After wearing the book, I married the enemy proton

Beiliao ([-])

The son recommended the fourth brother

When the first ray of sunlight in the sky hit the golden plaque with the eternal spring and autumn, eunuchs shouted loudly from the dragon chair on the high platform.

The supreme ruler of Jiang country slowly walked up the golden ladder.

Sit down, and all the ministers salute.

Jiang Guoli made the prince crown the king after marriage, or participate in the government and discuss state affairs in the court, or donate the fief and move to the fief to live.

But usually the new emperor will send all his brothers to the fiefdom after he ascends the throne, and now only the eldest prince has become a relative and crowned king.

Therefore, when he was in court, he stood at the head of the courtiers, followed by several adult princes, and then the courtiers, which shows that the prince's status in Jiang Guo is quite high.

Su Yangjie stood behind Su Yunjie in a low-key manner, silently watching his every move, secretly imitating to prevent mistakes.

After the ceremony, Su Yangjiao raised his head slightly to look at the dragon chair.

The man sitting on the dragon chair was about 50 to [-] years old, with bright eyebrows and bright eyes, a broad face, calm and majestic, and a burly figure.

Yes, in the original book, the emperor fell ill after a hunting trip, and passed away soon after, and there was no heir to the throne until the end.

That's why the subsequent Three Kings' Rebellion happened. However, with the help of Wei Nanxun, Su Yunzhi calmed down the turmoil and stabilized the country, and finally ascended to the throne.

Of course, this is something to say later, there should still be a few years before the emperor goes away.

Without waiting for Su Yangjiao to take a closer look, he met the emperor's eyes.

Those eyes were extremely complicated, with concern, blame, and hatred.

However, that gaze quickly left him, and returned to staring at every counselor with dignity as usual.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Northern Liao Kingdom will come to the capital to submit the agreement in one month. At that time, their Princess Chunhua will also come with the envoys. According to the etiquette system, I, Da Jiang, will also send a prince to be in charge of the envoys." Regarding the matter of the regiment, I wonder which prince the emperor prefers to handle this matter?"

A man standing obliquely behind Su Yangjiao suddenly took a step towards the middle path, saluted and played.

I saw the emperor's brows were as usual, but he gently held the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, his eyes were still looking at the minister of His Highness, and he said after a long while: "Master Wang is the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the visit of the mission is also under the jurisdiction of Wang Qing." , which prince do you think is more suitable?"

He threw the question back calmly, really clever.

Wang Chi paused, and from the corner of his eye he looked at the several princes standing next to him one by one, and said: "In my opinion, the eldest prince, King Xun, is the eldest son and has been named prince. He has a noble status, and it is most appropriate to be in charge of this matter."

Su Yangjiao stood behind Su Yunjie, and saw his shoulders move imperceptibly, thinking that he also wanted to do this on purpose.

The emperor tapped on the armrest of the dragon chair with bent fingers, and said: "Speaking of the prince, I think of something."

He suddenly looked at Su Yangjiao and said, "The fourth prince has also married, so he should be crowned king according to the ancestral system. Wang Qing, let the Ministry of Rites handle this matter."

Wang Chi turned his head to look at Su Yangjiao, his eyes were very complicated, with disdain and disgust, even the courtiers around him cast a lot of glances at Su Yangjiao, which made him feel even more embarrassed when he was already uncomfortable.

After a long time, Wang Chi withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "Yes, I obey the order."

What kind of person the emperor is, I have seen his eyes clearly for a long time, but he still seemed to be a little satisfied on his plain face, and then said: "I see that King Xun has a lot of political affairs, and the mission of the Northern Liao Dynasty has a lot of trivial matters to visit. Distraction, not the best candidate."

After the words were finished, Su Yangjie noticed that some of the courtiers secretly exchanged glances. He knew that the court had already had an undercurrent. The prince participated in politics as an adult, and before a successor was established, there would always be someone who would secretly stand behind the prince who supported him.

Since there are people who support the First Prince, there will naturally be no shortage of supporters behind the prestigious Second Prince.

As expected, someone came out.

This person has a good appearance, thick eyebrows and eyes, and he looks a bit upright. He saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the corruption case of Marquis Annan has been closed. This is the closing statement. Please read it."

The emperor ordered his servant to fetch the memorial, looked at it and nodded in praise: "That's right, the case was handled swiftly, and the closing statement was well written, Chen Qing, you handled this matter very well."

The Marquis of Annan is in charge of the Xijiao Racecourse, and the Xijiao Racecourse is the largest horse farm in Jiang State. The emperor was very angry when the corruption case involved the army. He believed that Nan'anhou had touched the foundation of the country and his crime was unforgivable. He asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to join forces with Dali Temple Must be severely punished.

