Chapter 173: Proposal for Empress

Chunjia didn't say anything after reading the letter of abolishment, and only let the ministers read it.

He is the son of heaven who endured for many years before he was in charge of the government. He acted calmly but thoughtfully and meticulously. Since he planned to appoint the king of Wu as the heir, he should communicate in private that the arrangements should have been made long ago.

Now everyone saw Gu Zhen's suggestion, and they knew it clearly in their hearts. This was determined to set up the King of Wu, but they also wanted to preserve the Xuanqing Palace.

In fact, the courtiers are quite satisfied with the choice of King Wu. After all, King Wu is considered the third son of the emperor according to his age. In fact, he is not as good as the eldest son of the emperor, but he is only the same age.

In terms of family background, daughters of the Ji family might have been a taboo more than ten years ago. Now, the younger generation doesn’t know about the Ji family. What to say.

After all, King Wu, as the emperor's own flesh and blood, logically has the right to inherit the great line.

What's more, everyone has seen King Wu's talent these days and feels very satisfied. Temperament is neither arrogant nor impetuous, calm and polite, whether it is really calm and polite or fake, at least people have pretended to be these years, and they have been approved by the emperor, which is also a skill.

What satisfied everyone the most was that King Wu's adoptive mother and biological mother were all dead, and the concubine chosen by the emperor was not very noble, and the possibility of foreign relatives taking power in the future is not very high.

Moreover, the emperor did not appoint an heir to the imperial concubine because of his love, which made the ruling and opposition parties breathe a sigh of relief.

This made them feel that even though Chunjia had loved Concubine Min for many years, she was still clear-headed and unambiguous in major matters.

Now that the emperor wanted to preserve Concubine Min, it made them feel that the emperor sincerely wanted King Wu to inherit the throne.

In this case, most people feel that there is no need to disobey the emperor.

In life, who doesn't like favoritism at all?

Besides, after the abolishment, they took the initiative to build a ladder. Obviously, the internal communication of the Tian family has been well communicated, so why bother to add obstacles?

So everyone showed a shocked gesture, saying that they didn't expect the waste queen to be such a person!

After the shock is over, it is natural to discuss how to deal with it.

To tell the truth about this disposition, no one is willing to speak up.

After all, if it is serious, it will offend the future emperor and the current king of Wu; if it is light, it will offend the current favorite concubine.

If you don't say anything...

Chunjia showed them all, how could it be possible for them to stay out of the matter?

In the end, under the persecution of the emperor, all the ministers inquired about the news and made insinuations, and finally came up with a proposal that appealed to everyone: "... Gu's morals are mean, his temperament is tyrannical, he can't do it, he can't even do it. Enter the palace! It should be abolished as a commoner. The imperial heirs of the original Zhonggong, except for the king of Chongxin, are innocent. Now that the Gu family is gone, it is time to choose another virtuous concubine as a mother for education."

Needless to say, this virtuous concubine must be Concubine Min Guiyun Fenghuang.

It's just a rule in the palace that the adoptive mother of the emperor's heir must have a higher status than the biological mother, or the original adoptive mother, at least equal, otherwise he has no right to adopt.

Then it doesn't matter, there are vacancies in the left and right ranks, and Jin Guifei will be the successor, and continue to preside over the Yanfu Palace!

"We all know the nature of the noble concubine." When the courtiers said this, it was not that no one objected, "When I was a concubine, I suppressed the queen so much that I couldn't breathe. If I became the queen of the palace, how could King Wu deal with himself? What's more, the noble concubine still has an heir in her womb, if it's an imperial daughter, it's fine, if it's a male heir, then it's a legitimate son!"

"I'm still in my prime, wouldn't this add to the troubles of the royal family in the future!"

"Wu Wang's birth mother and adoptive mother have been humiliated by the imperial concubine, but now she has a deep affection for the imperial concubine, and she is determined to preserve her." A colleague reminded, "In this case, apart from the righteousness of the mother and child, is there any other way to ease the situation?" The relationship between the two parties? Don’t forget that the letter was written by the abolished queen, if there is no acquiescence or even a hint from His Majesty, how can people like us see it?”

He also said, "It is true that the noble concubine has an heir in her womb and may give birth to a legitimate son, but the third prince was originally recorded in the name of the empress dowager, but now the empress dowager is unbearable as a palace woman, please move out the heir under the name, since it must be recorded in the empress dowager Under the name, the noble concubine is the queen, so of course King Wu is also the son of the first son!"

As for whether doing so will definitely ensure that the emperor will live in harmony with the imperial concubine after a hundred years...

No one dared to say.

But at least it gave both sides a step, the emperor is still in his prime, and he still has the time to mediate slowly: Not two days after the proposal was made, the imperial concubine Wei Xiyan had not yet passed the door, the emperor discussed with the imperial concubine, Xie Wuzheng and Suian Xie Qingniao, Xie Xiaoyu, the righteous daughters of the Eldest Princess, and Xie Mengmeng, the first daughter of the Little Cui family, all hired King Wu as side concubines.

"Ah Huang, don't worry." Now that they have decided to hire the two nieces of the noble concubine to be the side concubines of the King of Wu, then the matter of establishing the crown prince is also clear.

Looking at Yun Fenghuang's silence, Chunjia felt a little sore in her heart, and said softly, "I will never teach you to be wronged."

"What did your Majesty say?" Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, got up gracefully, and said, "When will this concubine be someone who is willing to be wronged again?"

Looking at her expression, the emperor always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything. After a moment of hesitation, he left in embarrassment.

Only then did Yun Fenghuang turn cold, and said: "Go and ask Xiao Cui's mother and daughter, if this matter is settled, there is no need to change it. Are they sincere?"

