The first thousand two hundred and forty-two chapters of the crown prince
After King Cheng is eradicated, the remaining underground organization of Mingyue Tower should be slowly investigated by the Beijing camp and local governments.
It is true that this will be very slow and some things will be lost.
But in this way, the members of Mingyue Tower who are hiding in various places will take chances and will not choose to fight to the death.
Even some smart people will take the opportunity to cut off their relationship with Mingyue Tower.
You must know that in order to be admitted into the Mingyue Tower by King Cheng, except for the yellow-numbered members who rely on their numbers, the members of the other three halls all have certain abilities.
Once these people cut off their relationship with Mingyue Tower, they may not be unable to be used by the court.
Anyway, King Cheng is dead, and the Mingyue Tower organization is destined to collapse. As long as Di Xin and the old emperor pretend to be confused, they will be the ones who benefit in the end.
Of course, this is only for ordinary Mingyue Tower members.
Delaying the imperial court's destruction of Mingyue Tower also bought time for the old emperor to subdue some of its members.
The old emperor didn't care about other people, but he couldn't leave the Tianzihao members of Mingyue Tower alone.
Those who can become members of the Tianzihao either have reached the second level of cultivation or have some very special ability.
These are all talented people. Whether they are killed or allowed to leave, it will be a loss for Dali.
Di Xin was going on an expedition and did not want to leave unstable factors around him, but the old emperor had no such worries while sitting in the capital.
With the imperial court enshrining and protecting them, as long as those people surrendered, he would have plenty of time to slowly conquer them.
Of course, the old emperor would also make corresponding arrangements for those who refused to surrender.
For those who hate the imperial court, no matter how powerful they are, the old emperor will not hesitate at all. For those who will not cause trouble to the imperial court, even if they want to roam the world, as long as they are willing to accept the supervision of the imperial court, they can be let go.
.
Of course, the purpose of letting them go is also to continue to conquer them later.
The desire for talents among those in power will never weaken even a little bit.
However, these are private matters between Di Xin and the old emperor, and will not be brought to the public.
On the surface, both of them would support the destruction of Mingyue Tower 100%.
And when all these things were arranged, it seemed that the time had exceeded the usual time of a court meeting, but the old emperor did not announce the end of the court meeting.
The officials looked at the expressionless old emperor and the equally calm and composed Prince Yu, and there was a vague suspicion in their hearts.
really.
After a moment of silence, the old emperor's majestic voice sounded from the throne.
"If something like this happens, I also have a certain responsibility."
As if he had issued an "edict to sin against himself", he sighed and said: "If I hadn't allowed the boss and the second brother too much and encouraged their ambitions, and they had stayed on their own terms, there would not have been the disaster today."
All the officials remained silent.
The old emperor continued: "In the past, I always thought that I still had time, so I could slowly train a few princes and then select the most suitable successor."
"But now it seems that the ministers are right. If we decide on the candidate for the prince as soon as possible, things like today will not happen."
All the officials straightened their bodies slightly.
Obviously, the old emperor's words pricked their suspicions.
But this is not difficult to predict.
The old emperor had nine sons. Although each of them had the right to inherit in name, in fact there were only a few who were qualified to sit in that position.
Among them, the eighth prince Zhao Xiangqi was so self-aware that he gave up the fight for the throne from the beginning and at most only supported a certain brother.
There are also some who overestimate their own capabilities and have already been defeated in the struggle.
In the end, there were only four people qualified to compete for the throne.
Among them, the second prince forced a confession and rebelled, destroying the Great Wall; the third prince lost to the eldest prince in a fight.
And so, the eldest prince was suspected of colluding with foreign tribes, raising private soldiers and resisting arrest, so he was killed on the spot by the fifth prince.
Now the only one left who is qualified to inherit the throne is the fifth prince, His Royal Highness Prince Yu, who is still standing in the main hall.
Moreover, what happened last night was obviously that the fifth prince took the emperor's permission before acting, and even took out the token.
The choice of the Holy One is now obvious.
Baiguan also had no other choice.
Since the outcome has been decided, showing kindness to the future Crown Prince is naturally the best thing to do.
Immediately, an official stood up and before the emperor could speak, he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "I beg you to declare that His Royal Highness King Yu will be crowned prince."
"I would like to invite you to declare that His Royal Highness King Yu will be crowned prince."
If one person stands up, others will naturally not be outdone.
Swish, swish, swish...
In just a moment, two-thirds of the officials in the hall knelt down.
As for praising Di Xin, there is no need.
With the name of "Wise King", he is loved by the people; he is kind and kind, and he did not compete with other princes when he was in the capital; he opened up territories for his ancestors and made great contributions...
Say whatever sounds nice to you.
Di Xin stood at the front, curling his lips slightly from an angle that no one could see.
If the old emperor hadn't just expressed his intention to establish the throne, he would have doubted whether the officials wanted to praise him and kill him.
When you praise him so much in front of the current emperor, are you worried that he is not feared enough?
But he didn't show much.
As for the old emperor's fear...
The alliance between the two has been clearly stated, so naturally this little statement cannot affect the relationship between the two.
Since they don't object, it's easy to handle.
In this way, with the tacit cooperation between the old emperor and the officials, it was decided that Emperor Xin would be established as the prince.
It can be said that it has been unprecedentedly smooth since the great departure of the DPRK.
However, Di Xin also knew that the success of today's court meeting was inseparable from previous efforts.
The formal imperial edict will not be officially announced until it is drawn up. After that, there will be a series of things such as worshiping ancestors and paying homage to heaven and earth.
The procedures for establishing a prince are many and complicated, but it is not a big deal, as long as you follow the steps.
But there is one thing that can be done in advance.
Supervise the country.
The prince oversees the country.
Before the end of today's court meeting, the old emperor gave the position of supervisor to Di Xin.
The prince is the name, and the governor is the power.
After today, Di Xin will be a famous and powerful prince.
He is also the undisputed successor to the throne of the Dali Dynasty.
The next emperor of Dali.
…
By the time the meeting ended, it was already approaching noon.
After returning to Prince Yu's Mansion, the first thing Emperor Xin did was to send people to withdraw all the guards who were guarding Prince Cheng's Mansion.
The second thing is to have someone hang a sign outside the door.
