Chapter 255 It’s time for someone else to take over the throne
Lin Zhiyi chuckled, "If I had known earlier, I would have married my sister to him."
Li Wenjing glanced at her.
That's about right.
Li Wenyu was very envious when he saw the interaction between the two.
I've heard that my third sister-in-law is a wonderful person, and today I see that she is indeed the case.
But it doesn’t matter. The Third Emperor’s wife has no chance, but she still has a younger sister.
Li Wenyu secretly kept Lin Zhiyi's words in mind.
Li Hong seemed to have seen Li Wenyu, and he was babbling as if he was talking to Li Wenyu.
Li Wenyu turned around and saw Li Hong smiling at him.
I don't know what he was saying.
Lin Zhiyi explained with a smile: "It seems that Hong'er likes him very much as the emperor's uncle."
Li Wenyu walked over and Li Hong stretched out his little arms and asked for a hug.
Li Wenyu looked at the delicate little ball, his fingertips moved slightly, but he glanced down and saw that his clothes were stained with dust because he was in a hurry to travel, so he finally withdrew his hand.
Seeing that Li Wenyu refused to hug him, Li Hong pouted and looked at Lin Zhiyi, looking very aggrieved.
Lin Zhiyi pushed Li Wenjing.
Li Wenjing carried Li Hong to Li Wenyu's side, "Come, let Fourth Uncle hold you."
Li Hong got his wish and crawled into Li Wenyu's arms. He was so excited that he kicked his arms and legs around like a happy bird.
The King of Qi and his wife entered the palace and happened to see this scene.
"Oh, it seems that the nephew really likes his fourth uncle. Come, give the uncle a hug."
When Li Hong saw the King of Qi, he felt that he didn't like this man very much and even spat out saliva from his mouth.
The King of Qi's expression changed.
You little bastard, I will send your family of three on their journey in an orderly manner later.
He looked at Prince Jing again.
You’re back just in time. How can I miss him accompanying me on my journey to the underworld?
Guests came one after another and presented gifts.
Even the Fangzhou governor, Lu Chongjian, and his wife Zhang Wanqing sent people to Chang'an and presented generous gifts.
Lin Luchen and Ma Cunzheng from Xishui Village also sent gifts.
Only Li Wenjing and Lin Zhiyi knew about the gift that the Qinglong Gang had sent a day in advance.
This is Li Wenjing’s trump card.
At the sound of "Your Majesty has arrived, Concubine Wen has arrived", everyone stood up and saluted.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Hong'er is the host today." Emperor Yuanhe waved his hand.
When Li Hong saw Emperor Yuanhe coming, he could no longer stay in Li Wenyu's arms and asked Emperor Yuanhe to hold him.
Emperor Yuanhe then noticed Li Wenyu and nodded to him calmly, "Prince Jing is back too."
Li Wenyu saluted, "Father."
"Okay, you don't have to bow while holding Hong'er."
Li Wenyu was a little surprised. When had he ever received such an honor? This was the first time that his father did not allow him to salute.
She really benefited from the little child in her arms.
Eunuch Wu stepped forward, picked up Li Hong, and brought him to Emperor Yuanhe.
"Your Majesty, the little grandson has not yet reached his zodiac sign."
"Are you ready?"
"Your Majesty, it's ready."
Emperor Yuanhe valued Li Hong so much that he sent Eunuch Wu two days in advance to personally supervise the servants in the Prince's Mansion to prepare the banquet.
"Carry it up."
Eunuch Wu shouted, "Bring it up!"
A round desk was carried up by a young eunuch.
Emperor Yuanhe placed Li Hong on the table.
"Hong'er, come on, take whichever one you like."
Li Hong saw a circle of things on the desk, including various toys, rattles, fans, bows and arrows, seals, abacus, brushes, gold ingots, combs, jade plaques, wooden scissors, military books, etc.
Everyone stared at Li Hong intently.
"Hong'er, go pick the one you like best."
Li Hong understood, then glanced at the things on the table, and then turned around to look at the back.
"Look, he's crawling!"
"Towards the pen."
"No, no, why do I see him heading towards Yuanbao?"
Everyone looked at him nervously.
When the King of Qi and his wife saw him crawling towards the rattle, they smiled mockingly.
However, Li Hong picked up the rattle and threw it under the table without any hesitation.
Emperor Yuanhe then breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Hong looked around and felt that there was nothing he liked, so he picked up something and then threw it down again.
Finally, he picked up a seal, held on to it and wouldn't let go, and started playing with it.
Emperor Yuanhe was overjoyed, "Hahahaha, Hong'er got the seal during his one-year-old celebration. This is heaven's will! Today, I will follow the will of heaven and appoint Li Hong as the crown prince, who will inherit the throne in the future!"
Everyone was shocked.
No wonder people say that Emperor Yuanhe loves his grandson Li Hong the most. After seeing him today, it is indeed true!
All the ministers came forward to congratulate him.
Everyone praised the Crown Prince Li Hong for his intelligence and talent, saying he was truly a child of unicorn, and that appointing him as the Crown Prince was a move that followed the will of heaven and the will of the people.
Emperor Yuanhe laughed even more happily.
The women looked at Lin Zhiyi with envy. She was so lucky. Not only did she marry a good husband, but she also gave birth to a good son.
Only the King of Qi curled his lips and lowered his eyes to hide the cold light in his eyes.
Talented?
Then he would send this little bastard to the King of Hell today to show off his intelligence.
Emperor Yuanhe was very happy and told all the guests to take their seats.
Li Hong seemed to be hungry too, and clamored to find Lin Zhiyi for milk.
Emperor Yuanhe had no choice but to give the child to Eunuch Wu and take him to the Crown Princess.
At this time, the dancers came on stage to perform. For a moment, all the guests enjoyed the singing and dancing, toasting each other and having a great time.
When the King of Qi saw that everyone had eaten the food and drunk the wine on the table, he couldn't help but sneer.
Zhou Heng had already reported to him that Li Wenjing would produce evidence of his crime, evidence that he had framed the prince, and evidence that he had sent assassins to kill Li Wenjing on the way.
However, he would kill Li Wenjing before he could say it, not giving him the chance to speak.
Seeing Li Wenjing stand up, without waiting for him to speak, there was a crisp "bang" sound, and the jade cup in the King of Qi's hand fell to the ground and shattered into powder.
The singing and dancing in the hall suddenly stopped, and the musicians were at a loss.
The emperor frowned and looked over, only to see the King of Qi slowly stand up with a cold smile on his lips.
"Father, I offer you a toast."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of uniform armor colliding suddenly came from outside the hall!
Hundreds of imperial guards rushed in with knives and surrounded the banquet in an instant!
Everyone stood up in panic, and Li Wenjing shouted, "Second brother, what are you doing?"
"What?" Li Wencheng chuckled.
Lin Zhiyi knew that the reason why Li Wenjing was still talking to Li Wencheng at this moment instead of directly arresting the King of Qi was to make Emperor Yuanhe give up on Li Wencheng and his mother.
"Of course... clear out the emperor's entourage and rectify the government!"
Emperor Yuanhe was stunned for a moment, clearly in disbelief. He flew into a rage, "Rebellious son! How dare you!"
Li Wencheng looked at the sullen Emperor Yuanhe and chuckled, "Father is old, and it's time for someone else to take over the throne."
Emperor Yuanhe couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that his son, whom he had always loved so much, would rebel.
He asked, "Cheng'er, why? Why do you do this?"
