Chapter 278

In Xianfu Palace, inside the Buddhist hall, Concubine Duan is still banging the wooden fish.

This is already the fourth day after the election of the crown prince. Although she is knocking on the wooden fish at the moment, Concubine Duan's heart is obviously not here.

She is waiting, waiting for the past to make waves.

Zhao Weilong and her have reached a cooperation, and one of the conditions is that the other party reports to the court and requests that Zhao Yanting and Zhao Yanxun be crowned princes.

As soon as Zhao Weilong starts playing, Concubine Duan will be ready to use force to suppress Zhao Weiheng.

There is a problem here. Promoting Zhao Yanxun as the crown prince means confirming that he is dead.

Although Concubine Duan could not confirm it, when she thought of the terror of zombies and the fact that dozens of groups of people were sent to search for him without any results, Concubine Duan herself felt that Zhao Yanxun's chance of survival was slim.

Under such circumstances, Concubine Duan felt that it was worthwhile to rectify her dead son's name as crown prince.

When she thought of Zhao Weiheng being suppressed and all the Queen's hard work being in vain, Concubine Duan felt extremely happy.

At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded outside, but it was Lingsu who walked over quickly.

"Empress, His Highness Changsun has already submitted a memorial, and more than ten ministers have jointly submitted a petition to request that the two Highnesses be crowned crown princes!"

The sound of the wooden fish stopped immediately. Concubine Duan took a deep breath and said, "Get ready, I want to meet the emperor!"

"yes!"

Since Concubine Duan was interrogated by the emperor more than a month ago, the emperor himself has never been to Xianfu Palace again.

Concubine Duan knew that although the emperor was persuaded by him at the time, he still doubted her later.

Therefore, this matter is very complicated. There is suspicion but no investigation. This in itself proves the special relationship between the emperor and Concubine Duan.

Today, Concubine Duan will take advantage of this feeling.

In the Qian'an Palace, more than a dozen officials, including the emperor's eldest grandson, presented a memorial, which stirred up Zhao Yongcheng's heart.

"Requesting that Lao Si and Xiao Jiu be crowned princes, what kind of trick is this?"

Zhao Yongcheng, the eldest grandson of the emperor, could understand if Zhao Yongcheng was the instigator of these people. But this time it was Zhao Weilong, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Could it be said that these two groups have joined forces?

It must be said that Zhao Yongcheng has extremely high political acumen and easily guessed the possibility.

The selection of the crown prince has ended, and the results of the selection can only be used as a reference. Zhao Yongcheng himself still knows these juniors in many ways.

Therefore, in recent days, Zhao Yongcheng has been investigating the past deeds of these juniors and is preparing to conduct face-to-face examinations in the next few days.

After the two aspects of the investigation are completed, and combined with the recommendation of the courtiers, Zhao Yongcheng can decide on the candidate for the crown prince.

In the main hall, Zhao Yongcheng sighed: "The fourth child has been dead for many years, so I can make him the crown prince. This is a regret for me!"

Chen Changhe on the side listened and nodded immediately.

As a master and servant for more than thirty years, Chen Changhe himself was either a bystander or a participant in all Zhao Yongcheng's experiences after he became emperor.

"But Xiaojiu..."

Chasing the title of Zhao Yanxun made Zhao Yongcheng a little entangled because he did not want to believe that his son was dead.

What emerged in Zhao Yongcheng's mind at this moment was the afternoon half a year ago when Zhao Yanxun personally refused to compete for the crown prince position.

At that time, the border was in a critical situation, the state affairs were corrupt, and the court officials were pressing hard. It was the time when Zhao Yongcheng was in a state of despair.

Zhao Yanxun took the initiative to retire and helped Zhao Yongcheng eliminate a big trouble, so he had special feelings for his son at that moment.

In addition, what makes Zhao Yongcheng pay special attention to Zhao Yanxun is the sacred aura he carries.

If he hadn't dreamed of the gods, if it hadn't been for his warning before leaving, Zhao Yongcheng would never have been able to react quickly when the zombies broke out.

