After this holy decree came down, the needles could be heard in the Changle Palace.

Silent

Judging from the content alone, this decree is both reasonable and unexpected for all.

It is reasonable because the royal family pays attention to the establishment of a successor, and the original son of Chengde died early and has no son-in-law, which means that the eldest prince Ji Yu was originally the legitimate first heir, and it seems reasonable for him to become the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, the Emperor of Chengde was not an ordinary emperor

He has long withstood the pressure of those civil officials, broke free from the shackles of the patriarchal system, if he wants to establish a successor, he can be established more than ten years earlier, why bother to fight with those civil officials until today has not established a crown prince

It is because the eldest prince is useless and the emperor of Chengde looks down on him, so the position of the East Palace has been delayed until today

The dispute over the country has dragged on until now, and even the eldest prince Ji Yu himself has given up the idea of fighting for the prince, and has begun to indulge in lust and no longer pay attention to the court fight.

Even if the Son of Chengde was assassinated, this thing can be hidden, as long as it is not for him to come forward, he will hide in the palace of King Qin and mingle with his wife and concubine.

At this time, a great good thing suddenly fell down, and His Royal Highness the chubby prince was stunned.

The other three princes were also stunned.

The prime ministers of the three provinces, the officials of the six ministries, and the nine kings of the court were all confused at this time.

They also gave up the eldest prince early.

Only those pedantic literati knelt on the ground and kowtowed, with tears in their eyes: "Your Majesty Shengming"

Your Majesty's ability to stand up shows that they have won this battle for the country's capital

Li Xin, who was standing in the last row, was also stunned at this time, this Chengde Tianzi was completely out of his previous expectations.

Because he was in the last row, Li Xin could look up at the Chengde Emperor unscrupulously.

At this time, his small eyes were full of big doubts.

This son of heaven was stabbed stupidly

What kind of virtue does this eldest prince have, who in the capital doesn't know, over the years, in addition to playing with women is playing with women, firstly, he has no foundation in the court, and secondly, he does not have any military support, and he is the eldest son of the emperor, it can be said that he is useless.

Such a person sat on the throne of the crown prince

Sit safely

Among the four princes, any one of the other three princes will sit on the throne of the crown prince, and most of the other princes will extinguish the idea of fighting for power, and the dust will settle in this battle for the prince.

However, this great prince is alone

In other words, it is not enough for this fat pig to become the crown prince alone.

No prince will be convinced

The Son of Heaven glanced at the ministers lightly, and said: It is the rule of the ancestors to establish a successor, and now that I abide by the rules of the ancestors, what objections do you have?

In the past, it was the ministers who carried the banner of the ancestral rules to fight against the emperor, even so, the emperor's side often still had the upper hand, such as today's son personally carrying the banner of the ancestral rules, who can carry it

None of them dared to talk much.

All the officials knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

After these people kowtowed to the Son of Heaven, they kowtowed to Ji Yu, who had just become the crown prince.

"The ministers will knock on His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ji Yu, the eldest son of the emperor, who was a little bloated, turned his head with some difficulty at this time and looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground.

At this time, the emperor's eldest son's small eyes were also full of big doubts.

I'm a prince

Why?

He raised his hand in a daze: "You guys get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The Son of Heaven glanced coldly at the three princes who were still standing, and said in a deep voice: "You still haven't knocked on the prince."

The third prince Ji Zhong was angry, but he still endured it.

The three princes were all angry, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Ji Yu.

"Brothers, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince"

The Son of Heaven nodded in satisfaction and reluctantly stood up from the dragon chair.

"Gentlemen."

"Most of you have heard about the Beishan enclosure, I was indeed resigned, and the injury was not light, but due to state affairs, I have not been able to recuperate, and now that I have established the prince, I can let the prince recuperate in the country and recuperate with peace of mind."

"In the future, all political affairs in the DPRK and China will be submitted to the East Palace, and the crown prince and the prime ministers will discuss together.

At this time, of course, no one dares to be a bird.

But no one nodded in agreement, after all, today's court meeting was too unexpected.

The gray-haired subordinate Zhong Huan Chu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, and said with a court wat in his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the position of the prince involves the country, and he should be cautious, and he should not be so hasty, and the minister asks His Majesty to temporarily withdraw this holy decree and discuss it again."

Huan Chu was able to stand up and say this, which was a great courage.

Because of this sentence, it will directly offend His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as the prince succeeds in the throne, the best fate for Huan Chu is to dismiss the official.

Late festival is not guaranteed

However, being able to stand up bravely at this time shows the loyalty and courage of this prime minister.

The Son of Heaven glanced at Huan Chu lightly: "Huan Xiang thinks that the prince is not cautious enough"

Lao Huan Chu bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't mean this, the old minister means"

Before he could say any more, the Son of Chengde interrupted him impatiently.

"Okay, today's crown prince was decided by me after careful consideration, although this is a state affair, it is also a family affair, I am the monarch of the country, and I am also the head of the family, so I can't be the master of this matter?"

Huan Chu bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty naturally did it." ”

"Then don't say any more."

The Son of Heaven coughed, and said indifferently to the big eunuch on the side: "Chen Ju, I'm tired, let them disperse." ”

The big eunuch took two steps forward and sang loudly: "Hundred officials retreat from the court"

There was silence in the court, and many people were reluctant to leave.

Especially the three princes except Ji Yu, everyone stood in the first row and was unwilling to leave.

Shangshu Province Zuo Servant, that is, the current Prime Minister Zhang Qu, although he can't understand what the Chengde Son of Heaven did, but he is the head of the hundred officials, and he needs to stand up and sort out the order at this time.

This Haoran Gong has been cultivating Haoran all his life, and his voice is naturally very loud, only to hear him shout lowly.

"Can't you hear the words of the Grand Duke?"

He is the head of the civil officials, he opened his mouth, and those civil officials naturally scattered birds and beasts.

Pei Jin Pei Saburo, who was standing at the front of the military attaché, and Chong Xuantong, the head of the Seed Family, although they couldn't understand the Son of Heaven, didn't say much, and slowly withdrew from Changle Palace.

The military attaches followed behind them and also left Changle Palace.

Li Xin was originally standing in the last row, but at this time, he went upstream, crossed the civil and military officials, and walked to the front row until he came to the four princes.

At this time, the Seventh Prince Ji Wen trembled with anger, standing in place and refusing to move.

Li Xin stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve.

"Your Highness, go"

The Seventh Prince glanced back at Li Xin.

Li Xin shouted: "Believe me, go quickly"
