Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1004 The Crown Prince Has Been Decided
The eldest princess and the consort looked at their son with disappointment, and seemed to have made up their minds to have another son.

Then, the eldest princess called her confidant female official in, and then said to the young man: "You go out first, and we will give you an explanation after we educate our son."

There was a hint of joy in the young man's eyes, and he followed the female officer in fear.

When there were only three people in the room, the consort said angrily: "If you can't explain it clearly in three sentences, just pack up and leave the Shen family!"

Shen Jingyan looked at the consort in disbelief: "Am I still your biological son?"

The consort reminded him coldly: "That's it."

Shen Jingyan was dejected: "I'm not Duanxiu, these books and that person were brought in by King Xingyang."

Shen Jingyan silently said sorry three times in his heart. Faced with continuing to be the son of the Shen family and enjoying the glory, wealth and brothers, he decisively chose the former.

In fact, he was only defeated by the power of his parents.

Who makes him afraid of his father and mother?
The eldest princess thought thoughtfully: "Why did King Xingyang bring this person to you?"

Shen Jingyan answered truthfully: "My son doesn't know. King Xingyang said that the young man seems to have a good background, but he is not sure and needs time to investigate."

Of course the eldest princess and the consort would not think that King Xingyang was giving a man to their son to enjoy.

After all, if they were really lovers, they wouldn't do such a thing.

The prince-in-law asked him: "What is your relationship with King Xingyang?"

Shen Jingyan had no choice but to tell the story of Sanmeng and Yang Qian to his parents: "Father and mother, the story started when my son left home for a study trip four years ago..."

After hearing the end, both the eldest princess and the consort were shocked.

Unexpectedly, King Xingyang turned out to be the feared bandit leader Yang Qian, and his own son was the brains of the bandit leader?

Hearing this, the prince-in-law said: "So, you were originally going to work as an undercover agent inside the enemy, but you were successfully instigated to rebel?"

Sima Xuanmo nodded: "Yes, my son is useless and was subdued by a bandit who has the world in his heart and is extremely righteous."

The eldest princess was dubious: "Judging from your words, are you sure that you really don't have any fantasies about King Xingyang?"

Shen Jingyan felt that he was more unjust than Dou E. He had no choice but to explain: "Father and mother, where are you thinking? Not only does the son have no interest in King Xingyang, but King Xingyang also has no such thoughts towards his son."

The prince-in-law asked in confusion: "Then King Xingyang is at this age, why is he still not married yet and often comes to hang out with you?"

Shen Jingyan said: "Feng Xiang has been single for decades, why don't you say there is something wrong with him and hangs out with a group of students all day long?"

Seeing that her son didn't seem to be lying, the eldest princess finally felt relieved. She took the opportunity to mention Shen Jingyan's marriage and said, "You haven't gotten engaged yet. Don't blame us for overthinking it. Your father and I have discussed it beforehand." Princess Shufang of Prince Jiang’s family is pretty good.”

Shen Jingyan looked at his mother who couldn't wait to give him to another woman, and took the opportunity to ask: "Why does my son feel that his father and mother know the young man just now?"

The prince-in-law coughed and changed the subject: "We will discuss the marriage later. It is important to find out the young man's identity first. We will make arrangements for this young man. When King Xingyang comes to the palace, remember to ask him if there is any progress in the young man's life experience. .”

Shen Jingyan agreed wholeheartedly, then made excuses to send his parents away, helplessly slumped on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

But what he didn't expect was that shortly after his parents left, the boy was sent to him again.

The reason is that he has been deeply addicted to men, and his parents tried to persuade him to no avail, so he had no choice but to take care of his only son.

When the young man came back, his whole look at Shen Jingyan changed.

Shen Jingyan didn't bother to explain, and started his thrilling life of assassination and assassination prevention with the boy again.

The next morning.There was an uproar in the court.

