At the end of summer in the 31st year of the Showa era, the emperor fell ill, and all the kings entered the palace to attend to his illness.
Emperor Zhaohe ascended the throne at the age of twenty-six and inherited a great treasure. He reigned for thirty-one years and worked conscientiously. The rivers in all directions were clear and the sea was clear, and all the surrounding countries came to the dynasty. Although he did not expand the territory, he still maintained his business successfully, so he was regarded as a successful king.
Due to the illness of Emperor Zhaohe, who had accumulated great majesty in the court, a sudden storm suddenly arose in the court, and the storm below was surging. The kings were peeping underneath, and everyone was staring at that chair. After all, they are all the emperor's heirs. Who doesn't want to be able to sit in that position one day and rule the world from then on.
Who can resist this temptation?
After all, there is a huge difference between sitting to accept worship from others and kneeling to worship from others.
After the palace gate was opened, the kings entered the palace to attend to their illness. No one was willing to leave anyone behind, so the princes' sedans stopped early outside the Zhenghua Gate. They were supported by the guards of each family, forming a vague confrontation.
"Brother Xiang Wang is so benevolent and filial. He came here before dawn." The crimson gauze curtain was opened by a pair of slender hands, and a gentle young man wearing a four-clawed blue dragon suit came out, with a handsome face with clear features. Wearing a faint smile.
"King Zhou is not bad either. He came here before dawn." The fat Prince Xiang was wrapped in a gold-threaded dragon prince suit. The flesh on his face trembled. He snorted from his nostrils, and then Putting on a worried expression, he cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial palace, "My father is in poor health. As his son, I naturally have to worry about his old man. His speedy recovery is my greatest concern. .¡±
"Brother King Xiang is benevolent and filial." King Zhou's eyebrows were light, and there was a touch of sadness on his handsome and elegant face, which made him even more melancholy and beautiful. "My father is ill, and we brothers are worried about it, lest we can't replace him." My father is ill."
King Zhou¡¯s words were extremely tactful, which isolated King Xiang and gained the favor of other princes. The princes on the side all nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, King Zhou remained calm, but the smile in his eyes became even stronger.
King Xiang was secretly resentful, and only then did he realize that he had won over another wave of people. This abominable King Zhou, his usual hypocritical appearance is the most disgusting. However, his father and even everyone in the government and the public praised him for his clean demeanor and gentlemanly demeanor.
Emperor Zhaohe had many heirs, but only a few were crowned kings. Among them, the ones with the highest birth status and the most prestige in the court were King Xiang and King Zhou. Now, these two were talking tactfully, and the other princes and princes did not dare to say anything, and silently acted as transparent persons.
No one is stupid. The emperor who usually looks healthy suddenly fell ill at this time, and it is still so menacing. Even the doctors are helpless. They are secretly guessing whether their father is dying. Maybe it is this period of time. .
The emperor is already fifty-seven years old. Emperors throughout the ages have been basically this age. Now that the crown prince has not been decided, who doesn¡¯t want to make a good impression in front of the seriously ill emperor? Maybe the throne will fall to him?
The kings and princes were anxious, but among them King Zhou and King Xiang were the most anxious.
King Zhou is now twenty-four years old. He is the son of Concubine Ning. His background is much nobler than that of the concubines and even the palace girls. In a country that pays attention to family background, his status alone has gained a lot of attention. The support of the ministers who were born in China, not to mention the support of Concubine Ning's natal family, the Ning family; moreover, the King of Zhou has always been highly praised, saying that he is "a bright jade in Qinghua, his appearance is self-made, and he has the noble style of a gentleman." These gained King Zhou a lot of favor in Shilin.
When the crown prince has not yet been decided, the King of Zhou has always been one of the popular candidates.
As for the second one, it¡¯s the fat-bellied King Xiang in front of him. King Xiang is the eldest among the emperors. He is now thirty years old. After thirty years, he has a reputation among the courtiers for his prudent behavior. However, this is just that. Compared with the King of Zhou who has received much praise, he is still A bit lacking in ability. But he is the legitimate son of the middle palace and the eldest son of Empress Yuan. In line with the tradition of establishing a legitimate eldest son, there are many courtiers' preferences. In addition, because Empress Yuan had passed away, Emperor Zhaohe still showed pity and preferential treatment to his eldest son, so King Xiang also had many advantages.
The time has come, the palace key of Zhenghua Gate was taken away by the palace people, the palace door opened, and the kings hurriedly arranged their appearance and entered the palace.
"King Zhou, as a brother, I have to take the first step." King Xiang, who was the first to tidy up, glanced at King Zhou, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, and he took the lead and strode inside. Some princes who were attached to him followed him in.
"Brother King Zhou?" Prince Yi, who was the only one who followed the lead, asked carefully.
"Let's go." King Zhou looked at King Xiang's plump body walking in, a glimmer of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he raised a smile and saidWhy couldn't Emperor Zhaohe understand the meaning behind the words?
Because he was the eldest son of the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, he had courtiers to rely on him. He was polite and virtuous, well-versed in political affairs but aggressive. This does not mean that this Prince Xiang occupies the status of a legitimate eldest son but does not have much ability. It all depends on the number of retainers he has gathered under him. , and eager for quick success and instant benefit; clear about love and hate? Humph, that sounds nice. As an emperor, how could he not know that this son actually held a grudge against others and easily believed the villain's slander.
No matter how you listen to it, people inside and outside are saying that King Xiang is not capable of holding a big position.
Emperor Zhaohe was a little dissatisfied that his beloved son was demoted like this.
He laughed angrily, "You still have the same venomous tongue as always."
"I dare not take it." Qin Xiang said lightly.
"What about King Zhou?" After another long pause, Emperor Zhaohe continued to ask.
Prime Minister Qin pondered for a moment, "If he is the king of Zhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult for other kings to protect him well."
"You." Emperor Zhaohe was really angry, and his breath was stuck in his throat.
Qin Xiang was not afraid of the emperor's anger, nor was he afraid of angering the emperor to death. He cupped his hands and continued: "The king of Zhou is very talented and intelligent. He is indeed a good candidate for the throne."
Emperor Zhaohe glared at this minister, who was known for his uprightness, and was speechless for a long time.
"The king of Zhou has always been praised by the court and the public for his virtuous name, and has many supporters. Moreover, the king of Zhou has excellent talents and is well-versed in political affairs. If the king of Zhou takes over the East Palace, he will be better than the other kings."
Emperor Zhaohe closed his eyes and said nothing.
There was silence in Mingguang Hall.
"You go back first and let me think about it again." After a long while, the emperor said.
"I retire." Right Prime Minister Qin Yi bowed respectfully and retreated. He didn't straighten up and open the door until he exited the palace door. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Mingguang Palace.
Your Majesty, it¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯t even mention that person.
Prime Minister Qin let out a long sigh, turned and left.
"Please, Prime Minister Qin." Su Changshi sent Prime Minister Qin out of the Mingguang Hall and made an invitation gesture.
"It's time to work."
Then he turned and left. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
