Wang Yuan felt a little regretful when he stood up. He couldn't help but look ahead again, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I believe that His Highness the Second Prince has both political integrity and talent, and is extremely capable, making him more qualified."
"Oh, then may I ask, what has the second prince done for the country and the people in these years?"
"...During the plague...I sent food to Youzhou..."
"When? Who sent it? Who received it? I was also in Youzhou at that time. All materials sent from the capital have been recorded by a dedicated person. You can tell me and I will send someone to check." Cang Qiyuan did not Said calmly.
"We didn't send someone to deliver it directly. We sent it along with the supplies from the capital." Wang Yuan quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"All the officials in the capital and most of the wealthy households have donated money and materials to Youzhou. Do you know how much the second prince has donated?"
"This...this...I don't know."
"I know, 10,000 taels is the same amount as other imperial uncles and uncles donated." Ling Xiaoyu stood up and said.
"Oh, then may I ask, Mr. Wang, where do you see that the second prince has both ability and political integrity?" Cang Qiyuan continued to play with him patiently.
"Of course, His Highness the Second Prince is well-read in poetry and books, and has an astonishing talent."
"Master Wang, don't forget that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun was taught by the Emperor himself. Could it be that the teaching was not good?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me! I said the wrong thing. I didn't mean it. I know I was wrong!" Wang Yuan was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.
"It seems that I was really wrong. I allowed a fool like you to be an official. Let's forget it!" The old emperor waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, please spare me this time! I know I was wrong..." Another person was dragged away.
Ling Haoyang, who was standing in the front row, clenched his fists and the veins on his face bulged. Ling Haowen on the side was expressionless, while the other princes looked joking.
"Who else has any objections?" Cang Qiyuan looked around.
The hall was unusually quiet, with many people lowering their heads and saying nothing.
At this time, a person walked out of the front row, knelt down and began to play, "Your Majesty, the old minister is not standing up against His Majesty the Emperor's Grandson, but the Emperor's Grandson is still young. If he succeeds to the throne, he may take the opportunity to attack!" Cen! It’s so common that no one dares to come forward anymore, so we have to stand up on our own.
"This War King will tell you." The old emperor smiled all the time, and it felt like he was talking at home.
"Three years ago, I led my troops to capture Xianbei and drove away the Xianbei Khan. Now it is the Xianbei Autonomous Region. For the past three years, the people have been living and working in peace and contentment." After speaking, he looked serious and said loudly: "If anyone doesn't open his eyes, I want to take the opportunity to attack. Dayu's soldiers have sharpened their steel swords, and Megatron has already made them. I will lead Dayu's soldiers to defend Dayu to the death." Then he turned around and knelt down: "My minister Cang Qiyuan swears to be loyal to the death. The emperor and the emperor’s grandson will defend the people of Dayu to the death.”
"Xi Xi Xiao Zong!" (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) (Swear allegiance to the death!)
... Cang Qiyuan's impassioned speech was just right, but... what did the "little milk" sound in the last four words add to the confusion?
"Hahahaha..." The old emperor and the ministers were also amused. "Even a two-year-old boy knows how to swear loyalty to the death. He is worthy of being the son of the War King!"
From then on, no one opposed the emperor's grandson's succession to the throne, just waiting for a good and auspicious day.
Qintian Supervisor Li Shui is online again. Although it has been three years, the King of War is very particular. This time he returned to Beijing and sent someone to give him a reward, saying that he had chosen a good time.
What an honor it would be to let him choose the day for the emperor's grandson to ascend the throne this time? Not to mention how energetic he is, he really burns the midnight oil and must choose the best day.
The final date was set at the end of next month. The days were indeed rushed, but this was what the old emperor had repeatedly insisted on, and the nearest date was chosen. What a heart that looks forward to retirement! Xia Qingfeng expressed his understanding.
The ministers who received the news were also surprised, but this was the emperor's wish, so they could only hurry up and prepare.
On this day, Xia Qingfeng received a message from the palace. It was Concubine Cen who was hosting a flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden and invited the King of War to attend the banquet with his family.
"Is this the last bit of madness?" Xia Qingfeng held the exquisite post in her hand and frowned, "Now everyone is busy with the new emperor's enthronement, and she jumped out to cause trouble."
"I heard that Concubine Cen likes liveliness, especially the feeling of seeing the stars holding the moon. The emperor also invited many ministers to enjoy the flowers this time, probably because he wanted to see everyone's attitude." Cang Qiyuan put his arms around Xia Qingfeng's waist, smelling the sweet fragrance on her body, with a look of enjoyment on her face.
"We are separated by a rockery, so you have to keep an eye on your son!" Xia Qingfeng was still a little worried, "How about I take care of him? I think you're the only one who can take care of a milk baby over there, so that's not good!"
"What's wrong? I've taken him to court to see who dares to say anything. You have to keep an eye on Xiaoxiao, I always feel that Concubine Cen is going to make some move."
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao is not really a child, he is very clever."
"After all, I'm only eight years old, and my body is still small. If something happens, just call me. I have deep inner strength now, and I can hear you."
"Okay, don't worry!"
Cang Qiyuan took the post in Xia Qingfeng's hand and threw it on the table, then led Xia Qingfeng into the small cabin in the space...
The dresses worn by Cang Qiyuan's family for the banquet were designed by Cang Lanruo and made by the embroiderer in the house. Now Xu Xiaoxiao is obsessed with clothing design again, and there are a lot of materials available in the space. She added her own ideas and designed many looks based on Dayu Guo's dressing style. Mainly because she had too much free time all day, and she couldn't give lectures like she did in her previous life, so she could only tinker with other things.
This set for the banquet is one of them - a parent-child set. The clothes of the family of four have the same style. The father, son and mother and son use different colors of fabric respectively. Even the embroidered patterns are similar. In short, they look like a family.
This made Ling Xiaoyu sour. He always felt that he was excluded. Every day, he begged Cang Lanruo for comfort and hugs in the space. In the end, Cang Lanruo agreed to design a couple outfit for the two of them. Then he reluctantly agreed.
On the day of the flower viewing feast, the weather was exceptionally good, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was moderate, which warmed people's bodies and souls just right.
The flower viewing banquet is scheduled to start at the last minute, but everyone has to dress up and set off early in the morning, because the various inspections just entering the palace gate will take a long time. But Cang Qiyuan doesn't have to queue up with them. He is the King of War, and the old emperor has long given him privileges. But even if the old emperor doesn’t give it, Ling Xiaoyu will still give it! He couldn't bear to let Cang Lanruo's family wait! If it weren't for his identity, he would probably have gone directly to Prince Zhan's mansion to pick him up.
Therefore, Cang Qiyuan's family set off after half past noon, accompanied by Cang Dao, Cang Jian, Xia He and Cuiliu.
I didn't originally plan to take Cuiliu with me. The child was too young and I had to take care of the baby. But a few days ago, Ginkgo just found out she was pregnant, so she could only take Cuiliu with her, leaving the baby to Cangji and Ginkgo.
Cang Qiyuan planned to wait until after the flower appreciation banquet and then ask Cang Dao to find a few good women among the training team for Xia Qingfeng to use.
