Soon, Li Jinglong walked in with his head held high. Seeing Lan Yu, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why are you here too?"
"I should be the one to say this, right?" Lan Yu sarcastically said, "You just come here empty-handed?"
"I..." Li Jinglong froze, then sneered, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between wise men is as plain as water, and it is not vain."
After a pause, he said sarcastically: "Unlike you, the friendship between villains is very sweet."
His slippery words and a few words made Lan Yu so angry that her face turned red and her neck was thick.
If Li Qing hadn't stopped him, Li Jinglong would have been beaten violently.
Li Qing said calmly, "Either we can talk about the past in peace, or you both go back."
Now he feels at ease. Heavyweights from both sides have arrived. This time, he is still in a neutral position.
Lan Yu snorted coldly, turned away and stopped talking to Li Jinglong. The latter ignored him and just pulled Li Qing to greet him.
After a while of greetings and greetings, Li Jinglong took the lead to get to the point, "Brother Li, Emperor Sun Yunwen is talented and intelligent, and he has the style of a prince..."
"Fuck you." Lan Yu interrupted, "Is the emperor Yunxi that bad?
Moreover, if Zhu Yunwen is a concubine, how can he succeed to the throne of Prince Zhu Biao? "
"What a legitimate eldest son." Li Jinglong sneered, "The biological mother of Emperor Sun Yunwen is the Crown Princess. He is not only the legitimate son, but also the eldest son!"
Lan Yu said disdainfully, "Zhu Yunwen was a bastard when he was born. He will only be a bastard for the rest of his life. Is he worthy of continuing his marriage?"
"Presumptuous." Li Jinglong said angrily, "You can have arbitrary opinions on the Crown Princess. Do you believe that I will impeach you?"
"Don't you fucking dare to go online with me!" Lan Yu also got angry, "Besides making snitches, what else can you do?
Disloyalty, the way of a concubine!
The old Duke's reputation has been fucking ruined by you. If he knew, you, a good old man, bowing your knees to civil servants, I'm afraid he will be angry, you noble traitor. "
When Li Jinglong heard that Lan Yu was making trouble with his father again, he immediately became angry, "Lanyu, you scold my father again..."
"I'm scolding you!" Lan Yu said angrily, "You traitor, I'm even ashamed of General Li."
"Fuck you." Li Jinglong broke his guard, picked up the wine jar on the table, and smashed Lan Yu's head.
Li Qing was speechless and said to himself: You can beat others, you are so good and fun-loving!
As expected, Lan Yu easily dodged and then picked up Li Jinglong and beat him up.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, please say something."
Brother Li doesn't want to talk... Li Qing is really convinced by this guy and can't beat him, so why are you fighting?
After a while, seeing that Lan Yu didn't stop, Li Qing reluctantly advised, "If you have anything to say, I just came back and was very tired from the journey. That's it for today. I'll treat you to a drink another day."
After all the hard talk, Lan Yu was finally persuaded.
The two also knew that with each other around, they would not be able to win over Li Qing tonight, so they pulled each other away together.
Li Qing sent the two of them out, locked the door, and went back to sleep while humming a little tune.
…
The next day, at dawn, Li Qing entered the palace.
In the imperial study room, after waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the morning court and arrived late.
"My lord, Li Qing..."
"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Everyone please step back. No one is allowed to come in without orders."
"My slave obeys the order." Xiao Huangmen bowed and exited the hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the imperial desk and sat down, raised his chin and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qing sat in front of Lao Zhu and said, "Your Majesty, the situation outside the pass... is not optimistic!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and frowned: "We have read your memorial. Logically speaking, the situation outside the customs will not change so fast. There should be something fishy in it."
"Perhaps, but it is a fact that the Yuan people are cooperating with the tribes, and the court must make countermeasures." Li Qing scratched his head, "Your Majesty, the army can no longer be locked up. It has been so long, and you have not yet been crowned prince. Is it a suitable candidate?”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeper, pondered for a long time, and asked: "Who do you think is more suitable, Yunwen or Yunxi?"
Li Qing couldn't figure out whether Lao Zhu was testing him, so he said calmly: "How dare you talk nonsense like this?"
After a pause, he added: "By the way, Your Majesty, Lan Yu and Li Jinglong both went to my house last night."
"Well, we know." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "But you take the initiative to tell us. This is a good attitude and we like it."
"..." Li Qing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we should not delay the position of Crown Prince for too long. I'm afraid it will affect the country!"
"Well, we understand, it's time to end." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a helpless tone, "You will also attend the afternoon meeting. When the court officials are almost ready, you will take the lead in making an invitation to... establish Yunxi as the emperor's grandson."
"Ah?!" Li Qing was shocked and everyone was dumbfounded.
