Wang Jun stepped down. Guo Hao thought the world was peaceful, but he didn't expect that Guo Wei had not appointed a new Privy Councilor at all. Many things in the Privy Council fell on him all at once.

Everyone knows that Guo Wei’s favor to Guo Hao is beyond remarkable. Although Guo Hao is young, after a year of study, he handles official duties without any ambiguity.

After reviewing the last report, Guo Hao got up and stretched. Seeing that it was already dark outside, Guo Hao felt that he had returned to the time he had worked overtime.

"Is this life a human being? I have to do so much work, I want to exhaust myself!"

He took charge of the Privy Council's power, which many people dared not dream of, but Guo Hao was young and called tired, and was probably angry to death when he heard it.

It was late at night, Guo Hao didn't plan to go back and decided to stay in the office for one night, otherwise he would not have to go to court after going back and sleeping for a long time, and he would have to worry about his family.

The next morning, Guo Hao went to the court with two dark circles. The other officials wanted to laugh when they saw it, but they all endured it.

"Ha...you guys are so early!"

"My Lord Guo!"

Although Guo Hao is still the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, he is used as a Privy Councilor. One day, Guo Wei may issue an order, and he may be transferred to the deputy envoy as the chief.

When all officials went to court, Guo Hao stood at the head of the military officer. Wang Jun was standing here before. Guo Hao wanted to give up, but no one dared to stand.

After Guo Wei went to court, he looked at the civil and military officials below. Without the trouble of Wang Jun, he seemed to have been much easier to attend court.

"My dear friends, what should I discuss today?"

Guo Wei asked, and at this time Feng Dao stood up: "Your Majesty, it has been three years since the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but the candidate for this prince has not been decided for a long time. Please ask Your Majesty to establish a prince as soon as possible to ensure the peace of the world."

When all officials heard that they wanted to establish a crown prince, they were in an uproar. Everyone knew that Guo Wei had only Chai Rong, the adopted son, so there should be no suspense in the position of this crown prince.

However, Guo Wei seemed to have no idea and asked his ministers: "Oh? My dear friends, are there any suitable candidates?"

A candidate?

All the ministers were stunned. Many people didn't react for a while. Do you need to choose such an obvious thing? Who else can there be except Chai Rong?

Feng Dao seemed to have seen through Guo Wei's thoughts and said without surprise: "Guo Rong, the governor of Zhenning, is a wise and well-known calligraphy and history, is good at riding and shooting, is cautious and honest, and can be the prince!"

Hearing Feng Dao's comments, Guo Wei nodded. His adopted son is indeed good. If it weren't for Guo Hao, he would have chosen him without hesitation.

However, Guo Hao's appearance disturbed his thoughts. He originally wanted Guo Hao to succeed to the throne, but it was not appropriate to think that the ministers would not agree. If Guo Yongning succeeded to the throne, there was no explanation for etiquette and law.

For a while, Guo Wei had made up his mind to pass the throne to Chai Rong, but the news of Guo Yongning's pregnancy made him think.

"Rong'er is good, you can be a candidate. Do other good friends have any better suggestions?"

Guo Wei was very patient and did not refuse Feng Dao, but Guo Wei was so thoughtful that he could not guess who else could be beaten to death.

The court fell into silence for a while, and Guo Hao also looked at his eyes and nose. The matter of storing the position was too troublesome, and he needed to keep a low profile now.

"Ache!"

Not knowing what was going on, Guo Hao suddenly felt his nose itchy and couldn't help but sneeze, and he didn't care.

But this sneeze reminded some people, and the ministers began to look at Guo Hao, and soon Guo Hao discovered something was wrong.

"I'll go, what's going on? They're looking at me!"

Guo Hao was shocked and pretended to be nothing. Guo Wei's eyes also fell on him and it took him a long time to speak.

"I have only one biological daughter now."

The ministers kept quiet and waited for Guo Wei's following.

"Now she is pregnant."

A sentence is like a ray of light that instantly illuminates everyone's hearts, but the grandson's words are related to blood, but the surname is...

At this time, the ministers realized one thing, maybe there were too many people with heavy surnames in this era, and no one thought that Guo Hao's Guo and Guo Wei's Guo were actually the same Guo!

If it were someone else, there would be nothing wrong. They were all surnamed Guo. They were all family five hundred years ago.

