Urban Spirit Sword Fairy

Chapter 1544 Proclamation

Xiao Yuanjing naturally knew what his father thought, he knew that his father had always wanted him to inherit the throne.

But he is really not interested in the matter of the throne.

He said, "Father, you should think about it carefully."

After speaking, he turned around and strode away.

After Xiao Yuanjing left for a long time, Emperor Yan slowly opened his eyes, and then asked Huang Zishi, "What do you think of Yuanlong?"

Huang Zishi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is your family business, I..."

"Just say what you want, there's so much nonsense." Yan Huang glared at Huang Zishi.

Huang Zishi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of it, the Second Prince and the Third Prince are not bad, but in comparison, they are indeed a little worse than Prince Ren."

"As Prince Zhen said, Prince Ren was born in the market and knows what the people think. This is something that few emperors have achieved in all dynasties." Huang Zishi glanced at Emperor Yan, and then said: "The other is the second prince, the third The prince these years, because of the Crown Prince and Prince Zhen, they basically have no idea of ​​seizing the throne, they eat, drink and have fun every day, and they don't care about the government."

"Let's not talk about making friends with other ministers. Since Prince Ren is on the throne, he can be both a civil servant and a military commander. If Prince Zhen is unwilling to succeed to the throne, Prince Ren is indeed the best choice."

Hearing Huang Zishi's words, Emperor Yan also had some decisions in his heart.

He didn't have much time, he said: "Prince Xuanren will come to court tomorrow."

"The other three gentlemen and those from the military, let us know and come tomorrow."

Huang Zishi moved his eyes and nodded slightly: "It's Your Majesty."

In the court hall in the early morning of the next day, all the civil servants looked solemn, even after learning that Ye Liangping had led the army back to Dalin County, they still remained the same.

The reason is also very simple, Xiao Yuanshen's death.

Of course, except for people like Zhao Wenxin who raised Xiao Yuanshen from childhood, the relationship between the others and Xiao Yuanshen is only a matter of interests.

It would not be sad for Xiao Yuanshen.

It's just that Xiao Yuanshen is dead, and Prince Zhen is the most vocal voice to become the new prince.

As far as civil servants are concerned, they are naturally more happy to see civil servants become princes rather than generals.

Let's take a step back and say that the emperor had just died of a son, and many ministers couldn't smile all over their faces, so what did Emperor Yan think.

As for the generals, it is almost the latter idea.

In short, the entire court was a little gloomy.

At this time, Emperor Yan strode into the main hall from the side door and sat on the dragon chair.

"I'm looking for you today, and you should be able to guess something more or less." Emperor Yan looked at the many courtiers below, and said: "Xiao Yuanshen has been deprived of the crown prince, but you are also more aware of my physical condition. Therefore, the most important thing today is to determine the candidate for the crown prince."

Prince's candidate.

Everyone looked at Emperor Yan, but did not say a word. It stands to reason that it is Emperor Yan's private matter to establish a crown prince.

Even the most powerful officials dare not make any remarks on this matter.

Now that Emperor Yan has spoken out directly, it means that Emperor Yan already has a candidate.

Whether it is a civil servant or a general, they couldn't help looking at Xiao Yuanjing.

Xiao Yuanjing was wearing a white robe at this time, with his hands behind his back, standing there like an ordinary handsome young man.

Everyone thought that Xiao Yuanjing was the crown prince!

The military generals were also secretly excited. In the peaceful and prosperous age, no matter what happened, the civil servants could always dominate the generals.

If the Prince of Zhen becomes the Crown Prince and later becomes the Emperor of Yan, it will be absolutely good news for generals like them.

And those civil servants also know that this is the best way so far.

After experiencing the attack of Qi State, Ye Liangping led an army to suppress the border, and Qi State is still eyeing, and may attack Yan State again at any time.

After these incidents, the civil servants who usually look down on generals also know that in troubled times, words alone are not enough.

At critical moments, these generals are still needed.

It is the best choice for Xiao Yuanjing to take the position.

The generals were delighted, while the civil servants tried hard to recall whether they had offended Prince Zhen before.

If you have offended me, I have to quickly find a way to make amends and apologize.

Just when everyone was dreaming, Emperor Yan pointed at Prince Ren Xiao Yuanlong: "Yuanlong! From today onwards, you will be the crown prince."

Wang Gouzi stood in the hall, doing nothing.

Although Emperor Yan sent someone to let him participate in this court meeting, he never thought that this matter would have something to do with him.

But now, Wang Gouzi couldn't help but stared at Emperor Yan above in a daze: "Father, Father Emperor, me? Me?"

He pointed at himself with a look of disbelief on his face.

Not to mention that he asked like this, at this moment, no matter whether it is a civil official or a general, they all want to point at Xiao Yuanlong, and then ask Emperor Yan: "Him?"

The whole court fell silent in an instant.

Whether it is a civil official or a general, they just frowned. The matter of choosing the prince is too sensitive.

They are also not easy to speak freely.

However, each of the civil servants did not reject Xiao Yuanlong too much in their hearts.

This Xiao Yuanlong was also born as a literati, if he was in the top position, in terms of the situation of the civil official group, he would be better than Xiao Yuanjing in the top position.

Although they didn't speak, these civil servants kept looking at each other.

Then they looked at Sangong standing in the front.

At this time, Grand Master Yun Jiangxin slowly raised his hand in a bow and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Yun Jiangxin seemed to be representing the civil official group to express his support for Yanhuang's decision.

At this time, how could the other civil servants not hurry up.

They said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Those military generals above the court had a bit of aggrieved face.

Why?

Why did the crown prince be given to someone else, not Prince Zhen.

They didn't know the relationship between Xiao Yuanjing and Wang Gouzi, let alone Xiao Yuanjing's rejection of Emperor Yan many times.

But Qin Jingwu knew it, he took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

This is a statement on behalf of the generals group.

The other generals nodded in agreement even though their eyes were more or less dissatisfied.

All civil and military officials agreed with the identity of the prince, which rarely happened even in the history of Yan.

After all, every time a crown prince is established, there are various forces fighting together.

The current situation is special.

Emperor Yan nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, it's settled, the decree..."

At this time, Wang Gouzi hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Father, you should ask me what I think about such a big matter."

Emperor Yan was taken aback, and asked, "You don't want to be the prince?"

Wang Gouzi smiled awkwardly: "Well, it's a lie to say that you don't want to, but..."
