Chapter 391 A Stronger Enemy

But compared with the court officials, the feelings of the princes were extremely difficult to describe.

Especially the older ones, they could hardly control the expressions on their faces.

This is different from what they imagined!!

No, it should be said that this is very different from what they imagined!! Normal people would think so. A farmhand or a merchant, no matter how outstanding he is, how outstanding can he be? The highest official he has ever seen in his life is probably a county magistrate, oh, and at most a provincial governor... In short, he has no experience. He is not trembling with fear when he comes to the Golden Palace. He is considered very good if he can hold on and not make mistakes.

So they had planned it out long ago, maybe they only needed to give them a little favor and be a little more friendly to win them over, not only to make their father happy, but also to get a huge helper like Xiao Tai!! But the images that appeared in their minds were all of the housekeepers and the like, shrewd and flattering, or simple and honest. They never thought that there would be a... calm and gentle version of Xiao Tai!!

His momentum is not even weaker than Xiao Tai's!! And his son...

I won’t talk about the younger brother. Big Brother Tang is tall and majestic, with an imposing manner. Second Brother Tang is also gentle and handsome. I heard that he is also the disciple of Yuan Xiang, the Little Third Yuan! ! The key is that one of them is seventeen and the other is fifteen...

Haha, the fifth prince is seventeen, and the sixth prince is fifteen! ! Regardless of age or anything else, regardless of whether they are civil or military, they have no advantage at all! ! Especially since they are also taking advantage of their father's guilt! !

For a moment, several people were almost in despair.

In fact, Tang Qingshan's return to the court as the crown prince did not mean that Emperor Mingpei wanted Tang Qingshan to inherit the throne.

After all, Tang Qingshan was born in the common people and had not learned any principles of governing a country. He was nearly forty years old, so it would be difficult for him to learn it on the spot.

But first of all, this is an opportunity.

As the eldest son of the royal family, the emperor will not deprive you of the "right" to inherit the throne from the very beginning.

As long as you work hard enough, nothing is impossible.

And most importantly, although Tang Qingshan is the crown prince, he is completely different from the previous crown princes. So in the future, even if he fails to ascend the throne one day, his younger brothers who succeed him will not be too wary of him. They can use him to show their brotherly love and respect to each other. He is truly a man who can attack when he advances and defend when he retreats.

Of course, the most practical benefit of doing this is: If you don't want him to be the crown prince, then it's not too much for me to give him a prince title, right? It's not too much to give him a little more of this or that, right?

Sometimes the emperor and his subjects also need to seesaw, isn't this a ready-made bargaining chip? Most of these princes can't think of this.

They only knew that the fake prince had fallen, the third prince had fallen, but a stronger enemy had returned...

This directly led to their expressions being rather unnatural when they greeted Tang Qingshan.

Emperor Mingpei saw this and felt a little frustrated.

His son is an old farmer in the countryside. He has taught his sons so well. However, he controls the world. There are so many people who can be teachers. But his sons... Oh, none of them are good enough! They are so rude about such a small matter! The princes and grandchildren of the emperor greeted each other, and the court officials greeted each other. After all the etiquette, nearly two hours had passed. Four hours! !

Xinbao was almost exhausted. He was like a confused little fat bird, and his reactions were almost slow.

This fully verifies a truth. In the same amount of time, standing and maintaining posture is much more tiring than walking... Besides, she didn't walk that long! Whenever she walked for half an hour, she would at least get two more candies? Want to act coquettishly with her wife? Want a hug? Emperor Mingpei would glance at her from time to time, as would her parents and brother. Even the court officials couldn't help but look at this little kid from time to time.

But this is what Brother Yuan said. At this time, we must abide by the rules. We can't hug even if we feel distressed. We can only hold on... Who said that their family situation is special? After the ceremony, the decree was issued.

The imperial edict reiterated the matter of the true and false crown prince, and welcomed the eldest prince back to the East Palace, still respecting him as the crown prince.

