Chapter 1134 Any objections?
The expected thunderous wrath did not appear. Emperor Yanling just looked at Li Chuyi silently without saying a word, his expression was a bit stern but not very angry. This made the ministers a little confused, but they had just become excited. The princes and princesses seemed to have a basin of cold water on their heads, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.
Silently, Emperor Yanling's face relaxed, and a heartfelt smile flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The cold water above their heads suddenly dropped, and the hearts of the princes and princesses were as cold as ice.
Li Chuyi had long known that the result would be like this, so his eyes never flinched from the beginning to the end. The only thing that dissatisfied him was that it was too tiring to raise his neck. The old prince was afraid that people would not see how high he was sitting, so his neck almost broke when he stood under the throne.
As if seeing his intention, Emperor Yanling waved to him with a smile on his face.
"Child, come up."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expression changed.
There is no room for others to be around the dragon chair. In the entire Dayan, only Mu Fangli and three other people have such qualifications. Li Chuyi was recruited by Emperor Yanling as soon as he arrived. Was this a change of direction to convey to them the ownership of the crown prince's position?
And Li Chuyi once again showed his informality, or rather rudeness. Hearing this, he didn't move at all, even as the little monkey behind him drove him crazy. His eyes gradually filled with sarcasm, and his usual tired smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What are you doing? You want me to have a reunion between father and son and cry together? Pull him down. You can't afford to throw this person away, but I can't afford to throw him away!"
Emperor Yanling laughed dumbly, pointed his hand at Li Chuyi and looked at Mu Fangli.
"Master Tian, this child is so naughty."
The words were meant to please, but Mu Fangli didn't appreciate it at all. He snorted with a smile, and then looked at Li Chuyi with a proud face: "I think it's good!"
Poof.
Li Chuyi laughed out loud and secretly raised his eyebrows at Mu Fangli.
Old Man Mu was indeed Old Man Mu. He dared not give Emperor Yanling face in front of so many people. Li Chuyi was very happy to see this.
Emperor Yanling didn't worry, he just smiled and dismissed it. He took a deep look at the little fat man, and then looked at the ministers in the palace. His slightly warm smile was once again full of majesty.
"Today, I have sent word to you all for two things. One is my eldest prince, Li Chuyi. This child was separated from me when he was young. He has just come back in recent days. Some of you may not know him yet. So I decided to let him meet you today to avoid misunderstandings when we meet in the future."
"I will pay my respects to His Highness the First Prince!"
Who could not understand the implication of Emperor Yanling? The civil and military officials of the court immediately knelt on the ground. The princes and princesses in the front row also leaned forward to salute, while King Yuwen Taihao of Zhenxi nodded lightly.
He was calm and composed, but the little fat man had never seen such a battle before, and he was a little dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't know whether to shout "get back down" as in the play, or just let it go.
Fortunately, Emperor Yanling didn't make things difficult for him. After the ceremony, he said quietly: "Everyone, get up."
Seeing the overwhelming crowd standing up again, the little fat man secretly wiped his cold sweat away. God calculated, but he never expected that he would be embarrassed in a place like this.
After a pause, Emperor Yanling continued: "As for the second thing, some of you must have guessed it. That's right, it's the crown prince's position!"
Everyone's hearts were shaken, and Emperor Yanling sat up straighter, with a hint of excitement on his majestic face.
"I know that all the beloved princes are very curious as to why I have never established a prince, and even the position of eldest prince has never been claimed. I can tell you today that it is not that my other princes are not good, but that I have been waiting for someone. That person is my royal son Li Chuyi! This child had a hard life. He was separated from me not long after he was born. There has been no news over the years. Every time I think about how much suffering he will suffer, my heart breaks. It hurts like a knife! Some people told me that he is dead and it is impossible to find him, but I don't believe it! He is my son, my bloodline, and the most orthodox prince of the Dayan Dynasty. He cannot die in vain! I have always believed that he is still alive!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the princes and princesses became ugly. The words "most orthodox" hammered into their hearts, making them extremely uncomfortable.
Emperor Yanling didn't look at them, and didn't care about them at all. He continued to speak loudly with a slightly excited and majestic voice: "Sure enough, my insistence is correct. He is still alive, and he is still standing here today! My dear friends, can you Imagine how excited I was when I learned that he was really alive?"
Having said this, Emperor Yanling's face darkened and he looked at Li Chuyi apologetically.
"I know that there have been a lot of rumors outside. This child believed it when he heard it, so he has many misunderstandings about me. I know all this, but I don't blame him. It's because of my negligence that he is living outside, because of my incompetence. It’s only now that he returned home. This child is right. I haven’t fulfilled any of my responsibilities as a father over the years. It’s right for him to complain about me. It’s natural, not just for me, but for the entire Dayan. I owe him, especially the Supervision Department! Haha, who would have thought that the Supervision Department that I am so proud of could be so incompetent and have made no achievements for so many years. In the end, I let this kid get it back on his own. Mr. Wen Guo, you should What a crime!”
