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

Chapter 910 Exciting Moments
"Since you want to announce this matter, it is very inappropriate for the fourth son to be absent from the scene."

The emperor turned to look at De'an, "Go to Xuan Lao Si to go to the palace."

The officials below all looked at each other secretly, with different expressions.

"Your Highness, the weather is very cold today, you have to put on this cloak!"

Xiao Chengzi saw that his prince had hurriedly changed into his court clothes and was about to go out, so he quickly chased after him with his cloak.

Prince Jing hurriedly walked out of the mansion, he didn't care about whether it was cold or not.He went to court today, but he didn't go because he was unwell.

Anyway, this kind of situation often happens in the past, so the emperor only asked a few words before agreeing.

But he didn't expect that if he didn't go today, something big happened.

The father called so urgently, Xiao Quanzi said that all the officials of the court were waiting for him, because there was something to announce at the court meeting.

But no matter how much Prince Jing asked, Xiao Quanzi refused to say any more.

It is only said that he is a servant, who neither serves the emperor closely nor is on duty in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, how can he know the details here?

Prince Jing hurriedly got into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards the palace.

Prince Jing calmed down and began to think carefully.First of all, he's not that important yet, and it's not like the court meeting can't go on without him.

Second, it certainly wasn't because he made any mistakes.Because he made a mistake, Xiao Quanzi didn't come alone, and although Xiao Quanzi spoke eagerly, his expression was not cold and hard, it was just that his eyes were a little weird.

As for why it was weird, Prince Jing was not in the mood to guess right now.He doesn't need to guess the thoughts of a slave.

But he thought of a possibility that his father called him to the court in a hurry, it must be for the establishment of the heir.

Suddenly he sat up straight with a solemn expression on his face.Is the father going to announce the candidate for the crown prince today?The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

No matter how Prince Jing thought about it, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was completely silent.

Don't look at those ministers who were jumping around for joy just now, but they knew that it was when the emperor hadn't made a decision, so the emperor could naturally tolerate it.

But at this moment, the emperor has made up his mind, and the candidate has not yet been announced.If they still don't shut up, it's a little ignorant.

The emperor looked at the silent ministers below, then glanced at the three princes standing in front, and couldn't help but groan in his heart.

Right now, it's all gourds with sawn mouths. After he announces the result, those ministers will definitely be turned upside down.

However, this is a must for the crown prince.The emperor regrets it now, he might as well have established the crown prince earlier, anyway, if he doesn't abdicate, can the crown prince force the palace?

"My sons and ministers see the father, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After waiting for about half an hour, King Jing hurried on and finally arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Looking at Prince Jing who was panting slightly, the emperor's eyes were very complicated.

"Be flat!"

"You have been discussing the establishment of the crown prince for a long time. As for the candidate, everyone has always insisted on their opinions. But the East Palace has been empty for a long time, and there must be no further delay. You are all present today, and I will announce the candidate for the crown prince."

Prince Jing's face sank when he heard this, he really wanted to establish a crown prince, otherwise why would his father be so anxious to let him go to court?

He guessed in his heart who his father would choose as the crown prince, and after thinking about it for a moment, his heart was filled with bitterness.

Whoever it was, it couldn't be him anyway.Who then is to him, and what difference does it make?
"I don't know who the emperor wants to be the crown prince?" Xia Qing came out and asked what everyone thought.

In fact, Xia Qing already knew it in his mind. Judging from the various actions of the emperor before, who is that person if he is not the eldest prince?
The emperor pondered for a while, and then finally spoke under the eager eyes of everyone, "The eldest prince Zhao Xian is very talented and capable, and he has won my heart in handling common affairs. He has always been loyal and filial to me, and these are impeccable. .As the eldest son, he has already fulfilled the duty of the eldest son."

These few words of praise from the emperor made everyone present happy and worried.

When the First Prince heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.The corners of his lips curled up slightly, as expected, his father still valued him.

With all these compliments, the prince's position, the emperor's favorite candidate is himself?

Thinking that he was about to become the lord of the East Palace, the First Prince's heart jumped with joy.Even the hands covered in the cuffs trembled a little. What an exciting moment this is!
But the second and third princes on the side had completely different moods after hearing this.

Their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley, did the father recognize the eldest brother?Is the crown prince really going to be insulated from them?

Especially the second prince, his legs were a little weak.As long as he thought that he was born in the middle palace, but in the future he would have to make a living under the eldest brother who was born in a concubine, he felt that life was nothing to love.

Will the stepmother still be in charge of the harem in the future?A son who has been crowned king and rushed to the fiefdom, even if he is a queen, must be ridiculed.

How unbearable is the son-in-law?Otherwise, why did the emperor pass the position of prince to the concubine?
He still wanted to let his father see his ability, so his actions in Hejian Mansion were not too concealed.He wants to prove to his father that he is not a mediocre person.

It's a pity that he didn't get the treasure map in the end, but as far as he knew, the treasure map must already be in the hands of his father.Otherwise, how could Gu Chengyu be so safe after he came back?

He was a little discouraged, anyway, no matter how hard he tried, his father didn't see him in his eyes.

The officials of the eldest prince's lineage in the palace all showed big smiles, no wonder they couldn't hold their breath, this is the position of the prince!

When the First Prince ascends the throne in the future, those officials who started following the First Prince before he became the East Palace, still worry about a good future?
Just as the eldest prince was about to go out and be modest, the emperor spoke again.

"However, Zhao Xian is too ruthless. Although he does things decisively, he is merciless. If Dayan wants to expand its territory, then Zhao Xian is indeed suitable, but what Dayan needs now is to be successful. The second prince Zhao Dun Bing is pure and good, with a generous and benevolent disposition. If he becomes the emperor in the future, he will love the people and benefit the people of the world, so the second prince Zhao Dun is the best candidate for the crown prince."

The emperor closed his eyes slightly, then changed his voice, and said something unexpected.

The eldest prince was dumbfounded, he even suspected that he had heard wrong.Just now his father clearly praised him, why did he seem to hear his father say that the second younger brother is the best candidate for the crown prince after a while?

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind.

This is impossible, how could the candidate in the father's heart be the second child?He must have heard wrong.

The second prince really couldn't believe it, he watched his father's mouth open and close blankly.With a touch of lip service, the position of prince became his own?
He glanced at his father in surprise, and found that his father had a smile on his lips and looked at him softly.

He was a little dazed, as if he still didn't believe that the pie in the sky really fell on his head.
