Chapter 237 Please Stand Up Your Lords
Zhongshuling, Shangshuling, and the servants under the door led seven or eight courtiers into the inner hall. When they saw Li Chong and Li Ze there, they didn't feel any difference, and respectfully saluted Emperor Qi Cheng.

"I will pay my respects to the Holy Majesty."

"Excuse me, let's all be flat."

After Xuan Ping Hou stood up, he exchanged a glance with his grandson Li Chong, and the two looked away as if nothing had happened.

"All the ministers are here, what's the matter?" Qi Chengdi's voice was hoarse.

Zhongshu ordered Wang Yu to present a box with both hands, and said respectfully: "The battle report sent by Beijiang, please have a look at it."

Emperor Qi Cheng glanced at the box, and it was locked, so Emperor Qi Cheng knew that Wang Yu and others hadn't opened the box yet.

Emperor Qi Cheng raised his eyelids, and said lightly: "Read the Zhongshu Order to me."

"Follow the orders of the Holy Majesty."

Wang Yu took two steps back, walked out of the inner hall holding the box, went outside, found the guard guarding the gate of the palace, let the guard smash the lock, and then walked in again holding the box.

Wang Yu picked up a memorial book from inside, opened it and read: "Chen Heng respectfully asks your Majesty to be safe. I am afraid, and His Majesty values ​​it, entrusts it with a heavy responsibility, and bestows it with the position of commanding the army."

This memorial was written by Duke Du Heng of the State of Lu. When everyone heard that the army had rescued two thousand people, some excited people blurted out their praises.

After reading the entire memorial and Wang Yu closing it, Emperor Qi Cheng raised his head and glanced around at the courtiers present, "The memorial only talks about the rescue of two thousand people, so the Northern Xinjiang is still dead. with?"

The Sangongs are people who don't understand military affairs. This is why they heard the battle report from Northern Xinjiang, so they specially sent someone to invite Xuan Pinghou and other generals to prevent them from being speechless when Emperor Qi Cheng asked about the war in Northern Xinjiang. Holy wrath.

Wang Yu looked at Xuan Ping Hou, Xuan Ping Hou also took two steps, bowed his body and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are not used to the cold weather in northern Xinjiang, but they can rescue the people from Xiliang. It’s a good start, Duke Lu is indeed a capable person, with him as the commander, he will definitely win the battle, Your Majesty just needs to wait for the good news.”

Even if the northern border was frozen, Marquis Xuan Ping praised Lu Guogong for fearing that he would be recalled to the capital by Emperor Qi Cheng. As long as he did not return to the capital, the eldest prince would be a toothless tiger. One less rival is a good thing for grandchildren.

Several other generals also nodded in agreement. There was only so much information sent back from Beijiang. No matter how ambitious they were, it was impossible for them to make up the situation in Beijiang. Will travel pool.

Emperor Qi Cheng suddenly felt lonely. If the British Duke were here, he would never say such vague words to him.

But as soon as he thought of allowing the British Duke to regain control of the situation in northern Xinjiang, Emperor Qi Cheng resisted in his heart.

He only hoped that, as Xuan Pinghou said, the army would win the battle.

Emperor Qi Cheng closed his eyes, indicating that if nothing happened, he would retreat.

Xuanping Houchao Shang Shuling winked, Shang Shuling's eyes flickered, and finally became firm, he took a step forward, and when the others bowed and prepared to retreat, he said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. "

Other people who didn't know the inside story looked at Shang Shuling in surprise, and Emperor Qi Cheng also opened his eyes to look at him, "What's the matter?"

Shang Shuling said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, the battle in northern Xinjiang is anxious, and I think it is necessary to give the soldiers of northern Xinjiang a reassurance, so that they will fight the enemy more bravely."

Emperor Qi Cheng squinted his eyes, his expression was indistinguishable, and his tone was unclear, "As Qing said, what is this reassurance?"

Li Chong's heart was beating more and more violently, and he could hear the beating and excited sound of the heart in a trance, he unconsciously clenched his fists, staring at Shang Shuling's mouth, listening to his words clearly It's something he's been planning for days.

"The country cannot live without kings for a day, minister, I implore the holy majesty to establish a prince!"

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the other people in the hall stared wide-eyed, looking at Shang Shuling in amazement.

Wang Yu and the servants under the door all looked down, and Shang Shuling asked for the crown prince without any warning!He didn't even say hello to both of them!

