Just one month after his founding, Fang Yinguang, the chief assistant of the cabinet in the court, formally proposed the establishment of a crown prince.

The cabinet and Emperor Jingyuan had already reached a tacit understanding. Emperor Jingyuan sat on the top and asked, "I wonder if anyone can choose Fang Xiang?"

Fang Yinguang stood up and leaned over and replied, "I think that among the princes, the third prince was the queen of Yuan Dynasty, and the identity was the most noble among the princes. According to the ancestral teachings, he should be appointed as the crown prince."

This time, Emperor Jingyuan did not practice Tai Chi anymore, but responded directly, and asked the cabinet to draft an order to announce it to the world as soon as possible.

The crown prince was different from other things. In order to show the court's importance to the crown prince, Emperor Jingyuan ordered the cabinet to entrust a general amnesty for the whole world, and the whole world celebrated. At the same time, he ordered the Imperial Heaven Prison to delist and ordered the Imperial Heaven Prison to calculate two auspicious days as soon as possible, one was the auspicious day for the crown prince to move into the East Palace, and the other was the auspicious day for the formal enthronement ceremony.

Pei Hengyong stood in the court. Even though he was used to the big scenes and had already known the ending, he still had a look of joy on his face when Emperor Jing Yuan personally ordered the cabinet to draft the order.

When Pei Hengyong left the Golden Palace, several other princes who had already married and held positions in the court came forward one by one to congratulate.

These princes are also ambitious about the position of crown prince, but before their open and secret struggles were put on the table, the crown prince had already established it, so there was no big conflict between the princes, and at this time everyone was happy to have a good relationship with Pei Hengyong.

Now that Pei Hengyong was established as the crown prince, he responded one by one in the face of these brothers or younger brothers' favor.

Not to mention anything else, his father was watching. If Pei Hengyong was too cold to these brothers, then even if Emperor Jingyuan had a mediocre relationship with his offspring except Hengyu, he would definitely be dissatisfied with him.

Moreover, Pei Hengyong's personality is also peaceful, so the situation is very peaceful for a while.

After all the princes left, some ministers also came to greet him and congratulate him.

The morning court was held that day, and the news of the establishment of the crown prince had spread throughout Kyoto.

The first person to send gifts to Prince Pei Hengyong's mansion was Hengyu. The gifts he chose were still in the previous style and were not expensive, but there were many gadgets to pass the time and idle books.

After Pei Hengyong returned to the mansion, he felt a little amused when he looked at the gifts sent by Hengyu. Somehow, his eighth brother was getting more and more playful.

The gifts given by Heng Yu were just the beginning, and then waves of gifts were sent over and over again. The mansion, which had been deserted for a long time, was so lively for the first time. The carriages had already blocked the streets, and other carriages that were a little late were blocked at the intersection.

There were also many officials with good relationships who came to the door in person. Pei Hengyong didn't show up and welcomed people one by one. After chatting for a while, he politely sent them away.

It was not until Shen Shi that the gifts that were about to come to the door had already been delivered, and the mansion was quiet.

Pei Hengyong finally got free. At this time, there was still some time before dinner, so he went to the study to sit and handle some things. Pei Hengyong is still in the Ministry of War, so he naturally has official duties.

But before he could sit down, a servant hurried over and said in his ear: "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince has left the palace, and now I'm waiting outside the yard."

Pei Hengyong was a little surprised, "Are there other people around my eighth brother?"

The servant shook his head, "Only follow two people who are close to serve."

Pei Hengyong nodded, and even the tea the maid had just brought him to him, he stood up and hurriedly greeted him.

Outside the yard, Heng Yu heard the footsteps coming from behind, turned around and bowed to Pei Hengyong with a smile, "I haven't congratulated the prince yet."

Pei Hengyong stepped forward to support him, and was amused by the name he said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and my eighth brother has become much more arrogant."

"The cabinet has already planned to question it, just waiting to show the world. There is no problem with my name."

There is indeed no problem, but such a name sounds a bit unfamiliar.

Just like the father, he is both a father and a monarch; the prince and brother, he is naturally both a brother and a crown prince.

But Hengyu still followed the flow and called Pei Hengyong "third brother."

Compared with the previous "Three Emperors" of the past, this title seems much closer.

At this time, snow had already started to float in the sky, and the two of them stood outside the yard and spoke well. Pei Hengyong hurriedly invited Hengyu into his study.

Carbon basins were burning in all four corners of the study. As soon as he stepped into the study, the warmth came to his face instantly. Hengyu took off the cloak on his body, and a servant took it and put it on. He patted the snowflakes stained on his hair and walked into it with Pei Hengyong.

Pei Hengyong's study was decorated very elegantly, with calligraphy works hanging all over the study, and the bookish atmosphere was full, which was very similar to his own atmosphere. When most people saw Pei Hengyong for the first time, it was hard to imagine that such a gentle prince could go on battle to kill the enemy and plan on the battlefield.

"Why did the eighth brother come suddenly?" Pei Hengyong and Hengyu each sat down. After the servants brought the tea to Hengyu, Pei Hengyong finally asked, "Father and mother agree to you leave the palace?"

