Xiao Ce knew that the old antiques in the court would not agree to make Qin Zhao his queen, but Zhao Yu was also one of the cabinet officials. Although he personally did not like Zhao Yu's identity as Qin Zhao's ex-husband, Zhao Yu was in his hands.
A very useful knife. Wherever the knife points, Zhao Yu will cut. This is the use of Zhao Yu.
If not, he wouldn't need to send Zhao Yu into the cabinet. Zhao Yu's purpose is to confront the old ministers in the cabinet, and now is when Zhao Yu comes in handy.
Before that, Xiao Yuan needs to be made the prince, and Qin Zhao's identity will be established from then on.
It just so happens that Qin Zhao, a woman, is sometimes shrewd, but at this time she is not smart enough.
Xiao Ce sighed in his heart and followed suit: "I think A Yuan is not young anymore. In another year, let A Yuan be enlightened..."
When Qin Zhao heard this, the soup in her mouth almost spit out. She looked at Xiao Ce in disbelief: "What does the emperor want to say?"
Does letting little atoms become enlightened mean that they become princes?
Don't say that Xiao Atom is not a prince yet. Even if he becomes a prince, he has not tried to become a prince at the age of three. At least he has to wait until he is five years old, right?
"I want to choose a good and auspicious day to determine A Yuan's identity." Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao with burning eyes.
Qin Zhao saw the light in Xiao Ce's eyes. What else didn't she understand? This girl really planned to make Xiao Atom the prince. Although Xiao Atom was also a prince in the previous life, she didn't expect Xiao Ce to have such a plan so quickly in this life.
.
In other words, Xiao Ce was not kidding when he asked Xiao Atom to start enlightenment at the age of three.
"What do you think, my beloved concubine?" Xiao Ce asked when Qin Zhao didn't speak.
Qin Zhao looked at the beautiful little boy who was sitting upright eating, and sighed softly: "The child is really still very young."
Is it too cruel to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the crown prince at such a young age?
"This matter is settled." Xiao Ce was too lazy to talk nonsense to Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao laughed when he heard this: "The emperor didn't discuss it with my concubine at all. He clearly had a plan."
Xiao Ce didn't deny it either.
Qin Zhao didn't know how to fight for it himself, he had to plan for this woman. She had made great contributions to him over the years, so he couldn't let anyone point fingers at her behind his back no matter what, and he had to give her enough honor.
After lunch, Xiao Ce planned to return to Yangxin Hall.
Qin Zhao had only seen him for a few days. Seeing that he was leaving so soon, he was naturally reluctant to leave.
She circled Xiao Ce's waist, "Is the emperor leaving so soon? Why don't you take a nap in Jinyang Palace?"
Xiao Ce saw the attachment in her eyes and said thoughtfully: "That's all, then I'll sleep with you for a while."
Qin Zhao was naturally filled with joy. She meant to take a nap, but Xiao Ce pressed her down on the pillow and tortured her hard.
When it was almost dusk, Xiao Ce, who said he only slept for a short while, finally let Qin Zhao go with satisfaction.
Qin Zhao was about to cry but had no tears. He felt that he could not believe a word of the man's words, nor could he believe what the emperor Xiao Ce said.
After Xiao Ce left, she took another nap and didn't get up until she was hungry to have dinner.
Early the next morning, Huang Xianmeng mentioned the matter of leaving the palace to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother did not expect that Huang Xianmeng would suddenly figure this out, "Have you thought about it? If you miss this time, you may never have the chance to enter the palace again."
She is also very conflicted. Sometimes she feels that she should not enter the trap of the harem. On the other hand, she is afraid that Meng'er will miss her life because of this.
"Auntie, Meng'er has already thought about it and will not regret it. Before entering the palace, she did think that she was worthy of the position of queen, but later I realized that reality is different from fantasy. After Meng'er leaves, my aunt needs to be taken care of.
Take good care of yourself, Meng'er will come to visit my great-aunt again when she has time in the future." Huang Xianmeng said softly.
The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "Are you willing to do so?"
"It doesn't matter whether you want to let it go or not. This was originally Meng'er's wishful thinking. It's time to wake up from it now." Huang Xianmeng said and changed the subject.
That afternoon, Huang Xianmeng quietly left the palace.
People who have been paying attention to Huang Xianmeng's news finally received the news that Huang Xianmeng left the palace in the evening. At first, everyone did not realize whether it was a matter of success or whether Huang Xianmeng was not destined to be in the palace.
Everyone has been speculating for several days, but there is no follow-up to Huang Xianmeng. This is tantamount to pouring cold water on everyone's hot expectations.
At this time, everyone recovered and knew that Huang Xianmeng was no longer destined to be in the middle palace.
Huang Xianmeng had only left the palace for a few days when Xiao Ce suddenly ordered the cabinet ministers to discuss the establishment of a prince.
Originally, the matter of establishing a prince was as important as the matter of establishing a queen, but all the ministers had a tacit understanding to put the matter of establishing a queen first, simply because they wanted to have more than one candidate for the prince if the queen gave birth to a relegated son.
Since ancient times, the crown prince was either relegated or made a eldest son. Xiao Yuan occupied the position of "eldest son", so everyone was looking forward to another relegated prince, which is why they were eager to make Xiao Ce the queen.
Unexpectedly, before the queen was decided, the young emperor actually wanted to establish a prince first.
Xiao Yuan was less than two years old, and suddenly Xiao Ce was eager to establish a prince. The profound meaning of this has to be thought deeply.
All the cabinet ministers lost their voices and looked at each other in confusion. It was Mr. Liang Ge who was the first to react and said: "I think it is more important to establish a queen at the moment. Your Highness is still young and does not know personnel and cannot see his character. You can wait for a while."
slow."
Xiao Ce was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu immediately understood what Xiao Ce meant, and he answered: "I heard that although your highness is young, he is smarter than children of the same age. Since the candidate for the queen cannot be chosen at the moment, why not establish a prince first to stabilize the court."
As soon as Zhao Yu opened his mouth, everyone looked over.
Who doesn’t know that Zhao Yu was in important positions during Xiao Ce’s reign as the crown prince of the East Palace? Later, Zhao Yu’s position became awkward because of Concubine Qin.
A few days ago, Xiao Ce still let Zhao Yu join the cabinet, which shows that Xiao Ce still values Zhao Yu.
When other cabinet ministers saw that Mr. Liang Ge and Zhao Yu were holding different opinions, they knew they had to take sides.
Mr. Liang Ge's granddaughter is also among the candidates on the list of queens. Naturally, she does not want to see the emperor establish the crown prince first, but others have no such concerns.
The only selfish intention is probably to hope to be favored by the Holy One. After all, it is not only the concubines in the harem who need Holy Grace, but also the former ministers.
The remaining four people did not dare to stand up easily. They each had their own considerations and concerns. What Xiao Ce wanted was such a balanced situation. At least he raised this matter, and he would let all civil and military officials see his determination.
He wasn't anxious about establishing a prince before, but now he is.
The news that the prince was going to be established today spread quickly.
Huang Xianmeng had just left the palace, and Xiao Ce proposed to establish a prince. There was only one prince, Xiao Yuan, so there was no doubt that the establishment of a prince would push Xiao Yuan up.
