Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 289 Will

   "I respectfully listen to the Holy Will."

   The five Saisukes were all kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up.

  The emperor closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "In any case, the ancestral legal system cannot be chaotic, and the court cannot be chaotic. If I go to see the late emperor, the prince will also need the help of the princes."

   Having said that, the emperor of Chengde opened his eyes to look at Zhang Qu, and asked, "Zhang Xiang, the prince has been in charge of the country for more than a month, can you use it?"

   Zhang Qu looked up at the emperor, then looked at the four colleagues on the left and right, and gritted his teeth secretly: "Go back to your majesty, the prince can now learn politics with modesty, and in time, he will definitely be in full control of the divine weapon."

   The emperor laughed: "That means it's not possible now."

   Zhang Qu lowered his head and did not answer.

   Now that the emperor is not far away, no one dares to speak ill of the prince at this time, because the prince may become the emperor one day.

The emperor of Chengde closed his eyes and said: "My eldest son has a mediocre character, and I know it in my heart, so I have not made up my mind to establish a heir for more than ten years, but now the situation is urgent, and I have no time to train a prince, so I can only establish a direct descendant. Set up a leader, in order to ensure the stability of the community."

   "Do the princes agree?"

  The five prime ministers kowtowed: "Your Majesty is holy."

  The emperor laughed at himself: "If I were Shengming, how could I be dying in a hospital bed now and barely survive."

   The five prime ministers were all trembling and did not dare to raise their heads.

   "Although the crown prince is mediocre, he is not someone who does anything wrong. After he ascends the throne, all the princes should bear in mind my sentiments and help them wholeheartedly."

   Zhang Qu and the others shook their heads secretly.

   Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, His Royal Highness is naturally honest, but if the Holy Son of Heaven is gone one day, it is unknown whether he will let these people continue to be Saisukes.

  The emperor coughed and was about to continue speaking when Huan Chu, the servant of the door, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say."

  The emperor of Chengde seemed to have seen through the mind of this Huan Xiang, hehe smiled and said: "Huan Xiang wants me to seal the other three princes out of the capital and become a vassal?"

   "Your Majesty."

Huan Chu lowered his head and said, "According to the truth, after the crown prince's position is fixed, the other three princes should leave the capital and become a vassal, but until today, the three princes have no intention of leaving the capital to become a vassal, and the people of the court and the public are popular. Floating, not stable, the old minister thought that if you want peace and tranquility in the society, you should immediately let the three princes join the vassal, so as to rectify people's hearts..."

   Having said this, Lao Xiangxiang said in a heavy tone: "...No evil thoughts!"

   A smile appeared on the face of the emperor: "Huan Xiang means that the other three sons have evil thoughts?"

   "The old minister dare not."

  Huan Chu kowtowed: "The three princes are naturally loyal, filial, and pure. I'm afraid that some people in the capital will harbor evil thoughts and coerce the three princes and do something inappropriate, which will lead to... flesh and blood."

Several prime ministers agreed with Huan Chu's words, but no one dared to say it, because if they said these words, if they spread it out, they would inevitably offend the three princes to death, and only Huan Chu was the only one. A loyal and upright person who is dedicated to the country, can speak these words calmly.

  The emperor of Chengde was silent for a while, and finally forced a smile: "Huan Xiang, I keep a few of them in Beijing because I like these four sons the most..."

  Huan Chu lowered his head and said, "If Your Majesty loves the three princes, he should immediately let them be vassal. Otherwise, there may be unknowns in the capital..."

  The emperor smiled and said: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, let them be the vassal as soon as possible. They are not bad people, and they can't make any changes if they think about it."

  Huan Chu gritted his teeth and said, "The old minister knows that His Majesty loves his son, but for the sake of the Great Jin Society..."

  The emperor of Chengde sighed: "Huan Xiang, I will not live long."

   "Huan Xiang pity my dying, so let them stay in the capital to see me off, okay?"

   The words of the emperor of Chengde are quite pitiful.

  This emperor has held the country for nearly 20 years. It can be said that he is conscientious and conscientious. The court and the public are all grateful for the kindness of the emperor. As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several prime ministers were red, and they knelt on the ground and wiped their tears.

