Nangong Chen comforted Xiao Fei a little, then he muttered to himself with furrowed brows, ”You must treat the people of the world leniently, treat brothers and sisters well, and be filial to the princes of the elders … ”But who is this person?”

”We must treat the people of the world mercifully, treat our brothers and sisters well, and filial piety to the elders, to the princes and princes …” ”But who is this person?”

”Lie'er has a violent temperament. If he becomes the emperor, he will become a tyrant.”

”Yan'er is shrewd and shrewd, I'm afraid that he will not be able to tolerate his brothers and the people under the heavens.”

”Chaoyun has a weak personality and lacks the spirit of a ruler descending upon the world.”

”Xiu-Er …”

When Nangong Chen said Nangong Xiu, he stopped.

He thought back to when he was sick and Nangong Xiu was the only one who sincerely served him.

He had used the emperor's throne to probe Nangong Xiu, but he was not moved.

Nangong Xiu was a bit cold and detached. However, she was incomparably compassionate and filial. At the very least, once he became the emperor, he would treat the people well, and his brothers well …

His sharp eyes swept across the silent officials below the hall …

Nangong Chen looked at the Prime Minister and said: ”My love, you are the current Prime Minister, tell me! Is Fourth Prince Xiu an heir to the throne? ”

Ying Ling Heavenly Dao: ”No! The fourth prince does not have any prestige among the civil and military officials. As the crown prince, I'm afraid everyone will not be convinced! ”

”Who says they can't accept it? I will be the first one to support Nangong Xiu becoming Crown Prince! ”

At this moment, the silent Prince Cheng suddenly stood up!

Nangong Chen had always admired this cousin of his who was unmoved by fame and fortune, so he said, ”Prince Cheng, what do you think? ”Why would you support Xiu-Er?”

Prince Cheng said, ”Everyone present knows that this duke has never been involved in the struggles of the princes. Perhaps you would find it strange that this prince would suddenly support the fourth prince!”

Nangong Chen said, ”Even I am confused!”

Nangong Chen treated Prince Cheng with a very warm attitude. It was not only because of his achievements in battle, but also because he was a noble person. It was because he was not involved in the war of fame and fortune. He was a loyal member of the royal family and did not form a personal alliance. His stance was neutral and he was a central pillar of the Royal Party!

Prince Cheng said, ”Let me tell everyone a story! Most of you probably know that I'm a violent brute who beat his wife! ”Just a month ago …”

Prince Cheng told him in detail about Nangong Xiu and Bing Ying breaking into his mansion to save his wife!

After Nangong Chen heard this, he laughed out loud and joyfully said, ”This is very suitable for Ying'er's style of doing things, I'm afraid that Xiu-Er will also be forced into a corner! This wife of his was the right one to marry! I was even blaming him for making a mistake! ”But he really has good eyes!”

”It's a pity that our son has been kept in the clutches of his wife. In the future, he will suffer greatly!”

When Xiao Fei saw Nangong Chen laughing, she knew that her stratagem had worked!

Originally, she had only thought of Bing Ying's words.

She was a great mother and had done too many things for the Second Prince. However, she had never done anything for the Fourth Prince.

While the Second and First Prince were being loathed by Nangong Chen, she had revealed his true feelings and put on a show. This led Nangong Chen to think about Nangong Xiu …

At that time, she didn't think that she would succeed!

However, even if she failed, it could be said that she had done her duty as a mother to the fourth prince!

But who would have thought that she had succeeded!

From Nangong Chen's expression, she could tell that Nangong Chen had already decided that Nangong Xiu was the Crown Prince's candidate. However, as the Emperor, he could not reveal that he was the one who had chosen Nangong Xiu. He needed the support of the ministers.

Prince Cheng said, ”What kind of person is the First Prince and the Second Prince unfamiliar with each other? However, the fourth prince was a heroic youth who did not fear power, had extraordinary martial arts skills, and valued loyalty and righteousness! If anyone dares to object to him being Crown Prince, This King will be the first to not let him off! ”

Ying Lingtian said sinisterly: ”Fourth Prince, your martial arts are extraordinary? He can't even beat that idiot Second Prince, who's nothing more than a idiot! ”

Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Nangong Chen's face sank.

Xiao Fei hurriedly said, ”Your Majesty, please forgive us! Actually, this subject has to be blamed on chenqie! ”In order to help Yan'er become the Crown Prince, in order to build his prestige in front of the officials, I have always insisted that Xiu-Er lose to me in every fight between princes.”

Nangong Chen slightly scolded, ”Ignorant! The most important thing in a prince's competition was fairness! [How can I let Xiu-Er down like this?]

His tone was reproachful, but it was obvious that he was very happy to hear Xiao Fei's explanation!

At this moment, the emperor was clearly favoring the fourth prince. The ministers who were very observant already guessed that Nangong Chen already approved of the fourth prince being the crown prince! But he needed the flattery and support of the ministers.

Therefore, a few of the royals followed behind Prince Cheng, expressing their support for the fourth prince as Crown Prince! Some of the First and Second Princes who were not too firm in their stance began to waver in their stance …

Right now, the competition was divided into three factions.

First Prince's Party, Second Prince's Party, Fourth Prince's Party …
