The Public Office's President, Li Yunfeng, was pulled out by Xuanyuan Mingcheng to criticize him. He staggered out, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed violently. This subject is guilty! This subject is guilty! "Your majesty, please punish me!"

Xuanyuan Mingcheng stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and asked: "There's no need to punish me. We will give you another chance. I hope that Li Aiqing can give us a satisfactory answer after half a month. "

"This subject thanks Your Majesty for his grace. This subject will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." Li Yunfeng expressed his gratitude. After stroking his official's hat, he stood up and returned to the center of the line.

"The reason why the matter of buying officials was discovered was all thanks to Chen Er. Earlier, Chen Er requested for the orders to go to Nanping to treat the water calamity and settle the matter with Nanping pretty and beautiful. We intend to hold a celebratory feast for Chen Er in a few days, I wonder how everyone would like it? " Xuanyuan Mingcheng said.

The Left Prime Minister Zhangsun Xiuming held onto the jade tablet and stood out, bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but this subject suggests that the celebration feast should not be held as soon as possible. The Nanping's matter has just ended, and the citizens of the Nanping have not yet resolved the issue of hunger.

Right Prime Minister Ye Wenfu also stood out from the right side and approved of the Left Prime Minister's suggestion. "This subject thinks that Prime Minister Zuo is right, now is the time to exhaust the National Treasury, it is not wise to waste money on people, I believe Prince Chen would agree to it."

The Minister of the Left looked at him in surprise. He felt that the sun had risen in the west. The normally unfavorable Right Prime Minister was actually speaking up for him today. It was truly a rare sight to behold.

Xuanyuan Chen's expression remained indifferent as he said: "Royal father, this son believes that the two prime ministers' words are very reasonable. Everything should be done with the commoners as the priority."

"This subject believes that the Prince Chen is wise, and that the commoners shall prevail."

Xuanyuan Jing glanced at the indifferent Xuanyuan Chen, and felt that this Xuanyuan Chen was getting more and more troublesome to deal with.

Xuanyuan Mingcheng laughed out loud, his laughter was filled with wrinkles, but it did not change his attitude of an emperor, "It seems like all my beloved officials have the hearts of the common people, with the common people as the first, I am very pleased." As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic, "Right Premier, I thought about what you said earlier about establishing the crown prince and felt that it wasn't without reason. I feel very tired these days. I really need to set up the crown prince to help me deal with the matters of the court and government. May I know what kind of good candidate you all have for me? "

Although Xuanyuan Mingcheng had many princes, other than the Prince Chen, there were no other candidates.

Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Hao coveted pleasure and wasn't someone who had great achievements. Thirteenth Prince was young, and he was currently learning from his teeth. Fifteenth Prince was still in his infancy.

Although the Prince Chen had been the Demon King of Confusion in the past few years that was famous throughout the capital, in recent years, he had become more reserved, becoming more and more unfathomable. As for the King Jing being disrespectful to him, who knew if he was ambitious or not, he might just be hiding his true intentions deeply. If that was really the case, then the King Jing was someone special.

In fact, the most unfortunate thing was that Crown Prince Xuanyuan Rui had learnt the arts of an emperor since young. He had been gentle and courteous, and had always been kind when doing things, but unfortunately, he had died young.

The civil and military officials had their own ways of weighing the pros and cons, but none of them wanted to be the first to step forward.

Who knew what the emperor's purpose was? Since ancient times, he accompanied a monarch like a tiger. The monarch's heart was hard to fathom.

Xuanyuan Jing saw that these officials were usually sharp-tongued, but when it came to critical moments, they were all like turtles hiding their heads. He laughed sarcastically, stood out and said: "Reporting to royal father, this son thinks that third brother is the best candidate for the crown prince."

"Oh?"

"Third brother was famous throughout the years in the Mo Bei, and he was the famous War God King. Not to mention that his third brother was extraordinarily handsome, well-read, and intelligent. He was highly praised by the Imperial Tutor. Now that he had solved the problem of the Nanping, he was even more so the God of Heaven King in the hearts of the commoners. The Crown Prince's position must be taken by Third Brother. "

On the surface, he was just praising Xuanyuan Chen, but in reality, he was saying that Xuanyuan Chen's prestige was too high, one day he would definitely surpass the emperor.

Xuanyuan Chen saw through Xuanyuan Jing's motive, but did not reveal it. He only raised his eyebrows, stood out and openly admitted it, "Thanks to Second Brother's praise, this duke is indeed as brave and mighty as Second Brother has described. It seems like Second Brother is unintentional as the crown prince, and This King has lost another capable opponent. "

Xuanyuan Jing's expression almost changed when he heard Xuanyuan Chen's words, he said "Third Brother's words are too harsh." However, he was still thinking about how he should deal with Xuanyuan Chen the next time.

Xuanyuan Chen's eloquence was increasing. Originally, he wanted to trap Xuanyuan Chen, but to think that he would be tricked by Xuanyuan Chen instead.

Right Prime Minister Ye Wenfu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, we should not be too hasty about setting up the crown prince. The princes are all talented and have elegant personalities, each one of them is a good candidate for the crown prince.

"What Ye Aiqing said is right. We only mentioned it today. As for the title of Crown Prince, which prince is qualified? We still need to test it a lot." Xuanyuan Mingcheng laughed.

"The Emperor is wise." Left Prime Minister Zhangsun Xiuming said.

"The Emperor is wise." A group of civil and military officials shouted at the same time. It was quite a spectacular sight.

"I am a little tired, let's withdraw from the court today." With that, Xuanyuan Mingcheng left the throne room from the side.

"This subject and others respectfully send you off, your majesty." The officials shouted in unison.

The officials slowly walked out of the throne room one by one. On the way, Xuanyuan Jing and Xuanyuan Chen bumped into each other outside the throne room.

Xuanyuan Jing gave Xuanyuan Chen a meaningful look, then flicked his sleeves and left.

But today, when he saw his royal father's face pale and his complexion pale, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

By the time he returned to the Prince Chen's Mansion, Xie Qingrong was already waiting for him in the hall.

The current Xie Qingrong was dressed in a purple cheongsam, with a thin layer of muslin covering her shoulders. Her long hair was tied up in a fairy bun, and when paired with her clothes, she looked a bit like a fairy.

She had vermilion lips, curved almond eyes, skin as white as jade, and a beautiful appearance.

Before lunch, Xuanyuan Chen ordered some servants to get a basin of hot water and put Xie Qingrong's hand in it. He carefully washed her hands, and after that, used a silk handkerchief to wipe them clean one by one, not letting go of even the gaps between his fingers.

After washing his hands, he began to eat.

Hearing that, Xie Qingrong raised her head, and was surprised for a moment, "What happened?"
