The courtiers' breathing became rapid.
Lin Cong's fists were clenched so tight that his toes were about to dig through the soles of his shoes. He looked at Dai Yuchun, the Minister of Rites, with a hopeful look on his face.
"Your Majesty, my minister Dai Yuchun has something to report!" the Minister of Rites said seriously.
As one of the top ten elders of the imperial court, Dai Yuchun has worked sincerely in this position for more than 20 years.
Having seen off the Supreme Emperor and welcomed the new Emperor, now he will once again jointly submit to Your Majesty the matter of establishing the Crown Prince of Dayan.
Lin Yunhong smiled and said, "Say it!"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the princes have grown up. In order to avoid gaps between the princes, we should establish the crown prince's position as soon as possible to stabilize the country and protect the Dayan Sheji!"
This is not the first time that Dai Yuchun has taken the lead.
The position of Crown Prince Dayan has always been vacant, and several princes have grown up. In addition, the legitimate prince died in Kunning Palace that year, so other concubine princes should succeed to the throne.
But this has been dragging on for several years.
If the crown prince is no longer sure, all the princes feel that they have a chance.
When the time comes, the princes will fight openly and covertly and kill each other, which will be a trouble for the royal family.
Both emotionally and rationally, the position of crown prince should be established as soon as possible in order to cut off the thoughts of other princes.
"My ministers, please ask your Majesty to establish the Crown Prince Dayan!"
"My ministers, please ask your Majesty to establish the Crown Prince Dayan!"
In an instant, half of the people in the Fengtian Palace had knelt down, and they were all kowtowing to His Majesty to establish the position of Crown Prince.
When Yan Shuangwu and Zhao Tai saw this, they quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please establish a crown prince!"
With a smile in his eyes, Lin Yunhong looked at Dai Yuchun and said, "Dai Yuchun, who do you think I should appoint as the crown prince?"
"Since everyone has opened up their chat boxes today, let's talk about who should be the crown prince?"
Dai Yuchun and other court officials, who were about to take more powerful medicine, were stunned when they heard Lin Yunhong's words.
They looked at each other and suddenly felt that something was wrong with His Majesty today?
But soon they understood.
It must be because of the Sixth Prince Lin Cong that this cultural meeting made the court look so shameless.
That's why His Majesty made up his mind to make the sixth prince Lin Cong the crown prince.
In addition, His Majesty is now in his prime, and Lin Cong is still young, so he can practice with His Majesty in the court.
Dai Yuchun said sternly: "I have been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for so many years, and I have become old and exhausted. It is time for me to become an official. The reason why I request your Majesty to establish a crown prince is for the sake of Dayan Sheji."
"Your Majesty asked me who I want to make the crown prince. This is because I am suspicious of you. I am already in my seventies and have no children. I am not seeking benefits."
"But during the years I have been in the court, I have also witnessed the growth of several His Highnesses. The cultural gathering hosted by His Highness the Sixth Royal Highness yesterday allowed me to see the shadow of His Majesty's past in His Highness the Sixth..."
"I think that the sixth prince Lin Cong should be made the crown prince of Dayan!"
Wow!
After the words fell, the Manchu officials made a symbolic uproar.
The ministers who supported other princes immediately jumped to their feet and advised the prince who expressed his loyalty.
'These old guys, my father's intention is so obvious that he wants to establish this prince as the heir apparent, but they are still jumping up and down... When my prince ascends to the throne, he will be the first to take off your black gauze hat! '
Lin Cong naturally didn't have a good look on those courtiers who opposed him.
"Cong'er is really good!"
Lin Yunhong smiled and nodded, which made Lin Cong feel elated.
The eight old princes were so excited that they cried.
Eight million taels of silver is really worth it. It can directly buy the prosperity of the Duke's mansion for generations.
Lin Yunhong then asked: "What do you think of Lin Jieyuan, ministers?"
Lin Cong was the first to stand up and express his position: "Father, I think Lin Jieyuan is an unparalleled talent."
"Lin Jieyuan is the only literary talent that I have ever seen in my life. He is extremely talented and knowledgeable!"
