Chapter 1134 Any Objections?

The expected thunderous wrath did not appear. Emperor Yanling just looked at Li Chuyi silently without saying a word. His expression was a little stern but not too angry. This made the ministers a little confused, and the princes and princesses who had just been excited felt like a basin of cold water was placed on their heads, and they felt something was wrong.

Silently, Emperor Yanling's face relaxed, and a smile from the corner of his mouth flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The cold water on his head was immediately poured down, and the hearts of the princes and princesses were as cold as ice.

Li Chuyi had known that the result would be like this, so his eyes did not retreat at all from beginning to end. The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that it was too tiring to look up. The old prince was afraid that people would not see him sitting so high, and his neck was almost broken when he stood under the throne.

As if he saw his intention, Emperor Yanling waved at him with a smile.

"Child, come up."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed.

How could anyone be allowed to stay around the dragon throne? In the entire Dayan, only Mu Fangli and three others were qualified to do so. As soon as Li Chuyi arrived, he was called to the side by Emperor Yanling. Was this a way to convey to them the ownership of the position of the crown prince?

And Li Chuyi once again showed his unconventional, or rather rude, disrespect. Hearing this, he did not move, and even though the little monkey behind him was driving him crazy, he seemed to ignore it. His eyes gradually filled with sarcasm, and the corners of his mouth hung with his usual lazy smile.

"What? Want to have a father-son reunion and cry bitterly? Forget it, you can afford to lose this man, but I can't!"

Emperor Yanling laughed dumbly, pointed at Li Chuyi's eyes and looked at Mu Fangli.

"Master, this child is so naughty."

There was a flattering intention in his words, but Mu Fangli didn't appreciate it at all. He snorted with a fake smile, and then looked at Li Chuyi with a proud face: "I think it's good!"

Puff.

Li Chuyi laughed out loud and secretly raised his eyebrows at Mu Fangli.

Old Man Mu is worthy of being Old Man Mu. He dared not to give face to Emperor Yanling in front of so many people. Li Chuyi was very pleased to see this.

Emperor Yanling was not annoyed. He smiled slightly and let it go. He looked at the little fat man deeply, and then looked at the ministers in the palace. The smile that had just been a little warm was full of majesty again.

"Today, I summoned you all here for two main reasons. One is my eldest prince Li Chuyi. This child was separated from me when he was young. He just came back recently. Some of you may not know him yet, so I set this day for him to meet you, so as to avoid misunderstandings in the future."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, the eldest prince!"

No one could understand the hidden meaning of Emperor Yanling. The civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground, and the princes and princesses in the front row also bowed, and the King of Zhenxi Yuwen Taihao nodded gently.

Although he was calm, the little fat man had never seen such a scene before. He was dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't know whether to shout "Stand up" as in the play, or just leave it alone.

Fortunately, Emperor Yanling didn't make it difficult for him. After the ceremony, he said calmly: "Everyone stand up."

Watching the crowd stand up again, the little fat man secretly wiped his cold sweat. He had never expected to make a fool of himself in such a place.

After a pause, Emperor Yanling continued: "As for the second thing, I believe some of you have guessed it. That's right, it's the position of the crown prince!"

Everyone was shocked, and Emperor Yanling sat up straighter, with a hint of excitement on his majestic face.

"I know that all my beloved ministers are wondering why I have never appointed a crown prince, and even the position of the eldest prince has never been taken. Today I can tell you that it is not that my other princes are not excellent, but that I have been waiting for someone, and that person is my prince Li Chuyi! This child has a miserable life. He was separated from me not long after he was born, and there has been no news for all these years. Whenever I think of how much suffering he will endure, my heart aches like a knife! Some people told me that he is dead and it is impossible to find him back, but I don't believe it! He is my son, my bloodline, and the most orthodox prince of the Dayan Dynasty. He cannot die in vain! I have always believed that he is still alive!"

After these words came out, the faces of the princes and princesses all looked bad. The three words "most orthodox" hit their hearts like a hammer, making them extremely uncomfortable.

Emperor Yanling didn't look at them, nor did he care about them at all. He continued to speak loudly in a slightly excited and majestic voice: "Sure enough, my insistence was not wrong. He is still alive and standing here today! My dear ministers, can you imagine how excited I was when I learned that he was really still alive?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Yanling's face darkened and he looked at Li Chuyi apologetically.

"I know there have been a lot of rumors outside, and this child believed them, so he has a lot of misunderstandings about me. I know all this, but I don't blame him. It was my negligence that led to his wandering outside, and it was my incompetence that made him return home today. What this child said is right. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for so many years, and it is reasonable for him to blame me. Not only me, but the entire Dayan owes him, especially the Supervisory Department! Haha, who would have thought that the Supervisory Department that I am proud of is so incompetent, and has made no achievements for so many years. In the end, it was still let this child find it himself. Master Wen, what crime should you be punished for!"

