Chapter 270 Great doubts
After this imperial edict came down, a needle fell from Changle Palace could be heard.
Silent!
Judging from the content alone, this imperial edict is both reasonable and unexpected by everyone.
It is reasonable because the royal family emphasizes the establishment of legitimate rulers and eldest sons. Emperor Chengde died early and had no legitimate son. In other words, the eldest prince Ji Ku was originally the first heir to be the legal first heir, and it seemed reasonable for him to become the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty.
However, Emperor Chengde is not an ordinary emperor!
He had long resisted the pressure of those civil servants and broke free from the shackles of the patriarchal system. If he wanted to be a legitimate and chief, he would have been able to be established more than ten years ago. Why bother to fight with those civil servants until today that has not yet been appointed as a crown prince?
It is because the eldest prince is useless and Emperor Chengde looks down on him, so the position of the Eastern Palace has been delayed until today!
The dispute over the foundation of the country has been delayed to this point, and even the eldest prince Ji Ku himself has given up on the idea of fighting for the prince. He has begun to indulge in his sensuality over the years and no longer pay attention to the struggles in the court.
Even when Emperor Chengde was assassinated, this guy could hide if he could. As long as he was not supposed to come forward, he would hide in the Qin Palace and hang out with his beautiful wife and concubine.
At this moment, a great good thing suddenly fell, and the fat prince, the fat prince, was completely confused.
The other three princes were also confused.
The prime ministers of the three provinces, the officials of the six ministries, and the nine ministers of the court were all confused at this time.
They also gave up on the eldest prince early.
Only those pedantic literati knelt on their feet, with tears in their eyes: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Your Majesty’s ability to establish a leader means that this dispute over the foundation of the country was won by them!
Li Xin, who was standing in the last row, was also confused at this time. This Emperor Chengde was completely beyond his previous expectations.
Because it was in the last row, Li Xin could look up at Emperor Chengde without restraint.
At this moment, his little eyes were filled with big doubts.
This emperor was stabbed to death?
Who doesn't know about this eldest prince's virtue? In the past few years, he has played with women but also women. On the one hand, he has no foundation in the court, and on the other hand, he has no military support. He has the identity of the eldest son of the emperor, and on the other hand, he has no right to be the first son of the emperor.
Such a person takes the position of prince...
Sitting safely?
Among the four princes, any other three princes will take the position of crown prince, and the other princes will most likely extinguish the idea of fighting for greatness, and the dispute between crown prince will be settled.
But, this eldest prince...
Or, it is impossible for this fat pig to become the prince.
No prince will be convinced!
The emperor glanced at the ministers lightly and said: It is the rule of ancestors. Now that I abide by the rules of ancestors, what are the objections of the ministers?
In the past, ministers carried the banner of ancestor rules to fight against the emperor. Even so, the emperor often had the upper hand. If today, the banner of ancestor rules is personally carried, who can withstand it?
No one dares to talk too much.
All the officials knelt on the ground and respectfully said: "Your Majesty is wise."
After these people kowtowed to the emperor, they kowtowed to Ji Ku, who had just become the crown prince.
"I'm going to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
The eldest son of the emperor, Ji Ku, who was a little bloated, turned his head with some difficulty at this time and looked at the ministers kneeling all over the ground.
At this time, the eldest son's eyes were filled with great doubts.
I... became the prince?
Why...
He raised his hand blankly: "You...you get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The emperor looked at the three princes who were still standing coldly and said in a deep voice: "Don't you still pay tribute to the crown prince?"
The third prince Ji Chong looked angry, but he still endured it.
The three princes were all angry, but now that things have come to this point, they have no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Ji Chi.
"My brother, I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and barely stood up from the dragon throne.
"You guys."
"Most of you have heard about the Beishan Equinite. I was indeed resigned and was seriously injured. However, due to state affairs, I have not been able to take good care of myself. Now that I have established a crown prince, I can let the crown prince supervise the country and rest with peace of mind."
"In the future, all political affairs in the court will be submitted to the Eastern Palace, and the crown prince and the prime ministers will discuss them together. Do you think it is okay?"
At this time, of course no one dares to be the first to be a leader.
But no one nodded in agreement. After all, today's grand dynasty meeting was too unexpected.
Huan Chu, the servant of the sect, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said with his hands on the court, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the position of the crown prince involves the foundation of the country, and should be very cautious and should not be so hasty. I ask Your Majesty to temporarily take back this imperial edict and discuss it again!"
Huan Chu was able to stand up and say this because he had great courage.
Because of this sentence, you will directly offend the crown prince. As long as the crown prince succeeds, Huan Chu's best ending will be dismissal.
The evening of life is not guaranteed!
However, being able to stand up bravely at this time shows how loyal and brave the Xiang Xiang was.
The emperor glanced at Huan Chu indifferently: "Previous Secretary Huan thinks that I am not cautious enough to establish the crown prince?"
Old Huan Chu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not what the old minister means, the old minister means..."
Before he could continue to say anything, Emperor Chengde interrupted him impatiently.
"Okay, today's crown prince was decided after careful consideration. Although this is a state affairs, it is also a family affairs. I am the king and the head of the family. Can't I be able to do this?"
Huan Chu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty can do it naturally."
"Then stop talking."
The emperor coughed and said calmly to the eunuch beside him: "Chen Ju, I am tired, let them go."
The eunuch took two steps forward and sang loudly: "All officials retreated to court"
The court was silent and many people were reluctant to leave.
Especially the three princes except Ji Ku, each stood in the first row and was unwilling to leave.
Although Zuo Pushe, the current prime minister Zhang Qu, cannot understand what Emperor Chengde did, he is the leader of all officials, and at this time he needs to stand up and sort out the order.
This Haoran Gong has been raising Haoran's aura all his life, and his voice is naturally very loud. He only heard him shouting softly.
"You can't hear what the eldest grandfather said!"
He was the leader of civil servants. When he spoke, those civil servants naturally scattered their birds and beasts.
Pei Jin, Pei Sanlang, who was standing in front of the military officer, and Zong Xuantong, the head of the Zong family, could not understand the emperor, but they did not speak much and slowly withdrew from Changle Palace.
The military officers followed them and left Changle Palace.
Li Xin was standing in the last row, but at this time he went upstream, crossed the civil and military officials, walked to the front row, and came to the four princes.
At this time, the seventh prince Ji Wen trembled all over and stood there and refused to move.
Li Xin stepped forward and pulled his sleeve.
"Your Highness, go!"
The seventh prince looked back at Li Xin.
Li Xin yelled softly: "I believe me, leave quickly!"
