Chapter 304
Chapter 304
The next morning on their morning court, the emperor announced a few things directly.
"Yu Fuyun led his army to take the three cities namely; Beimeng, Tuli, and Lunta City as well as Lunta River."
"Daqi and Northern Yan had reached a peace agreement, and Wang Jilin the left minister of the Ministry of Rites is sent as an envoy together with two envoys of Northern Yan with the letter of the peace agreement of the two countries to King of Yan."
"Marriage is given to the Second Prince of Yan to Third Princess Changning and Princess Yingluo."
"And this emperor will establish Gu Zhen, the sixth prince as the crown prince."
Every word of the emperor resounded in everyone's ears like a thunderbolt in the sky as each of those words was of great importance that even if they were said separately, it was enough to shake the court.
And instantly an uproar could be heard in the Jinluan Hall.
All the ministers were dumbfounded by the first announcement made by the emperor and immediately had countless doubts such as when did Yu Fuyun went to northern Xinjiang, or what were the terms of the peace talks between the two countries and how could the emperor make the third princess and Princess Yingluo marry Second Prince Yelu.

But these shocking events were not as shocking as the last sentence the emperor brought to them. The emperor actually planned to make the sixth prince the crown prince so suddenly!
After a brief shock, all the ministers came back to their senses with different expressions, some were in disbelief, some were bewildered, some disapproves while others did not give much opinion and some immediately stood up from the line and expresses their objections one after another.
"Your Majesty, the emperor, the sixth prince is young, and there is a saying that the country should not establish a young ruler, please think twice before acting your majesty, the emperor."
"Your Majesty, what Minister Zuo said is very true. The Sixth Prince is only six years old, so it is really difficult for him to take on a big responsibility."
"This minister seconded."
Among the ministers who object, some simply thought that the emperor's move of establishing the sixth prince as the crown prince was too hasty, while some of those were supporters of the second prince. Thinking that after the second prince busied himself with the Northern Yan peace talk that has now suddenly concluded, and how the second prince was ordered to confine in his palace for self-examination, they all concluded that he must have made a big mistake during the peace talks.
Now that the second prince's situation was obviously disadvantageous, and the emperor suddenly wanted to establish a crown prince, no matter what, they need to delay this.
Moreover, the Daqi Dynasty paid more attention to capabilities first, among the previous generations of emperors, four surpassed their sons to sit on the throne.
The emperor sat with his expression unchanged on the high imperial throne hall, he was neither surprised nor angry or outraged.

It wasn't until these ministers finished speaking did the emperor in front of them asked indifferently and rhetorically, "Is this emperor going to die?"
"......."
"....."
"....."
This short question from the emperor made the whole hall silent and stood in awe.
Who dares to answer?!
As the emperor said, he was still alive, and the crown prince was only a crown prince, what young ruler were they talking about?!
However, even so, many courtiers still feel it was inappropriate.
After all, the sixth prince was too young, and it was not uncommon in history that people who were "younger, may not be good". Now if the sixth prince was established as the crown prince and was deemed inappropriate in the future, and would be abolished from the title it would cause turmoil in the court, and even cause a grudge between the new crown prince and the sixth prince in the future!

With this in thought, another seven to eight courtiers jumped out of the line.
"The health of the emperor's dragon body is a blessing to Daqi, so the matter of establishing a crown prince should not be rushed. Why don't we discuss it in the long run?"
"Lord Chen is right. His royal highness the sixth prince is still young so it is better to wait for his highness to grow up in a few years, by then it will still be not too late to establish a crown prince again!"
"....."
And once again the Jinluan Hall was in chaos.
The matter of establishing a crown prince was related to the lifeline of the country, so even if some ministers had important things to report, they set aside their report for now, after all, compared with the matter of establishing a crown prince, other things were nothing.
The morning court for this day did not have a break until noon.
However, chaos was not only heard in the court but also in the harem.
