Chapter 151: Become the King!

There was silence in the court. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×

All the civil and military officials were waiting for what Emperor Yan would say next!

Emperor Yan finally spoke.

“Sixth Prince Qin Ming, you have made great contributions in suppressing the bandits.”

Before he finished speaking, the eldest prince’s side had already smiled.

On the other hand, the third prince’s face was ashen.

The officials on the third prince’s side also looked gloomy.

“But considering that he has committed such a heinous crime, he can be spared from the death penalty, but he cannot escape the living crime!”

“There is no dispute about exiling him to Lingnan!”

The ministers were stunned and looked at Emperor Yan. They were all dumbfounded.

They really couldn’t figure out what Emperor Yan was thinking.

This time, it was the turn of the third prince Qin Yu to be proud.

He looked at the eldest prince Qin Wen provocatively.

Faced with such a result, the neutral officials could not stand it anymore.

"Your Majesty... The Sixth Prince has wiped out the bandits that endangered the people of Lingnan..."

"Your Majesty, you are clear about the situation in Lingnan. It must have taken a lot of effort for the Sixth Prince to do this..."

Emperor Yan glanced at them, "I haven't finished yet."

Qin Yu, who was originally full of smug smiles, froze on his face.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Emperor Yan said immediately afterwards.

"Lingnan has been a part of our Yan country since ancient times, and the people of Lingnan are also the people of our Yan country!"

"Now confer the title of Sixth Prince Qin Ming as the King of Lingnan to govern the Lingnan area..."

The eyes of the Third Prince were about to pop out.

No, why was the Sixth Prince made the King?

Is it so hasty for the father to order? !

Although Lingnan is not a good fiefdom, does Qin Yu care about this?

What he cares about is! This is the title conferred by the father himself!

Qin Yu did not expect that his sixth brother Qin Ming would be the first to have a fiefdom and become the first prince to be crowned as a king!

His expression was gloomy and his eyes were even more dissatisfied.

If he wanted, he could also ask his father to be crowned as a prince.

Even his fiefdom could be bigger and better than Qin Ming's.

But in that case, he would lose something.

He lost the qualification to be an emperor!

His ambition was far from being satisfied by a prince, so he could only give up.

The eldest prince Qin Wen's eyes were calm.

The news of Qin Ming's crowning as a king only made his mouth slightly raised.

"Sixth brother is really lucky..."

He murmured.

As for the many officials in the court, their expressions were different.

It is common for princes to be crowned as kings.

But they did not expect that Qin Ming would be the first among all the princes to be crowned as a king!

It sounds good to be crowned as a king.

But in fact, it is often just an empty title.

Some officials had pity in their eyes.

After all, being named a prince, in a sense, also cuts off the possibility of becoming an emperor.

But some other officials thought more.

They looked at Emperor Yan with understanding eyes, and sighed in their hearts.

It seems that His Majesty and the Sixth Prince still have some feelings.

After being named a prince, although he lost the possibility of becoming an emperor, the danger he encountered was also smaller.

But after thinking carefully, the officials shook their heads again.

What are you thinking? Emperor Yan has treated the Sixth Prince very well by doing this.

Could it be that the Sixth Prince still wants to become an emperor?

I'm afraid he's thinking too much!

The princes before him are all very powerful.

There is also the eldest prince who is the legitimate prince. No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility for the Sixth Prince to become an emperor!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Prime Minister Fan Yong reacted the fastest and slapped his horse silently.

He would not have any objection, because this was Emperor Yan's decision.

Emperor Yan's decision is not so easy to change.

What's more, the Sixth Prince's title of King is also a good thing for him.

After being crowned as King, the Sixth Prince is less threatening.

From then on, the throne will be fought for by the other princes.

Although the eldest prince is currently the crown prince, Fan Yong doesn't care.

He has confidence in the Second Prince!

Yes, from a certain perspective, he is a member of the Second Prince's faction.

Many of his disciples are now guarding the border and have a close relationship with the Second Prince.

But the more important point is.

The elder sister of the Second Prince's mother, Concubine Li, is his first wife.

Therefore, he is also a member of the Second Prince's camp.

Although the eldest prince is now talented, outstanding, and sharp.

But!

Fan Yong knows very well what is the most important thing in this world!

That is, strength!

A big fist is the hard truth!

When the Second Prince holds a heavy army, the throne will naturally belong to him.

Now that the Sixth Prince has been crowned King, the Second Prince has one less competitor.

Fan Yong was naturally happy about this.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The others just realized it and hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"..."

In the court, the figure of Zhang Zeduan, the governor of Yanzhou, was sandwiched in the middle, not attracting attention.

Hearing the decree of Emperor Yan at this time, Zhang Zeduan took a breath.

How come the Sixth Prince... was crowned King of Lingnan in the blink of an eye?

Although Lingnan is not that good, its area is not small!

The population is naturally not small.

More importantly, the Sixth Prince's own strength is not bad.

If there is also the title of King of Lingnan conferred by His Majesty himself, then Lingnan will not be in the pocket of His Majesty the Sixth Prince?

If the Sixth Prince at the beginning only made him wary.

At this time, the Sixth Prince can already make him feel awed.

After all, the Sixth Prince at the beginning was exiled, but he had a few private troops.

Zhang Zeduan is the governor of Yanzhou anyway, and he has at least tens of thousands of troops under his command!

If it comes to a head-on confrontation, he is not inferior to Qin Ming.

But now, with the order of His Majesty, his attitude has also changed dramatically.

Not only did he get rid of the title of exile, but he also became the King of Lingnan conferred by His Majesty himself!

This King of Lingnan does not represent that simple!

There are many cities in Lingnan, and the population is large. If they can be integrated!

Then the strength will definitely crush his little Yanzhou governor!

He lowered his eyebrows and hesitated in his heart.

He wanted to take this opportunity to report Qin Ming.

After all, the Great Yan Army under his command was beaten half to death by Qin Ming's men.

But after hearing the news that His Majesty had appointed Qin Ming as the King of Lingnan.

Zhang Zeduan thought... forget it.

Lingnan and Yanzhou are dependent on each other.

This half-beaten, but not beaten to death after all.

No matter what he said, it would be difficult to bring multiple punishments to Qin Ming.

But if it got to Qin Ming's ears...

His future life may not be easy.

Secondly, he also knew that he was somewhat in the wrong.

If His Majesty investigated it strictly, it might bring trouble to himself in the end!

After thinking about it, Zhang Zeduan remained silent.

Emperor Yan's eyes passed over the officials and fell on him.

"Zhang Taishou, this news, you will be the one to convey it."

Zhang Zeduan had a sad face. He had just had an argument with Qin Ming not long ago, and he didn't want to see Qin Ming again!

But unfortunately he couldn't refuse.

"As you command."
