Chapter 156 Who is the Prince?

Emperor Yongle was angry. Originally, he thought that Chu Yuanshan could still take care of the queen's face. He sincerely imagined that Zhou Jiangshan. Hearing what he said, his heart was really cold as if he had been splashed by ice water.

He picked up the teacup without leaking his voice, whispered, put it down again, and asked Chu Yuanshan: "If Yang Sheng, the king of Ruijun, really has this rebellious heart, he will really lose my expectation and love for him. If you don't set him up, Chu Qing means to make the king of Jin the crown prince?"

Chu Yuanshan's eyebrows jumped, and Emperor Yongle said it directly, which made him slightly stunned and deal with it freely in an instant: "There are all kinds of speculations for Prince Rui. There is no real evidence. If he is wronged, it is also unfair to him. However, the emperor is sitting in the world. If he really wants to investigate, he can also find out. It's just like this. Come on..."

Emperor Yongle took over and sighed, "In this way, even if Prince Rui does not have a rebellious heart, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. I don't believe that his words reach his ears, which will only hurt his heart, alas! That's all. I don't want to chill the emperor's heart.

Chu Yuanshan followed the meaning of Emperor Yongle: "This is also the same reason. The emperor is kind, and the benevolent emperor is also a blessing for the prince, and the old minister admires it!"

"Don't mention those false things. If Prince Rui doesn't become the crown prince, there will only be the king of Jin. Chu Qing means to echo the intention of Zhenxihou, and also hope to make the king of Jin the crown prince?"

"Your Majesty is wise! The old minister did not agree with Zhenxihou, but the result of careful consideration!"

"Oh, Chu Qing, come on, I'm not sure, so I can refer to it."

Chu Yuanshan stood up and leaned over to Emperor Yongle, "Thank you for your grace." His eyes were light, but he was shrewd. He explained to Emperor Yongle: "Since ancient times, ministers have privately formed gangs and seek personal gains for their own interests, but the best backer is not the minister of the dynasty, but the crown prince who will reign in the world in the future. In order to get the attention of the prince who is the prince, he will grab before the prince is appointed as the crown prince. ** He cheated the prince's trust and seek common interests, and put the supreme emperor in the world aside and set him as a chess piece.

"Presumptuous! The traitors are really annoying!" When Emperor Yongle heard this, he cursed angrily.

Chu Yuanshan sighed, "Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, Rong Chen is meticulous. In the current situation, the position of the prince is vacant, and everyone knows that Prince Rui is the only sound prince of the emperor. The King of Jin is stupid, and the opportunity to ascend the throne in Japan is basically slim. Naturally, he will slap Prince Rui early in the morning and promise to recommend Prince Rui to ascend the throne. Everyone will share it in Japan. May I ask if Prince Rui really accepts these ministers. Zi's private promise will definitely give back the interests of these ministers. After ascending the throne, he is afraid that the favor owed will tie the emperor. He is interested in remedial the world, but he can't let go..."

"I understand! But the king of Jin's mind is not changed. If he is established as the crown prince, he is afraid that people will not accept it, and he is simple in nature. How can he control his ministers and control the world in the future?

"Your Majesty, although the king of Jin is simple and generous, he was not like this. The old minister still remembers that the king of Jin was absolutely superior to other princes when he was a child, but after a fall, his mind was a little dull, but the old minister has also read some medical books. There is such a situation in the book, which is likely that the patient is due to the impact. The injury and blood in the brain did not melt, which hindered the patient's thinking. At that time, the king of Jin was young, and the imperial doctor failed to treat him so that he fell to the root of the disease. As long as the emperor ordered the imperial hospital to treat the hospital wholeheartedly, it is not impossible for the king of Jin to recover.

Emperor Yongle sighed again, but only looked at the roof beams and pillars silently, and there was a faint sadness on his face.

Chu Yuanshan had no way out, but could only continue to defend: "The emperor is worried that the people in the world are not convinced by the king of Jin. The old minister feels that this is basically impossible. The world of the Zhou Dynasty is the emperor. The emperor has sealed who is the prince? No one dares to say half a word. As long as the emperor is canoned, the king of Jin is the true dragon emperor. The minister should help himself wholeheartedly, and the subjects worship him. How uneasy is the world? Who will be dissatisfied?

"In addition, Xiaoyi, the king of Jin, heard that the prince was killed that day and cried several times. The emperor was assassinated. He did not think about using his flesh and blood to help the emperor block the knife. With this thought alone, he is the absolute king of benevolence!"

A scene from Taiye Lake appeared in the mind of Emperor Yongle. Thinking of the completely different performance of his two sons, he was a little gloomy. Prince Rui really put himself first, and even his father could not be left.

It's the same. If I die, he will naturally be the right choice for king.

"What Chu Qing said makes sense. I will think about the prince's matter. As for Ruoxi, it's almost time, right?"

When Emperor Yongle mentioned Chu Ruoxi, there was a faint smile on his eyebrows, "She is the crown prince. Who is the crown prince? It's about who Ruoxi's husband is. I also have to think about it carefully, and I can't wrong her to go."

Chu Yuanshan immediately said, "Ruoxi borrowed three points of auspiciousness from the emperor and was lucky enough to marry into the heavenly family, which is her great favor. How can there be so many grievances? For the sake of Zhou Jiangshan Society, as long as it is the emperor's appointed candidate, it is Ruoxi's good man in this life. Old minister, Ruoxi will not feel wronged. The emperor doesn't have to worry about these. , please do everything according to the emperor's own wishes.

