Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Your Highness King Yi, the more critical the moment, the more calm you must be." Gao Ming smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with letting King Xuande take the lead temporarily.

Don't you think the rafters in front will die first? Once King Xuande is established as the crown prince, he will become the target of public criticism. I don't know how many people want to catch him.

The establishment or removal of the prince is just a matter of the emperor's thoughts, and it is not certain who will have the last laugh. "

"What do you mean, uncle, we won't fight this time?" Xiang Nan asked.

Gao Ming nodded, "Fight without fighting, do without doing anything."

"Thank you uncle for your advice." Xiang Nan bowed.

However, he knew that Gao Ming's idea was actually not clever.

The establishment and removal of a prince is actually not that simple.

Once a prince is established, it is very difficult to abolish him. It is not just wishful thinking of the emperor and he can be abolished if he wants to.

Because once there is a dispute over the abolition of the establishment, it will inevitably lead to partisan disputes. Party strife is the cruelest form of internal strife. The decline of the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties was due to party strife.

Therefore, in order to avoid shaking the foundation of the country, basically once the prince is established, he will not change it easily.

In the play, if King Xuande hadn't committed suicide and led his dead soldiers to force the palace, even if he committed suicide again, Li Hao would not depose him. Just like Li Chengji, no matter how rebellious or confused he was, the emperor was willing to give him a chance to make amends.

…

Xiang Nan then left a letter to Chai Mu, telling him about King Zhong's request to establish a prince.

Chai Mu left him a message, asking him to keep a low profile and wait for the right time. He also told him to win over the high minister and leverage his strength.

Xiang Nan nodded after reading the message.

…

Li Hao then made an appointment with Gao Ming to have a drink in the Royal Garden.

"We haven't had a drink together here for a long time," Li Hao looked at everything familiar and unfamiliar around him, smiled and said to Gao Ming, "Here, I'll toast you."

He recalled that when he, Gu Ruhui, Gao Ming, and Chen Zheng were still young, they were all friends and often had gatherings together. However, times have changed and things are very different now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Ming said quickly and respectfully.

"Yu Ming, tell me, what do you think of the establishment of the crown prince?" Li Hao then asked.

"The Danchi Rebellion has been put down, and the marriage between Xizhou and Fengchao has also been settled. Your Majesty is in the prime of his life and in good health. It is better not to rush the matter of establishing a heir, right?" Gao Ming said with a smile.

The matter of establishing the crown prince should be decided by the emperor Qiangang alone, and others should not be allowed to interfere. Although Gao Ming knew that the emperor had intended to establish a heir apparent, he still did not want others to comment.

"I have thought about it, and what the ministers said is not unreasonable. If you establish a heir as soon as possible and decide the wedding date of the prince and the ninth princess, you can stabilize the country externally and stabilize the country internally, killing two birds with one stone.

I invite Yu Ming to come today. I want you to give me some advice. Among my several sons, who is qualified to be the crown prince? "The emperor didn't want to let him go so easily, and still wanted him to give his opinion.

"I think it's King Xuande." Gao Gao Ming saw that he couldn't dodge, so he had to speak.

Seeing that he actually recommended King Xuande instead of King Yi, whom he supported, Emperor Li Fu was stunned.

"Among all the princes, King Xuande is the eldest, and there are a group of veterans such as King Zhong in the court to assist him. It is really popular to make King Xuande the crown prince!" Gao Ming immediately explained his reasons.

On the surface, he supported Li Chengye as the crown prince, but in fact, he was flattering and killing him.

Because the emperor was most taboo about his subordinates forming cliques for personal gain, which would pose a direct threat to his rule.

King Xuande had colluded with King Zhong and other senior ministers early on. If he were to serve as the crown prince and with the support of senior ministers, he could usurp the throne and seize power in a matter of minutes.

"I think Cheng Yin is also good. Not only did he pacify Dan Chi and made great achievements, he was also very filial, affectionate and righteous to the Empress Dowager, the Queen and me! I think he is doing things with ease now and will definitely be able to do so in the future. It's a big job." Li Zuo said again.

"In pacifying Dan Chi, King Yi was so heroic that the whole court was impressed... In terms of selfishness, I do favor King Yi. But establishing a crown prince is a national matter. Compared with King Xuande, King Yi is still a bit younger." Gao Ming He nodded.

He had known that the emperor intended to make King Xuande the crown prince, otherwise he would not have asked King Xuande to lead an army to attack Danchi, knowing that the prince's death was highly suspicious.

Therefore, he naturally followed the emperor's wishes and did not dare to compete.

However, even though he is so good at figuring out what is best for him, it is actually taboo.

It is said that the power of God is unpredictable, so the ministers will be trembling and walking on thin ice.

If the ministers are good at figuring out the emperor's will, then the emperor will have no majesty at all. An emperor without majesty is just a puppet on a throne.

"Yu Ming, among all the people in the court, you are the most loyal to me!" Upon hearing this, Li Hao said with a smile, but in fact, he had hidden murderous intentions in his heart.

He could trust Gao Ming and give him power, but he didn't want Gao Ming to figure out his mind.

…

Ten days later, it will be an auspicious day.

Li Zuo officially conferred the title of crown prince on the second prince, Li Chengye.

"He who rules the world under his family and inherits the lineage, why not establish a second son to stabilize the family? His second son, Xuande Wang Chengye, has a loyal and respectful nature, and he has known filial friends...

I was not accepted by Zan, and I bowed devoutly day and night. I was always afraid that the gods would not please me, and I had many problems with my political affairs... I was awarded a book of treasures and established as the crown prince. I will be in charge of the East Palace. "The nearby attendant Cao Ji read out the imperial edict loudly.

"I accept the edict and thank you for your kindness." Li Chengye accepted the imperial edict, knelt down and saluted.

"Instruct all departments to prepare. The prince and the princess of Xizhou will get married in a hundred days!" Emperor Li Zuo ordered again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chengye saluted again.

"Pingshen." Li Hao said.

Li Chengye immediately stood up, held the imperial edict high, turned around, and looked at His Highness' ministers with satisfaction.

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Crown Prince!" All the ministers bowed their heads and even Xiang Nan bowed to him.

However, Xiang Nan knew that he would not be crown prince for long.

…

Qu Xiaofeng was stunned when he learned that Li Chengye had become the prince and that she would get married to him in a hundred days.

"Shouldn't Li Chengyin be the crown prince? Why was he replaced by the second prince?" She looked at A'du in panic.

After these days of getting along, she has fallen in love with Xiang Nan. Now that she was asked to marry Li Chengye, her heart fell into an ice cave.

A'Du shook his head, there was nothing he could do.

"Princess, you are the Crown Princess who came from Xizhou to marry in the Feng Dynasty. You will marry whoever becomes the Crown Prince." Yong Niang reminded.

"Then what's the difference between me and cows, horses, and sheep? I'm sent here and there by others." Qu Xiaofeng choked up speechlessly. He didn't expect that he, the ninth princess, would be so miserable.

"Princess, be careful!" Yong Niang quickly reminded, "How noble your status is, how can you be compared with horses, cattle and sheep. Besides, the second prince is a humble man and has both ability and political integrity. It would be great for you to marry him."

"But I've only met him once. I'm not even familiar with him. How can I marry him?" Qu Xiaofeng said depressedly, "Oh, it's so annoying, so annoying."

"Princess, be careful what you say, it is taboo in the palace to say this word." Yong Niang reminded again.

"Oh, it's another rule." Qu Xiaofeng said painfully.
