Chapter 39 You want the prince, I will give you a prince
When the Daqian Kingdom was first established, all the ministers were very busy from top to bottom. Only the emperor Lin Nuo, who was enjoying himself all day long, did not pay attention to the profession of emperor at all.
"Your Majesty, although it is inconvenient for me and other foreign ministers to interfere in the affairs of the harem, there is something that I have to report to Your Majesty!"
On this day, in the imperial meeting, the ministers finally had their opinions on the emperor who had been doing nothing all day long.
Nowadays, the environment of Daqian Country is relatively stable, and you don’t need to intervene in ordinary trivial matters, but you stay in the harem for several days. Isn’t this too much?
That's all. The problem is that you have been working hard in the harem for so long, but you haven't given birth to any prince yet. This is a bit unreasonable!
Of course, they did not dare to say this openly. After the final discussion, it was left to Zhu Wu, the left prime minister, to tactfully put forward their opinions to the emperor.
"Oh? We don't have so many etiquettes between our monarchs and ministers. If you have something to do, it's okay to just say it!"
"Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for a while. The system of concubines in the harem should also be established, right?"
Zhu Wu said it very implicitly, but Lin Nuo understood what he meant instantly.
The queen is unable to give birth to an heir. As the emperor, shouldn't it be time for you to add more concubines to the harem to extend the royal bloodline?
I understand, but Lin Nuo has no intention of adding more people to the harem. He can only pretend to be confused and say: "The hierarchy of the harem, this matter is not urgent. I have no plans to accept any more concubines. There is only one queen in the harem." , that’s enough!”
"I admire the relationship between Your Majesty and the Queen!"
Zhu Wu and others did not react much to Lin Nuohui's remarks. In their view, anyone who marries a wife who is like a fairy descending to earth will probably find it difficult to fall in love with other mortal women.
But understanding is understanding, and they still have to say some things.
"Your Majesty, it has been more than three years since the Queen came back from the mountain, but so far she has not been able to give birth to a bloodline for the royal family. This... royal heir is closely related to the country. There are some things that your Majesty must consider!"
Lin Nuo sat on the dragon chair with an indifferent expression. He just said yes but did not give a direct reply.
He and Xiu'er have been married for many years, and indeed they have not given birth to any children.
It's not that there's anything wrong with their health, it's that they consciously avoided the possibility of pregnancy when they had sex.
After all, the two of them are just passers-by in this world. Maybe in ten or eight years, they will break the void and leave this world. If they have children by then, what should they do?
The parents have left, leaving the children alone in this world?
Lin Nuo couldn't be so cruel, and Xiu'er couldn't bear it.
If you can't give your children a complete childhood and grow up with them, then don't become a parent in a hurry. It's not fair to the children!
He and Xiu'er had made an agreement a long time ago that they would not have children if they were not sure they could stay in the same world for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of a country. If you have no heirs, how can you establish a crown prince and stabilize the foundation of the country? If a crown prince is not established, the civil and military officials of the dynasty and even the common people will have no confidence in their hearts!"
Seeing that Lin Nuo wanted to be vague and did not give a clear answer, Zhu Wu looked a little anxious. As the prime minister, if he didn't say anything about this matter, who would dare to say it?
"Okay, I get it!"
Lin Nuo was a little helpless, but he didn't mean to blame Zhu Wu. After all, this was the responsibility of the prime minister of a country. If he was not in a hurry, it did not mean that all the officials were not in a hurry!
"Don't you want to give it to a prince... Well, I will give you a prince!"
Lin Nuo stood up, looked around at the ministers in the hall, and then focused on Lin Chong.
Zhu Wu and Lu Junyi were stunned, and their hearts suddenly pounded.
Your Majesty, are you going to make your eldest brother the crown prince?
Although many dynasties have had the practice of elder brothers succeeding younger brothers since ancient times, it is still a bit ridiculous for Your Majesty to make your eldest brother the crown prince!
"Brother, I remember Fan'er, he must be five years old, right?"
Lin Chong was stunned. The Fan'er that Lin Nuo mentioned was his second son, the child he had with his wife after he went to Liangshan.
Erlang, are you going to make your son Lin Fan the crown prince?
"Your Majesty, Lin Fan, after the New Year, you are indeed five years old!" Lin Chong felt a little excited, but he still replied honestly.
"Let's do this. Big brother, how about you adopt Fan'er into my lap and I make him the prince?"
When Zhu Wu and others heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes. Other emperors wanted to quarrel with their ministers in order to let their favorite prince sit on the throne.
But the emperor of their country, Da Qian, was too lazy to have a child with the queen, so he gave up the position of prince to his eldest brother's family. This was really unspeakable!
"This..." Although Lin Chong was ecstatic, he still looked hesitant to avoid being too complacent and being offended by others.
"Brother is unwilling?" Lin Nuo asked again.
"No, no!" Lin Chong saluted quickly, "But, Your Majesty, you may not have any heirs in the future, so there is no need to appoint a prince now, right?"
Lin Nuo shook his head, "The queen and I are devoted to the pursuit of martial arts, and it is very likely that we will not have children in this life!"
"Anyway, Fan'er is also a bloodline of my Lin family. He is adopted into my lap. The queen and I will not treat him badly. Is that okay, eldest brother?"
"Since Your Majesty has said so, I will naturally have no objection. Tomorrow I will send Fan'er to the palace and hold an adoption ceremony for him!"
Hearing that his brother was not planning to have any more children, Lin Chong was relieved. Now, Fan'er's position as the crown prince was secure!
"Dear dear sirs, I would like to enthrone Lin Fan as the crown prince. Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone was helpless, Zhu Wu had no choice but to take the lead and said: "I have no objection!"
What they want is just a prince, a prince who can stabilize the country and has royal blood. As for whether the prince is the biological child of the emperor and the queen, they really can't care.
Your Majesty doesn't care who the crown prince is passed on to, let alone these foreign ministers!
After all, the prince's affairs have always been involved in a lot. If too much involvement causes the emperor's resentment, then the gain will outweigh the loss!
"Since all the ministers have no objections, I will issue an order tomorrow to confer Lin Fan as the crown prince of the Daqian Empire!"
At this point, Lin Nuo's voice paused slightly, "We have drafted a decree to confer Zhu Wu as the Crown Prince Tutor. He will be responsible for the Crown Prince's various studies and whether the Crown Prince will succeed. Zhu Wu, you have to pay more attention!"
"My lord, thank you for your kindness!"
Even though Zhu Wu was accustomed to all kinds of big scenes, when faced with Lin Nuo's almost 100% appointment, his heart was still filled with excitement, and he wished he could go to pieces and dedicate everything to the Daqian Empire!
