Chapter 104 Establishing the Crown Prince (4k Subscription)
Lin Shou couldn't help laughing when he saw the word "exemption" engraved on the gold medal that the second prince took out.

Although many places will show how power is above ordinary people, such a naked word is even more ironic.

Lin Shou reached out to take the gold medal, and it disappeared into his palm with a flick of his wrist.

The second prince explained patiently: "Our royal family members all have a gold medal like this, but I hope I will never need it, so I gave this gold medal to Lin Daochang as a souvenir."

Lin Shou didn't say much, but the corners of his mouth curled up. No one knew whether that smile represented approval or sarcasm.

Just as everyone was chatting casually and waiting for the time for apprenticeship, the most important person in this apprenticeship feast suddenly rushed over.

"The Holy One is here!"

With the high-pitched voice of the court eunuch outside, the inside of the mansion, which was still chatting lively, suddenly became quiet.

Even though the emperor hadn't presided over the court for more than ten years, the existence in that position still made all the officials, including the eldest prince and the second prince, feel goosebumps.

Even Zhong Yunyi was looking at the door solemnly at this moment.

Only Lin Shou was still eating and drinking at the moment, stuffing things into his mouth, it seemed that the shout just now was just a boring slogan.

"His Majesty?"

"Didn't Your Majesty say that you won't show up until after the apprentice banquet?"

"Your Majesty's intentions can also be guessed by you and me?"

"Stay safe and don't be impatient, the two of the three princes of the court are here, so there is nothing to worry about!"

There is some truth in this sentence, the two of the three princes of the current dynasty are here, even the emperor who has not been to the court for more than ten years, still relies on the three princes to control the court.

Because of this, Zhong Yunyi and Song Tinghui stepped forward first, followed by the First Prince and Second Prince to greet them at the door.

The officials present were all silent, and all of them lowered their heads. They keenly sensed that the emperor did not follow the previous arrangement and the situation was still changing. They expected something to happen, but they couldn't figure out what it was.

The gate of Zhong Yunyi's mansion opened, and a gust of cold wind came in from the outside, making the mansion, which was not considered warm, look even colder, but those dignitaries didn't even dare to shudder.

Except for the four people who greeted them at the door, and Lin Shou who didn't care, everyone in the mansion was very nervous and even uneasy.

With the appearance of a dragon that was carried by a full 64 people, eight charcoal stoves were hung with copper basins around the dragon, and the delicate gray charcoal inside was burning brightly to provide heat for the person in the center of the dragon.

Half of the hundreds of people accompanying them were eunuchs, and the other half were soldiers wearing elite armor. They even had the aura of practitioners on their bodies.

A thin and thin eunuch immediately knelt down after Long Chuan stopped, not paying any attention to the frozen snow on the ground.

Long Luzhong coughed to understand, then stepped out and stepped on the eunuch's body, the eunuch's body did not dare to tremble and faithfully worked on the steps.

Lin Shou couldn't help being curious, and finally saw the real ruler of the empire through his eyes.

Lin Shou has heard many rumors about this emperor. He has been obsessed with cultivating Taoism for decades, and he pursues longevity regardless of the roasting of dragon energy. In any case, this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man has actually dominated the empire for decades.

The emperor's body seemed a little weak, and soon two eunuchs came to his side to support him. The emperor seemed to be a little fat, wearing a black robe and a cloud crown on his head.

Zhong Yunyi and Song Tinghui took the two princes behind them and bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

The dignitaries in the mansion behind knelt down on the ground, saluted with one voice and shouted at the same time.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Except for Sangong and the two princes, other officials must kneel down and salute the emperor when they see the emperor.

When everyone knelt down, the one who didn't kneel became quite obvious.

Among the many dignitaries, Lin Shou was the only one sitting on that chair with unfinished meat stuffed in his mouth, and looked at the emperor with some scrutinizing eyes.

But it seemed that none of the people present realized that Lin Shou did not kneel down to the ruler of the empire.

Even Song Tinghui and Zhong Yunyi of the third realm of Legalism and Confucianism didn't realize it.

"It's alright, alright, stop kneeling, today is the day when the second child is apprenticed to a teacher, and the protagonist is not me."

The emperor waved his hand weakly, motioning the dignitaries to stand up.

After another burst of gratitude from the dignitaries, they slowly stood up from the ground.

