Chapter 1773: An impromptu court meeting

"Why don't you talk?" the old emperor said in a deep voice.

Talk?

What to say?

Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart. He was just going to ask about this indirectly, but he never thought that the old emperor would go straight to the point, which made him not know what to say for a while.

"If you don't talk, I'll help you talk!" The old emperor said, "You heard the news that I want to make the third son the prince, so you hurried over to test my mouth to see if there is such a thing. Am I right?"

This...

Zhao Xuan was a little flustered, because he could see that the old emperor was very angry at this time. He thought that he came to ask indirectly, and the old emperor would not see it, let alone blame him, but now he realized that his little tricks were not enough in front of the old emperor. He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, and his father had already understood all his thoughts.

"Father, you misunderstood me." Zhao Xuan said with a stiff face, "I really came to pay my respects to you. As for the matter of the third son, I don't know and don't know what you are talking about."

At this time, Zhao Xuan dared not admit it. The old emperor was already obviously angry. If he admitted it, his father's anger would probably pour out on him instantly.

"Don't know?" The old emperor sneered: "This matter has spread throughout Yanyang City in less than half a day. How could you not know?"

"I really don't know." Zhao Xuan could only continue to bite the bullet.

"Okay, I believe you." The old emperor said: "So, you don't care about the position of the prince at all. You don't even know about such a big thing. It seems that I was right not to make you the prince. How can a person who is indifferent to the position of the prince be a good prince?"

The old emperor's words stunned Zhao Xuan. He obviously didn't expect the old emperor to say so.

What to do?

Continue to lie, or admit it?

If he continued to lie, would his father really not consider making him the crown prince?

If he admitted it, would his father scold him?

Zhao Xuan didn't know how to react for a moment, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Since you are here to pay your respects to me, now that you have paid your respects, you can go back." The old emperor said lightly.

"Father." It was obviously not possible to go back now, so Zhao Xuan had to say: "Father, please forgive me. I did come here for the matter of the crown prince. The reason why I lied was that I was afraid of your blame, not intentionally concealing it."

"Humph!" The old emperor snorted coldly, and was not surprised at Zhao Xuan's words: "Do you think you can hide your little tricks from me?"

"Father is wise." Zhao Xuan said hurriedly.

"You shouldn't come." The old emperor said: "At least not now."

Obviously, the old emperor was still dissatisfied with Zhao Xuan for finding him first.

Zhao Xuan argued, "I just want to confirm whether this is true or not. After all, this is not a trivial matter. Now this matter has been widely spread and has caused panic. I just want peace of mind."

"Peace of mind? If I say that the news is true, can you still be at ease?" said the old emperor.

"This..."

Of course it can't be!

If Zhao Xuan knew that the news was true, his heart would definitely not be calm, but at least he could prepare in advance. He would never be willing to give up the position of the prince.

"I tell you, the news is false!" The old emperor did not torture Zhao Xuan much.

The old emperor must clarify this matter, because he has no such plan at all. If he does not clarify it, or clarifies it too late, it will have a great impact and cause some unnecessary trouble.

Fake?

When Zhao Xuan heard the old emperor's words, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.

He knew that this could never be true!

Why did his third son sit on the position of the prince? Except for himself, no one else is qualified!

Sure enough, now from the mouth of the old emperor, it was confirmed that this matter was indeed false, it was indeed a rumor, Zhao Xuan instantly relaxed.

"Since you are here, don't leave for the time being." The old emperor said to Zhao Xuan, and then said to the eunuch next to him: "Immediately announce the decree, let the ministers enter the palace, and let all the princes come, I want to hold a court meeting."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch immediately took the order and left, while Zhao Xuan stood where he was. He guessed that the reason why the old emperor wanted to hold a temporary court meeting was because of the matter of the position of the crown prince. This matter was too big now, and the old emperor had to pay attention to it.

Not long after, one by one, the ministers entered the palace, and the other princes also came one after another. The hall, which seemed empty, was now mostly full, but the hall was still as quiet as before. In front of the old emperor, they did not dare to be presumptuous.

The third prince looked a little nervous and excited. He looked at the old emperor for a while, and then at the other princes.

The third prince, Zhao Lun, also guessed the reason why the old emperor convened this court meeting. However, he thought that the old emperor was preparing to officially announce to everyone that he would be the crown prince, which made him both excited and nervous.

"Calm down, Zhao Lun, you have to calm down. You are about to become the crown prince of Yanfeng Kingdom. There are so many ministers watching. You can't lose your composure at this time. You must stay calm and maintain your demeanor." Zhao Lun thought over and over in his heart. I reminded myself over and over again: "When my father announces this later, I will show an expression of fear and gratitude, but I can't be too humble. That will make the ministers think I am too weak, but I can't be too arrogant." , that will make the father dissatisfied, in short, don’t go too far.”

Zhao Lun rehearsed in his mind what kind of reaction and action he should make when he hears the appointment later. This is a very important moment for him, and he must not mess it up.

Fortunately, he has already known about this matter and has discussed it with several staff members. Therefore, he already knows what kind of reaction he should make later. It will mainly depend on him later. play.

"Dear dear friends, I am calling you here today for one thing only." The old emperor's voice sounded: "That is the matter related to the position of the prince!"

really!

No one was too surprised, and there was no expression change on their faces. Like the eldest prince and the third prince, they had already guessed the reason why the old emperor asked them to enter the palace in a hurry this time. Apart from this, there would be no other reason. Other things have happened.

There was a smile on the third prince's face, and the eldest prince Zhao Xuan, who was secretly observing the third prince, also had a smile on his face, but his smile had a sense of gloating.

Later, there will be a good show to watch!
