The best ring

Zhao Xuan was very angry at this time, very angry.

In his opinion, he was almost certain to ascend to the position of the crown prince, and the ministers in the court should also understand this. However, those ministers did not seem to have any intention of showing him goodwill, which puzzled him and made him very angry.

Do these bastards look down on him?

Is he so unbearable in the eyes of those people?

"Your Highness, calm down." Gu Lin hurriedly advised: "In my opinion, the reason why those ministers are still waiting and watching may be because His Majesty has not yet canonized you as the crown prince. Once you ascend to the position of the crown prince, then those ministers will naturally take the initiative to show their goodwill and serve you."

"If it really comes to that time, do I still need them to show their goodwill and serve you?" Gu Lin's words did not comfort Zhao Xuan, but made him even angrier.

At any time, sending charcoal in the snow is better than adding icing on the cake. What's more, he is now in charge of handling the government affairs. Isn't it a foregone conclusion that he will become the crown prince? It can't be considered as timely help, but in the end, those people were so tactless and still didn't like him, which made Zhao Xuan really dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, the issue of the crown prince's position must not be taken lightly as long as it has not been settled." Gu Lin said.

"What do you mean by this?" Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Lin and asked, "Could it be that there are still variables in this matter now?"

"As long as His Majesty has not issued an order, there will be variables in this matter, and some ministers will choose to wait and see." Gu Lin said.

"What variables can there be in this matter?" Zhao Xuan said dissatisfiedly: "Now my father has asked me to be responsible for handling state affairs instead of letting other princes be responsible. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"But His Majesty has not issued an order to enthrone you as the crown prince." Gu Lin said.

"That's because my father is ill and has no energy for the time being." Zhao Xuan said, "Besides, my father probably wants me to adapt first and observe it by the way."

"But other ministers may not think so." Gu Lin said, "Your Majesty has not issued an edict to explicitly appoint you as the crown prince. Now is the best time, but His Majesty did not do so, which will inevitably make some people hesitate."

"They have no sense at all?" Zhao Xuan said, "These are all obvious things, and they can't figure it out?"

Gu Lin did not speak. After Zhao Xuan vented, he said, "Don't care about them! After this period of time, when my father officially appoints me as the crown prince, they will beg me for it!"

The old emperor has always been in poor health, and this time his condition is even more serious. Once he is appointed as the crown prince, it means that he will soon become the emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom. At that time, the ministers in the court will naturally ask him and treat him with respect.

Gu Lin thought about it and nodded again. He also felt that the current situation was still good for them. Although His Majesty had not yet canonized the eldest prince, letting the eldest prince be responsible for handling state affairs was a very positive signal.

"Your Highness, how is His Majesty's condition?" Gu Lin asked: "If His Majesty suddenly... and at that time, you have not been canonized as the prince, then this matter will still be uncertain."

Gu Lin's worries were not unnecessary. Although Zhao Xuan was indeed responsible for handling state affairs, it was the arrangement of the old emperor after all, and he had not been canonized as the prince. If the old emperor really had any accidents, then Zhao Xuan might not be able to ascend the throne. After all, compared with other princes, he was not much different in status.

Zhao Xuan frowned slightly and said, "To be honest, I don't know about my father's condition. Since he fell ill, I haven't seen him again. I wanted to pay my respects to him or ask him some questions, but I was stopped. The doctors who treated my father were also not allowed to see him. They should have been ordered to keep silent."

"Your Highness, even you can't see His Majesty?" Gu Lin frowned slightly.

The old emperor has not seen anyone since he fell ill. Gu Lin understands this and can understand it. After all, the old emperor is in a serious condition now and needs to rest and treat well. He can't be too worried and waste energy.

But Gu Lin didn't expect that even Zhao Xuan couldn't see the old emperor. This was really beyond his expectations.

Zhao Xuan is different from others after all. He is the eldest prince and has been living in the palace. Now he is authorized by the old emperor to handle state affairs. In any case, he should have some privileges and should not be considered an "irrelevant person".

Zhao Xuan shook his head and said, "I can't see him either."

"What is your majesty thinking?" Gu Lin said, "It's okay that the ministers in the court can't see your majesty, but you are different from them. You should be able to see him no matter what."

"I can't figure this out either." Zhao Xuan said, "When I went there, I was stopped by the eunuchs and guards at the door. They said I couldn't go in. This was specifically instructed by my father. Without his order, no one can see him, not even the princes and princesses."

"Your Highness, do you think that your majesty's condition is very serious, very serious." Gu Lin said, "Now is a critical period. Whether it is the relationship with Shuiyue Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom, or the competition for the position of the crown prince in the court, it has reached the most critical moment. Your majesty may be afraid that the news of his serious illness will spread and cause unnecessary panic."

"Then you shouldn't miss me, right?" Zhao Xuan said: "I am now responsible for handling all matters in the court. Don't you want to know the latest news in the court?"

Gu Lin frowned and said: "His Majesty has always been very concerned about the affairs of the court. Even if all matters are now handed over to His Highness, he should not ignore them all at once. But now no one is there. , I feel that His Majesty’s condition is more serious than imagined. It’s not that His Majesty doesn’t want to ask, but that he is powerless and doesn’t have the energy to ask.”

"What you said makes sense to me." Zhao Xuan stood up nervously and said, "No, my father can't die yet, and he hasn't named me the crown prince yet? What if something happens to him now? , what should I do?”

Obviously, in Zhao Xuan's heart, his ascending to the position of prince is more important than his father's body. He is worried that something will happen to the old emperor, not because he is concerned about the old emperor himself, but because he is worried about his ascending to the position of prince. If something unexpected happens, as long as he is canonized as the prince, he will not care whether something happens to his father. In fact, he is very likely to wish that his father will die soon.
