Chapter 1065: A Royal Prince Falls From the Sky!
either. In the future, we won't have to worry about taking care of things at home anymore; they will proactively help take care of the vegetable patch and maintain our home!"Li Lao San's eyes lit up,...But those ministers who had been cautiously observing, in their hearts strangely felt a sense of pleasure.
Previously, you fawned over the Noble Consort and clung to the Second Prince. Now, are you finally seeing the light
Hm, when it comes to major events, staying calm and composed is the only rule for survival in court.
Liu Zhiheng couldn't hold back any longer, he pushed through the chaos and got to Li Laoer's side, whispering in astonishment, "Today... are you planning to capture them all"
Li Laoer's expression was a bit complex, he whispered back, "Wait. Big things are coming later. Remember, no matter what happens, don't talk out of turn, keep your mouth shut!"
Liu Zhiheng listened, his heart pounding. He wanted to ask again, but Li Laoer pushed him back to his place.
Perhaps the Emperor was afraid of another incident, or maybe the concubine would be favored again and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
He almost didn't hesitate, and immediately accused the Noble Consort.
Not only was she banished to the cold palace, but she would never be pardoned.
This surprised the court officials, and even some old ministers stepped forward to plead for leniency in order to maintain stability in the court.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider. This matter requires careful investigation, after all, the Noble Consort is the biological mother of the Second Prince."
"The Second Prince is the only son you raised, and perhaps he will inherit the throne of Tianwu in the future. He cannot have a mother who makes mistakes and is sent to the cold palace, otherwise history books will record it, and future generations will criticize it."
But the emperor was unusually resolute. No matter how much the old ministers tried to persuade him, he issued an imperial decree of punishment.
Some loyal ministers were so worried about Emperor Tianwu that they nearly fell ill from anxiety.
"Your Majesty, you have only this one prince, and he is the best candidate for the position of Crown Prince. You can't treat him like this!"
The Emperor, however, laughed. He straightened his spine, a look of triumph practically overflowing from his features.
"Who said I only have one prince, who said the second prince is the best candidate"
Having said that, he suddenly stood up and looked towards the back hall entrance.
Yi Zongguan understood immediately and walked over, leading a young man with him.
The man was under twenty years old. He had a high forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and thin lips. His face was three-dimensional and angular, handsome and dashing.
He wore a dark-colored robe embroidered with dragons, a golden crown on his head. He was tall and graceful, exuding an air of nobility that was both unrestrained and flamboyant…
Who is this
Everyone stood agape, unable to utter a sound.
Especially Mr. Wen and Liu Ziheng, their eyes were bulging out of their sockets, wishing they could use all their strength to suppress their wildly beating hearts.
Both of them looked at Li Laer together, but saw that he was also as surprised as everyone else.
But they were too familiar, still easily saw the traces of Li Lao Er's performance.
This old fox, he must have known about it all along!
Definitely!
Li Lao'er gritted his teeth, trying his best to be a good actor.
A wry smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I caught sight of their expressions.
He could say, he wasn't particularly sure, either
Even if I'm sure, I wouldn't dare to say it!
The emperor has kept a big secret for many years, and anyone who gets involved will die!
He certainly didn't think his neck was made of iron and couldn't be cut!
Moreover, most importantly, he said that the family's business was in charge, and in the future, it would control the entire world of martial arts. People probably thought he was crazy!
The Emperor on his throne was extremely pleased with the reaction of his officials.
After years of forbearance and meticulous planning, I finally get to shine at this moment!
"My lords, this is my eldest son! He did not die unexpectedly that year. A wise monk said his life was destined to face tribulations and he had to live in seclusion outside the palace. He can return only after he turns eighteen."
Although he grew up among commoners all these years, I have arranged for many great scholars to teach him, and he has also witnessed the hardships of the people's lives.
"I believe he will surely be the most outstanding heir and will lead Tianwu to a prosperous era!"
The Imperial Observatory has calculated that in half a month, it will be an auspicious day. I shall personally bestow the title of Crown Prince upon the eldest prince! I hope that all of you loyal ministers will, from now on, emulate your loyalty to me and continue to support the Crown Prince, working diligently for the Heavenly Martial Empire!
