"Your Majesty, I have some objections." How could Bian Shengrong, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, watch helplessly as he missed out on the crown prince's position to the eldest prince?
So he couldn't wait to jump out. This was not the time to hide it. Anyway, everyone had already been at odds before, so why should he be polite now?
The emperor glanced at Bian Shengrong and asked, "What objection does Bian Aiqing have?"
The second prince and his family were a little dazed before, but when Bian Shengrong raised objections, they all woke up.
The second prince really didn't expect that his father would make him the crown prince. After all, his father's attitude towards him and his eldest brother were completely different.
He thought of how his mother had comforted him yesterday, saying that he had great hope of becoming a prince. He originally thought that his mother was afraid that he would be discouraged, so he thought of comforting him.
I didn’t expect that today my father would announce that he would be crown prince. Could it be that the queen mother had already obtained his father’s approval? Or had the queen mother reached some agreement with his father?
After all, he didn't think his father valued him much. His biggest reliance was his status as his legitimate son. And his mother was still alive, otherwise the situation would have been different.
"Your Majesty, I think the eldest prince's temperament is just more decisive than others! But I don't think there is anything wrong with this. As a decision-maker, how can you develop an indecisive temperament? Your Highness is indeed generous and kind, and he always works for the people.
Think about it. But we still have Daxing watching at the border of Dayan Dynasty. If you are too soft-tempered, how can you deter those ambitious Daxing people?"
If the second prince really becomes the prince, then those of the eldest prince's lineage will not have an easy time in the future.
Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. When the second prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, officials like them who are on the wrong side will not be reused.
It cannot be said that he should be mediocre and inactive in the officialdom. The best ending would be to wait until he reaches an official position and enjoy his old age.
After all, although the second prince has a kind temperament, officials from his lineage are not easy to mess with. How can these people let them go?
It is possible to be demoted and sent to a bitter cold land, or to lose one's official position and remove one's armor. The one who is having the most fun now may even lose the lives of his entire family.
For the prosperity of the family and for his own wealth and life, Bian Shengrong had to fight for the eldest prince and himself at this time.
The eldest prince's face was a little pale, and his face was even more gloomy. He looked vaguely at the officials behind him, and locked his eyes on the person standing a few people away.
"I second the proposal!" Qin Hao, the right minister of the Ministry of War, came out. He was a little helpless. He had never stated his position before.
But now, he had to support the eldest prince, probably because he had something in the hands of the eldest prince.
Dai Yuanji glanced at Qin Hao in surprise. He had no idea that Qin Hao was actually from the eldest prince's lineage.
Fortunately, he had always taken good care of Qin Mao before, and wanted to draw him into his camp. Unexpectedly, the other party always pretended to be stupid, declined his solicitation several times, and said that he wanted to be a pure minister.
After doing this several times, Dai Yuanji was no longer willing to rush forward. He observed for a long time and found that the other party was not an official of any faction, so he gave up!
Qin Hao was so well hidden! He was simply caught off guard.
If the emperor hadn't made the second prince the crown prince today, he really wouldn't have been able to see the other prince's true face!
Humph! No matter how deeply he hides it, so what? The emperor still cares about the second prince. It seems that the importance he attached to the eldest prince before was all an illusion.
He just said it! The emperor is so shrewd, how could he let others see his plans?
His daughter is the eldest concubine of the Duke of Qin, and the eldest princess and the second prince are the same mother. When the second prince ascends the throne, their Dai family will be prominent for hundreds of years.
Dai Yuanji felt very comfortable when he thought about it. He was no longer so angry about Qin Hao's ignorance.
Not only was the second prince knocked unconscious by the pie, but even Xia Qing was a little confused.
He glanced at the Emperor in shock, pondering the Emperor's intentions in his heart. If the Emperor really cared about His Highness, then why did he value His Highness so much before?
Could it be that the emperor's intention was to make His Highness a shield for His Highness and to temper His Highness's cause?
The more Xia Qing thought about it, the more likely it seemed that the emperor had never valued His Highness at all. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
The emperor is still the same emperor as before. As long as there is someone who wants to scheme against someone, the emperor will do anything.
Now that this method is used on my son, he is really not merciless at all!
"Your Majesty! I think what Mr. Bian said is reasonable. Now that Daxing is about to make a move, I am also afraid that His Highness is not decisive enough in handling matters, which will give Daxing an opportunity."
"I second the proposal!" Huo Huaizhong stepped forward. Now they should unite with the eldest prince and bring down the second prince first.
"I second the proposal!"
The third prince's angry eyes glanced at his second brother, a dog that bites but never barks. The second brother, like the fourth brother, is used to making secret moves.
A person who likes to pretend to be kind and adopt a moderate approach makes people think that this person is not the biggest threat. He was really wrong before.
A man who likes to fill medicine jars and spends the whole day recuperating at home, acting like he doesn't care about anything. But secretly he reaches out to the court and has a foot in everything, and he is never lenient in secretly committing evil acts.
My father usually seemed to value his eldest brother so much, but when it came time to establish a prince, he actually chose his second brother.
The second prince took a deep breath. Since his father chose him, he wanted to express his gratitude.
But at this moment, with so many ministers objecting, he naturally had to fight back and fight against all opinions.
"To my father, thank you very much for trusting me. I know that I am not decisive enough in dealing with things, and I am not as good as my elder brother in this regard. But after I become the prince, I should correct this flaw, and I will not let my father down.
Please wait and see, ministers."
The emperor looked at the second prince and saw that the other prince was not overjoyed and seemed to be quite calm.
When I heard the second prince's remarks again, I felt a little more satisfied than before.
"You can do great things if you know your mistakes and can correct them. If you can recognize your own shortcomings, this is a strength. Besides, no one is a saint, how can anyone be without faults? My dear friends, Zhao Dun's temperament is indeed a bit soft, but that is also his
His strengths. He is tolerant and kind, and he will definitely be a benevolent king in the future. And from now on, under my personal guidance, I will be able to correct this flaw of his."
Once the emperor has made a decision, he will not change it.
Whether everyone opposes it or supports it, this matter is a foregone conclusion.
The eldest prince blurted out, "Father" with a livid face.
The emperor's sharp eyes glanced over and swallowed the words that were about to come to the eldest prince's lips.
The look in his eyes was warning, displeased, and a bit cold and cruel.
The eldest prince was stunned. His father had never looked at him like this before. He suddenly didn't know how to speak. 13
