Chapter 1622: The Crown Prince of Great Shang dies, and the Shang Emperor appoints an Empress Chapter 1622: The Crown Prince of Great Shang dies, and the Shang Emperor appoints an Empress At the thought of this, he made a decision.
Pretending to be relaxed, he asked,” You’re not young anymore.
If you were in an ordinary family, how old would your child be?
Great Shang is so big and has countless young and talented people.
Is there anyone you like?”
Shang Qingxuan’s delicate body trembled.
She didn’t think that her father would actually bring this up.
With her intelligence, she understood the deeper meaning behind these words.
…
It seemed like she was asking, but in reality, she had no choice.
With the deaths of Fu Qi and the Grand Preceptor, two of the three dukes were missing, leaving only Grand Preceptor Shi Daolong to choose one of his three sons for marriage.
Based on his past performance, Shi Daolong’s eldest son, Shi Yuanyao, was a dragon among men in terms of temperament, ability, cultivation, and character.
He was impeccable and had a high enough status to match him.
The moment she married into the Shi family, they would be tied to the ship of Great Shang.
The royal family would be as stable as Mount Tai.
No matter how chaotic the internal situation was, they would not be able to shake the royal family’s position.
He wasn’t afraid of their ambitions.
Firstly, he had his own abilities.
Both Shi Daolong and Shi Yuanyao had to be wary of him.
Once he married into the Shi family, it would be like a nail piercing into his throat.
Secondly, the terrifying foundation of the royal family could be removed even if there was a rebellious bone in the brain.
In the past, when the situation was not so chaotic, his father would never ask about his marriage.
Now that the external threat was getting bigger and bigger, he wanted to marry and unite the various parties as soon as possible before sending an army to destroy the small countries in the eastern and southern borders.
He felt bitter in his heart.
He thought that this day would never come, but he did not expect it to come.
As the Shang Emperor, Little Mianyao would only share the pressure for her father and not make things difficult for him.
She would then take on the responsibility of strengthening Great Shang.
“Father, I’ll let you decide!” She reached out her jade-like hand and stroked her hair.
The Shang Emperor felt guilty.
He wanted to compensate her and asked,”What do you want?”Â
Shang Qingxuan pretended to be relaxed, a warm smile hanging on her face.
The more it was like this, the more uncomfortable the Shang Emperor felt.
He nodded and did not say anything else.
He remembered it in his heart and waited for compensation in the future.
Then, he said,” Let’s go back to the royal study.”
At this point.
The Shang Emperor sat on the dragon throne and asked her to stand at the side.
Since he had decided to appoint Shang Changhe as the Crown Prince, he had to plan ahead and could not hide it from her.
In the future, he would still need her help to let his nephew sit on the throne.
He asked,” How is the Third Prince’s Changhe?”
“Father, you want to make him the Crown Prince?”
” Your royal brothers are not capable enough.
If you make them the crown prince, you will only harm them.
Looking at the royal descendants, other than this little guy who barely passed, the rest are all the same.” The Shang Emperor sighed.
” It’s a pity that you’re a woman.
Otherwise, Imperial Father would be at ease if Great Shang was handed over to you!”
Shang Qingxuan had never thought of it this way before.
After learning of her father’s intentions, her heart warmed and she was moved.
She evaluated,” Changhe is brave and resourceful.
He knows how to endure and is a steady person.
If he is nurtured, he will definitely be a wise ruler of a generation.”
The Shang Emperor nodded and ordered,”Ask the Grand Tutor to come over.”Â
Eunuch Shang walked outside.
After a while, he brought the Grand Tutor in.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”Shi Daolong bowed.
“Give me a seat,” the Shang Emperor said.
After he sat down, he said.
“Qingxuan isn’t young anymore.
If she continues to drag this on, she’ll miss out on her youth, and it’ll be even more difficult for her to marry a suitable husband.
Do you have any suitable candidates?”
Such a simple thing could be understood by anyone.
Shi Daolong was even more far-sighted.
The Emperor did not give him a chance to reject his offer.
It was obvious that he was here for his eldest son, Shi Yuanyao.
The other two sons were not worthy of the Ninth Princess.
The price of rejection was that the Shi family would be far away from the royal court.
The benefits he received from agreeing were many.
With the help of the royal family’s power, he soared into the sky and became the largest aristocratic family after the founding of the country.
As if there was a spring installed under his buttocks, he quickly stood up and said in a serious manner,” He doesn’t avoid relatives when he’s recommended internally, and he doesn’t avoid suspicion when he’s recommended externally.
In the entire capital, no one in the younger generation is more outstanding than Yuanyuan.”
He paused for a moment before continuing.
“This old minister is thick-skinned enough to propose marriage on behalf of Yuanyuan.
I beg Your Majesty to marry the ninth princess to him!”
“Qingxuan, what do you think?” The Shang Emperor asked pretentiously.
“It’s all up to Father!”
“Let the Ministry of Rites come up with a suitable regulation tomorrow,”the Shang Emperor said.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”Shi Daolong bowed.
Just as the Shang Emperor was about to ask him to leave and continue discussing the matter of the generals in the Northern Wilderness camp, Eunuch Zhu’s urgent voice came from outside.” Your Majesty, something big has happened.”
The Shang Emperor’s expression turned cold as he secretly guessed.
Could it be that the strongest expert from the Great Wilderness Plains had invaded the northern border?
“Come in,” he said in a deep voice.
The door of the palace was pushed open.
Eunuch Zhu came in and closed it again.
He quickly walked forward and stopped three steps away from the imperial platform.
He reported,” Just now, Prince Changhe was poisoned to death!”
Boom!
The Shang Emperor was thoroughly enraged.
He had just decided to make him the crown prince, but before he could issue the decree, Shang Changhe had died.
The problem did not lie with them.
Only he, Qingxuan, and Eunuch Shang knew about this.
He first ruled out the possibility and speculated that the mastermind had long planned this.
He had calculated that he would not choose a candidate from the princes to be the crown prince and get rid of the most likely heir.
With the death of Shang Changhe, the ones who benefited were the princes!
The third son was eliminated first.
A vicious tiger would not eat its cubs.
Although the Crown Prince was not him, he was his son.
He would ascend the throne with Shang Changhe in the future.
Although he did not have any power, he would be able to enjoy wealth and no one would dare to provoke him.
The murderer was among them!
Even though the Northern Wilderness Camp, the Grand Preceptor, and the others had been destroyed, they were not as angry as they were now.
They immediately issued an order.” Seal the Third Prince’s mansion.
Other than the couple, capture everyone else.
We will interrogate them and find out who is behind this.”
