The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was harsh and he was not willing to delegate power, otherwise Zhou Rui, who was nearly 30 years old, would not be as irritable as he is now.Now the emperor suddenly announced that Zhou Rui would supervise the country, not to mention the civil and military officials, even Zhou Rui himself thought there was something wrong with his ears.He looked at the emperor in a daze, with an expression of where am I and what did I hear.
There was silence in the hall, and the emperor was in a good mood. He continued to speak: "The Eldest Prince has done a good job in worshiping this time, and I believe he can do a good job in supervising the country for me. But after all, the Eldest Prince has never dealt with government affairs alone. Lovers still need to help him a lot and remind him."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, before the other people in the hall responded, Zhou Rui had already lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, with surprise on his face that he couldn't restrain despite his efforts.He hastily expressed his determination and said: "Father, the sons and daughters will do their best to share the father's worries, and will never disappoint the father's expectations."
Hearing this, the emperor said with relief, "That's good, I believe you will be able to handle the affairs of the court." Zhou Rui took the opportunity to show his loyalty again.
At this time, all civil and military officials had already reacted to this sudden incident, and the expressions of those old foxes were well maintained, and only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.Even if he couldn't control his expression for a while, he quickly restrained himself.
Old Mrs. Wen looked at Zhou Rui, feeling very annoyed, wishing he could kick him out of the hall.Old Mrs. Wen coughed dryly twice with his hands on his mouth, but Zhou Rui didn't look at him at all, only accepting the emperor's appointment with joy.Wen Shijing was also a little shocked at first, but after hearing old master Wen's dry cough, he immediately reacted.
Wen Shijing glanced at all the civil and military officials calmly, and before the emperor called Zhou Rui up, Huang Yao, the youngest censor in the court, stood up. He looked dark, his face was tense, and he said in a straightforward tone: "Your Majesty! , I think this matter is impossible."
As soon as Huang Yao appeared, the emperor's face was not very good-looking. The emperor hated eloquent officials the most. People like Huang Yao got the true biography of Qin Nan, and they put forward their own opinions every now and then, which is really disgusting.
The emperor was unhappy, but Zhou Rui was angry and anxious.He naturally knew in his heart that Huang Yao belonged to Mrs. Wen, and what Huang Yao said represented what Mrs. Wen meant.Huang Yao belonged to Mr. Wen, and also belonged to him. Zhou Rui didn't understand what Mr. Wen wanted to do and why he wanted to stop him from supervising the country.
In an instant, Zhou Ruiqi's eyes turned red.If he hadn't lowered his head, I'm afraid he couldn't help but look at Mrs. Wen and get angry.At this moment, Zhou Rui had already forgotten all kinds of old master Wen's treatment of him in the past, and only felt that his appearance was very odious.
Huang Yao turned a blind eye to the emperor's gloomy face, and continued to speak loudly: "Your Majesty, although the Eldest Prince is the eldest son, he is not a legitimate son nor a prince. It is really unfair for him to come out to supervise the country. Think twice."
After Huang Yao finished speaking, more than half of the officials in the court stood up and said, "I hope the emperor thinks twice." The officials here include Lin Songren and Wen Shijing, all of whom are related to the eldest prince , of course there is no Mrs. Wen.
Of course, when Wen Shijing stood up, he represented the Wen family to a certain extent.
The emperor looked at most of the officials, clasped his hands tightly on the corner of the dragon chair, squinted his eyes and said softly: "What do you mean? Wen Shijing, tell me, do you object to me or to the eldest prince supervising the country? "
Wen Shijing knelt down solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not be dissatisfied with the eldest prince's supervision of the country, let alone question the emperor's order. I just feel that this matter violates the ancestral system. Since the founding of the country, there has never been a prince who is not entrusted to supervise the country, I hope the emperor will think twice."
The emperor snorted coldly, looked at old Mrs. Wen and said, "Is that what Prime Minister Wen meant?"
Old Mrs. Wen hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have no other intentions. I will obey the emperor's orders."
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched into a smile that seemed to be a smile, and he looked straight at Zhou Rui and said, "Zhou Rui, what about you? Are you willing to take part in this country or not? I am willing to discuss this matter at a later date.”
