No matter which one it is, it is not a disadvantage for him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jing's eyes were fixed on him, as if to see if what he said was true or false.
Xiao Junhan felt a little nervous in his heart, but he could only remain calm on his face, looking extremely sincere.
After a while, Emperor Jing laughed loudly and said, "I am very happy to see you brothers being respectful and modest."
As soon as he said this, all the ministers agreed, "The emperor teaches his children well, which is also a blessing to the country and the country."
Emperor Jing nodded casually and said with a smile, "You guys are good at flattering others." As he said that, he changed his voice and asked, "Has the drought in Shandong been alleviated since the beginning of winter this year?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately reported back, "Back to the Emperor, the governor of Shandong reported that the drought in Shandong has been alleviated, and tens of thousands of people posted voluntarily to express their gratitude for your kindness."
Emperor Jing Longyan was delighted and said, "Well, this Lu Liang is quite good."
Seeing Emperor Jing bring the matter of establishing the crown prince so lightly, Xiao Junhan immediately winked.
Then Li Shilang picked up the previous topic again, "Your Majesty, now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is smooth. It is really the Emperor who governs the country well. But this prince's matter is related to the country-"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Emperor Jing's eyes squinting over him. With just one look, Li Shilang was instantly silenced.
Emperor Jing slowly raised a smile and said, "Ai Qing seems to be quite persistent today, but I don't think it's dusk yet. Why are you all so anxious?"
His voice was not loud, but in everyone's ears, it was like a thunderous explosion, causing all the ministers to kneel down and shout in unison, "I don't dare!"
"Humph, I dare not."
Emperor Jing stood up from the dragon chair, the eyes on the dragon robe glared angrily, showing no anger but authority.
"I consider myself still in my prime now, but you are so anxious. Could it be that you think I won't live long?"
But these words were so serious that the ministers did not dare to answer them.
Only Xiao Junxi still looked calm.
Emperor Jing slowly scanned the group of people with his eyes, paused for a while, and then said, "I really wanted to think about the good things for you, but you have disappointed me very much."
Xiao Junhan raised his head at this moment, looked directly at Emperor Jing and said, "Father, what happened today is due to my son and minister. Please don't blame other people. Please take care of the dragon body."
Hearing this, the expression on Emperor Jing's face softened a bit, and he snorted, "What do I blame you for? It's not like you jumped into this matter."
It's just that he said so, but the expression on his face clearly meant that he thought Xiao Junhan was trying to get involved.
Xiao Junhan did not dare to argue, but Emperor Jing continued, "That's all, you all get up. If you want to see me establish a prince, you just want to have peace of mind. I will give you peace of mind."
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan lowered his head and suddenly a smile flashed across his face.
Emperor Jing put his expression in his eyes and asked Xiao Junhan again, "You just said that you think King Jing is suitable to be the prince, right?"
Xiao Junhan's heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile and said, "Yes."
"I think-"
When Emperor Jing said this, he saw a flash of expectation and excitement on Xiao Junhan's face.
But Emperor Jing changed his subject slightly and continued, "Actually, I also think that Prince Jing is suitable to take charge of the East Palace."
Where is the East Palace, the prince's bedroom.
Emperor Jing's words clearly indicated his approval of Xiao Junxi.
Since the incident at the hunting ground, Xiao Junhan would naturally not foolishly think that Xiao Junxi was still the same sick man as before. Moreover, Shen Jingci already knew the identity of Dr. Wen, and Xiao Junhan also understood that Xiao Junxi's health was probably in great shape.
Now that he is well, there is no such thing as a weak body that is not suitable for being an emperor. In other words, he got rid of Xiao Junyi, but he ushered in the enemy Xiao Junxi.
Especially when Emperor Jing said these words, it set off alarm bells in Xiao Junhan's heart.
Although Xiao Junxi also knelt down and expressed her thoughts at this time, her words were nothing more than, "My father is in his prime and at the peak of his powers, so why should he consider these things?"
It sounds like a high-sounding statement, but it is called Emperor Jing Longyan's great joy.
"Okay, I was just telling a joke. Look at how nervous you are. Let's discuss this later. I know that I am old and you are also old. But establishing the crown prince is a big deal, and we must You have to be careful, I will have a good chat with you another day."
After saying this, Emperor Jing raised his hand to signal. Eunuch Lin on the side immediately understood what he was thinking and said sharply, "All the courtiers will come to court if they have something to do, and if there is nothing to do, they will leave the court!"
"Best farewell to your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live—"
All the courtiers watched Emperor Jing leave, each with their own thoughts. Those who joined King Jing were naturally happy in their hearts, but the faces of those who followed King Qi were not so good-looking.
But the two people at the center of the topic walked to the front side by side. No matter what he was thinking in his heart, his face remained unmoved.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Xiao Junxi and Xiao Junhan looked at each other, but Xiao Junxi was the first to hold her hands and said with a smile, "Brother, I will leave first and take my leave."