Heng Yu smiled helplessly, "San brother, don't treat me as a child. I will naturally be approved by my father and mother."

Pei Hengyong smiled embarrassedly, but the atmosphere between the two became much more natural because of Heng Yu's words.

In fact, to be honest, the two brothers did not have much contact. Fortunately, they were suddenly chatting and greetings in such a harmonious way. Pei Hengyong didn’t know what topic to look for.

"This time I came out of the palace to find the third brother to congratulate the third brother on being named the crown prince, and I also want to find the third brother if I have something to do." Heng Yu paused. After Pei Hengyong was attracted by his words, Heng Yu continued, "I am not afraid to tell the third brother that if my father's body is still overworked, I will definitely not be able to stand it. I accidentally heard the Imperial Hospital say that my father's body must be well maintained, otherwise..."

The unfinished meaning in Hengyu's words was too obvious, and Pei Hengyong instantly knew what Hengyu's words meant.

In fact, Emperor Jing Yuan's body was seen by Heng Yu himself, but at this time, he naturally had to find other reasons to convince Pei Hengyong.

Emperor Jingyuan hid this matter very well. After all, the Imperial Hospital was the emperor's confidant, so Pei Hengyong only knew that Emperor Jingyuan was not feeling well and did not know that the situation was so serious.

"The eighth brother means..."

"If the third brother performed very well in the position of crown prince, then the father could abdicate as the emperor to rest as the emperor earlier. At that time, I wouldn't say much if I came to the cabinet." Heng Yu said with a smile.

His tone and posture were too calm, as if he was saying that the weather was good today.

Facing Pei Hengyu like this, Pei Hengyong suddenly felt that if his eighth brother really wanted to compete with him for the position of crown prince, then the outcome might be really hard to predict.

But he gave up...

"If you and I fight each other, the matter of the crown prince will definitely not be settled in a short period of time. So is this the reason why my eighth brother gave up?" Pei Hengyong said with a little clarity and sigh.

If you show off your favorable feelings like this, Hengyu will naturally follow Pei Hengyong's words, "This is indeed the biggest reason. Apart from that, I don't want to compete with my third brother."

Pei Hengyong was silent for a moment, "What about the future?"

"Isn't it good to have a free prince? I'm such a lazy person, but I can't get up after the fifth update." Heng Yu waved his hand, and it seemed very indifferent.

The emperor is diligent and has nothing to do, basically a life-long position. When there is no one, he will naturally bite the bullet, but now there is a more suitable candidate, so he will not be so stupid as to hit the gun by himself.

Of course, these days, many people in the royal family attach great importance to power, and few people are as free and easy as Hengyu.

"And why should I take care of me with my brother? I stay in the imperial city as the idle prince. I don't have any big power. You won when you don't have the power. Are you still afraid that I will make any small moves at that time?" Heng Yu asked, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Of course, he has to be an idle prince. On the surface, he said this to prevent Pei Hengyong from being suspicious, but in fact, Hengyu felt that after he caused trouble at the beginning, he might be pushed out to do things. It would be better for him to position himself as an idle prince early.

At that time, I will only be responsible for providing ideas to cause trouble, pulling Liubu into the water, and then watching Liubu and his third brother become a dog. He will appreciate flowers and listen to music, and then watch the play. How beautiful this kind of life is.

Poor Pei Hengyong, he didn't know what Hengyu was thinking at all. He thought Hengyu thought he was suspicious and hurriedly said, "Since I promised to trust my eighth brother, I will naturally not be suspicious anymore. After my eighth brother got married, my third brother will naturally choose a good place for you."

[Hahahahahahaha] The mechanical sound of the system was laughing in Hengyu's mind.

Heng Yu: "...It sounds so ugly, shut up."

[It's not good enough to make the favorable level too much] The system sighed like a look.

"Eighth brother?" Seeing that Heng Yu's expression was a little strange, Pei Hengyong said.

Heng Yu came to his senses, took out a note from his sleeve, and handed it to Pei Hengyong, "I often left the palace during this period and stayed in major restaurants for a while. These are some of my experiences. The third brother can use it for reference."

Pei Hengyong took the letter and before he could say anything, Hengyu got up first, "It's getting late, I should rush back to the palace to avoid punishment from my father and mother."

The note was very thick. Pei Hengyong opened the note and before he could read the content, he was stunned by the flowing handwriting inside.

These days, the eighth brother's calligraphy has improved a lot.

He was about to read the content of the note carefully, but when he heard Heng Yu's words, he quickly put the note together and stood up, "I'll give it to my eighth brother."

Heng Yu nodded.

Pei Hengyong raised his voice and called the servants to come in. When the two walked to the door, the servants took Hengyu's cloak and put it on him. Pei Hengyong also put on the cloak, and the two walked out of the mansion together.

A Xixue fell on the heads of the two people. Heng Yu refused the umbrella handed over by his servant and walked directly in Xixue.

Pei Hengyong naturally accompanied him.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and the people's harvest will definitely be excellent next year." Pei Hengyong sighed.

"What do you want to do with my third brother?"

"Recover lost territory in the northern border and completely pacify the disaster on the border." Pei Hengyong said lightly and firmly.

"That's a coincidence." Heng Yu smiled, "This is what I want to do."
