This is the imperial decree of Li Chu.

Chen Ju held the imperial decree in both hands, respectful.

"The imperial edict said."

"Since the imperial edict came to the throne, all the military and state affairs have been important, and the personnel and administration have been great. Before they are tired and diligent, they dare not let themselves go. Xu Yinghong continued, day and night trembling, looking up to the ancestor Mo Liezhao Fou, entrusting him with the most important, and carrying on. Qing is in Yuanliang. The eldest son of the emperor, Ji Ku, is the first heir of the clan, and belongs to the will of heaven. I hereby abide by the first imperial edict, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion. The crown prince, is seated in the East Palace, with the ten thousand year rule and the heart of the world."

"I have been suffering from illness recently, thinking that there are all kinds of opportunities in a day, and I can't stay away for a long time. I order the crown prince to hold the seal and ascend the palace, divide the affairs of the general affairs, and manage the army to supervise the country. Everything that the hundred ministers play, will be decided by the crown prince."

"Decree the world, let the salty envoys hear about it."

After this edict, everyone in Changle Palace, including the four princes, was stunned!

Chapter 262 Big Doubt

After the decree came down, needles could be heard in Changle Palace.

Silent!

From the point of view of the content alone, this decree is both reasonable and unexpected for everyone.

It is reasonable because the royal family pays attention to establishing a heir and an elder. Chengde's original spouse died young, and he has no heir, which means that the eldest prince Ji Ku was originally the legal first-in-line heir. It seems reasonable for him to become the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty.

However, the Chengde emperor is no ordinary emperor!

He has long withstood the pressure of those civil servants and broke free from the shackles of the patriarchal system. If he wanted to establish a heir and a son, he could have established it more than ten years earlier.

It is because the eldest prince is useless and the emperor of Chengde looks down on him, that's why the position of the East Palace has been delayed until today!

The dispute over the country has dragged on until now, and even the eldest prince Ji Ku himself has given up the idea of ​​fighting for the crown prince, and has begun to indulge in sensuality these years, ignoring the court battles.

Even when Emperor Chengde was assassinated, this guy would hide as much as he could. As long as he wasn't supposed to show up, he would hide in Prince Qin's mansion and hang out with his lovely wife and concubine.

At this time, a great thing happened suddenly, and the chubby First Prince was stunned.

The other three princes were also dumbfounded.

The prime ministers of the three provinces, the hall officials of the six ministries, and the court officials of Jiuqing are all in a daze at this time.

They also gave up on the eldest prince early.

Only those pedantic literati kneeled and kowtowed, with tears in their eyes: "Your Majesty is wise!"

His Majesty's ability to establish a leader shows that they "fighted" to win this national battle!

Li Xin, who was standing in the last row, was also confused at this moment. The Emperor of Chengde was completely beyond his previous expectations.

Because he was in the last row, Li Xin could look up at Chengde Emperor unscrupulously.

At this time, his small eyes were full of great doubts.

This emperor, was stabbed stupid?

No one in the capital knows what kind of virtue the eldest prince has. For all these years, he has been playing with women except for playing with women. First, he has no foundation in the court, and second, he has no military support. He has the status of the eldest son of the emperor. Outside, it can be said to be useless.

Such a person sits on the crown prince...

Can you sit still?

Among the four princes, if any one of the other three princes takes the crown prince position, most of the other princes will put down their desire to fight for greatness, and the battle for the crown prince will be settled.

However, this eldest prince alone...

In other words, it is not enough for this fat pig to become the prince alone.

No prince would be convinced!

The emperor glanced at the group of officials indifferently, and said: "It is the ancestor's rule to establish a son and an elder. Now I abide by the ancestor's rule. What objections do you have?"

In the past, it was the ministers who carried the banner of ancestral rules to fight against the emperor. Even so, the emperor's side often had the upper hand. Now that today's emperor personally carries the banner of ancestral rules, who can bear it?

No one dared to talk too much.

All the officials knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Your Majesty is wise."

After these people kowtowed to the emperor, they kowtowed to Ji Ku who had just become the crown prince.

"Your Majesty waits to kowtow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The eldest son of the emperor, Ji Ku, who was a little bloated, turned his head with some difficulty at this time, and looked at the officials who were kneeling on the ground.

At this time, the little eyes of the eldest son of the emperor were also full of great doubts.

I... have become a prince?

Why……

He raised his hand in a daze: "You... get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The emperor glanced coldly at the three princes who were still standing, and said in a deep voice, "You still haven't kowtowed to the prince?"

The third prince, Ji Zhong, was sullen, but he still held it back.

The three princes all looked annoyed, but the matter had come to this point, and they had no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Ji Ku.

"Brother, wait, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and barely stood up from the dragon chair.

"Masters."

"Most of you have heard about the Beishan paddock. I was indeed stabbed and seriously injured, but due to state affairs, I have been unable to recuperate properly. Now that I have established a prince, I can let the prince supervise the country and rest in peace. gone."

"In the future, all political affairs in the court will be handed over to the East Palace, and the crown prince will discuss with the prime ministers. Do you think it is okay?"

At this time, of course no one dares to be the first bird.

But no one nodded in agreement, after all, today's grand meeting was too unexpected.

The gray-haired servant Zhong Huan Chu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, and went out of the class holding the court wat in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the position of the crown prince involves the country's foundation, so we should be cautious, and we should not be so hasty. I ask Your Majesty to withdraw this edict for the time being, and discuss it again!"

It took great courage for Huan Chu to stand up and say this.

Because this sentence will directly offend the prince, as long as the prince successfully succeeds to the throne, Huan Chu's best end is to be dismissed from office.
