Canglan Empress

Chapter 676 Reserve 1
Things seem to be getting a little more complicated these days.

There is no doubt that Dayong regards the emperor as his respect. The King of War is just a special existence. Although it is feared by people, he does not participate in the government affairs.

In Yongjing City, only Zhanwang Mansion was originally a forbidden place for people, which can be viewed from a distance without being offended.

Today, however, things are clearly different.

The king of war went to the general and lived in the general's mansion, so the general's mansion has become a place that people fear. There is no urgent matter, and no one dares to come to disturb him.

Even if some people want to get closer to the major general and walk around more on weekdays, they will give up because of the King of War, and now that Xuanyin is pregnant, the others will stay away and dare not go forward.

After all, they are the children of the King of War. If something goes wrong, they can't bear the responsibility.

And the fourteenth prince lived in Zhanwangfu, and it was still the same Zhanwangfu that people dare not visit at will.

Therefore, the current situation in the court hall also makes people feel uncertain.

Ever since, one morning in September, the ministers suggested that it was time to establish a crown prince.

If the prince is selected as soon as possible, the ministers can feel at ease, otherwise they will always be in the same position, and they don't even know who to stand behind.

In fact, many ministers have seen the situation clearly, and they also understand in their hearts that in the future, Da Yongjiang Mountain will most likely belong to the fourteenth prince, but the fourteenth prince is still young and has no mother and concubine to support him.

Even, whether this His Highness has ambitions for the throne... the courtiers have no choice.

Therefore, most people do not dare to express their views at will.

If the emperor can decide on the candidate for the crown prince as soon as possible, they won't have to worry all day long and be indifferent to political affairs.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Tiande sat on the dragon chair, glanced at the officials, and asked majesticly, "Which prince do you think is the most qualified to be crowned prince?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the spirits of the officials were shocked.

After waiting for this sentence for a long time, the emperor finally asked their opinions?
This is finally determined to establish a crown prince.

However, after a shock, the civil and military officials began to look at each other in blank dismay.

To be honest, having been officials in the court for so many years, it is definitely impossible to say that they have no stance. Even the most humble prince in the court can still have a few supporters. King Xiao and King Heng with the head horns.

The hall was silent for a moment.

Someone suggested that King Xiao should be established. His Royal Highness acts calmly, has outstanding ability, is rigorous in style, and has outstanding achievements in the past year...etc.

When Jimo Shen Xiao heard this, he just lowered his eyes and said nothing, without showing the slightest complacency on his face.

Then someone immediately retorted: "King Xiao is extremely capable, there is no doubt about it, but King Xiao came from a humble background, according to the ancestral system, he is not qualified to inherit the great line."

Jimo Shen Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, but he still didn't speak.

"I feel that King Heng has a good background and strong government affairs ability, so he is the most qualified to be the prince."

"Heng Wang's family background is not low, but his government affairs ability is not particularly outstanding, at least compared with King Xiao, there is still a gap." The old minister who supported Jimo Shen Xiao said, "Governance requires ability and courage. The son of heaven cannot be judged only by birth."

Once the conversation started, the courtiers started arguing with each other, and no one would let anyone else, and they almost blushed and their necks were thick.

"Report to my father, my son has something to say."

Amidst the commotion, Heng Wang, who had always been low-key and silent and had a very low sense of presence, spoke.

The debate in the hall stopped abruptly.
