Everyone just stood there quietly, watching the uncle and nephew arguing with each other.

Everyone knew what the emperor meant, but he couldn't just say it out loud if he wanted to adopt his legitimate son. He had to ask the clan leader to ask for permission, so that the royal family could save face.

But Prince Cheng was reluctant to respond.

Of course, no matter who it was, he wouldn't agree to do that!

You are the head of the Pei clan after all, and you can't say that you are too stubborn to confront the emperor. But you can't help the emperor to exterminate his family, right?

It's easy to say that this is not a pleasant thing!

The emperor glared at Prince Cheng threateningly, and the old man grunted and turned his gaze away.

It's no use glaring at me. I have done nothing wrong. Do you have the nerve to touch your own uncle? If you have the guts, just issue an order. I don't want to bear that bad reputation.

The emperor narrowed his eyes coldly and sneered.

You forced me to do this!

He waved his sleeves vigorously and shouted loudly.

"Rongchang come here!"

"okay!"

The summoned beast that was named rushed to its father's side with a whoosh. The hair on its head swayed left and right, and it was obvious that it was very excited.

"Father, do you need my help? The price is fair, and the quality is guaranteed! Not ten thousand taels or nine thousand taels, just..."

Her father waved his hand to interrupt his self-introduction.

"Xiao Qi, do you think it's good to be the emperor?"

"Great! If I become the emperor, everything in the world will be mine! Who wouldn't want to be the emperor?"

Chu Ye had always believed that being an emperor would be awesome. Of course, she also always felt sorry that she couldn't be an emperor.

"Oh, if I could endure the hardship of studying, who would want to be a princess? I would just be an emperor."

This time he didn't complain in a low voice like he did to Princess Shengping last night, but he spoke ferociously and openly in front of the whole court.

The emperor blinked his eyes wickedly and continued to ask in a gentle and amiable tone, using the seductive tone of a kidnapper trying to seduce a child.

"Then if there is no need to study, do you think it would be a good idea to skip the position of crown prince and become emperor directly?"

"Does being an emperor mean I don't need to study?"

Chu Daidai felt that his father seemed to be lying, but he had no evidence.

"Maybe."

"That's great! If you really don't need to study, then I think I can do it too!"

That's it.

The emperor turned to look at the civil and military officials and royal relatives in the hall, and sure enough, horror was written all over everyone's face.

Some timid people who had never seen or eaten such food before were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

say what?

What on earth is His Majesty talking about?!

Princess Rongchang, a professional who would break people's legs if she disagreed with someone, wanted to be the emperor? ! !

What kind of strange words did I hear? ! ! !

This world is so damn hot!

! ?? (??  ̄?? ̄? )?? ??!

Lord Liu, the Minister of Works, who had been repeatedly scolded by Mr. Chu, fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I, an old minister, have the audacity to make a suggestion!

His Highness Prince Xuan, the Sixth Prince, is a man of outstanding virtue, wisdom and intelligence. He is naturally kind and filial, and is benevolent and forgiving. A warrior is grateful for his kindness, and a scholar is grateful for his virtue. His kindness is impartial and only favors those who are virtuous. He has a unique style of wisdom and a virtuous and elegant manner. He is gentle, respectful, frugal, friendly, and has a wide range of knowledge, a strong memory, and unparalleled wisdom.

He is truly the best choice for the crown prince of Great Qi!"

The long string of words I mumbled before might not be sincere, but the last sentence is definitely not false!

Compared to letting Princess Rongchang, such a ferocious beast on earth, sit on the dragon throne, Old Liu now felt that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan suddenly looked handsome and had the appearance of a king!

No matter how unreliable the nonsense is, the point is to make people understand.

Your Highness Prince Xuan, great!

If you don't agree, then change it to Princess Rongchang!

Fortunately, there were still many people who shared the same aesthetics as him. Some old foxes who had been thinking of squatting on the shore to protect themselves now all knelt down with a bang.

He opened his mouth and mentioned His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, praising him to the utmost!

"The Sixth Prince is kind and virtuous, and has the demeanor of a crown prince!"

"Your Highness Prince Xuan is a man of both civil and military talents, and is capable of handling this important task!"

"Your Majesty, we agree with what Minister Liu said!"

It’s not recognition, it’s identification.

No matter whether they believe these exaggerated words of praise or not, they must make the emperor believe that the Sixth Prince is a genius, a born wise ruler, and a worker chosen by heaven. Bah, they are wrong.

Anyway, in a nutshell, any monkey can sit on the throne, but Princess Rongchang must not sit on it!

"Well, what you said makes sense."

The emperor nodded pretentiously.

While stroking Dai Xiaoqi's hair, he sighed nonchalantly with deep emotion.

"I also think that the Sixth Brother is kind and righteous, and knows how to love his brothers. This is like me. I remember that my eldest brother and I had such a deep brotherly love.

It's a pity that he has gone away all alone, without even anyone to help him with his coffin.

Alas, whenever I think of it, I feel so sad..."

Your Majesty, can you please just tell me?

We don’t know whether it was difficult for you to perform, but it was really difficult for us to listen to it!

Are you willing to risk your life for such deep brotherly love?

Did the King of Jin really agree?

Everyone turned to look at the clan leader with a look of stomachache, and the pressure was put on Prince Cheng.

"I feel that it is inappropriate for the children to be left alone after the death of the Prince of Jin. What do you think, Prince Cheng?"

"This king..."

"I think the clan leader will understand your majesty's grief for the Prince of Jin. What do you think, Prince Cheng?"

"I……"

"Yes, yes, yes. I also think it's not a good thing that after Princess Chunyi was executed, the Prince of Jin no longer has a child. What do you think, Prince Cheng?"

"........."

You all think it's over, what else do you need me to think? Don't you just want me to take the blame?

Looking at the civil and military officials in the court who were throwing insults at him, and then looking at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne who was totally lacking in morality, the old prince cursed loudly in his heart!

Then he raised his hand and wiped his face tiredly. He really couldn't afford to offend so many people!

This king can bend and stretch!

Isn't it just a scapegoat?

I'm responsible for this!

"Your Majesty, please listen to my words, no, advice!"

Damn it, he was so angry that his mouth was about to burst!

“Prince Jin is the eldest son of the late emperor. He is of noble birth and has prayed for Da Qi in the Taoist temple for many years. He has made great contributions but has also worked hard.

This time he passed away and his soul returned to the underworld. Even though Your Majesty is grieving, I can only advise you to take care of yourself. After all, life and death are determined by fate, how can everything go as you wish?

but! "

After laying out a host of beautiful and ceremonial words, Prince Cheng was finally able to put on a brave face and say the rest of the words.

"Your Majesty has always been friendly to his brothers, and he has a deep brotherly relationship with the Prince of Jin. This time, there is a lack of a person to hold a banner in front of the Prince of Jin's coffin, so this old minister dares to ask for mercy for the deceased.

I beg Your Majesty to adopt the second prince, Pei Changjun, under the name of your elder brother, the Prince of Jin. This will preserve the brotherhood and comfort the heart of the deceased!"

After barking out these words that were worthy of being struck by thunder, Prince Cheng knelt down swiftly, knocked his head against the ground and refused to raise his eyes.

It’s nothing, I just need to save face.