In this case, the entire Jin Dynasty would be destroyed.

In this way, although Zhao Yanxun is no longer alive, he saved Jiangshan Sheji twice in a row.

So at this moment, in Zhao Yongcheng's heart, the only person who is truly qualified to inherit this country is Zhao Yanxun.

So at this moment, Zhao Yongcheng felt very regretful. If he had been tougher and delayed the end of the vassal period, all the problems would have been solved.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Duan is outside asking for an audience!"

Zhao Yongcheng was not surprised when he heard the complaints outside.

"Let her in!"

After a while, Concubine Duan walked in from outside the palace, and then paid homage to the emperor.

"I, my concubine, come to see the Emperor!"

"No gift!"

Concubine Duan then stood up and looked at the emperor in front of her.

At this moment, in her eyes, the emperor's temples were much grayer again, which made Concubine Duan feel sad for no reason.

So Concubine Duan's tone became a little gentler, and then she said: "Your Majesty, you must pay attention to rest and take care of your dragon body!"

Perhaps only when Concubine Duan said these words, Zhao Yongcheng would feel heartwarming. Others said they had "ulterior motives" in his eyes.

"What's the reason for your concubine's visit this time?" Zhao Yongcheng asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that... someone submitted a petition to confer the fourth and ninth sons as crown princes!"

"That's right, it was the boss of the prince's family who started it!" Zhao Yongcheng said bluntly.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"What do you think, my dear concubine?"

The conversation between the couple was quite tit-for-tat, which made Chen Changhe on the side very embarrassed.

"As their mother-in-law, I am naturally very willing!" Concubine Duan did not hide her purpose at all.

"This makes me wonder, why are the descendants of the prince's family posthumously conferring titles on Lao Si and Xiao Jiu!" Zhao Yongcheng asked rhetorically.

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the hall, which was a great test of Concubine Duan's adaptability.

"I am the biological mother of the fourth and ninth son. They are gone. If you ask for a status for them, I will naturally be willing!"

So you are willing to cooperate with the former "enemy"... This is what Zhao Yongcheng made up.

I heard Zhao Yongcheng say in a cold tone: "The eldest son of the prince's family speaks for you, so when you come here today, you must also speak for him!"

In fact, these words are very heavy, and only Concubine Duan can deal with them calmly at this moment.

"Although I have selfish motives, I am more public-minded!"

What Concubine Duan said made Zhao Yongcheng laugh out loud: "Then tell me how public-minded you are!"

Regarding this, Concubine Duan had already prepared a plan before she came.

"Although I live in a deep palace, I have not isolated myself from the inside and outside. Now that the country is in difficulty, I rely more on the eldest king. The emperor's eldest grandson is older and should be the heir apparent. This is one of them!"

"As the emperor said, the concubine and the prince are of the same blood, but the emperor's eldest grandson is able to give up his prejudice and turn to the concubine for help. This shows that he understands choices, knows how to advance and retreat, and has a broad mind. This is the second best!"

"The concubine has deep grudges, but the emperor's eldest grandson is able to persuade the concubine to advise him, and he can also show his wisdom. This is the third best thing!"

"The emperor's eldest grandson is supported by the ministers, and his advantages are obvious to those of other princes and grandsons. This is the fourth of them!"

Concubine Duan's words expressed her thoughts without reservation. Although they were straightforward, they were true.

It must be said that these words are extremely convincing, and she is not relying on favor to put pressure on the emperor.

The terms and conditions were reasonable and well-founded, and Zhao Yongcheng was naturally convinced.

"You are a woman, you know nothing about the political affairs of the previous dynasty, but you are really a hen Si Chen, your behavior is immoderate!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yongcheng said solemnly: "I have been told that Concubine Duan is so rude and disobedient that she will be banned from Xianfu Palace for one month to reflect on herself!"

Concubine Duan did not expect that things suddenly developed to this point. At this moment, she was quickly thinking about countermeasures and the possibility of causing this disaster.

"Back off!"
