Looking at the ten princes kneeling on the ground in fear, the emperor couldn't help but say, "Yang'er, you get up first." ”"Yes, Father."
The Ten Princes stood up as they said.When the Ten Princes stood up, the Emperor fell on the faces of the Ten Princes, and continued to ask the Ten Princes: "Yang'er, I ask you, who do you think is more capable of taking on the responsibility than your three emperor brothers?"
”"Father, you are fine now, and your sons don't want to discuss this matter."
The Ten Princes didn't want to answer."
Yang'er, if I ask you, you will answer truthfully."
The emperor looked very serious, and continued to ask: "If I want to choose one of you and your three emperor brothers to be the crown prince, which of you do you think is more suitable?"
”The Ten Princes also looked up at the emperor, not knowing how to answer at all, how could he answer such a question?
The emperor is his father, but the emperor is also the emperor of a country, and how can the emperor be satisfied with his answer.At this time, the emperor said: "There is no need to have any worries, there are too many people in front of me, and I want to listen to you tell the truth." ”"Father really wants to hear the truth?""
Nature."
The tenth prince said: "The son is only afraid that his father will blame him." ”"Say, I don't blame you."
The emperor still insisted that the ten princes tell the truth.The Ten Emperors thought about it for a while before they said to the emperor: "Father, if you can, the sons hope that you can get better, be able to personally control the government, and then teach me and the three emperor brothers." ”"Compared with the health of the prince, the sons care more about the health of the father, if the father is healthy and can be healthy, it is the best thing; But if the father really wants to establish a prince, the father asks the son if he wants to be the prince, and the son is not afraid to tell the father, the son wants to seek the well-being of the world, and the son wants to open up a prosperous era of Great Qi. ”The ten princes met the emperor's inquiring and scrutinizing gaze, and his eyes were clear and firm and told the emperor his true thoughts, and he spoke bluntly and did not hide anything at all.After listening to the words of the Ten Princes, the emperor just looked at the Ten Princes and did not speak for a long time.The Ten Princes watched the emperor speak for so long, and when the emperor was angry with what he said, he bowed his head and complained to the emperor: "Father and emperor forgive sins, sons and ministers should not have this idea." ”"Except for your eldest brother, there is no prince under my knees who does not want to be the crown prince, and there is nothing wrong with this, but what you just said, I can understand it very well."
The emperor looked at the ten princes, his eyes were gentle, not the slightest seriousness and sharpness on weekdays, but like an ordinary father, chatting with his son.The emperor is not wrong in what he said, but it is too direct, and among these princes, which one of them does not want to be the prince.People are all climbing up for power, and they have a bit of innocence."
Yang'er, I ask you, if I want to make your third emperor brother the crown prince, will you blame me, but will you assist your third emperor brother?"
The emperor asked again.There was a man standing outside the hall, and when he heard the emperor's words, he couldn't help but smile on his face."
The sons naturally don't blame the father, if the father really wants to make the three emperor brothers the crown prince, as long as the three emperor brothers are diligent and love the people, the sons will definitely assist the three emperor brothers wholeheartedly."
The Ten Princes replied very sincerely, and there was no lie, and the emperor saw sincerity in the eyes of the Ten Princes and saw the heart of a child.The emperor was just about to say something, but he heard the ten princes say: "But Erchen thinks that the third emperor brother is indeed resourceful, and he is also both civil and military, but the third emperor brother is not right-minded, I am afraid that he will not put the people of the world first." ”When the people outside the hall heard this, their faces changed on the spot, and they were about to stretch out their hands and push the door in, this ten princes dared to say that they were not behind their backs!
The person standing outside the hall was the third prince, who came to see the emperor today, and happened to hear the emperor and the tenth prince talking, so he wanted to hear what the two were talking about.As soon as his hand was raised and touched the door, the third prince heard the emperor's voice, so he paused in his hand.In the palace, the emperor said: "Yang'er, what you said is what I wanted." ”"Yu'er has been smart since she was a child, and she knows how to please people's hearts, but Yu'er is blinded by power, and she is bent on pleasing me, just to let me set him up as the prince, which is different from Yu'er, you have a pure heart, and everything you think about is the people.""
However, as a monarch, you should put the people of the world first, so I think you are more suitable to be the crown prince than your third emperor brother."
When the three princes outside the hall heard the emperor's words, their hearts were suddenly stunned, their pupils dilated instantly, and they didn't know how to react when they stood outside the hall, so they stood fixedly.The emperor stretched out his hand and took the hand of the tenth prince: "Yang'er, I entrust this world to you, don't live up to my expectations." ”"Father, the emperor......"
The emperor patted the hand of the tenth prince.The emperor thought about the establishment of the crown prince for a long time, the third prince was as good as the tenth prince, and he really didn't know who to choose.But if it is judged by virtue, the ten princes are more suitable than the three princes.Over the years, the three princes and the ten princes have been fighting openly and secretly against the emperor, although the two often have disputes, but the ten princes have never done anything in private, and as far as the emperor knows, the three princes are different."
I have already thought about it, you are more suitable than your third emperor brother, but you have to promise me one thing, when I ascend to heaven and succeed you to the throne, as long as Yu'er has no rebellious heart, you must treat him well."
The emperor told the ten princes again.The emperor is a clear-eyed person, and he knows very well the temperament of the ten princes and the three princes, especially the three princes, who are extremely ambitious.I don't know what extreme things the three princes will do if they set up the ten princes as the crown princes.The Ten Princes immediately responded: "Father, rest assured, the third emperor brother will always be the royal brother of the son." ”"I know your character."
The emperor just said so."
Yang'er, I will issue a decree tomorrow to canonize you as the crown prince, and you should go back and prepare well."
The emperor said to the ten princes again.The Ten Princes replied respectfully, "Yes, Father." ”"Well, step aside."
The three princes outside the hall had blue tendons on their foreheads, if they didn't still have a trace of reason, the three princes were afraid that they had already broken into the door, and went to question the emperor, why did they do this, why did they make the ten princes the crown prince, not themselves.In terms of intelligence and strategy, he is not as good as him Qi Yang, why did he choose Qi Yang in the end!
The third prince was furious, but he knew that the tenth prince was about to come out of the door in front of him, and he couldn't stay for a long time, otherwise he couldn't tell clearly, and he would only cause unnecessary trouble for himself.After pondering for a few seconds, the third prince raised his feet and left, turning to the pillar on the side to hide, if the ten princes came out and left directly, they would definitely not be able to see themselves.After a while, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and the ten princes walked out from inside, and the ten princes sent by the father-in-law came out, followed the ten princes, and whispered: "The slave congratulates the ten princes first." ”()
