Chapter 3209: The Prince
Lin Haoming was warning his son not to tell Miss Lin’s story, and then the matter fell into peace until the emperor’s birthday came.
This birthday party is not only the emperor's 25th birthday, but also the fact that he would announce the enthronement of the crown prince was also heard. This made people in the capital talk about this matter, and many people even asked Duke Zhenguo who should be appointed as the crown prince.
The current emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight and married him three years older than him at the age of fourteen. The daughter of General Han Zhen of Zhen was made her wife the queen. However, Empress Han had only become the queen for four years and died due to a serious illness. She only gave birth to one princess in four years. Now among the concubines favored by the emperor in the palace, only Concubine Jin and Concubine Xian gave birth to a prince. However, Concubine Jin was the daughter of General Bai Feng of Pingxi, and Concubine Xian was the princess of Xuanwu Kingdom. Although this Concubine Xian was indeed beautiful and gentle, as the princess of Xuanwu Kingdom, even if the emperor favored her, she was unlikely to make her child the prince. Therefore, most people think that Concubine Jin's son was made the prince and she had a greater chance of becoming the queen.
"The matter of enthroning the crown prince has been a lot of controversy this month, and I have never expressed my opinion. Tell me what I should say if the emperor asks me then?" A few days before the birthday party, Ye Xuansheng gathered everyone in the family with Ye Dingfeng's birthday.
"Logically speaking, he should support Concubine Jin, but after Bai Feng took over my position, he cleared many of me in the southwest. He had a deep conflict with my Ye family. Even if my father supports him, he might not be able to sell you to his father, especially because he is ambitious, I am afraid..."
"If you support Xianfei, I'm afraid someone will say that I am familiar with foreign countries, right?" Ye Xuansheng sneered.
"If King Yong hadn't left so suddenly, you could pretend to be crazy and foolish. Unfortunately, if you pretend now, you're a little overdoing!" Lin Haoming also spoke.
"Last brother, what do you think?" Ye Xuansheng asked.
"Dad, if you decide to leave the court, just show your attitude first, or never speak!" Ye Chiren said.
"Yes, I think so too. Don't fight with them, let them fight for it themselves!" Ye Xuansheng sneered.
"Dingfeng, what's wrong with you today? You've been stunned?" Ye Chiren asked about his son.
"I... I was thinking that we must have our people in the harem. Bai Feng has always been wrong with us. Since this is the case, why don't you support Xianfei? What do you mean by foreign affairs? Our Ye family is born and die for Xuanxi Country. I don't believe that there will be people who believe it!"
"This is not a question that some people believe, but a question of whether there is any excuse once that person wants to kill us." Ye Chide sighed.
"Since that's the case, we might as well kill the dog emperor. Dad, that day was an opportunity. I am on duty. As long as the arrangement is done, the dog emperor will surely die. At that time, Dad, you will call out to the top. With your prestige in Xuanxi Kingdom, there will definitely be many people willing to stand on your side. Our Ye family will not have the opportunity to replace him!" Ye Dingfeng shouted anxiously.
"Dingfeng, your ambition seems to be getting bigger and bigger!" Ye Chiren frowned.
"You really can replace it. You think my grandfather is really willing to stay. Do you know how the Nangong family built a country in the painting? That's because the Xuanwu Kingdom wanted to destroy the Yuzhou Sword Sect. However, Huang Longzi's master was still alive. He was angry and killed the Xuanwu Kingdom's national master. He also thought that the Xuanwang of the Sanxuan was also very injured. But even so, the Nangong family received the absolute support of the Yuzhou Sword Sect, which led to the current situation of the three-legged tripod in the Yuzhou Continent. We had a good relationship with Nangong Xi. When we helped King Yong, Nangong Xi was just watching the wall because this was a struggle within the Nangong family. But if we wanted to replace it, this ancestor of the Nangong family, do you think he would watch us do this?"
"Nangong Xi is really a royal family?" Ye Dingfeng asked.
"Do you think he was a long time ago, when the royal family selected some illegitimate sons and sent them to the Yuzhou Sword Sect. Xuanxi Kingdom was indeed weak at the time, so the Yuzhou Sword Sect could cultivate two Xuanwang masters, one light and one dark, to take charge. This was also what the King Yong told me, and this is why I would rather retire than fight to the death!" Ye Xuansheng said helplessly.
"Brother-in-law, you and Senior Huang Longzi are not close friends. This time you go to Changlong Mountain, are there no benefits? I heard that a disciple of the Yuzhou Sword Sect came back with you!"
"Yes, it was sent by Senior Huang Longzi, who said he was protecting me!" Lin Haoming said.
"Dingfeng, you don't understand the meaning of the Yuzhou Sword Sect. Obviously, they will not pay attention to things that do not threaten the Yuzhou Sword Sect. Huang Longzi will at most send someone to protect our life and death." Ye Xuansheng sighed.
Hearing this, Ye Dingfeng looked as if he had lost his strength.
"Three, you have to look at your son carefully. In the past two years, I have become more and more aware that he is not as steady as before. He is always worried about gains and losses when doing things!" After the meeting, Ye Xuansheng still called Ye Chiren to his side and gave a few words.
Lin Haoming also looked at Ye Dingfeng and felt that the boy was a little strange, but he didn't care, because if the other party wanted to make a move, he would definitely be one of them, and as long as he waited, there would be a result.
Because the emperor's birthday party was about to be held, the guards of the inner guards were busy and additional personnel were dispatched in various positions. Ye Dingfeng also patrolled day and night as required.
"Master Ye!" On the eve of the birthday party, Ye Dingfeng, who was on duty, suddenly a sharp voice came into his ears while patrolling.
"Eunuch Ma!" Ye Dingfeng saw the person who called him clearly, immediately looked around, and found that there was no one, so he came over.
"Eunuch Ma, why are you here in the outer palace?" Ye Dingfeng asked in a low voice. The Xuanxi Kingdom Palace is very external palace and internal palace. Men in the inner palace are not allowed to enter. Even Ye Dingfeng, the general guard of the guard, cannot enter without the emperor's permission. Similarly, eunuchs generally do not come to the outer palace.
"Mr. Ye, I have no choice. The Empress is in danger!" Eunuch Ma said with an anxious look.
"What does it mean?" Ye Dingfeng asked.
"Mr. Ye is not clear that Concubine Jin will be made the queen soon. At that time, Concubine Xian will not have a good life. Moreover, if General Ye does not consider Concubine Xian, he will always consider his son!" Eunuch Ma said with great thought.
"Eunuch Ma, what do you mean?" Ye Dingfeng asked with his eyes narrowed and stared at him.
Eunuch Ma sighed and said, "Mr. Ye, do you think you and the Empress will not have anybody knows that the child born to Mr. Ye is yours. After the Empress is born, she has found someone to check it out."
