Chapter 143 Predictions
Perhaps, they can guess, but they just don't want to believe it.

"Okay, I already know what you mean." Emperor Xiwu's calm and majestic voice sounded slowly, and the courtiers who had been arguing just now fell silent in an instant.

He looked at the fifth prince Ye Hengqi who had kept his head down and kept silent.

It was not the first time he came to the court, but this time, what he was wearing was not the prince's court clothes, but the royal court clothes.

"Prince Xiang, it's up to you to tell me, among your elder brothers, who is the most suitable to be the crown prince?"

As soon as the question was finished, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became condensed.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?
Let another prince decide such a big matter as the crown prince?

This is a bit too absurd.

Moreover, what would His Royal Highness Xiang want to say?
No matter which one you choose, you will make enemies for yourself, and if you do it wrong, it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion.

Your Majesty is definitely not because he values ​​His Royal Highness King Xiang, but because he is deliberately embarrassing his youngest son?

The ministers bowed their heads, each with their own ulterior motives.

Ye Hengqi himself had a calm face, as usual, without any disturbance, he took a step forward, knelt down on the ground, and bowed respectfully: "I have just entered the court not long ago, and I don't know much about the government. It is a matter of great importance to my Xiwu Guozuo, and I dare not speak in vain."

Don't dare to speak nonsense, it means you have an idea in your heart.

Emperor Xiwu smiled: "Prince Xiang doesn't need to have too many scruples, just say what's in his heart, and I won't blame him."

"My son, I see little, big brother, second brother and third brother are not suitable to be my prince of Xiwu." Ye Hengqi lowered his head, his voice was still steady.

One word startled a thousand layers of waves.

The courtiers originally thought that in order to avoid offending the princes, His Royal Highness chose to be perfunctory to His Majesty.They really didn't expect His Royal Highness King Xiang to be so clean and tidy, not only didn't choose any one, but also offended all three elder brothers.

Neither is suitable, so who is suitable?
Could it be that His Royal Highness Xiang himself is suitable?
Many courtiers carefully looked up at Emperor Xiwu's face.

But Emperor Xiwu always had the same expression, and the ministers were uneasy. Is His Majesty angry?

"None of them are suitable? Then who else is suitable? King Xiang means that only you are suitable?" Emperor Xiwu asked what all the courtiers were wondering about.

Ye Hengqi shook his head, looked up at Emperor Xiwu, paused every word, and said very seriously: "My son has no such intention."

"Oh." Emperor Xiwu squinted his eyes, looking at the youngest son, his eyes were a bit more complicated.

Except for the prince who is a talented and talented prince who is deeply favored by the emperor, any other prince who wants to fight for the throne will not admit his ambition in front of the emperor.

Emperor Xiwu was not surprised by Ye Hengqi's answer.

It's just that Emperor Xiwu really couldn't see any selfish desires and ambitions in Ye Hengqi's eyes.

Does his youngest son really have no ambitions?Or the city is too deep for people to see his true thoughts clearly.

Or is it just because you are young and have not been involved in the world much, so you don't know the benefits of holding the power of the world?
On the last point, Emperor Xiwu disagreed.

Born in the royal family, there will be no simple people.The same goes for his prince.

"Then Qi'er might as well tell you why these brothers of yours couldn't be crown princes." Emperor Xiwu smiled, and called Ye Hengqi's name instead of his title.

Ye Hengxiao immediately glared at Ye Hengqi, clenching his fists tightly.

He actually underestimated him as the younger brother of the Fifth Emperor. He looked like he was indifferent to the world, but in fact he had the most vicious heart. He said in front of his father that he was not suitable to be the heir apparent. Isn't that just putting on little shoes for him?
I don't mean to say what is right, I just want to say these words to attract the attention of the father, let the father know his pretense of innocence!
Facing Ye Hengxiao's murderous eyes, Ye Hengqi didn't show any fear.

Although he was still kneeling on the ground, his back was straight and he was extremely proud: "Your Majesty, forgive me for the crime of lying. The elder brother is suitable to be a leisurely prince, rich and honorable, accompanied by a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine. Two Brother Huang is a natural general, a halberd on the battlefield, invincible, he will open up the territory for Xiwu, sweep the countries, and help the emperor of Xiwu to rule the world. Brother Sanhuang has hills and valleys in his chest, but there is no emperor The prime minister will be a good minister who assists the king."

After Ye Hengqi finished speaking, Emperor Xiwu's expression was no longer calm and indifferent, but became a little serious.

These words are not explaining why they can't be crown princes, but seem to be predicting their possible future results through their temperament.

bold enough.

Emperor Xiwu never thought that this son, who had always been aloof from the world and was not noticed by him, would have such courage.

Of course, Emperor Xiwu didn't pay much attention to his other children.

Even for Ye Shuhuang, after going through all kinds of absurd things later, Emperor Xiwu treated her favorably but perfunctorily.

I have to admit that Emperor Xiwu himself was a cold and heartless man.

But such a person is suitable to be an emperor, but he will not be a good husband or father.

Emperor Xiwu himself had to admit that if he hadn't fallen in love with Wen Xuanying back then, the family of the generals, the Weilie General's Mansion with high prestige in the army, might not have waited to experience that tragic war, and would have committed treason to the enemy. Slashing is not the end of loyalty where the whole government dies in battle and is loyal to the country.

Facing Ye Hengqi's words, Ye Hengyu did not show any dissatisfaction from the beginning to the end, and always kept a straight face, cold and resolute.

But Ye Hengfeng lowered his head so that no one could see the sarcasm in his eyes.

A virtuous minister who assists the king?
Without the appearance of an emperor?
What kind of thing is Ye Hengqi, a yellow-mouthed kid who dares to speak nonsense?

Don't say that this is Ye Hengqi's nonsense, even if it is true, he will not accept his fate.

If Ye Hengfeng could still hide his emotions, Ye Hengxiao was about to be blown up.

Ye Hengqi, what does that mean?Do you really think of yourself as an onion?
It's all right to say that he can't be the crown prince, after all, they all said it.

But the second child is a general, the third child is a virtuous minister, and he is an idle prince, accompanied by a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine?
What does it mean?
Among the brothers, he is the only one who is ignorant and idle, right?

Tolerable or unbearable!
Ye Hengxiao really couldn't swallow this breath, he took a step forward, trying to make his expression look natural.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

For this son, Emperor Xiwu had long been disappointed.

Yes, Emperor Xiwu once had hope for him, after all, it was his first child.

But he really couldn't support the wall with mud, so Emperor Xiwu simply ignored it later.

"What does King Huai want to say?" Emperor Xiwu asked.
