"Everyone, let's have a discussion. It is true that the matter of the crown prince should be settled. Today's incident has greatly touched me. If I don't confirm the position of crown prince sooner, I don't know what will happen in the future. , so everyone is talking about the eldest prince Hongnong Wang Liu Bian and the second prince Bohai King Liu Xie, who is suitable to be the prince among their brothers?"

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sat high on the imperial couch, glanced calmly at the officials below, and asked in a calm voice, unable to hear any of his thoughts at all, so all the ministers in the court looked at each other for a while, everyone While observing Lingdi, they all meditated, and whispered to each other, discussing in low voices.

"Your Majesty, although the matter of setting up a crown prince is said to be a royal family matter, it is related to the great Han's country, the stability of the world and the interests of the people. I will boldly express my thoughts here.

Compared with the second prince, the first prince is older and more mature and stable. Judging from the situation of appeasing the refugees this time, his ability is also stronger.

Of course, the second prince is mainly because he is too young, and his abilities in various aspects are still unclear at present, so if the crown prince is to be established now, the first prince is stronger than the second prince.

At the same time, the eldest prince has no older brother, so he is the eldest prince. According to the ancestral system of my dynasty, the eldest prince should inherit the throne of the Holy One. "

Yiling Xunyou looked at the surrounding officials, and suddenly stood up and said to Emperor Ling. His voice was so high and loud that all the civil and military officials in the court were attracted by him.

"Hehe, Lord Xun certainly recommended the eldest prince, because the person who wrote the Wanyan Book today seems to be surnamed Xun, and if I remember correctly, he should be Lord Xun's uncle, right?"

At this time, Sikong Zhang Ji stood up with a grin, and said to Yiying Xunyou, immediately many courtiers who didn't know Xunyu's identity, including Emperor Hanling, also looked at him.

"Master Zhang, what does this mean? Although Xun Yu is my uncle, it's not a secret. There are quite a few people here who know about it.

But you should also know that my uncle has always been a bit lazy, and my grandparents passed away one after another, so he kept mourning for the two old people for ten years.

Originally, my uncle didn't want to become an official, but last time he celebrated the birthday of Cai University, he met the eldest prince in Cai Dizhong, had a conversation with the eldest prince, and admired the eldest prince deeply, and felt that the eldest prince It is worthy of assistance, so it was decided to assist the First Prince.

However, I don't know what he did today. I only know that he is indeed helping resettle those refugee people in the refugee camp these days.

Moreover, even if I knew about this matter, I felt that my uncle did the right thing. He just expressed their aspirations on behalf of the refugees. Could it be that Mr. Zhang would not even allow this? "

"Hmph, I think Mr. Xun not only knew about this matter, but also participated in it. No wonder you couldn't wait to jump out to support the eldest prince. It turned out that this was something you had planned, but you were afraid that the eldest prince would be punished if he became the crown prince." Your uncle and nephew are threatening you."

"My lord Zhang, don't be bloody. I, Xun You, are loyal to the big man. This heart can be learned from day to day. How can a villain like you be able to guess it?" Xun You scolded angrily.

"Okay, stop arguing. Your Majesty wants everyone to discuss the matter of the crown prince. Didn't you want you to talk about it here and there? Do you think this is a vegetable market? Let's get back to the topic. , I support the eldest prince as the crown prince. After all, the eldest prince is about to reach adulthood. From the perspective of stability in the world, he will be able to win the hearts of the people more if he becomes the prince of a big man. Not to mention the refugees outside the city, it is our Luoyang city. , how many people are full of praise for the First Prince now."

Situ Chen stopped the dispute between the two, and expressed his opinion decisively. Of course, he supported the eldest prince, because he was Cai Yong's friend and classmate, and also a representative figure of the Confucian school.

"My lord Situ, I don't dare to agree with my lord's opinion." Dr. Guanglu Xu Xiang took the opportunity to say: "The eldest prince has been growing up outside the palace and has not received a good education, so he still has a lot of tricksters in him. Habits, for example, a few days ago he sent the Habayashi Army to borrow food from the homes of the courtiers, which caused an extremely bad influence in Luoyang City, and even affected the lives of the court ministers. How do these practices seem to come from a future? What about the hand of the emperor? His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who grew up with the Holy Majesty, was educated by the Holy Majesty himself, and is as refined and courteous as the Holy Majesty, is the best candidate for the crown prince."

"My lord Xu, what do you mean? The eldest prince is raised outside the palace. This is the family affairs of the Holy Majesty. Can you take care of it? What are you talking about without education? Don't you know that the eldest prince is now under the tutelage of Cai Dashi? Is it possible that Cai University can't teach the eldest prince Confucian poetry and book etiquette?
Since everyone is speaking freely here today, then I will speak directly if I have something to say, and ask the Holy One to forgive me.We have all heard that in the past, the Holy Majesty didn't like the First Prince very much, saying that he was frivolous and lacked dignity, so I'm afraid he wasn't made for an emperor.

But recently, we have come into contact with the eldest prince several times, and the feeling he gives us is completely different from when we were young.So His Majesty's feeling is only aimed at the Eldest Prince when he was a child. Now that the Eldest Prince is over ten years old, and has studied under Cai University for a period of time, his behavior is now very stable and down-to-earth, and he naturally reveals that he is His Royal Highness. His majestic demeanor is completely qualified for the position of prince. "

Shangshu Lu Zhi coldly refuted the words of Dr. Xu Xiang, Guanglu, and he was a little speechless, and he couldn't go on talking about it. If he continued, it might arouse Lingdi's dissatisfaction, because recently it seems that Ling The emperor loved the eldest prince more and more.

"I am opposed to making the eldest prince the crown prince, because the second prince has been growing up in the palace. It can be said that I have watched him grow up and know him very well. Although the second prince is still young, he will definitely become the crown prince in the future." wise lord."

At this moment, a sharp voice sounded, but it was Zhongchang Attendant Zhang Rang who saw that there were many people who supported the First Prince, he was afraid that His Majesty would listen to everyone's words and appoint the First Prince as Crown Prince, then their future status would be lost.

"Hmph, you eunuch, you were originally just slaves in the palace, but because you are favored by your superiors, you have been granted an official position, and you treat yourself as an adult? Only the court officials are qualified to discuss important matters such as the establishment of a prince. Yes, you are just a mutilated eunuch, do you dare to talk nonsense here?"
