Once established, it cannot be easily abolished or amended.
"Prince Chen has made great military achievements, defended his country, and protected the peace of the people in the border areas for fifty years. How many people can do this? It is my humble mission to make His Royal Highness Prince Chen eligible to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince!"
"I second the motion!"
More than a dozen officials knelt down one after another and begged for orders. They were all followers of King Chen.
Seeing that something was wrong, the followers of Prince Li became anxious and began to speak up for Prince Li:
"Your Majesty, you have witnessed firsthand the dedication and hard work that Prince Li has put in over the past few months, and the people have also shown their support. He is kind and benevolent, and treats people with kindness and peace. His character is beyond doubt."
Only a benevolent king can love his people and govern this beautiful country well.
The two sides have different opinions.
"Although His Royal Highness Prince Li has a good character, his princess is arrogant and unreasonable. In order to deal with Princess Chen, she did not hesitate to play with the life of the emperor's eldest grandson. If this crazy woman becomes the Crown Princess, she will only be a disaster for the people."
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
King Li's followers were a little choked.
From the perspective of Li Wang, Li Wang is good in every way. He has a good temper, a good personality, is quick in doing things, and is efficient. He is convincing in every aspect.
But away from the princess...
Yesterday, Princess Li and Princess Chen had an argument on the street. The people saw it and they wanted to defend Princess Li, but they couldn't find any words to say.
The followers of King Chen said again:
"Princess Li will do anything to achieve her goal. You can't guarantee that His Royal Highness Prince Li will be affected by her. Your Majesty, if even His Royal Highness Prince Li has a tainted heart, can you still feel at ease if the country of Dongling is handed over to him?"
The emperor pondered with an embarrassed look on his face.
In fact, he did not want to hand over the country to Prince Li, but Prince Li gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he was forced to issue the decree.
but.
Very good!
fortunately!
Fortunately, Qin Jiaojiao deliberately picked a fight with Qin Ye and caused such a thing, giving him a reason to refuse.
He looked very embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed heavily:
"Alas... Li'er, I really value you. I can trust you to do things. No matter what I give you, you can always give me a satisfactory answer. But what happened yesterday was actually too much of a fuss. The people are talking about it non-stop."
"If I were to make you the crown prince at this juncture, I'm afraid that it would cause unrest among the people. If the people have objections, it would be difficult for you to keep your position as crown prince."
"Why don't we wait for a while, until the storm has passed, and then discuss this matter again?"
He spoke to Zong Zhengli in a negotiating tone.
On the surface, he favored King Li, negotiated with him, and spoke to him in a friendly manner.
In fact, he had already withdrawn his order without making a sound and would not issue it easily again.
Zong Zhengli knew this, even if he was dissatisfied, what could he do? How could he refuse? Apart from following the emperor's words, he had no other choice.
Originally, the order to appoint the crown prince yesterday had already been issued and was about to be sent to Prince Li’s palace.
Originally, he was only one step away from becoming the crown prince.
However, at this critical moment, Qin Jiaojiao provoked Qin Ye and even dragged the emperor's eldest grandson into the fight, causing such a scene in the street that the scandal even reached the ears of the emperor.
Everybody knows!
The position of crown prince that was about to be in his hands just flew away like that.
This eldest grandson of the emperor was born in vain!
