Chapter 550: Emperor's Appearance
Ever since, the battle for the crown hadn't even started yet, and the king of Zhijun, who had the most fun jumping around, was directly out of the game.
When the officials saw that Kangxi had no intention of establishing the Prince of Zhizhi as the crown prince, they were secretly delighted.
After all, Zhijun Wang has only a few supporters in total.
The rest are all Eighth Master's supporters.
Of course, there are still some loyal ministers of the prince.
I want to find an opportunity to rehabilitate the prince.
In addition, some officials secretly support the elder brother next to him, but they don't show the truth.
At this moment, King Zhijun was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack to get in.
He originally thought that what happened yesterday was just over.
Who knows that today, Kangxi announced his affairs to the public in front of everyone.
He is shameless...
However, compared to face, what hurts him the most now is that he can no longer compete with other princes for the crown prince.
In the past, he always had a kind of enigmatic self-confidence, thinking that he was more qualified to be the crown prince than the prince.
When the crown prince was deposed, he firmly believed that he would be the heir apparent.
Now Kangxi's words have put his dream into a state of eternal doom!
At this moment, his dream of being an emperor was completely shattered...
But even so, he could only stand among the officials, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
As if Kangxi was not talking about him, the contemptuous smiles on the corners of everyone's mouths were not because of him.
Indifferent on the surface, only he knows in his heart how painful and chaotic his heart is...
People say that the heart of a woman is the needle of the sea.
The emperor's mind is even more difficult to guess.
If the guess is not good, maybe the black hat is gone, and the life is gone.
I saw several officials secretly gesticulating with Ba Ye's eyes.
But Baye, who was wearing a dark blue official uniform, stood there calmly.
His facial features are well-defined and deep, and his dark and deep eyes are very gentle, and he doesn't express much.
I don't know what code words he typed, but then several officials recommended him to Kangxi.
"Your majesty, since the king of Zhijun cannot be the heir apparent, the eighth master is good at riding and shooting, he is kind and easy-going, considerate and meticulous in his dealings with others, I think... the eighth master is the best candidate for the crown prince."
"Ba Ye is gentle and refined, and he doesn't stick to rules and status, so I also think that Ba Ye is the most suitable."
"Your Majesty, Ba Ye has always been conscientious and conscientious in his work, never sloppy, he has great ability, but he is never arrogant or boastful. He is smart and capable, has both ability and political integrity, and is the best among the princes."
so and so...
It was the first time for Kangxi to listen to so many ministers praising Ba Ye in front of him.
He could hear a casual smile on his face.
It's just that those experienced eyes flashed a sharpness that had never been seen before.
And this sharp edge, no one else saw it.
Especially Ba Ye, he has been so praised that he is dizzy.
Only the fourth master can see the subtle and imperceptible sharpness in Kangxi's eyes.
Seeing that the voice of the eighth master was overwhelmingly high, several important officials secretly cast a look at the fourth master.
But fourth master stood still, his eyes always looking straight ahead, without a hint of expression.
Because he was not sure whether Kangxi really wanted to choose a crown prince.
In case it was just to test everyone's tone, but everyone recommended the prince again.
Then, the recommended prince would be finished.
After all, Kangxi was still sitting on it healthy and healthy.
The deposed prince is still alive and well in the clan mansion.
But so many courtiers praised his other son so much that an emperor couldn't bear it.
Therefore, he would rather be cautious than take a wrong step.
Otherwise, if you take a wrong step, you will make a wrong step and there will be no turning back.
Those officials, seeing that the fourth master didn't say anything, didn't dare to make good claims, so they had to give up.
At this moment, King Zhijun also followed suit and said: "Huang Ama, Zhang Mingde, the face-to-face person, once said that the eighth younger brother is rich, spiritual and elegant, benevolent and friendly, has a long life, sincerity and honor, and there will be great honor in the future !"
He has always believed in superstition, otherwise he would not have a close relationship with the lama.
Now that he has lost the chance to compete for reserves, he has to make a living for the future.
Otherwise, he is the eldest son and has made great military exploits.
In the future, when someone else ascends the throne, the custody will be the first to make fun of him.
But Ba Ye is different. When he was a child, Ba Ye was raised under Concubine Hui's lap, and grew up with him when he was young.
If he chooses the right Ba Ye, at least he won't end up too badly in the future.
Maybe he can still rely on this relationship to become a prince and make a fortune.
For a moment, everyone cast surprised glances at King Zhijun.
Only fourth master frowned imperceptibly.
No matter what you say, you have to talk about appearance.
I don't know that Huang Ama has always hated public opinion that is miraculous.
Sure enough, Kangxi's pupils became cold and sharp, and there was a tight smile on his face.
This topic was brought up by him, and everyone followed his ideas, but not his wishes.
Therefore, even if he was furious in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face.
He just said majesticly: "I know what you mean, if the eighth elder brother is really capable, then... I will consider it as appropriate."
As soon as these words came out, Ba Ye's face was as gentle as usual.
He always felt that everything was too sudden.
And those who pursued him were very happy.
"Play if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!" Liang Jiugong said sharply.
Seeing that there was no one to report, Kangxi got up, swung the cuffs of his wide dragon robe, and strode away.
After going down the court, the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony are very lively.
Most of them congratulated the eighth master.
Faced with these, Ba Ye smiled and thanked them one by one.
At this time, fourth master and third elder brother were walking together.
The third master glanced at the eighth master who was surrounded by officials behind him, and asked, "Fourth, is there really such a thing as the appearance of an emperor?"
Fourth Master smiled lightly, and said: "It's not that you don't know, elder brother has always been superstitious, and this kind of thing is better believed to exist than not believed."
Speaking of this, he looked around and leaned closer to the third master's ear, "Brother is still superstitious in witchcraft, and there is a lama living in the house all year round."
"I thought you were going to talk about a secret. It's nothing new that the elder brother has a close relationship with the lama." The third master shook his head.
But as soon as he said the words, he seemed to think of something, and the expression on his face froze for a moment.
He didn't think much about it at first, but now that he was reminded by fourth master, he suddenly realized.
He patted Fourth Master on the shoulder and said, "Fourth Brother, I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you for now."
Fourth master glanced at the shoulder being patted, then raised his head to look at third master who had already walked away quickly.
The corners of the cool lips raised an imperceptible arc.
He ordered without any emotion: "Su Peisheng, ask someone to prepare a carriage and go home."
"Hey." Su Peisheng responded swiftly.
About half an hour later, fourth master returned home in a carriage.
He is an unusual man, thinking differently from others.
On weekdays, as soon as he returned home, he would go to the study.
