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

The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, looking at both of them with cold eyes, fighting over the matter of establishing a prince.

At this time, Yu Shinan, who had been silent among the civil and military officials, saw that both sides were insisting on their words and refused to give in to each other.

He walked out of the train, took a few steps forward, and said to the emperor sitting on it:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, Yu Shinan."

The emperor, who was leaning on the dragon bed and listening to their argument, heard Yu Shinan speak. He slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, looked at him in front of him and said:

"Master Yu, don't you think they are noisy enough? You are here to join in the fun and tell me your opinion. Do you agree to make Zhang Zonglin the prince or Moyue the princess? You can also tell me. Now that we have had a good conversation, everyone can speak freely and express their opinions. Please tell me who you want to be the crown prince. I would really like to hear your opinion, old master."

Yu Shinan raised his head and looked at the emperor in front of him. He knew how much the emperor had dealt a blow to him after losing his only son. As the king of a country, he could not escape the impermanence of the world.

He knew what it meant to a father to lose a son in middle age. It was a psychological wound in his heart that could never be healed.But now he has to face a more severe reality, the throne, and he must cooperate with the emperor to finish the scene. He said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of establishing a crown prince, the old minister has been listening for a long time. Although Princess Mo Yue studied under me, when faced with such a major matter as establishing a crown prince, I still prefer Prime Minister Wang's proposal. Establishing a crown prince is the foundation of the country. It is the cornerstone of the country and cannot be sloppy at all. And with His Majesty's current mood, he is immersed in the pain of losing his son and cannot get out of it for a while. It is better to follow the Prime Minister's suggestion and establish a prince as soon as possible so as to make plans for the future. .”

The emperor, who had been listless, listened to Yu Shinan's words and said to him:

"So, Master Yu also thinks that now is the time to establish a crown prince?"

Yu Shinan looked at Prime Minister Wang, who seemed to understand what he meant. He winked at the people behind him, and everyone stepped forward to follow Yu Shinan, saying in unison:

"Your Majesty, Master Yu is right. Please confirm the candidate for the crown prince as soon as possible, so as to calm people's hearts."

The emperor sighed and said:

"Come on, come on, come on, don't force me. Since you all agree to make Zhang Zonglin the crown prince, I will follow your heart. I immediately issued an order to make Zhang Zonglin the crown prince and asked him to return to the capital as soon as possible. Accept the crown prince’s gift.”

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, King Jingshan could not hold back the joy in his heart.He never had the destiny to be emperor in his life, but he didn't expect that his son would realize it.He faced the emperor and shouted, "Long live the mountain" to thank him.

When Yan Yushi met the emperor, he happily accepted Prime Minister Wang's suggestion to make Yang Zonglin the crown prince.

Prime Minister Wang and King Jingshan looked at them with satisfied smiles on their faces.What he didn't expect was that as Princess Moyue's teacher, Yu Shinan, instead of speaking for the princess, was the first to stand up and agree with Prime Minister Wang's proposal.

It was his words that made the emperor make up his mind to make Zhang Zonglin the crown prince.

He walked forward and said sarcastically to Yu Shinan:

"I didn't expect that the old master has also learned to play both sides, and is so sophisticated and tactful. The skill of holding the thigh is really good. Yan has to admire it. It seems that I have to learn from you, the old master."

The emperor listened to Yan Yushi's mocking words of Yu Shinan from above, and said to him:

"Yan Yushi, since everyone agrees to make Zhang Zonglin the crown prince and I have agreed to their request, you should stop disturbing people's hearts. I will immediately draw up a decree to make Zhang Zonglin the crown prince. I will order you to go to the border to issue the decree. Are you willing?"

Although Yan Yushi advocated Princess Moyue as the crown prince, the emperor agreed, so he had no choice but to be angry and said to the emperor:

"Since His Majesty has ordered your officials to go there, there is reason to disobey the order. However, the murderer of His Majesty the Prince has not yet been arrested and brought to justice. Your Majesty does not need to rush to establish a heir apparent now. Please think twice."

