save the bachelors

Chapter 2774 2776 [Prince position]

"His Royal Highness, the more critical the moment is, the more calm you must be." Gao Ming said with a slight smile, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with letting King Xuande take the lead temporarily.

Doesn't it smell that the early rafters are rotten first.Once King Xuande is established as the prince, he will become the target of public criticism. I don't know how many people want to catch him.

And the establishment and dethronement of the prince is just at the emperor's thought, it is not certain who will have the last laugh. "

"What does Uncle mean, we won't fight this time?" Xiang Nan asked.

Gao Ming nodded, "Fight without fighting, do nothing."

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

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

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

Once the crown prince is established, it will be very difficult to abolish it. It is not the emperor's wishful thinking, and he can be abolished if he wants to.

Because once the dispute over abolition and establishment is set off, it will inevitably lead to partisan disputes.And party struggle is the cruelest internal struggle. The reason why the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasties declined was because of the disaster of party struggle.

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

In the play, if King Xuande hadn't committed suicide and led the dead to force the palace, even if he committed suicide again, Li Yu would not abolish him.Just like Li Chengji, no matter how disobedient or confused, the emperor is willing to give him a chance to make up for it.

……

Xiang Nan then left a letter to Chai Mu, telling him about King Zhong's petition to appoint a crown prince.

Chai Mu's message to him is also to let him hide his strength and bide his time, waiting for the right time.And asked him to win over the high minister and use his strength to fight.

Xiang Nan nodded after reading the message.

……

Li Xi then asked Gao Ming to have a drink in Yuyuan.

"It's been a long time since we've had a drink together here," Li Yu looked at the familiar and unfamiliar things around him, and said to Gao Ming with a smile, "Come on, I'll toast you."

Back then, when he, Gu Ruhui, Gao Ming, and Chen Zheng were young, they were friends and often got together.But times have changed, and things are very different today.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Ming hurriedly said respectfully.

"Yu Ming, tell me, what do you think about the establishment of the reserve?" Li Yu asked afterward.

"The Dan-Chi Rebellion has been put down, and the marriage between Xizhou and Feng Dynasty has also been settled. Your Majesty is in the prime of life and in good health. Don't rush into the establishment of a reserve?" Gao Ming said with a smile.

The matter of establishing a reserve should be decided by the emperor Gan Gang, and no one else should be allowed to interfere.Although Gao Ming knew that the emperor had intended to set up a reserve, he still didn't want to talk about it.

"I've already thought about it. What the ministers said is not unreasonable. Establishing the crown prince as soon as possible, and setting the wedding date for the crown prince and the nine princesses, will ensure the stability of the country externally and the country internally. It will kill two birds with one stone.

I invite Yu Ming to come today, I want you to help me out with ideas.Among my several sons, who can be the heir apparent? "The emperor didn't want to let him go so easily, and still asked him to give his opinion.

"I thought it was King Xuande." Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Gao Ming had no choice but to speak.

Seeing that he actually recommended King Xuande instead of King Yi whom he supported, Emperor Li Yu was taken aback.

"Among the princes, King Xuande is the leader, and there are a group of veteran officials such as King Zhong in the court. It is really expected by everyone to make King Xuande the crown prince!" Gao Ming then explained his reasons.

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

Because the emperor was most jealous of his subordinates forming a party for personal gain, which would pose a direct threat to his rule.

However, King Xuande colluded with a group of old officials such as King Zhong early on. If he was the crown prince, coupled with the support of the old officials, he might usurp the throne and seize power in minutes.

"I think that Cheng Yin is also good. Not only did he calm down Dan Chi, he made great contributions, but he is also very filial to the empress dowager, the empress, and me, with affection and righteousness! I think he can handle things with ease now, and he will be able to do so in the future." Be a great leader." Li Xi said again.

"To pacify Danchi, King Yi is so brave that the whole court admires him... If it comes to selfishness, I really prefer King Yi. But establishing a crown prince is a major matter for the country. Compared with King Xuande, King Yi is still younger." Gao Ming nodded.

He had known earlier that the emperor intended to make King Xuande the crown prince, otherwise he would not have known that the death of the prince was full of doubts and would have let King Xuande lead the army to attack Dan Chi.

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

It's just that he is so good at figuring out what he wants, which is actually a taboo thing.

The so-called unfathomable power of the sky, that's why the courtiers are trembling, walking on thin ice.

If the courtiers are good at figuring out what they want, then the emperor will have no majesty at all.An emperor without majesty is just a puppet placed on a dragon chair.

"Yu Ming, you are the most loyal to me in all courts!" Li Yu said with a smile when he heard this, but actually his heart was secretly filled with murderous intentions.

He can trust Gao Ming and give him power, but he doesn't want Gao Ming to know his mind.

……

Ten days later, the auspicious day of the zodiac.

Li Yu officially canonized the second prince, Li Chengye, as the crown prince.

"Followers, those who rule the world, inherit the business, why not establish the second prince, secure the state family, the second son Xuande Wang Chengye, nature and loyalty, born to know filial friends...

I won't be satisfied with Zan, I bowed devoutly at night, I am always afraid of the gods not being happy, and there are many political principles... I am awarded the book of treasures, and I am established as the crown prince, and I am in the East Palace, and the master will implement it. "The servant Cao Ji read out the imperial decree loudly.

"I accept the order to thank you." Li Chengye received the imperial order, knelt down and saluted.

"Order all departments to prepare, the crown prince and Princess Xizhou will get married in a hundred days!" Emperor Li Yu ordered again.

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

"Pingshen." Li Yu said.

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

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" All the officials bowed their heads together, and even Xiang Nan bowed to him.

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

……

Qu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded when he learned that Li Chengye had become the prince and that he would marry him in a hundred days.

"Shouldn't it be Li Chengyin who is the prince, why is it replaced by the second prince?" She looked at A'Du in panic and asked.

After getting along these days, she has fallen in love with Xiang Nan.Now that she is asked to marry Li Chengye, her whole heart is frozen.

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

"Princess, you are the concubine who came to Feng Dynasty from Xizhou to get married. You will marry whoever becomes the crown prince." Yong Niang reminded.

"Then what's the difference between me and a cow, a horse, or a sheep? I was sent back and forth." Qu Xiaofeng choked speechlessly, never expecting that the Ninth Princess himself would be so miserable.

"Princess be careful!" Yong Niang quickly reminded, "Your status is so noble, how can you be compared with horses, cattle and sheep. Besides, the second prince is modest and has both ability and political integrity. It is also very good for you to marry him."

"But I've only met him once, I don't know him well, how can I marry him?" Qu Xiaofeng said depressedly, "Oh, I'm so bored, I'm so bored."

"Princess be careful, this word is taboo in the palace." Yong Niang reminded again.

"Oh, it's the rules again." Qu Xiaofeng said in pain.