Old Wen immediately knelt down and said in a heavy tone: "I know my crime, it is my incompetence, I am willing to accept any punishment, and I also ask my emperor to punish me!"

Li Chuyi watched coldly, and saw this and had to give a thumbs up to his cheap father.

Those who abuse power are dirty, and the emperor is the dirtiest. He said a lot of truths and lies in the beginning, and admitted his mistakes as an emperor, which even touched the little fat man. In the end, he just threw the blame on the Supervisory Department. The old emperor's ability to change flowers and trees is really the pinnacle, which can be called "Tao follows nature".

Li Chuyi is of course clear about the relationship between Wen Lao and Emperor Yanling. It would be strange if the old emperor really convicted him. The old guy is just to make peace for Emperor Yanling, and the old emperor will not kill him!

Besides, even if he really convicted a serious crime, what would happen? Where to be imprisoned? The black prison of the Supervisory Department?

Come on, the entire Supervisory Department is his own territory, and the black prison is like his backyard. If he goes in, it's not called imprisonment, it's called vacation!

As expected, Emperor Yanling just said that, "severely reprimanded" a few words, and let Wen Lao kneel down to the side and it was over.

Then, Emperor Yanling looked at him with a look of true love.

"The child suffered a lot, but fortunately he finally came back safely. What I left for him was not in vain. The position of the eldest prince is the first compensation I gave him!"

"I know that many people have objections to suddenly making him the eldest prince. But I don't care, because this is what he deserves! He is my first son. If he could be raised by me since childhood, he would not be worse than any other prince or princess now! So don't think that I am confused or excited for a while. You should know that you should call him the emperor brother for both emotional and rational reasons. Do you understand?"

"Your son understands!"

The cold eyes swept over the other children, and the princes and princesses hurriedly bowed to answer, but at the same time, they had a long-standing doubt in their hearts.

I heard before that Li Chuyi was born to Emperor Yanling and the late Queen Ying Mu Xueling. Today, Emperor Yanling confirmed it himself, which means that Li Chuyi is at least 500 years old. Judging from his complexion, he looks like a young man of 18 or 19. How come he doesn't look old at all?

Li Chuyi didn't know what they were thinking, and he wouldn't tell them even if he knew. If they knew the truth, they would be scared to death on the spot.

When the princes and princesses stood up, Emperor Yanling took a deep breath.

"Today, Chuyi came to the palace to see me, so I simply summoned all my beloved ministers to take this opportunity to discuss the matter of the crown prince. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and even if we are cultivators, it is difficult to say whether it will be a disaster or a blessing, so the selection of the crown prince is extremely important, and only those with peerless appearance can be selected. Since Chuyi is already the eldest prince, he has the qualifications to compete for the throne, and as far as I know, he defeated all the heroes at the Wolong Conference held by Taixu Palace and is the only one on the peerless list! Of course, Taixu Palace is a traitor, and those who collude with it are all barbarians and monsters. But my son can make them all bow their heads and admit that he is a peerless genius, which is enough to prove his ability. So I am interested in him and want to make him the crown prince of Dayan. I wonder if you have any objections?"

The palace was silent.

It was not a tacit agreement, but I didn't know how to answer.

Before coming, everyone felt that Emperor Yanling would bring up this long-forgotten topic today, but no one expected him to be so direct.

It's said to ask for their opinions, but this is not asking them, this is basically a notice!

Li Chuyi didn't expect it to be so fast. He thought that he came here today just to meet and chat, and then find an opportunity to discuss the conditions in private before talking about the prince. Now, Hai Wufeng's matter hasn't been even started yet, but the old emperor has lifted him up. The little fat man suddenly didn't know what to do. He wanted to refuse but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only wink at Mu Fangli.

As a result, he was almost angry to death. Mu Fangli agreed with the emperor of Yanling. Seeing Li Chuyi winking and thinking that he was happy, he also blinked with a smile on his face. The little fat man wanted to die.

Helplessly, he could only turn his head and look at Yuwen Taihao.

Looking back, he saw that Yuwen Taihao's eyes were also a little erratic. It seemed that he didn't expect his brother to be so direct, and he was a little at a loss.

Seeing Li Chuyi looking at him, he calmed down and shook his head gently at Li Chuyi, indicating that he should be calm.

There was no other way. Emperor Yanling had said it himself. If Li Chuyi refused, what would happen to him? Hai Wufeng's way of survival would be completely blocked.

Seeing Yuwen Taihao's eyes, Li Chuyi was completely helpless. Even Yuwen Taihao didn't dare to speak for him. There was no one in the hall who could help him.

With a frown, Li Chuyi thought secretly, trying to find a tactful excuse to refuse the old emperor first. He couldn't just agree to it before the conditions were settled.

While he was struggling, someone in the crowd stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed, and then said loudly: "Father, I have something to say!"
