Chapter 209 This hat is so green 32
Emperor Liang stayed in Fengyi Palace for one night, and the queen sent someone to invite the prince over the next day.
What the mother and son talked about, no one knows.
All I know is that the prince was in a daze when he came out of Fengyi Palace.
After returning to the East Palace, the prince summoned the officials of the East Palace.
In the study, the prince sat there in a daze. The people who were called looked at each other, waiting for the prince to speak.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Lin reminded: "Your Highness, Your Highness, everyone is here."
"solitary……"
The prince came back to his senses and saw several subordinate officials and think tanks whom he usually relied on. He didn't know what to say for a while.
The queen mother will not lie to him.
But the news he learned from his mother was really unbelievable.
He decided to listen to his subordinates' opinions first.
"What do you think of Prince Ding's entry into the Ministry of War?"
Zhang Lin is the chief think tank under the Crown Prince and is trusted by the Crown Prince on weekdays.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty is resolute in this matter. It will be of no benefit to go against him. As for Prince Ding, I think the main thing is to win over him."
"Master Zhang, what you said is wrong."
Everyone has different ideas, and Mao Hao and Zhang Lin hold different opinions.
"Your Highness, as we all know, the Ministry of War is His Majesty's confidant. Those who serve in the Ministry of War are all His Majesty's cronies and are deeply trusted by His Majesty. Prince Ding's entry into the Ministry of War proves that Your Majesty trusts him very much."
"Once Prince Ding establishes a foothold in the Ministry of War, takes control of the military, and wants to ascend the throne, he may have endless troubles."
"Wei Chen suggested that we unite all the ministers in the court and submit a report together, asking your Majesty to take back the order. Your Majesty only asked Eunuch Li to pass on the oral message and did not issue an imperial edict. There is still room for redemption in this matter."
What Mao Hao said made sense, but Zhang Lin took one look at the prince's expression and immediately knew that the prince was more inclined to his proposal.
Zhang Linneng became the chief think tank. In addition to his resourcefulness, his ability to observe people's emotions was better than others. He could always speak to the prince's heart, so he was highly valued by the prince.
The prince did not say whose proposal was good or bad. Instead, he talked about going to Fengyi Palace this morning.
"The queen mother summoned Gu this morning. The queen mother promised that the prince would not be Gu's opponent in ascending to the throne and asked Gu to win over him."
"What exact news did the Queen get?"
"My mother talked to my father last night."
"This……"
Mao Hao was a little hesitant. Can he trust the news he received from His Majesty?
Not only did he have a question mark in his mind, but Zhang Lin also felt the same. The two of them looked at each other in a tacit understanding, not knowing whether they should ask or not. If so, it always felt like it was disrespectful to His Majesty.
This is doubting His Majesty's character. If His Majesty knew about it, the two of them shrank their heads and did not dare to think about it.
The prince ignored the lawsuits filed by his subordinates and said with a complicated expression: "My mother later said that a few years ago, my father had intended to train the twelfth brother to ascend the throne, but the twelfth brother refused."
Zhang Lin and Mao Hao were both excited when they heard the previous words. After hearing this, they both looked at a loss.
What the hell?
The prince was a little disinterested, "The twelfth brother doesn't want the prince's position. He doesn't care about the prince's position. No, the twelfth brother doesn't even care about the throne."
At this moment, the prince suddenly wanted to see Yuan Xi and talk to him. He felt inexplicably envious, lost and sad. In short, he felt very complicated.
Mao Hao was a little unable to accept it, "Your Highness, are you serious about this? I'm not questioning the Queen. It's just that if Your Majesty casually says it, the Queen is serious. It's possible."
After talking about it, he himself felt a little unconfident.
The Queen is not a fool.
Compared with him, Zhang Lin's mental quality is obviously better, his receptive ability is also strong, and his little brain is already spinning rapidly. What can the prince rely on? What was the reason that made His Majesty give up the crown prince and choose the prince instead?
Prince Ding's maternal ancestors were just ordinary petty officials. If all factors were eliminated, the problem still lay with Prince Ding himself.
After some digging, the answer is ready to come out.
"His Royal Highness, do you know the inside story of this?"
The prince shook his head, "I don't know, my mother didn't say anything."
Zhang Lin then asked: "How is Prince Ding's martial arts?"
"I only know that my father attaches great importance to the martial arts cultivation of the twelfth brother. After the twelfth brother leaves the palace, he often enters the palace to receive guidance from his father."
"So Prince Ding's qualifications are excellent?"
"Probably, otherwise my father wouldn't pay so much attention to his twelfth brother's martial arts training."
"I remember that several grandmasters in the royal family are old and there is no successor yet. If Prince Ding had already reached the innate realm a few years ago, then he has a high probability of breaking through to become a grandmaster."
Zhang Lin came from a poor family and had never studied martial arts, but he knew that becoming a master was not that easy, so he never imagined that there would be people cheating on him.
"Impossible. My twelfth brother was only that old a few years ago. How could he have broken through so easily?"
The prince considers himself to have excellent martial arts qualifications. He is tutored by famous teachers and enjoys top-notch resources. Now he is only a first-rate martial artist and has not even touched the edge of his innate talent. Now tell him that his twelfth brother, who is eight years younger than him, has reached Xiantian, which makes him feel infuriating.
After subconsciously retorting, the prince thought more and more, and the more he was right, his eyes lit up, and he speculated: "The twelfth brother should be a martial arts fanatic who wants to pursue a higher realm of martial arts. No wonder he doesn't care about the throne. This is because he has persistence in his heart."
"No wonder my father is so fond of my twelfth brother, and he was granted the title of prince upon leaving the palace. With such ability, my twelfth brother is indeed worthy."
Isn't this all right?
"His Royal Highness is wise."
Coincidentally, Zhang Lin thought so too.
A "future" grandmaster is still worth winning over. On this day, the prince and his subordinates set the tone for winning over Yuan Xi.
So the matter of Yuan Xi entering the Ministry of War was settled, and no one wrote a letter to refute it.
Many people had the same idea as the sixth prince. People of the prince's lineage would definitely not tolerate Prince Ding. Waiting for people from the prince's lineage to come forward first to test Emperor Liang's attitude, they are making decisions based on the situation.
On the first day, no one from the prince's side wrote a letter, and no one else took action; the main attack was against an enemy who could not move me.
The next day, calm down, the prince's lineage will definitely not be able to bear it.
On the third day, it was quite bearable.
……
Waiting, waiting, time flew by, and the flower viewing banquet hosted by the queen began.
It's called the Flower Appreciation Banquet, but it's actually a blind date banquet.
With flowers as its name, the flowers in the imperial garden should naturally be outstanding enough to show the royal look.
The exotic flowers and plants cultivated in Shanglin Garden were flown into the palace's flower room, and they were all arranged the day before the flower viewing banquet.
Hundreds of flowers are blooming, and the flowers are in full bloom.
Not to mention the boys and girls who entered the palace for the first time, even the concubines who often visited the imperial garden on weekdays were all amazed when they saw it.
This was a blind date banquet, so the space was naturally reserved for young people. Several high-ranking concubines just walked around and then followed the queen to entertain their wives.
The lower-ranking concubines had no chance of coming.
