Hello Chang’an

 What puzzled the officials the most was that when the prince opened his mouth, the saint could obviously prevaricate him first——

This saint has always been firm-minded and would never be willing to give up easily. Ordinarily, he would not be intimidated by Chang Sui Ning so easily. Isn't the so-called power strategy just that you come and go, trying to plot every inch of territory under your feet? And why would the saint choose to push his opponent directly to the position of prince? !

In front of Chang Suining, the saint and the court were already passive, and the only bargaining chip in their hands was the position of crown prince... If Chang Suining or Li Suining wanted to ascend the throne in a legitimate and legitimate manner, they would be like King Rong, destined to be unable to surpass the crown prince and the prince. Son of Heaven, under such circumstances, the saints should plan wisely and use this bargaining chip!

Even if it is a transaction, the conditions should be discussed instead of directly giving the other party the hands he needs... To put it bluntly, if Li Suining becomes the crown prince, he can ascend the throne as the emperor at any time, which means that she will no longer be the emperor. There is no need to have any scruples, the emperor can be removed at any time!

Isn't it possible that the saint was so sick that he didn't realize the serious disadvantages of this?

This move is like destroying the future with your own hands...

Some of the emperor's ministers felt uneasy, so they signaled to Ma Xiang - maybe the sage was just retreating in order to advance, and he wanted them, the ministers, to speak out and point out what was wrong?

Ma Xingzhou didn't say anything.

Having been a monarch and minister for many years, he has some understanding of His Majesty...

He could clearly understand that the saint took advantage of the situation to propose the selection of the crown princess, but it was from "sincerity".

Although the saint's move was suspected of destroying the city, he was more willing to believe that the saint had other considerations.

Ever since he stood in this hall today, the saint has been "helping" Chang Sui Ning... Perhaps, the gains and losses in the saint's eyes are not as simple as they see.

Ma Xingzhou came out of the queue, raised his hand and said:

"Your Majesty is wise... I second your proposal."

If Your Majesty wants help, then he will help Your Majesty.

He is the emperor's confidant, and only by expressing his approval can the emperor's sincerity be truly demonstrated.

When the ministers saw this, there was a noise and panic.

The eldest princess of Xuan'an also stood up: "Looking at the Li family now, only Sui Ning can take on this important responsibility, and I, Li Rong, would like to respect her as the crown princess!"

The Grand Princess Mansion never interferes in political affairs, but this time is an exception.

Li Zhi was already crying with joy. With the approval of the emperor, Prime Minister Ma and the eldest princess, he no longer waited for the statements of other officials -

Li Zhi took out the prince's seal that he had prepared with him from his sleeve, and held it up with both hands: "Li Zhi implores the emperor's sister to put the country first and take over this great responsibility!"

Seeing the prince, he wanted to hand over the prince's jade seal on the spot, causing another disturbance in the palace.

Some people couldn't help but say: "How can such a big thing be so careless..."

However, when I thought about it, they lost Gyeonggi and had no dignity at all...

In ancient times, when the capital of various dynasties was destroyed and the royal family was on the run, there was a precedent for a few officials to temporarily choose a new emperor... In comparison, this situation, with careful consideration and discussion, is not considered hasty.

But a woman who had just returned to her clan and changed her surname was about to become the crown prince... This was really hard to accept.

What quickly caught their attention was that no one, whether it was Taifu Chu and Prime Minister Wei, or Cui Jing and Li Suining, took the opportunity to agree with such a major event...

Even though the eldest princess Xuan'an had come forward, even though the prince had held up the jade seal, and all the conditions were met - there was no movement from them.

The Cui clan members headed by Cui Lang also remained motionless.

Cui Lang's mentality was extremely stable. Although becoming the crown prince sounded exciting, this position was already in the master's pocket. When he would take it, it would all depend on the master's mood. There is no need for them to make noise and build momentum. At this time, they are just shouting, and the price will drop more.

Cui Jing's thoughts went deeper. As the crown prince at this time, a big tree attracts wind, which has half the advantages and disadvantages.

But no matter what, it depends on her mood.

Li Zhi held the seal for a long time, but before hearing a response, his arms began to tremble slightly.

At this time, the officials in the palace also reacted - together they were hesitantly picking at the things that Sosou was reluctant to give away, but the other party didn't even notice them, and they had to weigh up whether they wanted it or not!

Just as Li Zhi was shaking more and more violently, he finally heard the clear voice from above:

"When Uncle Wang mobilized troops from Yizhou, he declared that he would first take back the capital, and then welcome back the emperor and the crown prince -" Li Suining asked: "If I become the crown prince, wouldn't Uncle Wang come to welcome me?"

Her little uncle Wang wanted to welcome the crown prince, but he also wanted to kill him.

This seemingly curious question caused a deathly silence in the hall.

No one dared to take this sentence. At the same time, everyone seemed to understand the reason for Li Suining's hesitation. She didn't want to make herself the target of public criticism so early...

As long as the emperor and the prince are still there, she will have a shield in front of her, and she is fully capable of issuing orders through the hands of the emperor and the prince. The name of the prince is not necessary for her, at least at this time.

