Chapter 1775: Ministers’ Advice

The old emperor frowned, looked at the crazy Zhao Lun, and said in a deep voice: "Someone, take him down."

Immediately, two Imperial Guard soldiers came in, one on each side, and carried Zhao Lun out of the hall.

Zhao Lun left the hall, and the hall became quiet again, but the farce-like scene just now remained in everyone's minds, lingering.

The old emperor was obviously in a bad mood, and Zhao Lun's expression was simply humiliating, not only Zhao Lun's own face, but also the royal family's.

"This matter is completely a rumor. You are not allowed to spread it anymore or discuss it in private." The old emperor looked at everyone and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone responded in unison.

The happiest people at the scene were none other than the princes. Not long ago, each of them was very angry because of this matter, but the old emperor was very decisive and clarified the matter in a very short time, telling everyone Taking a reassurance made everyone feel better instantly.

It can be said that the most injured person in this incident was the third prince Zhao Lun. Not only was the joy in vain, but he also lost face in front of the emperor and ministers. Moreover, the old emperor was so eager to clarify that he said something wrong. Being so straightforward, this shows that the position of crown prince is definitely not the third prince's. Although there is still no candidate for the crown prince's position, the third prince is definitely excluded.

From this point of view, the third prince was the most injured in this incident.

As for the other princes, they were in a good mood. After all, they had lost a competitor.

Just when the old emperor was about to announce the disbandment of the dynasty, Zhou Yanfeng, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and saluted the old emperor: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to take this opportunity to identify the candidate for the crown prince."

Wow!

As soon as Zhou Yanfeng finished speaking, it was like a stone being dropped on the calm lake. The hearts of everyone present were instantly raised.

Especially those princes, they were all still thinking about the ugly behavior of the third prince just now, and they felt quite relaxed and happy.

But now Zhou Yanfeng's words made their hearts jump up in an instant, making them extremely nervous.

Determine the candidate for the crown prince!

This is a big deal, a big deal that concerns them! These princes cannot but be nervous.

As for the ministers above the main hall, their expressions also tightened and their faces became serious.

Establishing the candidate for the crown prince is not only a matter for the princes, but also closely related to them and the ministers.

Although the old emperor's health seems to be good, rumors about him being seriously ill have never stopped. Many people can actually guess that the old emperor's physical condition may not be as good as it seems. In this way , the choice of the prince is very important, and it is also necessary.

For these ministers, this is an opportunity to regroup and rise again. Historically, Conglong's merit has always been the biggest and most important contribution. If they can stand on the right team in this matter of the crown prince, Then, they can take this opportunity to soar. Even those important ministers who are already in the position of ministers also attach great importance to this matter. After all, it is also related to their future, and they must pay attention to it. Be cautious, one bad move will ruin your and your family's future.

Therefore, it can be said that the matter of establishing the candidate for the crown prince is closely related to everyone in the hall. No one dares to be careless in this matter.

Everyone became serious because of Zhou Yanfeng's words, but the old emperor seemed unwilling to talk more about this matter. He said slowly: "I have my own opinion regarding the prince's matter."

In the past, it is not that ministers have urged this matter. After all, among the four superpowers, Yanfeng Kingdom is the only country that has not decided on the candidate for the heir apparent, and the old emperor is not in good health. These are hidden dangers, and the ministers are also worried about this. Worried, anxious.

However, every time the ministers talked about this matter, they would be put off by the old emperor, just like what the old emperor just said. Because of the old emperor's prestige in the Yanfeng Kingdom, the ministers did not dare to say this after he said this. Continue to struggle with this matter.

However, today's situation is somewhat different.

After the old emperor spoke, Zhou Yanfeng did not retreat to his seat, but continued: "Your Majesty, the matter of the prince cannot be delayed any longer. This incident of the third prince must be caused by someone deliberately causing trouble, and what he caught is our Yanfeng Kingdom. There is no weakness in establishing a crown prince so far. His Majesty was wise and clarified the matter when it first started to ferment, preventing the matter from getting worse. However, as long as our Yanfeng country has not established a crown prince, this weakness will still become a problem. With the weapon in his hand, the opponent failed this time and will still take the opportunity to cause trouble and disrupt our Yanfeng Kingdom's court. "

"Your Majesty." As soon as Zhou Yanfeng finished speaking, Yuan Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up and continued: "I think Zhou Shangshu's words are very reasonable. The matter of the crown prince has become a weakness of our Yanfeng country. I hope that your Majesty can Establish the crown prince as soon as possible to appease the people."

"His Majesty......"

One after another, ministers walked out of the queue and took the initiative to speak. What they said all had the same meaning:

The Yanfeng Kingdom must establish a crown prince as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise it will lead to disunity and give opportunities to those who are interested.

The princes watched the ministers speak with their hearts pounding, and looked at the old emperor from time to time. This was the first time that so many ministers spoke about this matter at the same time. Even their father had been reluctant to establish a crown prince before, but now that so many ministers have expressed their opinions, he may have to reconsider this matter.

Sure enough, the old emperor did not evade everyone as usual, but looked at everyone calmly. If only one or two ministers said this, he might not take it too seriously, but now that almost all important ministers are talking about this, the old emperor has to consider it carefully.

The old emperor's mood is actually a bit complicated.

Doesn't he want to confirm the candidate for the crown prince?

He definitely wants to.

But the question is, who should be appointed as the crown prince?

The eldest prince? The third prince? The fourth prince? Or the sixth prince?

It seems that none of them are suitable. These princes have more or less things that the old emperor is dissatisfied with, and he is not at ease to hand over the country to these princes.

The old emperor had been in power for many years and was somewhat nostalgic for power. This was one of the reasons why he was reluctant to establish a crown prince early. But when he wanted to establish a crown prince, he found that almost none of the princes could satisfy him. Therefore, when the ministers asked him to appoint a crown prince, he prevaricated and delayed the matter until now. There were reasons for him and the princes.
