believes most is still Gu Hanzhang, and only Gu Hanzhang can let him say what is in his heart.

"Hanzhang, you are my relative, I know that you will not harm me, and I treat Daqi sincerely. Now that I have reached this point, tell me what you think, who is suitable to be the prince. Don't worry, don't be pressured, I just want to hear your opinion, but I won't necessarily take it. "Emperor Renxiao said.

Since Emperor Renxiao's words have been said to this point, Gu Hanzhang naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness King Li is too ruthless, but in fact, he is not suitable to be a prince, if he is really in charge of the country, I am afraid that he will become a tyrant. As for His Royal Highness King Rui, he is too calculating, and it is not conducive to the society of the country, in fact, these two princes, Weichen has always thought so. I didn't say it before, because I was worried that the emperor would misunderstand, but now that the emperor has asked Weichen, then Weichen naturally has to be outspoken. Even if the emperor investigates it, he has to say that Weichen feels that he is still a loyal minister. Gu Hanzhang replied.

Hearing Gu Hanzhang's words, Emperor Renxiao nodded, agreeing with his words.

"Hanzhang, there is one thing you don't know very well, after all, you are in the west. In the past, I took into account that King Li's biological mother was Liangdi, who was the crown prince, and she had accompanied me for a long time, and she was also my first lover. It's just that now King Li is more and more disappointed in me, and I also feel that he is indeed not suitable to be a prince. As for King Rui, as you said, he is indeed too calculating, and he is also not suitable to be a prince. So what about King Yu, why don't you say it, is there a problem? Emperor Renxiao asked.

Gu Hanzhang's expression was still the same, "His Royal Highness King Yu is not bad, but Prime Minister Wen needs to pay attention to it, his power is not small." ”

Hearing Gu Hanzhang say this, Emperor Renxiao sighed, as if he had suddenly aged several years.

Speaking of which, his country doesn't seem to know who to hand it over, and these three hot princes are the ones who can't be established as princes.

As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Renxiao felt that he deserved to be a great failure.

"Alas, there is one more thing you don't know, King Li, this bastard thing, was actually involved with Shen Fang, which disappointed me. What is Shen Fang's identity, I have already thoroughly checked him, and I would like to thank you Hanzhang for speaking of it. Therefore, he wanted to marry his daughter to Lu Xiuyuan, but I would not agree, and the king of Li came to intercede, stupid as a pig! ”

Also, Lu Xiuyuan was the new champion last year anyway, and of course he couldn't cheapen people in southern Xinjiang.

Gu Hanzhang nodded, "How does the emperor plan to deal with Shen Fang?" Now the power in his hands has been taken back a lot by the emperor, but there are still some of them. If you want to deal with him justifiably, unless you expose the identity of his person from southern Xinjiang, but this point is hidden very deeply, and it is difficult to verify. ”

With just a few assassins in southern Xinjiang and some confessions, it is actually impossible to send down a military minister.

"Shen Fang's side, I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet, but this will be seen as my test for the prince." Emperor Renxiao sighed, "So, this matter is not in a hurry at all, I will take a look and decide on the candidate for the prince." ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, the candidates for the prince are not only these three princes, the emperor might as well look in a different direction. Wei Chen won't say much else, just let the emperor make up his own mind. Gu Hanzhang said casually.

As everyone knows, these words made Emperor Renxiao pause.

That's right, why didn't he think of having other sons, and it wasn't only these three sons who were qualified to inherit the throne.

As long as he is a prince, he is qualified, let alone his biological son.

"Hanzhang, you are really my lucky star, I didn't expect this at all. Okay, you go back to rest first, come to the morning tomorrow, and I will think about the rest slowly. Emperor Renxiao waved his hand happily.

Gu Hanzhang responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen retired." ”

As everyone knows, the moment Gu Hanzhang turned around, a smile flashed in his eyes, and there was a trace of determination.

Emperor Renxiao believed in him like this, but he didn't know that he was the first person to stand in line, and now he is also according to his ideas to see who is suitable to be the prince.

I have to say that Emperor Renxiao is old, and now his mind is not clear, and he doesn't know what he is doing at all, so he must have doubted it many years ago.

Fortunately, in this way, the matter can be completely resolved more quickly in the future, that is, King Li and King Rui may have to take action.

When I go back, I must remind Chao Li, don't go out casually, lest King Li or King Rui deal with her.

Of course, it is impossible for them to use their identities to deal with Chaoli or other people in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but it is very likely that they will deliberately frame others, so what Gu Hanzhang is worried about is that one of the princes will take action to frame the other prince.

But he didn't want to, Gu Hanzhang planned to do so, but when he returned to the mansion, when he heard Chao Li's words, he could only swallow the words that came to his mouth silently.

Half an hour later, Gu Hanzhang returned to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as he walked into Tingyu Pavilion, Zhaocai greeted him and told Gu Hanzhang about today's events, including who came to find Chaoli.

After hearing that there was Chaozhen, Gu Hanzhang's expression sank slightly, he didn't want Chaoli to have any displeasure and any bad mood because of those people before Chaoli.

"Alright, you go down, I know." Gu Hanzhang lightly ordered Zhaocai to go down.

Zhaocai immediately nodded, "Yes, the minion will go down immediately." ”

Gu Hanzhang raised his feet and walked into the courtyard, and did not immediately go back to the study, he was a little worried that because of Chaozhen, Chao Li's mood would be bad and his body would be unfavorable.

As soon as I walked into the house, I saw Chaoli embroidering, as if he was doing something for a child who had not yet been born, and it looked like a small piece.

"Ma'am." Gu Hanzhang shouted in a low voice.

Hearing Gu Hanzhang's voice, Chao Li raised his eyes, put down the things in his hand, and then showed a gentle smile.

"The prince is back, today the emperor summoned you to the palace, I must have said a lot, do you want to go back to the early dynasty?" Chao Li asked with a smile.

"I really can't hide anything from Madame, today is indeed like this, the emperor asked me to go to the morning court tomorrow." Gu Hanzhang said and sat beside Chao Li, reached out and gently stroked her lower abdomen, the bulge did not move this time, it seemed that the child did not welcome his father back, "Chaozhen came to see you today, okay?" ”
