There are such coincidences in the world.

He is lucky.

The "Emperor" put aside his worries because Eunuch Hai fell ill.

Without someone who is most familiar with the emperor around him, it is more convenient for him to get things done.

Cao Mengxing returned to Prince Mo's Mansion and found his father, and they discussed the matter until very late.

The next day, Cao Mengxing attended the morning court as usual, but he did not bring up the issue of establishing a crown prince today. Instead, after the court session, he quietly visited several officials and noble families who had good relations with the Prince Mo's Palace.

Of course, his actions were heard by the prince as soon as possible.

And strictly monitor his actions.

Then they will discuss with the emperor how to proceed with their actions.

August 13th.

The prince and Shangguan Ziqi got up early in the morning to attend the morning court.

Everything is going on as usual.

Just as the daily affairs had almost been discussed and the chief eunuch was about to call for the end of the court session, Cao Mengxing suddenly stepped out and took two steps forward.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

"What's the matter?" The "Emperor" leaned forward, looking very interested.

He also portrayed the emperor's previous appearance very well.

The prince narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

This fake emperor hired many assassins before taking any action, and he knew every word and action of the emperor thoroughly, which shows how capable he is.

The people raised by Aunt Wang and her son should not be underestimated.

If the emperor hadn't used himself as bait, it would have been really hard to catch them all.

"Your Majesty, what I want to say concerns the country and country of Wei. I hope Your Majesty can forgive my reckless words after hearing them." Cao Mengxing deliberately made it clear that he might anger the emperor, and only dared to speak after getting the emperor's guarantee.

Of course he did it for the court officials to see.

"Since this is a matter concerning the life and death of the Wei Dynasty, I will forgive you. If you speak well, I will remember you." The "Emperor" is easy to talk to.

“Your Majesty, now that Great Wei has resolved the threat of Canglan, Great Wei will surely become a prosperous country and a strong people in the future.

Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, each generation of emperors has designated their successors early on. The inheritance of our royal Cao family is of great importance.

Today, all the princes have grown up, and many of them are outstanding in ability.

Your Majesty, the crown prince position has been vacant for so many years, it is time to decide on an heir. "

After Cao Mengxing finished speaking, he knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground with his hands forward.

She looked as if she was afraid of the emperor's anger, and her body was trembling slightly.

But to everyone's surprise, the emperor did not lose his temper. Instead, he glanced at Cao Mengxing on the ground and then looked at the ministers.

After a long while, a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what Prince Mo said is very true."

It was Cao Mengxing’s father-in-law.

Then another minister stood up.

"I second the motion."

"I second the motion."

Next, all the ministers supported Cao Mengxing’s proposal, regardless of which faction they belonged to.

Even Prime Minister Zhao stood up and seconded the motion.

It is indeed time to appoint a crown prince.

"Prince Xing, please stand up. Since it was you who proposed it, who do you think should be appointed as the crown prince?" The "Emperor" went with the flow.

Cao Mengxing stood up only after he saw that the emperor was no longer angry.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Third Prince is a man of both talent and virtue, filial and respectful, capable and brave, and can shoulder the responsibility of ruling the Wei Kingdom."

Cao Mengxing praised the third prince as extremely outstanding.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent.

But after a few moments, the court officials began to discuss.

Some people say that the eldest prince is more suitable to be the crown prince, while others say that the third prince has performed well recently and is worthy of the important task.

Some people also said that if the Seventh Prince was trained well, he would be able to take on the responsibilities of the Crown Prince in the future.

Of course, some people also say that the eldest prince’s face is damaged, which is his biggest shortcoming.

Naturally, some people say that the emperor is in good health now and can fully train the eldest grandson. The eldest prince is the empress's son and the real legitimate son. His son is the emperor's legitimate grandson.

When everyone had finished discussing, the "Emperor" raised his hand to calm them down.

“My dear ministers, Prince Xing is right.

I will be fifty in two years, and it is time to decide on the candidate for the crown prince.

A few days ago, I had high hopes for the eldest prince, but he injured his legs and face in order to save me.

Although Princess Zhenguo had cured him, she said that the eldest prince's face could never be restored to its original state.

Since ancient times, there has never been an emperor with a disfigured face.

As for my third son, Cao Jin, who has won my heart in recent years, is filial and respectful, friendly to his brothers and respectful to his younger brothers, has outstanding abilities and is capable of taking on great responsibilities.

After much deliberation, I have decided to appoint the third prince Cao Jinshen as the crown prince."

“The Emperor” made the final decision.

"Your Majesty is wise." After hearing what the emperor said, Cao Mengxing immediately agreed.

Then several other court officials echoed the sentiment.

The others all looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to stand up and express their opinions.

Everyone is waiting for someone to take the lead.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate." An abrupt voice sounded in the eerie atmosphere.

It’s Prince Rong.

"Prince Rong, what's wrong?" The "Emperor"'s voice turned cold and his eyes were stern.

He wanted to overwhelm Prince Rong with his momentum.

"The Third Prince is not worthy of his position. Since ancient times, the eldest son is the heir apparent. Unless the eldest son is truly hopeless and is popular, a concubine will be appointed as the heir.

The eldest prince has been taught by you since he was young, so it goes without saying that he is filial.

He had long been a member of the imperial court, handled matters properly, and had never made any mistakes.

He nearly lost his life to save you.

Regardless of all these, he still went into the war with the army, led the army alone, and captured two cities in Canglan.

The third prince has none of these honors.

Besides, the eldest grandson is healthy and intelligent, and is the best choice for the next generation of the royal family."

The prince knows everything about it.

"I am also saddened by the eldest son, but his face has been damaged. In all dynasties, which emperor has such a face?"

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has only been receiving treatment for over a month. He will probably be almost fully recovered in another half a decade.

Besides, a man relies not on his looks but on his abilities.

Just as a man stands tall and proud, it is not his height that counts, but his wisdom that counts. "

"Prince Rong, I am not without other sons. How can I let the world laugh at me? I have made up my mind. I will make the third prince the crown prince." The "Emperor" made the decision forcefully, and no objection was allowed.

“Your Majesty, don’t forget what our ancestors said. If the emperor is not worthy of the throne, my Rong Palace has the right to unite with the ministers and establish a new master. If you insist on going your own way, don’t blame me for being disrespectful.” The prince also had a cold face and refused to give in.

"Shangguan Hongyi, who gave you the courage to speak to me like this? Don't take my tolerance for granted."

"Your Majesty, our Rong Palace is only loyal to the Great Wei. If you cannot elect a new ruler, our Rong Palace does not mind issuing the late emperor's will and appointing a new ruler right now."

"You, you....., are you going to rebel?"

"Your Majesty, can we discuss this matter later?" When Prime Minister Zhao saw the two of them starting to quarrel in front of so many court officials in the palace, he immediately came out to smooth things over.

But Prince Rong didn't buy Prime Minister Zhao's account at all.

He took two more steps forward, staring at the "Emperor" with angry eyes.

The momentum startled the "Emperor" and he took a step back unconsciously.

"Rebellion? I am the protector of the people of Wei. I will not rebel, but I will kill the king."

As the prince finished speaking, he jumped up and rushed straight towards the "Emperor" above him.

The prince's action shocked all the court officials.

What? The prince wants to kill the king? This is outrageous.

However, what the court officials did not expect was that the emperor actually dodged the prince's move that was intended to take his life.

Moreover, the two of them started fighting in the court meeting hall.

This is the first time in history that such an incredible thing has happened.