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui only felt that he was covered in sweat, and his mind was so hazy that he couldn't think of anything.After a long time, Zhou Rui heard his own very small voice, he said: "Father, my son is willing."
As soon as Zhou Rui's words came out of his mouth, a trace of disappointment flashed in Old Master Wen's lowered eyes. Zhou Rui's performance really disappointed him.Huang Yao and other supporters of the eldest prince looked at each other inexplicably.
The emperor looked at Zhou Rui with no expression on his face. After some time, the emperor smiled.He got up and said: "Since the eldest prince is willing, this matter is settled like this. In the future, during my absence, the eldest prince will supervise the country and handle government affairs."
After saying this, Wang Jin'an stepped forward and shouted in a shrill voice: "Retire." Then he helped the emperor to leave, leaving the civil and military officials of the court looking at each other.
Old Mrs. Wen was the first to leave. When he left, he didn't even look at Zhou Rui who was kneeling on the ground.The others also left in twos and threes, and Wen Shijing was the last one to leave. Mrs. Wen had already given Zhou Rui no face, and as a member of Wen's family, he had to.
Wen Shijing saw that Zhou Rui was still kneeling on the ground with a dazed expression on his face, so he walked over and said, "The eldest prince has retreated, let's go back."
Zhou Rui was supported by him before he realized it. He grabbed Wen Shijing's hand and stood up. Looking at Wen Shijing's expressionless face, Zhou Rui realized later, "Is Prime Minister Wen angry?"
Wen Shijing smiled slightly and said: "Don't think too much, the eldest prince. It is a good thing to supervise the country. The virtuous concubine in the palace is waiting for you. You should go and tell the empress about this."
Hearing this, Zhou Rui's uneasy heart calmed down a little, and he said: "No matter what, I was reckless today, and I hope Brother Wen will explain it to me in front of Prime Minister Wen, so that the old man will not angry."
Wen Shijing said: "Don't think too much, the eldest prince, father is not angry."
Zhou Rui hummed, and left Wen Shijing very disturbed.Zhou Rui walked towards the harem, Wen Shijing put away the smile on his face, and walked out of the hall with a slightly cold expression.
When Wen Shijing left the palace, he saw old master Wen talking to Lin Songren from a distance and left.From such a distance, Wen Shijing could see Lin Songren froze there.
After Mrs. Wen patted Lin Songren on the shoulder and left, Lin Songren was still frozen there.Wen Shijing walked over unhurriedly, saw that Lin Songren's shocked expression did not retract, and said, "Lin Shangshu, what's wrong with you, are you all right?"
When Lin Songren saw Wen Shijing, his eyes were angry and startled, and he said incoherently: "Wen Shilang, that bastard Jinwen really said that the emperor wants to establish a concubine..." just now the old master Wen mentioned to him with a smile that Gu Qinglin went to Wen At that time at home, it was said that Lin Jinwen said that the emperor intended to establish a prince, but he didn't expect that the eldest prince would supervise the country in a blink of an eye.
Lin Songren was like a bolt from the blue when he heard this, he didn't even know it happened.
Wen Shijing interrupted Lin Songren's words and said: "Shangshu Lin, you mean the emperor asked the eldest prince to supervise the country? This matter has been decided, and it is also a test for the eldest prince."
Lin Songren nodded indiscriminately and said: "Wen Shilang, there is something to do at the official's house today, let's meet again at another day." After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Wen Shijing looked at his back with a thoughtful expression.
On the way Lin Songren hurried home, the concubine Xian in the palace lost her temper with Zhou Rui.
Seeing Zhou Rui's despicable appearance, Concubine Xian almost slapped him in the face.She was so angry that her heart ached and she couldn't say a word.
Zhou Ruidao: "Mother Concubine, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, please speak up. My son is wrong, so don't be angry."
After hearing this, Concubine Xian finally found her voice. She looked at Zhou Rui coldly and said, "I know that you are the eldest prince, but you have no real power. You have endured all these years, and you have always felt wronged in your heart. Your Majesty today You were happy to suddenly ask you to supervise the country. But when Prime Minister Wen and the others objected, why didn't you think about what they said? Should you agree to this?"