"Lin Jieyuan is extremely talented, and his two Mingfu articles are immortal masterpieces."
"Lin Jieyuan should be entrusted with important tasks. When I heard about the Jintian Mansion case, His Majesty specially sent Lin Jieyuan to deal with it. Facts have proved that Lin Jieyuan is not only talented, but also capable of governing the world..."
"The 'movable type printing' created by Lin Jieyuan is a feat that has never been achieved before!"
The courtiers naturally praised Lin Jieyuan unstintingly for his stunning performance at the cultural gathering.
"Hey, last time I saw Lin Jieyuan was still in the court, why didn't I see him today?"
Some courtiers were confused.
When Lin Yunhong heard the courtiers praising Lin Yi so much, he felt more comfortable than praising him.
but.
Some courtiers wondered: "Why did your Majesty suddenly mention Lin Jieyuan? What does this have to do with establishing the crown prince?"
The others looked at His Majesty Lin Yunhong.
Lin Yunhong looked at the courtiers and said seriously: "I already have a candidate in mind for the Crown Prince of Dayan!"
"who?"
"who?"
The courtiers spoke quickly and looked at Lin Yunhong with longing eyes.
The sixth prince, Lin Cong, stopped breathing suddenly and stared at his father, feeling extremely worried.
Only Prince Teng, Yan Shuangwu, Mei Zheren and other close ministers behaved relatively calmly...
Lin Yunhong looked towards the side hall with a smile on his face and sleeved his robe carelessly.
Mei Zheren looked solemn and said: "Invite the Crown Prince into the palace!"
…
Lin Yi, who was waiting quietly in the side hall, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Mei Zheren's voice.
Mei Chunguang said excitedly: "Your Highness..."
The person guarding the door of the side hall quickly opened the door. Lin Yi took a deep breath and stepped forward calmly.
clatter!
Ta da~
In the silent side hall, Lin Yi's crisp and steady footsteps could be heard.
At this moment.
There was deathly silence in the Fengtian Palace. All the courtiers, including the Sixth Prince Lin Cong, followed His Majesty's gaze towards the gate of the side hall with dull expressions.
Crown Prince? ? ?
Then the sound of footsteps was heard clearly, and everyone felt a thick lump of phlegm stuck in their throats.
I couldn't swallow it.
Lin Cong's eyes almost popped out of his head as he stared at the entrance of the side hall.
who?
Who is the Crown Prince?
He and Lao Qi were the only ones in the capital, and it was impossible for his father to appoint Lao Qi, who was only seven or eight years old, as the crown prince.
Lin Yi, who was wearing a scarlet round-collared python robe, walked out of the side hall with ghostly looks in the eyes of all the courtiers.
Buzz!
Lin Cong felt a thunder explode in his mind, and his whole head seemed to have left.
His body shape was even more shaky.
"Lin...Lin Jieyuan?" Lin Cong was stunned. Why did Lin Yi put on the crown prince's python robe?
This one is going to be beheaded!
The Grand Scholar of the Third Hall opened his mouth slightly, remembering that Lin Yi once sat next to His Majesty's Dragon Table in the Imperial Study Room.
That is the position of the crown prince.
"Lin... Lin Lin Lin..."
The grand bachelor of the Third Palace Cabinet stuttered, and his words were already difficult to speak.
'I have been waiting for this moment for a long time...'
Lin Yi took a deep breath, walked calmly to the center of Fengtian Hall, knelt down to His Majesty Lin Yunhong, and kowtowed: "My dear father, long live my father! Long live my father!"
Yan Shuangwu, Zhao Tai, Chen Jingzhi and others quickly lifted up their official robes, bowed their heads and said:
"I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is a thousand years old!"
The rich voice echoed in the Fengtian Palace, and all the courtiers looked at this scene in jaws, their scalps were numb with shock, and their livers and gallbladders were so shocked that they were about to burst!
Several veterans were so frightened by this sudden scene that they fell to the ground.
Immediately confused!
Where did the crown prince appear from?
