Chapter 549 His Royal Highness the Crown Prince
The court officials all looked at Song Mingen with disbelief in their eyes.
Prince Xiaorong actually opposed it?
He doesn't want to be the crown prince?
Du Henian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was fortunate that he didn't want to be the one.
If he becomes the crown prince and someone tries to snatch his daughter from him, won't he be hunted down and killed?
Xiao Yanli stared at Song Mingen with an unclear expression and said calmly, "Aye, think it over carefully before you speak."
A Ye actually opposed it and didn’t want to be the emperor?
This was the first time in his life that someone dared to disobey his holy will.
She was usually too kind to him, and Aye probably didn't know that his true face was very scary.
My hands are really itching to beat someone in court for a long time!
Mu Jingbei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you heard wrongly. Prince Xiaorong said that I will receive the imperial edict."
"Aye, say it again."
Mu Jingbei winked at him hurriedly.
My dear brothers, please don't be confused. Accept the imperial decree and become the crown prince as soon as possible.
It would be great if Prince Xiaorong became the emperor in the future!
His son married a princess just like him.
Jiang Yunzhou and his son Jiang Guanchen were also very anxious.
If you disobey the order now, do you intend to rebel in the future?
Song Mingen leaned forward slightly and said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, no emperor has ever appointed his nephew as crown prince. Moreover, the little prince is intelligent and wise, and can help Your Majesty share some of the burdens. Although he is a little weak, he will get better with careful care. Your Majesty appointing me as the Crown Prince is not justified, and the people of the world will not accept it. I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order and appoint the little prince as the Crown Prince."
He dared not covet the kingdom of Dayuan.
Wouldn't it be unfair to the little prince if the emperor made him the crown prince?
If the little prince can grow up safely, marry and have children, he will naturally give birth to a healthy and intelligent crown prince for the country.
Also, if you become an emperor, you will age quickly because you have to worry about the entire Dayuan.
Xiao Yanli's face was gloomy. "I have appointed you as the Crown Prince Nephew. Anyone who dares to disobey, please stand up to me!"
None of the ministers dared to speak out, as the emperor clearly intended to make Prince Xiaorong the crown prince.
They have no reason to object.
Even if the little prince comes to the throne in the future, the emperor will still have to let Prince Rong be regent.
"Your Majesty," said Zhang Mingyuan, the Minister of Revenue, stepping forward. "Your decision to appoint your nephew as Crown Prince must have been a result of careful consideration. We, the ministers, naturally have no reason to object. After all, we all know that Prince Xiaorong is exceptionally capable... However, Prince Xiaorong is also correct. Although the little prince is frail, with careful care he will surely grow up safely, marry, and have children. He is also intelligent and can help Your Majesty share the burden. I second Your Majesty's proposal to appoint the little prince as Crown Prince."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen officials seconded the motion.
Zhang Mingyuan couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw this. These old guys actually had the same idea as him.
Their granddaughter is about the same age as his granddaughter, both six or seven years old.
The little prince will definitely choose one of them when he gets married in the future.
Once his precious granddaughter is chosen, no, she will definitely be chosen.
The Crown Prince will definitely be born to his precious granddaughter in the future.
His Zhang family will become royal relatives in the future.
If Xiao Hongye becomes the crown prince, there will be no hope.
Xiao Yanli felt relieved when he saw that more than a dozen ministers supported Yu'er to be the crown prince.
But how could he not know what they were planning?
Didn't he also hope that Yu'er would give birth to a healthy and intelligent grandson in the future?
Once Yu'er is appointed as the crown prince, her whole mind will be on giving him a grandson, which will cause him trouble and make him feel uneasy.
He is a king and a father.
He couldn't let his only weak son suffer because he was reluctant to give up the throne.
He must respect his son's wishes!
"This is a matter of great importance to the country and its people. I have carefully considered many factors before making today's decision. A crown prince who can shoulder this heavy responsibility must be both virtuous and talented, and excel in all aspects. Before Aye was found, he provided the court with a method to increase grain production, which is already showing results. This is even more true in other areas. In less than a year, Aye was able to advance from an inspector to the overall supervision of the six ministries. He has passed my test and is worthy of the title of Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty," Zhang Mingyuan said unwillingly, "The young prince has also contributed to state affairs. We cannot deprive him of his right to be crown prince just because he is weak. After all, the young prince is the legitimate crown prince."
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
"Enough!" Xiao Yanli shouted angrily, and Zhang Mingyuan and others shut up.
"My opinion is also the opinion of the little prince. Do you want me to have the little prince brought to you and explain it to you in person? Hmm?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We dare not do that."
Zhang Mingyuan and others were dumbfounded. Is the little prince stupid?
That is the throne, how can I give it to others?
Eh, it’s over, it’s over. Did they offend Prince Xiaorong today?
Song Mingen didn't pay any attention to them at all. His whole mind was thinking about why the little prince wanted him to be the crown prince?
"Aye, do you still want to disobey the order?"
Mu Jingbei hurriedly whispered, "Little Prince Rong, why don't you quickly accept the imperial edict and express your gratitude? Do you want the entire Prince Rong's family to be confiscated and exiled, and your parents, daughter-in-law, and Sister Yu to be demoted to commoners and live a miserable life with you?"
Song Mingen suddenly knelt down and said, "I accept your order."
Mu Jingbei winked at Xiao Yanli, and had to be threatened to make him obey.
Xiao Yanli smiled, "Agui, what are you still standing there for?"
Wang Gui, who was watching the show on the side, finally came to his senses and handed the imperial edict to Song Mingen with a smile.
"Thank you for your grace, long live the emperor."
"Okay, if everything is fine, let's adjourn."
After Xiao Yanli finished speaking, he quickly got off the dragon throne, and the ministers all bid him farewell.
As soon as Xiao Yanli left the hall, congratulations were heard from inside.
"Congratulations, Prince Xiaorong. Congratulations, Prince Xiaorong."
Xiao Yanli frowned. These idiots should just call him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Song Mingen held the imperial edict as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and left the hall amid the congratulations of the ministers.
Mu Jingbei patted his son and whispered, "Are you happy? Your father-in-law is now the crown prince and will be the emperor in the future."
Mu Jingxing responded in a low voice, "Then will Sister Yu be a princess in the future?"
Mu Jingbei's lips curled up noticeably. "We, father and son, are truly blessed. Your mother is the eldest princess, and your fiancée will also be a princess in the future. I wonder if your son will also marry a princess in the future?"
Mu Jingxing frowned, his expression becoming stern again. "Dad, don't let your imagination run wild. Your grandson will have to wait at least twenty years to get married. You should take care of yourself and don't live beyond that time."
"You bastard, you cursed me! I'll beat you up." Before Mu Jingbei could slap him, Mu Jingxing ran ten feet away.
Du Henian hung his head and looked at the tall figure in the distance with a very listless look.
Yu Jie'er's adoptive father is extremely powerful!
How long will it take him to warm his precious daughter's heart?
"Dad!" The brothers Du Zhiyi and Du Zhixu came over and whispered in his ears, one on each side, "Don't look so depressed. Others will think you're unhappy with Prince Xiaorong becoming the Crown Prince."
"Nonsense!" Du Henian quickly raised his head, "Of course I support and am willing."
Du Zhixu: "Then what does it mean when you look so obviously unhappy?"
Du Henian smiled instantly, "It's just that it will be hard to coax Sister Yu back."