  Huan Chu's eyes were also slightly red, but he had a straight temper. He raised his head and wanted to say something else. Zhang Qu on the side said with tears: "Huan Xiang, Your Majesty has already said this, do you want to disobey your father?"

   Several other prime ministers also persuaded: "That's right, Your Majesty's beloved son, several princes are also filial, and if they stay in the capital, nothing will happen."

   Lao Huanchu gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth in the end.

  As Zhang Qu said, the father of the king has already mentioned this for the sake of it, and if he is a minister and then refutes it, that is disobedience and unfilial piety.

  The emperor sighed: "Thank you gentlemen for your understanding."

  Huan Chu knelt on the ground and lowered his head. After a while, he suddenly muttered: "Your Majesty, please send the Imperial Army into the city."

  The emperor shook his head: "Huan Xiang, you are too careful, I am still alive and well, and none of the princes have seen any changes. Besides, there are two guards in the capital. What are you doing to transfer the forbidden army into the city?"

Lao Huanchu wanted to say something else, but Meng Jin, the servant of the door, was dragged outside the hall, Meng Jin whispered, "Mr. Huan, at this time, don't say more, wait for your majesty to finish talking, go to the Shangshutai Let’s just say it, even if there is something wrong in the capital, a few of us can lead the army to print a letter, and we can also send troops into the city, what are you worried about?”

  Huan Chu fell silent, and finally shook his head: "When I'm older, I'm a little worried."

  Meng Jin smiled bitterly and said, "You just met the Son of Heaven. If you were to change to another emperor, how could you tolerate such resistance."

  Huan Chu sighed faintly, his tone full of regret.

   "Your Majesty is only forty-five years old this year..."

   Meng Jin also sighed: "It's all destiny, okay, let's go in and be ordered by His Majesty."

  Huan Chu nodded silently, and the two returned to the emperor's bedroom and knelt on the ground.

  Huan Chu kowtowed and said: "The old minister has no status and bumped into Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

  The emperor of Chengde forced a smile: "After so many years, Huan Xiang has bumped into me many times, I know that you are also for the country, so I can't blame you."

   "The old minister is ashamed."

  The emperor coughed and continued: "My lords, I will rest assured to recover from my wounds, and everything in the court will be entrusted to the lords."

   After the emperor paused for a while, he continued: "If there is anything wrong with the prince, you can send it to me, and while I still have some time, I can teach him a lesson."

  The five prime ministers wept and said, "...The ministers will obey."

  The emperor smiled: "Okay, you all go to work, I'm going to take medicine."

   Zhang Qu lowered his head and said, "Old minister has a few words, which I need to present to Your Majesty alone."

  The emperor nodded: "Okay, let's keep that picture for a while."

  The four Zaifu bowed and exited the Changle Palace. Zhang Qucai knelt down again and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked if the Crown Prince is available. In the humble opinion of the old minister, the Crown Prince is available now, but in the future..."

  The emperor laughed: "Zhang Xiang still wants me to change the prince?"

  Zhang Qu knelt down and said with tears: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no selfish intentions, and the old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, if the prince ascends the throne, what will happen to the ministers and other officials, and what will happen to the society?"

  The emperor smiled lightly: "If he hasn't done it yet, you know that he will mess up the government."

   Zhang Qu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has always been very accurate in seeing people."

  The Emperor sighed and said, "Chen Ju."

  The big **** Chen Ju came out holding a box. The box was apricot-yellow. There was a bright-yellow copper lock on the box. There were two key holes on the copper lock.

  The emperor looked at the box and said indifferently: "This is an imperial decree left by me, and Zhang Xiang is also a witness. After I make a big trip, I will open the box, and the prince will not do anything wrong."

"This imperial decree exists in Chen Ju's place. It takes two keys to open it. I originally planned to give one to Chen Ju and one to the prince. Since Zhang Xiang said so, then the key for the prince will be handed over to Zhang. Keep it safe."

  Chen Ju stepped forward and handed a brass key to Zhang Qu.

   Zhang Qu took the key with both hands and kowtowed to the emperor.

   "For the sake of society, I have to offend Your Majesty..."

   "The old minister's death penalty..."
