"The prince is young and promising, and I feel that the future can be expected."

The whole dormitory was extremely lively, each talking about their own.

The pen in Chen Bo's hand was hanging on the paper, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help laughing, that dude is still young and promising?Really dare to say anything.

In the end, the king actually gave a merciful cry.

Chen Bo frowned involuntarily, that's right, the king has always had the final say on the establishment of the royal heir, if the king insists on whom to appoint, then it will be justified.

The pen in his hand was deliberately stained with ink on the inkstone, and sure enough, it was just this little time difference, and someone stood up again.

"Your Majesty, this seems to be a little inconsistent with the ancestral system. It is reasonable to establish a crown prince and an elder. Now the crown prince is not good enough, so he can no longer serve as my grand crown prince. If the order is postponed, there will be three older princes behind the prince Zhuo. It is impossible. It's the prince's turn to wash."

"Your Majesty, please think again. The name of the Prince Zhuo is well known in the capital. Now that I am going to fight the Yan Kingdom, it is time to work hard and sharpen my will. The character of the Prince Zhuo is really..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, because the king squinted his eyes and looked over.

Although the king is sick and weak now, under the years of accumulating prestige, people still keep their mouths shut, "Who will I establish as the prince, I will naturally know in my heart, why do you need your advice, and put away your behind-the-scenes tricks."

This is a bit embarrassing, as if the king can see through their intentions.

Chen Bo was not in a hurry, because before entering the palace, he guessed that he might be called to draft the decree, so he had already made preparations.

The king was about to speak, when one of the three men, Lu Qingqi, suddenly came out, even though the quarrel was so fierce just now, the three men did not speak, and could not help but look over.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Everyone couldn't help being stunned, what must be reported at this time, can it be more important than the matter of making a big effort to establish a reserve?

The king glanced at Lu Qingqi with a thin face, his expression couldn't help being a little sarcastic, and finally there was someone who was worthy enough to hold back.

It's just that what Lu Qingqi said really made everyone a little confused.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the day of my rise to power is just around the corner."

"Just now, a customer came to report that a large number of salt merchants suddenly appeared in the eastern and western markets of Beijing, selling refined salt at a very low price. The quality of refined salt is even comparable to that of tribute salt, but the price is only about It’s just coarse salt, even ordinary people can afford such good salt.”

King: "..."

Didn't you talk about the establishment of the reserve?

The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng next to her couldn't help but said, "Is this really the case? The price of refined salt is only a little higher than coarse salt, why?"

"I was also puzzled, so I asked people to pay attention to it. As a result, those salt merchants said that their purchase price was extremely low, and that there was a new process for refining refined salt. Not only the output was large, but the salt was also good."

"In the future, all our common people will be able to eat refined salt, not to worry about eating without salt."

hiss.

I don't know how many people gasped.

The common people... can eat refined salt, which was completely unimaginable before.

"The people have salt to eat, and lettuce is grown in large quantities, this..."

No wonder Lu Qingqi just said a word of joy and congratulations, no matter how you look at it, Daqian has been developing rapidly recently.

On the contrary, Gan Xun and Shang Wangshu looked at Lu Qingqi with a slight frown. If they remembered correctly, Lu Qingqi specially approved a batch of state-owned assets a few days ago, which seemed to be used to build a salt factory.

Now that there is low-priced refined salt on the market, if they say that there is no connection between them, they will definitely not believe it.

The expression on the king's face was much more joyful. Under his governance, his work has become better and better. Doesn't it mean that he is a person blessed by God, and said, "But it has been confirmed that there are really new ones. The process of refining refined salt? Not some rumors in the market."

At this time, Lu Qingqi waved his hand, and two young servants came in, carrying the boss with a burlap bag in their hands.

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is the refined salt that appeared on the market. It is indeed different from the tribute salt, and it is finer and whiter. It can only be achieved by the new refining process of refined salt."

Everyone couldn't help but gather around, and some even dipped their hands in some salt and put it into their mouths, "It's really as fine as sand, white in color without any impurities, and the taste is strong and pure. Coarse salt is used, is this quality salt really only a little more expensive than coarse salt?”

I still can't believe it. In the past, refined salt was the standard for nobles, and it is considered good that ordinary people can afford coarse salt.

"Grand Lu, you need to figure out such a big thing, before it turns out to be just a joke." The matter is very important.

At this time, Chen Bai put down his pen and stood up, "Your Majesty, my colleagues, what Lu Gong said is true, because this salt official also has a small share, and the price and craftsmanship are the most clear."

Everyone couldn't help being stunned, "No, as far as I know, the Tingwei Mansion has no salt fields, nor does it have the right to produce salt."

Chen Bai smiled and raised his head, "Tingwei's mansion does not exist, but the prince's fief is not entitled to tax exemption and development rights. His fief happens to have a salt lake, and these salts are extracted from that salt lake. As for why I took it? It just so happens that the new process of refining refined salt was researched by me and students from Yunshang Academy at the request of the prince..."

