Come on, Your Highness

Three days later, it was the Great Court Meeting, when Hubu Shangshu asked to resign for the third time with tears in his eyes, the emperor finally reluctantly agreed.

As for the replacement candidate, without any accident, Li Shilang from the household department was promoted to Yipin Shangshu.

Prince Shun and Prince Li have already followed to the court, and they glanced at Xiao Hong at the same time.

Feeling these two gazes, Xiao Hong couldn't help raising his head and returning a bright smile, Xiao Yi and Xiao Ming were not very happy with the still-looking happy mood, and couldn't help but glared at him.

But it's okay, next...

A grey-haired old minister came out of the queue, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have a copy of the instructions."

The emperor's brows immediately wrinkled after he was crowned. He thought of the papers that the cabinet always presented, and a trace of haze appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Huang beside him reminded in a low voice.

The crown was shaking, and Emperor Tiangan glanced at his eldest son. At this moment, Xiao Hong was flirting with his younger brothers, intending to piss them off with his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to the minister kneeling on the ground at all.

When the Dachao meeting was boring, it was really boring. Xiao Hong himself was impatient, so he couldn't help making fun of himself secretly.

Such a carefree and childish appearance, compared with the one kneeling in the middle with ulterior motives, made Emperor Tiangan couldn't help but laugh.

Probably Emperor Tiangan had not made a sound all this time, there was inevitably a little strangeness in the hall, Xiao Hong withdrew his competitive gaze, and looked at his father suspiciously.

Emperor Tiangan sneered slightly, and spit out a word, "Quite."

The old minister's spirit was shaken, and he raised his wooden board and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the national power of Daqi is more prosperous than that of the previous dynasty. All the people in the world hope that the prosperous age will last forever. There is no one who has the world in ancient times. Use this way. An heir must have a son, so it has never been far away. The princes are getting older, you should choose a prince to be the prince, so as to stabilize the great Qi and stabilize the hearts of the people in the world."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall, but after a brief silence, whispers followed.

The ministers next to him also followed suit, "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and the early establishment will stabilize the aspirations of the ministers."

"Your majesty, the crown prince is established, and the emperor and ministers are clear. All princes should know the courtesy of ministers, abide by their duties, and avoid future troubles."

"Your majesty, second..."

In such a short time, he knelt down and knelt down. Emperor Tiangan didn't speak, but Eunuch Huang saw the emperor's hand tightly holding the handrail of the dragon head and the motionless bead curtain, and he knew that he was very sad. Displeased.

Some of the courtiers standing on both sides were surprised, some hung their heads in confusion, and some sneaked glances at the faces of the three princes in the hall, and finally fell on Xiao Hong.

Finally, someone suggested: "Your Majesty, from the middle palace of His Royal Highness the King of England, he is the elder of all the princes, with outstanding talents. The corporal is a model for all princes. He has the appearance of a wise king, so he can be a prince."

Xiao Hong's eyelids twitched when he heard this, his face was struck by lightning, and he was stunned.

"That's right, His Royal Highness is brave and decisive, fearless in the face of danger, and has the air of a general. The veteran admires him."

"His Royal Highness treats others with tolerance, does not take personal gains and losses as complaints, is open-minded and optimistic, and makes people yearn for him."

"Diligent and thrifty, never arrogant and extravagant, self-restraint and observance of propriety, the emperor, there are very few princes in the past dynasties, like His Royal Highness the King of England, it is really fortunate for our dynasty."

……

One after another of words of praise, one after another of high hats were continuously put on Xiao Hong's head.

For the first time in 18 years, Xiao Hong enjoyed this kind of flattery from the courtiers. He didn't feel complacent, but felt weird for a while.

His eyelids twitched wildly, and he looked at his younger brother's face. The latter two were completely expressionless, but there was a bright disgust in their eyes, and a feeling of constipation that could not vomit.

Xiao Hong quickly calmed down, raised his eyebrows, and said to himself, this is to make him and his emperor's father unhappy, right?

That being the case, the corner of Xiao Hong's mouth curled up, and he stopped being entangled. He continued to listen very calmly, and when he said that outsiders would blush upon hearing it, and that his character was comparable to that of a saint, he actually nodded seriously and gave the courtier a Appreciative look.

It seems to be saying: keep playing, don't stop, come up with something different, this king is optimistic about you.

As early as when the cabinet handed over the invitation to seal the crown prince, Emperor Tiangan knew that there would be such a release today.

However, even though he had made preparations, but listening to the courtiers' words of praise, it seemed that if Xiao Hong was not made the crown prince, the emperor would have no eyes, and there was a faint sense of persecution, which made the emperor really unhappy.