"Okay, I'll think about it again!"

"Your Highness, please stay. You can't go in."

Because of the confidential matters about Jiangshan and Sheji, Emperor Yongle had already withdrawn the slaves served in the palace, so he had to work with Chu Yuanshan.

Anderford's eager and frightened dissuade from outside the hall: "Your Highness, the emperor is inside, and no one is allowed to enter..."

"Unbridled, after the early morning, I didn't see my father. How can I feel at ease? How can you fool me with just a few words? I have to see my father and make sure that there is nothing to do before I can rest assured."

Prince Rui scolded Andehai and was a little dissatisfied in his words, "Duke An, it's not that I disrespect you, but that my father's safety is in danger. You don't serve in front of your father, but you are here to block my way. The assassins in the palace are unpreventable. Is this how you slaves serve your father?"

Prince Rui wanted to break in despite Anderford's obstruction. He was eager for quick success and benefits. At present, it was obviously an eventful autumn. If his father was not fit, he would never leave a room and minister in the early morning. After waiting for more than half an hour, he did not see him in the palace. He was worried about whether his father was not feeling well and was kidnapped by the powerful ministers, because he was full of courtiers and Chu Yuanshan alone.

"Your Majesty..." Andefu was scolded by the king of Rui. He couldn't say anything, but he saw that the wooden door of Qianyuan Hall was pushed away with a creak, and the figure of Emperor Yongle gradually became clear. He glanced at the king of Rui, looked ominous and said angrily, "Presumptuous, is this also a place where you can come?"

When King Rui saw the slightly angry Yongle Emperor, he hurried up to say goodbye, "I will pay my father's greetings!" It's not that the minister is presumptuous, but that the previous dynasty didn't see his father's coming to the court, and the minister was worried that he came to visit!"

He saw Chu Yuanshan behind Emperor Yongle and was shocked. Chu Yuanshan looked indifferent, but his eyes were a little colder than usual, which made him feel uneasy.

"The old minister has seen the prince!"

Chu Yuanshan asked for safety first, and the king of Rui quickly helped him up. "The Duke of Dingguo is highly valued. I dare not accept the second big gift. Please get up quickly."

Emperor Yongle asked Anderford, "Has it been past the early morning?"

"I haven't returned to the emperor, but it's a little late..."

"I'm going to pass on my will. I'm a little weak today, so I'll get it in the early morning. I'm going back to the hall to rest." He also said to Chu Yuanshan, "Ruoxi has not entered the palace for a few days. The queen remembers that she is also about to enter the palace. Since the prince left, the queen has been depressed and her depression has been difficult to disappear. She is more affection for Ruoxi. It's better to let Ruoxi move to the palace and live with the queen as well!"

Chu Yuanshan's heart jumped down. The meaning of Emperor Yongle made Ruoxi enter the palace as soon as possible, saying that the queen missed her, but since the last trip to the palace, she and Ruoxi have not been as close as before. It can also be said that Ruoxi was instinctively a little alienated from the queen. I'm afraid that what Yongle Emperor said was mostly an excuse. .

He was so eager to get Ruoxi into the palace to take her as a hostage and deter himself?

Because it is now at a critical juncture, it is also appropriate for Emperor Yongle to have concerns in his heart.

"What my father said is very right. Sooner or later, Ruoxi will be the daughter-in-law of her mother. It's not much different from coming in early to serve her later. Don't hesitate to follow your father's wishes and invite the crown princess to enter the palace!"

Prince Rui saw that the position of Chu Ruoxi's crown princess was more stable than the queen's position. He had set up several times to approach her in Chang'an County as early as possible. He wanted to have some love with her, so as to get the support of Chu Yuanshan, and the road to becoming an emperor must be much smoother.

At the first time in the capital, she had poor connections and could not go to Chu's sister Ruoxi's house unscrupulously like a fool of the king of Jin. She suffered from not having a chance to approach Chu Ruoxi. At present, her father wanted to summon her into the palace. The two looked up and lowered their heads. They didn't believe the prince. Chu Ruoxi, who became half a widow. He is as energetic as the prince of Prince Yang Zheng!

Chu Yuanshan's eyebrows jumped several times and did not agree on the spot. He replied, "Ruoxi was frightened by the assassin's incident. She has been lying in Yilanju these days and has not left the house. It is her blessing that the empresses her. When the old minister returns to the house, she will tell her to go to the palace to serve the empress."

The king of Rui was stunned. It was rumored that Chu Yuanshan was in power in the dynasty, and his father was overshadowed by him. His father's words could not be heard at all. Hearing him as believing it was true. I didn't expect him to be so bold before. Today, when I saw him, Prince Rui was able to see it.

Prince Rui was not in his heart and was about to say something sarcastic, but Emperor Yongle did not blame him. Instead, he comforted him: "Ruoxi's body is not right. It's inevitable that she will be in a bad mood these days. Chu Qing should not force her too much, whatever she wants!"

Emperor Yongle drove back to rest, paused in front of the sedan chair and said to Prince Rui, "You also go to Fengyi Palace to visit the queen when you are free. She is also your mother. Don't neglect it. Also, after dinner, come to my bedroom. I haven't talked to you in private for a long time. Today, I'm free. Easy to sit down."

Chu Yuanshan's heart has just calmed down, such as being hit by a big stone, looking at the distant Yongle Emperor, a little frightened: the emperor wants to summon Prince Rui alone? Is it for the prince?
