Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1216 Pale
There were voices of approval in the entire hall, and some dissenting voices were also drowned in the voices of approval.

Regarding the reaction of the ministers, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Since all the ministers have no objection, then choose an auspicious day and canonize Li Zhi as the crown prince!"

"The king of Wei, Li Tai, is an adult and cannot live in Chang'an for a long time. The Ministry of Rites is preparing for the appointment of the king of Wei."

"Go back!"

The ministers withdrew from the hall, and all the ministers couldn't help discussing. They didn't expect His Majesty to appoint the crown prince so quickly, and he still appointed Jin Wang Li Zhi as the crown prince.

What everyone didn't expect was that the emperor ordered Wei Wang to become a vassal!
You know, except for King Wei Li Tai, the other adult princes have already become vassals, and only King Wei has stayed in Chang'an. Although Wei Zheng and other officials have written more than once to ask King Wei to become a vassal, all of them have been retained by His Majesty.

Unexpectedly, now His Majesty has issued a decree to allow King Wei to become a vassal, the meaning of which is self-evident.

This time, the king of Wei was surpassed and the king of Jin was established as the crown prince, and His Majesty also ordered the king of Wei to go to the vassal. It can be seen that His Majesty really thinks that the king of Wei is not suitable to be the crown prince. After that, it is impossible for the king of Wei to compete for the crown prince. .

A group of ministers walked in groups of three or four, while the confidant courtiers of King Wei were isolated intentionally or unintentionally, and the ministers basically hid as far as they could.

It is completely different from the previous days.
What is the cruelty of the world, several of Wei Wang's confidantes have experienced it deeply, but now they are not in the mood to lament the cruelty of the world, they hurried away anxiously, ready to discuss countermeasures.

If the king of Jin is the one who is eventually established as the prince, it means that their future is completely over, because they have already been completely tied to the king of Wei and cannot jump ship.

Therefore, they are really impatient at the moment.

Today's grand court meeting was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that the emperor would quietly appoint King Jin as the crown prince at the end.

Yu Chigong said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, Your Majesty would appoint King Jin as the crown prince so quickly!"

Su Cheng also nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, I didn't expect King Jin to be crowned prince so soon!"

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Li Ji and others all looked at Su Cheng with weird faces. You'd be surprised if you didn't expect it. You can say such things out of your mouth, really shameless!

However, Su Cheng's face is indeed thick enough, because since he walked out of the hall, many ministers have stared at Su Cheng intentionally or unintentionally, and their eyes were full of heat.

King Jin has always lived in the deep palace, even if he is established as the prince, he may not move to the East Palace, even if they want to get in touch with King Jin, it will be difficult.

And Jin Wang has always been close to Su Cheng, which is well known in the government and the public, so many ministers' ideas naturally fell on Su Cheng.

In the Lizheng Hall, the little eunuch was talking about what happened in the early court. Hearing that His Majesty wanted to make King Jin the crown prince, all the maids in the hall bowed down in unison and said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness."

Li Zhi was sitting next to Empress Changsun eating snacks, when he heard the congratulations from all the court ladies, he couldn't help opening his mouth, his mouth was full of desserts, and the corners of his mouth were still full of dessert crumbs.

Although he knew it a long time ago, he still felt at a loss in the face of the congratulations from the maids in unison, and didn't know what to do.

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "The pheasant slave was established as the crown prince. This is indeed a happy event, and it is a reward!"

Hearing that the empress wanted to reward, the festive atmosphere in the hall became more intense, only the little eunuch felt a little uneasy.

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Go on, what else?"

The little eunuch was even more disturbed, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and said hastily: "Your Majesty also said that King Wei should leave Beijing and take up the feudal domain, but the Ministry of Rites is preparing for the matter of King Wei's going to the feudal domain."

The originally festive atmosphere in the Lizheng Hall suddenly stagnated. Although King Wei was not established as the crown prince, King Wei was still the son of the Empress Empress, and has always been favored by the Empress Empress. Now King Wei is leaving Beijing Just Fan, will the Empress feel unhappy?
Everyone was shocked, because no one expected that His Majesty would let King Wei leave the capital to become a feudal vassal. After all, King Wei had been in Chang'an for several years.

Li Zhi was also shocked that he actually let his brother-in-law talk about it!
It's amazing!
Did my brother-in-law guess it himself, or is this a secret advice from my brother-in-law to my father?

Li Zhi, who was stupefied, obviously sensed some changes in the mother's mood, and quickly said: "Mother, let the fourth brother stay in Chang'an!"

Empress Changsun said softly: "Does the pheasant slave want Qingque to stay in Chang'an? Aren't you afraid of your fourth brother?"

Although he knew that his answer might make Li Tailiu stay in Chang'an, Li Zhi said resolutely: "My mother, in fact, the fourth brother has always been very kind to me. , and, if the fourth elder brother is a vassal, then the father and the empress will be sad and miss the fourth brother, I, I don't want to make the father and the empress sad."

Empress Changsun was very moved when she heard this, touched Li Zhi's head, and said warmly: "There have always been officials who have written letters asking Qingque to leave the capital and take up the feudal domain. Your father and emperor are vague because of my reluctance. Qing Que should be allowed to become a vassal as soon as possible, after all, this is the rule, Qing Que stays here and breaks the rules, without the rules, there is no way!"

Li Zhi didn't understand what he heard, Empress Changsun smiled and said: "When you grow up, you will understand that it is good for you brothers to let Qingque leave the capital. Besides, it is not good to let Qingque leave the capital He is not allowed to return to Chang'an, but he can return to Chang'an for a few days during the holidays."

Seeing the empress stroking King Jin's head and talking with a smile, all the ladies in the palace were relieved. It seemed that the empress knew about it a long time ago.

In Wei Wangfu, Li Tai was pacing anxiously in the front hall, wondering how many ministers would be able to invite him to be the crown prince in today's court.

Suddenly, a guard rushed over from outside.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something is wrong!" the guard panted palely.

Li Tai strode forward suddenly and came to the front of the hall, and shouted in a very displeased voice: "What's wrong? What's the matter? Tell me!"

Could it be that the courtiers asked him to be the crown prince again, but His Majesty still refused to make him the crown prince?
Li Tai couldn't help but sighed in his heart, didn't the emperor see how high his reputation was?

"His Royal Highness, at the end of the Great Court Meeting today, Wei Zheng suddenly asked His Majesty to make a crown prince early, and His Majesty took advantage of the situation and agreed, saying that he would make King Jin the crown prince!" the guard said anxiously.

When he heard the front, Li Tai was still a little proud. He didn't expect that such an important minister as Wei Zheng would invite the crown prince, but when he heard the back, his face turned very pale.