Wang Yu went to look at other people, not only the courtiers, but even Li Chong and Li Ze showed surprise, and then secretly coveted Qi Chengdi's expression, but saw that his expression was indifferent and calm.

As one of the three lords, and in charge of the six ministers, at Sankilometer, his status is second only to Zhongshuling Wang Yu, so when Shangshuling proposed to ask for a crown prince, it also shows that this is the thinking of most courtiers in the court .

After all, Emperor Qi Cheng had been ill in bed for some time, and he did not show his face at the court meeting again, and the political affairs were handed over to the three princes for discussion and disposal, which undoubtedly gave the courtiers the feeling that he was about to die of a serious illness.

The monarch is seriously ill in bed, but the crown prince has not yet been established, and there are wars in northern Xinjiang. Many courtiers are restless. This kind of anxiety is getting heavier and heavier. Under the rumors that the crown prince will be the third prince, these restless courtiers seem to be Found a kind of reassurance.

That's right, the crown prince has not yet been established, so you can ask the sage to establish a crown prince!

As long as the prince is around, their hearts will be at ease.

Sangong has never favored any prince. Today, Shang Shuling asked for the establishment of the crown prince, not because he was coaxed by Xuan Pinghou and the third prince, but because many officials from the six ministries came to Shang Shuling, implicitly expressing the matter of establishing the crown prince.

From the indifference of Shang Shuling at the beginning to the emphasis later on, the delivery of today's northern Xinjiang battle report was the last straw.

Although Shang Shuling didn't understand military affairs, he at least understood one truth. Looking at the 35 army, he didn't win favor with the 20 Xiliang army, so he knew the difficulty of this battle.

Shang Shuling didn't want the princes to fight for the dragon chair in case one day the Dragon Yu collapsed, which would lead to a turmoil in the court and fail to support the northern border, so that the Xiliang army would go south and take the capital directly, so he felt that it would be best Or take this opportunity to settle the prince.

Even if something happened to Emperor Qi Cheng, the crown prince could succeed to the throne without any dispute, and it would not affect the foundation of the country.

Emperor Qi Cheng stared at Shang Shuling fixedly, and said in an unclear tone, "Then according to Shang Shuling's meaning, who should be appointed as the crown prince?"

Shang Shuling felt a chill in his heart, he knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty should decide the crown prince of the country!"

Although he proposes to establish a crown prince, he will not favor any prince, as long as it is the crown prince appointed by Emperor Qi Cheng, he will assist the new king in governing.

Hearing Shang Shuling's words, the coldness hidden in Emperor Qi Cheng's eyes gradually disappeared.

Li Chong frowned, fearing that others would see the vision, and quickly let go. He thought that Shang Shuling would directly recommend him.

Seeing Shang Shuling kneeling and not speaking, Li Chong looked anxiously at his grandfather Xuan Pinghou, Xuan Pinghou gave him a calm look, gritted his teeth, took two steps and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I implore you to listen to one or two words of nonsense."

Emperor Qi Cheng said in a deep voice, "Say."

"The third prince respects the utmost purity and filial piety, loves his brothers, cares about the people, and has the demeanor of a king. I think that the third prince should be made the crown prince."

After Xuan Pinghou knelt down and recommended the third prince, among the courtiers who came with him, several people came out and recommended Li Chong.

As for Wang Yu and his servants, they stood silently aside.

Looking at the coercive scene in front of him, Emperor Qi Cheng was so angry that he felt dizzy soon.

He tried his best to support himself, so that no one could see his abnormality. If he fainted in front of the courtiers, the call for the crown prince would definitely be louder than now, and even Wang Yu and others would not stand by.

Emperor Qi Cheng remembered what he heard from Eunuch Xi at night, that there were all good things about the third prince outside, and the reputation of the third prince was higher than that of the emperor. Looking at Xuan Pinghou and others who knelt down and begged to make the third prince the crown prince, he The last trace of warmth in my heart was also cut off.

"This matter is of great importance. Let me think about it carefully. All of you should step back for now."

Knowing that this matter cannot be rushed, Li Chong did not bother, and retreated with the others.

After everyone left, Emperor Qi Cheng looked at Eunuch Xi who was standing in the corner, and tried his best to order: "Princess Xuan Dachang enters the palace."

　Remember the previous chapters where it was said that Chi Qiguang put some firewood in it?Well, it's the news that Emperor Qi Cheng is seriously ill.
