Chapter 752 Promoting the Establishment of the Prince
Nian Gengyao waved his hand impatiently and said: "What are you thinking about? Among the four elder brothers, the second elder brother is mediocre and cannot be used for much purpose. The fourth elder brother's biological mother's family is ordinary. The fifth elder brother is young. Only the third elder brother can take on a big responsibility. Naturally, he is
Make the third elder brother the prince."
As soon as these arrogant and bold words came out, even Zhang Tingyu, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, couldn't help but change his expression. As for Yinzhen, he had already squeezed the armrest under his palm tightly, and his expression was reflected by the relief embedded in his palm.
Pain and abnormal flushing.
The emperor's family affairs were most taboo for his ministers to mention, let alone ask about, but Nian Gengyao happened to violate this taboo, and he really didn't know how to live or die.
"The words of Duke Fu are a bit biased, right? Concubine Xi's mother-in-law, father and brother both serve in the court, and her younger brother even received military honors in the Battle of Jungar and became a staff general. How can you say that the family is ordinary? There is also the second elder brother, Fu.
The Duke said that his qualifications are mediocre and cannot be used for much purpose, but as far as I know, in terms of intelligence, the fourth elder brother
If Nian Gengyao is the most important, then shouldn't the fourth elder brother be made the crown prince?" The speaker was Ertai, who, like Zhang Tingyu, was the prime minister in the court, and he couldn't stand Nian Gengyao's arrogance. "Also, the third elder brother is the minister.
I am the Duke's nephew, and I am probably having selfish motives when I assist the Duke in persuading the Emperor to make him the crown prince."
Nian Gengyao's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I am loyal to the emperor. How can I be selfish? You only want to say that my fourth brother is smart. Don't you think so?"
Are you from Concubine Xi?"
The most taboo thing in the harem is to make friends with foreign ministers. Once it is found out, both the concubine and the court officials will be severely punished. Nian Gengyao put a big hat on Ertai in one sentence.
Ertai was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Nian Gengyao and said, "You! You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the court. When did I become Concubine Xi's person?"
"Huh, you know it yourself, I don't need to say more." Nian Gengyao's disrespectful words made Zhang Tingyu and others frown.
They have all heard the rumor that Nian Gengyao was dissatisfied with his title and uttered arrogant words about becoming a king with a different surname. He was a king with a different surname before, and now he is plotting to become the prince for the third elder brother. If this happens next time, in a few days
Is it necessary to force the emperor to abdicate and let the third elder brother inherit the throne?
Yunxiang stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "The Duke of Fu and Mr. E are both pillars of the country and loyal. No matter what they do or say, they are all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. There is really no point in arguing, so as not to hurt the harmony."
Yunxiang was a prince, and he had just been granted the title of Iron Hat King. Even Nian Gengyao wanted to give him some face, and hummed softly without saying a word. As for Ertai, he held his neck and said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry.
The minister bluntly said that the matter of appointing a prince is of great importance and should not be taken carelessly. Moreover, the emperor has only been on the throne for three years and it is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. There is no need to appoint him too early. "
"The old minister also thinks so." Following Zhang Tingyu's statement, the civil and military officials stated their positions one after another. Most of them did not want to establish a prince. The remaining ones were either military generals or had inextricable relations with the Nian family.
Yinzhen nodded slightly and said, "What Prime Minister Zhang and Ertai said is absolutely true. There is no rush to establish the crown prince. I will wait until I carefully consider it."
When Nian Gengyao heard this, he immediately became anxious. He had submitted several brochures, but Yinzhen ignored them. If he didn't make a decision today, he didn't know how long it would take. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, slave..."
Yinzhen intercepted his words and said: "Master Fu is very committed to serving the country. I know it very well. It's just that each of my four sons has their own strengths. It's really hard to make a decision at the moment. We need to carefully consider it. Duke Fu doesn't have to be impatient."
Seeing that Yinzhen had already said this, Nian Gengyao had no choice but to agree. After retreating from the court, Yunxiang was left behind. When there was no one else in the palace, Yinzhen said solemnly: "Nian Gengyao is getting more and more serious."
It’s out of control.”
Yunxiang deeply felt the same. Nian Gengyao today is really worrying, "Has the emperor asked Yue Zhongqi about the situation of the northwest army? If we move Nian Gengyao here, will there be any changes there?
?”
Either don't do it or do it absolutely; Yunxiang knows these eight words better than anyone else. If you really want to accuse Nian Gengyao, you must not give him any chance to fight back, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Yinzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "The 20,000 cavalrymen brought by Nian Gengyao this time are the most elite and the team he relies on the most. These 20,000 people, after many years of management and win-win, will not serve.
The emperor ordered not to recognize the tiger talisman, but only listened to the orders of Nian Gengyao. But it was limited to 20,000 people, and the rest
The nearly 100,000 troops still obey the orders of the imperial court. As long as no one deliberately provokes them, there should be no trouble. Moreover, when Nian Gengyao was in the northwest, he did not treat them equally, and the soldiers at the bottom were quite critical. Yunxiang, I
Let me ask you, do you have any way to control the 20,000 horses outside the city?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Yunxiang's eyes lit up and he said: "No matter how elite the 20,000 cavalry are, I can control them so that nothing happens to them."
"Okay!" Yinzhen slapped the armrest hard, stood up and said solemnly: "You immediately mobilize troops and horses, secretly control the people outside the city, I immediately issued a secret decree, Yue Zhongqi took over the post of Fuyuan General, and set off for the northwest immediately.
Be sure to control the troops over there."
"My brother obeys the decree." Yunxiang agreed and said: "Is the emperor prepared to accuse Nian Gengyao now?"
Yinzhen smiled sinisterly and said: "Don't rush, take your time, I want him to feel what despair is bit by bit."
No one has ever been able to push him to this point, not even Yunsu. Nian Gengyao was the first one, so naturally he couldn't let him go easily.
On this day, the news of the court affairs reached the harem without exception. Guarjia came to see Ling Ruo. At that time, Ling Ruo was leaning on the embroidery frame and carefully embroidering a picture of mountains and rivers. The brocade was three feet long and the embroidery was
There are hundreds of kinds of threads used, and there are mountains and mountains inside, so vast and vast. It is just an embroidery scroll, but it makes people feel insignificant.
After chatting for a few words, Guarjia turned the topic to the matter of appointing the crown prince, and said with curved lips: "Nian Gengyao can't wait to let the emperor appoint his third elder brother as the crown prince. It is already known to everyone who passes by. He prefers him."
It’s really ridiculous to still talk about serving the country and the people.”
Ling Ruo raised her head, took the silver scissors and cut off the excess embroidery thread after knotting, and said calmly: "The emperor will never appoint the third elder brother as the prince. Nian Gengyao can only draw water from a bamboo basket in vain."
"I know this truth, but I just can't understand it. Nian Gengyao, who is known as a Confucian general, can be so stupid. The emperor is already dissatisfied with him to this point, and he still doesn't notice it. Does he have to wait until he has nothing to react?
"Guarga said while shaking his head.
"Sister is wrong. Nian Gengyao is not stupid, but he is too confident. He always thinks that the emperor can't live without him. But the fact is that no matter who you leave in this world, the sun will rise and the sun will set." Ling Ruo put out a cigarette ashes. The colorful embroidery thread passed through the tiny eye of the needle, and then passed through the tight brocade again, embroidering the corner of the mountain peak.
