I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 58 Please establish a prince (changed the title of the book)

The reform of the governor was passed in the court meeting, but it will take some time before it is actually implemented.

The Situ Mansion also needed to formulate the specific scope of duties of the supervisor, the number of assistants, assessment standards, and safe delivery of soap bags, etc., and then send it to the emperor for approval. Only after there were no doubts could it be issued as a formal edict.

On the day after the court meeting, Yilang Jia Cong wrote a letter asking the emperor to establish a prince.

Jia Cong, courtesy name Meng Jian, was a native of Dongjun, Yanzhou. He was previously the governor of Jiaozhou. Because of his ability to quell chaos and bring peace to the people, he was recalled to the court last year and worshiped as Yilang.

It is worth mentioning that the person who succeeded him was Zhu Jun's son Zhu Fu.

Jia Cong himself was neither a party member nor a general.

It was in the morning when Emperor Ling saw his memorial. He did not ignore the memorial as before. Instead, he held the memorial and hesitated.

Zhang Rang wanted to persuade him, but Emperor Ling didn't dare to express his attitude on this issue.

"Go find Xie'er..."

Zhang Rang immediately went to tell Xiao Huangmen, and heard Emperor Ling's voice coming from behind - "Bring Shou'er also."

He hurriedly told another Xiaohuangmen: "Go and look for the little princess quickly. If she is not in Yeting, go to the Zhonggong Palace to look for her."

Not long after, Liu Xie and Liu Shou came to Yutang Hall one after another, and sat on either side of him at the greeting of Emperor Ling.

After asking a few questions such as "What did you eat?" and "What did you do?", Emperor Ling pointed to the memorial on the table and asked: "Someone wants to make your brother the prince. Are you willing?" "

Xiao Wannian was well protected, but he was still a little confused: "Father, what is a crown prince? Can I still play with me after I become the crown prince?"

Emperor Ling smiled and replied: "Of course you can, but it won't be as frequent as now."

Xiao Wannian grimaced: "That's it, then I don't want my brother to be the prince... Ah, no, no! No! I have to ask my brother first if he wants to be..."

As she said that, she made a move to stand up and prepare to ask directly.

Emperor Ling immediately pulled her back with a smile and said, "No need to ask, your brother will definitely be happy."

"Then I'd be happy too!"

blurted out without hesitation.

"Okay!" Emperor Ling rubbed Liu Shou's hair lovingly, then turned to ask Liu Xie, "What do Xie'er think?"

Although Liu Xie was young, he was not as ignorant as Liu Shou. He was influenced by Empress Dowager Dong every day. Although he could not really understand what the prince represented, he also knew that it was a very good thing.

Something his grandmother had always wished for him.

Facing Emperor Ling's inquiry, Liu Xie vaguely understood the answer that Emperor Ling might want, but he felt sour in his heart as if something beloved had been taken away.

He couldn't say anything in agreement.

Looking at Liu Xie's unpretentious entanglement and grievance, at this moment, Emperor Ling suddenly realized that everything in front of him was the result of his avoidance and delay.

If it is delayed until Liu Xie grows up...

He finally made up his mind.

After Liu Shou and Liu Xie left, Emperor Ling handed Jia Cong's memorial to Zhang Rang.

"Send it back to the Chancellor's desk and order the three ministers to discuss it."

Emperor Ling's statement was like a gunshot. On that day, the voices supporting the establishment of the crown prince suddenly became louder.

On the same day, Emperor Ling also went to the West Palace. Liu Bian didn't know what happened in the West Palace, but neither Empress Dowager Dong nor Dong Chong expressed their opinions in the wave of persuading the crown prince.

For him, happiness came a bit suddenly, and he still didn't understand why Emperor Ling suddenly changed his mind.

This was a good thing, and he didn't intend to delve into it.

On this day, he came to Yutang Hall and saw Emperor Ling staring at a map in a daze.

Seeing Liu Bian coming, Emperor Ling greeted him: "Bian'er came just in time. I'm thinking about Xie'er's future fiefdom. Where does Bian'er think it is suitable?"

Liu Bian looked at the map. He felt that it was not appropriate to confer a king on a county under Si Li, so he pointed to Chenliu County, which was close to the east of Yindong, Henan, and asked: "How about King Chenliu? Yingchuan is not bad, and the county is far away from Luoyang." Closer.”

Emperor Ling smiled and said: "I originally thought about the King of Hejian. Chen Liu is more suitable than Yingchuan, and next to him are Chen Guo and Liang Guo."

Liu Bian was basically not worried about the security of the feudal state. These days, the prime minister of the feudal state almost enjoyed the same power as a county governor, but there was just one more prince and king who needed to be monitored.

With the emperor's statement, Liu Bian, as the heir apparent, could hardly hear any discordant voices.

As Emperor Ling took advantage of the situation and put the issue of establishing a prince above the court meeting, the matter was already finalized.

The emperor then ordered Yousi to choose an auspicious day.

As for the original crown prince official, as the crown prince's official equivalent to the Huben Yulin Langguan, it was stipulated in the system that they could not be exempted, so they were placed in the West Garden by the Ling Emperor long ago and the quota was sold out.

The rest, starting from the Prince's Shaofu, who is the head of the Prince's subordinate officials, are all blank.

However, Liu Bian is still living in the middle palace. Due to his age, neither Emperor Ling nor Empress He has the idea of ​​letting him move to the palace.

Therefore, the subordinate officials who were stationed in the Crown Prince's Palace were not in high demand, and more people focused on the Prince's Young Master.

This is the best candidate for the future Taifu!

But for the prince's young master, the loudest voice was not Lu Zhi, the minister who taught Liu Bian how to handle government affairs, but Yuan Wei, the Taichang.

Yuan Wei's biggest supporter was none other than General He Jin.

Although Emperor Ling knew that Liu Bian was interested in Lu Zhi, he did not immediately announce the candidate for the crown prince and tutor, but allowed the discussion to continue.

Liu Bian was hesitant whether to hint He Miao to come out to support Lu Zhi.

Because once He Miao does this, it means a political break between him and He Jin, and with He Jin's character, this break will never be expressed only in politics.

But Lu Zhi acted calmly and calmly.

Liu Bian finally couldn't help but asked: "Nowadays, there are rumors in the outer court. I heard it in the palace. Is Master Lu not aware of it?"

When Lu Zhi heard this, he raised his head, turned his eyes away from the official document, and said: "The rewards and punishments are the master's responsibility. How can I argue with the master! This matter is a matter that should be judged by His Majesty. People were talking about it at the time. No matter how much, so what?”

So, the next day, Liu Bian avoided Lu Zhi and approached the Ling Emperor, expressing the hope that Lu Zhi could also serve as the crown prince's young master.

Emperor Ling did not say he disagreed, but asked: "Bian'er seems not to like the Yuan family?"

Liu Bian pondered for a moment and replied: "At first, I was unhappy because I saw Yuan Shao often teasing the general. Later, after checking the official memorial documents, I found out that many of Yuan's disciples and former officials could not make Yuan the prince's young master."

"It's really good that you can think of this. But now Yuan Wei's reputation in the outer court is very high, not lower than that of Lu Ziqian, and his reputation is much better. Have you ever thought about it, if Lu Ziqian is the prince's young master, How should Yuan Wei be settled?"

"Continue to be too often?" Liu Bian asked tentatively.
