"Father, is this person really our younger brother?" Li Feng said with a dark face, "He has not been with father for more than ten years, and it is really unexpected that he came back at such an old age."
As soon as Li Feng said this, everyone was shocked, thinking that this is not what you should say as a son.
"Huh? Li Feng, what do you want to say?" Li Wanjiang's face instantly darkened.
"My son, I just feel that the matter is very important and we should be more cautious." Li Feng protested.
"Then according to you, what should we do cautiously?" Li Wanjiang asked.
"But I don't know who Li Qiu's biological mother is? But what is her identity? And when she gave birth to Li Qiu, did my father see it with his own eyes? If not, what's the witness?" Li Feng said.
"Although Brother Wang's words are a bit abrupt, they are not unreasonable." Li Shi whispered softly, "When my grandmother was still alive, she also vaguely mentioned this matter to my son. Grandma seemed to have a negative attitude towards that woman. I don’t take it seriously, so much so that when I talk about her, I feel quite angry..."
"Are you two questioning me?" Li Wanjiang's face turned pale.
"How dare I, my son!" Li Feng said, "It's just that this Li Qiu has a bad background! But my son, I don't dare to recognize him as my brother."
"How dare I question my father?" Li Shidao, "If my father says yes, then of course it is, but he came suddenly, and his arrival is really strange..."
"Haha, it doesn't matter whether you recognize him or not, as long as I recognize him!" Li Wanjiang sneered, "Not only do I want him to be the king, but I also want him to be the prince. What can you two do?"
"I think it's absolutely impossible!" Li Feng said loudly.
"You think it's impossible?" Li Wanjiang said sternly, "Why do you want to be the prince?"
"My son doesn't want to be the crown prince, and he can't do it!" Li Feng frowned and said, "Don't say that his origin is unknown, even if he is really the son of the father, what qualifications do he have to be the crown prince? If the father insists on having his own way, Let him be the crown prince, and I will be the first to refuse to accept it! The whole world will not accept it either!"
"Are you talking to me?" Li Wanjiang was furious, "Come on, get Li Feng and send him..."
"Li Feng, how can you talk to the emperor like this?" Li Wanyun hurriedly stepped forward, interrupted Li Wanjiang's words, and yelled at Li Feng, "Don't forget the distinction between monarch and minister, and the courtesy of father and son! Get out of here quickly! !”
"Father, please calm down and I will retire!" Li Feng knelt down, kowtowed three times to Li Wanjiang, stood up and walked out without even looking back.
"Third brother, third brother..." Li Shi hurriedly pushed the wheelchair and chased him, grabbing him, "Third brother, do you think you are still confused at this time? Look at how angry your father is. Don't do it. Control your qi and come back quickly to apologize to your father!"
"Second brother, don't pretend to be a good person. Don't I know what you are thinking? My father has a new son and has forgotten our two biological sons. I advise you It's better for you to save yourself and don't worry about anything. I think it will be good if you can have a happy death in the future!" Li Feng pushed him away and strode away.
"Ouch!" Li Shi's wheelchair became unstable and he fell directly to the ground.
Xiao Chen, with quick eyesight and quick hands, ran over to help him up and carried him back to the wheelchair. He thought to himself, how can you really show off? Li Feng didn't even push you hard. Did you fall so seriously?
However, it was really serious, and his face turned pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and he fainted.
Xiao Chen knew clearly that he was pretending, so he had to make a fuss for him, "Oh no, the prince has fainted. Someone come quickly and send him to the hospital!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Wanjiang watched helplessly as Li Shi was pushed away by several imperial doctors. His lips were trembling with anger. He even said three good words, but they were worth a thousand words.
One of the two princes walked away, and the other pretended to be faint and left. It was obvious that they didn't want to see this new boy.
In fact, this cannot be completely blamed on them. After all, they have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and now they are about to decide the winner. Suddenly, a powerful competitor appears, and the emperor actually said that he will be crowned prince. That is so special. Well, aren't we busy in vain... If it were you, you would be angry too.
Besides, even if we have no merit over the years, we have still worked hard. As ministers, we are conscientious and as sons, we are dedicated to our filial piety!
What has this boy done for your father? He has shown neither loyalty nor filial piety. In terms of qualifications, he has no qualifications. In terms of merit, he has nothing. Even in terms of seniority, it is not his turn!
But regardless of whether the two sons recognized it or not, Li Wanjiang did. He publicly decreed that Li Qiu be crowned King Xuanping, responsible for the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, as well as the affairs of Dali Temple and Fengyang Mansion, and gave the former prince Li Xian's mansion to Without him, the Prince's Mansion is the East Palace. Does the Emperor really intend for him to succeed the Crown Prince?
The ministers had finished paying homage and celebrating, and each left with a lot of thoughts on his mind. The bombshell dropped by the emperor today is destined to shake the whole city, and the shock wave will spread out quickly, shaking the whole world.
It's okay to be shaken, but it's not good to be afraid of turmoil.
Xiao Chen's house was lively tonight. First, Zhu Xiaochuan came to visit with a sullen face, then Wang Anbang arrived with a dark face, and then Ma Wuming came with a red face, followed closely by Lu Jing, who was frowning. Several people had not sat down yet. Just say a few words and Zhao Yu is here too...
These few people obviously couldn't sit still at home, but they couldn't rush back and forth among each other. It would definitely not be good to go to Li Feng's house at this time. Although Li Shi was fine under the rescue of the imperial doctor, it was obvious that at this moment You can't visit either, and it's not appropriate to go to Li Wanyun's place. Only Xiao Chen is a foreign minister, so it's okay to come to his place for a walk.
There is also business as an excuse.
When Wang Anbang saw Zhao Yulai, he smiled and said, "Why are you here, Zhao Ziyu, if you don't go to Prince Xuanping's palace to report?"
"Why don't you just go?" Zhao Yu said, "But in front of me are Shao Wenzhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Cheng Youwen, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Yu Changlin, the minister of the Dali Temple... I'm afraid I won't be able to see the prince today, so I simply posted a post and went out to patrol. Street, I walked to Master Xiao's door and came in to ask for a cup of tea, but unexpectedly all the adults were there too?"
"Hmph, you, Zhao Yu, can also say such deceptive things!" Zhu Xiaochuan laughed.
"That's not to fool you sirs. To be honest, I'm still worried about this. I haven't figured out what's going on yet? I've never met Prince Xuanping before..." Zhao Yu couldn't bear it after saying this. The resident laughed sarcastically, because none of the adults present had ever met the prince.
"I've been holding my words in my stomach, so let me tell you!" Lu Jing was a straight-tempered person. "The emperor suddenly granted the title of Prince Xuanping, but he also dodges me for a moment!"
"They all disappeared." Ma Wuming sighed, "From the emperor's tone, it seems that he really wants to make Prince Xuanping the crown prince?"
"If the emperor is really like this, then I will definitely remonstrate and oppose it!" Lu Jing said, "King Xuanping has just arrived and he is the crown prince of the country. It is not in line with both sentiment and reason!"
"I will also follow Mr. Lu to remonstrate with you!" Ma Wuming said, "If the emperor disapproves, I will resign."