Mr. Wen immediately knelt down and said in a serious tone: "I know that I am guilty and it is because of my incompetence. I am willing to accept any punishment. Please forgive me, my emperor!"
Li Chuyi watched with cold eyes, and when he saw this, he had to give his cheap emperor a thumbs up.
Those who hold power are dirty, and those who are emperors are indeed the dirtiest. The three truths and two hypotheses were told in a big way, and even the little fat man was a little touched when he personally admitted his mistakes as an emperor. In the end, he casually dumped the blame on the Supervision Department. The old emperor's ability to change things is still there. It is truly the pinnacle of excellence, and can be called "Tao follows nature."
Of course Li Chuyi knew the relationship between Mr. Wen and Emperor Yanling. It would be strange if the old emperor could really punish him. The old guy was there to smooth things over for Emperor Yanling. The old emperor would not kill anyone he wanted to kill!
Besides, what if he was really convicted of a serious crime? Close where? The Dark Prison of the Inspectorate?
Please, the entire Supervision Department is his own territory, and the black jail is like his backyard. When he goes in, it's not called jail, it's called vacation!
As expected, Emperor Yanling just said that, gave him a few "severe reprimands" without any pain, and asked Mr. Wen to kneel aside and he was done with it.
Then, Emperor Yanling looked over again with that kind of true-feeling eyes.
"The child suffered a lot, but fortunately he finally came back safely. The things I left for him were not in vain. The position of eldest prince is the first compensation I gave him!"
"I know that many people have objections to suddenly making him the eldest prince. But I don't care, because this is what he deserves! He is my first son. If he can accept my care from an early age, he will now He is no worse than any other prince or princess! So don’t think that I am confused or impulsive. You should call him Emperor Brother because of the situation. Do you understand?”
"My son understands!"
Cold eyes glanced at the other children, and the princes and princesses hurriedly bowed in response, but at the same time, a doubt they had long had emerged in their hearts.
I had heard before that Li Chuyi was the son of Emperor Yanling and the late Yinghou Mu Xueling, and today it was confirmed by Emperor Yanling himself, which means that Li Chuyi's lifespan is at least five hundred years old, and his appearance is impressive. A young man of eighteen or nineteen with a clear complexion, why doesn't he look old at all?
Li Chuyi didn't know what they were thinking, and he wouldn't tell them if he knew it. If they knew the truth, they would be frightened to death on the spot or stunned.
When the princes and princesses stood up, Emperor Yanling took a long breath.
"Today, on the first day of the lunar month, I came to the palace to see me. I simply summoned all my beloved ministers to come over and took this opportunity to discuss the matter of the prince. A country cannot live without a king for a day. Even monks like us can't say whether there will be disaster or blessing. , so the choice of the prince is extremely important, and it cannot be chosen by anyone who is not a peerless figure. Since Chu Yi is already the eldest prince, he has the qualifications to compete for the heir, and as far as I know, he defeated him at the Wolong Conference held in Taixu Palace. The heroes are the only one on the peerless list! Of course, Taixu Palace is a traitor, and the people who collude with him are all barbarians and monsters. But my son can make them all bow their heads and admit that he is a peerless genius. This is enough proof. His ability. Therefore, I am interested in him and want to make him the Prince of Dayan. I wonder if you have any objections?"
There was silence in the palace.
It’s not acquiescence, it’s just that I don’t know how to answer.
Before coming, everyone felt that Emperor Yanling would bring up this long-standing topic today, but no one expected that he would be so direct.
They say they are asking for their opinions, but this is not asking them. This is simply a notification!
Li Chuyi didn't expect it to be so soon. He thought he came here today just to meet and chat, and then find an opportunity to discuss the terms in private before talking about the prince's affairs. Good thing now, the old emperor had lifted Hai Wufeng up before he even had a word about Hai Wufeng. The little fat man suddenly didn’t know what to do. He wanted to say no but felt inappropriate, so he could only look at Mu Fangli madly. Wink.
In the end, he almost died of anger. Mu Fangli agreed with Emperor Yanling's opinion a hundred times. When he saw Li Chuyi winking at him, he thought he was happy, so he blinked with a smile on his face. The little fat man wanted to die.
Helpless, he could only turn his head and look at Yuwen Taihao.
When he looked back, he saw that Yuwen Taihao's eyes were a little wandering, as if he didn't expect his imperial brother to be so direct, and he was a little at a loss.
Seeing Li Chuyi looking at him, he calmed down and gently shook his head towards Li Chuyi, signaling him to calm down.
There was no other way to do this. Emperor Yanling said it himself. Let's not talk about what would happen to him if Li Chuyi rejected him. Hai Wufeng's way of survival would be completely blocked.
Seeing Yuwen Taihao's eyes, Li Chuyi was completely helpless. Even Yuwen Taihao didn't dare to speak for him, and there was absolutely no one in the hall who could help him.
Frowning, Li Chuyi thought secretly, trying to find a tactful way to reject the old emperor first. Before the conditions were agreed upon, there was no way he could just accept it.
While he was struggling, someone in the crowd took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed his hands in a salute, and then said loudly: "Father, I have something to say!"