Although Zhou Rui was a little worried about Mrs. Wen's anger just now, he was still happy that he was about to be imprisoned.At this time, he finally calmed down and thought about everything that happened in the hall.He wasn't really stupid, but sometimes he was too eager for quick success, and when he figured it out, his face turned pale.
Concubine Xian saw that he had finally figured it out, she was disappointed and said: "When you are your father, you gave up power so easily? There is no heir in the harem, and there is no prince in the previous dynasty. What a great opportunity today is, as long as you can hold on, Don't be fooled by the petty profits in front of you. Wen Xiang and your grandfather can force the emperor to install a queen or a prince, and then everything you do will be justified. Now it's good, you have nothing but the title of supervisor nothing."
Over the years, how many people in the court have tested the emperor and proposed to establish a crown prince, but the emperor has not let go until this time the emperor wants Zhou Rui to supervise the country.
Huang Yao said in the court hall that although Zhou Rui was the eldest son, he was not a legitimate son or a prince, which meant that his name was not right.If Zhou Rui can hold on in the court, even if he temporarily refuses to supervise the country on the grounds of his own lack of ability, can the emperor let a fool or a few underage princes take over the court?
Zhou Rui refused, and then the people behind Huang Yao would hand over the papers, asking the emperor to appoint a crown prince and queen.There are so many ministers Wen Xiang and Zhou Rui's ancestral family in the court, this time the Zhezi is not a small-scale trial like before, because the emperor has let Zhou Rui supervise the country.What's more beneficial to Zhou Rui is that he is currently the only adult prince in the entire Great Zhou, and he is the eldest son, so it is logical for the courtiers to appoint him as the prince.
The emperor is not young, and it is a great advantage to establish a prince Zhou Rui. Even if the emperor does not appoint a prince this time and appoint a virtuous concubine as his queen, Zhou Rui's identity is the eldest son of the direct emperor, and it will be much easier to become a prince or even an emperor in the future.
It's a pity that Zhou Rui himself was dazzled by the sudden joy. At that time, he was full of resentment and only wanted to reach the sky in one step. He didn't analyze the meaning of Huang Yao's words at all, and missed such a good opportunity for nothing.
In the future, if someone asks for the establishment of a crown prince in the booklet, other people who do not belong to Zhou Rui will laugh at him behind his back. They only care about the state and don't have an identity. No matter what the emperor commented, it is justified.
Concubine Xian wanted to splash cold water on Zhou Rui's head when she thought of this, she really couldn't figure out why Zhou Rui's head became duller the longer he grew, how could he not see such an obvious thing.
After Zhou Rui figured it out, his face was always pale and ugly. He rarely calmed down and said: "Mother, concubine, the matter has come to an end, I can't go to the father and say that I don't want to supervise the country. The matter of setting up the crown prince, the matter of setting up the prince, We have to figure out a way."
Concubine Xian couldn't help but said: "I thought you would really do this with your brain."
Concubine Xian has endured in the palace for so many years, she has gone through everything, and her temper has been tempered to the point of home.As a result, Zhou Rui's own life became more and more countdown.
Zhou Rui kept silent with a face of shame, Concubine Xian was also angry, and the anger lingered in her heart, but as Zhou Rui said, the matter has come to an end, and it is useless to say more.
She tried her best to calm down the anger in her heart and said: "You take the time to go to Wen Xiang to reflect. If Wen Xiang is disappointed in you in his heart, it will be a big deal."
Zhou Rui whispered: "Mother, concubine, will Wen meet? No matter what we say, it is also a grasshopper on a rope, and besides, there is still Jingxian."
Concubine Xian said: "If you're not afraid of [-], you're afraid of the eventuality. Besides, you did something wrong. I'm so angry, let alone Wen Xiang."
Zhou Rui didn't dare to refute, he nodded and said: "Mother Concubine, I understand that I will go to Wen Xiang's place after leaving the palace."
Concubine Xian hummed and said: "Didn't the Wen family get news last time that the emperor intends to establish a crown prince? Why is it the supervisor of the country? Besides, the emperor announced the matter just after the queen mother died. Is there any other reason for this? The Wen family got inaccurate information?" After getting the news, the Wen family didn't hide it from Zhou Rui, and they always wanted to lead the matter, just waiting for an opportunity.
