Da Suining

Meitong's blood boiled when he heard it below.

Good guy.

As expected, this group of veterans was still reliable. As soon as they contacted them, they put pressure on the emperor. They were worthy of giving them so much gold and silver, and granted them many positions. They even helped their descendants.

"Mei Tong, do you think the first prince, Guo Cong, is a suitable candidate for the crown prince?" The emperor looked at Mei Tong.

Mei Tong couldn't wait to express his loyalty to Guo Cong.

"Returning to the emperor, I feel that what the ministers said is very true. The eldest prince Guo Cong has a noble character and is a suitable candidate for the crown prince."

The emperor seemed to ponder for a moment.

I haven't spoken for a long time.

These ministers in the court are all supporting him, and now they are thinking about establishing a prince again.

"Xiang Daying, what do you think? Who is the right candidate for the crown prince?"

Xiang Daying stood in the corner, afraid of being seen by the emperor.

When word spread that the crown prince was in court, he felt that it was not good.

Unexpectedly, the emperor slipped him out.

There is no escape.

"I think the emperor is young and strong, so there is no need to rush."

The emperor asked Xiang Guoxin again: "Do you think your father is right? Or Uncle Mighty?"

The emperor on the six steps looked at these courtiers with a cold face.

Xiang Guoxin thought of the chat with Xiang Suining.

He once asked Xiang Suining how to judge the emperor's mind.

Xiang Suining told him, one thing to ask the ministers to say first, don't take the lead if the emperor doesn't ask.Second, if the emperor keeps asking, it means that he didn't get the answer he wanted.

A group of ministers recommended Guo Cong, the emperor also asked Mei Tong, and now he asked Xiang Guoxin, the emperor's thoughts were obvious.

Xiangguo said neither humble nor overbearing: "Establishing a crown prince is a state matter, and it is also the emperor's family matter, the emperor should decide."

It's like not answering.

Mei Tong and others were obviously a little disappointed.

I thought Xiang Guoxin, the son-in-law, would stand up for Guo Cong, but unexpectedly he was neutral.

This useless son-in-law.

Civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were all waiting for the emperor to speak.

The sunlight in Zhengen Hall gradually brightened.

The morning has not been scattered.

Guo Cong didn't even dare to show his air.

A beam of sunlight shines on Guo Cong through the dragon-patterned grid on the window sill. Guo Cong stands in the light and shadow. His chest heaves violently. He has been secretly watching the emperor's face. It seems that the next moment, he is the only one. The prince above ten thousand people.

"Cong'er, so many people have asked you to be the crown prince, what do you think?"

Guo Cong knelt down on the ground, his legs were sore, the emperor finally asked him.

He pretended to be modest, kowtowed on the ground and said: "I know that I have little talent and little learning. My father is also a man of great wisdom and martial arts. My son volunteered to learn a lot from my father and help my father to create the foundation of the country forever. Dare to expect to be the prince of the current dynasty, and please ask the father not to embarrass the sons and ministers. As for those veteran ministers who have asked the sons to be appointed, such as Master Liu, Master Su, etc., they guessed the emperor's mind without discussing with the ministers in advance. When discussing the establishment of a crown prince, my ministers thought that the emperor would punish them, so as to serve as a warning to others."

I am special.

Lord Liu and Lord Su stared sideways at Guo Cong, scolding him over and over in their hearts.

When you invited us to the mansion, you were both soft and hard. Let us invite you to be the crown prince.

Good guy, we invite you to be the crown prince. When you said such things in the court, you said how pure-hearted and ascetic you were, and you sold the person who invited you to be the crown prince.

You are really standing up and down.

People care that you are full of food, but you smashed their pot.

Outrageous.

The emperor is also true, the child born is either a flower or a scum.

Mr. Liu and Mr. Su hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I also have my own difficulties. I set up the crown prince as the foundation of the country. I am worried about the foundation of the country, so I made irresponsible remarks on the government. Please forgive me."

Everyone knelt down neatly.

The emperor was silent for a long time before making a gesture to get up.

After a while, the emperor said that he had a headache and went down.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

The emperor opened his mouth to make people discuss the prince, but now he has not given an explanation.

down toward.

Mei Tong and Guo Cong walked ahead.

"I see that the emperor is still not very satisfied with me. If he was willing, he would agree to appoint me in the court today, but he didn't." Guo Cong was a little disappointed.

"What are you afraid of, with me and Xiang's family here, which prince can compete for your limelight? Even if you don't stand in the court today, you will stand up later."

Sure enough, after lunch, the eunuch in the palace went to pass on Guo Cong.

Guo Cong quickly changed his clothes, and almost jogged towards the side hall of Zhengen Hall.

Red walls and green tiles, the palace courtyard is deep.