Chen Yu is the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and seeing Su Yunmo passing by from the corner of his eye, he replied respectfully: "I dare not take credit for this case. The Second Prince and the Minister jointly tried the case. All the courtiers in Dali Temple ate and slept together, interrogated the criminals day and night to confirm the evidence, and they were able to close the case so quickly.

The emperor closed the memorial, his eyes drifted to Su Yunjie, he nodded slightly and said: "The second prince has made meritorious service in hearing the case of Marquis of Nan'an, and I reward you with a gold pearl."

Su Yunmo paused, knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, father, for the reward."

Chen Yu looked at Su Yunmo, then looked at the emperor, and saluted again: "Your Majesty, the second prince knows how to be courteous, wise and tolerant, and is indeed an example among princes. I invite the emperor to send the Northern Liao Mission to Beijing this time. Only by entrusting the matter to the Second Prince to take care of it can we show our great Jiang Guowei."

After the words were closed, several courtiers also knelt down and echoed: "I also recommend the second prince."

Immediately, the atmosphere in Yanghui Hall froze for a moment, Su Yangjiao smelled danger, and he looked up at the emperor secretly again.

I saw that he was obviously displeased, his long eyes narrowed slightly, and his upright posture leaned back slightly. After carefully looking around at the kneeling courtiers of His Highness, his eyes fell on Su Yunmo .

broken.

The original book didn't write much about the emperor. When the Northern Liao mission came to Beijing, Su Yangjiao had just died. The emperor loved the prince very much. At that time, he was immersed in the pain of losing his son and didn't care about it. For small things, all the ministers unanimously recommended it, so it also fell on the second prince Su Yunjie.

But at this moment, Su Yangjiao is standing here, I am afraid things have changed.

Judging by the emperor's expression at this moment, he probably already has a candidate in his heart, and these courtiers' recommendation of the second prince may be at odds with his wishes, which will be troublesome. The emperor has always been most taboo about the prince forming a party with his courtiers.

Now that they are kneeling together, it is obvious that they support the second prince. It is no wonder that the emperor is happy!

Su Yangjiao carefully looked into the eyes of the emperor. Although the emperor said that there are many princes, not all of them are outstanding.

For example, he, the fourth prince, is born dissolute and loves freedom, he does not love government affairs and enjoys pleasure; another example is the third prince, who was born with leg problems and could not stand upright. There is no need to think about the matter of being disabled and seizing the heir; and the fifth prince, who has been a soldier all his life, grew up in southern Xinjiang since he was a child, far away from the court and only thinks about protecting his family and the country...

So the emperor didn't have many choices, and Su Yangjiao couldn't understand it. Could it be that the emperor prefers the king?

No, if you are interested in Wang Chi's recommendation just now, the emperor should agree.He looked behind him, the seventh prince Su Luming's immature face was slightly startled, and he hurriedly cast an innocent smile.

Su Yangjiao quickly turned his head, it must be wrong, Su Luming has just turned seventeen, and he will only go to the court to listen to the government after a year, the emperor will not entrust him with such an important matter.

Then... who would it be?

Su Yangjiao raised his head again, but just met the emperor's gaze, which was actually full of kindness.

Without waiting for Su Yangjiao to think about it in detail, he heard the voice of the person on the dragon chair ask in a deep voice: "Second Prince, all the ministers recommend you to host this matter, what do you think?"

Su Yunwan looked at the emperor with fixed eyebrows, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "I want to report to my father, I know that the three divisions have a lot of work recently, and I am afraid I won't have time to deal with it. If you don't think about Xiangquan, I'm afraid you will lose me, Jiang Guowei." He paused, turned his head back slightly, gave Su Yangjiao a vague look, and then continued: "My minister recommends the fourth younger brother. .”

As soon as the words fell, all the courtiers in the hall gasped, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

Su Yangjiao's brows froze, and he looked at the emperor's expression with deep eyes. He had a premonition from just now, that the person the emperor really wanted was him.

Sure enough, this time the emperor showed a satisfied look on his face, patted the armrest of the dragon chair, and said: "Oh? You recommend the fourth child, let's talk about it in detail."

Su Yunjie's black and white eyes stared at Su Yangjiao, and soon put on a familiar smile, and he said with the corners of his lips bent: "The fourth brother is the son of the eldest son, and he is about to become the king. He is the most valuable prince." , it is most appropriate to perform the welcome ceremony on behalf of the emperor."

For the first time, Su Yangjiao felt the coldness from that smile.

The emperor nodded casually and said: "It makes sense, so I will do as you say."

"Gao Sheng, pass on my will, and the fourth prince, Su Yangjiao, will take charge of the entry of the Northern Liao Mission to Beijing. All officials involved in the six departments are subject to their transfer arrangements."
