The system forced me to be emperor

At this time, His Majesty said again: "Since Li Aiqing proposed to establish a crown prince, among my several princes, who do you think is the most suitable?"

Li Mingchong really wanted to say it was His Highness King Xian, but would he dare?He absolutely dare not do this!

"Your Majesty, the candidate for the crown prince is the dictatorship of His Majesty's Sacred Heart, and I dare not overstep it!" Li Mingchong said hastily.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Li Aiqing! I just asked you to express your own opinion, you can speak up as much as you want, if you say something wrong, I forgive you for your innocence!"

"This..." Li Mingchong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that His Royal Highness King Xian, the emperor's seventh son, is filial, sincere, gentle and courteous, with a distinguished career and a gentle manner, so he can be the choice of the crown prince. "

Emperor Xia nodded and asked, "What about the others? Do you have any other opinions? Let me speak frankly, and I forgive you for not being guilty!"

When all the civil and military officials looked at each other, Cui Changwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness King Xian is talented in both civil and military affairs, and he is the candidate for the East Palace to succeed His Majesty's holiness!"

Immediately afterwards, Song Ci, Guo Ziyi and other officials who supported Xiao Rui came forward to speak out, praising Xiao Rui for his virtues, and that he was the candidate for the crown prince.

On the other hand, only a few officials who supported King Jin and King Wu remained silent.With so many officials speaking together, there is already a suspicion of forcing the palace. Could it be that the king of Xian thought that he would be able to force His Majesty because he thought he was sure of winning?

It's really overpowering!

These few officials wait for His Majesty to be furious!

but…

What happened next left the handful of officials dumbfounded.

Emperor Xia actually nodded his head and said: "Since you all love King Xian so highly, it must be what the people want! I am very pleased! I will think about it carefully."

"Yes!" The official who came out then retreated with his hands clasped.

And those few officials stood there blankly, feeling confused in the wind.

The early court ended, and all the officials withdrew from the court.

When leaving the palace, almost all the officials bid farewell to Xiao Rui, whether they supported him or not.The actions of the early court today and the signal sent by His Majesty have made these officials unable to maintain their previous indifference.

Xiao Rui returned the salute one by one, and when he watched everyone leave, he happened to see Xiao Lie and Xiao Ze who were slowly walking behind.

The two nodded as a greeting.

Xiao Rui smiled back.

The three of them got on their carriages and went back home, and drove in three directions, leading different lives.

When Xiao Rui returned to the mansion, he said to Jia Xu and Guo Jia: "The two gentlemen have made it difficult for me to hide it!"

Jia Xu stroked his beard with a smile and said, "I am deeply sorry, but if His Highness is informed of this matter in advance, His Highness will definitely not agree."

Xiao Rui nodded and said with emotion: "I'm not too cautious, I just feel that my strength is not enough."

Guo Jia reminded: "Your Highness, you are the crown prince first, not the emperor. Your highness' current connections and reputation can support you to enter the East Palace. But to become your majesty, strength is indeed not enough."

Xiao Rui was startled, and then he realized that his positioning was wrong!

If you want to grab the throne and imitate Li Shimin, then your own strength is indeed not enough. Although there are many civil servants and generals who support you, but you have no ability to win the throne, but are you grabbing the throne?

No!

I just want to be a prince!

It doesn't take so much power to be a prince!

Now my ability and qualifications are far superior to other princes, and I have proved that I am outstanding!

Moreover, this was originally His Majesty's idea. Since last year, His Majesty has appointed the prince to serve, isn't it just to let the princes compete and choose the prince?

Now win by yourself and come out on top!

Xiao Rui smiled awkwardly, patted his forehead, and said: "Mr. Wen He, Feng Xiao, it's me who is in trouble!"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu couldn't help laughing too.

At the same time, what happened in the morning spread quickly throughout the capital.

His Majesty is about to establish a crown prince...

King Xian is very likely to enter the East Palace...

These two pieces of news spread all over Kyoto in an instant, becoming the hottest topic at the moment.

Chapter 416: King Xian is the crown prince and enters the East Palace!

In the bright Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Xia looked at the blank imperial edict, quietly lost in thought.

Hai Dafu and Yan Xiaoxiao on the side kept their voices quiet and did not dare to disturb them.Hai Dafu was well aware of this moment, so he wasn't too surprised.But Yan Xiaoxiao's heart was pounding, full of excitement, joy, and joy.

Excitement and joy, because His Majesty has decided to make Xiao Rui the crown prince.As for the joy, it was Yan Xiaoxiao's own little thought.

To be a female official by myself can reach the age of 25, and there are still eight years left. Within eight years, if His Highness can sit on the throne, then I can serve His Highness.At the thought of being able to stay by His Highness's side, Yan Xiaoxiao was so excited, she wanted to jump up excitedly, she was happier than anything else.

"You all go down." Suddenly, Emperor Xia came back to his senses and said.

Hai Dafu and the others immediately obeyed the order and withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the huge hall, only Emperor Xia was left.

He flipped his hands over and spread out his palms, holding the lovesickness dice that Ye Qianlan personally made for him in his palms, and the sealed memories in his mind rolled out.

When Concubine Rong gave birth back then, due to the wrong fetal position, there was a dystocia. Emperor Xia stayed outside the palace, pacing back and forth, not caring about going to court or dealing with state affairs, only caring about Concubine Rong's safety.

Fortunately, with God's blessing, Concubine Rong gave birth to the little prince smoothly.

Looking at Ye Qianlan, whose face was pale on the bed, and her temples were wet with sweat, Huang Xia held her hand distressedly, and accompanied her to look at the newly born Xiao Rui beside the bed.

"As expected of my son, he is exactly like me!" At that time, Emperor Xia had already had six princes and four princesses, and he had not felt the joy of being a father for a long time. An unprecedented sense of satisfaction and happiness.

It seems that the previous prince was born because of political needs, but this child is because of responsibility.

Ye Qianlan looked at the baby whose facial features were crowded together, without even opening his eyes, couldn't help laughing and said, "How can you tell that your Majesty is exactly the same?"

Emperor Xia said happily: "He is your and my child, so of course he will inherit my appearance. Lan'er, I am so happy that you gave birth to the emperor for me, and I will make you a royal concubine! When he grows up in the future I will make him the crown prince!"

"No, absolutely not!" Ye Qianlan shook her head and refused.

Emperor Xia was taken aback for a moment, and asked: "Other concubines are eager for it, why are you still unwilling?"

Ye Qianlan looked at the little Xiao Rui, and said softly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the son-in-law has been established as the crown prince, and the second prince is the son of the queen. If you establish Ruier, how will you explain to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs?"

"My world, do you still need to look at their opinions?" At that time, Emperor Xia was decisive in killing and attacking, with a domineering look on his brows.
