Douluo Zhiming Empire

Chapter 159

In the afternoon, a group of ministers rushed to the main hall. At noon, Emperor Sun and Moon specially sent someone to inform the ministers that there was a meeting in the afternoon, and no one was allowed to be late.

Because of the willingness of the emperor, the morning meeting has not been held for more than a month. All the things are for the ministers to write the memorial and submit it. Today, a meeting is suddenly held. It must be something important. Now, this group How dare the ministers be late, one or two arrived at the gate of the palace early and waited.

Although not many people were notified by Emperor Sun Moon to attend this meeting, there were only a dozen of them, but the backgrounds of these dozen people were not ordinary, like the current crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran, the head of Mingde Hall, Mirror Hongchen, the national teacher of the Sun Moon Empire, Zhongli Wu, the head of the hall of worship, Kong Deming, several generals of the Sun Moon Empire who hold military power, and several ministers who hold financial power...
Without exception, these people are the mainstay of the entire country. It is no exaggeration to say that these people can represent the voice of the Sun Moon Empire, and the rest of the officials are just their trumpets.

Xu Tianran, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked outside. The ministers who were whispering in groups of two and two, Xu Tianran's eyes flashed with amusement, "Interesting, my father is in poor health these days. I thought he was recuperating, but who would have thought that he was still worrying about state affairs? Today, everyone was called over out of nowhere, what exactly is he trying to do."

Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, Emperor Sun and Moon specifically ordered Xu Tianran to enter the palace in a carriage.

"Juzi, tell me, what does my father want to do?" After thinking for a while to no avail, Xu Tianran turned to look at the woman sitting beside him, and asked curiously.

The girl next to him has long black hair and looks about seventeen or eight years old. It is one of the most beautiful times in a woman's life. She is full of girlishness. The skin that is carefully groomed on weekdays looks pink and tender. , looks like a peach blossom that just bloomed in early March, extremely attractive.

This person is Xu Tiannuo's cheap sister-in-law, Orange. Compared with three years ago, she has become more mature and attractive now.

Although, Orange repeatedly reminded herself that when staying with this person, she must not be distracted, she must not be distracted, but because of a certain man, she is still a little absent-minded.

After asking, but there was no response, Xu Tianran asked again, "Orange?"

"Ah, oh, oh, Your Highness." This time, Tangerine was overwhelmed in time, and apologized while responding in a panic, "Sorry, Your Highness, I was thinking about something just now, and my mind wandered for a while."

"Oh, is that so?" Seeing Orange's flustered expression, Xu Tianran was no longer in a hurry to ask the previous question, but asked thoughtfully, "I think you're so engrossed in thinking about it, so the question you're thinking about should be very interesting." It’s worth pondering, why don’t you share the problem with me and let me give you some advice.”

When Xu Tianran said this, his tone was extremely gentle. To outsiders, it seemed as if a caring big brother was chatting with his little sister. But it gave her a chill down her back.

Xu Tianran has become more and more narrow-minded since his physical disability. He has a perverted desire to control everything and absolutely does not allow anything beyond his control to appear.

Don't look at him looking gentle now, but Tangerine can pat his chest and promise that if he can't give him a satisfactory answer, he will definitely receive extremely severe punishment, or even be silenced by him directly.

The danger of working with Xu Tianran is absolutely no less than seeking skin with a tiger.

"Ahem," Juzi is also a deep-minded person, otherwise it would be impossible for Xu Tianran to value her so much. Seeing that Xu Tianran was a little unhappy, she rolled her eyes and immediately thought of a countermeasure, "Hehe, Your Highness, I Is there any question that I have to think about, it's just that I just saw the ministers outside and felt a little cold in my heart."

"Oh, how do you say that?" Xu Tianran looked at the orange thoughtfully, and asked curiously.

"Look, we've been busy for so long, but we've only managed to win over two people, the Commander of the Royal Guards and the National Teacher. These two people are indeed high and powerful in the court, but they are not inferior to them in power. People, it can even be said that there are many people, such as the hall master of the worship hall, the commander of the Northwest Army, General Lin, and Xu Tiannuo, who is in charge of border defense, these people are also high-ranking and powerful."

Orange expresses her own thoughts clearly. These days, she has also planned some things in the court, and it is appropriate to share it with Xu Tianran at this time.