Now that the opportunity came, it was Zhou Rui who lost the chain.
Zhou Rui thought for a while and said: "Gu Qinglin got the news. He heard Lin Jinwen mention it, so he told the Wen family. Lin Jinwen is very arrogant, he only cares about his father, and he doesn't care about others. In his eyes, he probably wouldn't lie if he said nothing, could it be possible that the concubine Mu suspects that Gu Qinglin is lying?"
Concubine Xian frowned and said: "Look into this matter carefully. There was fraud in the marriage between Gu Qinglin and Lin Jinwen, and the Wen family couldn't get rid of it. It is inevitable that he would have resentment in his heart because of this, and he may not be sure if he deliberately misled the Wen family."
When Zhou Rui settled down, he still had some ability. He said, "Mother, it's not as convenient for you to investigate this matter. Since it was the father who opened the mouth, he didn't shy away from Lin Jinwen's big mouth. There are many people in the palace. Well, someone might have heard such rumors. I will go test Lin Jinwen tomorrow to see if there is any problem."
Concubine Xian nodded, then glanced at him and sighed: "If you are so calm when encountering anything, this palace won't have to worry so much. Your father is unpredictable, since you have promised to supervise the country Now, you have to be careful everywhere, and restore your image in your father's heart as soon as possible."
Zhou Ruidao: "What my concubine taught me is that my son understands."
Concubine Xian said: "You have not been in the palace for a short time, go out. Let Wen Jingxian come to the palace tomorrow, I have something to tell her."
Zhou Rui agreed, and left the palace.
Lin Jinwen was mentioned in the palace in this room, and Lin Songren in the other room returned to the Lin family as if his butt was on fire, and then he couldn't sit still, so he sent someone to see Lin Jinwen immediately.
Lin Jinwen was drinking the bone soup that Gu Qinglin served for him at the time, and his sleeves were stained with oil, so he said casually after drinking the soup and changing his clothes before going.The boy who came to deliver the message said: "Eldest young master, the master said that if you don't go immediately, the servant will tie you up."
Lin Jinwen looked at the boy's anxious look and snorted coldly: "Is it up to you or me? I said change clothes, if you have the ability, tie me up now?"
Gu Qinglin looked at the boy and said gently: "Young master's soup has been finished, it won't take long to change clothes, just wait for a while."
After saying this, Gu Qinglin helped Lin Jinwen go to the inner room.The boy stood there with an anxious face, it was the first time he saw Lin Songren's face so ugly.
When he arrived in the inner room, Gu Qinglin brought him his clothes and said, "Did something happen to my father? The anxiety on that boy's face doesn't look like a fake."
Lin Jinwen took the gown, changed it out himself and said, "I don't know, maybe something happened in the palace. It's okay, don't worry, he won't do anything to me."
Gu Qinglin hummed, then stood aside and watched Lin Jinwen buckle the buttons on himself.
After tidying up his clothes, Lin Jinwen deliberately pecked against Gu Qinglin's ear and smiled, "Wait for me to come back."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Qinglin's Junyi face.
@@@
When Lin Jinwen arrived at Lin Songren's study, the anger on Lin Songren's face had calmed down. He asked Lin Jinwen to close the door, and then said directly, "You told Prime Minister Wen that the emperor intends to establish a crown prince?"
Lin Jinwen thought about the situation in front of him, but he said with a puzzled expression on his face, "When did I tell Prime Minister Wen that the emperor is going to have a crown prince?"
"You didn't say that?" Lin Songren frowned and said, "You said what Prime Minister Wen said."
"Father, can you make Wen Xiangye reasonable? I have been busy these days with the Queen Mother's death anniversary. I am as busy as a spinning top every day. I go out early and return late. How can I have time to see Wen Xiangye, let alone tell him?" His Majesty is about to set up a crown prince."
Lin Songren saw that his demeanor did not seem to be fake, he frowned tightly, and said in another way: "Then have you heard the emperor talk about the establishment of a crown prince?"
Lin Jinwen nodded and said: "I have heard that. The emperor said that after the death of the queen mother, he will consider establishing a crown prince."