"With this new process of refining refined salt, Dagan will never worry about using salt..."

There was no sound, and no one paid attention to what Chen Bai was saying, because they heard the main point.

This salt is a fief estate of the princely government, and the process of refining refined salt was produced at the request of the princely government.

Not long ago, Prince Zheng also asked Yunshang Academy to improve Rapunzel to solve the embarrassing situation of panic and starvation every year.

Not to mention other credits, these two points alone have achieved things that the emperors of all dynasties may not have done.

To be honest, compared with other princes, Prince Zheng is really different, and now it seems You Sheng.

The minister who kept praising the other princes couldn't help but blushed. Compared with the credit of the prince's political affairs, the little credit that the other princes reluctantly took on him was nothing.

No one dared to praise other princes anymore, not even embarrassing ones, because they were too dwarfed by comparison.

For a while, no one spoke.

The king couldn't help but opened his mouth: "..."

At this time, Chen Shouye stood up, "I feel that the prince's administration has made a lot of achievements in both internal affairs and martial arts. Just because of his contribution to Dagan now, he is already qualified to be established as the heir. It is also reasonable and reasonable to establish a crown prince and establish a prince, and the prince's administration ranks second among all the princes, please think twice."

"If the prince who has done so much to me is not qualified to be crowned prince, I feel that other princes are even less qualified."

This is a bit of a prick to people's conscience, but it also comes to the hurdle. If it is really for the sake of a long-term foundation, Qi Zheng is definitely the best choice.

Everyone couldn't help but glanced at Chen Shouye. They were a little surprised. Isn't Chen Tingwei always impartial and never taking positions?Why are you suddenly speaking for the prince at this time?

This change came too fast, and the words of a Jiuqing are not something that anyone can ignore, and his voice is quite important.

Chen Shouye also added, "I have absolutely no selfish intentions. I just want to do something for the royal family. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

It's easy for the Dragon Lord, but how could he not take any risks at all? He stood up at this time and understood that risks and opportunities are equally important.

Everyone: "..."

All the wealth of Tingwei's mansion is on Prince Zheng's body, although Chen Tingwei's words are indeed reasonable.

But it is not unreasonable to choose who will be the prince. No one knows that the king hates Qi Zheng. Chen Tingwei's reckless recklessness this time may capsize the ship.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Qingqi suddenly said, "I think Chen Tingwei is right."

hiss!

Lu Qingqi, one of the three princes, took his position, and it was still Prince Zheng.

Gan Xun and Shang Wang looked at each other. As the three princes, even if they don't stand up, the family can continue to be prosperous. At least when they are alive, the family will not decline. Although they say they don't stand up, the new emperor will be left out There are some of them, but it is safe, and it is safer than standing in a wrong position.

The corner of Chen Bai's mouth couldn't help smiling, and he suddenly said something inexplicable, "There is a mountain in the prince's fiefdom, and there are all kinds of fruit trees planted on the mountain, and the fruits should be ripe in a short time, and they will be sold for a good price at that time. By the way, after selling the money, I will have someone send it to the Mansion of Duke Gan and Duke Shang, as well as several members of the Nine Qings, who will also have to be sent to..."

what?

Even Mr. Gan and Shang Wangshu couldn't help shivering.

"Chen Zifu, don't talk nonsense, since when did we have interests with Prince Zheng?"

Saying this at this time, wouldn't it be misleading.

On the contrary, Chen Bai was surprised, "Why are you so forgetful?"

"Gan Xin from Duke Gan's family, Shang Jujiu from Shang Gong's family, Shang Zhizhou, and the little princes from your family used what they learned to guide the people to plant fruit trees on the mountain. The condition is that when the fruit is ripe, they can eat whatever they want. By the way, take [-]% of the profit..."

At this time, let you break away from the relationship.

Just as someone was about to speak, Chen Bai looked over with a half-smile, "Your Excellency, I'd better think it over."

hiss!

If... If Prince Zheng really suppressed the other princes, if they refused now, wouldn't they offend each other completely.

In the past, at most, they just didn't speak for the prince's government. Even if they were liquidated in the end, they wouldn't have any major problems, but now it's different. If they refuse, they will be the first to be liquidated.

Chen Zifu was forcing them to make a choice.

The point is that it was impossible for Prince Zheng to become a prince no matter how you look at it before, but can it be the same now?The momentum of the prince's administration simply overwhelmed the other princes by several blocks.

What to do with this, Chen Zifu actually directly pushed them into a dilemma, and I don't know how many people looked at Chen Bai with red eyes.

When they sent their children to study in the past, they just saw that they could learn something, but they never thought that they would become their weakness today.

This matter is not big or small, if the new emperor is small-minded, what if he minds that they had conflicts of interest with the prince?

