Compared with standing up, the matter of establishing the crown prince is the real scuffle and smoke in the court.
At this time of fighting with swords, even the King of Yan no longer kept a low profile. The officials who asked King Yan to be the crown prince submitted memorials one after another, and the imperial papers were almost piled up.
The King of Han was not to be outdone. With the full support of the Cao family, the help of King Zhao, and the support of Prince Fu, the momentum of establishing the crown prince was not much worse than that of King Yan.
All kinds of news about the happenings in the court flew into Prince Qin's mansion like snowflakes.
The King of Qin, who was under house arrest, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He wanted to rush out of the Prince of Qin's palace and rush into the palace immediately.
There are also memorials supporting the king of Qin as the heir. However, there are only a few pitiful ones, and they are buried among the huge number of memorials, which are almost negligible.
"No, I want to go into the palace to see my father!" King Qin paced back and forth in the study like a trapped animal, muttering to himself from time to time.
The staff looked at each other.
The King of Qin repeatedly submitted memorials, but they were like stone cows entering the sea. Emperor Long'an had no intention of being soft-hearted. Without the emperor's imperial edict, the King of Qin could not leave the palace of the King of Qin at all, let alone enter the palace to meet the Holy Emperor.
"What can you do to get me out of the palace?" King Qin's next sentence indeed asked the most fatal question.
One of the staff members said bravely: "I do have a plan. However, this plan will offend His Highness. I wonder if His Highness can endure the next breath of sulking!"
King Qin glared at him impatiently and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you have any plans, tell me quickly."
The staff member whispered.
King Qin frowned and looked gloomy. After a long time, he sighed heavily.
At this time, the chamberlain "Xiao Xi" was working in the yard.
"Xiao Xi" didn't talk much, and worked quickly and diligently. The other two servants in the study were happy to be lazy, and most of the trivial matters fell on "Xiao Xi".
The guards were also accustomed to this little chamberlain who was taciturn and had a very low sense of presence, and they did not shy away from speaking.
"I heard that today another official has submitted a memorial, asking the emperor to make King Yan the crown prince."
"The King of Han is still too young after all. He has only been on the job for a few years and has not done any decent errands. Compared with King Yan, he is far behind."
"It's a pity that our Highness has been trapped in the palace. Otherwise, there would be nothing wrong with the King of Han today..."
"Shh! Shut up! If the master hears it, your life will be at stake."
Feng Shaojun pricked his ears and listened silently.
At this moment, the study door suddenly opened.
Eunuch Zhao glanced at him and nodded at one of his guards: "Guard Xue, please come in. His Highness has something to tell you."
Xue Ting nodded in agreement and followed Eunuch Zhao into the study. After about a cup of tea, Xue Ting left the study and left with a solemn expression.
What will King Qin do?
Feng Shaojun narrowed his eyes slightly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the evening, His Highness King Yan led a group of personal guards into King Qin's Mansion.
It turned out that Xue Ting left the palace today on the order of the King of Qin to deliver a message to the King of Yan. Moreover, he went to the Ministry of Punishment in full public view. He said sincerely in front of the officials of the Ministry of Punishment: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, has something important to ask of me. Please ask Yan.
After His Majesty's return to office today, he will go to Prince Qin's Mansion."
At the critical moment of establishing the crown prince, King Yan became more and more careful in his words and actions, and would never fall into the trap of others. He could not refuse in front of everyone.
Therefore, after leaving the Yamen, King Yan came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to see what King Qin was performing.
King Yan brought more than ten personal guards with him, and Shen You was among them. He was tall, long-legged, handsome in face, and stern in his eyes, which attracted the most attention.
Feng Shaojun, who was standing in the corner, looked at Shen You from a distance with a "Xiaoxi" expression on his face.
There was no unnecessary expression on Shen You's face. He glanced at her from afar.
Feng Shaojun felt slightly sweet, but he didn't stay too long to avoid arousing suspicion and quickly left.
…
At this time, the drama of "asking for forgiveness" was going on in the study.
King Qin stopped lying on the bed and pretended to be sick, and stopped sarcastic. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply: "Second brother, I apologize to you."
King Yan was also a little shocked.
What is the temper of King Qin? He is arrogant and does not care about anyone. In the past, when King Qin was in glory, he could only bow his head and tolerate.
Now, the King of Qin was willing to bow his head to apologize to him!
This feeling is really... wonderful!
King Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help King Qin: "Brother, please get up quickly. Where do I start with the word apology?"
King Qin did not stand up, and still maintained his apology posture: "That incident last year was caused by my impulse and almost made a big mistake."
"Luckily you are safe and sound. Otherwise, my brother would not be able to see you."
"I did something wrong and I deserve to be punished. My father asked me to stay and reflect. Over the past year, every time I think about what happened that day, I break out in a cold sweat and am endlessly afraid."
"Second brother, I can't help you. If you want to hit or scold me, just come and I will bear it. I just ask you, second brother, to forgive me this time."
King Qin lived for forty years and never bowed his head to anyone.
This sincere apology was filled with blood and tears.
In order to understand the ban, the King of Qin risked his face.
A deep sarcasm flashed in King Yan's eyes, and he sighed: "This is all in the past, why are you still mentioning him? To be honest, brother, I feel bad every time I think about this."
"You and I are blood brothers. No matter when or for whatever reason, we should never come to the point of killing each other."
"No matter how angry my father was, he still saved my eldest brother's face by hastily closing the case and allowing him to be grounded on the grounds of recuperation. It's been a year now, and my father's anger should have subsided."
"Don't worry, brother. I will go to the palace tomorrow to see my father and plead with him. I beg your father to allow me to come to the palace to see you."
King Qin's face was full of shame, his eyes were shining, and he choked with sobs: "Second brother! You are so broad-minded, it really makes me ashamed."
"I am indeed far inferior to you."
"You should be the crown prince of Da Qi. When my father is willing to see me, I will tell him and ask him to make my second brother the prince."
This was the plan given by the staff to King Qin.
First, he should plead guilty to Jing, and in exchange for benefits, he could persuade the King of Yan to intercede for the King of Qin. It is an indisputable fact that the King of Yan has the upper hand at the moment, so he should simply recommend the King of Yan as the crown prince first.
There will always be a chance for a comeback in the future.
King Qin was also forced to have no choice but to bow his head.
King Yan was happy in his heart, and his face was not leaking: "Brother, these words really upset me. Brother, hurry up and get up."
King Qin then stood up.
The two brothers confessed their feelings and cleared up their old grudges. They regained their former closeness while talking. King Yan comforted King Qin and then left.
The King of Qin personally escorted the King of Yan out of the palace.
The next day, King Yan entered the palace to face the Holy Emperor, and he opened his mouth to plead for King Qin: "...Father, my eldest brother has been recovering from illness for a full year, and his body has already recovered. Please call me to the palace."
