Their Highnesses finally came back from the border, can't they live a peaceful life in peace?
But Yu Jingdu's expression was the same, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
In the early morning of that day, someone raised the matter of setting up a reserve to the emperor.
The general rhetoric is that the crown prince was abolished, and now the position of the crown prince is vacant, and it is necessary to establish a reserve as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the society.
The emperor agreed with this statement, and symbolically solicited their opinions.
The courtiers spoke righteously and sternly one by one, and in the end, it was said that King Yan was worthy of a great responsibility.
Even if there are people who are not optimistic about Yu Jingdu, they will not demolish the platform in front of him at this time.
What's more, from before the crown prince was deposed, the emperor's attitude was very clear, and he always took a fancy to King Yan.
Those who are interested even saw some clues in the crown ceremony at Jingdu last year.
In addition, the case of the private army camp was handled by His Royal Highness Yan Wang himself, and the emperor's attitude was already obvious.
More importantly, Yu Jingdu now has no opponent in the court.
The other adult princes, no matter what they thought, at least didn't show any intention to fight for the reserve. After all, if you want to be the heir, in addition to the emperor's fancy, you must have some achievements and connections in the court to be able to convince the public. It is impossible for a prince to have no skills at all, and suddenly one day he will jump out and become the prince, right?
Take Yu Jingdu as an example. In the past twenty years, he has indeed been dormant, and he has never shown any intention of fighting for reserves. Even before he returned to Beijing last year, in the hearts of Baiguan, he was an unfavored prince. Not to mention that he was so ill in the winter that he almost lost his life, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like someone who was qualified to compete with the prince.
But his victory lies in his military exploits, which are all in exchange for his life.
Therefore, after the prince's incidents occurred one after another, he was logically the best candidate for the next prince.
And the other princes in the court, let alone military merit, are not even able to do errands beautifully in the court. It's not necessarily that they are incompetent, but that the emperor had previously identified the prince and did not want them to have unreasonable thoughts, so he did not give others a chance to gain a foothold in the court.
Only Yu Jingdu can be considered unintentionally inserting willows and willows...
This is probably one of the most gratifying things for the emperor.
In the end, there is no conclusion about the establishment of the reserve.
Yu Jingdu was no exception to this. The prince had just been abolished, so it was reasonable to postpone this matter.
But according to the emperor's way of doing things, it should not wait too long.
After leaving the morning court, Yu Jingdu went to Fu'an Palace to change the court clothes.
This palace was where he lived temporarily after he entered the capital. Now, although he has returned to the palace, the emperor has not let anyone move here. That means Yu Jingdu can go back to the palace at any time if he wants to.
This is the only honor among the crown princes.
"His Royal Highness, Jiang Shaoqing asks to see you." The palace servant came to report.
"Let him in."
When the palace servants heard the words, they hurriedly went to spread the word, and Jiang Jiyan came in not long after.
He first saluted Yu Jingdu, and then said straight to the point: "I heard that Your Majesty has only confined the Fourth Prince in the East Palace, and he has no plans to have them moved out for the time being?"
"The queen is seriously ill, so it's not good to rush people to guard the imperial mausoleum?" Yu Jingdu said.
"But the fourth prince has been imprisoned in the East Palace before, so what's the difference between being abolished and not being abolished?" Jiang Jiyan said angrily.
Yu Jingdu raised his eyebrows, "Of course there's a difference, only if it's scrapped can it be re-established."
"His Royal Highness." Jiang Jiyan said: "You didn't know that you were not in the capital before. Your Majesty has always been quite condone to the Crown Prince. He has made a big mistake now, and His Majesty is really angry. , what if your Majesty's anger goes away after a long time?"
"Besides, there is also a queen in the palace. When the mother and son join forces, are you worried that Your Majesty will not be soft-hearted?" Jiang Jiyan seemed to really have an opinion on the emperor's arrangement. However, his identity was inconvenient even to give advice to the emperor. After all, the other party knew that he belonged to Yu Jingdu.
So he had no choice but to be in a hurry.
"You and I can't do anything about this." Yu Jingdu said, "It's a big taboo for him to hoard private soldiers, but after all his soldiers haven't moved. No matter how angry your Majesty is, he won't really kill people. There is a reputation for murder in the history books."
"Is that the case?" Jiang Jiyan asked.
"Unless he does something like forcing the palace, His Majesty will not kill him." Yu Jingdu said.
Jiang Jiyan sighed, only to feel very annoyed in his heart.
But he also knew in his heart that there was no other way but to endure it.
"By the way, Jiang Jiyan." Yu Jingdu suddenly said sternly: "You are older than this king, why haven't you been married?"
"I..." Jiang Jiyan glanced at Li Feng blankly, meaning what happened to His Highness today, why would you ask this?
However, Li Feng was also at a loss and did not give him any explanation.
"The subordinates are used to being comfortable, and there are no parents around to help Zhang Luo, so naturally it is delayed." Jiang Jiyan said.
"Oh, isn't there some hidden disease?"
Jiang Jiyan frowned and glanced at him with a very complicated expression.
"It's not the best." Yu Jingdu said: "Another day, let someone hold a tea tasting party or a poetry party, invite some famous ladies from the capital, and then you will see each other, maybe there is a girl who will I can see you."
"Your Highness...why do you start worrying about this?" Jiang Jiyan's face collapsed.
His father didn't urge him, and His Royal Highness Yan Wang didn't know which play he was singing!
"It's nothing, it's pitiful to see you alone." Yu Jingdu glanced at Li Feng after he said, "And you."
Li Feng: ...
What's the matter with me?
Yu Jingdu packed up and left Fu'an Palace, leaving the two of them looking at each other.
