Wife Hua

Chapter 340
The most depressed person was the second prince. According to everyone's impression of him, the prince's words should have come from his mouth, but it turned out that the prince benefited, and he was taught a lesson by the emperor to learn from the prince.

Although they all participated in and discussed state affairs in the court, the crown prince had a higher status than them after all.

This is knowing that the emperor's intention to register the crown prince is impure, and the three princes all know that the crown prince's position is like a poison wrapped in sweet honey, and they will scramble to grab it!
"My son bears in mind his father's teachings, and will follow the example of his elder brother, the prince, to serve the court and share his father's worries."

The third prince had a shy smile on his face, and his voice was pleasant.Naturally, the second prince would not perform too badly. After all, his father and courtiers were watching and evaluating their potential and value.

"I can't say such inspiring words as His Royal Highness, I am willing to..." The second prince's tall and strong body straightened and knelt in front of the emperor, "The Northwest has been peaceful for more than ten years because of the death of General Mu, but my son I think they are always ready to move, and I am willing to give up everything in the capital and go to the northwest to guard it!"

The prince was shocked, the courtiers were surprised, and even the smile on the emperor's lips faded a lot.

The third prince's lips twitched, "Second brother, are you going to the northwest?"

Although it is possible for the second prince to control the military power because of this, it is too far away from the capital. If there is an accident, having military power will not be of much use. When the prince ascends the throne, a death edict may kill the second prince. Even if the second prince revolted, how many soldiers and horses could the northwest land support?

Can it compete with the forces of the Central Plains of the Empire?
What's more, Shanhaiguan is in the hands of Yang Yao. Yang Zongbing can not only repel the enemies outside the pass, but also restrain the northwest.

The second prince said loudly: "My son is just a mediocre person in the court. Only by going to the northwest and guarding the frontier for my father, can my son be reborn and become a useful minister."

"Your thoughts, I understand."

The emperor looked at the second prince and said in a low voice: "But I only have your three sons, each of them is very precious. After all, I am a father, so I can't bear to part with you."

"Father..."

"It's good that you want to defend the border for the country, and I can't live up to this thought, but you...you have been growing up in the palace. Although you also studied riding and archery, you didn't put in much painstaking effort after all."

The emperor's eyes were deep, "On the battlefield, you can't just be ambitious, let alone talk about wars on paper. That's why I am especially grateful to Princess Anle for letting me see Mu Shizi's true strength."

The corners of Mu Hua's mouth slightly raised, and she took advantage of the situation and said, "The second prince is by no means a boastful person, the emperor should not be compared with the second prince by others."

"Your Majesty, since His Highness the Crown Prince has a tutor, why don't you give it to the Second Prince?" Mu Hua smiled at the Third Prince with a hint of gratitude, "The Third Prince also invited a teacher, so naturally he cannot compare with the Prince's tutor, but You can understand the preferences and aspirations of the two princes, and teach them in accordance with their aptitude, so that we can live up to the talents and ambitions of the princes."

Mu Hua looked at the emperor with almost the same meaning.

"Your Majesty, I think that His Highness the Crown Prince's name has been determined now. Since you want to cultivate the Second Prince and the Third Prince to assist His Highness the Crown Prince, the three princes will all enter the court to assist the government. Youdao's name is not correct, and the words are not right."

Liu Sanlang suddenly made a sound, breaking the tacit understanding between the emperor and Mu Hua, and implored: "Conferring the two princes as kings, with the royal titles of the princes, if you want the princes to be more loyal to the court, you don't have to always regard the second prince and the third prince as kings." The prince is commensurate."

"Exactly, I agree with what the third young master said."

"The minister reconsidered."

Mu Hua found that the people who stood up to agree with him had high or low official positions, but they all had a common feature. They were relatively young, and it was not appropriate to use youth. They were all courtiers in their forties.

They were all promoted by the emperor in recent years, or ministers from the six ministries transferred back from outside Beijing. Among these people, at least half of them were introduced by Liu Sanlang to Mu Hua that day.

Otherwise, Liu Sanlang has no status, no rank, and he went to court with the help of Princess Anle, how could he get the courtiers' approval and reconsideration when he casually proposed to make the prince king?

Even if it's already brewing.

Neither she nor Liu Sanlang had any intention of underestimating the elders of the courtiers and cabinets. The chief minister of the cabinet may have already weighed the pros and cons, but they just haven't made up their minds for a while, let alone the emperor's mind.

"Shoufu, what do you think of Saburo's suggestion?"

The second prince and the third prince then looked at the ministers of the first and auxiliary cabinets. In fact, they have no rank except for the status of princes. If you become a queen, you can build your own palace, and you can justifiably have guards and ministers. It is more likely that the staff will intervene as a guarantee with the dignity of the prince, and it will be more convenient to win over Xu Li's courtiers.

Even the third prince, who didn't like Liu Sanlang, felt somewhat grateful to him at this moment.

In fact, there is no one who is more suitable to make this proposal than Liu Sanlang's current status. Liu Sanlang is originally a son of the chief family, and being crowned king is not only a matter of the state, but also a matter of the royal clan. King Wei controls the clan mansion. The power of the clan is not small.

Moreover, Liu Sanlang is only white now, and has no official rank, so he has no intention of exchanging benefits. After all, everyone knows that the right way is to be born in the imperial examination. Liu Sanlang has a very good reputation among scholars, and he is called a gentleman. They are all dignified and upright, and they are also walking on the Sunshine Avenue.

The prince also looked at Shoufu eagerly, he wished he could strangle Liu Sanlang to death, there was no such thing as harming him, wouldn't it be enough for the prince to appear in the court?Would it be possible to have two more princes with six crowns?
The later the two younger brothers become kings, the better for him!
The first assistant raised his heavy eyelids, avoiding the sight of the three princes, and looked around at the courtiers who stood up to second Liu Sanlang, secretly surprised, the emperor's hand has been stretched so long?
He didn't believe that all these courtiers agreed with Liu Sanlang because Liu Sanlang was a gentleman of good conduct.

How many people did the emperor still bury in the court?

He, the head of the hundred officials, didn't notice at all that many of these people were promoted only after his nod. If they hadn't stood up, would they have been regarded as the chief assistant?

He was old, really old, and couldn't understand many things, let alone His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

The emperor did not urge Shoufu, as if he respected Shoufu and allowed Lord Shoufu to think clearly.

"I think... I think Mr. Liu Sanlang's suggestion is very good."

Shoufu thought of his gray beard, which has been pretty enough these years, so why not just satisfy the emperor, so that he can retire from court peacefully.

At this time, he had already made up his mind to leave, otherwise it would be very difficult for him not to be involved in the turmoil in the court. After all, he was the chief assistant, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to hide or be neutral.

"Your Majesty is old and not in good health. I implore His Majesty to allow you to return to your hometown to take care of you."

Shoufu was a straightforward person, he resigned face to face, the emperor looked at him for a long time, "Go back to the mansion and think about it, if you still decide to resign, I promise you."