Eunuch Huang could already feel a hint of rain coming, and couldn't help but glance at the eldest prince worriedly.

The feeling of being forcibly roasted on the fire must have been uncomfortable for the eldest prince.

However, at this glance, I didn't expect...

"emperor."

Emperor Tiangan's face was gloomy, and a surge of anger surged from the bottom of his heart. When he was about to erupt, Eunuch Huang's voice came suddenly. He raised his head almost invisibly, and saw Eunuch Huang pouted in Xiao Hong's direction calmly. , so his eyes followed to look at the past...

After a while, Emperor Tiangan took a deep breath and suppressed the unsightly impulse to raise his hand to his forehead.

Helpless, he sighed softly, and asked himself: How could such a thing be born, shame on me!

I saw that the corners of Xiao Hong's mouth almost reached behind his ears, his eyes narrowed into slits in a smile, his face was full of pride of being praised, his chin was raised, his chest was raised and his abdomen was retracted. If he had a tail, he would be like a big rooster Going up to the sky, quite kind... Come on, you can boast as much as you want, don't be humble, this king is so cute!

In this court, Xiao Hong's style of painting is unique, he is simply the leader, it is difficult to ignore him.

In fact, as the center of the vortex, he was indeed being observed both openly and secretly.

Just seeing his expression, everyone fell silent.

This scene is completely different from what I imagined. Shouldn't the king kneel down in panic and clarify to the emperor?

But this picture of Lao Tzu is so good, alas, what happened to the expression that you finally found out?

Your Royal Highness, do you know what is the reason for recommending you as the crown prince?

Can you not be so thick-skinned!

Xie Ge always knew the plan of Xiao Hong and He Xichao, but Rao was shocked by Xiao Hong's weird style of painting.

Several cabinet elders in the cabinet exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw the word "amazing" in each other's eyes.

They stood in the front row, the closest to the emperor above Dan Majesty, and they had accompanied him for many years, reckoning that they could roughly understand Emperor Tiangan's mood.

No matter how maverick Xiao Hong behaved, and even had the idea of ​​being a rascal, he had to admit that this kind of counter-intuitive method indeed instantly eliminated the anger brewing up by the emperor.

A strange atmosphere permeated the surroundings, and the minister who had been eloquently putting firewood on Xiao Hong's shelf could not continue talking...

Just when he was about to see what happened, he heard a urging voice, "Go on, besides the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eighty-nine... advantages of appealing, what else does this king have?"

Xiao Hong's unique idleness came from the hall. He folded his arms and stared at the officials kneeling on the ground with interest, and said with his ear, "This king has lived for 18 years. This is the first time I realized that you guys like me, worship me, and admire me so much, tsk tsk, you are all duplicity guys, this flattery, if you didn't name me, I don't even know it's me who is like a fairy Ah, I'm so embarrassed to boast, hehe..."

No, you look very embarrassed, even more interested.

The official opened his mouth, and immediately didn't know how to continue, so he could only look at Xiao Hong in a daze.

"Lord Lin, Lord Zhu, and Lord Fang, I heard that you are all great talents. They are best at reciting poems and composing Fu. Why don't you sing praises to the king? I will collect them and publish a book. From now on, I will put them on the bedside and sleep every day. Take it out and look through Le Yile, you have to laugh in your dreams! By the way, I suddenly thought of a very important point, and you didn't say it!"

What, what?

Everyone looked at Xiao Hong curiously.

Xiao Hong cleared his throat, and said displeasedly: "This king is so handsome, tall and powerful, why don't you boast about his peerless appearance? Looking at the capital, Pan An will be ashamed of himself when he sees any son who can compare with this king! I didn't say that with this king's appearance, standing on the street, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law would definitely blush and have a heartbeat, crying and crying to marry me..."

"Hong'er!" Emperor Tiangan finally couldn't listen anymore, he felt that if he didn't stop, this kid could make a dirty joke in front of the hall, Xiao Hong was shameless, he wanted to keep some, "Okay, I will blush for you , be humble."

So Xiao Hong waved his hands at several officials, "Did you hear that, keep a low profile, keep a low profile, just understand it in your heart, don't need to say it, my two younger brothers are still here, what should I do if I feel ashamed?"

Xiao Yi and Xiao Ming twitched the corners of their mouths at the same time, not wanting to talk to him.

"Your Majesty, although His Majesty the King of England seems to be reckless, in fact he has a certain degree of advance and retreat. The ministers still believe that His Majesty can become a qualified heir. Please grant your Majesty's permission."

