After the emperor appointed Zhou Ge Lao as the first assistant, he then started to think about other things.

During this period of time, the number of important ministers of the former dynasty came and went to the Qianqing Palace more frequently, but not to visit the sick, but to discuss political affairs.

Su Youyi interestingly reduced the number of times she went to the Qianqing Palace, and only occasionally asked Shuya and the nurse to take the little prince to see the emperor, and the emperor liked the little princes to accompany him.

It wasn't until a few days later that the news came out one after another.

"The emperor wants to appoint the crown prince in charge, saying that the country cannot be without a king for a day, even if there is a chief assistant in the court, a prince is still needed to supervise the country on behalf of the son of heaven."

Su Youyi, the candidate for this prince, doesn't need to think about it, she is almost ready to come out.

The emperor asked her about the candidate before, and she had a guess in her heart that the emperor might soon make a prince.

I just didn't expect it so soon.

Around that time, the emperor didn't expect his health to be so bad, right?

When the news reached the East Fourth Institute, the atmosphere between the princes was obviously strange.

If the emperor wants to appoint the crown prince in charge of the country, he can naturally only choose from among the three older princes, and the four princes and below are too young to bear the responsibility of supervising the country at all.

Who will be among the three of them?

The second prince dodged and was uncertain.

Even though the eldest prince didn't care about these things, he couldn't help but think about it at this juncture.

However, the three princes are much more peaceful.

If the emperor's mind has not changed with the change of time, then he should know who the prince is to choose for......

A few days later, the emperor solemnly ordered Gao Qishou to deliver a decree and invite the princes to the Qianqing Palace to meet him.

When the princes went, they found that the ministers of the court and the central government were there, even Su Youyi, and the atmosphere was very serious and heavy.

The emperor no longer lay on the bed, but sat on the couch with his clothes on, and Su Youyi was sitting on the side to help.

Several princes were a little nervous, and after coming forward to say goodbye, they didn't say much.

Su Youyi's gaze swept over the three of them, and quietly gave them a smile, the eldest prince's face was a little stiff, the second prince lowered his head to dodge, and only the third prince smiled back.

The emperor spoke, his voice was slightly hoarse, "I called the queen and the princes, and the ministers to the Qianqing Palace today. ”

Zhou Shoufu, Su Qing, Jiang Su and others, who were standing on the periphery, looked at each other with strange expressions.

Previously, the emperor asked them to propose a candidate for the crown prince, but everyone asked individually, and none of them knew who the other party answered.

Jiang Su replied naturally as the eldest prince.

He glanced at Su Qing with disdain, and said in his heart that Su Qing should not answer the fourth prince, right?

The four princes are the oldest among the princes under Su Youyi's knees, but they are still too young, where can they compare to the first three older princes?

If Su Qingzhen is so confused, it will be ridiculous.

As for Zhou Shoufu......

Jiang Su frowned.

Recently, Zhou Shoufu and Su Qing have been getting closer, if these two people are plotting behind their backs, it will not be easy......

The emperor said: "I am sick. Mian, powerless government. Although the DPRK and the Central Committee have all the love and support of Kuang, in the end it is not a system. Therefore, I want to set up the crown prince to supervise the country, and I also asked your Aiqing for advice before making a decision. ”

The alarm bell sounded in the minds of the ministers.

Worst.

The emperor has already decided on the candidate, and if the candidate they are talking about is different from the emperor's decision, it is inevitable that they will have to wear small shoes in the future.

I don't know who the emperor chose?

The emperor slowly picked it up, "To my relief, most of the candidates recommended by Aiqing are the same, and the queen coincides with my intentions. ”

Su Youyi lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, not caring at all about the eyes of the ministers who were secretly looking at her.

"I am determined to make the great prince Yuanzhi the crown prince."

Really!

Jiang Su was so excited that his hands and feet were numb, and he couldn't help but secretly look at Zhou Shoufu and Su Qing, and found that the two of them were also smiling.

Could it be that they are also recommending the eldest prince?

It doesn't make sense.

Jiang Su's face was inexplicable, and the eldest prince had already knelt down, "How can the son-in-law be able to bear the heavy trust of his father." ”

The canonization of the crown prince, no matter what the canonized person thinks, should be resigned.

This is the only way to reflect the humility and benevolence of those in power.

Su Youyi secretly looked at the eldest prince and showed a satisfied smile.

In such a tense moment, it is rare for him to be able to do it without losing his royal demeanor.

The emperor smiled and motioned to Gao Qishou to help him up, "You are the eldest son of all the princes, and your name is right." Since I decided that it was you, you could afford it. ”

The eldest prince slowly stood up and straightened his back, "Yes, son-in-law Xie Father." In the future, he must be diligent and self-explanatory, and devote himself to managing the government for his father. ”

The second prince's face turned pale.

Knowing that the result would be like this, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Also, Concubine Xian has passed away, Li Fu is first a Li Ge Lao, and then a Ji Yushen, although the position of the first assistant is infinitely beautiful, in the end they all ended up being convicted and dying.

How could he become a crown prince?

The eyes of the third prince were full of hope, looking at the back of the eldest prince, remembering what the emperor had said to him back then.

The emperor's mind has never changed.

It's just that......

He lowered his head slightly, if it weren't for the emperor's poor health now, in a few years, when a few young princes grow up, the emperor's mind may not change.

It can only be said that it was luck.

The eldest prince caught up with this fortune, and he should become the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, the emperor quickly said shocking words again, "It's just that the prince is still young and not old enough, so I don't feel at ease." Therefore, the queen taught the prince on behalf of me and assisted in the administration of the court. ”

"What?!"

It is a rule passed down from generation to generation that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the emperor let Su Youyi, the queen, directly participate in the government politics, what does this mean?

Previously, the emperor was infected with the epidemic, and he heard that the reciprocal folds were all approved by Su Youyi, because during the extraordinary period, the ministers only thought that they didn't know, but they didn't expect the emperor to do even more excessively now.

Zhou Shoufu frowned, as if he wanted to say something.

Jiang Su stood up anxiously first, "Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can the emperor let the queen mother-"

The emperor's gaze swept over him.

Jiang Su was a little frightened, and he was busy climbing Zhou Shoufu, he knew that Su Qing couldn't count on it, "Zhou Shoufu, you are an old man with high morality, and you are the respect of Shoufu, you have something to say!" ”

The emperor hasn't died yet, how can he let a harem woman interfere in court politics?

Zhou Shoufu frowned for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth, "If you want to say that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, there are exceptions." Too. Zu ascended the throne at the age of eight, wasn't it the Empress Dowager who helped him at that time, so that the government could be smooth sailing? ”

Jiang Su gasped, "What kind of person is the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, in fact, anyone can make a comparison?" ”

He would never agree with the emperor's idea.
