Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Chapter 133 You can not give face to the emperor, but you must give face to Chen Zhining

Now there is a saying circulating in the court - you can not give face to anyone, including the emperor, but you can not not give face to Chen Zhining!

Because Chen Zhining has two children.

You know, the royal heirs are dying out, let alone the legitimate grandchildren... These two little guys are the apple of the emperor's eye, and he loves them very much.

Anyone who throws this eyeball's face to the ground will naturally be punished.

The emperor might even kill him directly.

The censor quickly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are so wise!"

"Your Highness is right."

The other censors also nodded and agreed.

"Your Highness is right. What he said makes sense."

"Then let's do it this way."

"..."

The emperor said angrily: "This Chen Yaozu is really an unfilial son!"

"I am not unaware of the ridiculous things that Marquis Yingwu and his illegitimate son have done in the capital before! But I have always turned a blind eye to it!"

"But I didn't expect that Lord Yingwu would be dying soon, but he still didn't know how to honor his father! He caused such a ridiculous thing!"

"...It is really the fault of the father if the son is not well educated. This Lord Yingwu deserves the punishment!"

"It's just this matter... Prince, although what you said makes sense, you can't let this bastard succeed to the throne."

"He doesn't have that kind of character, and his status doesn't quite match it, but... Earl Yingwu doesn't have a legitimate son."

"How do I inherit the title of Earl?!"

Someone immediately suggested, "Otherwise, let the Ninth Prince's wife inherit the Earl's Mansion's property and title."

"Otherwise, Your Majesty will upgrade this Earl's Mansion to Yingwu Marquis, and when the Ninth Prince's wife gives birth to a legitimate second son, he can be conferred the title of Marquis."

"...Conferring a title of nobility, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

The prince shook his head, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to the emperor with a smile: "Father, do you remember the young man you met before?"

"You said...the one who is very good at studying is named Chen Bo."

"...Chen Bo?"

"I seem to have a little impression... Oh, now I remember, I know this young man. He is a good scholar and a kind person. He behaves in a measured way."

The emperor pondered for a while, then said.

"Then, Prince, what do you want to say?"

The prince said with a smile.

"I want to say that Chen Bo is the adopted son of Lady Yingwu, and he has been recorded in the family tree before, so he is the eldest son."

"Since he is the legitimate son and the eldest son, and he is smart and studious, and he is gentle and polite... and you, Father, have seen it. In this case, in terms of status and character, he is a perfect match."

"He is a good student and became a juren at a young age."

"Then why not let this person inherit the Earl's position in the Earl's Mansion?"

"What do you think, my dears?"

"......ah???"

Everyone was surprised for a moment, and they were discussing it privately.

"..."

If... it was just a title of earl, then there would be no need to discuss so much.

Whoever loves will inherit.

However, after all, there are some old nobles in the capital, and their earl's and marquis' houses have many rules, and adopted sons are still different from biological sons.

If the emperor had the final say on who would succeed to the throne and who would do what... then I'm afraid they would all be dissatisfied and have complaints.

However, now that there is such an outstanding eldest son, it seems legitimate to let this eldest son succeed to the throne.

After all, he was indeed recorded in the family tree, and they had met the emperor before. The emperor also said that he had a good character and good academic performance... plus, his identity was indeed in line with the requirements.

This is so smooth.

What the emperor meant now was: nobles, even if you want to say that this person is not good enough, he is just an adopted son after all, but that is not justifiable... because after all, there are no other good candidates.

So, the emperor pretended to be embarrassed in front of the prestigious lords of the Earl's and Marquis' Mansions, and spoke slowly.

"Duke Ling, Duke Lie, and Duke Zheng, the three dukes are representatives of the old nobles. What do you think of... this proposal?"

Duke Lingguo said, "Whatever your majesty says, it's up to you."

That's consent.

Strange, why are you so easy to talk to today?

The emperor looked at Duke Lieguo.

Duke Lieguo retorted, "I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

"After all, although it is said that from ancient times to the present, the eldest son is the most suitable, but... he is just an adopted son after all."

The Duke of Zhenguo said with a smile: "Adopted son, what can I do?!"

"This Lord Yingwu himself has a bad character. He gave birth to a dandy illegitimate son, and he doesn't even have a legitimate eldest son."

"...He couldn't let the bastard who was chased out of the street by the thugs from the brothel, beaten up, and beat up the people around him, inherit the position!"

"This is unacceptable no matter how you look at it!"

"If we really agree to this bastard's inheritance...it would be too embarrassing if the news got out."

"If you have concerns and think that Chen Bo is an adopted son and it is unreliable for him to inherit the title of Earl of Yingwu, then forget it."

"If you want this bastard to be the Earl of Yingwu, then we have different ideas and cannot work together... I am already so old, I don't want to lose this person."

"If someone asks you who made the decision, don't tell them it was me!"

"..."

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

There was silence in the air.

What he said really makes sense.

The current situation is like a knife is at your neck.

Chen Yaozu beat the people. If he were really made an uncle, it would be a huge mess.

Then he can't leave the position of the Earl's Mansion vacant!

Therefore, the heir could only be the eldest son born to Yun, or Chen Bo.

As the eldest son of a concubine, it was too absurd for him to cause such a thing when Marquis Yingwu was about to die. If he succeeded to the throne, he would be laughed to death by the people.

Therefore, no matter how inappropriate it is, Chen Bo has to inherit the position of Earl.

"..."

This morning court session lasted about an extra incense stick of time.

After attending the morning court, the prince went straight out of the palace.
