Above, Emperor Wu put aside the brush in his hand. Seeing that Lu Feng showed no signs of anger, he just said:
"Say it."
If it was really an important matter, Lu Qingtian would not let Lu Feng come to see him.
Emperor Wu thought so in his heart.
Lu Feng said calmly:
"I wonder who your Majesty has chosen to be the crown prince?"
A young boy who was still childish was discussing this important national event with him. Emperor Wu looked at Lu Feng for a long time and made sure that Lu Feng did not just say this casually, and then said:
"What can I do if I tell you? Lu Qingtian asked you to come here and ask?"
"Your Majesty only needs to answer my words."
Lu Fengdao.
Emperor Wu did not answer directly. He smiled and said to Lu Feng:
"If your father wants to ask something, just ask him to come over and ask me. No need to go to such trouble."
Furthermore, he didn't think Lu Qingtian would cooperate with him in pushing the person up.
Lu Feng ignored him and continued:
"This is the last time, Your Majesty, who do you want to be the crown prince?"
Emperor Wu observed the change in Lu Feng's expression, and his smile gradually disappeared. He could tell that Lu Feng was not joking with him.
He promised Lu Qingtian that he would never include his son in his calculations.
But now, it was Lu Feng who asked to enter the palace to find him.
"... My favorite candidate for the crown prince has been criticized a lot. What are you going to do?"
After closing his eyes, Xiao Wu finally said it.
Even if that woman harmed him, the past love was not fake. That child was their only bloodline.
When he said this, Lu Feng understood clearly. His father had told him before that the seventh prince was the most like his Majesty among the princes.
But how could a woman with a felony conviction allow him to sit in this position justifiably?
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Feng's voice came to his ears.
"The common people don't know the inside story. Only officials from the DPRK and China know about it, and there are not many of them."
He looked directly into Xiao Wu's eyes and spoke calmly:
"Then, just deal with them."
Sure enough, Lu Qingtian and Lu Feng talked about this matter. Although it was disgraceful, it was also true.
"Your father's mouth is indeed not strict enough."
Xiao Wu would be angry before, but now he is not.
Perhaps it was because he was often unable to do what he wanted, which made him feel that he was not so omnipotent.
Just like those disobedient officials can do whatever they want, but what about the main ones? Xiao Wu knew that he could not move any of them.
He could not persuade the courtiers to appoint the one he liked as the crown prince, so he could only take some extreme measures.
This is why Xiao Wu doesn't care whether those sons are alive or dead.
"Your Majesty is indeed very cruel. My father has been with you for so long, and it seems that all he got in exchange was a sharp knife in the back."
"Can I ask what your Majesty's plan is?"
In Xiao Wu's eyes, the farce these days is just playing house. He looked at Lu Feng and said:
"Your father is a Marquis and now has military power in his hands. I have reason to transfer people to the hilly area to exterminate the bandits. I will go there myself."
Lu Feng was stunned, he wanted to do it himself.
Xiao Wu smiled slightly.
"Your father and I are brothers, so we should send him off for the last time. In fact, it's okay to tear off your skin and replace him with another one today."
It's just that there are too many flaws, and Lu Qingtian can see it.
That's the last resort.
"But Your Majesty, I have a thick skin. Even if ten people try to pull me away, I probably won't be able to pull him off."
When Lu Feng said this, he stood up.
Then, Xiao Wu bowed slightly to him with a slightly surprised look.
"I will fulfill your Majesty's wishes, just as I said to the child in the courtyard."
Xiao Wu had an unclear look in his eyes, but he understood the meaning of Lu Feng's words.
After finishing what he was going to say, Lu Feng opened the door of the imperial study and walked out without waiting for Xiao Wu to let him go down.
Lu Feng's behavior was a slight to disrespect the king's law, but Xiao Wu didn't say anything. He just asked people to bring the people from the Royal Forest Army over.
Soon, two of them were escorted over.
The yard where Lu Feng was staying before was not big, and they could hear the people in the room talking, they just had to be careful.
The two guards lay on the ground in horror, not knowing what they had done wrong.
"See Your Majesty!"
Xiao Wu let them kneel like this, and asked Lu Feng expressionlessly who he met while staying in the yard and what he said.
Naturally, they didn't dare to hide it, so they told the truth.
"Only one left?...Hahahaha, Lu Qingtian, you really gave birth to a good son!"
Xiao Wu suddenly laughed.
The eunuchs and maids nearby knelt down in fear, waiting for Xiao Wu to finish laughing.
His sharp eyes glanced at everyone. Yes, the reason why he had such troubles was because he had too many sons, and each courtier supported him differently.
Xiao Wu didn't want to see anyone plotting rebellion in his lifetime, nor did he want Lu Qingtian to actually stand on his opposite side.
"Go and get an imperial edict."
He turned around and sat back down indifferently.
The great eunuch asked cautiously:
"Then these two people..."
"killed."
The guards who heard these two words were immediately shocked and wanted to crawl towards Xiao Wu.
"Your Majesty, we just lost our minds for a moment, Your Majesty! That damn bastard asked us to do things for him with money, and we just thought it would be okay to say a few words!"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to die yet!"
No matter how they scream, no one can intercede for them here.
Using money to get them to do things is not loyal enough.
The other guards took the person away in a familiar manner, and not long after, a blank imperial edict was also sent over.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
There was a look of surprise in the big eunuch's eyes.
He saw Xiao Wu take out the smooth white jade seal from the secret compartment.
Xiao Wu picked up his pen and spoke quietly:
"Today, I want to establish a prince."
The great eunuch was shocked in his heart, but did not show any signs of it on his face. He walked to his side and polished his ink.
The black and white characters on the imperial edict gradually appeared, each stroke was extremely powerful, and finally the title of prince was replaced by the word Xiao Jue.
Seeing this, the great eunuch finally sighed.
He did not hide his sigh, and Xiao Wu did not blame him for it.
The chief eunuch has been with Xiao Wu for a long time and knows his thoughts best. He is also one of the people Xiao Wu trusts most.
It was left to him by his mother-in-law.
The written imperial edict was quickly dried. Xiao Wu rolled it up and placed it in a secret compartment together with the jade seal. The matter could be announced in the morning tomorrow morning.
"Don't mention the matter of establishing a prince to anyone."
Only the chief eunuch knew who was above the imperial edict, and the rest of the palace maids and guards all bowed their heads in response.
But after they walked out of this door, it was difficult to talk about it. The great eunuch stared at the faces of these people and wrote down their names one by one.
