Chapter 1547: The Emperor cannot be muddle-headed because of favoritism

Chen Guanlou thought about it, and understood the doorway.

If the imperial physicians dared to expose it on the spot, the Emperor would kill this group of imperial physicians on the spot. Having a treatment plan but not using it, and only jumping out when Medical Official Mu entered the palace, this is not taking the Emperor's life seriously!

With Emperor Jian Shi's temper, he would kill a river of blood on the spot and slaughter the entire Taiyi Academy.

If this group of imperial physicians had done something before, and indicated that they were helpless after treatment and needed to invite outside help, the Emperor would not be so angry.

The east spit white.

The ministers of the Political Affairs Hall had arrived.

Wang Defa helped Emperor Jian Shi sit up, leaning on a soft pillow.

Swallowing another medicine pill, Emperor Jian Shi felt a little strength, and his head was not as dizzy as before.

He scanned: "All here, sit down."

Several pillars of the imperial court sat in front of the bed, facing the Emperor, in order.

Xie Changling sat in the front and also in the middle.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to leave a last will."

It was too late to establish the Crown Prince.

From the decree to the enthronement ceremony, it would take at least half a month. The Emperor's body clearly couldn't support it for so long.

Simply leave a last will and determine the status first.

Emperor Jian Shi coughed several times: "Discuss it, who is suitable to be the Crown Prince? By the way, discuss how to deal with Marquis Pingjiang."

"Marquis Pingjiang can be shelved for the time being!" Xie Changling's tone was neither hurried nor slow, sounding like a discussion. In fact, his attitude was tough and unquestionable.

Emperor Jian Shi glanced at him, a bit tired.

"Who do you favor to be the Crown Prince?"

"Prince Duan!" Someone took the lead: "According to the ancestral rules, establish the legitimate if there is one, and establish the eldest if there is no legitimate. Prince Duan is legitimate, and there is no big mistake, Empress is a role model, so Prince Duan should be established as the Crown Prince."

"Your Majesty has been hesitating, is there any doubt? Could it be that Your Majesty is still thinking about Imperial Consort Gui, thinking about Prince Ning at this time?"

This group of ministers, at the last moment, none of them pretended anymore. Aggressive.

Emperor Jian Shi was half-dead with anger.

The already seriously ill body became even heavier.

"Prince Duan is weak in character and cannot be the Crown Prince." This was his attitude.

"Your Majesty is muddle-headed!"

The ministers were furious, and it was already this time, yet he was still hesitating. Do you want to leave a mess for the imperial court? As the Emperor of the Great Ming, can you think about the country and society of the Great Ming?

"Prince Ning is the eldest son, however, after all, the name is not right and the words are not smooth. Your Majesty, please don't cause chaos in the imperial court because of your favor for Imperial Consort Gui. If Prince Ning is established, may I ask how the Empress should handle herself? After Your Majesty passes away, do you want to see the descendants kill each other?"

"Presumptuous! Cough cough... Do you really think I can't lift the knife?"

Emperor Jian Shi was furious.

Wang Defa was distressed and angry.

He scolded the ministers: "Please ministers consider His Majesty's health. You are all pillars of the imperial court, I know you are all for the public. However, shouldn't His Majesty's wishes also be considered? Could it be that you want to be rebellious subjects!"

"Absurd. It's already this time, yet His Majesty is still hesitating, that is the real rebellious subject! Is the Great Ming Jiangshan going to be defeated in His Majesty's hands."

This group of ministers is really, none of them are covering up.

Emperor Jian Shi was furious and gritted his teeth: "You... are you trying to force the palace?"

"No!" Xie Changling finally spoke, soothing and giving ideas: "Your Majesty, please don't be impatient. We all understand His Majesty's wishes, however, the ancestral rules cannot be easily changed. Moreover, Empress and Prince Duan have had no big mistakes over the years. Although Prince Duan's qualifications are limited, however, it is not that he cannot take on the heavy responsibility. Why not, invite the two princes in and ask, how about it?"

Emperor Jian Shi closed his eyes in exhaustion.

"No need to call them in. Bring a question to all the princes, how to deal with the northwest. Give them a quarter of an hour, and let everyone write down the answer."

It was clear that Emperor Jian Shi didn't want to receive the princes with his sick body. He didn't want the princes to see his dying appearance. So as not to let the princes have thoughts that shouldn't be there and cause movement.

Xie Changling thought for a while and agreed: "Approved!"

Wang Defa's god-grandson took the question to see the princes and kings.

After a quarter of an hour, the answers were collected and returned to the bedroom.

The answers of the princes were passed around, and everyone had an answer in their hearts.

"Prince Duan is the granddaughter's husband of Marquis Pingjiang, his answer is a bit opportunistic."

"Prince Ning's answer is steady, not outstanding."

The qualifications of this generation of princes are about the same, none are particularly outstanding, and none are particularly dragging their feet. They are all mediocre!

Mediocre people being emperors actually have more advantages than people with outstanding qualifications being emperors.

Leaders don't need too awesome talent, just need to know people and appoint them, don't be self-righteous and mess around. The ministers below have fewer constraints, and they will solve problems and handle things well.

Don't underestimate the ability of a group of academic masters to handle things!

Of course, this is a peaceful and prosperous age, not a life-and-death juncture.

Emperors with too good qualifications love power and love tossing.

The Great Ming Jiangshan urgently needs a long period of recuperation, not tossing.

Therefore, the ministers had no dissatisfaction with the answers of the princes.

Only Emperor Jian Shi was slightly dissatisfied, having given birth to so many sons, yet all of them were mediocre, none of them had the courage to solve Marquis Pingjiang, which was slightly regrettable.

He sighed and ordered Wang Defa: "Handle it!"

Wang Defa took the order and burned the answers of the princes with a fire, leaving no trace.

"Your Majesty, it is better to be early than late, please establish the Crown Prince candidate as soon as possible."

"The Great Ming Jiangshan needs a Crown Prince, His Majesty also needs a Crown Prince, and the imperial court needs a Crown Prince even more. What is Your Majesty still hesitating about."

"Prince Ning is not better than Prince Duan. Establishing Prince Duan is the right way!"

"Your Majesty has already suffered a loss once, why are you still hesitating!"

"If Your Majesty breaks the ancestral rules, future generations will definitely follow suit. Does Your Majesty want to see the imperial family kill each other?"

"It's best not to bleed. Being able to transition smoothly is beneficial to the country and the people. I hope Your Majesty has less selfishness and more public heart."

"The ancestors of the Great Ming are all watching in the sky, Your Majesty don't be muddle-headed!"

This group of ministers is just short of picking up a pen to write the edict and forcing the Emperor to stamp it.

Wang Defa was furious and anxious for Emperor Jian Shi: "What do the ministers want to do? His Majesty is already like this, yet you are still forcing the palace, how can you bear it!"

"It is precisely because His Majesty's health is not good that we are anxious! Your Majesty, don't delay!"

The ministers were earnest, earnest, threatening and luring, talking about truth and facts. If it weren't for the great rebellion, they would definitely take action and press the Emperor's head to nod and agree.

Xie Changling coughed lightly, and instantly, the bedroom became quiet.

He looked at the time and the sky outside the window: "Your Majesty, it's dawn! Prince Duan is a kind person and will definitely treat the princes well. We can guarantee this!"

Emperor Jian Shi's eyes instantly brightened! ===== CHAPTER 1548 =====
