Unexpectedly, after all this trouble, only this small Hanlin was elected as the King of Liang.
For a moment, Emperor Yong couldn't help but Gao Yizhong and the imperial officials were also puzzled.
Just when they were feeling incredible about this smoothness, Jiang Xiang only took the initiative and said, "It seems that His Majesty is the one who is popular among the people. I think it is better to appoint His Royal Highness Prince Liang as the crown prince."
While everyone was feeling incredible about King Jin's defection, King Liang was not surprised.
After all, Zhao Yanzhen told him his plans long before he was about to act today. And it was Zhao Yanzhen who persuaded him to accept this position.
He actually doesn't want to accept this position. What he wanted to do when he returned to the palace from the beginning was to avenge his mother. Now that his enemy is gone, he has also met the one he loves. He doesn't want to drag the other person into this anymore. In the quagmire, it's just that he doesn't think about many things, so he doesn't fall into the quagmire.
After that, he returned to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. His original intention was not only to see Su Zhirou who was about to give birth, but also to discuss his decision with Su Zhirou. He hopes that Su Zhirou can make decisions with him when it comes to his life choices.
However, when he returned to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, he heard that Su Zhirou had a fetal movement. After that, he immediately sent someone nervously to ask someone to treat Su Zhirou. He didn't want the doctor who was invited to have unclean hands and feet. It almost killed Su Zhirou and the child in her belly.
But if the servants hadn't discovered it in time, Su Zhirou might have died by a thread.
Because of this, Su Zhirou didn't wake up after that.
Naturally, he couldn't discuss it with her anymore.
However, when faced with the other party's poisoning of Su Zhirou, he felt nothing but anger. He also went to interrogate the woman in person. This was the first time he used cruel methods to treat the woman. He thought that the political enemies discovered the woman he loved and persecuted her.
Unexpectedly, after some interrogation, the woman found out that she had never seen any wind and rain before, so she immediately attacked them all.
It turned out that this woman was not instigated by anyone. She just wanted to collect more money, so she performed a lot of careless operations, coupled with some untrustworthy folk methods, which almost killed Su Zhirou. life.
After learning this and watching the old woman's actions, Zhao Nianze realized that if he did not have the identity of Prince Liang and he and Su Zhirou retreated to the mountains and forests, what they would encounter in the future might be a hundred times worse than this.
Although he was not afraid of living through those poor days, he was afraid that Su Zhirou would leave him, so in the end he only made the decision for himself while holding Su Zhirou in his arms.
He will continue to stay in the palace and continue on this path.
If someone can't even control his own life, why should he protect his lover and relatives?
So after thinking about this, he no longer felt repulsed by Zhao Yanzhen's proposal. He even felt that he should thank Zhao Yanzhen.
Therefore, when everyone recommended him, everyone else was puzzled. Only his old god was there.
And Emperor Yong looked at his second son like this, and for some reason, he only felt a subtle distrust rising in his heart.
But think about it, I have paved the way for more than thirty years, isn't it just for this son to successfully inherit his throne?
Isn’t this what all calculations are for?
After thinking about this, Emperor Yong finally said, "Since everyone has made such a choice, I will hand over the position of crown prince to Nian Ze."
Hearing Emperor Yong's words, Zhao Nianze immediately knelt down and said, "I have thanked my father for his kindness. I will definitely live up to my father's trust and learn how to be a qualified prince."
After hearing what Zhao Nianze said, Emperor Yong just nodded lightly, and then said a few words of encouragement, "You must not only learn to be a good prince, but you should also lead your people in the future to build our Dayong into a better place." yes."
After receiving Emperor Yong's advice, Zhao Nianze naturally nodded in agreement, "My son, I will definitely not disappoint my father, let alone the people of the world."
After listening to Zhao Nianze's words, Emperor Yong only nodded lightly.
Afterwards, some other things were discussed, and the morning court ended.
In Prince Liang's Mansion, there were wine bottles all over the floor and the smell of alcohol in the room. Xu Zhilan just held her head
With her head in pain, she stood up and saw someone had broken into her inner room. At first, she was startled. After she saw the person clearly, she just closed her clothes nonchalantly.
She glanced at the visitor indifferently, and then said in a calm voice, "Why did your master ask you to come here?"
Hearing Xu Zhilan's words, the secret guard only whispered: "Master, the first thing I want to do is to congratulate you. Prince Liang has finally become the crown prince. If you ever come back, Princess Liang will become the crown prince, and the crown princess will become the crown prince." Queen."
Hearing the secret guard's words, Xu Zhilan's expression was very indifferent. It was obviously good news, but she listened as if she was listening to other people's affairs.
"What? Are you unhappy?" The secret guard also realized that Xu Zhilan's performance was too mediocre.
