Chapter 1364: His Majesty thinks twice
Although Xiao Yuanshen was weak, he was quite popular among civil servants.
However, everyone was also surprised. Generally speaking, the prince didn’t like to come to court, so why did he come today?
At this time, three more old men came.
Everyone present was shocked.
These three are the Grand Master, Grand Tutor, and Grand Guardian.
These three, who have reached the third Duke, are the giant pillars of the Yan State's officialdom, but the three of them have not been to court for a long time.
Today is coming together.
Did something big happen today?
Everyone wanted to see some careful look on the face of the three men, but the three men looked calm, as if nothing was wrong.
After the Third Duke arrived, it was almost time for court, and everyone walked in one by one.
After everyone stood still, Emperor Yan strode out, and Huang Zishi followed him.
The Emperor Yan sat on the dragon throne, and everyone began to discuss national affairs.
Everything is like morning court on weekdays, no difference.
The prince and the third duke did not say a word.
Prince Xiao Yuanshen was also surprised. Today he wanted to read books at home, but someone from the palace came to send a message to him to come to court today.
Xiao Yuanshen was surprised, but he didn't say much.
After discussing many things in the Yan State.
Emperor Yan glanced at the minister below and asked, "Do you have anything to report?"
No one of the ministers below replied.
If we follow the previous rhythm, we should announce our retreat to the court and everyone will go back to their own homes.
But what everyone did not expect was that Emperor Yan said at this time: "I have something I want to tell you."
"Huang Zishi, tell me."
The old eunuch Huang Zishi, who was standing beside him, nodded, took a step forward slowly, and said loudly: "When Your Majesty was still the prince, he had a child who had been missing for many years. Now that he finally found that child, it is a great joy."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
The ministers below subconsciously spoke up for their congratulations.
But then, everyone felt something was wrong.
Is it necessary for the emperor to announce it in the court when he found his illegitimate son many years ago?
What does this mean?
Everyone congratulated twice and quickly shut up.
"Yang Ye, you are the Minister of Rites. Tell me, when I first appointed the crown prince, I threatened to establish the eldest son, otherwise I would have to hit the wall and commit suicide, right?" Emperor Yan asked.
Everyone felt something was wrong when they listened to Emperor Yan's words.
Yang Ye felt bitter, Damn, His Majesty Yan Emperor chose him to ask such a sensitive question?
However, Yang Ye firmly supports the prince and is also the mainstay of Xiao Yuanshen's interest group.
Yang Ye walked forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the establishment of the eldest son is the rule of our country of Yan since ancient times. If this rule is broken, the country will be invincible!"
Xiao Yuanshen frowned. He was a scholar and a politically versatile person. He looked at the Yan Emperor above and did not speak.
He knew, or in other words, all civil and military officials knew that the Yan Emperor admired the fourth prince and Xiao Yuanjing even more.
Although Xiao Yuanjing was a prince, he had been in the army since childhood and now he is in charge and guards the border for many years.
Very respected by military officers.
In comparison, the prince does seem to be much inferior, but who made him the eldest son?
Countless ministers were a little nervous at this time. Could it be that His Majesty Yan Emperor wanted to change the prince?
The military officer in the court clenched his fists and felt very excited.
The civil servant thought to himself that if His Majesty Yan dared to do this, he would definitely oppose it to the death.
"Let Yuanlong come here." Yan Huang said.
[ Fast update] �
Of course, now he has changed his name to Xiao Yuanlong.
Wang Gouzi was a little restrained and stood in the hall, looking at these civil and military officials, nervous.
His face turned red.
He knew that these people were all big names who could influence Yan State.
"This is my son, my eldest prince! Xiao Yuanlong." Emperor Yan pointed at Wang Gouzi and said, "For various reasons, he was wandering outside. I searched hard, but now I finally found him."
Yang Ye's face turned ugly.
The eldest prince?
Of course, almost all civil servants looked ugly.
They are all determined to establish the eldest son.
Now, a big prince suddenly ran out, this...
However, the generals in the court were happy.
On weekdays, they are not good at speaking and are often criticized by these civil servants to doubt their lives.
The mouths of these civil servants are extremely powerful.
"I have seen the eldest prince!"
All the generals knelt down and saluted.
Of course, it was not that they admired Xiao Yuanlong more, but that they even made trouble for the prince to make trouble for these civil servants.
Is there any reason why the eldest prince and the prince coexist in this world?
Wang Gouzi was suddenly a little nervous, and he hurriedly said, "Don't do this, don't be polite."
"Emperor, my father has been looking for you for many years. Now that we really find you, we can be considered reunited by our brothers." Prince Xiao Yuanshen was quite handsome. He walked up, held Wang Gouzi's hand, and said, "Emperor Brother."
"Uh, my brother, hello." Wang Gouzi said.
The civil servants almost vomited blood.
Call the prince a younger brother?
Do you want to be so arrogant?
Even if you are older, you should call it the prince.
In the history of Yan State, it is not impossible that other princes have been appointed as crown princes.
Especially during the period of fierce imperial power struggle, such things are not uncommon.
Even if the little prince is made the crown prince, other older princes should respectfully call him the crown prince.
Wang Gouzi didn't think too much about it. In their village, they called him brothers, but they all called him younger brothers, or second brothers, Erdan, Ersilly?
Not calling Erdan Ersha is the reason why Wang Gouzi reads a lot.
There was no fluctuation on the prince's face and he said, "Brother, if you have time to come to my prince's house for a while, we can also enhance the affection between brothers."
The civil servant could hear that the prince was reminding Wang Gouzi that he was the prince.
Can Wang Gouzi hear it?
Of course not.
Although he had read a lot of books, he didn't understand these political things. He said: "It must be."
"I have great responsibility for the loss of the eldest prince. As compensation, I will grant Xiao Yuanlong the King of Yan!"
The court was shocked again.
What is the Emperor Yan trying to do? Do you want to change the prince?
Yan is the national name of Yan State, and it was actually granted a prince. Isn’t this explicit intention to let Xiao Yuanlong inherit the throne?
Yang Ye hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, you must not!"
"What's wrong?" Emperor Yan looked at Yang Ye and asked, "I'll be the king of my eldest prince, so you should also push me and stop me?"
Yang Ye said: "This Yan is the name of our country, how can we easily divide the feud? If this happens, I am afraid that the country will be out of power. Please think twice!"
