Xing Tianlin knew that he was delaying them to speak here, so he got up and took his leave. Xing Tianqi sent him outside the courtyard gate, and he only said two words simply: "Think twice." ”

"Don't worry." Xing Tianqi patted him on the shoulder and smiled faintly.

Su Ruoshui didn't expect that Ye Guyuanhong would go to the palace for a whole day, and when he returned to the palace, it was dark.

What is darker than the sky is the prince's face, and what is darker than the prince's face is the prince's mood.

The war in the west and north of Tanglin is now tight, and Su Yuangong led 50,000 Tanglin Iron Army to the north ten days ago to support Su Ruoshan.

After the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, there was another plague, and most of the relief grain funds allocated by the imperial court were embezzled, resulting in the displacement of a large number of victims.

The emperor ordered the reduction of taxes in Jiangnan for two years, and sent Qin to strictly investigate the flow of grain for disaster relief and re-appoint corrupt officials.

Before he could set foot on the land of Jiangnan, he was assassinated on the way. The emperor was furious about this, and even the ministers of the Qin Missions could be divided by random blades, this Jiangnan is still not the Jiangnan of Tanglin? Is this world still not the world of Ye Gu's family?

Under the emperor's anger, he wanted to drive the southern tour, the princes and the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground, the princes expressed their determination to go out on patrol for their fathers, and the old ministers in the court wept that they could not share the worries for the monarch and were the humiliation of the courtiers.

The emperor calmed down and thought that he really couldn't go down to Jiangnan in person, and his body and bones were not tossed. The dragon body has been a lot weaker recently, even if he doesn't cough, how can he go out?

I always feel that the strength is not enough to send the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the last time I sent a royal historian to the Qin mission, I was intercepted and killed, who to send now? Whoever is sent has the taste of sending someone to die.

Pick a candidate among the royal family, and the emperor's uncle doesn't have to think about it. There are only two imperial uncles, one is old, and the other is an idle prince in the border customs fiefdom, and he can't enter Beijing without an edict.

There are quite a few princes, so who should be sent one by one? Prince Ye Gu Yuanhong was silent, like a bystander, he also kowtowed when others kowtowed, and he also knelt when others knelt, just don't speak.

The third prince Ye Gu Yuanli is a famous nerd, but he has a bit of a bookish spirit. It is also reasonable to speak.

He said: "Tanglin state affairs are Ye Gu's family affairs, and as a minister and a son of people, he should be loyal and filial to the country and his family. It's just that the stakes are too big to be discussed. The son has never done anything, and I hope that my father will send a capable person to help the son make a decision. ”

Plans and decisions are all up to others, what are you doing? You don't have to take responsibility, okay? You don't need a vase to go on a tour, you can't do anything, so is there any point in going?

The fifth prince Ye Guyuan is not in the scope of consideration at all, he has no particularly outstanding strengths, nor particularly eye-catching shortcomings, he has a characteristic, every day gives people the feeling that he is wandering on the line of life and death.

He is just a medicine jar, and his body can be better for ten days and half a month, and then he will lie in bed for ten days and half a month.

The sixth prince Ye Gu Yuanming spent twelve hours a day, except for four hours for sleeping, six of the remaining eight hours were drunk. Can such a person be sent out on a southern tour? No one can drink himself to death without looking at him.

The Seventh Prince, Ye Gu Yuanqi, was a martial idiot, an outstanding martial artist in Tanglin. I can't remember anything but my fists and kicks. He didn't have to consider his personal safety when he went to the southern tour, and he was quite motivated.

"Father, let the sons go, I'll kill them if they have a cannon."

The emperor looked at his tightly clenched fists, and his eyes as big as copper bells were very cute.

When his father sees him as a good son, when he is a monarch, he is a reckless man, it's okay to be a pioneer, but it's not expected to be a general.

The Nine Emperor Son Ye Guyuan Hengwen has not learned martial arts, and he is only fifteen years old this year.

No matter how good the material is, he is a semi-finished product, not to mention that he can't see where he is better than others. Even an eagle with fledgling wings cannot fly.

It seems that the emperor can only choose one of the crown prince and the three princes, and the prince is the prince of the country and cannot be moved lightly.

The third prince went to the south of the Yangtze River and was afraid that it would be more chaotic, and the scholars who talked on paper were indeed useless. And the emperor also has another layer of worries, the queen has repeatedly suggested that the crown prince be abolished, so who is the queen among the princes?

The queen never mentioned who would be the prince after the abolition of the crown prince, but only said that although Ye Gu Yuanhong was the eldest son, after all, the bloodline was impure and it was not suitable to inherit the treasure. Ye Gu Yuanhong's mother is Princess Jinghe of Beiyi Kingdom, and he is not of pure Tanglin blood.

The princess who married Beiyi Country should not have been named the queen directly, let alone let her give birth to her eldest son, but can Ye Gu Yuanhong be blamed for all this?

The emperor had a request for Beiyi back then, so he married the princess of the country. Two years later, Beiyi was invaded by foreign tribes and asked Tanglin for help.

Empress Xiao was more than eight months pregnant at the time, and she begged the emperor bitterly.

The emperor neither remembered the kindness of Beiyi Country that had helped, nor did he read the relationship between husband and wife, so he did not move, and the money and food were not enough.

Half a year later, Beiyi drove out foreigners to rebuild their homes, and since then they have broken off relations with Tanglin. After Empress Xiao gave birth to the emperor's son Ye Gu Yuanhong, she moved to Yanqing Buddhist Monastery and no longer looked at the palace.

The Beiyi Kingdom has regained its vitality and regained its prosperity, and Tanglin has sent envoys to make friends with it several times, but they have been rejected for thousands of miles. The emperor appointed the two-year-old Ye Gu Yuanhong as the crown prince and won the understanding of the Beiyi Kingdom, but did not get the understanding of Empress Xiao.

Over the years, Tanglin and Beiyi have been at peace with each other, and they have given each other national gifts during the New Year's holidays, and there is a harmonious atmosphere on the surface.

In addition to the crown prince Ye Gu Yuanhong, among the princes, the third prince Ye Gu Yuan has learned well and is famous, so the emperor has always suspected that the third prince is the queen's person.

If this is the case, who dares to guarantee that the third child will not take advantage of the chaos when he goes to Jiangnan? Jiangnan must now demand stability, if Jiangnan is in turmoil, it will really be chaotic. The imperial court was slightly short of even the forces to suppress it.

"Yuanhong, you are the eldest son and the crown prince. It's time to govern this year, who do you think is more suitable for the candidate in Jiangnan? The emperor squinted his eyes as if he was very tired, and no one could see the essence hidden under his low eyelashes.

"Back to his father, the sons thought that the nine sons of the dragon were different, but they were all dragons. The third brother is talented, the fifth brother is virtuous, the sixth brother is bold, the seventh brother is mighty, and the ninth brother is also smart. ”

According to Ye Gu Yuanhong, it seems that except for him and Lao Jiu, it is quite appropriate for others to go.

"Who to send to the father has his own decision, and the sons dare not say anything."

Ye Gu Yuanhong can't say that he was personally chosen, and whoever he sings out is an offend. Although he is not afraid of offending, it does not mean that he is willing to offend.
