Half an hour later, the news spread out, and the civil and military officials heard it and burst the pot.

The second prince is always fighting and seldom appears. If the three old princes hadn't mentioned it, they would have almost forgotten the existence of such a prince.

An Shangshu was also surprised. At the beginning, he went to test Fengche's words, and Fengche showed him a strong relationship. Since then, he has been more cautious, lest the emperor should see that he has the intention to help the fifth prince. But unexpectedly, Fengche directly recommended the fifth prince in front of the emperor.

"Prepare the sedan chair, I'll go to the fifth Prince's mansion!"

The fifth prince also heard the news and was about to send someone to invite him. Hearing that he had come, he welcomed him directly to his study.

"Grandfather, what do you think of this?"

Every prince wants the crown prince, and the fifth Prince is no exception. He wanted to do it slowly, but he was caught off guard by the sudden wind in the palace.

On the way here, an Shangshu thought all the way, "it should be true that the big prince caused so many things, all because the Emperor didn't set up a prince. It's reasonable for several old princes to play."

"Then we..."

An Shangshu waved his hand, "you'd better be calm. We'll have a long-term plan."

They talked for more than half an hour from the study, and then an Shangshu came out and went to Prince Zhan's house in a hurry.

After receiving the report, Fu Bo came out and saluted an Shangshu, "sorry, my Lord is not feeling well. He took the medicine and went to sleep. An Shangshu will come back in a few days."

For a moment, an Shangshu didn't respond. He was worried, "I..."

Fubo looked around and lowered his voice. "An Shangshu, our Lord asked me to tell you that the emperor wanted to test the actions of the officials, and you were deceived."

An Shangshu just reacted and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Thousands of calculations, but not to the news is the emperor let people out, maybe even go to the fifth Prince's house, the emperor's people also saw.

Thinking of this, he sweated more, "old housekeeper, does the LORD have anything else to say to me?"

Fubo shook his head, then raised his voice, "an Shangshu, walk slowly!"

In the end, he has been a minister for many years, and an's response this time is also very quick. "Well, please tell Lord Zhan that I'll see him again in a few days."

With that, he turned around and returned to the carriage with steady steps. But when the curtain fell, he almost hit the car wall with regret.

In the palace, Fengche is playing chess with Xia Xi.

Xia Xi came back from the government. Soon after bathing, she was dressed in an inner garment with half dry hair.

Put down the chess pieces in hand, Xia Xi said with a smile, "an Shangshu's one stroke is to bury the crown prince's position of the fifth prince."

Feng Che also dropped a chess piece, "even if he didn't do it, the emperor will not make the fifth prince as the prince. The reason why people let the news out is to see the reaction of civil and military officials."

"Also, an Shangshu is in a high position, and an Xiong is in charge of the army temporarily. The emperor must be afraid. How can he give the crown prince's position to the fifth prince?"

Finish saying, smile to see breeze Che, "however, still my mutually public is clever, calculated them all into."

Her eyebrows smile, just bathed in the body exudes fragrance, wind Che eyes deep up, etc. Xia Xi aware of his change, wind Che has thrown the pieces in his hand, bent over to hold her.

……

Most of the civil and military officials didn't sleep well that night. When they went to court the next morning, they all had dark circles under their eyes.

The emperor pretended that he didn't know what was going on. He was surprised to see that each of them had no spirit. "Aiqing, did you go to be thieves last night? Why are you so spiritless? "

None of the civil and military officials dare to answer. They all think that the news comes from their own internal sources.

The emperor's eyes skimmed over their faces one by one, and finally stayed on an Shangshu.

An Shangshu bowed his head and pretended not to notice. He was very calm.

The emperor drew back his eyes. "Dear Aiqing, yesterday several old princes came to the palace and suggested that I establish a crown prince. I didn't have a good rest last night. Thinking about it, I think the old princes are right. It's time for me to establish a crown prince, too. Do you have any suggestions?"

Inside the hall, it was quiet for a moment, and the needles could be heard.

All the civil and military officials have their eyes, nose, and heart. No one dares to move them for fear that they will be named by the emperor and become the first bird.

The emperor's majestic voice in the silence of the hall is particularly loud, "how, you love Qing is not willing to I Li prince?"

An Shangshu made up his mind today. No matter what the emperor said, he would not be the first one to make a sound. But the emperor failed. After asking, no one answered and asked him, "an Shangshu, what's your suggestion?"

An Shangshu came out and bowed slightly. "When I return to the emperor, it's not appropriate for me to discuss this topic."

"Oh?"

The emperor lengthened his voice, "why?"

"I'm the grandfather of the fifth prince. If I recommend other princes, I'll tell everyone that the fifth Prince is incompetent and will bring him criticism. If you recommend the fifth prince, you will be regarded as selfish. Therefore, it is not appropriate for me to discuss this topic. "

The emperor laughed, "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm confused, but I forgot your identity. You're right. You really shouldn't participate. In that case, you don't have to participate in today's morning. Step down. "

An Shangshu's heart sank. The emperor's move seemed to let him avoid suspicion. In fact, he showed his attitude to the civil and military officials. He was afraid that the fifth prince would not be the crown prince.

On the face of calm, "I'm leaving."

He understood the emperor's mind, and so did the civil and military officials.

When he came out of the palace, the ministers began to talk in a low voice. The emperor did not stop him, so he sat quietly and let them talk.

A quarter of an hour later, the discussion did not stop. The emperor coughed and the hall was quiet,

"How, do you have any suggestions?"

Civil and military officials, you look at me, I look at you, there are several old ministers out, "the emperor, I also think that the second prince is a suitable candidate for the prince, but his mother's position is too low, it is unreasonable to establish the second prince as the prince."

"It's easy to say. I immediately appointed Xiupin as xiufei and moved into Chaoyang palace as the head of the first palace."

……

"Master, master!"

In the second prince's mansion, the housekeeper, holding his clothes and pendulums, ran into the main courtyard shouting all the way. He couldn't help but be excited. "Master, the emperor has made an order to appoint the empress xiufei and move into Chaoyang palace, and invite you to enter the palace immediately."

The second prince tengxia stood up, "seriously?"

The housekeeper nodded and said, "it's true. The little eunuch is waiting outside the house."

"Come on, change my clothes!"

The servant girl took the clothes prepared in the morning and waited on him to put them on.

The second prince strode out of the palace. With the imperial edict, the little eunuch entered the palace. In the eyes of civil and military officials, he calmly went to the emperor and knelt down, "see you father."

The emperor looked at him condescensively, and his majestic voice could not hear any emotion. "Civil and military officials suggested that I make you prince. Would you like to?"
