The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1175 has been prepared
The prince was a little surprised when he heard the words. At this moment, he took a closer look at the officials in the side hall, and found that most of the people standing with Shen Shikang were his supporters.

The faces of these officials were full of approval, probably because they already knew about Shen Shikang's plan.

But the other side is quite different from this side, and the officials there have different expressions, and they are all silent.

Although the crown prince's heart is already tempted, but his father died just a day ago, and he was so eager, it would be despised by others.

Throughout the ages, filial piety is greater than heaven.Although he was tempted, he was still able to hold back.

What's more, it would be too impertinent for him to agree to it as soon as the minister of the DPRK and China mentioned it.

"Everyone, my father passed away just yesterday, and I am in great grief. Let's discuss the matter of inheriting the throne later!" The prince looked sad and shook his head repeatedly, as if he still had some resistance to this matter.

"The lower official thinks what His Highness said is reasonable. This is the period of national mourning. In order to show filial piety, the crown prince should be in mourning for three years. Even if government affairs should not be neglected for the sake of the country and the people, then he should serve for 27 months. If he ascends the throne at this time, it is inevitable It's too hasty. If there is no enthronement ceremony, how can we announce it to the world? Besides, His Highness has been wronged by this, so it is impossible to do it, why not wait a little longer!"

Seeing this scene, Hu Maoshen, the censor of the right capital, couldn't help being anxious, and it was really hasty to ascend the throne.Besides, the last deployment failed, and he wanted to find another way.Of course it can be delayed for a few days, just a few days.

Qian Licong, the deputy capital envoy of the left, turned his head and took a deep look at Hu Maoshen. Could it be that this person who is usually inconspicuous has taken refuge in some feudal lord?
Otherwise, why did the other party block His Royal Highness from ascending the throne?These princelings are looking forward to the day when the prince ascends the throne!

One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven!The words are rough and the rationale is not rough.

As long as the prince ascends the throne as emperor, these officials who have followed the prince for a long time, don't they worry about their future future?
"Lord Hu, what you said just now is indeed reasonable. But now the people of Daxing have broken into the palace, and they treat our Dayan Palace as nothing. And the border gates do not know why they put these barbarians into the territory of Dayan. Mr. Yin has already been sent to the border to investigate the matter, but who knows whether these Daxing thieves will succeed in their plan? Now that the court is troubled by internal and external troubles, if there is a change in the border, if we are not ready, it will make the other party have a chance Take the opportunity?"

Qian Licong saw that Hu Maoshen's face remained unchanged, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said: "Your Highness is the heir to the country, and the overall situation should be the most important thing at this moment. It is only natural to ascend the throne earlier and handle the government affairs of the court. As for the enthronement ceremony , It’s not impossible to make it up later. And this time, it is necessary to find out the truth about the border affairs and quickly list the methods to deal with it. This is the most important thing.”

Qin Guogong Qin Baolin narrowed his eyes, and stepped forward, saying: "That's right! Those Daxing thieves dared to break into the palace to assassinate, it can be seen that they have a lot of people here. And there will be changes at the border in the near future, we should get these people out as soon as possible." Arrest them, torture them, and force them to find out their plans, so we can prepare early."

Qin Guogong didn't know the purpose of Shen Shikang and others today, and he was surprised just now.Shen Shikang, an old fox, did he become suspicious of him?

Otherwise, why not discuss it with him beforehand?Guan Qian Licong and others didn't seem surprised by this matter. Could it be that Shen Shikang and the others have already seen the clue?
Qin Guogong stepped forward to help a few words, while thinking in his heart.

But he thought about his recent performance, and found that he didn't show any flaws.He also remembered that his wife was a sword for the prince, and now she is still recuperating in Guangning Palace. Isn't this just showing her loyalty?

Could it be that the eldest princess confided all her plans?But then he shook his head again, impossible!
If the Eldest Princess really disregarded the relationship between husband and wife and told the Prince his plan, then it is impossible for him to stay here safe and sound at this moment.

Shen Shikang glanced at Qin Guogong, and groaned in his heart!The eldest princess was seriously injured in order to save the prince.If the crown prince ascends the throne, Duke Qin will definitely get a lot of benefits as his son-in-law.

The eldest son of Qin, Qin Min, is already an official of the fourth grade, and he has gained a firm foothold in the aristocratic family in the capital.But as a foreign relative, Shen Shikang naturally couldn't look at the Qin family's power.

Furthermore, the Crown Princess' natal family, Lang, should not be underestimated. At this moment, one can suppress one by one.Otherwise, his Shen family will have to sit on an equal footing with these foreign relatives in the future, how can this be?
"Your Highness! Although it is said that a country cannot be without a king for a day, the vassal kings have not yet arrived in the capital. The officials thought that the enthronement ceremony should be held after the vassal kings came to the capital. Worshiping together, you should show the power of our country."

Yu Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, rolled his eyes and held the enthronement ceremony, and the vassal king must be present to congratulate him.

Even if the emperor fought to the death with his brothers back then, when he ascended the throne, the emperor also left one or two vassal princes to decorate his appearance.

"Huh! Your Highness is helpless to inherit the throne at this moment. If the border war is about to start, you need to deploy troops. However, His Highness is holding a tiger charm as a prince, which is a bit unfair. Even the emperor, in the spirit of heaven, also hopes that His Highness the Prince Being able to comply with the public policy, thinking about the common people in the world, and inheriting the throne as soon as possible will be a blessing to the people."

Shen Shikang scoffed at Zheng's remarks, as the crown prince is the master of the East Palace, why should he wait for those vassal kings to enter the capital?
Could it be that if they don't come, the prince will not be able to ascend the throne?What nonsense.

Even the founding emperor did not promulgate the ancestral precept that when the new emperor ascends the throne, all vassal kings must be present.

As for the emperor wanting to keep the two brothers to act as a facade, it was because the emperor killed too much and did so in order to block the mouths of the world.

"As for the enthronement, we should wait a few days before making a decision. The emperor just passed away, and I will be filial every day. How can I have such thoughts?"

The prince glanced at Shen Shikang and the others with profound eyes, and they immediately understood.

The national funeral is only one day away, so it would be too hasty to bring up this matter at this time.If you don't wait a few days to mention it, then His Royal Highness will be able to push the boat along.

Some officials watched with cold eyes, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the prince rejecting the matter.Although the crown prince will be enthroned sooner or later, but it is blocked day by day, who knows if there will be any changes in the next moment?

"Your Highness, I wonder if yesterday's assassin was caught? Is there any news about the traitor Zhou Yuancong?"

Shen Shikang remembered that there was still a hidden threat, so he hurriedly asked.

The crown prince looked at the sky, then shook his head and sighed: "Never before, I have ordered Dali Temple Shaoqing Gu Chengyu to lead people to search and arrest, but there is no news yet. As for Zhou Yuancong, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air. .”

The crown prince has already sent people to surround the Zhou mansion, it is a shame that Zhou Yuan was prepared for it.