Although they probably don't pay attention to the [-]% profit, and it is probably just a child's play, but in the end, there is an interest dispute with the prince's government, and it is possible to make people feel bad.

I don't know how many people blew their noses and stared, their faces were flushed for a while, and it's not right to refuse, or not to refuse.

Even Gan Xun and Shang Wangshu looked at each other.

Suddenly, the king next to him said, "Very good, my writing master is really good."

Chen Boxin trembled for a moment. It is not appropriate for a bachelor to write a book. His attitude is so obvious now that it is very inappropriate. But if these people are not included in the army at this time, Qi Zheng's situation will be even more difficult.

Fortunately, although the king's face was unhappy, he didn't say anything. That's right, the point now is not that he is a bachelor who writes.

The king snorted coldly. He sent someone to check the relationship between Chen Bai and Qi Zheng. He thought it was mediocre, but he didn't expect...

It's like he never thought that Tingwei's Mansion was completely on the side of the prince's government.

The current situation is actually very clear, Gan Xun and Shang Wangshu are a little vacillating, and the other nine ministers have their own positions.

Lu Qingqi, one of the three lords, and the Tingwei Mansion, one of the Nine Ministers, obviously sided with the prince's government, and the prince's government also brought incomparable achievements to Daqian.

In fact, the form of Qizheng is not bad.

Of course, the most important thing is His Majesty's decision, no matter how much they do, it will only affect His Majesty's decision.

The king was about to speak when the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, who was watching all the time, suddenly said, "The news that was sent this morning said that the Yan Kingdom has joined the alliance between the Ba Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom..."

Hiss, it's really shocking and endless, Ba, Wei, Yan, the three big countries have formed an alliance, this... how does this make other countries survive.

The swaying Yan State agreed to form an alliance, and I am afraid that it is not without reason for a large army to suppress the border.

Of course, now is not the time.

The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng continued, "Whether I can survive in the increasingly chaotic world depends on how the king chooses. Don't let the king become the king of subjugation just because of a momentary mood."

The language is plain, but the content in it is probably only the Empress Dowager Zhao Sheng can dare to say it.

Chen Bo was stunned for a moment. Although the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng seemed to be just saying a word of persuasion, her choice was vaguely revealed in it.

Chen Bo's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, the step of summoning the Empress Dowager is really important...

Chen Bo hurriedly added, "I, the Grand Duke, need to guard the gate of the country for me. As the saying goes, the prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. I hope your majesty will think twice."

And the one who has the ability to lead a large group of people to guard the country, no matter how you look at it, is Qi Zheng who has shown some military capabilities.

"..."

After a while, the king suddenly laughed, "It seems that you are more impatient than me."

"Alright, the position of crown prince can be won by those who are capable. Three days later, all the princes of my direct line will bring their disciples to compete. Under the witness of my senior officials and the witnesses of my common people Next, the winner will be the crown prince for me, fair and just, are you satisfied?"

Chen Bo was stunned, he never thought that there would be such a result, the king actually gave the choice to the princes themselves.

The others also opened their mouths.

But it does seem to be the fairest.

A battle for standing reserves has come to an end, but it has just begun.

After everyone left, only the empress dowager Zhaosheng and the king remained in the bedroom.

In the silence, the voice of the king came, "My mother let the three armies suppress the country of Yan, just to seek justice, or deliberately transferred all the troops, leaving no one around me available, and finally had to take care of everyone like now consider."

The old lady opened the door, and a voice came from a distance, "You know what you are asking, why bother? As my king, I am supposed to inherit the destiny of heaven and respond to the people. I have never heard of a king who is determined to do his own thing can start well and end well."

The king had a wry smile on his face, and he couldn't help but think of the female general in armor back then, and the voice that was so flat that it seemed to have no emotion, "Although you are weak among the princes, at least you have great responsibilities in your heart. From today onwards, you are a big man." King of Gan, live for Dagan, die for Dagan, can you do it?"

……

Chen Bo went to the Qi government mansion, and now he has entered and left the Qi government mansion a little blatantly, so there is probably nothing to hide, hey.

"Are we winning the first battle?" Chen Bai was a little happy, at least the king finally gave Qi Zheng a fair chance.

Qi Zheng smiled wryly, and looked at Chen Bai, "The rules of Dabi have just been transmitted from the palace."

"Each prince's retainer strategist can only compete once at most."

This is obviously a rule set against the tiger in his house. Who doesn't know that the first disciple in his house has the ability to defeat a hundred with one enemy. It's just one game.

Chen Bo was stunned for a while, "And this rule, I don't seem to have seen the other diners in your house."

Qi Zheng's face turned black, "It's not that you said that you are enough, I didn't pay much attention to recruiting customers."

Chen Bo's mouth became O-shaped.

Damn it, the king actually saved a hand.

The big competition is coming soon, where to go for a while to let Qi Zheng go.