The veins on Lin Songren's forehead showed, he held back the anger in his heart and said, "Why didn't you tell my father about such an important matter?"
Lin Jinwen asked in surprise: "Is this important? We can only see who the emperor wants to establish, and besides, isn't the eldest prince a supervisor of the country? It's a good thing. Father, what are you angry about? Can you be straightforward? White dot."
Lin Songren stared at Lin Jinwen and said, "How did the Wen family know that the emperor is going to appoint a crown prince? Have you ever told others about it?"
Lin Jinwen nodded again: "Yes, I told Gu Qinglin."
Lin Songren frowned even tighter, and he said: "Don't you dislike Gu Qinglin? When can you say that you have a good relationship?"
Lin Jinwen took it for granted, "What's the matter, he's pregnant, and I'm so tired every day, so I'll talk to him when I have nothing to do."
Lin Songren sighed, and he said: "Jinwen, can you be more considerate. I heard that your relationship with the eldest prince is not very good. Take this incident as an example, why didn't you tell Weifu. Weifu can at least be in Explain your contribution to the Wen family and the eldest prince, and the eldest prince will at least remember your kindness. It is also good for you that the eldest prince supervises the country, at least it will not embarrass you."
Lin Jinwen blinked, and said with an innocent expression: "Then what to do, besides, I didn't offend the First Prince, why did he make things difficult for me."
Lin Songren pressed his hands on the table, he felt that he and Lin Jinwen couldn't understand what was done by the dragon and what was done by the sky, he just felt that he wanted to get angry.But in the end he restrained himself from wanting to lose his temper, and said: "If you hear the emperor say something in the future, you must remember to tell your father."
Lin Jinwen said in a low voice, "I see."
Lin Songren waved him away. After Lin Jinwen left, Lin Songren rubbed his head and eyes, only to feel that his head hurts badly when he met Lin Jinwen.
Lin Jinwen didn't change his expression along the way, when he and Gu Qinglin were alone in the room, he said: "The eldest prince is in charge of the country."
Gu Qinglin was surprised: "So fast?"
Lin Jinwen nodded. What he didn't say was that he felt a little bad about this matter, and there were too many eyes focused on him now.Maybe there will be pots falling from the sky, he has to prepare early and divert his attention.
There was silence in the hall, and the emperor was in a good mood. He continued to speak: "The Eldest Prince has done a good job in worshiping this time, and I believe he can do a good job in supervising the country for me. But after all, the Eldest Prince has never dealt with government affairs alone. Lovers still need to help him a lot and remind him."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, before the other people in the hall responded, Zhou Rui had already lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, with surprise on his face that he couldn't restrain despite his efforts.He hastily expressed his determination and said: "Father, the sons and daughters will do their best to share the father's worries, and will never disappoint the father's expectations."
Hearing this, the emperor said with relief, "That's good, I believe you will be able to handle the affairs of the court." Zhou Rui took the opportunity to show his loyalty again.
At this time, all civil and military officials had already reacted to this sudden incident, and the expressions of those old foxes were well maintained, and only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.Even if he couldn't control his expression for a while, he quickly restrained himself.
Old Mrs. Wen looked at Zhou Rui, feeling very annoyed, wishing he could kick him out of the hall.Old Mrs. Wen coughed dryly twice with his hands on his mouth, but Zhou Rui didn't look at him at all, only accepting the emperor's appointment with joy.Wen Shijing was also a little shocked at first, but after hearing old master Wen's dry cough, he immediately reacted.

Hearing this, Zhou Rui's uneasy heart calmed down a little, and he said: "No matter what, I was reckless today, and I hope Brother Wen will explain it to me in front of Prime Minister Wen, so that the old man will not angry."

Zhou Rui hummed, and left Wen Shijing very disturbed.Zhou Rui walked towards the harem, Wen Shijing put away the smile on his face, and walked out of the hall with a slightly cold expression.

Lin Songren nodded indiscriminately and said: "Wen Shilang, there is something to do at the official's house today, let's meet again at another day." After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Wen Shijing looked at his back with a thoughtful expression.
On the way Lin Songren hurried home, the concubine Xian in the palace lost her temper with Zhou Rui.
