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

Chapter 909 Is it really going to be a crown prince?

There are also officials angrily scolding someone for hosting a hundred-day banquet, how extravagant and wasteful it is, and so on, the list goes on.

The mutual spraying mode was turned on in the hall, and many officials were pointing at each other and yelling at each other regardless of their faces, their blushing necks were so thick that people couldn't bear to look directly at them.

The emperor watched coldly, but did not stop him.

Standing in front, Xia Qing glanced at the emperor, and found that the emperor was looking down with a smile that was not a smile, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Naturally, he disdains to fight with these officials. Anyway, there are people who are pawns, so why should he speak?
What's more, what is his identity?There is no gain or loss of identity in fighting with these people.

The eldest prince frowned deeply, he looked around, feeling very dissatisfied.This chaos is comparable to a busy city.

But when he saw that there were officials of his own line among them, he had no choice but to turn his head away and try to keep out of sight.

The second prince looked sad, and occasionally glanced at his father, as if he was worried that his father would get angry.

Needless to say, the third prince, he had already sneered and was waiting for his father to deal with these people.

Gradually, the flames of war escalated.Those officials were no longer satisfied with arguing about trivial matters, and they turned the fire on the establishment of the crown prince.

"Hmph! The eldest prince is the eldest son, and the crown prince is one, who else is there?"

Bian Shengrong cast a contemptuous glance at Huo Huaizhong who was choking with him, and ridiculed in his heart that the other party was abandoned by the third prince before, and now he is still speaking for the third prince.

In fact, Huo Huaizhong is also very helpless, he has long been on the thief ship of the third prince, even if he wants to vote for someone else now, he still needs to be trusted, right?

Besides, relying on the third prince to do things before, it is unavoidable that the handle will fall into the hands of the third prince.

Even if he wanted to get away now, it was too late, and he didn't have to let the third prince jump over the wall in a hurry.

If he really annoyed the third prince, it would definitely not make him feel better.

"Hmph! When it comes to the position of crown prince, our second prince is the most suitable candidate. His Highness is the son of the eldest son from the middle palace. If the first prince is chosen, wouldn't it mean that the first prince is not as good as the concubine?"

Qian Licong was not to be outdone, this was supposed to be the seat of the Second Highness, and these people dared to come to Xiaoxiang.

These words were a bit harsh, and the atmosphere was suddenly suffocated.

Naturally, the concubine and concubine are clearly distinguished in the families of these officials, and the status of those concubines in the family is far inferior to that of the concubines. This is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times.

It was the same rule before the previous dynasties, even the bastards were not considered masters, and they were very strict with the bastards.

It's just that since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's slogan is that the capable live there, regardless of his descendants, so it has continued to this day.

Of course, this only applies to the royal family and has nothing to do with officials like them.

These princes, except for the second child, are all concubines.So the other princes naturally turned their attention to Qian Licong, those swishing eyes almost made Qian Licong unable to stand.

But he still straightened his back. Anyway, he is now in the line of the second prince, and his official position is not low, why should he be afraid of them?
The second prince stroked his forehead upon hearing this, is this going to completely tear up his face?Although he is not afraid of those brothers, can he pay more attention to his words?
It doesn't have to make people think that he is so rampant because he just insists on coming out of the middle palace. This is a proper way to incite hatred!
However, even if Qian Licong didn't say that, those brothers' resentment towards him would not be less.

Thanks to the fact that the father was also a descendant, otherwise, once Qian Licong said this, beheading would be considered light, and a hundred times of whipping the corpse would not be enough to appease the emperor's anger.

"Hmph! The late emperor said when he was here that the crown prince is for those who are capable, regardless of his concubines. What do you mean by this? Do you think the late emperor's holy words are wrong? His heart is to be punished!"

Then these people started arguing again, and the hall became a mess again, noisier than before.

The second prince heard those courtiers attacking each other, but his heart was calm.

Perhaps at the first few times, he still hoped that the crown prince would be established as soon as possible, and he was very nervous about it.But after this happened several times, he got used to it.

The other princes are naturally very calm, they are all used to it, and these have become commonplace.

"okay!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and everyone finally fell silent.

Seeing the emperor's sullen expression, these officials knew that the emperor had a headache because of their quarrel.

They all took their places quickly, bowed their heads without saying a word, and packed up the quail.The change in attitude was astonishingly quick.

This is their old routine, as long as the emperor is angry, they will all know each other very well.

If the emperor was obviously very angry, they immediately fell to their knees and begged the emperor to calm down without saying a word.

"I also feel that the establishment of a crown prince should not be delayed any longer. Originally, I hadn't made a decision yet, so I was a little hesitant about choosing a candidate. But now that I am old, I am gradually unable to handle the affairs of the court. I really want to set up a reserve and take care of the common affairs for me."

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone was shocked.

No one expected that the emperor would let go this time.

The princes even felt as if they were knocked out by the pie. Is this true?Are you really going to establish a prince?Father really agreed?

Looking at the officials present in a daze, the emperor glanced impatiently, and then opened his mouth angrily.

"Why? Do you think it's too early to establish a crown prince? Why don't you wait a little longer."

"Your Majesty, if you set up a crown prince earlier, you will be able to manage general affairs for you, assist the government and supervise the country, and the ministers will support you!"

Xia Qing came out and was the first to express his opinion.

He could see it, although the emperor was still reluctant in his heart.But anyway, he still knows that he is old and can no longer delay the establishment of the prince.

As the chief assistant, he can't just keep back, he should be the first to make a statement.

Even if the emperor is dissatisfied with him, so what?Anyway, who in this hall dares to say that the crown prince will not succeed!

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

With Xia Qing taking the lead in expressing his opinion, other officials should naturally follow.

What's more, they had quarreled over this matter countless times, and today it is finally going to be settled.

After a while, the others all looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to ask each other.Dai Yuanji couldn't stand it any longer, and went out first, breaking the peace in the hall.

"I wonder if the emperor has made a decision on the candidate for the crown prince?"

He glanced at Xia Qing, this old man was really shameless, so he just echoed this sentence, and refused to say anything else.

As soon as the words came out, the other officials held their breaths, and the princes even pricked up their ears and watched eagerly.

This day has finally arrived, how could the princes not be nervous?
There is only one prince, once established, the other princes have to return to the fief.

And no matter who becomes the prince, how can the rest of the princes live better in the future?Being feared by the prince, he will be dealt with sooner or later.

The emperor glanced over the three princes, but remained silent.

The hearts of the three princes jumped into their throats, they were anxious!

But they were even more afraid of hearing words that would disappoint them, and their hearts were filled with anxiety.

Taking a panoramic view of the expressions of the people below, the emperor finally spoke.