Before this, Li Zhi had completely failed to think of this level. Now that he reacted, he was suddenly frightened.

The young man raised his head in fear, and cold sweat slid down his elegant and beautiful cheeks. He wanted to explain that he did not intentionally push the emperor's sister into danger, so that the emperor's sister could defend him and the saint from the overt and covert attacks, including those from Prince Rong's Palace. He is really just too stupid and thinks too simply...

But he was almost frightened, and he was very afraid that he would say something inappropriate and make the situation more troublesome...

Looking up and seeing the green dress above him, Li Zhi tried his best to make his voice sound innocent enough: "Sister Huang, I..."

The next moment, he saw in the line of sight above him, the sleeves of his clothes were moving slightly, and a clean plain hand stretched out to him -

The sweet voice falling from above even had a hint of interesting rambling:

"In that case, I will accept this seal and wait for Uncle Wang to come and greet you."

Li Zhi raised his head higher in disbelief, and faced those calm and fearless eyes with a faint smile. Big tears suddenly burst out of Li Zhi's eyes. He seemed to be crying and laughing, and knocked his head to the ground again. Only the jade seal in his hand was raised higher.

Under the attention of everyone, Cui Jing took the jade seal and presented it to Li Suining.

Li Suining took it in his hand and looked at it, as if turning a pen, catching a fallen leaf, or dealing with other things that were readily available.

Looking at the woman in the green skirt who knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, but instead wanted to fight for the tiger's heart, the officials came to their senses one after another. They no longer had any objections and no longer dared to have any objections. They all bowed to the new crown prince - even though they still felt that everything happened too suddenly. .

Hearing the sound of saluting coming from the palace, He Wuhu and others who were guarding outside the palace gate also widened their eyes. Then they knelt down and bowed. They all clasped their fists and shouted "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess" with great energy.

When the Di Bao issued by Taiyuan City in the name of the Emperor first arrived in the states near Taiyuan, the provincial governors only thought it was news about Chang Sui Ning's return to the clan. It was not until he saw the content clearly that he was suddenly shocked - Chang Sui Ning, actually Became the new crown prince? !

The news will not be slowed down by the shock of everyone, and a letter of seal is still being sent to the city further away.

At the same time, Li Zhi had packed his luggage and was bidding farewell to a group of officials who were determined to lift his puddle of mud up the wall.

Li Zhi is not leaving Taiyuan. Although he was deposed and is now His Highness the "Prince An" of Dasheng, as the former prince, his existence is still special and he can easily be exploited. Therefore, he took the initiative to request to stay in Taiyuan and took the initiative to seek protection from the emperor's sister. In fact, he sought the emperor's sister's supervision.

In addition, Li Zhi insisted on moving out of this residence specially prepared for the prince and completely staying away from the court officials who were placed around him - his identity had changed, and it was necessary to avoid suspicion with this circle.

In order to move to a separate courtyard in Taiyuan City as soon as possible, Li Zhi handed over all the prince's affairs in just three days - this short improvement process surprised the officials who followed him. They had never been under the crown prince's control. ...No, An Wang Li Zhi has seen such outstanding and neat ability to do things!

What did you do early? Or is it that only in the face of being deposed can the potential of His Highness Prince An be unleashed?

At this time, the mood of these officials was very complicated. Although they were saying goodbye, they didn't know what to say.

Seeing that there was a depressing atmosphere between them called "all these years have been in vain", Li Zhi expressed relief: "... Why don't you, my lords, go and be loyal to the emperor's sister? We are all legitimate princes, so what's the difference?"

Aren't these ministers guarding the title of the Li family's heir apparent? Otherwise, you wouldn't have a soft spot for a loser like him, right? They shouldn't all suffer from the opposite symptoms to Mrs. Chu.

"Why is there no difference?" Wei Miaoqing walked in from the outside and promptly corrected: "Although they are both princes, there is a difference between heaven and earth."

"You adults have been flopping in the mud pit for a long time. Don't you want to try the feeling of sitting on the cloud?" Wei Miaoqing said sternly: "If I were you, I would have gone to grab a job in front of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess right now. Go I’m afraid I won’t even get a decent seat if I get there too late!”

These people would secretly enjoy being able to pass it on directly to the next crown prince as an inheritance. She actually dreamed of passing on the position of crown princess to her brother to inherit it!

Listening to Wei Miaoqing's unobtrusive words, the faces of the officials changed, but they also felt a sudden realization - they probably knew the source of the abnormal behavior of King An!

The saint really married a "virtuous wife" to King An!

Seeing the dissatisfied expressions on those people's faces, Wei Miaoqing was too lazy to talk to them anymore. He simply grabbed Li Zhi's sleeves and walked out, saying, "How can you stand here for nothing and receive cold looks and complaints? You are so kind and consider their lives and future. They This idiot may not be willing to appreciate it!"

An official was furious: "You... this cunning woman is so rude..."

Wei Miaoqing didn't even look back: "This is Taiyuan. It's time for Her Majesty the Crown Princess to show off to them in ten and a half months."

Wei Miaoqing pulled Li Zhi down the steps in one breath, turned around and asked Li Zhi: "Why are you laughing?"
