Liang Yi stood proudly in the center of the Chaoyang Palace, taking in everyone's expressions.

A scarlet python robe shows his heroic spirit.

To tell the truth, with his arrogance, he disdains to prove himself in front of these people.

As the crown prince of the current dynasty, except for the emperor, no one is qualified to question his ability.

However, the form is stronger than the person, and he also felt that the emperor did have the intention of setting up another prince.

Tidy up your python robe that was a little messy because of the competition.

Liang Yi stepped forward and looked at Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui, who were seated under Emperor Zhou.

"I don't know what other schools the two adults will take to take the exam?"

Seeing the prince asking, Chu Mengde looked at Wang Deshui, and it happened that the other party also looked at him.

As the pillars of the country, they are also the pride of the world.

Now the form of the court is naturally impossible to hide from their ears and eyes.

In terms of the succession to the throne, in fact, it is more inclined to favor the second prince who is very powerful among the ministers.

It's not that they're disloyal.

On the contrary, it is because they are absolutely loyal to the Great Zhou and the Emperor Zhou that they will make such considerations.

The Great Zhou is now like a flat boat adrift in the ocean.

A slightly bigger storm will be doomed.

The second prince has a high reputation among the ministers, and if he is the crown prince, he can quickly stabilize the turmoil caused by the emperor's death.

Originally, this poetry conference in Chaoyang Hall was to let the emperor abolish Liang Yi's crown prince and elect the second prince to the throne.

This matter itself was also angry in front of Emperor Zhou.

Although Emperor Zhou did not agree, it can be seen from the fact that he summoned the six princes together that the emperor did have the intention of abolishing the prince.

Who would have thought that today's prince's performance was extraordinary.

That's what was unplanned.

Regardless of whether there is a master behind the prince to guide him.

The idea of using the poetry conference to set up another prince must have failed.

There was no way, Chu Mengde was like eating 10,000 flies, and got up and bowed slightly to Liang Yi.

"The crown prince is the best in both poetry and politics, and if the prince can maintain this talent, he will definitely be a generation of saintly monarchs in the future."

The implication is that whether you are capable or not is still a matter of opinion, and you have to observe and observe.

Liang Yi naturally heard the meaning of the words, but he didn't bird Chu Mengde, but bowed to Emperor Zhou.

"My son's performance today, please also ask my father for some advice."

Whether it is the third prince or the prince, or an ordinary official.

Hearing Liang Yi's words, his eyes were fixed.

Would the emperor please give me some advice?

The poetry conference was originally used to judge the princes.

If the emperor really gives advice, it basically means that the emperor has designated a successor.

In the Great Zhou, the crown prince was only the closest person to the prince, which did not mean that he would definitely inherit the throne in the future.

On the contrary, the Great Zhou Dynasty began to divide one side in the last years of the previous dynasty, and then later ruled the world, and no emperor succeeded to the throne as a crown prince.

And if he is designated as the prince, it means that the selection of officials and system changes in the imperial court will go through Liang Yi's hands in the future.

Emperor Zhou will also begin to tailor a new civil and military team for Liang Yi.

This point, whether it is the second prince or the fourth prince, is absolutely unacceptable.

looked at Emperor Zhou, who seemed to be really thinking about Liang Yi's mistakes.

The second prince, Liang Ding, couldn't help but walk up to Emperor Zhou and bow down.

"Father, I haven't taken the school exam yet, why don't I wait until I finish the school exam with the fourth child, and then listen to my father's guidance together? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be outstanding, and we mediocre princes need more guidance. ”

Among the ministers, they supported the second prince, and the ministers who were friendly with the second prince also agreed.

"Yes, the ministers are stupid, and they also want to be instructed by the monarch!"

This is a Yang Mou!

Looking at the ministers who followed the second prince, Liang Liang raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that his stupid second brother would come up with such a solution.

The crown prince wants to wait for the emperor's guidance?

Okay, my younger brother and I are also studious, it's okay to ask Emperor Lao Tzu for advice when I am a son, right? The Son of Heaven can't favor one over the other, right?

The prince wants to learn, and the minister has to learn even more, as a monarch's father, it is impossible not to have this kind of good story that is suitable for monarchs and ministers, right?

Looking at the prince who looked like usual, he seemed to be confident, and he didn't know what to do.

Liang Yi didn't have the hope that he would be able to sit on the throne now.

His real purpose was not that.

Putting away some of his proud looks, Liang Yi glanced at Liang Ding beside him, and then asked:

"Enlighten my father, my sons have some questions, I want to ask my godfather and the ministers, and please don't hesitate to give advice."

Emperor Zhou, who was still hesitating to give Liang Yi some advice, saw Liang Yi asking questions by himself, and he had some doubts in his heart.

"Just ask."

Liang Yi glanced back at the ministers, and then said slowly:

"I want to ask the princes in the court, what is the situation of my Da Zhou now?"

The voice was not loud, but it made the court fall into a deathly silence again.

What is the problem?

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other.

Prince, this is asking politics?!

"My Great Zhou song and dance are leveling, Haiyan River is clear, and it is ......"

Before a minister could finish the words in his mouth, he was scolded back by Liang Yi.

"Fart!"

"Prince! As a member of the imperial family, how can he be rude in words! ”

It was Han Qi, the imperial historian, who reprimanded.

Liang Yi ignored Han Qi, but said to himself:

"Since the early spring of this year, there have been no less than 20 droughts and floods in various places that I know of, among which the Huainan drought-stricken people have all arrived in Shangjing, which is also called Haiyan River Qing?"

"The southwest is in rebellion, and the thief army has broken through the city, can this still sing and dance?"

"What? Do you have to put the people on your necks to see if you are the sign of the country? ”

The barrage-like interrogation made the Manchu civil and military officials speechless.

And Emperor Zhou, who was on the throne, looked at the silent ministers and was extremely tired.

"Okay, I always have to come into contact with these, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, so that you can know the difficulty of governing the country, three Aiqing!"

Hearing Emperor Zhou's words, Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui, who were sitting on the third public seat, stood up, and Ling Ziqi was injured and still sat in his position.

Among the three, Wang Deshui was the first to speak.

"Since the beginning of spring this year, the drought in Huainan, Shandong, Hebei and other places has been severe, the Huaihe River and the Yellow River have been cut off, Fengyang and Huai'an have been eaten by children, the waters of the Yangtze River have skyrocketed, Wuchang, Jiujiang, Raozhou and other thirteen prefectures have been affected to varying degrees, and hundreds of thousands of people have been flooded in towns and villages along the river."

"According to statistics, these two catastrophes have produced more than one million displaced people, of which 186,000 displaced people have been treated in Beijing alone, and my Great Zhou treasury is so clean that it can run horses......"

After that, Wang Deshui sat down slowly, and then Ling Ziqi spoke.

"At the beginning of April, envoys from Zhejiang and Jiangsu reported that a large number of pirates had attacked coastal towns in the coastal provinces, a large number of merchant ships had been hijacked, and goods had suffered serious losses."

"In June, the Tusi of Yunnan and Guizhou rebelled, the city of Guiyang Mansion was broken, and the two mansions of Pingyue and Zunyi had been besieged for more than a month; Yesterday, there was a news from Datong that Beiliang was mobilizing troops and horses, and the six guards of Mobei were in an emergency......"