Although Xiao Hong's gags did not defeat the purpose of the officials, they already made the atmosphere in the court less serious.

Emperor Tiangan looked at Xiao Hong and asked, "Hong'er, do you have something to say?"

Xiao Hong was actually a little annoyed by this group of people chasing after them like flies. After a little thought in his heart, he went out to salute, raised his head and asked bluntly: "Father, I dare to ask, why did you abolish your son nine years ago?" The crown prince?"

As soon as this remark came out, the hall could hear the needle drop again in an instant, and even the officials who asked for it looked at Xiao Hong in shock.

So bold!

Thunder, rain and dew are all favored by the king, so is there a reason for the emperor to abolish it?

Who dares to ask the emperor a reason?

Emperor Tiangan was a little surprised to be honest, he thought for a while, and then said: "At that time, you couldn't bear to be a prince."

These words are direct enough and hurtful!

How can anyone not be ashamed and angry?

Everyone couldn't help looking at Xiao Hong again, but King Ying still stood where he was, with no change in his mood and expression, as if he didn't care.

He said: "Indeed, as the ministers said, the prince, the foundation of the country, must be able to take on the responsibility of supervising the country, have the ability to decide state affairs, and be able to support the livelihood of the people in the world. Nine years ago, Xiao Hong was not worthy of being a prince at all. , and today, nine years later, Xiao Hong still doesn't have this qualification."

Xiao Hong's voice was loud and deep, and the thicker and thicker his voice showed his maturity and magnanimity.

He clearly told everyone present that as a prince, he is not worthy now, but this does not mean that he has given up this position, but will continue to work hard. One day, when he has the qualities and abilities that a prince should have, he will come again strive for.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he turned to the officials who had recommended him as the crown prince. Instead of smiling as usual, he lowered his expression and said solemnly: "Xiao Hong is grateful for the love from all the adults, but it's a pity that all the adults are also grateful." I am extremely disappointed. The people of the Li people will not care whether to establish a prince or not, and the country will not be stable because of a prince. The people are concerned about whether they can have enough food, whether they can wear warm clothes, and whether they can have peace and tranquility. Only those who are officials in the court and those who are bent on opportunism use this as an excuse to test the Holy One. The court meeting is a place to brainstorm and solve the world's difficult and important issues, but it is used by several people to discuss such meaningless things. It’s really putting the cart before the horse.”

Several officials were stunned, they didn't expect Xiao Hong to say that.

At this time, Xiao Hong had also turned around, faced Emperor Tiangan again, and kowtowed with both hands, "Father, my son thinks that you don't need to pay attention to this matter, other things are important."

After speaking, he returned to his position, stood up, and smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened.

The absurdity of His Royal Highness is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Being able to say such a thing really shocked everyone present, including Xiao Yi and Xiao Ming.

Their image is still on Xiao Hong's domineering and unreasonable behavior, and the only good thing is that they are very lucky to meet He Xichao and have such an all-round companion.

But now they found that they didn't understand Xiao Hong at all.

Putting themselves in this position, they don't have Xiao Hong's ability to understate the situation, and they can eliminate the difficult situation in an invisible way.

Everyone knows that it is meaningless to suggest that the crown prince should be appointed to Xiao Hong now, it will only make him burn with fire and be in a difficult situation.

But not only was he fearless, but he took the initiative decisively and gave these officials an invisible slap with his backhand, which was useless critically.

After today, these speech officials who have been the pawns of others will come to the end of their careers, and life will not be easy.

Because His Royal Highness is the most vengeful.

But there are still some thoughtful ministers who are shocked by the fact.

That is the boundless tacit understanding between the emperor and the king of England.

From ancient times to the present, which deposed prince dared to directly ask the emperor why he was abolished, and which emperor could mercilessly admit that he was not worthy of being the heir apparent.

After talking about the father and son, they are as normal as human beings, and they still have no grievances. What kind of trust and honesty is this!

At the end of the Great Court Meeting, Xie Ge looked at Xiao Hong who was still gliding fast in the waves, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "This little apprentice, old man, is really a monster."

What Xiao Hong did today may not be known to others, but Mr. Xie Ge can clearly see the shadow of He Xichao in Xiao Hong.

The author has something to say: Yao: Excuse me, Xi Chao, how did Xiaohong win the world?

He Xichao: Unparalleled thick-skinned.

Yao: Ask Xi Chao again, how did he win your heart?

He Xichao: ...

Xiaohong: Stalking is thick-skinned.

Haruka: You are quite self-aware.

Xiao Hong: I am proud.
