The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 279
In Xianfu Palace, in the Buddhist hall, Concubine Duan was still beating on the wooden fish.

This is already the fourth day since the selection of the crown prince ended. Although the wooden fish is knocking on the wooden fish at this moment, Concubine Duan's heart is obviously not here.

She was waiting, waiting for the previous court to make waves.

Zhao Weilong and she have reached a cooperation, and one of the conditions is that the other party goes to the court and requests that Zhao Yanting and Zhao Yanxun be crowned princes.

As long as Zhao Weilong plays, Concubine Duan will be ready to use her strength to suppress Zhao Weiheng.

There is a problem here, making Zhao Yanxun the crown prince means confirming that he is dead.

Although Concubine Duan couldn't confirm it, but thinking of the horror of zombies and the fact that dozens of people were sent to search for it with no results, Concubine Duan herself felt that Zhao Yanxun's chance of survival was slim.

In this case, Concubine Duan felt that it was worthwhile to name her dead son a prince.

Thinking of Zhao Weiheng being suppressed and all the queen's hard work in vain, Concubine Duan felt extremely happy.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside, but it was Lingsu who walked over quickly.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, has already played the memorial, and more than a dozen other ministers jointly signed the memorial, please order to posthumously confer the titles of the two Highnesses as crown princes!"

The sound of the wooden fish stopped immediately, Concubine Duan took a deep breath and said, "Get ready, I want to see the emperor!"

"Yes!"

Ever since Concubine Duan was forced to interrogate Concubine Duan by the Emperor, the Emperor himself has never been to Xianfu Palace.

Concubine Duan knew that although the emperor was persuaded by him at the time, he still doubted her later.

So this matter is very complicated, and there is suspicion but no investigation, which in itself proves the special relationship between the emperor and Concubine Duan.

Today, Concubine Duan will take advantage of this feeling.

In Qian'an Palace, more than a dozen officials, including the emperor's eldest grandson, played the performance, which stirred up waves in Zhao Yongcheng's heart.

"Requesting to posthumously crown the fourth son and the younger nine as princes, what the hell is this?"

If Zhao Yongcheng, who was instigated by Concubine Duan, would understand these people, but this time it was Zhao Weilong, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Could it be that these two groups have teamed up?
It has to be said that Zhao Yongcheng has extremely high political acumen and easily guessed the possibility.

The election of the crown prince has ended, and the results of the election can only be used as a reference. Zhao Yongcheng himself still needs to know more about these juniors.

So in the past few days, Zhao Yongcheng has been investigating the past deeds of these juniors, and is preparing to take a face-to-face test in the next few days.

After the investigation of the two aspects is over, combined with the situation of the courtiers' election, Zhao Yongcheng can decide the candidate for the crown prince.

Inside the main hall, Zhao Yongcheng sighed and said: "The fourth son has been dead for many years, and it is a pity for me to posthumously make him the crown prince!"

Chen Changhe on the side listened and nodded immediately.

Master and servant for more than 30 years, Chen Changhe himself was a bystander or participant in all the experiences of Zhao Yongcheng after he became the emperor.

"But Xiao Jiu..."

Chasing after Zhao Yanxun made Zhao Yongcheng a little tangled, because he didn't want to believe that his son was dead.

What came to Zhao Yongcheng's mind at this moment was the situation that Zhao Yanxun personally refused to compete for the crown prince on that afternoon half a year ago.

At that time, the border was in a hurry, the state affairs were corrupt, and the courtiers were pressing hard. It was the time when Zhao Yongcheng was in a state of desperation.

Zhao Yanxun took the initiative to ask to leave, eliminating the big trouble for Zhao Yongcheng, so it was at that moment that he had special feelings for this son.

Besides, what makes Zhao Yongcheng pay more attention to Zhao Yanxun is the sacred aura that he carries.

If it hadn't been for him dreaming of an immortal, and if it hadn't been for his warning before leaving, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhao Yongcheng to react quickly when the zombies broke out.

