Chapter 826: I was fooled. I was waiting here.
"Father, I think the Crown Prince's funeral should be higher than that of my fourth brother!"
The Third Prince said in a deep voice: "After all, he is the Lord of the East Palace, and the level of his funeral is incomparable."
"As for Concubine De's funeral, I think it should be the same as my fourth brother's, so it would be most appropriate for them both to be buried at the same time."
"When Concubine De was alive, she loved my fourth brother the most. If we can be buried together, we can still be mother and son in the future."
The words were well-reasoned and made the emperor very satisfied.
I didn’t look at the wrong person!
Among all the princes, the third one is as talented as the fourth and sixth.
Thinking of the sixth brother, the emperor couldn't help but glance at him and found that he lowered his head, looking like he didn't want to talk, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Although the sixth brother is quite talented, unfortunately he is the sixth brother and is not as good as the third brother in terms of name and seniority.
The position of the East Palace must belong to the third brother.
The emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at the ministers, and asked loudly: "My dear ministers, what do you think of the third brother's arrangement?"
Everyone was silent.
They are not fools, how could they not know that the emperor was actually asking Chu Ning.
In the confrontation over the position of Vice Minister of War just now, the Third Prince was at a disadvantage, and the Emperor wanted to help the Third Prince to regain the upper hand.
For a moment, everyone looked at Chu Ning.
But Chu Ning had a blank expression on his face: "Father, since this matter has been handed over to my third brother, why bother asking everyone? Just let my third brother make the decision."
The third prince took a step back. There was no need to make things difficult for the other party on this matter.
What's more, this involves death, and he doesn't want to be involved in such matters.
Besides, he has more important things to do.
After the three princes are buried, there will definitely be a fight for the crown prince.
With so many princes, it is impossible that only the third prince will take action. The others will definitely take action as well.
From now on, it all depends on your own ability, but there are some things that he must arrange in advance.
It was just right that while the Third Prince was dealing with the funeral, he could finish what he needed to do earlier.
While deep in thought, the emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Ning, with a look of surprise on his face.
I didn't expect that this kid didn't make any trouble. Could it be that he knew that I supported the third brother, so he backed down?
But this is not like Chu Ning's character!
Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things, let’s settle this matter as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Since everyone has no objection, this matter is settled!"
"It's summer now, the bodies of the prince and others cannot be kept for too long, they must be buried in three days!"
After saying this, the emperor waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, please leave the court."
Everyone was about to bow and leave, but Chu Ning suddenly said, "Father, I have something else to ask."
The emperor's mouth twitched.
I knew this guy wouldn't give up.
The emperor frowned and asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"
Chu Ning said sternly, "Now that the Crown Prince is dead, the Crown Princess can't just ignore him. Now that she is alone guarding the East Palace, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
I suggest that Crown Princess Ling Feiyan move out of the East Palace and return to the Ling family."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Third Prince's face changed drastically.
I didn't expect that this bastard Chu Ning actually thought so far ahead. Even Ling Feiyan was tricked by him.
Tai knew that the Crown Prince was dead, and under normal circumstances, it was impossible for the Crown Princess to survive alone.
In serious cases, the victim will be buried alive with his father, and in the worst case, the victim will be banished to the cold palace and not allowed to marry again.
After all, she is a woman of the royal family. Even if the prince dies, it is impossible for another man to defile her.
So, no matter which situation it is, Ling Feiyan will have a hard time in the second half of her life.
Letting Ling Feiyan move out of the palace now is to prepare a way out for her. When Ling Haoran returns to Kyoto City, she can take the opportunity to win over the other party.
In the past, although Ling Haoran was a neutral party, he at least helped the prince.
If Chu Ning helps Ling Feiyan escape from the deep palace this time, the Ling family will owe Chu Ning a huge favor.
No wonder Chu Ning didn't raise any objections just now, it turned out that he was setting his sights on Ling Feiyan.
But he couldn't stop it!
If he tried to stop him and Ling Haoran found out, both sides would become enemies.
But if he went with the flow, although he wouldn't offend Ling Haoran and the Ling family, it would allow Chu Ning to gain an advantage.
It's really a dilemma.
Chu Ning, this bastard, has given me a difficult problem!
It’s not right to block it, and it’s not right not to block it!
The third prince became angrier the more he thought about it.
Just at this moment, Chu Ning turned around and asked righteously, "Third brother, what do you think of my suggestion?"
The third prince's mouth twitched.
This bastard is so cunning that he actually asked for my opinion in public. Isn't this pushing me to death?
"Third brother? Third brother?"
Chu Ning spread out his five fingers and waved his hand in front of the Third Prince, and the Third Prince came back to his senses.
"Why is Third Brother silent?"
The Third Prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Eighteenth Brother, this matter is of great importance. It is not for you and me to decide. Let's see what Father thinks."
"According to the rules of our dynasty, the Crown Princess should be buried alive with the prince, but the Crown Prince is young now. If he is buried alive, I am afraid that the Ling family will feel resentment."
As he spoke, the Third Prince turned to look at the Emperor and said in a deep voice, "Father, please make the decision on this matter!"
The emperor was very pleased with his humble and submissive look.
The best thing to do at this moment is not to answer Chu Ning's question.
By throwing the problem to me, it's because you want to use my help to deal with this matter, so that all the credit won't go to Chu Ning alone.
The emperor looked at the Third Prince with admiration and then nodded slightly: "The Crown Princess is young, so she will not be buried alive with him."
"Besides, I have just recalled Ling Haoran, so I naturally have to be gracious to the Ling family. Just follow Chu Ning's instructions and let the Crown Princess return to the Ling family."
"However, her status as the Crown Princess has been revoked from now on and she can no longer use it."
"After the Crown Prince is buried, she can return to the Ling family. She can take anything from the Eastern Palace with her."
After saying this, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Dismiss the court!"
He didn't give Chu Ning any chance to speak and turned and left.
"Your Majesty, we respectfully send you off!" All the ministers bowed.
After the emperor left, Chu Ning looked at the third prince, bowed slowly and left.
The third prince stared at Chu Ning's departing back, a cold look flashing in his eyes.
In today's confrontation, it can be said that he did not gain any advantage.
I thought I could use the name of today's emperor to intimidate the court, but I never expected that it would be ruined by Chu Ning.
The 100,000-strong army from Liangzhou was so surprising.
However, this matter must be verified. If it is discovered that Chu Ning is exaggerating, Chu Ning will be ruined and will completely lose the qualification to compete for the position of crown prince.
Thinking of this, a hint of amusement appeared on the corner of the Third Prince's mouth, and he muttered to himself:
"This time, I will definitely defeat you. As long as you can become the crown prince, everything you have will belong to me!"
At this moment, the third prince became murderous.
Chu Ning has too much power and too many soldiers and horses. If they all fall into his hands, he will take over not only the crown prince but even the throne!
Everything will be done after the three princes are buried!
The most urgent task is to bury the prince and others first.
