Emperor Wu sat on the dragon throne, shaking his head and sighing, feeling really undecided.
As for destroying the Lu Mansion once and for all?
It's not like he hasn't thought about it!
But the loyal Lu Dingbang made no mistakes during the more than ten years since the founding of the country.
And since he was young, he has been with him all the way and helped him ascend to the throne of God.
Without him, he might not be able to rule the world!
In terms of principles, he has made great contributions to the country.
In terms of love, although there are differences between monarch and minister, they are brothers and sisters!
It's easy to wipe out the Lu Mansion on any random charge, but what happens after that?
If the Lu Mansion is destroyed, the court will be shaken and people will be in panic.
For the imperial power, this may not be a good thing!
The most important thing is that he trusts Lu Dingbang more than other ministers!
It was also because of this that the move was made to advance Lu Shaoze's wedding date.
The idea was to weaken the strength of the Dingyuan Army through elegance.
If this plan succeeds, not only will he, the founder of the country, be remembered as a sage in the history books, but Lu Ding's fate will also be saved.
Only by keeping the court officials in check can the new emperor's position be stable.
The weakened Dingyuan Army has also lost its threat to the royal family, and the imperial power will have no worries at that time! !
This was the original plan of Emperor Wu.
But now Lu Dingbang went out of his way and directly expressed his support for King Rui, which made him a little worried!
At this moment, a figure with gray and straight hair caught the attention of Emperor Wu.
Maybe, you can ask this person for his opinion?
Thinking of this, Emperor Wu immediately calmed down and asked casually:
"I understand that Fang Aiqing has never followed the crowd, but do you have a different opinion?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the Jinluan Palace frowned in unison.
Even Lu Shaoze is no exception.
Emperor Wu frowned in thought just now, apparently because of what his father said, which made him suspicious.
At present, most civil servants support the eldest prince Wu Yuan, while the military generals support King Rui Wu An.
He thought that today's matter would come to an end here, but he didn't expect that Emperor Wu would actually ask Lao Fang?
hehe!
Under the current situation, Wu Yuan has obviously lost his sacred heart.
Thanks to the support of military generals, Wu An's results were roughly the same.
If another candidate suddenly appears, His Majesty will consider it carefully.
This is the human heart!
Lu Shaoze could guess it, and Fang Weimin naturally understood it too.
And what he was waiting for was for Emperor Wu to ask!
"Your Majesty, I am just a disciple of the princes. Although I hold the title of Young Master, I am at most a teacher."
Speaking of this, Fang Weimin suddenly changed the subject and said:
"I can't say much about the matter of establishing a crown prince, but since His Majesty has asked about it, I support the sixth prince Wu Xun."
"Huh? Xun'er? Why?" Emperor Wu asked doubtfully.
Wu Xun's child is only seven years old now. How can he be worthy of such a big responsibility at such a young age?
Besides, he was not a direct descendant, and he was not the elder among concubines, so why should he be regarded as a treasure?
Not only was Emperor Wu puzzled, but some of the ministers were also confused.
They knew who the sixth prince was, but that child lived in the palace all year round and no one had ever seen him!
How can it be possible to let a prince who doesn't know his roots sit on the throne of prince?
But before everyone could object, Fang Weimin quickly walked out of the queue, then bent down and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I have been teaching all the princes for many days, but only the sixth prince impressed me!"
"Although His Highness the Sixth Prince is young, his benevolence has already been demonstrated. He has the virtue of respecting the elderly and the virtuous, and he is considerate of the sufferings of the people."
"Wei Chen has seen a lot in his travels around the world, but this is the only child with such both talent and political integrity that he has seen in his life!"
"Therefore, if Your Highness becomes the crown prince, you will definitely ensure my great prosperity and long-lasting peace!"
Fang Weimin's few words were impassioned, and Emperor Wu's eyelids jumped as he listened.
"My six sons, are they really as good as Aiqing says?"
He had nine sons and two daughters, but he was only familiar with the two legitimate sons of the queen.
I really don’t know much about the other children.
However, after Jing Fang Weimin said this, Emperor Wu immediately became interested in this sixth son.
The position of prince may not necessarily be given to him, but while there is still time, you might as well learn more about it!
Thinking of this, he was ready to wave and retreat to meet his Qilin'er.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened!
I saw Rui Wang Wu'an walking out of the queue after Fang Weimin finished speaking:
"Father, I think what Master Fang said is very true. If the crown prince is the sixth younger brother, I am willing to obey!"
As soon as Wu An said these words, the generals headed by Lu Dingbang immediately became numb.
Good guy!
Everyone tried so hard to recommend you as the crown prince, but you actually gave it up?
Are you still a little kid?
How about playing? ?
Not only were the generals confused, but the civil servants and Wu Yuan were also dumbfounded.
King Rui’s move is really inappropriate!
But what was different from everyone else was that after Lu Shaoze heard this, he inadvertently glanced at Wu An again.
Then he frowned and said secretly: "As expected of a prince, he can retreat in order to advance. It seems that he underestimates you!"
Is Wu An a fool?
Obviously not!
What his father said just now made Emperor Wu frown, and he must have noticed it.
Even though Duke Dingguo came forward, he couldn't make the Holy One make up his mind. Instead, he frowned?
Perhaps in Wu An's mind, His Majesty's move showed that he was no longer destined for that position?
That being the case, why not take a step back?
Now that he has the support of the generals, it is best to act as a free prince for the time being and plan for the future!
Moreover, by speaking out in support of His Highness the Sixth Prince today, in the future His Highness will not embarrass those generals when he ascends the throne, and will even remember the kindness of his elder brother!
If you have both the sacred heart and the military spirit, why worry about failing to accomplish great things?
In fact, Lu Shaoze wanted to score exactly the same, and Wu An did think so.
He knew very well that even with the support of civilian officials, the imperial brother would not be able to sit in that position.
After a hundred years, my father can lead a large army to take Kyoto directly!
The throne?
Haha~
Only if you can catch it!
However, His Majesty did not pay attention to what Wu An said.
The prince cannot be close to civil servants and military commanders, and the same is true.
Only balance is the right way!
This matter cannot be rushed.
"Oh, it's just that Yuan'er is such a waste, otherwise why would I need to work so hard?"
Muttering secretly, Emperor Wu immediately stepped off the dragon throne.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhuo on the side quickly shouted at the top of his voice:
"Retreat from the court~"
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
"..."
The ministers bent down uniformly and watched Emperor Wu leave the Jinluan Hall until he disappeared.
But just as Emperor Wu left, Wu Yuan suddenly looked back and stared directly at Prince Rui with his cold eyes!
After a long time, he finally said through gritted teeth:
"Second brother, you are very good!"
After saying that, he turned around, flicked his sleeves and stepped out of the Jinluan Palace.
Competing with his brother, a compatriot from the same mother, for the position of crown prince, but turning around to support that gadget of his sixth brother?
damn thing!
"Thank you for the compliment, brother Huang." Wu An replied with a smile.
What would the Imperial Brother think?
He doesn't care!
"The general's help today is all thanks to Shaoze. I should go find him and have a good talk."
"As for the throne?"
"Haha~ Wait for me..."
