Chapter 270: Conferring the King
It is not easy to get rid of the prince.
Now, after several compromises and concessions, the power of the Eastern Palace has been expanding. The current prince is no longer the same as before. Not to mention that he is no longer the useless prince who was ignored back then. Even when he was just in charge of the country, he had only one name, and the current prince is already full of wings.
It’s not the one she and her father can get rid of as soon as they want, but the crown prince who can really influence the foundation of the empire in every move.
But...so what?
Zhao Qinglan looked directly at Li Chen without retreating at all.
She knew that it would be fine if she didn't do this, but once she did it, she would never retreat.
Li Chen was also looking at Zhao Qinglan.
His calm eyes were as bright as the abyss without any slight slightest, as dark as ink, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, Li Chen smiled.
This smile made the almost solidified air in Xizheng Hall start to flow again, just like the frozen earth ushering in spring and flowers blooming, and everything returns to normal.
"It seems that after the ninth prince, the queen has found another more suitable candidate."
Zhao Qinglan said with a tense face and said firmly: "Although the emperor has many descendants, not many survive until adulthood. It is your father's wish to train a few brothers earlier to help the future emperor. The prince is kind-hearted and as a brother, so he can't block his younger brother's way forward?"
"Of course I won't stop it."
Li Chen said lightly: "Isn't it just a king? Yes, I agree."
Without waiting for Zhao Qinglan to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Chen said again: "But the title cannot be the King of Wu."
Just kidding, when Taizu rose up, he was appeased by the previous dynasty before ascending the throne. The one who was granted the title of King of Wu was so consecrated since the Qin Dynasty that the prince who was granted the title of King of Wu could count with one hand.
How could Li Chen give such a meaningful title?
"Just give the title of King Zhao, and the title of Zhao. As for the placement of fiefs, what if you make arrangements for such major matters in the future?"
When Zhao Qinglan heard the title of King Zhao, he frowned and wanted to object.
But before Zhao Qinglan could speak, he heard him say, "I have decided."
Zhao Qinglan's words were blocked when she said something. She paused, thinking that if he could be granted a title, as long as he could be granted a king, the purpose of this trip would have been achieved.
The most important thing is to force the prince into a hurry, and she couldn't guarantee that Li Chen would do anything. After thinking about it, Zhao Qinglan said, "Yes, since the prince also agreed, let the officials immediately tell them."
"OK."
Li Chen's pleasure made Zhao Qinglan even think that there would be something wrong with this matter.
But looking at Li Chen's smiling face without any dissatisfaction or viciousness, Zhao Qinglan felt that he was thinking too much.
After all, the matter was brought up by himself. No matter how you look at the eighth prince Li Yinhu, it would not be harmful to him or her. It would be beneficial to the prince.
She could only attribute it to the prince's helplessness and deliberately made free and easy appearance to appear decent.
Just as Zhao Qinglan was thinking, Li Chen had already stood up and opened the palace gate of Xizheng Palace.
Outside the door, everyone is still there.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Looking at the person kneeling on the ground, Li Chen said lightly: "Go and notify the clans of the clan to ask the lord to come, and take the eunuch Bingbi with him to serve him, and then call all the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet in Beijing to visit Xizheng Hall for an audience."
