The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 782
In fact, this is a threat in disguise. Taking care of Gu Wanfang is the first, and using Gu Wanfang as a bargaining chip is the second.

If Gu Changbai wanted Gu Wanfang to pursue an official career, he had to promise not to come to the capital to look for him until Gu Wanfang was admitted to the Jinshi.

It is impossible for him to support Gu Changbai's family, and Gu Wanfang's ability to keep Gu Wanfang depends on his good aptitude and temperament.

For people like Gu Changbai, Gu Chengyu has tolerated enough, throwing him to Yingnan Mansion will be a one-hundred-and-a-half.

After Gu Chengyu sent Gu Changbai and the others back to Nanfu, it was only a few days of peace and quiet.

Ye Zhiqiu's Chuan Chuan Xiang shop has already opened, and Gu Chengyu took a few colleagues he knew to his shop to hold two sessions.

On this day, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was holding a court meeting as usual.

"Do you still have this introductory note, dear ones?" The emperor planned to leave the court after finishing talking about the affairs of the court.

"I have something to play, please let the emperor Rong Bing!" Qian Licong, the censor of the left deputy capital, came out from the left and bowed to the emperor.

"Quite!" The emperor glanced at Qian Licong, then nodded.

"Your Majesty, I thought that the establishment of the crown prince has been delayed for a long time, and I ask the emperor to establish the crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize the court!"

The emperor's eyes were slightly closed. These courtiers urged him to make a crown prince every now and then, and he was very annoyed.

It seems that the matter of establishing the crown prince should not be delayed any longer. The court ministers have long been very dissatisfied, and the crown prince still has to be established.

"My minister seconded the proposal! The East Palace has always been without an owner, which is not good for the country. I implore the emperor to establish a prince as soon as possible, divide the affairs of the common people, and supervise the army and supervise the country!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

The eldest prince and the third prince who stood at the front all curled up their mouths, it's time, they've waited long enough.

Both the second prince and the fourth prince are old gods, but it's unknown what they feel in their hearts.

The emperor looked at the official kneeling on the ground, and was furious.

It's not that he doesn't want to establish a prince, but which of these four princes should he choose?

The emperor has been vacillating between these princes, feeling that no one is qualified for the position of prince.

The emperor laughed back in anger, "Then, which prince do you love to think is suitable to be the master of the East Palace?"

There was silence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Seeing the emperor suppressing his anger, no one dared to be such a bird.

"Qian Aiqing, since you brought up this matter first, what do you mean?"

Qian Licong was shocked when he heard the words, his eyes flicked over the princes in front, he paused for a moment, and then he spoke.

"My minister thinks that the second prince is from the middle palace, gentle and honest, easy-going and obedient, he should be the best candidate for the east palace."

What Qian Licong said made the second prince frowned, Mr. Qian was too eager, jumping out so impatiently, it was inevitable that his father felt that he couldn't wait.

Although the ministers also mentioned the establishment of the crown prince at the court meeting before, they were all blocked by the father.

Now that he said this, he became blatantly coveting the throne, and the emperor inevitably felt unhappy.

Besides, there will definitely be big things happening later, so raising it first at this moment will only make the emperor feel that he is too impatient, let alone get a result.

The emperor's old eyes flashed, "Oh? Second child?"

"Please forgive me, the emperor, I have something to say."

At this time, Huo Huaizhong, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishments, also came out from the left and bowed to the emperor.

"Does Huo Aiqing disagree with Qian Aiqing's statement?" The emperor glanced at the second prince, and his whole body trembled.

Father is dissatisfied with him?The second prince secretly groaned in his heart.

"Back to the emperor! Although the second prince is a direct descendant, his temperament is too gentle and he is not decisive enough to deal with things. I think that I may not be qualified for the position of prince."

These words caused the Second Prince's Party to glare at each other, and Huo Huaizhong was not afraid of tearing his face. He was originally the Third Prince's Party, and it was a critical moment, so he must exert his strength.

If you want to be a great minister and enjoy wealth and honor in the future, you have to pay some price. What is it to offend the second prince?
Anyway, he had offended someone long ago, and Huo Huaizhong was not afraid.

The emperor sat up straight and looked at Huo Huaizhong, "Then according to Huo Aiqing, who can do it?"

"Back to the emperor, I thought that the third prince could take on this great job! The third prince is intelligent, quick-witted, and fair in dealing with things. He is the best choice."

As soon as this remark came out, many ministers present sneered.

The third prince is a little clever, but if he wants to be a prince, he probably isn't qualified enough.

Before Wan Xuenian's incident, there were many shrewd and capable people in the court, and some officials had already guessed that it was the third prince who had done it ruthlessly.

This is my grandfather!What's wrong with this?
The third prince was in a hurry to get rid of him, fearing that he would hurt himself.How can such a style not be chilling?
How can such a cruel and merciless person, if he becomes a great treasure afterwards, who can guarantee that he will not cross the river and tear down the bridge?

That is to say, those three princes who followed before are still supporting them. These people have all boarded the thief ship of the third prince. Even if they want to get down, no prince can take them under their wings.

After all, everyone's confrontation overtly and secretly has already hurt harmony. If they betray the master, other princes will not dare to use it.

"The top choice? Master Huo's words are biased!" Bian Shengrong, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, sneered.

He went out to salute the emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty! The eldest prince is the eldest son, with a decisive personality. You have always done your best in the tasks you entrusted. You were ill before, and you were sick every day. You can be described as loyal and filial." Both, and loving the younger brother, cultivating benevolence and doing righteousness. I believe that the eldest prince is fully capable of taking the position of crown prince."

Bian Shengrong's words made all the officials present twitch, this guy is really thick-skinned.

This boasted that there is nothing in the sky and nothing in the earth, as if the eldest prince has no shortcomings.

But everyone knows that the eldest prince is vicious and cruel, although he is decisive in dealing with things and has a lot of ability, but his temperament is not generous enough.

"Does anyone else have any suggestions? You may wish to speak freely."

The emperor's expression was half a smile, these people couldn't wait a long time ago, and they planned to tear their face completely apart today.

Anyway, it has already started, and the emperor also wants to know which officials secretly support these princes.

The factions of the three princes were competing, so the three naturally couldn't remain indifferent, and became somewhat anxious.

Only the fourth prince remained calm, he snorted in his heart, the possibility of him ascending to the crown prince was unlikely.

Even if the officials who supported him were as spitting as those people, the father still would not include himself in the list of candidates for the prince.

It's better to save some effort, so as not to waste your tongue.

And it seems that the sun is long, what is the position of prince?That seat is his ultimate goal.

The fourth prince glanced at the dragon chair, and at the same time secretly made up his mind.

Before, he kept a low profile and laid out his plans slowly, which gave these brothers a chance to stand here and compete.

Is it because I am soft-hearted and can't do anything?From now on, he won't be soft-hearted anymore.
