After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

In the Jinluan Palace, after the important matters were reported to the ministers, and seeing that there was nothing to deal with, Emperor Jiaqing made a routine inquiry.

"My dear friends, do you have anything important to do? If nothing happens, I will be here early this morning."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" At this time, the Prince of Honglu Temple suddenly stood up and said.

"Wang Aiqing, please speak." Emperor Jiaqing looked at Lord Wang and said.

Mr. Wang knelt in the hall and said loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the position of the Crown Prince has been vacant for many years. I also implore Your Majesty to pay attention to the Crown Prince in order to determine the hearts of the people in the world."

Emperor Jiaqing looked at Mr. Wang who was kneeling down with an indifferent expression and remained silent.

As early as a few days after Lin Baolin's miscarriage, the proposals for adopting a step-heir continued to come in like snowflakes as before. Even the Jiaqing Emperor, who was the most noble of the ninety-five, was facing the ministers. They were all forced, and they were a little unable to resist.

Although he had long wanted to have a step-heir, he didn't like being forced. What's more, he had just lost his child and was at a very sad time.

However, the ministers did not give him much time to relax. They only wanted to let him have an heir as soon as possible and establish a prince as soon as possible.

However, Emperor Jiaqing knew that he was not young and the matter of establishing a heir apparent was imminent.

That's all, hasn't it been decided a long time ago? In that case, it doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or a few days later.

Thinking like this, Emperor Jiaqing looked at Lord Wang and asked, "Wang Aiqing, who do you think is more suitable for me to adopt? Are there any candidates?"

Mr. Wang was the first person to speak out, so it was reasonable for him to be the first to ask him.

"In my opinion, the Crown Prince of Prince Yu is the most suitable one. Although Crown Prince Yu is only fourteen years old, he has already shown his talents and has a calm and restrained temperament. He is worthy of the position of Crown Prince." Mr. Wang considered the suitable one in his mind. The candidate was announced.

In fact, Emperor Jiaqing had already guessed the person he was talking about before Lord Wang spoke. He knew in his heart that the Wang family and Liu Hong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, were in-laws. Lord Wang's eldest son's first wife died in childbirth five years ago, and his current step-in-law is The concubine of the Liu family, and the eldest daughter of the Liu family is Prince Yu's princess and the biological mother of Prince Yu's son.

With this level of relationship, Mr. Wang will definitely support Prince Yu's Mansion.

Maybe Mr. Wang will stand up and ask the emperor to establish the position of crown prince, maybe with Liu Shangshu's instructions.

"Where are the others? Do you also think Prince Yu is the most suitable candidate?" Emperor Jiaqing glanced at the courtiers below and asked aloud.

"Prince Yu is the legitimate son of Prince Yu. Prince Yu and Your Majesty are both heirs of the late emperor. They are compatriots and have the closest relationship. I also believe that Prince Yu is the most suitable one to assume the position of crown prince." Left Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate The censor also stood up and echoed.

Following the words of the left governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, more ministers came forward to express their support for the establishment of Prince Yu as the crown prince.

These ministers naturally included Liu Shangshu, the grandfather of Crown Prince Yu. Everyone could see that these ministers were headed by Liu Shangshu.

Listening to the words of those ministers, King Yu, who was standing silently on the side, was secretly happy at the thought that his son was about to become the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future, and he himself would be the supreme emperor by then.

If it weren't for the fear of being caught by the emperor, his smile would have been uncontrollable.

He had been waiting for five years and planning for five years, just for this day to put his son on the throne.

So what if Li Jing wins the throne no matter how powerful he is? If he can't give birth to a child, it's not like he made a wedding dress for him.

Who would have thought that he, the prince with the humblest origin, the least favored, and the least favored by anyone, would eventually become the big winner.

However, at this moment, Xu Shoufu, who had not expressed his position until now, spoke up: "Although Prince Yu is excellent, to say that he is extremely talented, he has to be the younger grandson of Prince Zhuang's Palace. He is only ten years old now and has already learned the Four Books and Five Classics." , and now he is still under Mr. Lin's disciples and studying with Mr. Lin. There is no doubt about his talent. It is said that the selection of talents and the promotion of talents are related to the position of the prince. Naturally, only those with great wisdom are qualified for the job, and they will not fall. The inheritance of our ancestors."

The Prince Zhuang Mansion that Xu Shoufu mentioned was the younger brother of the late Emperor's mother, the uncle of the Emperor and Prince Yu, and the grandson of Prince Zhuang, the nephew of Emperor Jiaqing.

After hearing Xu Shoufu's words, King Yu's face froze slightly.

It’s Xu Zhizhang again!

He is deliberately going against himself!

Following Xu Chieffu's words, the remaining half of the ministers who had not expressed their opinions also expressed their opinions and agreed with his words.

Prince Yu's Mansion had nothing to do with Xu Shoufu. Sixteen years ago, Xu Shoufu was not the chief minister, but a third-rank minister of Dali Temple. At that time, Prince Yu fell in love with the legitimate daughter of Xu Shoufu's family and wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

However, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family had a marriage contract with the Marquis of Anyang. Although it had not been finalized, the two families had already made it clear. Xu Shoufu kept his promise and would rather offend King Yu, who was still the prince at the time, than break the contract, so the marriage was formed. Liang Zi.

At that time, King Yu was just an unpopular prince, while Xu Shoufu was deeply valued by the late emperor and was an important member of the court.

King Yu thought that Xu Shoufu looked down on him and felt that he was not worthy of his daughter, so he rejected his marriage proposal. For this reason, King Yu always held a grudge against him.

Originally, half of the ministers had already agreed that the emperor should adopt his legitimate son. Now, when Xu Shoufu came forward to propose adopting the younger grandson of Prince Zhuang's palace, wasn't he just specifically against him?

However, no matter how dissatisfied King Yu was at this time, he did not dare to show it, because he was not stupid. Others could refute this kind of thing, but he could not, because once he spoke, it would make people think that he coveted the throne.

Although everyone is tacitly aware of this matter, it cannot be brought to the surface. After all, if the emperor is angered, his son's hope of inheriting the throne will become slim.

After all, his son had not been adopted into the emperor's name for a day, so he could not relax for a moment.

No, he couldn't relax for a moment until he actually inherited the throne, because even if he was established as a prince, he might be deposed.

King Yu has not forgotten that his good eldest brother, the biological brother of the current majesty's first mother, was also a prince in the past, but it turned out that his father did not want to abolish him.

"Although the younger grandson of Prince Zhuang's palace is smart, Crown Prince Yu is closer to His Majesty. After all, Crown Prince Yu is His Majesty's nephew." Liu Shangshu argued with reason.

"This is wrong..."

Led by Xu Shoufu and Liu Shangshu, everyone in the two groups argued fiercely.

Emperor Jiaqing looked at the noisy ministers below with a gloomy expression.

After a long time, he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard and said angrily: "Shut up!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the ministers below all fell silent and knelt down in fear and kowtow: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Emperor Jiaqing glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "This matter will stop here for now. As for the two candidates you mentioned, I will think about it carefully and give you an answer in a while."

The emperor had said this, so naturally the ministers did not dare to have any objections.

So that morning ended like this.
