When Zhou Fan received the order from the Mirror Palace and asked him to recommend the prince, he was in a state of shock.

He immediately figured out what was going on through the academy.

After that, he ignored it, but he ignored it. Several princes sent invitations that day, and invited him for various reasons.

Zhou Fan ignored the invitations of these princes and instead told the academy's concierge that if someone came to him, he would say he was sick and he would not see anyone.

This time even if a prince arrives in front of his residence, he will not see him.

Those princes can't break into the door, right?

Recommend the prince?

Zhou Fan didn't want to get involved in such a thing. No one would recommend it, but gave up automatically.

At the same time, he felt a little pain in his head. Although the other six Taoist lords would definitely know about this, those Taoist lords were not in Jingdu, and they were much more comfortable to deal with than him, the Hanbei Dao, who stayed in Jingdu.

He simply asked Chen Zheng to help him make a splash, saying that he had no intention of recommending any prince.

It seemed that because he showed his attitude, the prince did not come to visit Zhou Fan with shame, but the invitation still did not stop.

Zhou Fan didn't have the heart to reply to these invitations. He thought about the place like Jingdu again, so he would not stay for a long time. When the news of this incident calmed down slightly, he asked Jinggong to go back to Hanbei Road.

As for the Xiao family... he had not thought of a good way and found a good opportunity, so he could only let go of this matter temporarily. Anyway, with his growth rate, it would only benefit him if he dragged it down. When the right time came, he would deal with the Xiao family.

Zhou Fan did not want to participate in the recommendation of the crown prince, but this did not prevent him from watching the fun. He also wanted to know how this matter would develop.

The Emperor of Wei agreed to establish the crown prince, and the court officials began a false argument, and then the four major factions tacitly gave their own prince candidates.

The aristocratic family selected the sixth prince, the forty-five princes selected by the Wild Fox School, the Big Buddha Temple selected the one hundred and one prince, and the academy selected the ninety-nine princes who were not very famous.

Four civil servants were quickly sent.

But except for the civil servants who gave four choices, such as the head of the Grand Secretary, the master of the Seventh Avenue, and the chief general of the Jinggong, none of these people recommended any princes, just as if they didn't know this.

These people dare not participate in these things easily, but there are actually some reasons, because the positions of Grand Secretary, Seven Daozhu, and Grand General Manager are all chosen by the emperor. When the emperor did not ask for the prince to recommend it, these people chose to wait and see or give up.

After the four people were elected, the civil servants put the matter aside for the time being. They understood in their hearts that this was to choose the crown prince after all. Even if the emperor was casual, he would not make a decision in a hurry. Even the candidate for the crown prince might not be among these four princes.

The only one who can decide who to choose is the Lord.

Zhou Fan only hoped that this matter would end as soon as possible, but he also felt that this was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time. He just didn't expect that on the afternoon of the day when the candidates were submitted, three little eunuchs came to Jinggong.

"Master Zhou, the emperor asked me to wait and ask you, are there really no prince to recommend?" One of the little eunuchs asked, "The emperor said that if there is no, he will make a decision and not wait for you."

Zhou Fan looked shocked. Is the result coming so soon?

"Master Zhou?" the little eunuch urged: "The emperor is waiting for us to go back and reply."

"Please tell the emperor that I am not familiar with the princes and dare not recommend them randomly, which will ruin the state affairs." Zhou Fan replied hurriedly.

The three little eunuchs said they knew and left.

As soon as the three little eunuchs left, Zhou Fan immediately left his residence. When he found the eldest Mr. Duanmu Xiaohong in the academy, Chen Zheng also came.

"A person from the palace just came to you and asked if you want to recommend a prince, right?" Chen Zheng looked at Zhou Fan and asked.

"Yes." Zhou Fan replied that Chen Zheng was well-informed, which was not surprising.

Jing Palace is not airtight. I guess when the three little eunuchs were sent to him, the news fell into the ears of the great forces in Jingdu.

"Then how did you answer him?" Chen Zheng asked.

"I didn't recommend any princes." Zhou Fan said.

Chen Zheng turned his head and looked at Duanmu Xiaohong, "Senior brother, the emperor suddenly asked the eighteen general managers, the seventh great masters, and the chief minister, saying that if no candidates were reported for recommendations, he would make a decision."

Duanmu Xiaohong was also stunned, "Why is the Lord so anxious?"

"Yes, it's too hasty." Chen Zheng turned around in a hurry, "Originally, everyone thought that the Lord would make careful choices, or simply drag them, what would the Lord want to do?"

Chen Zheng thought about what kind of impact would the decision made by Emperor Chen so quickly?

Zhou Fan also raised his eyebrows slightly. The actions of the Emperor of Wei were really beyond his expectations again and again.

No wonder the forces in the mirror are difficult to guess the holy intention. Throughout history, there are emperors with unpredictable holy intentions, but it is really rare for emperors who seem to behave so unexpectedly.

It is difficult to use obvious labels like "the tyrant" and "the wise king" to attach to this Emperor of Wei, and no one knows what he is thinking.

For a time, all forces were silently paying attention to this matter. Because it was involved in the crown prince, no one dared to submit a petition to the emperor to think twice, otherwise would he want to interfere with the establishment of the crown prince?

This is a serious sin.

In less than half an incense stick, a royal edict was issued in the Mirror Palace. The imperial edict was very long, but it was summed up in a simple sentence: the sixth prince Li Yuanji was gentle and elegant, and was both virtuous and capable, and was made the prince.

The sixth prince Li Yuanji became the crown prince.

Zhou Fan's eyes twitched, and the civil servant gave him four recommendations, and the Sixth Prince was one of them, so it was not surprising to choose the Sixth Prince, but it still made him feel complicated.

The first thought that emerged in his mind was: If these sixth prince really became the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, how many miserable women would become co-wives?

However, he soon thought of another possibility. Maybe the Sixth Prince would go a step further. After taking the throne, he proudly announced his coming out openly. Then his subordinates were all those who came to the meeting...

The more he thought about it, the more chill he felt. The Emperor of Wei chose the Sixth Prince as the crown prince, which was really not a good choice.

"I didn't expect the Lord to make a decision so quickly." Chen Zheng said with a strange look on his face.

"Yes, it's too fast." Duanmu Xiaohong rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't feel much disgusted with the Sixth Prince becoming the Prince. He just felt that just as the teacher said, the emperor's work has become increasingly difficult to figure out in recent years.

No wonder the teacher is so worried. The Emperor of the Great Wei is the foundation of the stability of the Great Wei. If something really happens, the entire Great Wei will be unstable, especially at the critical moment when the catastrophe is approaching.

"The only four princes, the 99th prince recommended by our academy is slightly weaker, but the gap is not big. Why did the emperor choose the sixth prince as the crown prince?" Chen Zheng asked curiously.

There may be an answer to this question or there may be no answer. It depends on whether news will be heard from the Jing Palace. This is something that no one can confirm.

The information channels in the academy were not weak. Chen Zheng quickly received the news from the palace, and he was completely stunned.
