Chapter 682 Establishing a Prince (1)
The emperor, Longyan Dayue, was furious in front of all civil and military officials. Not only did he severely reprimand Mr. Xu, and ordered him to be exiled for three thousand miles, but he also angrily reprimanded Mr. Anguo for his ineffective teaching of his son, making him think behind closed doors. , took advantage of the opportunity to seize the great seal of the governor of the right army of the governor's office of the five armies.

It's a pity that Mr. Xu's raising a concubine can only be said to be a loss of personal morality, and the amount of loan sharks was not large and no one was killed. The emperor can't use this to confiscate the family of Duke Anguo, otherwise Duke Anguo will not only It's so easy to think about it behind closed doors after being robbed of the seal of the governor.

An Guogong and Empress Xu in the palace had to avoid the sharp edge for the time being. One was contemplating behind closed doors at home, and the other was sick in the palace.

After more than ten days like this, Du Peiyun, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, suddenly went to Zhezi to ask for the appointment of the prince, but the one who asked for the appointment was not the eldest prince, but King Ning, who said that King Ning had handled political affairs in recent years with the style of the emperor when he was young The most important thing is that King Ning returned to the house with a benevolent heart, respecting the virtuous and corporal, and he should "enter the East Palace to rectify the country".

No one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Du Peiyun, the young minister of Honglu Temple, was a member of Duke Anguo. It could even be said that he was cultivated and promoted by Duke Anguo alone. It is no less difficult than ascending to the sky if he wants to get to his status as Xiao Jiuqing today.

So when he held the tooth wat in his hand and said the words of asking Lining King to be the crown prince in front of civil and military officials at the court meeting, everyone was shocked, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears, and Du Peiyun was the brain. Is it broken? Even if he wants to invite the crown prince, he should also invite the eldest prince. Why do he invite King Ning instead?
But no one who can stand in the main hall of Qianyuan Hall is really stupid, not to mention Qianyuan Hall, who can't even step into the palace gate, and only glances at the throne. In fact, the emperor, who clearly had a look of satisfaction across his eyes, understood everything.

At that moment, He Zhao, the Duke of Chang, stood up and said loudly: "I think what Lord Du said is very true. I second the proposal, and ask the emperor to judge!"

As the backbone of King Ning's party, He Zhao stood up, and immediately attracted no less than a dozen officials to stand up as well: "Your ministers and others seconded the proposal, please ask the emperor to judge!"

Even the other young minister of Guanglu Temple who was the backbone of the eldest prince's party like Du Peiyun also stood up and seconded Du Peiyun's words.

The rest of the supporters of the eldest prince have long been confused by this sudden change, but there are still two or three who are clear-headed and want to stand up to oppose it. It is obvious that Du Peiyun has become a traitor and has secretly voted for King Ning. After submitting to the emperor, they just wanted to be traitors, and now they have no chance. The only way out is to carry on to the end, and maybe they can get a good reputation of "rather die than submit" or "honest ministers".

But in the end, people are soft-spoken. The key point is that An Guogong is now punished behind closed doors. He is not in the court, and he does not know what will happen in the future. The eldest prince is not the eldest prince, their thin arms can now twist through the emperor's thigh?
Everyone had no choice, the only thing they could do was to keep silent and not follow the crowd to second Du Peiyun's words.

Sitting on the throne, the emperor condescended to take a panoramic view of the reactions of civil and military officials, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched a smug smile. He had never heard of being an emperor, and he had things he wanted to do but couldn't do. What happened, his good queen and good uncle wanted to clean up Wan Qi, his current cowardly emperor, and they really blinded them!

The emperor pondered and said: "I have also seen the performance of King Ning in the past two years. He is indeed worthy of being the crown prince of a country. Since this is the case, the Department of Pedestrians will draw up an order to confer the title of Prince Ning on the same day, and the Ministry of Rites is preparing to confer the title ceremony, and another decree to amnesty the world!"

King Ning knew about today's events in advance, and now that his long-cherished wish for many years has finally come true, in the future, the great and beautiful rivers and mountains of Dazhou will truly belong to him, and he will not be afraid of those hateful people who will slander his mother and son. You don't have to be angry and anxious anymore, you can imagine how happy and proud you are in your heart.

But it is unavoidable to stand up and say to yourself, "Fu Xiaode is not good, and he is young, and his father is in his prime. It is too early to talk about it now. Please take it back." After repeated pleadings from the officials and the insistence from the emperor, Fang accepted with a face full of shame, accepted the worship of civil and military officials, and officially became the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the owner of the Eastern Palace!
The emperor smiled and watched Aizi accept the congratulations from civil and military officials, and he had already thought about it. Now that the country has finally been settled, it is time to clear away all dissidents and obstacles for Aizi. Naturally, the first to be cleared is Xu Clan.

Originally, it was because of the exclusive doting on Concubine Luo Guifei for more than ten years, and the incident of framing the eldest son the year before last. Speaking of which, this matter is really disgraceful and impersonal. When I am plotting against another son for the sake of one son, I don’t care How many difficulties he has, how much he has to do, and how much he doesn't like another son, after all, it hurts the harmony between father and son.

So the emperor planned earlier that as long as Empress Xu and Xu's family kept their own place, he would tolerate them.

This is a big taboo for the emperor and the high-ranking person. It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even looking at it from time to time makes me feel apprehensive. Wasn't the ancestor of the Murong family also a powerful minister in the previous dynasty?How do you know that now that the Murong family is in power, their subordinates don't have the intention to follow suit?
The best way is to suppress them early on, and at the same time promote new aristocratic families. In fact, a surname is not much different from a dynasty. The replacement of the old and the new is a constant law, and it must be suppressed. One, the other can stand up, and the seat of the superior can be made more stable.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but secretly regret for his previous soft-heartedness. Fortunately, now that the queen and An Guogong gave him such a blow, he woke up in time. Blame yourself for being exhausted!

There must always be enough time for King Ning's decree to be formally established as the crown prince to spread through the palace gates and become known to the world. After talking, the other side will know what should be known.

Naturally, the happiest thing is Concubine Luo Gui. Her son has finally become the owner of the Eastern Palace and the heir apparent of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Who dares to question their mother and son and pour dirty water on them in the future!And brother Yuan, she is sure that the emperor will not move him during her lifetime, and if she says something she shouldn't have said, as long as he can survive until the funeral of the emperor Long Yu, his life will be really easy in the future!
