Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

What bothered the emperor even more was that he often heard people saying that this prince was good and that prince was good. Obviously, each prince had their own power and wanted to influence his thoughts.

These people often talked about the good qualities of the princes they recommended, and then listed the shortcomings of other princes. As a result, after the emperor heard this, he did not remember the good points, but he remembered the shortcomings clearly. There was no way, the shortcomings mentioned by those people, Many emperors really felt that this was the case, and they felt sad about it, so how could they not remember it?

Speaking of which, among these shortcomings, the emperor now even feels that the third child's doting on his charming son and beautiful concubine are nothing compared to these people.

Yes, everyone's evaluation of the third prince was similar to that of the emperor, and they also felt that he doted on his beloved concubine. But apart from this, no one could find many shortcomings in other aspects.

The emperor didn't know that this was the result of Enron's operation. Many of the people who spoke in his ears were from Enron.

She sent this person to recommend this prince to the emperor, and then talked about the shortcomings of other princes, and then sent that person to recommend another prince to the emperor, and talked about the shortcomings of other princes.

In the end, all the princes had a lot of shortcomings, but Si Yan only doted on his charming son and beautiful concubine, which was actually pretty good in comparison.

As a result, the third prince who was originally eliminated by the emperor returned to the emperor's sight again, thinking that maybe he should reconsider the third prince? After all, the other sons are even worse. They are either lecherous or violent, or they are more incompetent than the third child, or their character is not very good, and they will be punished. Such a person cannot be an emperor, lest he will bring down other brothers if he comes to power. Kill them all, the emperor doesn't want his sons to kill each other.

Although he doesn't like all his sons, he doesn't want to see his sons kill each other.

Although he had a better impression of Si Yan in his heart, the emperor was still a little dissatisfied with his obvious shortcomings. Thinking of this, after his health became worse and worse, the emperor asked the ministers to recommend candidates for the crown prince. He wanted to see the five What is the support rate for the princes among the civil and military officials above grade? If the support rate of the third child is good, let him be appointed.

He originally thought that the support rates of the other princes were higher. After all, the people who recommended him in his ears these days were all recommended by other people and never recommended the third prince.

But I didn't expect that after everyone recommended him, Si Yan had the highest approval rate in the end.

The emperor also didn't expect that he would make a mistake. He didn't expect that the third prince would have so many people supporting him.

At that moment, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Why, do so many of you support the third prince? I understand that the third prince, I can't say bad, but he has no ambitions and hangs around the inner curtain all day long, hanging around women and children. Is such a person suitable to be a prince?"

Those who recommended the third prince secretly thought that if they had not been threatened, they would not recommend the third prince. However, they did not think that others were also threatened. They only thought that they were the only one. But at this time, They finally understood who the force behind it was. After all, at this critical moment, the man asked them to recommend the third prince. Don't you understand whose force it is?

At this time, I saw that there were many people supporting the third prince, and I couldn't help but secretly thought, it seemed that I had made a mistake. This third prince, who was silent, managed so many forces. It seemed that he was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and he had some ability. Ah, in that case, okay, just recommend him, so as not to fail to recommend him according to the instructions of the people behind you. When the third prince takes office in the future, don't cause trouble for yourself.

At this time, when the emperor questioned that the third prince was not suitable to be emperor, someone stood up and said: "The third prince has no other shortcomings, so he is the most suitable candidate. Besides, being ruthless may not necessarily make you a hero. How can you not be a husband if you have a pity for a son? (——Source: Lu Xun, borrowed from )."

This man spoke so righteously, but in his heart, he secretly thought that he didn't know the merits of the third prince, or that he had objections to the candidate proposed by him. When he said that the emperor might not accept the recommendation, the other party asked him to say this. , he said this after hearing the emperor ask.

Although these two sentences sounded good, in his heart, he still felt that as an emperor, he was not qualified to revolve around women and children. It was just that people insisted on him recommending the third prince and used this as a reason. He had no choice but to I can follow this up.

But when the emperor heard what he said, his already relaxed heart nodded secretly, thinking that it was reasonable. People who are not good to their wives and children are not good people. Just like himself, isn't that the kind of person he is? In the past, he was always good to Concubine Zhou and the third prince. After they failed to live up to his expectations, he is now good to Concubine Zhou and the tenth prince. Could it be that he is bad? He is not bad. In this case, he is good to his wife and children. , in fact, it is not a shortcoming.

——At this moment, he finally remembered that he was also such a person. Before, he had always felt that a man could not live well around women and children.

But now that his impression of Si Yan had changed, he no longer thought so.

It can be seen how soft the emperor's ears are. He was taken into a ditch after being fooled by someone.

This is also the reason why he can control the honor and disgrace of the concubine at will, but he cannot control the former dynasty at all because of his dual status as the emperor and the most powerful man. He can completely dominate the concubine. limited ability.

Since the emperor already liked Si Yan now, and the ministers in the court also liked Si Yan, he issued an edict to make Si Yan the crown prince.

When the decree arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion, Si Yan was drinking fine wine and eating delicacies made by An Ran. His son was playing and running happily beside him. It was a time when the whole family was enjoying themselves. When he heard the decree, Si Yan couldn't help but be confused. , for a long time he thought he had drunk too much and was dreaming. It wasn't until An Ran knocked on him that he realized he got up to take the order.

After the angel left, Si Yan looked at the imperial edict again and found that it actually said that he would be made the prince. He couldn't help but look at An Ran dreamily and said, "I never expected that my father would actually make me the prince." , I thought my father had a strong opinion on me, after all, he doesn’t treat me very much recently, and I haven’t even met him a few times.”

An Ran secretly thought, he doesn't want to see you in the first place. If I hadn't used my means, you would have been the first to be eliminated.

However, she would definitely not say such words at this moment, so as not to spoil Si Yan's happiness, she just said: "His Highness has always been very good, and I think His Majesty also knows it. Otherwise, why would he appoint you as the crown prince? Don't worry about so much." , you should quickly enter the palace to thank me."

Only then did Si Yan come to his senses and hurriedly said, "That's right. I have to go into the palace quickly to thank you."

The emperor had not seen Si Yan for a long time. When he saw him now, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He walked around in circles, but he didn't expect that he would still be the third child.