"Seeing that His Majesty's body is getting worse day by day, no one knows when he... If we don't bring most of this group of people together before then, Your Highness will think A simple succession is probably a bit impossible."

"Just like the information we got, His Majesty is very considerate of His Highness's younger brother, Prince Tiannuo. Every time he sends a letter, he is extremely happy. How has His Majesty ever had such an attitude towards other princes? Let alone Said, the current enshrinement hall, but there is a faint intention to fall to him."

The palace, as the most center of power in a kingdom, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. No courtier would be so stupid as to not forget to plant his eyeliner in the palace to obtain first-hand information, unless his rank is not high enough.

Xu Tianran, as the crown prince on the face of the Sun Moon Empire, his status is definitely below one person and above ten thousand people. It is still easy to install a high-level spy in the palace.

It was precisely because of this that he also knew very well how kind Emperor Sun Moon was to his younger brother.

Xu Tianran's complexion darkened after listening to Ju Zi's words. He had already thought about these problems, so he hoped to quickly confirm his position when his father's health was getting worse. The position, in the final analysis, is just a vacancy. It can be removed at any time, and it has no real power.

But his father has been avoiding this issue on purpose. No matter what he said, Emperor Sun and Moon did not let go of the matter of setting up a regent.

As time went by, let alone a thorn in his heart, the group of forces that had fallen to him gradually became more vocal in private, and began to guess what the Sun and Moon Emperor was thinking. In my heart, would the more likable Xu Tiannuo be the best candidate for the throne?
Because of this matter, he has been annoyed for a long time, and now that he was pointed out by the orange, he just stopped pretending.

"Then tell me, what should I do," Xu Tianran looked coldly at the closed vermilion gate of the palace, with a little indifference in his voice.

"What should I do? I don't have any good solution at the moment." Juzi followed Xu Tianran's eyes, looked at the gate of the palace, and said meaningfully: "However, I have a few suggestions for your Highness's reference. .”

Seeing Ju Zi said that, Xu Tianran became interested, "Oh, what's the point, let's hear it."

After holding back slightly, Juzi talked about his proposal calmly, "This is what I think, since His Majesty has been hesitating between His Highness and Prince Tiannuo, then we might as well make this decision for His Majesty, and let His Majesty There is no other way but to choose His Highness."

Made this choice for the emperor?
After Xu Tianran heard this proposal, he bit his lips lightly. If it can be done, this is a good idea.

It's just that his father is very strict with his younger brother. As an elder brother, he can't understand clearly. Back then, the people around him did their best, and they still didn't complete this plan. Now, his younger brother also When I grow up, I'm thinking, how can it be so easy.

After a pause, Juzi continued, "However, since Your Majesty likes Prince Tiannuo so much, the guards around him must be extremely strict. It's not that easy to get him. We have to find another way."

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Xu Tianran looked at the orange deeply and asked thoughtfully.

After swallowing hard, Juzi said coldly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. Although Prince Tiannuo is a young hero, he is not without weaknesses. At least, when he was in Mingdu, he had a great reputation. Absolutely not good, we might as well start with that."

"Huh~~~" After taking a deep breath, Xu Tianran seemed to agree with the proposal, "My younger brother grew up in a woman's nest, and ordinary rouge and vulgar powder can't get into his eyes, and He is the most powerful genius in the history of our Sun-Moon Imperial Family, and even the Sun-Moon Empire, and ordinary women are not capable of assassinating him."

"I know," Orange said with a smile, "I also thought for a long time before I found a suitable candidate."

"Oh, you mean." Xu Tianran didn't expect Juzi to have already thought about it, so he hurriedly asked.

A strange light flashed in Orange's eyes, "A few years ago, the Church of the Holy Spirit got a saint. I have met that person. She is not only extremely talented, but also has a beautiful appearance. If she is allowed to perform this task, I think , Your Highness should be satisfied."

After the orange finished talking about her strategy, she stopped talking and gave Xu Tianran a quiet time to think. She was just a counselor. If she really wanted to make a decision, Xu Tianran had to come.

"Squeak..." With a sound, the vermilion palace door was opened, and it was time for His Majesty to invite the ministers to the council.

Looking at the deep palace, Xu Tianran only felt that his soul was trembling, and his breathing began to be a little difficult, "Mine, mine, you must be mine."

"Go back and inform the Holy Spirit Cult that I will have a state banquet tonight."

"Yes, Your Highness."
