Chapter 460 The Cruelty of Seizing the Inheritance

The empress dowager was quite popular among the people, and when she passed away, the people also mourned.

Zian has no way to investigate the empress dowager's poison, because the empress dowager's body is impossible for her to use a knife, but she knows that even if she finds the poison, she will not be able to find it on the empress dowager, because the empress dowager does not understand Poisoned by Gu, and Sun Fang'er has not been in the palace for so long.

This matter can only be put aside for now, and we will investigate it later.

King Nanhuai didn't start his journey, he went into the palace wearing hemp and filial piety and kowtowed. In front of all the officials, he cried like a concubine. Weeping and crying, he bumped into the empress dowager's mourning hall. He didn't die, but fainted past.

Seeing that King Nanhuai was so sad, the officials who didn't know the inside story felt that he was filial, and they liked and reposted it one after another...and spread it among the people.

The empress dowager's death was such a big thing that he couldn't hide it from the emperor. The emperor's condition became more and more serious under his grief.

After the empress dowager's funeral, on this day, the emperor summoned the princes and Murong Jie into the palace to discuss the candidate for the crown prince.

Although King Nanhuai was sent out, many ministers wrote a letter to ask King Nanhuai to keep his filial piety in Beijing because of the scene he performed in front of the empress dowager.

Therefore, when the emperor summoned the royal family members into the palace for discussion, he also came.

The king of eastern Guangdong is an old man, so he first mentioned the candidates for recommendation, and he recommended Liang Wang.

This move was seconded by Prince An Li.

King Nanhuai and King Beixuan recommended Concubine Yi's son Seventh Prince.

The two factions confronted each other, and they couldn't get any better. The emperor looked at Murong Jie, "Do you have any suitable candidates?"

Everyone looked at Murong Jie. In fact, everyone knew that Murong Jie had a good relationship with Liang Wang. During these days, he kept promoting Liang Wang. Therefore, everyone felt that he would recommend Liang Wang.

However, unexpectedly, he said, "Murong Yan, the third prince of Concubine Mei, is young and intelligent, and I recommend him."

In exchange for everyone’s laughter, even Prince Li said: “Forget it. Before he went to the study last year, he had hired masters to teach literature and riding and archery, but every master said he was naughty. He listened to the teaching, and then went to the study room. Li Xueshi said that although he was clever, he didn't follow the right way. He had too many crooked thoughts, so it was difficult to become a master. I have missed it once before, so I can't make a second mistake."

Murong Jie looked at Prince Li, "The old ancestors also said that third brother's rotten wood can't be carved, so didn't he become a man in the end?"

Prince Li was stunned, "When did the ancestor say this? Why doesn't this king know? You are talking nonsense."

"No nonsense, everyone knows about it." Murong Jie said.

Prince An frowned, "No, the ancestors said he was a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard."

"No, no," Ye Wang said casually: "The old ancestor said that he was a little old man when he was young."

Prince Li's old face turned green, "She said that I am a prudent young man, and I will be a mature man in the future."

"Yeah, become a fool!"

The emperor also laughed, thinking of the young years, it is really good, everything is taken care of by the ancestors, and the sky will not fall when the ancestors are around.

After talking for a while, Zi'an came over, "Let's discuss it tomorrow, the emperor should rest."

One is that the emperor's health is really not good, and the other is that we have talked for a long time today, and everyone has watched the emperor up close, so it is easy to see the clues.

Murong Jie said: "Yes, let's break up first, we will discuss it tomorrow."

All the princes left, but the King of Eastern Guangdong did not leave, and he was still sitting still.

"My lord, do you have anything else to do?" Zi'an asked.

"Your Majesty," the King of Yuedong looked at the emperor, "I want to say a few words to you today, whether you can listen to me or not, I have to say these words."

The emperor waved his hand, "Uncle Emperor, I know what you want to say, you want to talk about the marriage between my little aunt and Xiao Xiao, don't you?"

Zi'an and Murong Jie looked at each other, and finally someone mentioned it.

The King of Yuedong said solemnly: "This king is old, and I don't care about anything, but I can't let go of this little sister. In the past, I had your queen mother watching her, so I can rest assured, but now, the queen mother is gone, and the queen mother is gone. They are all juniors, and only this king can make decisions about her marriage. Now Xiao Xiao is treating his wounds in Hanshan, and he is expected to recover. If he recovers, I hope the emperor will approve this marriage. The Zhuang couple went to the east of Guangdong, and I let the king watch them. The emperor will not disbelieve the king, right? This king is also a member of the Murong family. If anyone threatens the Murong family, no matter who it is, the king will not be merciful. .”

The emperor smiled weakly, "Uncle Emperor, I won't stop it now, so let her marry Xiao Xiao."

The King of Eastern Guangdong was startled, thinking that the emperor would have to say something about the idiots of the country, the country, and the country, but he agreed so smoothly?

Zi'an and Murong Jie also felt more at ease, at least, the emperor expressed his opinion, and it was an attitude of approval.

Sending the Eastern Guangdong King away, Zi'an quickly gave the emperor an injection, "Recently, the emperor has worked so hard, and his body can't take it anymore, so he must rest more."

The emperor smiled, "It doesn't matter. When I sleep in the future, if I don't take care of the affairs behind me, I won't feel at ease even if I leave!"

If these words were spoken from the mouths of seventy and eighty-year-olds, Zian would not feel uncomfortable in his heart, but the emperor was in his prime, and it was unavoidable to make people feel sad when he said these sad words about the setting sun.

After Zi'an administered the needle, he retreated, leaving Murong Jie and the emperor here to talk alone.

"Tell me, why Yan'er!" the emperor lowered his eyes and asked lightly.

"My younger brother thinks that he will become a wise king." Murong Jie said.

"I've heard about him. The teachers who taught him often shook their heads and sighed, saying that he will become a man like Lao Jiu in the future. I can't entrust the country to him." The emperor said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, hearing is worse than seeing. When you feel better, I will take you to the study." Murong Jie smiled and said, "I also heard that he was stubborn before, so I asked Zi'an to observe him. After that, I spoke highly of him, and my younger brother also went to observe him specially, and his temperament made my younger brother think of someone."

"Who?" The emperor asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"emperor."

"Zhen?" The emperor was stunned, and then laughed and cursed: "You are scolding me in circles? I am not like him. When I was his age, the teachers praised me a lot."

"That's because, back then, you had already been named the crown prince, and you were the descendant of your mother's queen."

The emperor looked at him, "What do you mean, are the teachers bullying his background? His background is not low, and his mother and concubine are also concubines."

"He is a concubine, and he is also a prince. His status is indeed honorable, but he is not the future emperor. It seems that there is no difference. In fact, there is a world of difference. Brother emperor, you should understand best. It is the prince, so you put forward opinions that are contrary to the teacher, you are breaking the old and establishing the new, and you have your own opinions, but when Yan'er is like you, the teacher said that he is rebellious and does not listen to teaching."

The emperor thought for a while, "Listening to what you said, I also want to test this kid myself, and when I feel better, you can bring him here."

"Okay, when you are in better spirits, I will bring him here." Murong Jie smiled, but sorrow hung between his brows, could his spirit be any better?

After experiencing what happened to his mother, he was really far behind, and even Zian couldn't give an accurate statement.

Especially when discussing the candidate for the crown prince today, he can predict that the eventful season will come soon.

Seizing the heir is the cruelest thing for the royal family.
