The chamberlain's father-in-law sent the letter to Emperor Qi Heng. Emperor Qi Heng opened it and read it and said: "As for Princess Xia Luoluo of Da Qi, it is actually a matter for the royal harem~~"
After a pause, Emperor Qi Heng seemed to have made a decision, "I have decided to give her a letter of divorce in the name of the royal family of Dazhou and send her back to Daqi to be left to Emperor Jingyuan to make her own arrangements. What do you think, dear friends?"
After hearing this, Ji Xun understood what Emperor Jingyuan wrote in his letter.
Just as Mu Xiaoyou expected, no matter how evil Xia Luoluo was, she was still the daughter of Emperor Jingyuan who had been doted on since childhood, and he still softened his heart when things came to pass.
Ji Xun understood the content of the letter, so why didn't all the ministers say the same thing? "The officials in the harem are not allowed to interfere, and they are at the disposal of the emperor.'
It is already very good that the emperor is willing to ask for their opinions on this kind of matter. How dare they have any other opinions?
Besides, who doesn’t know the privacy of Princess Daqi? Everyone has even heard of the scandal that the baby girl who has been the emperor for several months is not of royal blood, so just divorcing Princess Luo and sending her back to Daqi is enough for her.
Be kind.
After this matter was dealt with, another minister made a suggestion.
"Your Majesty, the post of Young Minister of Dali Temple is now vacant, and one must be appointed.'
"I recommend General Lin Yilin who is next to His Royal Highness the Night King." Before the minister finished speaking, another minister quickly stood up, "General Lin is a Jinshi and has been a general on the battlefield for so many years. He is better than anyone else.
Suitable for this position.”
The two people talking came from poor families, and they were classmates with Lin Yi back then.
He was from a poor family and finally became an official, so he was not willing to lose his official position. During this period of time, he had to endure hardships in court and live in an ignoble existence. Now he is still focused on serving as an official well and contributing to the great Zhou Dynasty.
Ji Xun looked deeply at the two people and nodded secretly.
The position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is extremely important, and it is impossible to rest assured if you do not arrange for one of your own.
Lin Yi is indeed the most suitable candidate because he is capable of both literary and military skills.
The other courtiers could only agree. In their hearts, they were not happy that these important positions were occupied by the Night King's confidants, but due to the current situation, no one dared to show it.
Emperor Qi Heng naturally took advantage of the situation and summoned Lin Yi, appointing him as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and responsible for hearing the cases of Lu Anhe, Song Zhi and others.
Later, the two ministers from poor families recommended Duan Zhengde, the eldest son of Duan Ao and Marquis Duan, to be the Minister of War.
This also suited Emperor Qi Heng and King Ye, so they naturally adopted it.
Before long, all the vacant positions in the court were filled one by one by those who were upright and upright, including many who had resigned before.
Emperor Qi Heng was very satisfied, but no one said anything about the prince Wei Yuande. Not everyone dared to challenge the Zhou ancestral system.
Seeing that no one would say anything, Emperor Qi Heng had no choice but to say it himself.
He took a sip of tea and cleared his throat.
"Prince Wei Yuande directed and acted to frame the Night King, deliberately provoked a civil war, and treated all people in the world as nothing. I feel that he is not worthy of becoming the king of the Great Zhou Kingdom." As he spoke, he looked at the courtiers and observed their expressions.
The courtiers lowered their heads and no one dared to express their opinions.
Even though Queen Zhou was deprived of her title of queen, it was still difficult to change the fact that Prince Wei Yuande was the eldest son.
The ancestral system of the Great Zhou Dynasty is there, the eldest son inherits the throne, no matter whether he is crazy, stupid or crazy, as long as he lives, the throne will be his.
Emperor Qi Heng knew that it would not be easy to convince them of this matter, but regardless of whether they would listen or not, he still had to say what needed to be said.
Thinking of this, he continued: "In my opinion, the matter of fake prime minister is not the intention of Prime Minister Zhou alone. I am afraid that Prince Wei Yuande also knows it well!"
As soon as these words came to the ground, the ministers couldn't help but lower their bodies a little lower. The emperor wanted to put the label of rebellion on the crown prince Wei Yuande, and it seemed that he was determined to pass the throne to the Night King.
Everyone knew it, but they didn’t dare to speak.
The emperor glanced at them and sighed;
"The prince is still my prince after all. No matter how big a mistake he made, I will not pursue it anymore because he is paralyzed in bed and can't even say a word. However, he is indeed no longer suitable for the position of prince."
Sit down."
"After Concubine Wu was granted the title of queen, King Ye became the eldest son of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The purpose of making King Ye the crown prince was to comply with the ancestral system of Great Zhou.
As soon as the last sentence came out, the courtiers looked at me and I looked at you, and they seemed to have the answer.
Isn't that right? The Night King is the eldest son of the emperor. If his biological mother is posthumously named queen, wouldn't it be logical for him to become the eldest son? Then wouldn't it be natural to make him the prince instead?
Thinking of this, the courtiers knelt down one after another.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Although the goal was achieved, Emperor Qi Heng still felt helpless.
He also wanted to abolish the ancestral system of establishing direct descendants rather than virtuous people, but it was too difficult and too deep-rooted.
That's all, after the throne is handed over to A Ran, it will be up to him.
The emperor immediately issued an imperial edict to depose Wei Yuande from the position of crown prince. As for the matter of establishing another crown prince, Emperor Qi Heng was not in a hurry. It would be more justified to appoint King Ye as crown prince after Concubine Wu was posthumously named queen.
After the court was over, the ministers walked out of the palace briskly, and the haze that had been weighing on their hearts was finally dispelled.
If nothing else, at least he kept his official position.
Ji Xun had lunch with Emperor Qi Heng in Changning Hall before leaving the palace. Lin Yi immediately went to Dali Temple to take up his post. He was also very busy, with many imprisoned ministers waiting for him to be tried.
Since Lin Yi was not here, Ji Xun had to drive by himself on the way back to Yewang Mansion.
He put a hood with a fox fur collar on his head. No one would be able to see his outstanding appearance unless they looked carefully. In addition, the carriage was not eye-catching, so no one could recognize that he was His Highness the Night King.
At this time, in a room on the second floor of Sihai Inn, the window was wide open, and a girl looked out of the window, her nose turned red from the cold.
The door was open, and Dongfang Qihuai walked in with a hand stove. Seeing Dongfang Yan looking outside despite the cold wind, she was extremely puzzled.
"Sister Huang, what are you looking at?" he asked as he walked to the window and looked outside for a few times. "The street is empty, what is there to see?"
Dongfang Yan didn't know what she saw, and she looked excited, "Coming, coming." She said while retracting her neck.
"What's coming?" Dongfang Qi said in surprise.
"Go away, it's none of your business." Dongfang Yan pushed her away and hurried downstairs with her skirt in hand.
"Sister Huang, are you afraid of heavy snow falling into the house even if you don't close the windows? You will freeze to death at night." Dongfang Qi muttered as she closed the window for her, and then followed her downstairs out of curiosity.
Ji Xun drove the carriage very quickly. If he went faster, he might be able to have lunch with his wife.
That girl also likes to have company when eating. She can eat two more bites if she is with her. Thinking of this, the carriage will go faster.
I was distracted when suddenly a girl rushed out and blocked the road.
The carriage was traveling too fast and the road was slippery due to the snow. No matter how fast Ji Xun reacted, he could not stop the carriage and crashed straight into the girl.
