Creation Color Master

As the imperial edict was issued, the entire court was silent, and everyone was immersed in their own emotions.

But the imperial edict had not yet been issued. When Wei Yu was preparing to find a way to attract everyone's attention, a voice came like a life-saving straw at the critical moment, giving Wei Yu a reason to continue issuing the imperial edict.

"Prime Minister, I don't understand what the imperial edict just now has to do with how to solve this precarious situation?"

"And the test you mentioned, who is it for?"

Wei Zheng pointed out the problem with an upright posture, which not only attracted everyone's attention, but also expressed everyone's thoughts when everyone reacted.

Then everyone looked at the figure of Prime Minister Wei Yu standing on the jade steps.

Wei Yu gave Wei Zheng an appreciative look, and then slowly said: "Don't worry, isn't there a second imperial edict?"

"As for what the test is, I'm sure everyone will know once this imperial edict is read out."

As Wei Yu finished speaking, all the civil and military officials standing in the hall shifted their gaze to the other imperial edict held by the eunuch Wu Bao, their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Under the close gazes of the crowd, Wei Yu picked it up and slowly spread it out.

As if to whet people's appetite, Wei Yu raised his old face and scanned everyone with his cloudy eyes.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

Today, the world is in chaos and the kings are rebelling. I have decided to take this opportunity to set up tests for the princes, so that my princes can fully demonstrate their talents and let the people of the world see their abilities. Finally, based on their achievements and abilities, they will be appointed as the crown prince for a period of three years. Only in this way can they be recognized by all officials and the people of the world. "

Those who could stand in the court for a long time could not actually understand the meaning of the imperial edict. Everyone looked at the princes standing in the front, and the court fell into silence for a while.

With the exposure of the tests on the princes, which involved the position of crown prince, everyone seemed to have guessed the next plan.

In the court, the forces behind the various princes all had flickering eyes, and were lost in thought, or even slightly excited;

Some of them frowned, as if they did not agree with this, and stood below, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated;

Wei Zheng and others had already guessed Emperor Tang Tiansheng's plan and smiled meaningfully.

Wei Yu did not have time to observe the performance of the civil and military officials. His eyes were still on the imperial edict, and he continued to read:

"Promote the eldest prince Tang Chengqian to the position of governor of Yuzhou and grant him the power to mobilize Yuzhou's troops. Go to Yuzhou in three days to guard against Huiyang Prince Tang Tianlong. If there is any change in Xunzhou, Chengqian can adapt to the situation. We must ensure that the country is forever stable and never let the dynasty split."

"Promote the second prince Tang Chengge to the position of governor of Mozhou and grant him the power to mobilize troops in Mozhou. Go to Yuzhou in three days to guard against Anyang King Tang Tianshi. If there is any change in Mingzhou, Chengge can respond flexibly. We must ensure the stability of the country and never let the dynasty split."

Wei Yu spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly. His voice echoed throughout the hall and reverberated in the ears of all the civil and military officials. At this moment, they witnessed even more how terrifying the current emperor was.

Using the position of crown prince as bait, he wanted to make the power in the hands of many princes work for his own benefit. During this period of time, the princes who hoped to seize the throne had been competing with each other, and their power was growing stronger. He wanted them to suppress the rebels, which would weaken the power of the princes and thereby complete the crackdown on them, while also resolving the current situation of war.

At the same time, this is a complete conspiracy. If you accumulate strength to resist the imperial edict, it means you are voluntarily giving up the position of crown prince. It is clearly stated above. The final results will be checked not only by the emperor, but also by civil and military officials and the people of the world.

If they did not participate, they would be going against the will of the world, the officials, and the people. How could they win the hearts of the people? Therefore, once this imperial edict was issued and announced to the world, the princes had no other choice.

These princes could only accept the orders obediently, and during their tenure they would work diligently to create achievements and would not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Also, among the many princes in the court, the eldest prince and the second prince are undoubtedly the most likely to become the crown prince, and the power behind them is also the strongest.

The current situation in the world is that half of Yuzhou and Mozhou have fallen into the hands of the rebel king. Perhaps Tang Tiansheng's prediction was wrong, but it did not affect the overall situation.

At the same time, for the eldest prince and the second prince, taking back Yuzhou and Mozhou from the rebel king is also an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Below, the eldest prince Tang Chengqian and the second prince Tang Chengge had no expression on their faces. I wonder what they were thinking?

Wei Yu continued to read the imperial edict, and his voice echoed in the hall for a long time.

"Promote the third prince Tang Chengze to be the governor of Jiangzhou. The south is rich and is the economic center of Xiayang. More than half of the tax revenue in the court comes from here. At the same time, there are many aristocratic families in the south, which continuously provide talents for the court. We must not neglect it. Chengze, you must stay here and guard against crises."

When the civil and military officials below heard this, most of them looked unhappy, because they all came from the five southern states, and among the five states, Yunzhou and Jiangzhou were the richest, and could be called the land of abundance.

Now that the emperor has arranged the third prince Tang Chengze here, it is like driving a nail into the throat, which makes people feel like it is a thorn in the throat. It is obvious that the emperor is letting the third prince Tang Chengze supervise and intimidate the aristocratic families to prevent them from doing anything secretly.

Now, their emperor has become more and more mysterious in his eyes. Without leaving his house, he has a full understanding of the general situation in the world. At the same time, every move he makes is exquisite, and his arrangements for the three princes are also very clever.

That's right, in the eyes of civil and military officials, such an arrangement is the most reasonable under the current circumstances. Based on the actual situation of each prince, they are arranged in positions that are most favorable to the dynasty.

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed, and he obviously agreed with the arrangement made by King Tang Tiansheng.

At the same time, I also look forward to the next content of the imperial edict.

"Promote the fourth prince Tang Chengbin to be the governor of Suzhou. The three western states are relatively poor because of the Tianshan Mountains. The court has always ignored this place, which has led to its underdevelopment. Chengbin, I hope you can stay here to prevent accidents and strengthen the development of this place."

"Promote the eighth prince Tang Chengxuan to be the governor of Caozhou. Caozhou and Yunzhou are the gateways to the sea in the east of Xiayang. Moreover, the sea monsters are rampant. Once Xiayang is in turmoil, the sea monsters will take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble. You can work together with my younger brother Tang Tianyu to resist the sea monsters and ensure peace in the east."

All the civil and military officials in the court were aware of the relationship between the emperor and Prince Xianyang, and the title of emperor's younger brother in the imperial edict further confirmed it. Arranging the eighth prince Tang Chengxuan here could not only win over Prince Xianyang, but also allow the eighth prince to get training, killing two birds with one stone.

The eighth prince Tang Chengxuan can be said to be the most comfortable one among them.

Where there is joy there is sorrow. Many officials looked at the Fourth Prince Tang Chengbin with pity. The three western states were the most barren places in the Xiayang Dynasty, and the two northern states were much better than them.

Now arranging the Fourth Prince here is just an idle move in the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court, because princes have been arranged to go here in the southeast and north, so naturally they cannot favor one over the other.

But Wei Zheng and others seemed to have noticed something and felt that there was another deeper meaning behind Tang Tiansheng's arrangement.