In that case, the entire Dajin would perish.

In this way, although Zhao Yanxun is no longer around, he has saved Jiangshan Sheji twice in succession.

So at this moment in Zhao Yongcheng's heart, only Zhao Yanxun is really qualified to inherit this country.

So much so that at this moment, Zhao Yongcheng felt very regretful. If he had been tougher at the beginning and delayed the time to settle down, all problems would have been easily solved.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Duan is asking to see you outside!"

Hearing the report outside, Zhao Yongcheng was not surprised.

"Let her in!"

After a while, Concubine Duan came in from outside the hall, and then paid respects to the emperor.

"The concubine kowtows to the emperor!"

"Free gift!"

Immediately Concubine Duan got up and looked at the emperor in front of her.

At this moment, in her eyes, the emperor's temples were much grayer again, which made Concubine Duan's heart ache for no reason.

So Concubine Duan's tone became more gentle, and then she said: "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to rest and take care of your dragon body!"

Perhaps Zhao Yongcheng would feel heart-warming only when Concubine Duan said this. Others said that in his eyes, they all had "ulterior motives".

"What's the purpose of my concubine's coming here?" Zhao Yongcheng asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, my concubine heard that...someone came up to make the fourth and ninth crown princes!"

"That's right, it was the boss of the prince's family who started it!" Zhao Yongcheng said bluntly.

"What does the emperor think?"

"What's Aifei thinking?"

The conversation between the couple was rather tit-for-tat, which made Chen Changhe on the side very embarrassed.

"As their concubine mother, the concubine is naturally very willing!" Concubine Duan made no secret of her purpose.

"This makes me wonder, why would it be the descendants of the prince's family, and the fourth son and the ninth son will be named after the emperor!" Zhao Yongcheng asked back.

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the hall, which was a great test of Concubine Duan's resilience.

"Chenqie is the mother-in-law of the fourth and ninth child. They are gone. Ask them for a title. Of course, Chenqie is willing!"

So you are willing to cooperate with the former "enemy"... This is Zhao Yongcheng's imagination.

Only Zhao Yongcheng said in a cold tone: "The boss of the prince's family speaks for you, so if you come here today, you must also speak for him!"

In fact, these words are very heavy, and only Concubine Duan can take it calmly at this moment.

"Although courtiers and concubines have selfish intentions, they are more public-minded!"

Concubine Duan's words made Zhao Yongcheng laugh out loud: "Then tell me, what kind of public heart are you!"

Regarding this, Concubine Duan already had a draft before she came.

"Although the courtiers and concubines live in the deep palace, they have not disappeared from the inside and outside. Now that the country's affairs are difficult, it is even more dependent on the emperor. The emperor's eldest grandson is older, so he should be the heir. This is one of them!"

"As the emperor said, the concubine and the prince are in the same line of fire and water, but the eldest grandson of the emperor can give up his prejudice and turn to the concubine for help. It shows that he knows how to choose, knows how to advance and retreat, and has a heart. The second!"

"The grievances of the courtiers and concubines are deeply rooted, but the emperor's eldest grandson can persuade the courtiers and concubines to speak out for him, and he can also show his wisdom. This is the third!"

"The eldest grandson of the emperor is supported by all the officials, and his strengths are obvious to other princes and grandchildren. This is the fourth!"

Concubine Duan's words can be said to have expressed her thoughts unreservedly, although straightforward but true.

It has to be said that these words are extremely convincing, and she did not rely on favor to put pressure on the emperor.

Zhao Yongcheng is naturally convinced of the terms and conditions, which are well-founded.

"You are a woman, you know nothing about the political affairs of the previous dynasty, you are really a rooster in the morning, and your behavior is outrageous!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yongcheng said grimly: "Declaration, Concubine Duan is mad and disrespectful, and she will be confined to Xianfu Palace for January, and reflect on herself!"

Concubine Duan did not expect the sudden development of the matter to this point. At this moment, she was thinking about the countermeasures and the possibility of causing this disaster.

"Get out!"
