Peng Yuhao was speechless. He didn't even dare to reply at this moment. He felt the daggers all around him being thrown at him, and he wanted to cry without tears.
Is this the point? It's obviously not the case! He just wanted to say that since Liang Zhirui has retired from office, he shouldn't bother him anymore.
You are so old, how good is it to take care of yourself?
Ah! That’s not right! Isn’t this still too old?
Peng Yuhao is completely Spartan, he has fallen into the cycle of age.
The emperor snorted coldly and shouted: "Who else has any objection?"
Xia Qing, who was standing in the front row, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He originally thought that the prince and grand master was his treasure, but who would have thought that he would be defeated by his subordinate and get there first.
Back then, he pulled Liang Zhirui from the position of chief minister, but he didn't expect that Liang Zhirui would come back again today.
This apprentice was difficult to deal with originally, but with Liang Zhirui in the mix, it became even more difficult to deal with.
Xia Qing felt a heavy sense of crisis in his heart. He felt that the emperor was becoming more and more impatient with him.
It seemed that his plan had to be advanced. Xia Qing turned his attention to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne and secretly made up his mind.
"Hmph! I have already decided on the candidate. If all my dear friends have no objections, then the matter will be settled."
Everyone was silent, which made it clear that they were not allowed to have any objections. How could they dare to say more? Otherwise, they would be asked to go home and farm.
"Now let's talk about the princes becoming kings. Now that the prince has been established, it is inappropriate for the princes to stay in the capital. It is only right to return to the fiefdom as soon as possible to benefit the people."
Gu Chengyu felt that the major events in the past two days were happening one after another. Is the emperor planning to resolve them all at once?
Sit back and wait to eat! He has already moved the small stool.
"The eldest prince has both political integrity and talent, and is very filial to me. I will make him Prince Gong and give him the fiefdom of Jingyuan Mansion. I will grant Prince Jing the fiefdom of Fengqing Mansion. I will issue an edict to the world tomorrow and let the Qintian Supervisor choose a good time and auspicious day.
, hold the King Ceremony!"
The emperor did not hesitate at all, and announced the matter of becoming the king in one go.
Prince Jing almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, Fengqing Mansion? It was a bitter cold place close to the border.
The land is barren, the people are suffering, and separatist forces are still entrenched. Every year, many caravans are attacked by bandits, and it is difficult for the court to collect taxes every year.
In such a place, the father actually regards it as his own fiefdom?
Prince Jing could hardly suppress the sadness in his heart. They were both sons, but his father was so partial to him?
Although Jingyuan Prefecture is not as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River, it is close to the Jingyuan River and has many large and small docks.
Moreover, Jingyuan Prefecture is also one of the main transportation arteries for water transportation. The tax collected from water transportation every year is almost the same as the salt tax. This shows how important Jingyuan Prefecture is in Dayan's territory.
My father actually handed over such an important state capital to his eldest brother, and what about him?
The eldest prince actually had a hint of joy on his face, he couldn't escape the matter of conferring a king and granting a fiefdom.
Now that the crown prince has been established, my father will no longer tolerate other princes staying in the capital.
The eldest prince is very satisfied to be able to get Jingyuan Mansion as a fiefdom.
Previously, his father gave the title of Prince Jing to the fourth child. He thought that his father would give the Jingyuan Mansion to the fourth child!
In fact, what the eldest prince thought was not wrong. The emperor had indeed planned this. Because Prince Jing had been weak since he was a child, the emperor still had some pity for him, so he planned to give the Jingyuan Mansion to him.
Unexpectedly, the emperor now discovered that Prince Jing was not as harmless as he appeared on the surface, and that he might have had undue extravagant hopes in his heart.
It would be better to send him away far away, lest the greed in Prince Jing's heart get worse.
As soon as he arrived at Fengqing Mansion, Lao Si was too tired to deal with the local forces and had no time to think about anything else.
As for whether the fourth child would be hijacked by local forces or even threaten his life, the emperor was not worried.
After all, Prince Jing is the prince. As long as the country does not change its surname, these people will not dare to act too wildly.
Besides, if the fourth child doesn't care about everything and just lives his happy life, those forces will naturally not take the initiative to provoke him.
He just wanted the fourth child to live a healthy and smooth life and live a happy and prosperous life. But the fourth child didn't understand his thoughts and insisted on having such ambitions.
The emperor closed his eyes. He had to fulfill his promise to that person and could not break his promise. In this life, the person he was most sorry for was that person.
I hope that after going to the fiefdom, the fourth child can put away those little thoughts!
"My dear Lord, thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!" Prince Jing and the eldest prince both knelt down and received the order to express their gratitude!
But they had different thoughts, one was angry and the other was excited.
More than once, Prince Jing felt that his father would never be able to hurt his heart again, but this was what he thought. Every time his father did something, his healed scars would be revealed and he would bleed again.
Why is his heart not numb yet? What else does he expect from his father?
Prince Jing hated himself more than once. Was he too stupid?
He finally fully understood the truth that what he wanted could only be achieved by himself, so why should he expect charity from his father?
We'll see! Even if the world says that he doesn't recognize his relatives, so what? As long as he can sit on that throne smoothly, so what if he fails the world?
One day, he will let his father see clearly that his son, who is not looked down upon by his father, is the real master of the world.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Prince Gong and Prince Jing!"
Gu Chengyu knelt down with the ministers, but he was speculating in his heart about the emperor's intentions. The emperor must know what kind of place Fengqing Mansion is.
I'm afraid that Prince Jing will be tortured a lot by establishing a fiefdom in such a place! But Prince Jing is very capable, so it shouldn't be a problem for him, right?
It's just that Gu Chengyu was confused as to why the emperor did so brilliantly. In his opinion, the emperor didn't think he didn't value Prince Jing, he just didn't know how to express it!
This time the emperor did this, Prince Jing must have been so angry that his nose was crooked, and he might have hated the emperor deeply.
In fact, if Gu Chengyu were Prince Jing, he might not be able to reconcile his feelings.
They are all sons, and this is too partial. Especially in this imperial family, seeing that the eldest brother is so favored by his father, he himself is like a poor bastard forgotten in the corner.
If the emperor had given Prince Jing a small portion of his patience and preference for the eldest prince, Prince Jing would not have developed such an extreme temper.
Gu Chengyu shook his head and sighed, maybe the father and son were not compatible by nature!
Besides, Prince Jing was not the only one who was wronged. The prince bore the title of legitimate son, but the emperor did not see how much he liked him.
"Prince Qintian has chosen a date to arrange Prince Jing's wedding. Prince Jing is already in his prime, so it is no longer appropriate to postpone the wedding."
The emperor cast his penetrating gaze on Prince Jing, and when he saw Prince Jing's expressionless face, he couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that the fourth child must be resenting him in his heart, but he had his own reasons. What happened before was ultimately his fault, and he kept breaking his promise, disappointing the man.