Emperor Mingpei thought that the name Qingshan was too clever but not well-written, so he did not change it and only gave him the courtesy name Jiwang, that is, Yan Qingshan, with the courtesy name Jiwang.

It was at this time that several court officials thought of one thing almost at the same time.

Tang Qingshan, his name is "Qingshan", and the names of several princes, for example, the fake prince is named Yan Youya, the second prince is named Yan Youshan, and the third prince is named Yan Yousong, in short, it's like that.

What can I say? It’s all because of the pressure from the mountain.

It really makes people want to shout again, there is a will of heaven in the dark! ! In addition, the names of the children were not changed. After all, Yan Qingshan was not named according to the Tang family's order.

The emperor's eldest grandson, Yan Shifan, was given the courtesy name Zhiwei.

This word comes from the Analects of Confucius, "Zhi Gan Ge Yi Wei She Ji", which literally means to take up arms to defend the country. Because Emperor Mingpei had a talk with Yan Shifan yesterday and he still wanted to return to the barracks, he simply gave him this word.

After the decree was issued, another scroll of imperial edict was taken out.

The eldest daughter of the emperor, Yan Shihuan... Yes, although Xinbao is only four years old, she is the only daughter among the royal grandchildren, so she is the eldest daughter of the emperor.

The eldest daughter of the emperor, Yan Shihuan, was named Princess Zhenguo and given the title Fuzhen.

All of a sudden, all the court officials could no longer kneel.

They knew that the emperor wanted to make compensation, and had no objection to any title he proposed.

But even if you confer the title of Imperial Princess, it is a matter of the harem, and the court officials will not have any objections. But what does it mean to be a garrison princess? Garrison means to keep the country stable. The garrison princess has the right to participate in politics, can attend court, can submit memorials without the approval of the prime minister and the cabinet, and can even supervise the country when the emperor is not around... Conferring the title on a four-year-old child? It's too much anyway.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Everyone was kneeling originally, and immediately they all crawled forward on their knees, saying in unison that it was not possible.

Emperor Mingpei ignored him and the official continued reading the imperial edict. The eunuch next to him signaled Xinbao to come forward to receive the edict.

The imperial edict was a long and elaborate classical Chinese text. Xinbao was concentrating on kneeling properly and had no idea what it said. He could only stand up with the help of the eunuchs, and took it, holding it in his chubby hands.

Emperor Mingpei then said, "Yuanqing, tell them whether my ennoblement was right or not?"

Prime Minister Yuan stood up, bowed, and after a moment's hesitation, he said to them, "Everyone, although the little princess is young, she is a genius and blessed with good fortune. I dare to guarantee with my life that she is worthy of the title of Princess Guardian of the Nation! Just wait and see!"

Ministers: “…”

It’s not that they don’t believe Yuan Xiang, but no matter how you look at it, he is just a silly little kid!!

Someone asked, "I wonder how the little princess became so gifted?"

Xiao Tai said: "Why, do I have to recite a poem for you on the spot?"

The man said, "That's fine."

Xiao Tai said: "Good for you, old man Yue, you have such a big face!"

The man said, "Your Majesty, please don't be unreasonable!"

There was a quarrel, a quarrel... Xinbao blinked his eyes in fear, and the little wilted ball forced himself to be more alert, looking at Emperor Mingpei on the throne.

Emperor Mingpei signaled Yuan Xiang to speak.

Yuan Xiang said, "Everyone, please be patient. I just want to tell you that the antidote to the Heart-Splitting Gu was made by the little princess."

The man's expression suddenly changed, and then he said: "Even if you are proficient in medicine, it has nothing to do with governing a country."

"Master Yue, what you said is wrong." One person said, "Any skill, if it reaches a very high level, is related to the country. Lu Ban was just a craftsman, but his skills were passed down for hundreds of generations; Bai Gui was a businessman, but he became the ancestor of business..."