Just because on the Lantern Festival night yesterday, 58 minor officials were assassinated, and people were panicked for a while.

While the court was still discussing this matter, rumors spread outside.

First, it was said that some people were not happy with Emperor Yuanwu appointing King Qi as his heir, so they resisted in this way. However, this rumor was quickly drowned out, because everyone with a brain supported the appointment of King Qi.

The rumormongers couldn't bite King Qi, so they turned their attention to the helpless Lan Lingling.

No one was optimistic about Lan Lingling being the queen, so the voices opposing Emperor Yuanwu's decision to establish a foreign queen as the queen suddenly grew louder.

The assassinated minor official immediately became a trigger, igniting the dissatisfaction of the people. Everyone thought that this was a warning to Emperor Yuanwu, warning him not to support foreigners to the position of mother of the country. Lan Lingling It was quickly pushed to the forefront.

But most people in the court knew that this was a way for thieves to deal with the court.

However, many of them chose to ignore the truth, use this matter to make a fuss, and continue to oppose Emperor Yuanwu's establishment of a queen.

After some debate, Emperor Yuanwu never mentioned the issue of establishing a queen again. Instead, he ordered all ministries to provide compensation to the family of the deceased and arranged for the original people of each ministry to share the official duties of the deceased.

Finally, Emperor Yuanwu made a major decision: "Feng Xiang, King Qi, I will give you one month to make up for the missing people in each department. Duke Yue and King Xingyang will assist."

The ministers were in an uproar again - Your Majesty gave the power of appointment to King Qi and Prime Minister Feng, and asked the Duke of Yue and King Xingyang to assist. This is a delegation of power!

Then, Emperor Yuanwu said: "Since the ministers have no objection to my wish to appoint King Qi as the crown prince, February [-]nd is a good day, so let's hold the crown prince ceremony on that day!"

Everyone looked at each other, while Changsun Tao closed his eyes helplessly.

A minister knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it would be unreasonable to decide on the crown prince so quickly..."

"Bastard!" Emperor Yuanwu roared angrily, swept away everything on the desk, and cursed angrily, "I want to establish a queen, but you are obstructing me in every possible way! I want to establish a queen, but you don't agree! Am I the emperor or you? Is it the emperor?!"

"You say that Lingling is a foreigner and rejects her mother's wish for the world. I have nothing to say. But what's wrong with him, Uncle Emperor? Is he not fatter than you, or is he not like you, a bunch of arrogant people like you?"

"I gave you the opportunity to put forward your opinions. You can't explain why, but now you are refuting me at this time. Are you hoping that I will die soon, and then the Qin Dynasty will not have a heir, and the world will fall into your hands?! "

"I have made up my mind to be the crown prince. Anyone who dares to say any nonsense again will be punished for treason! No exceptions!"

Emperor Yuanwu's anger completely extinguished the opposition of the officials.

They have already opposed His Majesty's decision to establish a crown prince, and it would be unjustifiable to oppose the establishment of a crown prince again.

At present, they have only two options, either to establish a queen or to establish a reserve.

They would rather have King Qi as their crown prince than a foreigner as their country/mother.

Seeing the ministers hanging their heads, Emperor Yuanwu sighed in disappointment. He made a decision coldly: "The Ministry of Rites, the ceremony for establishing the crown prince is scheduled for February [-]nd. Everything must be prepared within the limited time, otherwise Come and see me."

After saying that, Emperor Yuanwu waved his sleeves and left.

When the ministers gradually dispersed, Eunuch Lu stopped Changsun Tao and said, "His Royal Highness, King Qi, Your Majesty is waiting for you in Chengming Hall."

Changsun Tao followed Eunuch Lu to Chengming Hall. As soon as he stepped in, the door slowly closed.

Then, Emperor Yuanwu knelt in front of him and said sincerely: "Uncle, my nephew is sorry for you. I am afraid that my nephew will have to entrust this throne and this country to my uncle."
