In the main hall, the fourth prince had the loudest voice.
There is no way, he is inherently capable, and he is a direct descendant.
In addition to the successful rescue this time, some ministers who could not guess Lao Zhu's thoughts desperately recommended him. In their view, this was just a matter of smooth flow.
That's right.
If you don't support such a prince, who can you support him?
Cabinet ministers have also expressed their opinions one after another. The first one is Guo Wankai, the Minister of Rites.
The fourth prince is the eldest son, his name is legitimate, and there is no objection.
The second one is Yang Guozhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, not to mention the uncle of the fourth prince. Who else can he support if he doesn't support his own nephew?
Sun Yanqing, the Minister of Justice, supported the third prince, and He Donglai, the Minister of War, supported the second prince.
The rest of the people have yet to express their opinions.
They are all old foxes and will not express their opinions easily. The above-mentioned people are different. They have always had a clear stance or are related to each other.
The third prince was at a disadvantage. If Fan Renli was still here, he would undoubtedly be able to gain a lot of support.
At this moment, compared with the fourth prince, he was a little unworthy.
The same goes for the second prince. It is difficult for both of them to compete with the fourth prince.
There are still some people who are not sure about Lao Zhu's thoughts. Lin Bai is sure that among the ministers who have not expressed their opinions, at least half of them support the fourth prince. After all, he has a legitimate reputation and outstanding abilities.
It's just that I can't figure out Lao Zhu's thoughts, so I'm just waiting and watching for the time being.
Lin Bai was naturally not interested.
Support whoever you want, I won't get involved in these nonsense.
It would be fine if Lao Zhu didn't care, but Lao Zhu was obviously reluctant, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he simply ignored Dong Changtian's gaze.
Just fish with peace of mind and that's it.
Unfortunately, Lao Zhu didn't seem to agree. His eyes fell on him and his voice sounded, "Lin Qingfeng, I see you standing there wanting to doze off. Isn't it boring?"
The voice was not harsh, but rather intriguing.
What does this mean?
Lin Bai was also a little confused. Did Lao Zhu mean something? Want to say a few words for yourself?
have to!
Immediately, he had to say: "Your Majesty! I did doze off a little, mainly because it was too early in the morning, and all of you must not have woken up, right?"
"Lin Qingfeng, what are you talking about?" an official scolded.
Some other ministers had subtle expressions in their eyes, because the words had a double meaning, as if they were saying that the ministers were not awake and could not see the situation clearly, and that His Majesty did not want to establish a prince at all.
Zhu Tianzheng also had a strange look in his eyes.
Dong Changtian's eyes flickered, "Master Lin, all my colleagues are discussing the matter of establishing a prince. Master Lin, don't you want to express your opinion?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Bai when they heard this, and they were all a little curious.
The great talent is a popular celebrity. Although he has only truly entered the center of power today, who dares to underestimate the power behind him.
And regarding his relationship with the seventh princess, the fourth prince and his entire family are waiting for him to express his opinion.
Zhu Tianzheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
It was impossible to take sides. My father-in-law was already kicking the ball, so Lin Bai had no choice but to laugh and say: "The appointment of a prince is a big deal. I have only been in the court for a few months. I don't know the princes well enough, so I really have no say."
Everyone didn't say anything when they heard this. After all, the talented man told the truth.
Although he is a third-grade official, his time in the court was indeed too short.
Unfortunately, Lao Zhu seemed a little unhappy.
His face was gloomy.
have to!
This is forcing yourself to take a stand!
Lin Bai thought for a while and had to add: "However, I think this is the same as the morning court. The time must be appropriate. If it is too early, it will only make the officials tired of running around."
All the ministers were confused, why did they talk about the morning court again?
Of course, there are also those who feel it is wrong, and this statement has a certain meaning! It is clearly saying that the crown prince was established too early. The ministers have to take care of both the majesty and the crown prince. They are trying to please both sides, but they are just tired of running around.
Zhu Tianzheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "It's indeed a bit early to say so."
"Then let's postpone it for half an hour!"
This is obviously a statement.
Lin Bai was happy, is this okay? Having accomplished something important unintentionally, he immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
The ministers were confused. This is great, but the morning meeting was postponed for half an hour?
However, who doesn’t want to sleep more in the morning, especially when winter is about to begin, but there is no way. In order to show their diligence and love for the people, emperors in the past dynasties have done so earlier than the last.
Now His Majesty is the most eager among them, and they are also miserable.
Now that it has been postponed for half an hour for no reason, I am naturally very happy.
But the problem is that what we are talking about now is the establishment of a prince, not the early dynasty.
Guo Wankai said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Lin said about early court is just a trivial matter, but the appointment of a prince is related to the country. It should be sooner rather than later. Taizu has taught..."
"..."
Many ministers mentioned the ancestral system and various examples.
In short, it's just one sentence: appoint a prince as soon as possible.
Lin Baixin said, why bother! Lao Zhu has expressed his stance, can’t you see it? Can you still force him to establish a crown prince?
its not right!
These guys seem to be forcing Lao Zhu to use the Confucian dragon-slaying technique and etiquette to force Lao Zhu to appoint a prince as soon as possible.
Those direct ministers and censors may not be unable to see Lao Zhu's thoughts, but they have great righteousness in mind. Lao Zhu has nothing to do with them. It is impossible to convict them just because they proposed to establish the crown prince. If that were the case, it would be fulfilled. their reputation.
Good guy! Lin Bai called him a good guy.
Maybe this is the reason why my father-in-law plays football.
Zhu Tianzheng's face was obviously not good-looking, and he said: "The appointment of a prince is related to the foundation of the country. It cannot be decided in a moment. I will carefully consider it before deciding on the candidate for the prince."
"Retreat!"
Lao Zhu suppressed the matter by withdrawing from the court.
"Yan Zhenlin, Lin Qingfeng, you will follow me to the imperial study."
Weng and son-in-law looked at each other.
In the imperial study room, Lao Zhu's face was gloomy at this moment, and he was obviously unhappy.
Lin Bai muttered a little and subconsciously glanced at his father-in-law, who was quite a stable group.
Zhu Tianzheng paused, looked at Yan Zhenlin and said, "What do you think, Mr. Yan?"
Yan Zhenlin said: "Your Majesty! The ministers have been calling for the appointment of a crown prince for quite some time. There was another assassination case a few days ago. It is normal to have such a reaction. Even if it is suppressed today, it will still be mentioned again in the future."
"Since it will be established sooner or later, I think there is nothing wrong with it."
Zhu Tianzheng didn't blame him. He also knew that this was the truth. He just snorted and said, "I think they are hoping that something will happen to me."
Even saying these words is enough to show the anger in Lao Zhu's heart.
Lin Bai was a little confused. Why did Lao Zhu reject Prince Li so much?
Afraid of being deprived of power by the prince?
Or reject the fourth prince? According to the current situation, if a crown prince is established, the possibility of the second and third princes is unlikely.
The fourth prince is the best candidate.
Or maybe he just experienced an assassination case and was stimulated?
It is possible, but it shouldn’t be! Lao Zhu is so small-minded.
Are there any other secrets?
"..."
