After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

In the court, the emperor of Xiliang Kingdom appeared in the court looking lonely and sad.

All the ministers knelt down and shouted long live. After performing the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, they returned to their original positions one by one.

The deacon's eunuch loudly said to the civil and military officials from above:

"My dear ministers, your Majesty is in ill health today. If you have anything to do, please hurry up. If nothing happens, please leave the court as soon as possible."

As soon as the deacon and eunuch finished speaking, Prime Minister Wang, who was first in line, came forward and said:

"Your Majesty, I have my own instructions."

Ever since the prince's accident, the emperor's whole body seemed to have been drained out in the past few days. He raised his head feebly and said to the prime minister:

"Prime Minister Wang, since the prince was killed, my physical condition has been declining day by day. I really can't hold on for long in the court. If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly, my body can't bear it anymore. "

Prime Minister Wang took a step forward, saluted the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty expresses condolences. I know that the prince has passed away. Your Majesty is deeply grieved. But the deceased has passed away. Your Majesty cannot remain immersed in this kind of pain. He cannot extricate himself from this kind of pain. If he continues to be depressed like this, the government will be abandoned. This is really true. This is not a blessing to the people of Xiliang. Since the emperor is not in good health, it is better to appoint a prince as soon as possible so that he can take care of the emperor's worries."

The emperor raised his head feebly, looked at Prime Minister Wang below and said:

"The reason why I have never established a prince is because I thought that I was in my prime and could still sit on this dragon throne for a few years. I didn't expect that my son was killed by a thief. I am just a prince. Wouldn't this kill me? His half-life is gone. The matter of establishing a prince should be put on the agenda. All the ministers should discuss how to establish a prince, otherwise even I will be worried about where my kingdom of thousands of miles will go in the future."

The emperor had just finished speaking when the emperor's half-brother, King Jingshan, raised his hands to the emperor and said:

"The emperor is too worried, how could you say this. The emperor's nephew has met with misfortune. Not only is the emperor grieved, we are even more sad for you. But now that the unfortunate thing has happened, it is useless for everyone to be sad. From now on, My son is your son, this nephew is almost the same as a son, aren’t you very good to Zong Lin, then just treat him as your son.”

At this time, Prime Minister Wang also came forward and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, what the old prince said is correct. Since the Emperor is in poor health, he should be appointed a prince earlier so that he can relieve the Emperor's worries and take on the important affairs of the country. In this way, the Emperor can also take good care of his health. , and it’s just time to take care of yourself.”

After Prime Minister Wang finished speaking, several officials came forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right. It is still necessary to establish the Crown Prince as soon as possible. Since His Highness has passed away, the best candidate for the Crown Prince should be Zhang Zonglin, his nephew. I agree with the Prime Minister's proposal. Zhang Zonglin should be the one. The perfect choice for the crown prince."

King Jingshan stood aside, holding his beard in his hand, listening to the speeches of the ministers, and nodding frequently.

Seeing that more and more people agreed to make his son Zhang Zonglin the crown prince, he could not restrain the joy in his heart and said to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne;

"Your Majesty, why are we brothers? At this time, it is up to them, your nephews, to step forward and share your worries. Why not follow the advice of the ministers and make my son the prince. Zong Lin's ability, everyone It is obvious to all. When he first took command, he achieved great success by occupying five cities in the Xuanwu Dynasty. Considering his ability, he will be more than enough to take over your throne in the future. You were appointed as the crown prince by your father. At that time, I raised my hands and agreed. Now that things have changed, the throne should be passed on to my son. I don’t know if the emperor has any plans to oppose the prince. "

These words of King Jingshan completely angered Mr. Yan, the censor on the side.He took a step forward and said to him:

"King Jingshan, Prime Minister Wang, I also have something to say."

King Jingshan looked at him with disdain, snorted and said:

"Yan Yushi, is there anything wrong with what Prime Minister Wang and I said? Now that Zong Gui has passed away, apart from my son Zong Lin, I really can't think of anyone who is qualified to inherit the throne."

Yan Yushi said:

"Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Although His Highness the Prince has encountered misfortune, it does not mean that there will be no heir to the throne. I agree with the appointment of Princess Mo Yue as the Crown Princess. She is the Emperor's biological daughter and has been with Yu Shinan since she was a child. Mr. Xian's disciple. In terms of blood relationship, she is the true direct descendant of the emperor. In terms of abilities and talents, the princess is also outstanding. I believe that if she is made the crown princess, no one in Xiliang will raise the issue. Objection. It is better to change the name than to move out the nephews and nephews of the side branch. I hope everyone will think twice about my suggestion. In addition, I must thoroughly investigate the murder of His Highness. Anyone who dares to murder the crown prince of Xiliang must be punished. We must capture him and use his head to commemorate His Highness who died innocently and tragically, so that he can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

Just as Yan Yushi finished speaking, several ministers stood up and echoed:

"We also agree with Yan Yushi's proposal. Her Royal Highness the Princess is the heir to the throne. This throne has not yet passed to my nephew. We agree to make Princess Moyue the Crown Princess, and she will inherit the great treasure and be ours in the future. emperor."

When King Jingshan saw someone standing up, he denied making his son the crown prince.He could no longer hold his breath, and his fat body suddenly jumped in front of Yushi, and angrily yelled at Yushi Yan:

"Yan Yushi, you are also a well-read person who has been through ancient and modern times. In our history of Xiliang, have you ever seen the appearance of a female emperor? Your remarks really overturned my understanding of you. Yes. Since ancient times, it has been a matter of course for men to inherit the throne. In which dynasties and generations it was a woman's turn to be the emperor? You can still think of the word "Crown Princess". It is really nonsense. I think your proposal is even The emperor will not agree to it."
