Xiangming asked: "So, does the young lady want to win over Mr. Wu? Mr. Zhou is the disciple of the young lady's father. He does not have high prestige among the three masters. If the young lady becomes powerful, he will benefit a lot, so he has no objection to the emperor at all. I highly praise the Emperor for his generosity and benevolence!"
Shen Huan smiled silently and said, "I heard that Mr. Wu loves yellow and white things very much, right?"
Xiangming nodded: "That's true."
Shen Huan said: "It seems that Concubine Pei and Concubine Qing have already begun to bribe him."
Xiangming was stunned and asked: "Why are you so sure, Miss?"
Shen Huan said: "The Queen Mother did not intervene, so how could they dare to openly challenge the Emperor? But they will not be willing to let me be the Queen! So, besides using the help of foreign ministers, what else can they do? All the ministers have three things to do. Headed by Zai, Liu Zhao does not need bribes. Even if Prime Minister Zhou bribes, he will not side with them, so they must win over Lord Wu. Their ideas are consistent with ours."
Xiang Ming nodded while listening and said: "Now that they have begun to win over Mr. Wu, what should we do, Miss?"
Shen Huan said slowly: "To deal with the greedy market people, giving him enough gold and silver is a good way. But to take advantage of the money-greedy prime minister, it cannot be done with enough gold and silver."
Xiangming smiled and asked, "Miss, have you already found a solution?"
Shen Huan did not answer, only said: "It's time to go and see Pebbles. If you have time, just invite him to come!"
Although Xiang Ming didn't know what it meant, she still obeyed and waited for a while. Xiao Shizi was invited and saluted Shen Huan and said: "I send my regards to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed."
Shen Wen was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Get up quickly, things haven't been decided yet, if you salute like this now, others will say I'm frivolous if they see it!"
Xiao Shizi chuckled and said: "What's undecided? With the temper of our emperor, if he makes a decree, no matter how strong the opposition from the courtiers, he will not go back on it. But you don't know what you are saying!"
Shen Huan was too lazy to talk to him, shook the ring on his hand, and asked: "The emperor's things are all kept in archives. Why didn't you notice that something was missing from his hand when he went out today? If there is a quarrel later, Can you bear the sin?"
Xiao Shizi hurriedly said: "Hey, how dare you ignore this? I noticed it when I got up early. I asked the Long Live Master and he said he would give it to you to play with, but I really didn't record it! You let me do this? Just write it down?"
Shen Huan shook his head and said: "If you haven't recorded it yet, don't bother. Please help me give this reward to you!"
"Who do you want to give this reward to?"
"Lord Zaifu Wu, I heard that he has acquired many treasures recently. I wonder how they will compare with this one? You can send it to me personally. You don't need to say who sent it. Just ask him, how good is this compared to other things in the house? how?"
Xiaoshizi understood, took the ring and said with a smile: "In that case, I will send it to you now."
Shen Huan nodded with satisfaction. After Xiao Shizi left, Xiang Ming asked in confusion: "Miss gave away the emperor's things, what should I do if the emperor asks?"
Shen Huan smiled and said: "The emperor will not ask."
Xiang Ming was still puzzled, and Shen Huan said again: "How could he, a good person, give me such a personal thing? I saw this finger ring when I followed him to court. He never leaves his body. , most of the foreign ministers know this, and Sanzai will not ignore that he is the emperor, and will not personally bribe the ministers... Do you understand?"
Xiangming suddenly realized: "I understand!"
Shen Wen smiled and said: "It's not easy for him to do it, so I have to do it. But I did it, but I can't let others know that I did it. Others thought it was him who did it, but it was actually me. Even if it was leaked, he wouldn't be able to do it." Pretending to be righteous and speaking righteously, he not only accomplished things, but also saved face."
Xiang Ming continued: "So the young lady asked Eunuch Shi to deliver it in person. She didn't know who asked her to deliver it, but the gift was something personal to the emperor."
Shen Huan nodded: "To be able to be a prime minister, but also a greedy prime minister, Mr. Wu must have something special about him. To be able to stand in the court, you must not only know how to adapt to the wind, but also understand what is going on. "They are tight-lipped." She glanced at Xiang Ming and said lightly: "People who keep their mouths tight will always live longer than others."
Xiang Ming's heart suddenly suddenly lowered her head and Vino said yes.
This look suddenly reminded her of Shen Huan who had just entered the palace and asked her for tea ceremony instructions as a tea maid. The dressing maid was sarcastic and sarcastic. Shen Huan's light tone and penetrating eyes turned out to be just as she expected. The palace maid who was changing her clothes was killed with a stick soon after.
There was a stalemate between the emperor and his ministers in the court for two days. Master Wu suddenly changed his focus and began to support Master Zhou's faction. Not only did he not prevent the emperor from establishing a queen, he also strongly supported it.
The queen position has been vacant for a long time, and it is indeed time to establish a queen.
In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed his maid Wei Zifu as his queen. Didn't it also create a good story?
Shen Huan's brother Shen Lan was as brave and skilled as Wei Qing in those days and established Shen Huan. Maybe he could become another general who would frighten the enemy!
The former Prime Minister Shen's gang members were once again ready to make a move. Even some officials who had been demoted began to spread rumors among the people, saying that when Shen Huan was born, the late emperor foretold the arrival of a lucky star, which would ensure the eternal peace of the Northern Kingdom. If such a woman were not to be the queen, Isn't it a pity?
But Liu Zhao still stuck to his point of view. When he found out that Mr. Wu was colluding with Mr. Zhou, he scolded Mr. Wu in public! Mr. Wu did not refute, but listened quietly. After listening, he calmly replied: "Your Majesty." The edict has been issued, and we, as ministers, will naturally act in accordance with the edict. Is this how Lord Liu wants to resist the edict?"
Liu Zhao was so angry that he listed various reasons why Shen Huan could not be a queen. Finally, he used the ancestral system to say that the daughter of a guilty minister could not be made a concubine, and he had not heard of the idea of establishing a queen.
"Isn't Concubine Jing from the Taizong era the daughter of the guilty minister as Mr. Liu calls her?"
Liu Zhao said angrily: "Concubine Jing is doing this because she gave birth to a prince!"
It was okay not to mention this, but when this was mentioned, Xichen's expression changed and he said coldly: "How does the Qing family know that the Shen family has not given birth to a prince for me?"
Everyone's expressions also changed. They didn't know that Shen Huan had been pregnant. They just thought that it was because Shen Huan was pregnant that the emperor wanted to make her his queen. The emperor loved her so much that if she really gave birth to a prince in the future, Doesn’t he want to be established as the crown prince?
He was his future master, so it was better not to offend him. Therefore, all the ministers who had been neutral before now came to Lord Zhou's side, and Lord Wu felt that he was in the right place, and felt proud in his heart. However, Liu Zhao was even more determined not to let Shen Huan. Because he would never allow the descendant of a guilty minister to become the crown prince, his attitude became tougher.
Therefore, after the court meeting, he immediately wrote to more than a dozen powerful colleagues. If the emperor insisted on doing so, he would have no choice but to stop the court together with these adults!
