Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

Chapter 251 Establishing a Crown Prince

The mask of the smiling fox was punctured, and even his entire body and soul were analyzed thoroughly from head to toe.

Xu Lanqi felt nervous and could no longer maintain her usual slick smile.

What on earth has changed into this little girl!

A girl who is only ten years old can see through people's hearts so clearly.

Few people in the court remembered the minor mistake that happened back then, nor would they see through his selfish motives because of it.

Bei Jingchu felt his eyes looking at her as if she was a monster, and finally felt relieved.

It is more comfortable to see the fearful look in the monster's eyes than to see the look of someone selecting goods.

She took a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat, and the hot water flowed down, and she felt a warmth in her chest.

After taking a break, she continued to break the psychological defenses of a certain old fox: "In fact, it's not that His Majesty can't see it, but he is deceiving himself and is unwilling to believe it."

"I guess you must have had a very good relationship in the academy back then."

Just like her and Nian'er.

"Since Aye's ascension to the throne was a bloody one, you must have gone through a lot of hardships. He may even put the guilt he felt for his other dead companion on you."

"As long as you don't touch his bottom line, he is unwilling to doubt you, examine you, or punish you."

Bei Jingchu sighed.

Aye always dislikes her for being soft-hearted.

But when it comes to people he considers important, such as Xu Lanqi, he is clearly soft-hearted.

"The Xu family now has a minister of the imperial court, and Xu Shaoqing has also been made a marquis."

"When prosperity reaches its limit, it must decline; when success is too great, it will shock the ruler."

"You should know how dangerous it is to go any further."

"So, I can't promise to give you anything."

"Of course, I won't ask the Minister of the Central Secretariat to help me with anything."

"But if His Majesty makes any important decision, I hope you won't get carried away and become the one who holds him back."

He finally learned his lesson and made his position clear: "Of course, I will always follow your Majesty's will."

Bei Jingchu smiled with satisfaction and said no more. She asked Haoyue to call the actors in and continued listening to the music.

If you end up scaring others, you will get punished.

Xu Lanqi began to scare her: "Your Highness, do you think my boy Xu Chengzhou is qualified to be your principal wife?"

"Puff!" The tea in her throat sprayed out.

Xu Lanqi was still promoting her own son without any conscience: "I will definitely teach him well and teach him to have the bearing of a principal wife. I will never be jealous and prevent Your Highness from finding someone else to be happy."

"..."

"I will also make sure he maintains a pure yang body and strictly observes male ethics."

"..."

"She will also make sure he keeps in good shape. So, Your Highness, do you prefer men who are more graceful or more muscular?"

"..."

"If it really doesn't work, I can have her as a concubine, but she has to have a status, right?"

"...Haoyue, show the guest out!"

The Zhongshu Ling who was kicked out was prying through the crack of the door, still begging: "Your Highness, please give me a chance, Your Highness, my boy is still good-looking, Your Highness!"

......

Bei Jingchu interviewed several important officials who she thought might cause trouble one by one in the past few days.

All actions were not concealed from the emperor.

When she was finally ready, she entered the imperial study and said solemnly to her father, "Your Majesty, I am ready."

[Ready to take a step that has never been taken before, spanning thousands of years and several dynasties.]

[Ready to set the first precedent. ]

[Be prepared to face the inherent prejudice and prove to the world that ability is more important than gender. ]

[I am also ready to be the leader of a dynasty. 】

The emperor above smiled slightly, without judging the child's bold words, but as an old father he said: "When you are ready, go to bed. You will know the result in the court tomorrow morning."

"...Okay."

Early morning on the second day.

The ministers, as usual, stood drowsily on both sides.

After all, I have to get up before dawn and don’t need to eat breakfast to prevent diarrhea.

There is basically nothing big to do every day. Most of the time it's just some trivial details and the summary reports from three provinces and six ministries.

After completing the day's routine, everyone was looking forward to leaving court early and having a good rest.

Only some important officials who had been interviewed were a little nervous, and it seemed that the court was calm before a storm.

The emperor sitting high gave a look to his male version of Jie Yuhua, and Xu Lanqi walked out reluctantly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Now that the royal heirs have grown up, in order to ensure the stability of the country, I propose to establish a crown prince."

A thunderous cry woke up all the sleepy court officials.

Are you playing so big today?

Some sensitive people noticed that it was the heir to the throne, not the prince.

Many people secretly observed the emperor's expression, and saw the emperor asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any suggestions, my dear minister?"

Xu Lanqi was speechless. Old or young, they had to pick on him alone, right?

He could only bite the bullet and recommend: "I think that the move of appointing a crown prince is nothing more than appointing the eldest son, the eldest son, or the most capable one."

"The Central Palace has been empty for a long time, so it is time for Chang Hexian to come and discuss."

"Among the princes, the third prince should be the oldest, but the sixth prince is more talented."

The confused courtiers who were just watching the show said: I am listening to your words, just like listening to your words.

You seem to be talking nonsense.

His Majesty asks you who is better, and you say this one is good and that one is good.

But the following sentence made them drop their jaws.

"It's hard for both of them to be perfect, but Princess Tianwu is both older and more virtuous."

"He became famous at a young age, cleaned up the government, and came up with many extraordinary strategies."

"I think the princess is the best choice."

The entire hall was silent for a long while; even the sound of the wind outside echoed in.

Then the atmosphere started to boil, and someone in the back even said excitedly, "Are you crazy?"

After saying this, Xu Lanqi immediately returned to the queue and resolutely refused to say another word.

This father and daughter should have some conscience and not let him do everything.

Someone directly came out to accuse Xu Lanqi: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Central Secretariat spoke nonsense in the court and disrespected the emperor's authority. He should be punished!"

In the end, few people agreed with him. A slightly hoarse female voice sounded: "Your Highness, Xu Xinshu, the Junior Secretary of the Sinology Department seconded the request of the Minister of the Central Secretariat."

"Your Highness, the Minister of the Central Secretariat Tong Huai'en seconded the motion."

"Your Majesty, the Military Equipment Supervisor Zhou Huanjiu seconded the motion."

"Your Majesty, the Langzhong Bei Qin of the Ministry of Personnel seconded the motion."

"Your Highness, I, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Enfeoffment, Guo Yang, second this motion."

"Your Highness, I am the chief priest of Hongwen..."

Everyone knelt down first.

After the emperor showed his approval, a number of important officials also knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this is General Lei Ning of the Jinwu Guard..."

"Your Highness, the Minister of Chancellery..."

"minister,......"

"..."

The entire court situation was almost one-sided.

Bei Jingchu watched all this.

This was the day she had finally arrived at after a long period of preparation and careful planning.

The right time, the right place, and the right people are all in place.

Overwhelmingly break through all obstacles and become the one that everyone expects.

This way, she can sit on it steadily.

If we fail this time, we will alert the enemy, and then the situation will decline the next time and eventually fail.