The emperor looked decadent and said to him:

"It seems that Prime Minister Wang and King Jingshan are eager to let me give up the throne and rest. If I don't agree, it will make them think that I am selfish. Since the position of crown prince will be established sooner or later, it should be sooner rather than later. Yan Yushi will go to the border for me and ask Marshal Zhang Zonglin to return to the capital immediately and accept the title of Crown Prince."

Yan Yushi could not refuse the emperor's order, so the next day he led a team of troops assigned to him by the emperor and headed towards the border.

Jiang Chen was a member of this group. After walking for more than a day, he finally arrived at the border.

Zhang Zonglin had known for a long time that the emperor's decree was coming, and the day he had been waiting for for a long time was finally coming.

When King Jingshan was in the court, he confirmed that the emperor wanted to make his son the prince.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he wrote a letter to his son and couldn't wait to send someone to send the news to his son at the border.

Zhang Zonglin's heart was so excited that it was about to beat out of his heart.He was glad that he made the right decision this time.

If he hadn't fought against the odds, he would have taken advantage of his mission to the Xuanwu Dynasty to get rid of Zhang Zonggui.

There was no chance that he would be crowned a prince today, but he did not expect that the imperial edict would reach the border so quickly.

When Jiang Chen turned into a guard and followed Yan Yushi and his entourage to the outside of the border camp, he saw a man of about 30 years old. Under the protection of all the soldiers, the formation was as majestic as the emperor going out.You don't need to ask to know that that person is the Marshal Zhang Zonglin who holds military power.

Jiang Chen looked at this man coldly from the side, thinking about the hysterical and brutal look on his face when he shot the prince that night, and the righteous face he saw now, forming a strong contrast.

When Yan Yushi took out the imperial edict from his arms, he unfolded it and read loudly to him:

"According to the emperor's edict, Zhang Zonglin accepted the imperial edict."

Seeing that the imperial edict was about to be read out, Zhang Zonglin swung his saddle and kicked off his horse, then knelt down in front of Yan Yushi and said:

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zonglin accepts the order."

After saying that, Zhang Zonglin and the people behind him knelt aside.

"The Emperor has issued an edict saying that after deliberation among the courtiers, Zhang Zonglin has been adopted into my lap and given the title of Crown Prince. I hope you will get up immediately and follow Yan Yushi back to Beijing to report on your duties. I hereby express my gratitude."

After Yan Yushi read it out, he handed the imperial edict to Zhang Zonglin, then congratulated him with respectful hands and said:

"Congratulations, General. From now on, you will be the Crown Prince, who is above one person and above ten thousand people. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. But now, there is no clue about the murder of His Royal Highness, and we don't know when the murderer will be caught and brought to justice. So. Although the fact that the general is established as a prince is not suitable for grand celebration, it is still necessary for the prince to return to the capital and hold a ceremony for the emperor and the civil and military ministers."

Zhang Zonglin took the imperial edict in his hand, thanked the emperor for his kindness, stood up and said to him:

"I heard that Mr. Yan has his own opinions on establishing the crown prince. I want to know why you think that Princess Moyue will definitely be better than me. Do you still think that she is more suitable? Be the Crown Princess. Just because she is the Emperor's biological daughter, does she qualify to sit in that position? Today I am face to face and want you to see whether I, Zhang Zonglin, am qualified to sit in the position of Crown Prince ."

Yan Yushi smiled and said to him:

"General, you have been the prince from the moment you received the imperial edict. Now it is meaningless to talk about my previous views on you."

Zhang Zonglin was speechless in public because Master Yan's words made no sense. He had to change his tone and said to them:

"Master Yan, you have worked hard on the saddle and horse along the way. I will entertain you well later. You take them to the camp to have a rest first, and I will catch up with you later."
