Chapter 265 Recommended Candidates

When Li Chengze walked into the imperial study, he felt that the atmosphere there was something wrong.

Especially when seeing the looks of the eldest and the third brother.

They all lowered their heads with ugly looks on their faces.

Logically speaking, Li Chengru and Li Chengping should not have behaved like this even when being reprimanded by Emperor Qing.

Could it be that something big happened here just before he came?
Thinking of this, Li Chengze immediately looked at their clothes.

There were traces of folds on the trouser legs of Li Chengru and Li Chengping.

It seems that they must have knelt down before.

Just as Li Chengze was lost in thought, Emperor Qing in front of him immediately spoke:

"Second brother, you are here."

After hearing the voice, Li Chengze immediately came back to his senses, bowed and said, "Father."

"I wonder if there is something important that the emperor has summoned me to do?"

Emperor Qing sat up straight with a smile on his face, and placed all the tools in his hands on the table.

Then he smiled and said, "It's nothing serious."

"It's just that I've recently felt that it's been a long time since our family has been together, and we haven't had a family dinner for a long time."

"So I asked you three to come over and have a good chat."

Although Emperor Qing had a smile on his face, his tone of voice was normal.

However, at this moment, Li Chengze felt a dangerous signal in his heart.

Something is wrong!
There is something absolutely wrong with this old silver coin of Emperor Qing.

What the hell is he doing?

If Emperor Qing had spoken just now, pointed at Li Chengze and cursed him, he might have felt more at ease.

In this way, his personality is pretty much the same as Emperor Qing's usual one.

After all, what happened recently will indeed give Emperor Qing a headache, and he will feel very depressed.

If you want to vent, it's understandable.

But why is he suddenly playing the emotional card now?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Therefore, Li Chengze felt that Emperor Qing must be plotting something at this time.

After a while.

He finally reacted.

Prince!

To be precise, it is the candidate for the new crown prince!
The former Crown Prince Li Chengqian has been dead for several days, even the seventh day has passed.

The next thing, naturally, is to appoint a new crown prince.

In that case, then things are right.

Li Chengru and Li Chengping must have said something just now that made Emperor Qing unhappy.

That's why they have such expressions.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze began to sweat profusely.

At this time, Emperor Qing spoke again: "Second Brother, do you have any suitable candidate for the appointment of a new crown prince?"

as predicted!

After hearing what he just said, Li Chengze finally confirmed his inner thoughts.

Emperor Qingdi's old silver coin is aiming at this very thing.

Li Chengze nodded immediately and said, "Father, I do have a suitable candidate for the new crown prince."

"Oh?" Emperor Qing instantly became interested: "Then I want to see who has such great ability that you can recognize him."

Li Chengze said: "This person is far away in the sky, but he is right in front of us."

"he is the one……"

At this point, Li Chengze pointed to the side and said, "He is the eldest brother."

"My eldest brother was in the military camp before. He was brave and skilled in fighting. He had outstanding martial arts skills and won countless battles."

"Besides, he is the eldest son, so he is a very suitable candidate."

As soon as Li Chengze finished speaking, the three people present were all stunned.

Especially Li Chengru, if he was not in the imperial study at this moment, he would have spoken foul language.

This second brother actually cheated him!
Is it possible to appoint him as the new crown prince?

His identity is there, how could he be appointed as the crown prince?
This is no joke…

Wait!!! Soon, Li Chengru reacted instantly.

That's what happened.

After Li Chengru found out the reason, he felt much better.

Perhaps, what Li Chengze is doing now is the only solution.

On the other side,
After hearing what Li Chengze said, Li Chengping just wanted to laugh secretly.

He never expected that his second brother would actually betray his eldest brother.

This is interesting.

Moreover, Li Chengping knew that even if his second brother said so, his father would not agree.

Maybe he'll even get furious.

After all, among the many princes, their eldest brother Li Chengru had the least chance of being appointed as the new crown prince.

No matter how strong his abilities were, it wouldn't work.

However, Li Chengping was also worried about whether his second brother would recommend him.

It seems that he was worrying too much.

I just wonder what my father would think if he heard this?

It's unlikely that he would criticize them harshly again like he did just now.

Thinking of this, Li Chengping shrank his neck and took a step back.

He was afraid that his father would get angry and it would affect him.

After recommending the boss, Li Chengze lowered his head and waited for Emperor Qing's response.

The reason why he recommended Li Chengru just now.

It was simply because he knew that Emperor Qing would never pass the position of Crown Prince to him no matter what.

Because he is very skilled in martial arts and strategy, and he is also a very nice person.

But his mother was a Dongyi person, mixed with the Qing Kingdom.

In this day and age, people attach great importance to bloodline and the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Therefore, the eldest prince Li Chengru is destined to have no chance of becoming the crown prince.

Even if Emperor Qing would agree, the civil and military officials in the court would not agree.

So, after he became an adult, he was sent to the frontier.

Not to mention making him the crown prince, even if he had a little real power, he would attract attention.

It is precisely because of this that Li Chengze recommended him.

Soon, the whole room fell into silence.

After a while.

Emperor Qing said, "I thought you would recommend yourself."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Because I feel that I am not capable enough to take on such a big responsibility."

“So, let’s hand over this important task to capable people.”

"Oh!" Emperor Qing said, "You are being modest now."

"Okay, let's stop here for now. I know what's going on."

"Don't leave the palace later. Let's have lunch together at noon today."

"Yes." Li Chengze, Li Chengru and the other two immediately nodded to Emperor Qing.

Afterwards, Emperor Qing waved to the three of them and said, "Go down first. I still have things to do."

"My son, please retire."

After Li Chengze, Li Chengru and the other two left the imperial study, Emperor Qing's expression changed drastically.

His face was gloomy and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

Then he picked up the arrow on the desk, placed it on the arrow shaft, and took out a large bow from the side.

Draw the bow and draw the arrow.

There was a whoosh sound.

The long arrow shot out immediately and directly hit the steel plate in front of him.

"boom!"

The thick steel plate, which was originally several feet long, was directly pierced through.

Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the scene in front of him, and threw away the bow in his hand.

"Humph!"
