Chapter 2773 2775 [Please establish a prince]
"Who is that person? He is so arrogant!" Qu Xiaofeng couldn't help being surprised when he saw Gao Zhen's outrageous words.
"Master Gao's third son—Gao Zhen." Xiang Nan explained.
"Master Gao?" Qu Xiaofeng blinked, but still didn't understand.
Although she has entered the rich dynasty for more than two months, she has been bored in the palace all the time. She knew almost nothing about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and no one told her about these things at all.
"Gao Ming Gao Xiangye, the queen's uncle, my uncle. His eldest son Gao Xian is the general of the town of Anhufu in the western region; his second son Gao Kun is the Minister of the Household Department." Xiang Nan explained.
"..." Qu Xiaofeng suddenly realized.
No wonder Gao Zhen dared to speak wild words, it turned out that he really had such strength.
Not to mention Gao Ming and Gao Kun, but only Gao Xian, who is known as the "Emperor of Earth" in the Western Region, and even her father, the King of Xizhou, is very afraid of it.
His younger brother is a bit more arrogant, which makes sense.
However, Mingyue actually doesn’t even like such an aristocratic son and brother, and she will disappear if she doesn’t see her. It is indeed too personal, which makes her more interested in him.
"Okay, it's getting late, we should go back." Xiang Nan reminded.
"Stay a little longer." Qu Xiaofeng said reluctantly.
"It's not impossible to come out in the future, there are plenty of opportunities." Xiang Nan smiled, "Let's go."
"Really?! That's a deal." Qu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"However, you have to do your homework better, so that I can speak for you in front of grandma and queen mother. Then, I can be kind to them and take you out for fun." Xiang Nan laughed, "I heard that your After memorizing "The Commandments for Women" for a month, I haven't memorized it."
"I'll just recite it." Qu Xiaofeng immediately promised.
Xiang Nanfang nodded.
…
"Boss Mi, it's getting late, we should go back." Xiang Nan said to Mi Luo.
Milo nodded, "Alright, it's time for me to close too. After that...you come here often."
"The wine here is so delicious and the people are so beautiful, so I will come here often in the future." Qu Xiaofeng playfully scratched Mi Luo's nose, like a **** flirting with beautiful women.
"Thank you, sir, for taking care of me!" Milo said as well.
The four of them laughed, and then bid farewell.
Xiang Nan sent Qu Xiaofeng and A'Du back to the palace.
"Li Chengyin, thank you, I had a great time today." After getting off the car, Qu Xiaofeng said to Xiang Nan.
"You're welcome. In fact, you should thank Grandma, because she was afraid that you would be too bored in the palace, so she asked me to take you out to play." Xiang Nan laughed.
"I have to thank you." Qu Xiaofeng nodded.
…
A few days later, Xiang Nan received a bracelet made by Qu Xiaofeng himself.
Woven with gold and silver threads, embellished with rubies, cat's eyes, emeralds, glazed beads, etc. It is not an exaggeration to say that just dismantling and selling these gems is enough to make the world rich.
In the next month or so, Xiang Nan took Qu Xiaofeng out of the palace several times, and their relationship became closer and closer.
And there is no impenetrable wall in the world, seeing Xiang Nan and Qu Xiaofeng walking so close, the other princes naturally felt a little panicked.
Because Qu Xiaofeng is the imperial concubine appointed by the rich dynasty, which is related to the safety of the western region. Which prince can marry her is undoubtedly more qualified to be the prince.
Therefore, Xiang Nan is clearly ahead by a large margin, which naturally makes the other princes who are aspiring to be the crown prince extremely anxious.
Because of this, the loyal king who supported the second prince, Li Chengye, finally couldn't hold back, and united with all the ministers to submit a petition, imploring the emperor to establish the crown prince as soon as possible.
Li Xi was very upset when he saw these memorials, "The prince has only passed away for a few months, why are you so anxious to ask me to establish a crown prince? Do you think that I am old and not healthy enough, so I have to establish a prince?"
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intentions. The crown prince died, and I, like my colleagues, are deeply saddened. It's just that after the war between our dynasty and Dan Chi, the hearts of all countries in the western region are unstable!
Now the marriage between my court and Xizhou has been decided, and the nine princesses of Xizhou have also entered my court for several months, but the position of the crown prince has not been decided yet, and the wedding dates of these nine princesses have also been delayed again and again. The minister is worried that if things go on like this, it will disturb the hearts of the countries in the western border. "Zhong Wang hurriedly replied.
Li Xi's face turned cold.
In fact, he already knew that the death of the crown prince was inseparable from King Xuande.
However, he needs to maintain balance above the court, and let the forces of King Xuande and King Zhong contain Gao Ming, so he cannot defeat King Xuande and let Gao Ming monopolize the court.
So he suppressed this matter, and even ordered King Xuande to investigate the assassination case of the prince, so as to clear himself up. Unexpectedly, King Zhong still has the face to grieve for the prince now, it is really unreasonable.
"Lord King, among the several princes, who do you think is qualified to succeed the crown prince?" Li Wei asked coldly.
"Since ancient times, it has been impossible to establish an elder, and an elder cannot establish a young. The empress has no heirs. Among the princes, these two princes are the oldest. The prestige is quite high among the princes.
The second prince is courageous and resourceful, and has both ability and political integrity. The minister believes that the second prince is the best candidate for the crown prince, no matter whether he is a leader or a virtuous person. "Zhong Wang replied immediately.
When Li Xi heard this, he felt even more sullen.
The emperor's establishment of the crown prince is supposed to be arbitrary, but the courtiers dare to speak up, it is simply disrespectful and daring.
However, he still showed no emotion on the surface, "I will consider it, King Zhong, you should step down first."
King Zhong bowed to salute, and then withdrew.
…
King Zhong joined forces with his ministers to submit a request to establish a crown prince, which soon spread throughout the government and the public.
Xiang Nan knew about it right away, and he immediately went to Gao Ming in the middle of the night.
"Uncle, what advice do you have for King Zhong's petition to appoint a crown prince?" He asked for advice.
In the play, because Li Chengyin's uncle Gu Ruhui died at the hands of Gao Ming, after returning to Beijing, Li Chengyin has been deliberately alienating him. He only visits when he needs support. He even made false claims behind Gao Ming's back many times, so that Gao Ming's vigilance was soon aroused.
Xiang Nan is not that stupid. There has been no disconnection between him and the Gao family. Before ascending to the crown prince, he will not be alienated from the Gao family.
"Is King Yi in a hurry?" Gao Ming glanced at Xiang Nan and said.
"A little bit." Xiang Nan nodded.
In fact, he was not in a hurry. On the one hand, he knew that the emperor intended to make Li Chengye the crown prince; on the other hand, he also knew that Li Chengye would not be the crown prince for long.
However, in front of Gao Ming, he still wants to act. Otherwise, if he is too smart, he will be feared by Gao Ming.
What Gao Ming wants to support is a prince who is smart, but not smart enough to be controlled by him. If Xiang Nan is too smart and gets out of his control sooner or later, then he won't give his full support.
In the play, Gao Ming sensed what was wrong with Li Chengyin, so he sent his daughter Gao Ruyi to the palace, hoping to give birth to a dragon son to replace Li Chengyin.