With the support of two eunuchs, the emperor walked into the middle of the mansion and took the seat of honor.

The emperor asked all the eunuchs and guards to wait outside, and only let the thin eunuch who knelt down on the ground as a step to support him, and then asked Zhong Yunyi to close the door.

After the gate was closed, there was no cold wind coming in from the outside, and the originally cold mansion felt a little warmer now.

But whether the hearts of the people present were cold or warm, it was hard to say clearly.

However, with the arrival of time, the apprenticeship ceremony gradually began, and the presence became a little more lively.

The process of apprenticeship was not complicated, it was just that the prince gave a gift of apprenticeship, and Zhong Yunyi personally admitted that accepting this disciple was considered complete.

It's just that due to the early arrival of the emperor, some of the original links were simplified.

After all, no one can tell the current physical condition of the emperor, and it is not a very wise thing to leave the warm and safe palace.

No one hoped that the emperor would have any problems in this situation, and they all hoped that the Holy Majesty would return to the palace as soon as possible.

Following Zhong Yunyi's cultivation of the third realm of Confucianism and Taoism, he took out a white jade pen from his cave, just like the gift he gave Zhang Baigui when he accepted him as a disciple.

The emperor sat on the main seat and watched this scene, and even smiled, followed by a violent cough.

The thin eunuch beside him quickly took out the gourd tied around his waist, and poured out a gray pill from it.

The emperor swallowed the gray pill in a violent cough, and coughed for a long time before calming down.

"Very good, I feel relieved that the second child has a teacher like Zhong Yushi..."

The emperor had a gratified smile on his face, but the next moment he turned to the eunuch and said, "Take out the imperial decree."

The thin eunuch took out a bolt of yellow silk from his chest.

The emperor took a deep breath, looked at the many dignitaries in the mansion, and said: "Some powerful people in the capital are basically here, and I haven't presided over the court for more than ten years, so today is just a small court meeting. .”

When many dignitaries were still puzzled, the eunuch suddenly began to read in a sharp tone according to the yellow silk cloth.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, summoned and said: Since ancient times, emperors have inherited the sky and governed the Huan area, and they must establish the Yuan Chu and Maolong State Foundation, so that the Mianzong Society will be boundless. Mo Lie Zhaochui. The entrustment is the most important. Chengyou Yanqing, Duanzai Yuanliang. The second son Li Chengyi is smart and Yingqi, and set up the ceremony. Follow the public opinion. I would like to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the country. On December 16, the [-]th year of Yongli On the tenth day, Cheng Yi was given the book of treasures. He was established as the crown prince. He was seated in the East Palace, to honor the rule of ten thousand years, and to tie the hearts of the world." (Note)
In the already extremely quiet mansion, it was as if a thunderbolt had descended at this moment.

If it wasn't for the fact that the emperor was still in front of him, I'm afraid these dignitaries would have already started talking about it.

Even so, the eldest prince's eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, nails were embedded in his flesh, and blood dripped onto the ground.

Song Tinghui didn't seem to have any surprise on his face, he just listened lightly to the eunuch reading the edict.

Zhong Yunyi also looked at the emperor sitting on the throne in disbelief at this moment, he was full of doubts, why did the emperor do this, even though this fact was a good thing for him.

The second prince frowned, and was not as excited as he imagined. Even though he did have some surging emotions in his heart, at the age of twelve, he still felt that something was wrong, but the first thing to do was to kneel down to receive the order.

"Thank you, Father, for your grace!"

Just when everyone had different thoughts and couldn't speak, but kept communicating with their eyes.

But at this moment, Lin Shou's figure came behind Zhong Yunyi like a ghost, but only Zhong Yunyi could hear what he said.

"Mr. Zhong, the eunuch who read the imperial decree seems to be a dead man."

Zhong Yunyi hadn't recovered from the shock of having just established the second prince as the prince, but when he woke up, he heard Lin Shou throwing a heavy weight.

Zhong Yunyi will not doubt Lin Shou's words at all, he has been with Lin Shou for so long, he knows Lin Shou's ability.

Therefore, if Lin Shou said that the eunuch was already a dead person, then he must be a corpse that can still move.

But why does the emperor have a dead man by his side?

Lin Shou was a little funny, looking at the emperor in front of him, how could these people use even more evil methods than himself.

