Chapter 279
The eldest prince and the second prince scrambled to fight each other. When they moved their eyes away from each other for a moment, they discovered some problems.
When they didn't know, how could the third prince, who was only eleven years old, leave the palace every day?
It’s okay if you leave the palace every day, why are you still sticking to the Taifu?
It’s okay to stick to the Taifu, but why does it seem that the Taifu is quite friendly to the third brother when he is not rude to them?
The eldest prince and the second prince made a big alarm in his heart.
But this is nothing. What shocked the eldest prince and the second prince even more was that the Grand Tutor assigned homework to the three of them, but the third brother didn't know how to answer the homework. Anyway, he always got the praise from the Grand Tutor, but the Grand Tutor asked their homework only a business question.
This shouldn't be... After a long time, the eldest prince was also confused. His homework answers were discussed with his staff. Many of his views were very mature. How could the third child live in the palace be better than his and second child?
However, the second prince first realized that he basically did his homework later, but after doing it himself, the gap in the quality of the second prince and the third prince became even more obvious.
Heng Yu praised the third prince more.
The eldest prince was so angry that his younger brothers were really not good things. The second brothers fought with him, and the third brother could even make so many troubles at such a young age.
For a moment, the eldest prince didn't know whether he should have thought of a way to ease his relationship with the Grand Tutor. Now, he really regretted offending the Grand Tutor back then, and he really regretted it so much that his intestines were blushed.
If he hadn't offended the Grand Tutor, the position of crown prince might have fallen to him early.
When the eldest prince mentioned this matter to his father-in-law and the father of the eldest prince's concubine, the Minister of Works, the Minister of Works shook his head and said, "It is necessary to ease the relationship with the Grand Tutor, but your highness does not need to learn from the Third Prince. Your Highness has errands. As long as you work hard, your performance will be taken in your eyes by Your Majesty and the Grand Tutor."
"But why should your Highness worry about the third prince? Your Majesty will not understand the truth that the Lord is doubtful.
Among the three things, the third prince is not a legitimate son or a eldest son. He is still young and has not been on duty, and he cannot tell his potential. As long as you perform well, your Majesty will definitely be more in favor of you."
After the eldest prince was comforted and left with satisfaction, the Minister of Works here sat on the chair of the Grand Master and sighed.
"Why did my father lament, what you said to the eldest prince just now..." Ning Zhuang, the eldest son of the Minister of Works, frowned slightly, with a confused expression.
"At present, I can only hope that the third prince will not be too in line with the taste of the Grand Tutor, otherwise the Master of the Young Master will doubt what the hell is."
Ning Zhuang was shocked, "Why did my father say this? Although my son has heard of the reputation of the Taifu for a long time, he also knows the truth that there is no empty scholar under his reputation. However, the affairs of the crown prince are a major event of the country. How can one easily make a conclusion just because the Taifu is alone?"
The Minister of Works looked at his son who was still confused and shook his head, "You young people, you obviously grew up listening to the romantic past of our generation, but because the tiger was lazy, she thought she had lost her sharp claws."
If the tiger loses its sharp claws, how could she sit in the position of the Grand Tutor and look down at the world safely?
How many people covet her position, how many people are eyeing her, how high and dangerous it is to stand... These things are something that people who do not have high positions cannot understand.
Ningzhuang wanted to ask more details, but the Minister of Works had silently closed his eyes and rested.
A few days later, at the grand court meeting, Qi Ling, who was forced to go to court, faced the memorial and military officials who asked the prince to be appointed.
The Minister of Works was standing in front of the civil servants, and the old god was closing his eyes.
He has inquired about the performance of the third prince these days. It has to be said that the third prince was taught very well by the Queen and had outstanding qualifications. If he was given more time, the third prince might become the most favorable competitor to the position of crown prince.
Therefore, the Minister of Works could not wait. If he was forced by the situation now, perhaps His Majesty would have to bite the bullet and establish the crown prince. The most likely person to be the crown prince is the eldest prince.
Qi Ling sat on the dragon chaise, her crown hanging down to cover her pale face, but her rosy lips looked pale and bloodless. He sat silently on his head, not knowing what he thought of, but his eyes were casting towards Heng Yu.
The eyes of all civil and military officials also fell on Heng Yu one by one.
The eldest prince and the second prince's eyes also fell on Heng Yu, and it was hard to say whether they were expecting or something.
With the eyes of the people in the palace, Heng Yu took a few steps calmly and leaned over and said, "The crown prince is the foundation of a country. It has been established early. What you said is very much. But what you and Your Majesty are concerned about is nothing more than the crown prince's candidate.
In my opinion, the eldest prince is cheerful and generous, the second prince is gentle and modest, the third prince is smart and has the style of His Majesty, and the candidate for the crown prince can be selected from these three people."
Very good, really good. The feeling of being forced to be enthroned by civil and military officials in the court is really displeased.
Didn’t they want to force her and Qi Ling to decide the position of crown prince early? Then she would express her opinion.
The third prince has the style of His Majesty, and the candidate she likes is the third prince. She wants to see how the Minister of Works and others should make a move.
In the court, there was a moment of silence.
"Didn't you please establish a prince? I have expressed my own opinion. Do you agree or disagree?" She glanced coldly below, looked around and finally fell on the people at the forefront of the two civil and military rows.
"Your Majesty, I think the king is a little suspicious. The crown prince should choose from the second prince of the eldest prince, and the third prince..." With Heng Yu's cold gaze, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works gritted his teeth and stepped out, "Although the third prince is smart, he is quite young, and his qualifications are still difficult to distinguish."
