He stood straight, his expression solemn, and said righteously, "Your Majesty, I believe that if we want to adopt a male child from the Qu family to a childless royal family, the first choice should be the eleventh prince!"
Emperor Jingxi was stunned when he heard this. This was the first time he heard of this option.
To be honest, before this, he had never thought of giving his son away for adoption.
But after this moment of hesitation, his mind suddenly changed, and he actually felt that giving his son away for adoption might be a good idea.
Now, there is a person behind the scenes whose identity he cannot even confirm, stirring up trouble in secret. His sons meet with accidents one after another. He sees it with his own eyes and feels pain in his heart.
No matter what, they are his own flesh and blood.
If a son who has never had high hopes for him is adopted out, it can not only cut off his unrealistic hopes, but also save his life.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingxi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Among his sons, only the eleventh prince had not yet been crowned king, making him suitable for adoption, while the other sons had already been crowned kings and had titles, so they were naturally not suitable for adoption.
Just as Emperor Jingxi and the court officials were listening intently to what Censor Du said, Yan Cheng and Prince Ningchuan exchanged a few glances calmly.
King Ningchuan looked at him and asked: Your people?
Yan Cheng: No, I was also wondering if he was yours.
Prince Ningchuan: Whose servant is he? Why does it feel like he's speaking for us?
Yan Cheng: I don’t know.
Yan Cheng looked at Censor Du, whose face was red with anger, while subtly observing the subtle reactions of some court officials with the corner of his eyes.
However, he found that most people were listening intently to Censor Du's incessant narration, so much so that he could not tell who had other ideas.
Yan Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: Could this be a coincidence?
At this time, Censor Du was still speaking eloquently, expounding on the necessity of adopting the prince to the royal family, and his words were extremely sincere.
Although the government and the people did not fully understand the profound meaning of it, they all felt that it made sense.
The more Emperor Jingxi listened, the more excited he became. He had already decided to adopt the eleventh prince out, but who should he adopt him to?
Censor Du spoke until his mouth was dry, his saliva was gushing out, and even his throat was dry.
But as an imperial censor who was determined to leave his name in history and had already prepared to die for his remonstrations, how could he easily admit defeat and retreat because of this small difficulty?
He coughed a few times and started a new topic in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, I believe the eleventh prince should be adopted by the King of Qi."
King of Qi?
When Emperor Jingxi heard the name, he felt uncomfortable in his heart and a look of displeasure instantly appeared on his face.
Censor Du, however, had a good reason prepared: "I believe that compared to Prince Kang, Prince Lujiang, and Prince Beining, Prince Qi is the closest in blood to the Eleventh Prince."
"Wouldn't it be a story that will be passed down through the ages for a nephew to inherit his uncle's throne?"
Good story?
laugh!
What kind of good story is this? How could his son become the heir of King Qi, inherit the throne of King Qi, and become the next King Qi?
Absolutely impossible...
etc.
Emperor Jingxi's thoughts suddenly paused.
After careful consideration, he felt that adopting the eleventh prince to the King of Qi seemed to be a good idea.
If he adopted Little Eleven to the King of Qi, then...
After the death of the King of Qi, he would pass on his throne to his son. Those who would inherit the throne of Qi would be his descendants, not the descendants of the King of Qi.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingxi felt for the first time that Censor Du was no longer so noisy and annoying, and he actually said something useful.
He was very satisfied and said casually, "Let's discuss this matter later," and then began to talk about other political affairs.
After leaving court, he immediately rushed to Zhuixia Palace.
Considering that Yan Zhaoyi had not been in the palace for too long and had been ill for several years, she had not experienced too many things.
He first took great pains to make Concubine Yan happy, and then, after going around in circles, he carefully talked about wanting to adopt the eleventh prince to the King of Qi.
However, even though he was so cautious, Yan Zhaoyi's eyes turned red in an instant, and then crystal tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably.
The beauty shed tears, looking very pitiful and sympathetic. When Emperor Jingxi saw her, he felt heartbroken.
However, even though Concubine Yan was extremely sad and crying, she still said that he was the emperor and all his decisions were correct, and she was willing to adopt the eleventh prince to the King of Qi.
Emperor Jingxi felt that Yan Zhaoyi was so considerate and understood him very well, and he couldn't help but feel that his favor for Yan Zhaoyi over the years was not in vain.
After a tender moment, he patiently explained to Concubine Yan why the eleventh prince should be adopted by the King of Qi.
Yan Zhaoyi looked up at him with emotion: "Your Majesty has thought it through. Little Eleven will have both the throne and the fiefdom in the future. He will surely live a good life in the future."
The beauty understood his intention so well, and Emperor Jingxi felt a little proud in his heart, and immediately promised:
"After I adopt Little Eleven to the throne of King Qi, I will issue an imperial decree to expand Little Eleven's fiefdom after he inherits the throne of King Qi."
Yan Zhaoyi's face, buried in the arms of Emperor Jingxi, curled up into an imperceptible arc. She raised her head and said sourly:
"Your Majesty is so kind to Little Eleven. I'm almost jealous."
Emperor Jingxi tapped her nose lightly: "He is also your child, why are you jealous?"
