The ninth prince did not expect that the emperor would allow him to express his opinions. To be honest, in his heart, he would rather let the eighth prince ascend the throne in the future.
The talents of the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are obvious to all. His own brother, the fifth elder brother, can just be an idle prince. As for the major affairs of the government, he may not have the means of the eighth elder brother.
After Jiu Age thought for a moment, he twitched his lips, glanced at the surrounding ministers and the emperor's brothers, and finally his eyes fell on Huang Ama sitting in the Jinluan Palace, and then he spoke slowly.
"Emperor Ama, I think that Eighth Brother is more suitable for the position of Crown Prince than Fifth Brother, not to mention that Fifth Brother has no interest in the throne. There is also the rumor that spread in the capital before."
The official who recommended Yinqi moved his cheeks when he heard this. He glanced at Prince Lian, the fourth elder brother, who was standing next to Yinqi with some anxiety. He found that the fourth elder brother had no instructions on his hands, feet or face, so the official had no choice but to
I swallowed the words I was about to say again.
He turned to look at the emperor sitting in the Jinluan Palace with a respectful look, but the expression on the emperor's face was very calm, and the official could not see anything that could make him doubtful.
After a long while, the emperor asked in a deep voice: "What rumors?"
The officials and princes below were all stunned. Those with relatively good memories remembered the nursery rhyme that had been circulated in the capital a long time ago, while those who didn't know the rumor looked at each other.
"Does any of you know?" Seeing that no one answered, the emperor hurriedly asked again.
As a result, the fourteenth elder brother stood up and replied with a frown: "I know, Emperor Ama, it's because the nine sons of the dragon are different. The fourth son took the dragon chair to sit on, the eighth son and the nine sons lost their lives, and the other six sons did not
Better than' rumors."
When the fourth elder brother heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he quickly walked to the center of the Qianqing Palace and knelt down, with a somewhat uneasy look on his face, and then said with some fear: "Huang Ama, these rumors are clearly deceiving the public.
I might be suspected of sowing discord."
When this nursery rhyme first came out, the fourth elder brother was really shocked. The nursery rhyme showed the conflicts between him and the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother both inside and outside. I am afraid that anyone with a little knowledge will misunderstand this nursery rhyme.
Think of him and his two royal brothers.
After the emperor heard the words of the fourteenth elder brother, he also recalled the scene when Liang Jiugong reported this nursery rhyme to him. The emperor also sent secret guards to investigate in private at that time, and found that the fourth elder brother did indeed treat the eighth elder brother and the eighth elder brother.
Brother Ninth was on guard.
Coupled with the prince's ridiculous behavior at that time, the emperor decided that this nursery rhyme might have some hints, and he became more suspicious of the fourth elder brother. When he thought of the situation of the other eight sons in the rumor, the emperor looked at the kneeling man on the ground with a dark look on his face.
Fourth brother.
Then he said angrily and sternly: "Brother Si, please get up. Since it's just a rumor, why should you take it to heart?"
The fourth elder brother stood up quickly, but seeing the emperor's expression seeming a little unhappy, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
After he stood still, he sighed helplessly in his heart: I am afraid that he will never be able to be crowned emperor in this life.
Next, what the emperor said made Fourth Prince fall to the bottom.
"Since all the ministers have recommended the Eighth Prince, the Ministry of Rites will draft the regulations for the appointment of the crown prince as soon as possible."
For a while, the voices of congratulations to the eighth prince in the court continued. The eighth prince was also very surprised. He did not expect that Emperor Ama would appoint him as the prince. His efforts in government affairs in the past few years were finally not in vain. Your Majesty
Naturally, I was also impressed by him.
Of course, the fourth elder brother also joined the team to congratulate the eighth elder brother. Although he tried his best to hide his emotions, it could still be seen from his eyes that he was in a very unhappy mood.
After Wanyue heard Yinqi talking about the emperor announcing Yinhu as the prince in the palace, her mouth suddenly opened in an O shape, a little unbelievable. She originally thought it would take at least three to five years for the emperor to give up.
I had no idea that the Eighth Prince would be crowned prince so soon.
Seeing that Wanyue seemed to be confused, Yinqi thought she didn't believe it, so he said again seriously: "This is absolutely true. Emperor Ama has already ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter of establishing the crown prince."
Wanyue was stunned for a while, blinked her eyes and looked at Yinqi, and replied: "I didn't expect that the eighth brother would be appointed as the prince so quickly. I think the fourth brother should also give up on the throne, right?"
Hearing this, Yinqi tugged Wanyue's hand and said, "Don't worry about fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law. Huang Ama has already established a prince. I believe that fourth brother will not openly refute Huang Ama's decision."
Bar."
Wanyue laughed muffledly, Yinqi really didn't understand his fourth brother, and had no idea that he was a ruthless character.
While being happy for the eighth brother, Wanyue thought about it and asked Yinqi: "The eighth brother has been appointed as the prince by the emperor. Why don't we bring some congratulatory gifts to the eighth brother's house to congratulate him? If he moves in
In the palace, we can't see each other all the time. I also stopped by to see Siyan."
Yinqi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wanyue's belly with strange eyes, "You are still pregnant, so it is not close to the eighth brother's house, why don't you forget it?"
Aunt Li, who was standing behind Wanyue, couldn't help but said: "Yes, Miss, what the prince said is absolutely true. You are pregnant now. I went to celebrate and was worried that your body would not be able to bear it."
Seeing that neither Yinyin Qi nor Nanny Li wanted to go to Prince Yong's Mansion to congratulate her, Wanyue quickly waved her hands and began to say something nice and sweet: "Your Majesty, just let me go. The fetus in my belly has been stabilized, and everything will be fine."
Yes, besides, my eighth brother has been made the crown prince, it would be unreasonable for us not to congratulate him."
Yinqi couldn't resist her, thinking that Wanyue was usually close to his eighth brother, so he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
As a result, the two of them arrived a few feet away from Prince Yong's Mansion and found that the carriage had stopped for a long time. The driver looked around anxiously at the crowded crowd in front and couldn't help but sigh. Wanyue and Yinqi heard this and were curious.
They opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look, only to find that the entrance to the palace was blocked and it was difficult for their carriage to move forward.
Yinqi glanced at Wanyue and asked worriedly: "It seems that the carriage will not be able to move forward for a while. Let's dismount and walk over."
Wanyue nodded, and Yinqi helped her get out of the carriage. As soon as they got off the carriage, they seemed to be noticed by the officials who came to congratulate and were blocked in Prince Yong's Mansion.
All the officials first greeted Yinzhi and Wanyue politely, and then got out of the way, and then they were able to enter Prince Yong's palace.
However, the officials at the door were stopped by Prince Yong's guards, who bluntly said that it was not appropriate for Prince Yong to have contact with the ministers at the moment. As long as the ministers care about the people, Prince Yong will naturally not treat them badly in the future.
After hearing the words of the guards at the gate of Prince Lian's palace, the ministers left angrily.