The officials understood each character, but when put together, they still couldn't make sense of it.
The Empress Dowager committed suicide, the Noble Consort was sent to the cold palace, and the second prince has no hope of ascending the throne!
The eldest prince is back, stronger than ever!
The crown prince is about to be named the heir apparent!
This is simply turning one's hand to summon clouds, and the other to bring rain. The entire world and court are being played like a fiddle by the Emperor!
Everyone's heart was like a rollercoaster, going up and down, unable to calm down at all.
At this moment, Li Laoer gave Wen Yushi and Liu Zhiheng a look. Then, he knelt down first and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise! Congratulations to the Crown Prince for returning to the palace!"
Wen Yushi and Liu Zhiheng also quickly knelt down, shouting along, "The emperor is wise, congratulations to the prince for returning to the palace!"
Everyone was brought to their senses by the two cries. Seeing a smile on the Emperor and Crown Prince's faces in front of the dragon throne, they all secretly regretted their actions.
How could I be one step behind, letting Lao Er Li take all the credit
Then, in the blink of an eye, everyone in the court knelt down. Whether sincere or insincere, everyone put on an expression of astonishment.
"Your Majesty is wise! Congratulations to the Crown Prince for returning to the palace!"
"To have such an outstanding prince, truly it is Tian Wu's good fortune!"
"A glorious era of Tianwu, a promising future!"
Dingbei Hou shouted especially loudly, and even didn't forget to glare at Li Laoer fiercely.
He sought refuge with the emperor and became the blade used by the emperor to eliminate the empress dowager and the concubine.
I thought he was the most deserving, and would surely be favored by the Emperor in the future.
To everyone's surprise, Li Lao Er ended up stealing the spotlight in the end!
Li Lao'er lowered his head, humble and respectful, as if he couldn't feel the gazes of the people around him, whether they were overt or covert.
But soon, no one paid attention to him anymore.
After wielding the stick all morning, the emperor finally remembered to give everyone a sweet date.
"My lords, the Crown Prince has been away for some time and still hasn't chosen a bride. I intend to select a bride for him after the ceremony to officially make him Crown Prince."
"My esteemed lords, if any of your households possess a graceful and beautiful maiden, perhaps you would be willing to part with her!"
Everyone had been dizzy with confusion all morning, then suddenly this big pie woke them up.
Unlike ingratiating oneself with the Second Prince, which carried risks and required secrecy, this was straightforward.
Now that the emperor has established a prince and publicly announced the selection of a princess for him, it's as if he has paved a path to heaven for everyone.
As long as the daughter at home is capable enough and becomes the Crown Princess, she'll be a proper Empress in the future.
Mother of a nation!
The news that a woman of marriageable age had arrived in the household brought such joy to the officials that they almost jumped three feet high.
Even families without daughters quickly considered adopting one within the family, or even buying a few beautiful ones from outside and finding a ready-made father to dote on them...
"Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, we are honored."
“Yes, Your Majesty is farsighted. The Crown Prince getting married early will ensure the continuation of the royal line and bring stability to the Heavenly Martial Empire.”
In the court, a chorus of praises and accolades immediately arose.
The Crown Prince stood beside the dragon throne, listening quietly, a perfect smile gracing his lips. He neither spoke nor readily believed, playing the role of a calm and collected heir perfectly.
This also gave some old officials a few more points of goodwill.
Although he grew up among commoners, this prince doesn't look bad at all.
Soon, the Emperor announced the dispersal of court and then kept several high ministers in the Imperial Study to speak.
Besides the Six Ministers, there were also Dingbei Hou and Li La Er.
Although the Marquis of Dingbei was not well-liked, everyone had seen his prowess in battle just now.
But Li Lao Er seemed a little out of place among them.o amazing! It's so fast!" Mu Xu was the first to shout, reaching out to pet its three bushy tails, but Sanqiao dodged him.The Marquis laughed and said, "Indeed, San Tiao is really capable!"The little...
