But this candidate...is the King of Jin.
They don’t know how to speak.
As for the late Queen’s affairs, few people inside and outside the court have mentioned it. Even some ministers may not know about it, but many old ministers still know about it.
To them, Xiao Shengyu was really not a suitable candidate for the crown prince.
While the ministers were looking at each other, someone stood up.
Lu Hong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I think it cannot be decided in just half a day. Your Majesty, please think about it again and again before making a decision."
“What Mr. Lu said is reasonable, I think so too.” Emperor Jianwen followed Lu Hong’s words and said, “Since there is still a debate among you, dear ministers, on the matter of opposing the prince, I will not be in a hurry.”
Emperor Jianwen paused and said, "But there is one more thing that I need to discuss with you all."
“Please give me your Majesty’s instructions.”
The ministers said in unison.
Xu Shi's establishment of a crown prince was already too important, so the ministers were not so nervous about what Emperor Jianwen was going to say next.
“Bring something up.”
"yes."
Eunuch Wan’s voice contained an imperceptible tremor.
Only Lu Hong noticed.
His eyes flashed, not knowing what he was thinking.
A brocade box was brought to Eunuch Wan.
Seeing the brocade box, Feng Hu's expression changed and he lowered his head even lower.
"I got a good thing yesterday, and I want to show it to all the ministers."
As Emperor Jianwen spoke, he opened the brocade box and took out the contents.
The ministers looked up, and then their expressions changed.
The timid man only glanced at it and then lowered his head.
Emperor Jianwen's bold eyes looked back and forth on his hands several times, and then he lowered his head.
What Emperor Jianwen held in his hand was none other than a jade seal.
One, clean, unused jade seal.
"Ministers, have you looked carefully? If not, I will let you take a few more looks."
With that said, Eunuch Wan stepped forward and took the jade seal from Emperor Jianwen. Then he walked down with the jade seal in his hand and showed it to the ministers one by one.
All the ministers took one look at it and then looked away, not daring to look further.
After all the ministers had seen it, Eunuch Wan was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he turned around and walked towards where the princes were.
Except for Xiao Shengyu and Xiao Jin, the other princes were all heartbroken.
I don’t understand what Emperor Jianwen meant.
“Your Highnesses, please take a look.”
Eunuch Wan waved the jade seal in front of several princes before returning to Emperor Jianwen.
“You might as well guess where I got this from?”
Emperor Jianwen raised another difficult question to his ministers.
In the court hall, there was complete silence.
Compared with the previous time when Emperor Jianwen mentioned the establishment of a prince, he was even quieter.
Knowing that he would not hear the answer, Emperor Jianwen did not wait any longer and said, "Master Feng found this thing from the Treasure Pavilion. Its owner is none other than my good sixth brother, Prince An, Xiao Buyan." !”
“Your Majesty, calm down!”
All the ministers knelt down one after another, and several princes also knelt down.
Xiao Shengyu and Xiao Jin are no exception.
A prince holds a jade seal, and the purpose is obvious.
The jade seal was casually thrown to the ground by Emperor Jianwen, "Bring Xiao Buyan up."
Soon, King An, who was all dirty, was carried to the main hall.
As soon as the guard released his grip, King An fell softly to the ground.
Seeing this scene, all the ministers were trembling in their hearts.
But there is also surprise.
Would King An do such a thing?
But they did not dare to speak. No matter how many explanations there were, the emperor had to be willing to listen.
And the current Emperor Jianwen probably wouldn't listen to it.
As if he was aware of his position, King An, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.
He reluctantly raised his head, with a few traces of blood on his face, looking very embarrassed.
“Father...Father, son...is unjustly accused.”
Wang An’s voice was very weak, as if he had been tortured.
But in fact, even though His Majesty ordered it, Feng Hu did not dare to use excessive punishment on Prince An. However, for a prince who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, a slightly heavier punishment may make him It was as if he had been tortured greatly.
Seeing King An like this, Emperor Jianwen seemed to have a hint of unbearability in his eyes.
But after seeing the jade seal on the ground with his peripheral vision, the unbearable feeling quickly dissipated.
“Lao Liu, I’m not dead yet, do you still want to sit in this position?”
Emperor Jianwen said, patting the dragon chair under him.
Wang An's dull eyes turned, as if he was listening carefully to Emperor Jianwen's words.
After a while, he said: "Father, my son...don't dare."
“Then what is this?”
I don’t know when the jade seal was taken into Eunuch Wan’s hand and handed to King An.
As Emperor Jianwen spoke, King An's eyes also fell on Yuxi.
He seemed not to recognize what it was. He looked at it for a long time and whispered, "Father, what is this?"
“Can’t you recognize what you prepared yourself?”
Emperor Jianwen frowned in boredom.
King Ke'an still had confusion in his eyes.
After staring at the jade seal for a long time, King An's eyes flashed and he finally recognized the object.
“This…this is my father’s jade seal?”
He was very confused, why did his father want to show him the jade seal?
Xiao Jin spoke at this moment, "Father, there must be some misunderstanding. How could the sixth brother make the jade seal in private?"
Make a jade seal privately?
Wang An's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he heard Xiao Jin's words.
Let alone making jade seals, if he were asked to touch the jade seal, he would not dare.
“Father!”
Wang An’s voice suddenly became much louder.
He realized that if this matter was not explained clearly, his life might not be saved.
“Father, how could my son make jade seals in private? Someone must have framed him!”
Wang An struggled to get up, trying hard to prove himself.
“Yes, Father, please be more careful!”
Xiao Jin spoke, and the other princes also spoke one after another to plead for Prince An.
Begging for mercy is not a bad thing anyway. Regardless of whether King An does it or not, they can gain a good reputation as brothers and respectful brothers.
Xiao Shengyu narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "How can father confirm that this thing belongs to the sixth brother?"
Emperor Jianwen was not angry at Xiao Shengyu's question.
He pointed at Feng Hu and said, "Master Feng, you answer."
"yes."
Feng Hu took a step forward and said, "Back to His Highness Prince Jin, I was ordered to search Prince An's Mansion and found the key in a vase in the study."
“…After identification, I learned that this key may be related to the Treasure Pavilion.”
“The official took people to the Zhenbao Pavilion and found a brocade box. The key can just open the brocade box.”
In a few words, Feng Hu explained clearly what happened.
Eunuch Wan also brought the opened brocade box and the key.
“Sixth brother, do you recognize this brocade box?”
Xiao Shengyu asked.
Wang An's eyes passed over the brocade box and then fell on the key.
His brows furrowed tightly, wishing that the memory would immediately resurface.