Xu Zhilan only turned to look at the secret guard and said, "Do you think I should be happy? How should I be happy? It's better to tell my parents and brothers what you said. I think they might be a little happy, but I think they should I already know the good news without you reporting it."
After saying this, Xu Zhilan just asked: "So you don't have to use this trick in front of me, just tell me what you need me to do. As long as it doesn't harm my family, it doesn't matter to me. I can't help myself anyway." I have no control over my fate, and that’s all I can do.”
After hearing Xu Zhilan's sober speech, the guard knew that it was impossible for him to regard the other party as a fool and plot against him.
Therefore, he only said in a low voice, "Yesterday, the secret guard sent by the Young Master to Prince Jin's Mansion for you was unable to get out of Prince Jin's Mansion. We estimate that Prince Jin may have kept a secret for a long time, and we are only afraid that he will do it later." When we attended the farewell banquet of King You Zhao Lang, we exposed all the things that should not have been said, so our idea is to just do it without doing anything else."
Xu Zhilan turned around and looked at the man calmly after hearing the words, "Don't do it? Do it again? How many times have you assassinated him? Have you succeeded? What you ordered me to do, was it successful? Do you think I can succeed?"
Then Xu Zhilan seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly laughed and said, "You are not asking me to take action at all. You want me to take the blame, right?"
Being exposed to this meaning, the secret guard did not speak. Xu Zhilan seemed to have accepted her fate. She whispered, "Give me the things, but please remember not to harm my family, otherwise I will be in jail." There’s no way I’ll let you go.”
When the secret guard heard this, he only whispered, "Don't worry, Princess Liang, we won't embarrass you."
After saying this, he handed over a small white porcelain bottle.
"The poison in this porcelain bottle can cause intestinal rupture if added to wine. Even if it is sprinkled on people, it can kill them on the spot. At such a banquet, other palace maids and guards must be strictly inspected, including guests. No exception. But you are different, you are Princess Liang, the princess next to Prince Liang who hosted the banquet, no, it should be said that she is the crown princess." The man only said with a low smile.
Xu Zhilan obviously had no intention of chatting with the man. She took the porcelain bottle and put it into her clothes.
"Okay, I know your master's order, and I will think of a good excuse. Go back and tell your master!" Xu Zhilan whispered.
After hearing Xu Zhilan's words, the man just said "hello" and then left completely.
Just when Xu Zhilan felt a sense of loss in her heart, the maids suddenly came over to tell her that her mother and brother had come to see her.
After hearing that they were coming, Xu Zhilan just asked the maids to arrange the people to the main hall, and at the same time asked the maids to help her organize her clothes.
Later, when she appeared in front of Xu's mother and brother Xu Yong, the decadent woman only had a trace of grace and dignity.
However, even if she used clothes and makeup to cover it up, she couldn't hide the fatigue and dejection on her body.
Seeing her like this, Xu's mother couldn't help but frown. She just thought that she hadn't broken up with that person yet.
But because Xu Yong didn't know anything, Xu's mother couldn't criticize her in front of others.
"Brother, mother, why are you here today?" Xu Zhilan said suddenly after only saluting.
"I think you are living a confused life? Today, the matter of the crown prince position has finally been settled, and you don't have any preparations? Even if you don't prepare a cup of wine for the supporters of King Liang, you should also give it to King Liang Are you preparing a table of food and drinks?"
Xu's mother criticized him.
Hearing this, Xu Zhilan just chuckled. It didn't matter whether she was prepared or not. Maybe if she was prepared, letting him know would be unnecessary.
But in order to deal with her mother, she could only whisper, "I understand."
After hearing Xu Zhilan's words, Xu's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Xu Yong is a big boss, he can still see that his sister is very tired. Therefore, when Xu's mother wanted to scold Xu Zhilan, he only helped his sister and said, "Mom, please stop scolding my sister. Didn't you see that the number of her people has decreased a lot? And she looks so tired. It seems that the affairs in Prince Liang's palace were too busy, and my sister was so busy that she forgot about this."
Naturally, Xu's mother would not think so, especially after knowing that her daughter was having an affair with someone. She dared not tell anyone about this kind of family scandal, so she could only bury it in her heart. .
After hearing Xu Yong's words, she couldn't help but rebuke, "Do you think everyone is like you? No matter how busy you are, you can still prioritize things, right?"
Listening to the quarrel between her mother and her brother, she didn't care. She just said to the maid next to her, "Go and tell the people below to hold a good banquet. Then, by the way, I told Shun Shunli to wait outside the Chengde Gate, and then said I Mother and brother are here and asked His Highness to invite several ministers who support him to have a bar at the house."
After receiving Xu Zhilan's instructions, the maid said yes and then hurried off.