His beating heart was almost coming out of his mouth.

He waited for a long time, perhaps, just this time.

The emperor stood there, and his concubine waited on him to change his clothes.

It was replaced by a new robe.

In Nuo Da's side hall, the shadow of the emperor is a bit lonely.

The emperor's bright yellow Panlong uniform propped up on the hanger looks majestic and solemn.

The emperor stood in the reflection of the wide-sleeved uniform, and the reflection had an aura of calmness and prestige.

Guo Cong quickly knelt down.

The emperor asked everyone to go down, and he went to sit behind Nanmu's long case.

"Tell me, do you want to be a prince so much?" The emperor's voice was cold and condescending, his eyes stared at Guo Cong's eyes so sharply that Guo Cong didn't dare to lift his head, and folded his hands On the ground, trembling constantly.

"My son, I never said that I want to be the crown prince, I just want to share my father's worries."

"Hehe, share your worries. You don't even dare to admit your own ambitions, how can you share my worries?"

This sentence stopped Guo Cong.

"I remember that when your mother and concubine were alive, they colluded with each other for your position as the crown prince. Now that your mother and concubine are dead, these people still stand up to protect you. What benefits have you given them?"

"My son... my son doesn't have any."

"Hehe, it will be great when your ambition is matched with your courage. If it weren't for your mediation, then these courtiers would unanimously want to protect you as the crown prince? What virtue and ability do you have?"

"My son..." Guo Cong also seemed very aggrieved and a little excited: "My son is dedicated to the good of Xuan Guo."

"Do you think I'm dead?"

"My son doesn't dare."

"Those courtiers are holding my salary and doing errands for me. You coerce and lure them in private. Don't you want to sit in my position? You and Mr. Liu and Mr. Su are working in the mighty uncle's mansion. Have you ever released me?" In the eyes?"

Guo Cong was startled.

It is just a few of their close ministers who are looking for work in the mighty uncle's mansion.

The emperor actually knew.

"It turns out...the emperor has been sending people to monitor me. In the eyes of the emperor, am I so untrusted?"

"I didn't send anyone to watch you."

"Father is clear!"

"Look for yourself." The emperor threw down a few notes.

The handwriting on it clearly belonged to Master Liu and Master Su.

Opening the booklet made Guo Cong stunned on the spot.

Liu and Su wrote in the notebook that Guo Cong called them to Weiwubo's mansion.

He also said that the two of them couldn't help themselves, and they were afraid that if they didn't respect the eldest prince, the eldest prince would be unhappy.He couldn't betray the emperor, so he first wrote a note to the emperor, and the above explained the reason, and then recommended the eldest prince in the court.

It was a good show.

Fortunately, those two people were still filled with righteous indignation in the court, and they spoke so much for Xuan Guo's sake.

Guo Cong's strategy was exposed by the emperor on the spot, and he wished he could kill Liu and Su immediately.

The emperor only said indifferently: "Liu and Su, you think they can be reused, but in the end, they are just standing on the wall to watch the fun. You see, people's abilities are far behind."

"Father..."

"Tomorrow morning, I will dismiss Liu Su and Liu Su by discussing the crown prince's affairs. They have been in the court for a long time, and they should go back to their hometown to rest. As for you..." The emperor pondered for a while: "Go and guard the mausoleum for your mother and concubine for three years."

I have never heard of any prince who is going to guard the mausoleum for his mother and concubine.After three years of guarding the mausoleum, Guo Cong was almost banned from his rights.

For the ever-changing court, three years is enough to abolish him.

Not reconciled, he crawled to the emperor's feet and cried in excruciating pain: "Father, I know I was wrong. I want to be the crown prince, but I just want Xuan Guo to last forever. I just want to be an outstanding father!" My son, I don't have the slightest bit of malice."

"There is no malice." The emperor sneered: "You can take the life of your mother and concubine with your own hands. To you, I am just a decoration. If you take a step forward, you will kill me. What will you do then?" Prince, you will be the emperor directly."

"Father..." Guo Cong continued to argue more and more, but Guo Zhengchan didn't want to listen any more: "Go and call Imperial Physician Lu to give me an injection, I have a terrible headache."

The little eunuch hurriedly went to the imperial hospital to invite Lu Yu.

When Lu Yushan entered the Zhengen Hall, Guo Cong just got up from the ground.

His wide hem was dragging weakly on the ground. It was a new gold embroidered python garment. It hung so weakly that Guo Cong was powerless, like a marionette whose rope was broken by someone.

"I don't dare to be disobedient, and I don't dare to disobey, but my father...wouldn't believe it." Guo Cong seemed to be sleepwalking, walking with deep steps and shallow steps.

A few days ago, he was still proud of the spring breeze, thinking that Liu Su and others would escort him all the way to become the prince.

