I, Tianlaozhen Wangu, support the Empress from behind!

Chapter 226: Great Bargain or Great Terror?

"Uh--"

The three of them looked at each other and thought, this is really a "good thing", after exchanging glances.

They all nodded secretly.

The Grand Tutor, the head of the Three Dukes, stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, based on the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel and the reputation of the people, we recommend the Eleventh Prince!"

The eleventh prince Qin Guangren.

He just turned eighteen this year. He has been smart and clever since he was young, and is kind and benevolent. He is known as the Little Wise King.

His mother was the legitimate daughter of a remote aristocratic family. After being selected into the palace, she was given the name Qing Fei by the old King Qian and had always been obedient in the harem.

Now that the Grand Tutor has mentioned this, she probably won't have any peace in the harem.

Chu He shook his head secretly.

The Three Dukes have always been one and the same, and the Grand Tutor and the Sixth Prince are particularly close.

He also secretly tried to win him over through Marquis Weiwu.

Now that King Qian mentioned this.

They immediately pushed the eleventh prince out, and everyone could see their intention.

However, the Eleventh Prince is from the Academy of Literature and is highly regarded by the Chief Priest.

Sure enough, at this moment, an old man with gray hair on his temples spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, the Eleventh Prince is still young and does not know the ways of the ruler. This old minister feels that this is inappropriate."

"Master Jijiu, the way of the king can be learned later. I think that's acceptable. Or is it that you, Master Jijiu, have selfish motives and don't want the Great Qian Dynasty to be passed down through the ages?"

At this time, the Grand Tutor asked back.

"You..." The chief priest pointed at the tutor and almost exploded with anger.

Who is selfish?

Isn't your selfishness obvious enough?

But although the Taifu's words were simple, every word made sense, and the way of a king can indeed be learned.

More importantly, he did have selfish motives. The Eleventh Prince was a rare talent in studying, and if he was praised to death by this group of people, he would be in great trouble.

Then they are civilized.

When will a literary saint emerge?

The chief priest knew that he had no hope of becoming a literary saint in this life.

But the eleventh prince is different.

This boy is very talented. If he is polished a little, he may have great potential.

"Your Majesty, I still think it is inappropriate." The chief priest had no choice but to resort to cheating.

The Three Dukes were also scholars.

But unlike them who are scholars who pursue literary virtues, the other party still practices martial arts.

"Do you three gentlemen all agree that the eleventh prince is capable of taking on the important task?" Listening to the argument among several people, the old King Qian frowned slightly and asked majestically.

Old Eleven knows it very well.

He has received a lot of praise since he was a child. He has a gentle personality and a spirituality. It is not impossible for him to be a king of peace.

It’s a pity that Daqian is currently busy with many things and cannot sustain its culture and morality.

Thinking of this, the old King Qian looked at the three ministers with a hint of severity in his eyes.

What kind of people are the Three Dukes? They have been trying to figure out the emperor's mind for hundreds of years. When the old King Qian's eyes changed, the three of them immediately knew that this proposal made the old King Qian unhappy.

But they also have something to rely on.

Thinking of this, the Grand Tutor continued, "Your Majesty, this is due to the wishes of all the officials in the court. I just happened to bring it with me."

"Hmm?" The old Qian Wang stared at the Grand Tutor for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Haha, since the Grand Tutor has brought him here, Daban, go get him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Zhang stood beside the old King Qian like a clay sculpture. He bowed and walked over when he heard the words.

"Master Grand Master, please."

"Hehe..." The Grand Tutor chuckled, took out a letter from his arms, and slowly placed it in Eunuch Zhang's hand.

"This is the wish of the court officials. I hope the Grand Steward will pass it on to His Majesty." The Grand Tutor seemed to have handed down a heavy burden.

This made Eunuch Zhang's expression change slightly.

He was a eunuch and according to ancestral rules he was not allowed to interfere in court affairs.

But he is also the chief steward of the palace and is responsible for the palace's intelligence.

The actions of the three officials also received a lot of praise.

On the surface, this memorial represents the wishes of the court officials, but in reality it is the Three Dukes putting pressure on the old King Qian.

This was a premeditated action!

In an instant.

Eunuch Zhang thought a lot in his mind, but he nodded silently.

The old prince looked at the names of officials at all levels on the memorial, including the six ministers, and even the royal relatives...

Old King Qian looked at it for a long time.

His expression remained unchanged, and no one could figure out what he was thinking.

The atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became solemn.

"Good, good, very good." The old King Qian relaxed his brows, closed the letter in his hand, put it down, and spoke slowly.

"Marquis Shengwu, where are your military officers?"

Old King Qian turned his head.

He looked at the several great martial marquises and tapped his index finger lightly on the long rosewood table, making a low muffled sound.

"I, this old minister, believe that in the current situation of Daqian, we should focus on courageous expansion, so as to protect our vast mountains and rivers..."

"This old minister recommends His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." Marquis Shengwu stood up and said calmly with an expressionless face.

"hiss--"

As soon as the Holy Martial Marquis finished speaking, everyone on the Chuhe military officer's side gasped.

The old King Qian's meaning tonight has been very clear. He wants to push out a scapegoat first to pave the way for the prince he really likes.

The six princes’ holy scrolls are endless.

What happened in the Jiangnan area.

Although the old King Qian was trying his best to block it, everyone in the field knew something about it.

Because of this, they are even more confused.

The old King Qian's meaning was too vague, and it was not at all like his previous decisiveness.

The former crown prince was deposed just like that.

"What about you guys? Do you mean the same thing?" Old King Qian's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at Tianwu Hou and his men.

The other Marquises, without hesitation, immediately bowed and said, "We are of the same opinion."

Only Tianwu Hou looked hesitant.

He knew better than anyone else, including the three ministers, how terrifying the Sixth Prince was, and seizing the throne was his next plan.

Although standing in front of the stage at this time would be much riskier, they have already united a lot of people, plus the Sixth Prince's own abilities.

If you get the title of prince.

It would be more convenient for the Sixth Prince to act.

The risks that come with it are not a big deal.

As for the fact that the Grand Tutor had been secretly winking at him, he just pretended not to see it.

Anyway, it's at the Sixth Prince's place.

They are also two factions.

After figuring it out, Tianwu Hou also raised his hand in agreement.

Seeing this scene, the three Taifu almost started cursing.

"The courage of a common man can bring disaster to the country and cause trouble..."

"Good!" Old King Qian seemed extremely satisfied with this candidate and nodded secretly in praise.

Finally, the old King Qian asked the nobles again, and someone mentioned the previous popular figures, such as the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince, and so on.

As for Chu He, King Qian also asked a routine question.

Chu He immediately answered the Sixth Prince.

Soon, the matter in the meeting room came to an end, and everyone left with confusion.

Old King Qian is playing something weird tonight.

Even the Three Dukes and others did not dare to be sure that they had guessed what King Qian was thinking.

Just when Chu He was about to leave, Eunuch Zhang's slightly sharp voice came from behind him.

"Lord Chu, the emperor has a request."

"Yeah." Chu He nodded slightly.

After saying goodbye to Marquis Weiwu, he followed Eunuch Zhang back to the conference room.

Old King Qian was sitting there with a thoughtful look on his face.

Chu He sat on the stool, quietly waiting for the old King Qian's instructions.

"Lord Chu, I have something else I want to ask you!"

After a while.

Old King Qian came back to his senses and spoke.