But Guo Hao is different. Because his surname is Guo, his son is also Guo, and his son has the blood of Guo Wei, so Guo Hao's son can also be the crown prince, which seems to be more suitable than Chai Rong!

For a moment, everyone was stunned by Guo Wei's thoughts. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? No wonder Guo Wei knew that Guo Hao had a wife, but Guo Hao refused in every possible way, but he still married Guo Yongning to him. It turned out that he was waiting here!

If Guo Hao's son becomes the crown prince, then a hundred years later, even if Guo Hao is not the Supreme Emperor, he will be the regent. No wonder Guo Wei is so anxious to promote Guo Hao, it turns out that he is laying the foundation for their descendants.

Thinking about this, all the ministers were silent. While Guo Hao was shocked, he was trying to restrain the throbbing in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you must not, you must not!"

Surprisingly, Guo Hao actually rejected this great good thing, and saw Guo Hao kneeling on the ground, but his face looked solemn.

"Oh? Why not? Your and Ning'er's children, that is, my grandson, although they are grandsons, they also have the bloodline of my Guo family."

Guo Hao found that Guo Wei seemed to have made up his mind, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead, saying, "Your Majesty, the child in Ning'er's belly doesn't know about men and women. It would be fine if it was a boy, but what if it was a girl?"

"Yes, what should the girl do..."

The ministers began to discuss again, and Guo Wei was also a little embarrassed. Choosing Guo Hao's son was actually the best choice. If it was a girl, he really couldn't be the crown prince.

"Then let's have another birth. If it doesn't work for a year, it's only two years. I don't believe it. You can't give birth to a son!"

Guo Wei's attitude surprised Guo Hao. Although Chai Rong was not here, he still felt like a thorn on his back.

"Your Majesty, this is unfair to the county marquis. Although he is not your biological son, he has been following you since he was a child.

Even if you make my unborn son the crown prince, it will take at least twenty years to grow up, and a child cannot inherit the throne!"

Such a big change caught Guo Hao off guard. If his son really became the prince, then the world might not have become anything.

Have you seen that not long after Chai Zongxun ascended the throne, the Chenqiao mutiny occurred. In the chaotic times, the young master could not survive.

After hearing what Guo Hao said, Guo Wei understood the truth. He looked at Guo Hao, hoping that he could understand his intentions.

In fact, it doesn't matter who is in control of the power. As long as the descendants of the Guo family succeed to the throne, even if Guo Hao becomes the emperor, as long as his grandson inherits the throne.

But Guo Wei dared not say that, because Guo Hao is not only a wife, and after he became emperor, no one can guarantee whether Guo Hao will add to his harem.

In this way, he could not guarantee the status of his grandson, so he could only appoint Guo Hao and Guo Yongning's sons as the crown prince, and Guo Hao could be in power but could not be the emperor.

"I'll discuss this later, I'm a little tired."

After saying that, Guo Wei left the dragon throne, Guo Hao stood up from the ground, and the civil and military officials looked at Guo Hao with complicated eyes. At this time, they all understood the pros and cons of this.

When Guo Hao returned home, the more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was wrong. From Liu Song’s initial message to later marrying Guo Yongning, Guo Wei’s thoughts must have changed.

"Did Guo Wei want me to be the prince at the beginning?"

At this moment, Guo Hao finally understood why Chai Rong was close to him. He was an honest person, but it did not mean that he had no intention. If his adoptive father had an adopted son, no one would feel uncomfortable.

Besides, this adoptive father is not an ordinary person. He is the most noble person in the world. It’s not that Chai Rong doesn’t want to be the emperor, but his respect for Guo Wei has kept him restrained.

Thinking of this, Guo Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He just got away with Wang Jun, and now he has faced Chai Rong again.

When it comes to wisdom, Chai Rong is definitely not as good as him, but in terms of prestige, Chai Rong is above Guo Hao.

Guo Hao has always been ambiguous about his definition of his identity. He did not regard himself as a military general, but he was very close to Zhao Kuangyin and others. He did not regard himself as a civil servant, but he was close to Feng Dao and others.

Although he was the governor of Hedong, his troops were not as strong as Chai Rong. Chai Rong had been in the army for many years, and once the two fought, Guo Hao would definitely suffer.

Even though he gave him some prestige in the court, he still had to speak with fists in the end, so Guo Hao knew very well that he could not agree to Guo Wei anyway this time!
