Gu Chengyu nodded, he was about to establish a crown prince, it would be foolish to leave at this time.
He might be assassinated on the way, and even if the eldest prince is gone, he may not be able to solve the case!
"What happened to the other three princes?" Gu Chengyu thought of Prince Jing. He was definitely not among the candidates chosen by the emperor.
As soon as the crown prince is established, he and the other princes will go to the fiefdom. Can he be willing to do so?
"The second prince doesn't make much noise in the household department. Although he has no achievements, he has no mistakes. Even if those factions want to catch his mistakes, they are helpless."
Yin Kun talked about the second prince, and although the comments in his words were very impressive, Gu Chengyu heard appreciation in his tone.
Could it be that Yin Kun is very optimistic about the second prince and plans to take sides?
When he heard Yin Kun mention the second prince before, his tone was nothing special. It seemed that a lot of things happened in the capital during his return to his hometown.
However, this does not rule out that Yin Kun was originally the second prince, but it was not revealed before.
So now that the crown prince is about to be established, is it possible that Yin Kun suddenly revealed this intention to win over himself and make him become the second prince's party?
But his senior brother had just warned him not to get too close to the princes, so Gu Chengyu thought it was better to find out his senior brother's intentions.
Just when Gu Chengyu's mind was spinning and he wanted to make an innuendo on Yin Kun, Yin Kun talked about the third prince again.
"The third prince was imprisoned by the emperor some time ago. During this period, the emperor was somewhat unkind to him. He was also assigned a leisurely job to supervise the manufacture of weapons at the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry."
Gu Chengyu twitched the corner of his mouth, this was really relaxing.
The Ordnance Bureau has blueprints for manufacturing weapons, so the third prince cannot play a big role.
However, if we can innovate in weapons and put them to practical use, we might actually be able to achieve some political achievements.
"Has there been any change in Prince Jing?" Compared to the first three who were on the surface, Gu Chengyu was more concerned about Prince Jing.
Prince Jing was a man of strategy, forbearance, and unscrupulous. Gu Chengyu felt that this man might do something in private.
However, he didn't know whether officials like Yin Kun could detect it.
He decided that it was necessary to give Yin Kun a warning, and it was better to take more precautions.
Speaking of Prince Jing, Yin Kun looked a little confused.
"Prince Jing's health has improved and he has been in court for more than half a month."
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. Did Prince Jing intend to expose his purpose?
Is this impatient? If he is not exposed, he may really be insulated from the throne.
However, going to court at this juncture, it seems that he does not need to remind himself, even Yin Kun is suspicious of Prince Jing, right?
"As for the errand, the emperor did not let him take it. He only asked him to rest more and recuperate. In the future, even if he goes to the fiefdom, the emperor can feel more at ease."
The emperor's attitude is very resolute! Then the emperor's candidate for the crown prince is definitely not Prince Jing. Do you want to give up the idea of Prince Jing earlier?
After Yin Kun said this, he suddenly asked Gu Chengyu a question that everyone in the court was now very concerned about.
"Jin Yu! Who do you think the emperor will appoint as heir apparent?"
Yin Kun stared at Gu Chengyu closely, as if he wanted to see the depths of the person opposite him in those bright eyes.
Gu Chengyu was stunned when he heard this. He still didn't know if Yin Kun had anything to hide from him.
He sighed secretly, senior brothers are just senior brothers after all, there will be temptations and defenses between them.
Forget it! Just make peace with Yin Kun, and hope that their brothers and sisters can stand on the same front in the future and not become enemies who need to be wary of each other and need to calculate.
Gu Chengyu smiled bitterly and said: "We are junior brothers, and junior brothers will not say false words to senior brothers."
He pondered for a moment and then said: "You also know the emperor's temperament, but I can't guess the holy will."
Yin Kun couldn't help but look a little disappointed. Could it be that Jin Yu was on guard against him? Such words were too perfunctory.
Gu Chengyu ignored Yin Kun's expression and continued: "I'm only talking about my own analysis. Of course, I'm not very familiar with the princes and may have wrong judgments about them. Senior brother, let's see if my analysis is correct."
"Just say it, we brothers should advance and retreat together. If you say it, we can discuss it."
Yin Kun's expression softened a lot, and he was quite satisfied with Gu Chengyu's statement.
"It goes without saying that the eldest prince is capable, but he has a ruthless temper. If our Dayan Dynasty is in troubled times or expanding its territory, then the eldest prince will be the best candidate for the throne."
Yin Kun agreed very much with Gu Chengyu's analysis of the eldest prince.
"The eldest prince certainly has abilities, but he doesn't seem to have a broad mind. If he becomes the prince, he seems to need to cultivate his moral character."
These words made Gu Chengyu glance at Yin Kun. It seemed that in Yin Kun's heart, the eldest prince was not the one he wanted to side with.
"It is rumored that the second prince is kind-hearted by nature, but he is a little indecisive. What about his abilities? I heard that he is still somewhat lacking."
Gu Chengyu used the words rumor and heard, which made Yin Kun narrow his eyes slightly.
"Rumors? What about your own thoughts?"
Yin Kun frowned and picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, seemingly dissatisfied with Gu Chengyu's objective evaluation.
Gu Chengyu smiled slightly as he watched Yin Kun rubbing his fingers with his right hand.
"Senior brother! I only met the second prince once, and we said a few words when we went to court that time. I don't know him, so how can I make rash comments?"
"As for the third prince, who has something to do with Wan Xuenian's death? It's certain that my senior brother doesn't know about it, and the emperor knows it even more clearly, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the third prince to lead the errands of the Arms Bureau. What's more, his maternal family has suffered a big change, and his maternal wife has
Everyone in the family has become a sinner, and there should be many fewer officials in the government supporting him now than before."
A prince without family support has limited abilities. To be honest, he is not optimistic about it.
But he didn't intend to be too absolute. Until the last step, who could know which prince would be crowned the great treasure?
"You mean you don't think highly of the Third Prince?" Yin Kun put down the tea bowl and thought about it.
"Not really, doesn't it mean that the Concubine Xian has the Sacred Heart? Besides, although the Emperor has been somewhat dissatisfied with the Third Prince in the past two years, the Third Prince was still somewhat capable in doing things in the past two years."
Yin Kun rolled his eyes, which meant he didn't say anything.
"Then what do you think of Prince Jing?"
When Yin Kun talked about Prince Jing, his expression was much more serious than before.
"Perhaps Prince Jing is not as indifferent to world affairs as he appears on the surface? I think he still has ambitions for the position of crown prince."
This time Gu Chengyu did not choose to hide it, but his directness made Yin Kun stunned for a moment.
"You mean he is making moves secretly? But he is just an idle prince with no support from outsiders and no errands. Who among the courtiers can support him? Even if he has ambitions, he has more than enough ambition but not enough power. What's more,
