"It is true that Lao Liu became the crown prince." Zhao Zhenghe shook his head and said, "I didn't receive any news in advance, and neither did others."
He saw everyone in the court looking confused and at a loss. Obviously, there was no warning about the position of the prince.
He was dubious about Chu Li's prediction, so he had been keeping an eye on his sixth son, Zhao Zhengli, for the past two months. He found nothing wrong and showed no signs of becoming the prince.
When the announcement was made in the court, Zhao Zhengli also had a blank look on his face, and then he quickly suppressed the surprise and returned to a calm and calm state. His Qi-building skills made him feel unparalleled.
Once the emperor's words have been spoken, they cannot be changed. Golden mouth and jade teeth are no joke, and it is useless for ministers to object.
He felt that his father just didn't want the court to get involved in the fight for the crown prince, so he cut through the mess quickly and announced without warning to put an end to the matter and prevent any waves from spreading.
It is precisely because of this that he has complicated emotions. Firstly, he has no share in the position of prince after all, and secondly, he is convinced of Chu Li's heavenly eyes.
With my father's skill, it is impossible for this kind of thing to be leaked.
He knew that all the brothers would be unconvinced. Prince Li could become a prince, and so could others. It was inevitable that they would have other thoughts.
Zhuang Yuerong said in surprise: "Is it true that Prince Li became the crown prince?"
Zhao Zhenghe nodded: "My father announced it to the court and it cannot be changed... Where is the master?"
"I just came back." Zhuang Yuerong said: "Master is in retreat and wants to practice a secret method. He will ignore secular affairs for a while."
"In this way..." Zhao Zhenghe shook his head helplessly.
Zhuang Yuerong said: "It's better to decide on the position of crown prince. Let's all calm down so that we don't get hurt by fighting over each other."
"It's not that simple." Zhao Zhenghe said: "Do you think my brothers will stop?"
"The crown prince's position has been decided, what else can be done?" Zhuang Yuerong asked: "Do you want to overthrow the crown prince? If it is possible for others, it is impossible for Prince Li."
Prince Li has been mature since he was a child, extremely calm, precise, meticulous, cautious and cautious, and rarely makes mistakes.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to overthrow him by seizing on his mistakes. Once they occupy a position, they will hold it firmly.
Zhao Zhenghe shook his head: "We will try even if it is impossible...forget it, let's ignore them for now and discuss the future with Master first. Da Zheng is dishonest. Judging from the look on my father's face, I'm afraid he wants to use troops."
"Do you want to persuade the emperor?" Zhuang Yuerong then shook his head.
The current emperor is wise and decisive. Once decided, no one can change it. Moreover, the prince has always paid homage to Buddha and is not very involved in court affairs. His words at this time will only be regarded as being endowed with Buddhist compassion.
"I will write the memorial now!" Zhao Zhenghe said solemnly.
"...How about I discuss it with Master?" Zhao Zhenghe pondered for a moment and said slowly.
Zhuang Yuerong said: "Are we going to bring Master to see the Emperor?"
"I wonder if Master will agree." Zhao Zhenghe said.
He knew that his father always had an attitude towards Buddhism and other sects that he wanted to use them for his own purposes but not to indulge in them.
My father only regarded the eminent Buddhist monks as ordinary people, and even looked at them with a bit of scrutiny.
However, my father had always been dismissive of supernatural powers, thinking it was a trick.
But now he has full confidence in Chu Li. He really has great supernatural powers. Even if his father doesn't believe it, he can't veto it.
Once you gain your father's trust, one word from the master can change the general trend of the world. The merits are immeasurable and are extremely beneficial to the master.
Gains are often accompanied by risks. If you want to gain big gains, you have to take big risks. I believe Master will take this risk.
Zhuang Yuerong frowned and said, "Let's forget it."
She felt that this matter was too dangerous. One mistake could lead to death. Besides, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Even if she could get through this, what would happen next?
"Master, let me decide." Zhao Zhenghe said.
Zhuang Yuerong sighed quietly and nodded slowly.
The two came to Chu Li's waterside pavilion.
Chu Li was standing in the small pavilion with his hands behind his hands, his gray monk's robe fluttering, and his eyes looking at the sky, as if he was one with the sky.
When the two met, they felt inexplicably awe, and couldn't help but lighten their steps, slowly walking up the corridor to the small pavilion.
"Master." Zhao Zhenghe tithes.
Chu Li glanced at him and then at Zhuang Yuerong: "Zhenghe, you want me to see the emperor?"
The two of them were startled.
Zhao Zhenghe nodded and said seriously: "Master, today the court has announced that the sixth brother will become the crown prince."
Chu Li opened his jaw.
Zhao Zhenghe said: "I want to introduce the emperor to the master for the master."
Chu Li sighed and said, "Your Majesty is not someone who believes in magical powers."
He also heard about the emperor's temperament and did not believe in supernatural powers.
"We have to give it a try." Zhao Zhenghe said: "Once you gain the trust of your father, the master can build immeasurable power."
Chu Li smiled: "This is a shortcut, has no one ever walked it? I think eminent monks from all sects and sects must be following it, right?"
"At first, several eminent monks met Emperor Father, but they were all expelled by Emperor Father." Zhao Zhenghe nodded: "From then on, the eminent monks no longer went to see Emperor Father."
"That's it." Chu Li nodded.
Zhao Zhenghe said: "Master is different from them. These chief monks cannot achieve supernatural powers, so my father does not believe it. My father is a very practical person, and it is useless to talk nonsense."
"Well..." Chu Li nodded slowly.
In fact, he also wanted to go and see the emperor, but the emperor was not that easy to meet. He didn't just want to meet him. He also had this idea of accepting two princes as his disciples.
Even if no one introduces him, the emperor will meet him sooner or later, wanting to see what kind of person he is as a person who confuses the prince.
Zhao Zhenghe brought it up, which played into his heart.
"Master, do you want to go see your father?" Zhao Zhenghe said.
Chu Li said: "Okay."
Zhao Zhenghe was overjoyed: "Master will definitely be able to convince my father. This alone will create immeasurable merit."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
He didn't have such high hopes. As an emperor, he must be very wary and suspicious. He had to think about whether there was an ulterior motive in everything.
Zhao Zhenghe Heshi said: "Master, please wait for my good news."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhuang Yuerong watched his figure disappear, shook her head and said, "Does master really want to enter the palace?"
Chu Li smiled.
Zhuang Yuerong said: "Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. It is too dangerous to be around the emperor. Not only will the emperor be on guard, but there will also be cold arrows from below."
Once it gets involved in national affairs, the ministers will never sit idly by and will definitely try their best to stop it.
Chu Li said: "Let's take a look."
"The emperor has a decisive character, and he has always had a hard time rubbing his eyes." Zhuang Yuerong said softly: "Be extremely careful."
Chu Li said: "I'll go to the palace and have a look. You and the prince can practice quietly and don't get involved in this matter again."
Zhuang Yuerong shook her head gently: "I've seen the emperor, so I'd better come back and live there."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Then it's not up to me."
Zhuang Yuerong frowned, looking worried.
Zhao Zhenghe came back soon, strode to the pavilion in high spirits and said, "Master, my father has agreed, let's go."
Under Zhuang Yuerong's worried eyes, the two of them walked out of the back garden, left Prince Jing's Mansion, and headed straight to the palace not far away.
