Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 262 Great doubts

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

   Silence!

   From the point of view of content alone, this decree is both reasonable and unexpected to everyone.

  It is reasonable because the royal family pays attention to the establishment of the heir and the chief. The original match of the emperor of Chengde died early, and there is no heir, that is to say, the first prince Ji Ku was originally the legal first-in-line heir, and it seems reasonable and reasonable for him to become the crown prince of Dajin.

   However, the emperor of Chengde is not an ordinary emperor!

   He had already withstood the pressure of those civil officials and broke free from the shackles of the patriarchal system. If he wanted to establish a direct line, he could have established it more than ten years ago. Why bother to fight with those civil officials until today there is no crown prince?

   It was because the First Prince was useless and the Emperor Chengde looked down on him, so the position of the East Palace was dragged on until today!

  The dispute over the national title has dragged on until now, and even the eldest prince Ji Kui himself has given up the idea of ​​arguing for the crown prince.

  Even when the emperor of Chengde was assassinated, this guy could hide if he could. As long as it wasn't for him to come forward, he would hide in the palace of the King of Qin and hang out with his beautiful wife and concubine.

   At this moment, the great good thing suddenly came down, and the chubby eldest prince, His Royal Highness, was completely stunned.

   The other three princes were also stunned.

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

   They also gave up the eldest prince early.

   Only those pedantic literati knelt down and kowtowed with tears in their eyes: "Your Majesty!"

  The fact that His Majesty can stand up as a leader means that they won the "fight" in this national battle!

   Li Xin, who was standing in the last row, was also stunned at this time. This Chengde emperor was completely beyond his previous expectations.

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

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

   This emperor, was stabbed stupidly?

No one in the capital knows the virtues of the eldest prince. For all these years, he has played with women other than playing with women. First, he has no foundation in the court, and secondly, he has no military support, so he has the identity of the eldest son. Besides, it can be said to be useless.

   Such a person sits on the throne of the prince...

   Can you sit comfortably?

   Among the four princes, any one of the other three princes will sit on the throne of the prince, and most of the other princes will put out their thoughts of contending for greatness, and the battle for the crown prince will be settled.

   But, the first prince alone...

   In other words, this fat pig alone cannot become the prince.

   No prince will be convinced!

  The emperor glanced at the ministers indifferently, and said, "It is the ancestral rule to establish the successor and the elder, and now I abide by the ancestral rules, what are your objections?"

  In the past, it was all ministers who carried the banner of ancestral rules to fight against the emperor. Even so, the emperor’s side often prevailed. If today Zi personally carries the banner of ancestral rules, who can stand it?

   No one dared to talk too much.

   All the officials knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Your Majesty is holy."

   After these people kowtowed to the emperor, they kowtowed to Ji Ku, who had just become the crown prince.

   "The ministers and others are here to meet His Royal Highness."

  The emperor's eldest son Ji Ku, who was a little bloated, turned his head with some difficulty and looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground.

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

  I... become a prince?

Why…

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

   "Thank you, Your Highness."

  The emperor glanced coldly at the three princes who were still standing, and said solemnly, "You still haven't met the prince?"

  The third prince, Ji Zhong, was sullen, but he still managed to endure it.

  The three princes were all resentful, but the matter had come to this point, there was no other way but to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Ji Kui.

   "My brother, wait, I have seen His Royal Highness!"

  The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and reluctantly stood up from the dragon chair.

   "All ministers."

"Most of you have heard about the Beishan paddock. I was indeed stabbed, and the injuries were not minor, but due to state affairs, I have never been able to take a good rest. Now that I have established a prince, I can let the prince supervise the country and rest in peace. already."

   "From now on, all political affairs in the DPRK and China will be handed over to the East Palace, and the prince will discuss it with the prime ministers. Do the ministers think it's okay?"

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

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

The grey-haired servant Huan Chu hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth, and went out of the class with the court in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the position of the crown prince involves the country's foundation, so you should be cautious and not be so hasty. I ask Your Majesty to temporarily withdraw this imperial decree and discuss it again!"

  Huan Chu took great courage to stand up and say this.

   Because of this sentence, he will directly offend the Crown Prince. As long as the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, the best outcome for Huan Chu is to be dismissed from office.

   No guarantee for the evening festival!

   But being able to stand up bravely at this time shows the loyalty and bravery of this Prime Minister Huan.

  The emperor gave Huan Chu a light look: "Xianxiang Huan thinks that I am not careful enough to establish the prince?"

   Lao Huan Chu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not what the old minister means, what the old minister means is..."

   Before he could finish his words, the Emperor Chengde interrupted him impatiently.

   "Okay, today's Crown Prince was decided by me after careful consideration. Although this is a matter of state and my family, I am the monarch and the head of the family, so I can't be the master of this matter?"

  Huan Chu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty will do it naturally."

   "Then stop talking."

  The emperor coughed and said indifferently to the big **** beside him: "Chen Ju, I'm tired, let them go."

  The **** took two steps forward and sang loudly: "Hundred officials retreat to the dynasty—"

  The hall was silent and many people were reluctant to leave.

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

  Shang Shusheng Zuo Pushe, the current Prime Minister Zhang Qu, although he could not understand what the emperor of Chengde did, but he was the head of the hundred officials, and he needed to stand up and sort out the order at this time.

   This Lord Haoran has been raising the air of Haoran all his life, and his voice is naturally very loud, and he only snorted.

   "Can't you hear what the Grand Duke said!"

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

   Pei Jin, Pei Saburo, and Chong's head, Chong Xuantong, who were standing at the front of the military officers, although they couldn't understand the emperor, didn't say much, so they slowly left the Changle Palace.

  The military attachés followed them and left Changle Palace.

  Li Xin was originally standing in the last row, but at this time he went upstream, passed the civil and military officials, went all the way to the front row, and came to the front of the four princes.

   At this moment, the Seventh Prince Ji Wen was trembling with anger, standing still and refusing to move.

   Li Xin stepped forward and pulled his sleeve.

   "Your Highness, go!"

  The Seventh Prince looked back at Li Xin.

  Li Xin snorted: "Trust me, go!"