When Guo Zhengchan dies when he becomes the crown prince, the world will be his.

Looking at it now, it's really ridiculous.

Not to mention that he couldn't see Xuan Guo clearly, he couldn't even see people clearly.

Holding on to the palace wall, he felt cold all over his body, his fingers almost stuck into the wall: "Why do you treat me like this, since I was a child, I have already done what you want, why do you treat me like this?"

The arrival of Lu Yu brought the emperor a temporary peace.

He lay down on the soft chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lu Yu opened the medicine box and took out all the needles he needed as usual.

"Your Majesty, you should worry less, otherwise the disease will never be eradicated." Lu Yu stabbed the sharp needle into the top of Guo Zhengchan's head.

Guo Zhengchan closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Lu Yu carefully parted the emperor's bun, and inserted the silver tips one by one.

This time, the emperor seemed extremely tired, so Lu Yu gave him an injection, but he didn't move at all.

Lu Yu found that there were three spinners on the top of the emperor's head.

Ordinary people have one spinner, occasionally there are two spinners, and there are very few people with three spinners on their heads.

The emperor is really different.

Lu Yu inserted silver needles all over the emperor's head, and went to get a hot towel to apply to the emperor's face.

"Just now you stared at my head, did you see anything different?" the emperor asked.

In front of the emperor is a bronze mirror.

Lu Yucai discovered that Guo Zhengchan seemed to close his eyes every time he applied the needles, but in fact, he could see Lu Yu's every move through the bronze mirror as long as he opened his eyes.

The emperor is very alert.

Lu Yu could only tell the truth: "I saw three spinners on the emperor's head, so... I was a little surprised."

"I haven't seen it on other people's heads."

Lu Yu nodded.

It was the first time he saw the three of them.

"This has been passed down from generation to generation in our Guo family." The emperor's face softened a little: "Whether it's our father, the first emperor, or me, my children, as long as they are males in the family, there is no exception. , there are three spinners on the top of the head. Among the folks, I have never seen three spinners."

Before the eyes of the emperor, the face of the late emperor's son Guo Lan appeared.That small face was tender and round, and there were three spinners on the top of Guo Lan's head. It was when Guo Lan was full moon, he went to see him in the palace, and that was the only time he saw him.

Lu Yu finished administering the injection to the emperor, just in time for dinner.

The little eunuch came to pass the meal, but the emperor had no appetite.

"The emperor is restless, so he doesn't want to eat, but he still wants to open some, and he should eat or have to eat."

Guo Zhengchan was very satisfied with Lu Yu's truth.

You must know that the former imperial physician never dared to say that he was restless, but only said that his spleen and stomach were not in harmony.

"You can have dinner with me."

Lu Yu was a little panicked.

You must know that the prince who is in the palace may not have the opportunity to get the emperor's invitation.What's more, a mere imperial doctor, Lu Yu's father has been walking in the palace for many years, and he has become an old imperial doctor, so he has no chance to eat at the same table with the emperor.

Lu Yu also didn't understand the rules of dining in the palace.

The emperor asked to eat together, so let's eat together.

Roast duck, both of them thought it was greasy, so they didn’t eat it, one of them ate a big piece of roast suckling pig, and the other drank a bowl of chicken soup, lotus root slices. He also drank three glasses of wine.

The emperor ate very relaxedly.

Lu Yu also ate very relaxed.

"It's okay to eat with you, unlike them, when I eat with them, they always tell me, the ancestor's rules, don't eat too much of this, don't eat too much of that, this is cold, that is hot, very long-winded. Let's drink wine today I also drank it, really happy. I never had such a good time in Chenghuan Palace."

Chenghuan Hall.

The emperor still thought of Concubine Mei Gui, and he was a little drunk, or maybe he was not drunk yet, but he was just speaking the truth while drunk.

"Tell me, if I punish Cong'er to guard the mausoleum for his mother and concubine, will he hate me?" The emperor murmured, "I didn't mean to punish him. His ambition will eventually kill him. I have no choice but to punish him." Grind his temper, let him understand that the good things in the world are not easy to get, you have to wait, some people wait for a lifetime, and may not be able to get it, the love in my heart."

It was not easy for Lu Yu to interrupt.

This is government affairs and the emperor's family affairs.

"It's fine to go and guard the mausoleum for his mother." The emperor leaned on the table and poured another glass of wine.

Lu Yu drank wine with the emperor, and prescribed a prescription for sobering up, and asked the little eunuch to boil the sobering soup for Qingtan. After the emperor drank the sobering soup, Lu Yu left.

The emperor was lying on the bed, but he held Lu Yu's hand and refused to let go: "Cong'er, wait a minute, wait a moment, it's still snowing outside, you wait a moment before leaving."
