Chapter 34

The entire capital was boiling because of the decree issued by Emperor Longxi at the Great Court Meeting.But no matter whether they were already standing or they were neutral officials, they were all dumbfounded by this result.Even though they knew that the crown prince was extremely capable, Emperor Longxi's attitude made them think that it was impossible for the crown prince to succeed to the throne.The current development is beyond the expectations of too many people.

What happened in the court has nothing to do with Yaerlin.But he also heard the news, and he knew that Jia Shishi and Jia Zheng were discussing something in the Rongqing hall all day long, and even invited the Shi family's cousin and the Wang family's uncle under the pretext of admiring flowers. Come over, Jia Zhen from the East Mansion is also a guest of honor.

"This old lady in our family really has a big heart." Sensing Jia Shishi's conversation with several people, Yaerlin shook his head and sighed.If it hadn't been for his arrival to change everything, he could guess what kind of situation this old Fengjun would bring the Rongguo Mansion to.

Although Ya'erlin had never been an emperor or king, but he was also a superior, but he could guess some thoughts of Emperor Longxi and the princes under him.If Emperor Longxi had not been persuaded by him, the final successor to the throne would definitely not be the perilous Crown Prince, nor would it be the lineage of Concubine Zhen, who is extremely prosperous.

Emperor Longxi's original intention should be to pass on the throne to his favorite eldest son, but His Royal Highness is not such a simple role.Having been oppressed by the concubine's son for so many years, Ya'erlin did not believe that the prince would not have thoughts in his heart.

His Royal Highness is not low-handed. He has been suppressed for so many years, but he is still the prince, which shows a point.If he was a little careless, Emperor Longxi would definitely grab his braid and destroy him.But in the past 30 years, the positions of his eldest son and prince seem not so secure, but they still sit on them.

In this way, when the prince finally has to step towards destruction, he will inevitably pull a few backs.And the first choice for this support must be Zhen Guifei's family.As long as the crown prince drags the eldest son and the third son into the water with the last blow, Concubine Zhen will have no hope.

Yes, Concubine Zhen Gui has three sons, but the youngest one is less than ten years old now, so how could it be his turn!

The Rongqing hall was full of joy, but Yaerlin squinted and sneered in his inner study.This Jia Shishi really didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, it was all about this, and he still wanted to send Jia Yuanchun into the palace!However, the goal of being the eldest prince's concubine was changed to being the prince's concubine.

Is a woman so important to the Rongguo Mansion, to the historians and the Wang family?

Wang Ziteng, knowing that neither he nor Mrs. Wang had the intention of sending Jia Yuanchun into the palace, unexpectedly agreed to Jia Shishi at this time to help clear up the relationship between the palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Yarlin sighed a long time. He originally planned to act after the ninth day of September, but now it seems that these people really don't give him any time.Thinking about meeting Emperor Longxi three days later, how to negotiate terms with him, and how to let the prince know about his role in Emperor Longxi's abdication, Yaerlin withdrew his perception.

No matter how hard that group of people dance, can they beat the imperial power?

Ya'erlin, who was ready to use his power to overwhelm others, had always used his strength to crush other people when he was in the mainland of Nice, and he would never understand the opportunistic intentions of people like Jia Shishi.They failed to stand before, and in order to have wealth and glory far surpassing others, they only made plans on women.

****

On this day, the crown prince seriously wore the booklet given to him by Emperor Longxi in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Ever since Emperor Longxi announced that he was going to abdicate on the ninth day of September, he had always let the prince accompany him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.From the very beginning when the crown prince asked him to answer, then occasionally gave him guidance, and now the crown prince can completely approve all the memorials by himself, and it only takes about ten days.

Although Emperor Longxi originally had other thoughts in his heart, they were completely dispelled during this period of time.

Emperor Longxi chose to abdicate in order to practice magic with Yaerlin, and if he were to abdicate, the crown prince would be the natural heir.Emperor Longxi didn't like the crown prince, but he couldn't go against the rules and regulations. What he originally thought was that if the crown prince was incompetent in state affairs before he abdicated, he would have a reason to abolish him and let him personally educate the crown prince. The eldest son will be the prince.

However, the prince's performance was really amazing.Even if he doesn't like it, he has to admit that the prince is much better than his other princes.

Emperor Longxi's thoughts were complicated, but there was one thing, no matter how much he loved Concubine Zhen, he did not abolish the empress and let her take over.After all, he is an emperor anyway.Since he is an emperor, he has no right to be willful.Of course, this is also because Queen Wang has always been very disciplined, never overstepping the threshold, and never giving him a chance to abolish the empress.

As an emperor, as a self-proclaimed emperor, Emperor Longxi could not abolish such an excellent heir as the prince.

Emperor Longxi was a cruel person. Once he really made the decision to hand over the country to the crown prince, he immediately changed his attitude towards the crown prince and queen.Concubine Zhen Guifei's private pillow style finally lost its former effect. At the critical moment when Emperor Longxi was about to pursue the avenue of longevity, he became the calmest emperor and chose the prince who was the best for his empire's development as his successor.