Xiao Junhan gritted his teeth with a half-smile, and squeezed out a sentence, "The third emperor's brother is gone. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so be careful."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Junxi knew that she could no longer hide her good health. He smiled and said, "Brother Youlao, I miss you, but they all say that surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune. I The king believes that the ancients will not deceive me."
"That's best."
The smile on Xiao Junhan's face could hardly be maintained, but he still stood there, watching Xiao Junxi's back leave.
The fire in his eyes almost wanted to burn him.
"What did you say?"
As soon as Xiao Junhan returned home, he went directly to Shen Jingci's yard and told her about the morning meeting. As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jingci's expression changed drastically.
"So, the emperor actually intends to establish King Jing?"
Xiao Junhan said with a gloomy face, "You also said that you wanted me to be a virtuous man for once, but now it's better, I'm letting others push the boat along!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Wasn't it his own words that made Emperor Jing say that in the first place
Shen Jingci also frowned. This emperor was acting too irrationally.
But she could only hold these words in her heart and could not say them out. After all, she couldn't afford to be accused of criticizing the emperor.
After thinking about it, Shen Jingci turned around to comfort Xiao Junhan and said, "It doesn't matter, didn't the emperor also say that he was just joking. Even if he really intends to establish a prince, it depends on the opinions of the ministers. Besides, most of the courtiers in this court now belong to us, and for this alone, King Jing cannot compare."
There was another reason that Shen Jingci didn't say. She only handed over less than one-tenth of the power of the Shen family, and those connections under her also helped.
Of course, she would not tell Xiao Junhan this. At least until her position is completely secure, she will not reveal her trump card, not even to Xiao Junhan.
After listening to Shen Jingci's words, Xiao Junhan's face improved a little. He sighed, hugged Shen Jingci again, and whispered, "Cier, I feel very uneasy right now. It's not easy. One person was destroyed, but another one appeared, how can this continue?"
Xiao Junhan is already a little impatient now, but Emperor Jing is right in what he said. When the emperor is at the peak of his power, he cannot tolerate the dissent of his sons. Xiao Junyi is a fool, that's why he rebelled, but he is different. Even if he can't help it, he has to endure it.
If you want to get that position above ten thousand people, you need to pay a corresponding price.
It just depends on whether he can survive it.
It was rare for Shen Jingci to see this man's fragile side, and her heart softened. She held Xiao Junhan's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be fine. I will always stand by your side to support you."
Hearing this, there was a flash of emotion in Xiao Junhan's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the voice of a maid outside.
"Your Majesty, the princess invites you to come."
Xiao Junhan asked impatiently, "Did you say anything?" He disliked Qin Wanyi more and more these days. He always followed the rules and refused to make a mistake. How could he be as transparent as Shen Jingci
It happened that this was the concubine given by Emperor Jing. Even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face for fear of being blamed by Emperor Jing.
The maid hesitated and then replied, "The princess just asked you to go over. She said there was something important that she needed to tell the prince in person."
After hearing this, Xiao Junhan said with some difficulty, "Ci'er, how about you wait for me for a while and I go first?"
Even though Shen Jingci had all kinds of reluctance in her heart, she could only act magnanimously and said, "My lord, just go ahead. The princess and sister may really have something important to do, so I will be waiting for you."
Seeing that she was so sensible, Xiao Junhan's heart favored her even more. When she wasn't paying attention, he kissed her on the cheek and said, "Then just wait, I will come back as soon as I go."
Shen Jingci might as well have stolen the scent from him, she immediately blushed and said softly, "Your Majesty—"
Her voice was deliberately flirtatious. When Xiao Junhan heard it, he felt his lower abdomen tighten. Then he swallowed, pinched her face, and said, "Wait for me."
After saying that, Xiao Junhan hurried away, but there was a bit more impatience in his steps.
When he left, the raised curtain brought in a gust of cold wind, which made Shen Jingci shiver suddenly.
Shen Jingci watched Xiao Junhan leave and slowly revealed a sneer. She didn't expect that Qin Wanyi would now learn to compete for favor. Unfortunately, no matter how smart Qin Wanyi was, she couldn't defeat her!
A family and a woman who cannot contribute to Xiao Junhan are destined to lose Xiao Junhan's heart. Even though she now carries the title of a royal concubine, when Xiao Junhan rules the world in the future, she will be the only one worthy of standing by his side!
No one else, no matter who they are, can do it!
After going to court, Emperor Jing rarely went to the Imperial Study Room, but went directly to Concubine Ye's palace.
Concubine Ye Guifei was reading a book in the palace, and the sunlight shone on her face, which made her face soft and beautiful.
Emperor Jing was in a daze for a moment, thinking he had returned to the past.
At that time, Queen Ye was waiting for him in the palace like this. There will be a small tea stove in front of her, with top-grade snow-capped mountain mist on it, and the fragrance of tea rising up to reveal her appearance. No matter how many worries people have, they will be driven away by this scene.
