Qin Jiyan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he put them down after just thinking about it. No matter what the old emperor wanted to do with him, it didn't matter to him, because...
He has the political power of Da Qin completely in his hands, and even the old emperor cannot control him. As for military power? After taking over the Feng family, the Yan family and the Cheng family, what else does he have to worry about?
Qin Jiyan always had an expressionless face and cold eyes in front of others. Therefore, except for the little eunuch who just heard the noise outside the door, no one knew that Qin Jiyan was in a bad mood at this time.
After the announcement, Qin Jiyan calmly stepped into the inner hall and saluted the old emperor as usual: "Grandpa Emperor." This is Qin Jiyan, who does not slump when he loses power, is not arrogant when he gains power, and always maintains his "nature"
, I have the air to stand firm and unmoved regardless of whether the wind blows from the southeast, northwest, or southeast.
"Ji Yan, Lord Feng and Lord Jiao have just spoken to advise me to establish the throne as soon as possible." There was nothing strange on the old emperor's face, and it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.
However, you don't need to think about it to know that forcing the emperor to appoint a crown prince is equivalent to forcing him to abdicate in the eyes of the emperor, especially an old and sick emperor who has more on his mind.
Qin Jiyan was not frightened and said: "Master Feng and Master Jiao are too impatient. Grandpa Huang has a long life, so there is no need to rush to establish a heir apparent."
Since the death of the crown prince, people have been making trouble every now and then about appointing a heir apparent. The emperor killed several groups of people before they could calm down. However, this was an unusual time. The old emperor wanted to not appoint a heir apparent until he had an emergency.
The Qin Dynasty will be in chaos.
"You kid, aren't you willing to tell the truth in front of the emperor?" The old emperor had a loving face, but there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
It was not directed at Qin Jiyan, but at himself.
He is old...
"My grandson is telling the truth. Grandpa Huang is in good health. There is no need to rush to establish the throne." The political power of Da Qin is in his hands, and it does not matter who sits on the throne.
"I have lived to this day and can be regarded as a long-lived emperor. I am satisfied. Lord Jiao and Lord Feng are right. The matter of the crown prince is of great concern to the country and the country, and it is indeed not appropriate to delay it any longer." The old emperor sighed longly and suddenly decided to stand up.
Saved.
Originally, he had thought about giving the Zen position to Qin Jiyan, but now he is just the crown prince. Speaking of which, he can still be the emperor for two more years. At least he will be the emperor before his death, not some overlord.
Qin Jiyan said nothing...
The old emperor continued: "Tomorrow, I will announce the appointment of the crown prince at the morning meeting."
Qin Jiyan remained silent and looked calm, as if he didn't care at all who the crown prince was.
For some reason, the old emperor felt a little uncomfortable and said angrily: "Ji Yan, play a game of chess with me." He wanted to see how calm this kid could be.
Can you resist the temptation of the throne?
"Yes..." Qin Jiyan calmly sat down aside. When the palace servants brought the chessboard, before the old emperor could sit down, he picked up a sunspot and dropped it.
His attitude remained calm and calm. Qin Jiyan showed with his actions that the matter of establishing the crown prince did not have any impact on him.
The old emperor had just recovered from a serious illness and was not in good spirits. The reason why he asked Qin Jiyan to play chess with him was to see if Qin Jiyan was really as calm as he appeared. But as soon as he made a move, he discovered that his character
The unstable person is himself.
"No more games." Halfway through the chess game, the old emperor moved the chess game. Qin Jiyan didn't say anything, but just put away the chess pieces.
"Grandpa Huang, get some rest early, grandson, please leave." Qin Jiyan stood up and left perfectly.
The old emperor looked at Qin Jiyan's back with complicated eyes.
If he had been half as calm as Ji Yan back then, Da Qin might not be like this.
Sigh... The old emperor sighed and stood up holding the hand of his confidant eunuch, "You said, Ji Yan was born in the royal family, why doesn't he care about the throne?"
The old emperor could see that Qin Jiyan really didn't care. Of course, the old emperor ignored another possibility, which was that Qin Jiyan was sure of victory and didn't need to care.
"Your Highness the King of Qin, this is filial piety. He will keep what you give to him, and he will not force you to give him anything." As the old emperor's confidant eunuch, he knows better than others who the next emperor of Qin will be, and he doesn't mind at all.
Speak well of the future emperor.
"Oh, if only my sons were like Ji Yan." Thinking of King Ning who committed suicide due to treason, and King Zhao who fled to the northwest and started a rebellion, the old emperor felt a headache.
"In my whole life, I really have no destiny for having sons." Two of his five sons died, and King Zhao was afraid that he would not survive.
"Now I just hope that the other two can live in peace. Although Ji Yan is cold-hearted, he has never been the type to kill anyone. As long as they live in peace, they will be rich and wealthy throughout their lives." The old emperor sighed, saying that he too
The possibility of not believing it.
Naturally, the confidant eunuch would not say anything that would displease the old emperor at this juncture. Instead, he said a few words about the kindheartedness of the King of Qin, and that the King of Zhou and the fifth prince would surely be rich and prosperous.
The old emperor was in low spirits. After drinking the medicine, he fell into a deep sleep. The confidant eunuch stayed by his side for a long time. Seeing that the old emperor was sleeping soundly, he quietly withdrew. He found a young eunuch in the main hall and whispered a few words to him,
Then he brought a cup of ginseng tea back.
Because King Zhao escaped from the capital, the rebellion could not be concealed. The officials who had been close to King Zhao were all replaced by Qin Jiyan with thunderous means. A large number of official positions became vacant, and Qin Jiyan took the opportunity to transfer his confidants to the capital.
As an official, more than half of the people in the court were from the King of Qin. At the same time, the King of Qin also transferred Jing Yan away from the household department and no longer allowed him to participate in the affairs of Da Qin Bank.
The fifth prince felt that the bank was already open, so Jing Yan was no longer important. Qin Jiyan issued an order, but the fifth prince didn't even say a word to persuade him to stay, so he asked Jing Yan to report to the Ministry of Justice.
In the view of the fifth prince, the bank has already been established, and there is no need for him to keep Jing Yan to compete with him for credit.
Jing Yan never thought about competing with the fifth prince for credit, but the fifth prince's move was really chilling. Jing Yan originally wrote a set of emergency measures for the bank affairs, and he had already written it to the end. He wanted to leave it to the fifth prince, so
Allowing the fifth prince to take full control of the Qin Bank would cause more trouble for the King of Qin. However, the fifth prince's behavior made Jing Yan extremely dissatisfied. Jing Yan simply threw the book into a corner without any intention of taking it out.
That night, Jing Yan was at Yuci's residence. Before the official business was finished, his spies came to report: "Master, there is news from the palace that the emperor will appoint a heir tomorrow."
Jing Yan was startled, and then smiled, "It's finally decided, faster than I expected. Sure enough, God can't predict what's going on."
However, it’s just that the reserve position has been reserved. If you don’t sit in that position, anything is possible. Wasn’t the prince killed in the same way back then?