Seeing Zhou Rui's despicable appearance, Concubine Xian almost slapped him in the face.She was so angry that her heart ached and she couldn't say a word.
Zhou Ruidao: "Mother Concubine, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, please speak up. My son is wrong, so don't be angry."
After hearing this, Concubine Xian finally found her voice. She looked at Zhou Rui coldly and said, "I know that you are the eldest prince, but you have no real power.

After Zhou Rui figured it out, his face was always pale and ugly. He rarely calmed down and said: "Mother, concubine, the matter has come to an end, I can't go to the father and say that I don't want to supervise the country. The matter of setting up the crown prince, the matter of setting up the prince, We have to figure out a way."
Concubine Xian couldn't help but said: "I thought you would really do this with your brain."
Concubine Xian has endured in the palace for so many years, she has gone through everything, and her temper has been tempered to the point of home.As a result, Zhou Rui's own life became more and more countdown.
Zhou Rui kept silent with a face of shame, Concubine Xian was also angry, and the anger lingered in her heart, but as Zhou Rui said, the matter has come to an end, and it is useless to say more.
She tried her best to calm down the anger in her heart and said: "You take the time to go to Wen Xiang to reflect. If Wen Xiang is disappointed in you in his heart, it will be a big deal."
Zhou Rui whispered: "Mother, concubine, will Wen meet? No matter what we say, it is also a grasshopper on a rope, and besides, there is still Jingxian."
Concubine Xian said: "If you're not afraid of [-], you're afraid of the eventuality. Besides, you did something wrong. I'm so angry, let alone Wen Xiang."
Zhou Rui didn't dare to refute, he nodded and said: "Mother Concubine, I understand that I will go to Wen Xiang's place after leaving the palace."
Concubine Xian hummed and said: "Didn't the Wen family get news last time that the emperor intends to establish a crown prince? Why is it the supervisor of the country? Besides, the emperor announced the matter just after the queen mother died. Is there any other reason for this? The Wen family got inaccurate information?" After getting the news, the Wen family didn't hide it from Zhou Rui, and they always wanted to lead the matter, just waiting for an opportunity.
Now that the opportunity came, it was Zhou Rui who lost the chain.
Zhou Rui thought for a while and said: "Gu Qinglin got the news. He heard Lin Jinwen mention it, so he told the Wen family. Lin Jinwen is very arrogant, he only cares about his father, and he doesn't care about others. In his eyes, he probably wouldn't lie if he said nothing, could it be possible that the concubine Mu suspects that Gu Qinglin is lying?"
Concubine Xian frowned and said: "Look into this matter carefully. There was fraud in the marriage between Gu Qinglin and Lin Jinwen, and the Wen family couldn't get rid of it. It is inevitable that he would have resentment in his heart because of this, and he may not be sure if he deliberately misled the Wen family."
When Zhou Rui settled down, he still had some ability. He said, "Mother, it's not as convenient for you to investigate this matter. Since it was the father who opened the mouth, he didn't shy away from Lin Jinwen's big mouth. There are many people in the palace. Well, someone might have heard such rumors. I will go test Lin Jinwen tomorrow to see if there is any problem."
Concubine Xian nodded, then glanced at him and sighed: "If you are so calm when encountering anything, this palace won't have to worry so much. Your father is unpredictable, since you have promised to supervise the country Now, you have to be careful everywhere, and restore your image in your father's heart as soon as possible."
Zhou Ruidao: "What my concubine taught me is that my son understands."
Concubine Xian said: "You have not been in the palace for a short time, go out. Let Wen Jingxian come to the palace tomorrow, I have something to tell her."
Zhou Rui agreed, and left the palace.
Lin Jinwen was mentioned in the palace in this room, and Lin Songren in the other room returned to the Lin family as if his butt was on fire, and then he couldn't sit still, so he sent someone to see Lin Jinwen immediately.
Lin Jinwen was drinking the bone soup that Gu Qinglin served for him at the time, and his sleeves were stained with oil, so he said casually after drinking the soup and changing his clothes before going.The boy who came to deliver the message said: "Eldest young master, the master said that if you don't go immediately, the servant will tie you up."
Lin Jinwen looked at the boy's anxious look and snorted coldly: "Is it up to you or me? I said change clothes, if you have the ability, tie me up now?"
