The first thousand one hundred and thirty-six chapters established the reserve (2)
Today is the Great Court Meeting, and more than 400 civil and military officials are present.
The word "Li Chu" was like cold water dropped into a pan of oil, instantly exploding in the ears of the ministers. The shock made everyone unable to recover for a moment. Soon, the ministers were whispering in low voices.
There seemed to be a swarm of mosquitoes flying over the Jinluan Hall, buzzing non-stop.
No one expected that King An would release such a big move so easily.
Even Sheng Hong was a little surprised. He looked at Prince An who looked sincere and sincere, and then glanced at the ministers with different expressions.
The so-called plan cannot keep up with changes.
This scene happened two years earlier than he expected.
Sheng Hong simply asked directly: "If you have any opinions on the matter of establishing a crown prince, you might as well share your opinions."
The establishment of a crown prince was a major matter for the country, and lower-level officials did not have the opportunity to express their opinions. The important officials of the third rank and above could not understand the holy intention for a while, or were unwilling to express their opinions early or open their mouths.
When the emperor asked this question, he almost got cold feet.
Xie Jun, the Minister of Rites, was the first to stand up. Xie Jun, who was over fifty years old, had been the Minister of Rites for several years, and now he has the dignity and dignity of a minister: "His Royal Highness King An said about the establishment of a crown prince, veteran minister
Seconded."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shangshu also opened his mouth: "If the state has a crown prince, people's hearts will be at peace. The old ministers also agree to establish the crown prince of the country as soon as possible!"
The emperor is in his prime and is in good health. Looking at the current situation, he will have no problem sitting on the throne for another twenty or thirty years. At this time, he established the prince and taught him slowly, so that the inheritance of the throne will be natural in the future.
More than a dozen ministers opened their mouths to agree.
Even several pavilion elders agreed that there was nothing wrong with raising the matter of establishing a reserve at this time.
Sheng Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Since all your dear friends agree with the establishment of the crown prince, I will agree with what King An proposed. Next, all your dear friends will discuss who should be appointed as the crown prince!"
Ministers: "..."
As soon as these words came out, the mouths of the ministers were like clam shells.
Even Xie Jun, a die-hard "princess party member", doesn't want to be the one who stands out.
I also knew that the first person who proposed to establish Princess Duanrou as the crown prince would definitely be scolded by the ministers. Even though he is old, he still wants to show off his face, and he also wants to join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future...
Xiao Shangshu also considered it in his heart, and he also wanted to show his loyalty. This was not the way to show loyalty. Anyway, there must be young people charging into the battle, so he had better retreat and hide for the time being.
As expected, Chen Yushi was the first to bravely speak out: "Princess Duanrou is the emperor's only beloved daughter. She is smart and sharp, and has a talent for political affairs. In the past two years, everyone has witnessed it. WeChat official
I have the courage to speak up and ask the emperor to issue an edict to appoint Princess Duanrou as the heir apparent."
…
Jiaofang Hall.
Xie Mingxi had nothing to do and was playing chess with Gu Shanchang.
Xiang Hui suddenly came quickly and reported in a low voice: "To report to the Queen, Eunuch Wei sent a message saying that the Jinluan Palace has become very noisy."
It was a great meeting, why did it get so noisy again?
Xie Mingxi moved her hands for a moment and looked at Xianghui: "What's going on?"
Chief Gu Shan also looked over with concern.
The little chamberlain who came to deliver the message spoke eloquently, and Xianghui learned it over and over again: "There is a memorial from the imperial censor impeaching Princess Changping for making a drunken gaffe. After hearing this, His Royal Highness King An was very angry and ordered
The censor scolded him bitterly, and then asked the emperor to appoint a heir apparent."
"The emperor approved the request of His Royal Highness Prince An and ordered the ministers to discuss the candidate for the crown prince."
"Chen Yushi came forward and asked the emperor to appoint Princess Duanrou as the crown prince. As a result, the courtiers rallied to attack her, and Chen Yushi's clothes were almost wet with saliva."
This metaphor is indeed a bit exaggerated. However, it can also be seen that the quarrel in the Jinluan Palace was fierce.
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed and she asked calmly: "Is it true that the whole court is criticizing Chen Yushi, and no one agrees with what Chen Yushi said?"
"Yes, there are, but there are a little less people." Xianghui replied softly: "I heard that Lu Zhangyuan and Zhao Zhongshu Ling both seconded the proposal. In the end, they were also scolded."
At the critical moment, the only people who could risk their lives and not be afraid of "leaving their names in history" were Chen Zhan, Lu Chi, and Zhao Qi.
For example, Xie Jun, Xiao Shangshu and others always have to take a look and wait to adapt to the overall situation.
For example, everyone in the cabinet will never express their stance at this time.
Establishing a reserve cannot be accomplished overnight.
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly: "I understand. If there is any news, please report back at any time."
Xianghui retreated in response.
Xie Mingxi picked up a chess piece made of jade and dropped it on the chessboard, making a crisp sound: "Master, it's your turn."
Gu Shanchang picked up the white chess piece and frowned, unable to put it down for a long time.
Xie Mingxi chuckled: "Master is worried about A Luo?"
Gu Shan sighed and nodded: "In the past, when we didn't challenge the situation, the ministers pinched their noses and pretended to be deaf and dumb. Now when it comes to establishing the throne, it's like a dagger in the figure. How can the ministers be willing to retreat easily? There was a quarrel in the court.
, I don’t know how many unpleasant things I have to say.”
"A'luo has always been arrogant and arrogant. You and your wife have protected you in everything. She has never been bored at all. She may be angry or angry at this time."
Xie Mingxi was as cold as ice as usual: "It is unprecedented for a woman to be established as a prince. It is inevitable that the ministers will oppose fiercely. Come to think of it, everyone did not dare to openly accuse and curse A Luo, and all their anger was directed at Chen Zhan and the others. A Luo
Luo Ruo can't even bear this sullenness, so what kind of prince is she supposed to do?"
Gu Shanchang was angry and amused when he heard this: "Okay, okay, I'm the only one who feels sorry for Ah Luo. You, my dear mother, are not in a hurry at all."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi coughed: "Actually, I'm a little anxious and distressed. It's just that I'm good at pretending, and it doesn't show on my face like Master."
Gu Shanchang was amused and laughed: "You are good at everything, but you have an awkward temper and always refuse to tell the truth."
Xie Mingxi said half helplessly and half jokingly: "Isn't that right? I'm afraid I can't change my temper. Master, please bear with me."
…
After a while, Xianghui came to report again: "To report to the Empress, there was another move in the Jinluan Palace. The Emperor was furious, lost his temper, and immediately left the court."
This rhythm is similar to when A Luo was about to enter the court more than two years ago.
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly and gave an order: "Please ask Imperial Physician Zhou to go to Yiqing Hall immediately to treat Chen Yushi and others."
Gu Shanchang couldn't hold himself back and said in a low voice: "Why don't you send someone to call A Luo back to Jiaofang Hall and ask clearly."
At this time, going to the Qing Palace would only add to the chaos. It would be better to call A Luo back and ask her carefully.
Xie Mingxi nodded in agreement and passed on the order.
After two hours of burning incense, A Luo came back.
A Luo was obviously angry, her pretty face tightened, and sparks almost appeared in her eyes. Before Xie Mingxi opened her mouth to ask, A Luo said angrily: "It's so irritating! It makes me so angry."