"Ah what?" Zhu Yuanzhang was startled by him and said angrily, "Do you think Yunxi is not useful?"
"No, no." Li Qing waved his hands repeatedly and laughed dryly, "I am surprised. Your Majesty will have a grandson at noon."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and said, "Be strict with your words. If you reveal it in advance, I will skin you."
"Don't dare."
As we all know, Lao Zhu's peeling is never an adjective.
Li Qing was shocked. He didn't understand what went wrong. He didn't interfere at all this time. Why would Lao Zhu make a different choice?
Could it be that the change has not happened yet?
…
At noon, all the ministers gathered together.
The drama of fighting for heirs has been played out countless times. After the officials finished performing the courtesy of a king and his ministers, they spontaneously started to take sides without waiting for Lao Zhu to speak.
The Minister of Rites was the first to go out, "Your Majesty, the great emperor is kind and virtuous. He has the demeanor of a prince and can be of great use."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs retorted: "This is wrong. To establish a direct descendant, the second emperor's grandson is the best candidate."
The Minister of Rites came out and refuted again: "The Emperor's grandson's biological mother is the Crown Princess, so he should be the one to be the direct heir and eldest son."
"No, the eldest emperor's grandson was born in the front, and his biological mother was promoted to the crown princess in the back. From this, it can be concluded that the eldest emperor's grandson is still a concubine.
Don’t you hear that King Zhou of Shang Dynasty had an affair with Wei Zi? "
"Haha... What a fallacy." Another person said, "The system of eldest son inheritance only started after the Zhou Dynasty. You take the Yin Shang Dynasty as an example, it is simply ridiculous."
"Second opinion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also born as a concubine, but when his biological mother was promoted to queen, she was also established as a prince. From this, it can be concluded that as long as the biological mother is a concubine, she is a direct descendant."
"Haha, I beg to differ..."
…
Li Qing couldn't name the officials, but it was quite exciting to watch these ministers, who were well-read in poetry and books, quoting from classics and debating. It was much more exciting than watching a big show.
Looking at Lao Zhu, not only was he not in a hurry, he seemed to enjoy this feeling.
It's like two boxers fighting, and Lao Zhu is the referee, and he is the referee who says who wins, wins.
He could easily decide who won. The reason why he didn't say anything was just to watch the excitement for a while longer.
If you are not in a hurry, then neither am I... Li Qing continued to watch the show.
I have to say that these people are really talented. They all cited scriptures and provided Li Qing'e with a lot of historical knowledge.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang had had enough of the excitement, coughed twice, and the noisy hall immediately fell silent.
Lao Zhu glanced at Li Qing. Li Qing understood and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think that the second emperor's grandson can be of great use."
"Well, what I said makes sense and is in line with my wishes." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
brush--!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qing, their eyes filled with shock and anger.
Those who support Zhu Yunxi hate him because Li Qing supports Zhu Yunxi.
Those who support Zhu Yunxi hate him because Li Qing has been avoiding trouble for more than half a year, and when he comes up, he wants to seize the Dragon's Head Gong. How can they bear it?
We have been busy for half a year, lighting lamps and boiling oil all night long. When it comes time to divide the fruits, you just take the big head just to watch the fun. Isn’t it too ugly to eat?
Li Qing secretly sighed: Lao Zhu is so shady. When the grandchildren come, they still want me to be a lonely minister. Damn it...
He once again petitioned: "The crown prince is the foundation of the country. It should not be delayed for too long. If I dare to give advice, the second emperor's grandson can be established as the emperor's grandson."
Lan Yu was the first to respond, blushing and shouting: "I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal."
Although Zhu Yunxi's supporters were dissatisfied with Li Qing, they did not want to miss a major event.
"I object."
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
…
The hall became noisy again.
Seeing that the emperor's face was not very good, Xiao Guizi immediately screamed: "Quiet!"
Zhu Yunwen's supporters were unwilling to give in, but seeing the emperor's face gloomy, they did not dare to say any more words, and the hall quickly became quiet.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, stretched, and glanced at Xiao Guizi.
Xiao Guizi understood, and immediately took out the imperial edict he had prepared, and cleared his throat, "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says: The second emperor's grandson..."
"Your Majesty, I will recite my blood-soaked words!"
Someone stood up at the entrance of the palace, rushed away from everyone, and walked forward with his neck stiffened.
In an instant, everyone paid attention to this man and dared to interrupt the edict when it was being read. It was simply boring.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy and he cursed: "You are so presumptuous, here comes..."
This man knew that time was precious, so he simply interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted: "Your Majesty, do you know what the consequences will be if your relatives have exclusive power?
Does the emperor know Huo Guang?
Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the throne, Your Majesty...! "