The courtiers in the court immediately understood Emperor Longxi's intentions, and all of them obediently ran errands under the arrangement of the prince.As for the ministers who once stood up, at this time, unless they are the mother clan of the princes or diehard loyalists who cannot be turned, there are a few who will continue to die.

As long as there is life, there will eventually be a chance to make the family prosperous and to be a high-ranking official.

What's more, the prince's age is not young, as long as they wait a few years, maybe they will have a chance to choose again.

The prince's attitude towards these courtiers who obviously had a relationship with him remained the same as before, neither getting close nor rejecting them.This kind of him obviously reassured the hearts of these people, and made more and more people draw closer to him.The Crown Prince was obviously skeptical of Emperor Longxi's various attitudes. Even though Emperor Longxi's attitude made it easier for him to control the government and the army, he still did not dare to relax.

But today, the prince couldn't believe it even more, glaring at Emperor Longxi who was looking at him with a smile all over his face.

"Father, what did you say just now?" The prince's voice was erratic, because what Emperor Longxi said before made him completely unacceptable.

"I'm asking you if you've finished approving the paperwork. If you're done, go change your clothes and I'll take you out of the palace for a stroll." Emperor Longxi was in a good mood and repeated what he said before with a smile.

The prince had an expression of "Father, you have a fever", but after all, his age and experience were there, so he quickly restrained his expression: "Today's papers have been approved, and most of them are papers for please. Son I'm going back to the East Palace to change into ordinary clothes, please wait a moment, father."

"No need, I will let Dai Quan go to the East Palace to find the Crown Princess and get a set of your regular clothes." Emperor Longxi waved his hands, "You go directly to the side hall to change."

"Thank you, Father." The prince bowed and thanked, and followed Dai Quan, who was carrying a tray, to the side hall.

Dai Quan was about the same age as the crown prince, and was the chief eunuch who had served Emperor Longxi personally for many years.In the past neither the queen nor the crown prince had the chance to get in touch with him, but now, Emperor Longxi took the initiative to let him have more contact with the crown prince.

All kinds of stakes, little by little, showed that Emperor Longxi really wanted to pass the throne to the crown prince.But, he just couldn't believe it.The crown prince has long passed the age of struggling to have a father, and he and Emperor Longxi not only lack the friendship between father and son, but also have no father-son relationship.

The crown prince would not refuse Emperor Longxi's approach, which was a good thing for him.

If there is a chance to continue to live, it is still the chance to live with the most noble status in this dynasty, the prince is unwilling to give up no matter what.

The prince originally thought that Emperor Longxi wanted to take him around the capital to foster a father-son bond.Unexpectedly, after the carriage left the Meridian Gate, it went directly to Baihu Street, and finally stopped in front of a teahouse.

After getting off the carriage, the prince looked up at the plaque in the teahouse - there was a teahouse - he knew that this teahouse was the dowry of a princess married by the royal family in the early years, and later passed on to her and the descendants of the consort.That descendant seems to be a Fuguo Duke now?

Emperor Longxi brought him here today to let him meet the clan members?No, Fu Guogong is the descendant of the princess and the son-in-law, so he can't be regarded as a member of the clan.

The confused prince followed Emperor Longxi to the third floor and walked into a private room.When he saw the young man sitting at the table holding a teacup and sipping, the prince's pupils shrank suddenly.

The young man who saw him and Emperor Longxi coming in not only didn't get up to salute, but nodded to his father Emperor Longxi leisurely.However, his royal father did not reprimand the young son for being impolite, instead he walked forward with a smile: "Nephew Lao Jia has been waiting for a long time."

After the prince experienced the fear that he couldn't close his mouth before, seeing Emperor Longxi like this again has calmly accepted it.Of course, this was only on the surface. In fact, in private, he was so frightened that he couldn't even stand upright.

Although the young prince had never seen it with his own eyes, he had seen his portrait.If he still doubted the identity of this young master before, he could be 100% sure after hearing Emperor Longxi call him "Nephew Jia".

This young son is Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, who caught his attention after Qiu Wei last year.

The prince has always disliked the Eight Dukes assigned to him by Emperor Longxi, not to mention that each of them has no military power, and they still rely on their ancestors' meritorious deeds to dominate.Therefore, after a famous Juren was found in the eight kilometers, he couldn't help but pay more attention.

Then the information about Jia Zhu, who was said to be good at reading since he was a child, was placed on his desk. Although he has no status in the palace, it is still possible to investigate one or two people.The Langya royal family basically ignored their mother and son, but after he became the prince, they still arranged some forces for him.

The crown prince was delighted at that time, but before he had time to meet Jia Zhu, he saw in the information that he had been ill since Qiu Wei, and he had reached the point where his lamp was exhausted.The expression on the prince's face froze like that, and he could only laugh at himself in the end.

He even forgot that this Hachiko was a force clearly under him, how could his good brothers watch helplessly as someone who could help him appeared in the court.
