Arriving at the Imperial Study Room, King Jing stood aside obediently after saluting, his eyes quietly turned to Eunuch Xiao who was standing next to him, and asked with his eyes.

Eunuch Xiao looks at his eyes, his nose and his heart, and he only knows what he is doing.

"The Emperor summoned his ministers to come over, but what is there to say?"

Emperor Zhaocheng picked up a book from the pile of memorials and read through it: "It's time to pay more attention to your marriage. I will grant you a new marriage."

King Jing frowned: "Emperor 꿵."

"What?" Emperor Zhaocheng raised his head, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Are you attracted to Yan Li?"

King Jing was stunned, Yan Li?

Why did the emperor say this?

"She is the fiancée of your Uncle Nine Emperors, you are not allowed to have her ideas." Emperor Zhaocheng misunderstood his expression and sternly warned, "Yan Li's marriage has already had an accident. If you dare to act nonsense, I will not spare you! "

King Jing was silent for a moment: "The emperor has misunderstood. I just don't want to get married yet."

Emperor Zhaocheng frowned when he heard this: "It's time for men to get married and women to get married. How old are you? You still don't want to get married. What do you want to do?"

King Jing looked around at the sandalwood dragon pillars carved with dragon patterns in the palace, and said casually: "My son has already found the woman he likes."

"What?" Emperor Zhaocheng raised his head, with a somewhat probing look in his eyes, "Have you already fallen in love with the woman you like?"

"yes."

"Whose girl is it?"

King Jing was silent for a while: "My son said, the emperor probably won't agree."

This was the reason why he didn't want to get married so early, because he knew that the emperor would not agree, so he put it off as long as he could, and if he couldn't, he put it off.

"I don't want to riddle you." Emperor Zhaocheng frowned.

King Jing seemed to be tangled up, as if he was embarrassed, his eyebrows were a little hesitant, "My son likes the girl from the Ling family."

A girl from the Ling family?

Emperor Zhaocheng's hand holding Zhubi tightened: "The Ling family of the Duke Protector's Palace?"

King Jing nodded slowly.

Emperor Zhaocheng's expression dropped slightly: "Why her?"

"I just like it, why are there so many?" King Jing seemed to be able to guess the emperor's inner scruples, his eyebrows slightly lowered, "My son, I don't ask for anything else, I just want a happy marriage, choose one and grow old together, I hope you will." Emperor Chengquan."

Emperor Zhaocheng did not speak, his expression did not distinguish between joy and anger.

"My son just happens to like Miss Ling and has nothing to do with the Protector." King Jing obviously understood the emperor's concerns and took the initiative to say, "If the emperor feels that it is inappropriate, he can demote my son to the rank of county prince. Or be demoted to common people.”

Emperor Zhaocheng squinted at him: "What do you mean?"

King Jing lifted his robe and knelt down, lowered his eyebrows and said, "I just hope that I can decide my future wife by myself without being affected by any factors."

Emperor Zhaocheng's eyes slowly narrowed: "Are you challenging me?"

"The Emperor Mingjian, I have no intention of doing this." King Jing corrected him, "I am just expressing my attitude to the Emperor. No matter what other princes think about the throne, I only want to do this in my life. A plain, idle prince will be content if he marries a woman he likes as his wife, gives birth to a pair of lovely children, and lives his life safely and smoothly. "

Emperor Zhaocheng stared at him for a moment and frowned: "Can you be more ambitious?"

"My son is very ambitious." King Jing said in a matter-of-fact tone, even with a little pride, "After all, in an imperial family, there are very few princes who can look down on fame and wealth and not be tempted by power. The emperor should be the son of the emperor. I am happy."

Emperor Zhaocheng: "..."

"Besides, the Emperor 꿵 has so many sons, 껩 is just one of them." King Jing said calmly, "The nine sons of the previous dynasty seized the throne. The Emperor 꿵 probably didn't want to see our seven sons seize the throne, right? So it is right to demote his sons to the rank of king. The best decision is to tell the civil and military officials of the dynasty that my son and ministers have no chance to take the throne and should not miss that position in this life, so as to make the prince and brother feel at ease."

In addition to the six princes who died in infancy, there was also an underage prince who was only two years old when he became emperor.

Emperor Zhaocheng's face darkened: "How presumptuous!"

King Jing bowed politely and admitted his mistake: "My dearest minister, please forgive me."

Emperor Zhaocheng looked at the piles of memorials on the case, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should be angry or disappointed, or should he be happy for his noble character who was indifferent to fame and wealth?

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Emperor Zhaocheng raised his eyes: "I'd like to let 께jiu go with your Uncle Nine Emperors to the border for training."

King Jing stepped back for a moment, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty is wise, this is a very good decision."

"What's so good about it?"

"The ninth brother has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and likes to study the art of war. If he follows the Nine Emperors Uncle to the border, in time he will definitely become a military commander like the Nine Emperors Uncle." King Jing told the truth, "The Ninth Brother has a taciturn temperament and is loyal. Can become the new generation of war god of Mu country."

Emperor Zhaocheng was silent for a moment and waved his hand: "Kneel down."

"My son, please retire."

After King Jing left, Emperor Zhaocheng said casually: "Xiao Changhai."

"The slave is here."

"What do you think of Prince Jing's temperament?"

"His Royal Highness King Jing is more...real." Xiao Changhai lowered his head, "Speak directly and you will not fool the emperor."

It really doesn't fool him.

Emperor Zhaocheng's eyebrows deepened slightly: "So it is true that he is not interested in the throne."

Xiao Changhai lowered his head. This issue was quite sensitive. How could he, a slave, dare to discuss it without permission?

Emperor Zhaocheng thought of the deposed queen, and his brows and eyes showed a bit of coldness. The recent performance of the crown prince Mu Xiuhan really disappointed him. He didn't have the bearing and ability of a crown prince.

In addition, the queen was dragging his feet, so perhaps he should seriously consider deposing the crown prince and appointing another one.

But before that, he should decide on the marriages of several princes first, so that they don't always find excuses to delay.

"Do you think I can marry the daughter of the Ling family to him?"

Xiao Changhai bowed: "Your Majesty is in his prime, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, the Ninth Prince has a large army, and the Duke of Huguo's Mansion is far from being able to dominate."

Emperor Zhaocheng fell silent for a long time without saying a word.
