Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 883 Prince Liu Rui
There was nothing to say that night, and the next morning, after Liu Wei got up, he had a hearty meal, put on his dragon robe, and prepared to go to court.

Compared with the past, although Liu Wei still looks a bit thin and weak, his spirit has been fully recovered, and he looks radiant, which is quite different from the lifeless Liu Wei before.

"Go up!"

After the little eunuch shouted, all civil and military officials knelt down and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Liu Wei said in a strong voice: "Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The current changes in Liu Wei are seen by all civil and military officials, and they are happy in their hearts.

When Liu Wei was dead, they felt that they had no energy to go to court. Now that Liu Wei has regained his glory, they have the energy to go to court.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for escaping from the sea of ​​suffering!"

Some ministers congratulated Liu Wei.

Liu Wei smiled lightly: "What is the sea of ​​suffering? It's just a few days of depression, and it's no different from being ill!"

"Your Majesty is right!"

Before anyone else could speak, Liu Wei took the lead and said: "Although I have been depressed and decadent these few days, I also want to understand one problem, that is, I have to establish a prince!"

As soon as Liu Wei said this, some civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty bowed their heads and remained silent, while others turned their eyes to Liu Peng.Some people also looked at Liu Wei's other heirs.

Because Liu An, Liu Wei's most capable son, died, the other princes who had given up on him became active again. If you want to say who Liu Wei's most admired son is after Liu An's death, it must be Liu Peng, but Liu Peng is good at leading troops to war, but he knows nothing about governing the country. Therefore, several sons of Liu Wei win over ministers in the court, especially after Guo Jia became crazy and Xu Shu died. Among them, the seventh son Liu Li and the eighth son Liu Fei and the eleventh son Liu Wang wantonly formed cliques for personal gain in the court, especially at the stage when Liu Wei was getting depressed. The few of them had confronted in private. Talk more and gain the upper hand.

However, these princes are all mediocre people, and Liu Fei, who has the most soldiers and horses in his hands, has only more than 1 private soldiers, and he is not considered elite. If he meets the Huben Army, a thousand Huben Army is enough to deal with it them.

Now that Liu Wei mentioned the matter of establishing the crown prince, the three of them immediately set their sights on Liu Wei, hoping that Liu Wei would establish himself as the crown prince.

But Liu Wei didn't look at them at all, but turned his attention to the positions of Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, and Sima Yi.

These three people were stared at by Liu Wei, Zhong Yao dared to look at Liu Wei, Sima Yi lowered his head, and Chen Qun also looked away.

The corners of Liu Wei's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile: "Master Zhong, who do you think I should appoint as the crown prince?"

Several princes also set their eyes on Zhong Yao, and cast their eyes on Jiji.

Zhong Yao straightened his waist, cupped his hands to Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty, who is the crown prince is your Majesty's family business. How dare old ministers intervene? Let your majesty decide for himself, but no matter who your majesty appoints as the crown prince, I will do my best." Let’s train the crown prince!”

Liu Wei cursed secretly in his heart: "This old fox has left himself completely, and won't mess with anyone!"

Liu Wei asked Chen Qun again: "Who does Wen Chang think I can make the prince?"

The princes looked at Chen Qun again,

Chen Qun replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the princes are almost the same in terms of character, knowledge, virtue, etc. It's hard for me to say which one of them can be the prince!"

Liu Wei smiled again, and looked at Sima Yi again. Sima Yi, a cunning guy, waved his hands hastily before Liu Wei could speak: "Your Majesty, I just came to the capital not long ago, and I don't know much about the princes. Jump to conclusions, let His Majesty decide for himself!"

It is best for them as courtiers not to interfere with the royal affairs, if they are on the wrong team, they will lose their heads.

Liu Wei saw that he couldn't get a result from asking the minister, so he asked Liu Peng directly: "Peng'er, do you want to be this prince?"

Liu Peng answered bluntly: "Father, I know I don't have that ability, so I don't want to be the prince!"

"Well, you're fine!"

In fact, who should be the prince, Liu Wei already had a candidate in his mind. The reason why he asked Liu Peng such a question was because he wanted Liu Peng to assist the future prince and even be the regent.

And the rest of the princes secretly scolded Liu Peng for being a fool in their hearts, and they didn't want such a good opportunity.

While scolding Liu Peng in his heart, the other princes were waiting for Liu Wei to ask them, but Liu Wei didn't ask them at all, and said directly: "Since Peng'er has no intention of being a prince, let Rui'er Be it!"

"What?"

The rest of the princes were shocked and angry, Liu Wei actually made Liu Rui the crown prince, they had prepared for so long, Liu Wei actually gave the position of crown prince to Liu Rui, a little boy.

Feeling overwhelmed, Liu Fei stood up and asked, "Royal Father, Liu Rui is still young and has not reached the age of weak crown, how can he be the crown prince?"

Liu Wei knew that he was not convinced, but Liu Wei couldn't change his mind, so he said: "Hehe, although Rui'er is young, Rui'er has courage and intelligence. If he is cultivated, his ability is not inferior to that of Liu An. As for you, even Liu An can't compare to you, do you still want to be princes!"

Liu Fei was ashamed by what Liu Wei said, and lowered his head in shame.

But Liu Li jumped out at this time: "Father, Liu An's rebellion is a criminal minister. Liu Rui is the criminal minister, and he should be beheaded. It is already a great kindness for the father not to kill him. How can he make him a king?" Where is the prince?"

"presumptuous!"

Liu Wei slapped the dragon chair, stood up and roared: "According to what you said, you are still the younger brother of the guilty minister. If your brother rebelled, then I have to kill you too. Liu An is my son and the queen's." Son, are you going to punish me and the queen for being incapable of discipline, and kill us too?"

"My son doesn't dare!"

Liu Li lowered his head, gritted his teeth and stepped back.

At this time, the same thought came to these people's minds, that is, even if Liu Rui became the prince, but Liu Rui was young, if any "accident" happened, then Liu Wei would still make another prince.

The royal family has no father and son, let alone uncles and nephews. For the emperor, there is nothing they cannot do.

But how could Liu Wei not think of what they thought of, Liu Wei could see their careful thinking at a glance.

Sure enough, after Liu Wei announced Liu Rui as the crown prince, he issued another imperial edict ordering the crown prince Liu Rui to come to the residence of the second prince Liu Peng.

Liu Peng is responsible for Liu Rui's safety.

Liu Wei did this to protect Liu Rui's safety. Although Liu Rui has his care in the palace, he is the king of a country and has too many things to deal with. The second is to cultivate the relationship between Liu Rui and his second uncle Liu Peng. When Liu Rui ascends the throne, Liu Peng can also assist Liu Rui.