It is obvious that I am the ancestor who played heretics, but the methods of these emperors and dignitaries are more like heretics than myself, which makes Lin Shou a little depressed.

After the eunuch read out the will, he handed over the yellow silk cloth to the second prince.

The brother stood up tremblingly at this moment, the eunuch left quickly, and went to support the emperor.

After the emperor coughed a few times, he walked slowly towards the door without saying a word, as if he was about to leave, and he didn't intend to explain anything.

It wasn't until the emperor came to the door that he suddenly stopped in his tracks and said, "Song Aiqing, you and I will go back to the palace together, and I have something to discuss with you."

Song Ting met, nodded expressionlessly, and hurriedly followed.

Walking out the door, the emperor asked in a voice that only he and Song Tinghui could hear: "How much?"

Song Tinghui's lips moved slightly, and finally spit out a number: "970 three."

The emperor closed his eyes and coughed twice, but tapped his head lightly twice.

……

At this moment, the mansion has already exploded. If Zhong Yunyi is not still in the mansion at this time, and the second prince who has just become the prince is still standing behind Zhong Yunyi as a student, those powerful people will definitely be scrambling. Go to please the second prince, no...it's the prince.

The eldest prince who was supposed to have legal succession right now was like a lonely stray dog ​​that no one cares about.

His eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and pointed at his younger brother, his hands were trembling, but he couldn't say the last word.

The eldest prince had no choice but to wave his sleeves, turned and left angrily, and even failed to meet the etiquette of greeting Zhong Yunyi.

At this moment, Lin Shou had a smile on his face, and said with a smile to Zhong Yunyi: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhong, it seems that you can become the emperor's teacher."

At this moment, Zhong Yunyi gave a wry smile, with unspeakable complexity in his eyes, and replied: "How could Your Majesty do such a thing? Abandoning the elders and erecting the young has always been a way of creating chaos. No, I must write a letter to Your Majesty!" "

With a faint smile on Lin Shou's face, he pointed to the prince behind him and said, "Mr. Zhong, did you forget that the disciple you just accepted is still behind you?"

Zhong Yunyi turned around and found that the disciple he had just accepted was trembling all over.

Zhong Yunyi sighed, he knew that this was a smart kid, and he was not excited about being crowned prince, but at the moment he was a little surprisingly scared.

Zhang Baigui walked up to the second prince and patted the prince's shoulder lightly, as if he wanted to express some comfort.

Unexpectedly, the second prince suddenly raised his head to look at his teacher, and said tremblingly: "Teacher, I don't know why my father wanted me to be the crown prince, but I think my father must have some plan."

Zhong Yunyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his disciple to be able to see this level of intention, he was not immersed in the joy of becoming a prince, or in the fear of being hated by his elder brother, but he smelled his very keenly. What's the plan of the royal father?

Lin Shou smiled and said to Zhong Yunyi: "Mr. Zhong, Pindao feels more and more that this crown prince has the appearance of an emperor. Pindao is here. Congratulations in advance to Mr. Zhong for becoming the emperor's tutor!"

Zhong Yunyi replied with a wry smile: "Daozhang Lin, stop joking now."

Unexpectedly, Lin Shou said quite seriously: "The poor man is telling the truth, the second prince's intelligence is rare in the imperial family."

Zhang Baigui was still patting the second prince's trembling shoulder at this moment, Lin Shou's eyes fixed on this young man with auspicious luck.

Lin Shou suddenly asked Zhang Baigui, "Bai Gui, what do you think of this matter?"

Hearing Lin Shou's question, Zhang Baigui didn't think for long, and quickly said, "It's impossible for Your Majesty not to know that this matter is wrong, so I agree with His Highness the Crown Prince's idea. Your Majesty has other plans."

Lin Shou and Zhong Yunyi listened to Zhang Baigui's answer at this moment, and Lin Shou asked again: "Then what do you think the emperor thinks?"

Zhang Baigui raised his head in a daze, looked at the second prince and Zhong Yunyi, and asked, "Your Highness, can I tell you?"

Zhong Yunyi nodded naturally, and His Royal Highness the Prince also responded silently, which was regarded as tacit consent.

But Zhang Baigui said surprisingly: "Your Majesty seems to hope that... the power of the first prince will compete with the power of the second prince."
