Chapter 229 Hematemesis
Many people looked at Ning Guogong with admiration, secretly praising him in their hearts, as worthy of being the minister of the Ministry of War, he dared to go against the emperor in public.

The queen looked at him in astonishment, both puzzled and angry.

Elder brother, could it be that he is crazy? The emperor obviously doesn't want to establish a prince at this time. Isn't he making the emperor unable to step down in public?
Besides, although the second prince Zhao Yunian is dead, how can he turn around and support the fourth prince as the prince?
Although she is no longer young, it does not mean that she cannot be regenerated.

What if she can have another son, the prince can only be her son!

The emperor did not expect that Ning Guogong would stand up and support the fourth prince.As soon as a nephew died, he turned around and went to support others. Is this necessary to seek a contribution from the dragon?
The emperor's face was as dark as ink, and he said to Ning Guo in a cold voice, "Why, Mr. Ning Guo is helping me to make a decision?"

Ning Guogong straightened up, changed his usual respect, and looked directly at the emperor, "I just think that the emperor should appoint a crown prince. Since the fourth prince is outstanding, why not make him a crown prince as soon as possible? This is not only a matter of popular expectations, In the future, even if the emperor is not in good health, if something happens, the crown prince will be able to shoulder the responsibilities of the court immediately, so as not to destroy our country and society!"

As soon as Ning Guogong said this, the audience was dead silent.

At this time, let alone anyone dare to speak, everyone almost dared not even breathe.After hearing what Ning Guogong said to the emperor, they all wished they could become deaf and blind.

Everyone was anxious and uneasy, and they didn't know if they would be angered by the emperor.

The queen couldn't believe that this was the elder brother whom everyone praised so much, she just thought he was crazy today.Could it be that he is tired of life?It's just that he wants to die, so don't drag her down!

Although her emperor's son is dead, she still has a daughter, parents and brothers, and she doesn't want to be killed by him without knowing it.

The queen was angry in her heart, but at this time, she didn't have time to think about how her elder brother seemed like a different person, so she stood up in a hurry and said, "Come on, Duke Ning is drunk, send him back to the mansion to rest."

Angrily glaring at Ning Guogong, the queen turned around with a smile and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Ning Guogong is drunk, what he just said is all nonsense, don't take it to heart. When he wakes up tomorrow, my concubine will Let him enter the palace to plead guilty with you."

The emperor was extremely angry at first, but when he saw the empress's much older face and thought of the tragic death of the second prince, the anger in his heart dissipated a little, and he looked at Ning Guogong coldly.

"For the queen's sake, I'll pretend you're drunk, come here and help Duke Ning go down."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and praised the emperor in their hearts for being such a broad-minded and enlightened emperor, that he did not blame Ning Guogong for the past.

Just when everyone thought that the Ningguo Guild was being helped down by the two eunuchs who came up, who would have thought that he would shake the eunuchs away with a wave of his hand.

Instead of retreating, he looked directly at the emperor and said, "I drank tea just now, I wasn't drunk at all, I was very sober..."

The queen originally thought that she passed the steps, and the Ningguo Guild would follow the trend, but he didn't care at all.Afraid that he would say something rebellious again, he quickly interrupted him, "Brother, you are crazy. You have a fever and are confused, so you are talking nonsense here. Hurry down, and I will let the imperial doctor come and treat you."

After being interrupted by the queen, Ning Guogong looked at her dissatisfiedly, "Thank you for your concern, the queen. I am in good health and don't need to see the imperial doctor."

No one dared to speak at the banquet, everyone looked at Ning Guogong silently, no one expected that he would dare to disobey the emperor in public in order to support the fourth prince.

The fourth prince looked at Ning Guogong with a moved face at this time. He never knew that Ning Guogong was so optimistic about himself, and in order to support himself as a prince, he dared to confront his father.

At this time, he was both moved and deeply disturbed.

Ning Guogong ignored everyone's opinions, and said to the emperor again, "The fourth prince is outstanding, smart, benevolent, filial, just and virtuous, enough to be the crown prince. Your Majesty, please make the fourth prince the crown prince!"

There was a dead silence all around.

The emperor's face was as sinking as water, and he stared at Ning Guogong coldly for a long time, before slowly opening his mouth, "What if I don't agree?"

The fourth prince who was originally looking at the emperor nervously, heard this sentence, the light in his eyes quickly disappeared.

In the past, the fourth prince never thought that he would become a prince one day, let alone Xiao Xiang's supreme position.

Although the second prince was not the eldest, his biological mother was the empress, and he even had a minister of the Ministry of War who held one-third of the military power in the Yuankang Dynasty as his uncle.There is also the eldest prince, although he is not a direct descendant, but he is the emperor's first prince, and his biological mother Zhao Guifei has always been doted on by the emperor.

And his mother and concubine have always lived a very low-key life in the palace. She never competed, and she never taught him to compete with other brothers.

In the eyes of the fourth prince, if there were two elder brothers who were more prestigious than him and favored by him, the crown prince would only be one of them.Anyway, no matter how you choose, the emperor will not choose him as the prince.

So the fourth prince knew from an early age that he would at most be an idle prince in the future.

Until several other imperial brothers had accidents one after another, Concubine Zhuang Xian suddenly changed from her usual non-competition and pushed him out, wanting to let him sit on the supreme position.

With an uneasy heart, he bit the bullet to supervise the country and handle the government affairs on behalf of his father. He originally thought that he would encounter a lot of difficulties, as well as the courtiers' pickiness and dissatisfaction with him.

Unexpectedly, he did not encounter any difficulties as imagined, and many officials praised him profusely.Even Ning Guogong, who holds a heavy army in his hand, expressed his support for him, which made the fourth prince suddenly more confident.

During the period of supervising the country on behalf of the emperor, the fourth prince really realized the benefits of holding the imperial power in his hands, and naturally, he inevitably aspired to that supreme position.

However, his father poured cold water on him in public.

The fiery heart of the fourth prince quickly cooled down.

Ning Guogong ignored the emperor's gaze, straightened his waist, and the respect on his face no longer existed.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at Ning Guogong, and then her eyes fell on Concubine Zhuang Xian's exquisite face that kept changing, she paused, and then lightly parted her lips.

Duke Ning's change was not concealed, and many people saw it. Just when everyone thought he would speak again, Concubine Zhuang Xian suddenly said to the emperor with a ferocious face, "Since you don't want Yuan'er to be the crown prince , then you go to die. As long as you die, the crown prince will belong to Yuaner, and no one can take it away, hahaha..."

Everyone stared dumbfounded at Concubine Zhuang Xian who seemed to be insane, completely bewildered by this turn of events.

The fourth prince Zhao Zhiyuan looked at his mother and concubine with a look of astonishment, his expression changed in panic.

The emperor stood up angrily, and pointed at Concubine Zhuang Xian, but before he could speak, he suddenly covered his chest with his hand, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