Gu Qinglin looked at the boy and said gently: "Young master's soup has been finished, it won't take long to change clothes, just wait for a while."
After saying this, Gu Qinglin helped Lin Jinwen go to the inner room.The boy stood there with an anxious face, it was the first time he saw Lin Songren's face so ugly.
When he arrived in the inner room, Gu Qinglin brought him his clothes and said, "Did something happen to my father? The anxiety on that boy's face doesn't look like a fake."
Lin Jinwen took the gown, changed it out himself and said, "I don't know, maybe something happened in the palace. It's okay, don't worry, he won't do anything to me."
Gu Qinglin hummed, then stood aside and watched Lin Jinwen buckle the buttons on himself.
After tidying up his clothes, Lin Jinwen deliberately pecked against Gu Qinglin's ear and smiled, "Wait for me to come back."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Qinglin's Junyi face.
@@@
When Lin Jinwen arrived at Lin Songren's study, the anger on Lin Songren's face had calmed down. He asked Lin Jinwen to close the door, and then said directly, "You told Prime Minister Wen that the emperor intends to establish a crown prince?"
Lin Jinwen thought about the situation in front of him, but he said with a puzzled expression on his face, "When did I tell Prime Minister Wen that the emperor is going to have a crown prince?"
"You didn't say that?" Lin Songren frowned and said, "You said what Prime Minister Wen said."
"Father, can you make Wen Xiangye reasonable? I have been busy these days with the Queen Mother's death anniversary. I am as busy as a spinning top every day. I go out early and return late. How can I have time to see Wen Xiangye, let alone tell him?" His Majesty is about to set up a crown prince."
Lin Songren saw that his demeanor did not seem to be fake, he frowned tightly, and said in another way: "Then have you heard the emperor talk about the establishment of a crown prince?"
Lin Jinwen nodded and said: "I have heard that. The emperor said that after the death of the queen mother, he will consider establishing a crown prince."
The veins on Lin Songren's forehead showed, he held back the anger in his heart and said, "Why didn't you tell my father about such an important matter?"
Lin Jinwen asked in surprise: "Is this important? We can only see who the emperor wants to establish, and besides, isn't the eldest prince a supervisor of the country? It's a good thing. Father, what are you angry about? Can you be straightforward? White dot."
Lin Songren stared at Lin Jinwen and said, "How did the Wen family know that the emperor is going to appoint a crown prince? Have you ever told others about it?"
Lin Jinwen nodded again: "Yes, I told Gu Qinglin."
Lin Songren frowned even tighter, and he said: "Don't you dislike Gu Qinglin? When can you say that you have a good relationship?"
Lin Jinwen took it for granted, "What's the matter, he's pregnant, and I'm so tired every day, so I'll talk to him when I have nothing to do."
Lin Songren sighed, and he said: "Jinwen, can you be more considerate. I heard that your relationship with the eldest prince is not very good. Take this incident as an example, why didn't you tell Weifu. Weifu can at least be in Explain your contribution to the Wen family and the eldest prince, and the eldest prince will at least remember your kindness. It is also good for you that the eldest prince supervises the country, at least it will not embarrass you."
Lin Jinwen blinked, and said with an innocent expression: "Then what to do, besides, I didn't offend the First Prince, why did he make things difficult for me."
Lin Songren pressed his hands on the table, he felt that he and Lin Jinwen couldn't understand what was done by the dragon and what was done by the sky, he just felt that he wanted to get angry.But in the end he restrained himself from wanting to lose his temper, and said: "If you hear the emperor say something in the future, you must remember to tell your father."
Lin Jinwen said in a low voice, "I see."
Lin Songren waved him away. After Lin Jinwen left, Lin Songren rubbed his head and eyes, only to feel that his head hurts badly when he met Lin Jinwen.
Lin Jinwen didn't change his expression along the way, when he and Gu Qinglin were alone in the room, he said: "The eldest prince is in charge of the country."
Gu Qinglin was surprised: "So fast?"
Lin Jinwen nodded. What he didn't say was that he felt a little bad about this matter, and there were too many eyes focused on him now.Maybe there will be pots falling from the sky, he has to prepare early and divert his attention.