"Your Majesty was convinced by his ten-year-old age, so that I was willing to assist him and finally unify the world. What is the matter of the Lord's Kingdom? The candidate for the crown prince is only about the right person, not the age of age.
If you ask about age, some people will be a Jinshi at the age of twenty, and some people will be a Jinshi at the age of forty. Can you say that the ministers at the age of twenty are not as good as those at the age of forty? You are listed in the court and are important officials of the military and country. Why is your vision so narrow?" Heng Yu sneered and asked calmly.
After Heng Yu asked this, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works was flushed, but he had nothing to say and bowed down.
Seeing that there were other ministers who wanted to go out to argue with her, Qi Ling's breath above was already messy, Heng Yu's eyebrows were slightly raised, "How can you decide easily? Why don't you discuss it again?"
The eunuch general accepted the look of His Majesty, stepped forward, and whispered: "Retreat!"
All the civil and military officials of the court left the Palace of Supreme Harmony, Heng Yu was behind, Zong Gu was waiting for her at the door of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, and when she walked out of the palace, they held hands and walked out of the palace in the lazy sunshine.
When the two walked to the carriage, there were only a few carriages left around. The cabinet chief stood by the carriage, looking at Zong Gu and Heng Yu who were carrying each other with a smile.
"Is the third prince really so outstanding? So outstanding that you are willing to win such an opportunity for him."
Heng Yu paused slightly and chuckled, "I don't want to assist the incompetent people. But the world still needs me, and I promised that Your Majesty would assist the next emperor well, so I couldn't retreat, so I had to choose a fairly satisfactory crown prince for myself."
Still so domineering.
Because she was not happy, because the eldest prince and the second prince were not outstanding enough to win her favor, she could stand up to the pressure of her and insist on her own initiative when she had other choices.
No, is this arbitrary action?
The cabinet chief looked at her face that had not faded with time and sighed softly: "You have been right after knowing each other for more than twenty years."
"Yes, no matter what chess I play, I have always been the winner. You, a friend who has known and intertwined me for more than 20 years, would you believe in me again?"
The chief minister of the cabinet stroked his neatly moustache and raised his head and smiled, "I believe in you, what do you think of as a reward?"
"I stepped on the border to the iron cavalry, unify the world, ushered in prosperity and prosperity, and truly peace and prosperity for the country and the people." Heng Yu said lightly.
Zong Gu held her hand. Although these hands were soft and had a faint warmth, its owner turned his hand into clouds and had the power to kill and kill his hands.
"You have been lazy and neglected over the years." The chief minister of the cabinet said seriously.
"So you need to be more diligent in the next few years." Heng Yu nodded.
When it comes to smart people, they never need to speak directly, and the two have a tacit understanding.
The two of them were speechless, and then they got on the carriage.
Zong Gu slightly lifted up the carriage curtain and looked at the snowy scenery outside the car window.
The cabinet chief minister formed an alliance with Heng Yu. Although there are still some details, the overall situation has been decided.
As soon as Qi Jing finished her study class, the queen sent someone to take him to the palace.
After hearing the queen's words, Qi Jing couldn't help but feel a little excited even though she was precocious. "The Grand Tutor really wants me? Then, in this way, my son has the confidence to compete with his two brothers."
At first, he had never thought about that position, but the queen had no son. After his mother deliberately tried to please her, Qi Jing, who was still young at that time, became close to the queen.
Qi Jing was respectful to the queen but not lost her closeness, so the queen tried to take care of him. After using her heart, Qi Jing was trained very well.
If his brother had outstanding qualifications, Qi Jing would naturally not have any other thoughts, but those two brothers had mediocre qualifications and were taught more and more outstandingly, Qi Jing would inevitably have thoughts.
"Mother, my son wants to fight." At this time, Qi Jing still remembered that when he was chatting with the queen that day, he suddenly felt something and subconsciously said this sentence.
The queen was surprised and asked him repeatedly, "The dispute over the throne is no better than anything else. If it fails, maybe she will be trapped in the cabinet for the rest of her life and cannot show her ambitions."
Qi Jing said that she had made up her mind, so the queen began to plan for him.
The plan for more than half a year has not failed. Although he now has various disadvantages, he can get the support of the Taifu and has the strength to compete.
After pondering for a while, the queen suggested: "There are still quarrels in the court during this period. Please keep a calm mind and everything will be the same. Just be closer to the Taifu, and ask the Taifu more questions you don't understand, so that she can guide you and deepen your relationship."
Qi Jing agreed.
After Heng Yu reached a tacit understanding with many people, she found that there was a little ghost behind her.
In the past, when Qi Jing asked her questions, she always thought about it more and then asked her teachers. If she could not even answer the teacher who taught her, she would come to find Hengyu.
But now Qi Jing skipped the middle step directly, and asked Heng Yu directly if he couldn't solve the problem.
Heng Yu didn't have so much time to take care of the children, but he knew Qi Jing's plan, so he threw Qi Jing away to Zong Gu. She took care of her clothes and stood up to visit the Minister of Works of Ning Mansion.
No one knew what the two had had a secret conversation. When Ningzhuang learned the news, he rushed back from the yamen, he saw his father sitting on the Grand Master's chair, lowering his head and drinking with a cup of tea, his expression was dim and unclear.
He got closer and heard his father's low sigh-
"How could anyone win all the time?"
In the autumn of the 22nd year of Qingping, at the court meeting, the third prince Qi Jing was enthroned as the crown prince and announced the imperial edict of the world.
All the court was shocked, but the civil and military officials were in high positions and were silent, as if they had reached a tacit understanding between them.
