Although everyone had thought of this day for a long time, they never thought it would happen so soon!
Zhao Boxiao and others suddenly felt the pressure, but things might happen faster than they thought!
Wang Yuan and others stayed here for a day and returned to Dawang Village the next day.
It is naturally extremely safe along the way.
At this moment in the capital city, Emperor Xinglong's palace, he was lying on the bed, exhausted.
In recent days, his body has become worse and worse than before, and he feels as if he is in his twilight years!
"Your Majesty, how are you?"
The Queen, Concubine Xian and other concubines were waiting here, their eyes full of worry.
But everyone's expression is different. They all have their own hidden agendas and don't know what they are thinking!
A look of worry flashed across Bai Yanfei's face. Emperor Xinglong suddenly acted like this. She didn't know what happened. Could it be the sequelae of the last drug? Did it hurt her body? ???
As for Concubine Xian, she was even more nervous!
Because this is the medicine she administered!
If anyone discovers this, she will be guilty of implicating the nine clans!
But fortunately, the imperial doctor couldn't find anything at all, which made her feel relieved.
Below, several princes were there, and the eldest prince Yong'er was kneeling on the ground with a worried look on his face.
There are also many ministers outside the door, all waiting here nervously.
The left prime minister and the right prime minister are the leaders, standing in the front, followed by six ministers behind them.
"Your Majesty's dragon body is getting worse day by day. The matter of establishing an heir has not been decided yet, what should we do?"
"Yes! We should establish the Eastern Palace as early as possible and let the prince supervise state affairs. If we don't establish the Eastern Palace, I'm afraid there will be problems!"
"Hey... I don't know if His Majesty's health will get better today. If he does, no matter what, I will let Your Majesty decide on the position of the East Palace!"
All the ministers are very anxious!
Throughout history, all royal disputes are conflicts over the establishment of a crown prince. If the crown prince is not established early, it will definitely bring disaster to Xiao Qiang!
This is a conclusion and a theorem!
I don't know how long it took before Emperor Xinglong finally woke up.
"How long have I been unconscious...?"
After saying this, all the concubines became excited, and the imperial doctor quickly came over to check her pulse.
"Your Majesty, it's been two full days..."
The imperial doctor spoke hurriedly, and after the voice fell, Emperor Xinglong looked a little ugly.
"It's been so long..."
He sighed. He never thought that his body would become like this!
"Your Majesty, please have a good rest. My concubines and others are all waiting here."
Queen Bai Yanfei spoke hurriedly. After hearing this, the other concubines didn't say anything and just knelt there, behaved.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers are here. They have something to report."
At this time, the head eunuch Ouchi whispered hastily.
Emperor Xinglong took a deep breath and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty... it's still for the sake of establishing an heir..."
After the chief eunuch finished speaking, Emperor Xinglong looked extremely ugly!
"I am bedridden with these bastards who have no king and no father. They are still thinking about raising an heir!"
Although Emperor Xinglong was angry, he also knew why these ministers were acting like this!
After all, if you don’t swear an oath, your body will really collapse and become unstable easily!
My beloved concubines, from the queen on down, are not that simple!
I have a total of five princes. Except for the newly born baby, the others may compete for the position of the Eastern Palace!
only……
He doesn't want to!
After all, I have not achieved my great ambitions,
Not willing to do this!
"Your Majesty, you will definitely be in good health. We will discuss the matter of establishing an heir in the future."
Bai Yanfei said hurriedly.
Hearing this, the concubines all frowned and said nothing.
They all have a chance, but the queen's child has just been born, so the chance is slim. She naturally needs time!
But when the Queen spoke, they did not dare to lie!
After all, she is respected in the inner palace!
Emperor Xinglong sighed and said calmly, "I will consider this matter. Now there is no one to regulate the country's affairs. Let the left and right ministers come in, and everyone else, please go out."
After Emperor Xinglong finished speaking, no one dared to say anything and all retreated.
Not long after, left prime minister Yang Fengguo and right prime minister Bao Qingshi walked in.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
The two hurriedly knelt on the ground, extremely respectful.
"No need to be polite, just get up."
Emperor Xinglong lay there and coughed.
"Your Majesty, you are not feeling well. Otherwise, we can talk about it later?"
Yang Fengguo looked nervous.
Although he knew that His Majesty was not the Holy Lord, seeing Emperor Xinglong like this now made him extremely sad and sad!
The same was true for Bao Qingshi. No matter what, he struggled with Zuo Xiang for power, but he was loyal to Emperor Xinglong!
"Above the imperial court, I am most at ease with the two of you. Now that my body is getting worse day by day, who do you think will be the master of the East Palace?"
Emperor Xinglong let them in, naturally to discuss this matter.
Whether he is willing or not, the matter must be settled!
He can't play with the country like this. If he passes away, without the Eastern Palace, and his princes fight for power, the world will be in chaos!
"Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of His Majesty's Sacred Heart's dictatorship. We have no objection."
Hearing this, Yang Fengguo spoke hurriedly, with a nervous expression on his face.
He knew that His Majesty was suspicious, so he naturally did not dare to say anything more.
Emperor Xinglong waved his hand, "Today I ask you to speak. If you don't say it, if you don't say it well, I will kill you!"
At this moment, he spoke directly, with determination in his eyes.
After hearing this, Yang Fengguo and Bao Qingshi hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully.
"I obey your orders."
Emperor Xinglong nodded, very satisfied, and said, "Right Minister, please tell me first, who will be the master of the East Palace and supervise the government?"
Bao Qingshi thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, all the princes are His Majesty's children. They are the chosen sons of Heaven. All of them are extremely heroic and extraordinary. I dare not say anything unreasonable about who will become the Lord of the East Palace, but... ministers...
The one with the highest voice is the eldest prince."
Emperor Xinglong glanced at Bao Qingshi and said calmly, "I'm not asking anyone else, I'm asking you! What do you think?"
Bao Qingshi took a deep breath, thought for a long time, and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that if there is really a prince who can become the master of the East Palace, I think the eldest prince would be more suitable."
"Tell me your reasons."
Emperor Xinglong narrowed his eyes and asked casually.
Bao Qingshi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is extremely talented and intelligent, and the princes are the oldest, so... I think it is most suitable."
Emperor Xinglong nodded, "I understand, Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think?"
Yang Fengguo had been listening all the time. After thinking for a moment, he thought and said, "Your Majesty, although the eldest prince is very suitable, but... he is still young. Since he wants to supervise the state affairs, he naturally needs someone to rely on."
"If His Majesty is in good health, then he is a suitable candidate, or... with Your Majesty here, any prince will be fine."