The Qing people smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty asks, of course the maidservants will ask people to ask. But, let the maidservant tell the truth, when His Majesty revealed that he wanted to marry Xie's daughter as a side concubine for King Wu, the Eighteenth Young Master Madam and Miss Mengmeng, I am afraid that I will not be selected... The eighteenth young lady personally went to the empress to cry and complain that the eighteenth son's life is suffering, how can he change now? Miss Mengmeng knelt on the ground and promised that even if After serving the King of Wu, I will definitely be filial to you, this..."

If I try to persuade them now, the mother and daughter will not be able to see that the noble concubine is over, and they will not see that their nieces and daughters will not have a good future.

After all, they had planned to let Xie Mengmeng marry into the royal family earlier, although they are not the main family now, but the side concubine of the prince-to-be, the future high position in the court, is not much better than the concubine of the vassal?

How could it be possible to change his mind because of Yun Fenghuang's repeated inquiries?

"These two fools!" Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "Now that the emperor is here, and the palace is also here, King Wu would not dare to do anything wrong. The adopted daughter of brother 21 is far away in blood and love Weakness, I don't bother to care about it... Besides, that's Sui'an's heart, with the escort of Xiaozong's relatives and daughters! As for Mengmeng, it's up to me to marry a good family, even if she marries an irrelevant prince as a concubine. At Bengong's age, it's not that he can't protect her to get married and have children, and to stand firm in her husband's house! Even if Bengong is not good at that time, King Wu has no grudges with her, so why should he go to war and get involved?"

"If he is so ignorant, His Majesty will look down upon him!"

"Now that King Wu has a bright future, I will go to become a side concubine. In the future, once... life, death, honor and disgrace will all be in the hands of King Wu!"

"If they have the ability to control King Wu, it's fine, but if they have that ability, they will be so short-sighted?!"

The imperial concubine sighed again when she said this, "Forget it, let them do it. The eighteenth brother of this palace is not a smart one, and it is reasonable for his wife and daughter not to trust me."

The Qing people couldn't bear to hear it, and said in a low voice: "It's fine that Mrs. Cui is just an outsider. Miss Mengmeng is your niece and niece, but after all, she didn't grow up with you. Don't you think Miss Mu just declined?"

The monarchs and ministers hoped that King Wu and the noble concubine could reconcile. The original plan was to let Xie Mo and Xie Qingniao be side concubines for King Wu. After all, Xie Mo was also the niece of the noble concubine, and she grew up before the noble concubine.

However, after Xie Mu heard about this, she bluntly said that her aunt was like a mother, and everything was arranged by the imperial concubine.

After Yun Fenghuang clarified his interests with her, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly rejected the position of side concubine.

Thinking of this niece, Yun Fenghuang felt a little better, and said: "In fact, this child should have been out of the cabinet long ago, but it was my palace's troubles in the past two years, which delayed her. Forget it, let's start tomorrow. Her affairs are arranged."

Seeing Qing people's gloomy expression, he laughed, "Even if King Wu becomes the crown prince, he still wants to be a filial son and grandson in front of this palace. He wants to shake up and take care of his majesty's health, how many years will it be? There will be no good results at that time, and it will be many years later. Before that, His Majesty will be a good son to this palace for a day... What are you doing like this? King Wu is not even in despair , can't we people think about it first?"

Because he had no feelings for Xie Qingniao and was disappointed with Xie Mengmeng, Yun Fenghuang didn't give them any advice, so he just watched this matter with cold eyes.

On the contrary, King Wu was really considerate. After receiving the imperial decree of marriage, he even came over specially, expressing respectfully that he would treat the two side concubines well.

Yun Fenghuang listened, and said with a sneer: "You said you want to treat my two nieces well? Then how do you treat Zhengfei?"

"The concubine was bestowed by my father, and my ministers will respect her as a guest." King Wu seemed to have not seen her cold face, and was still respectful and cautious.

The imperial concubine leaned back and smiled: "Then you are treated like a guest with the concubine Zheng, but where are the two nieces of my palace?"

King Wu said: "Mother and concubine are joking, the main concubine and side concubine are all chosen by the emperor, they must be virtuous and virtuous, just like the mother concubine, Shumu concubine, and Demu concubine, they love sisters, so what is the position? ?”

"Don't talk sweet words to Ben Gong." Yun Fenghuang glanced at him lightly, and said, "I don't want to do this, it depends on how you do it."

Then I didn't bother to talk to him, and waved him away.

Chunjia watched this scene from beginning to end, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that Ah Huang is still upset."

The left and right dare not speak, the position of the crown prince, how important is that?

Even if the emperor was eccentric and insisted on paving the way to the Qingci Palace for the noble concubine, the people living in the Taichu Palace were not his own sons, or even sons raised by himself. What is the difference between the palace?

It's no wonder that the imperial concubine is having a good time.

The emperor thought about it for a while, then summoned King Wu to come to him, and told him to go to the Xuanqing Palace more: "Although the imperial concubine has a little temper, she has always favored and favored you children. You don't grow up in front of her." Daddy, of course she doesn't have the same sympathy for you as she does for other children, but after the final ceremony, you are also her child, and she will love you for a long time. After marriage, she will take care of the two concubines more, especially It's Xie Mengmeng, her biological father is the elder brother of the imperial concubine, and the brother and sister have a deep relationship. With her warming your cheeks in front of the imperial concubine, your mother and son will naturally be harmonious in the future."

King Wu felt that the emperor's impression of the noble concubine was purely talking nonsense with his eyes open, but of course he wouldn't say it, he just bowed his head to be taught, and echoed a few times from time to time.

After leaving the Palace of Absolute Beginning, his expression turned indifferent.

This year's summer vacation, because of the finalization of the position of the prince, only waiting to go through the process after returning to Beijing, the whole Qishan was quite shaken.

The one who was most impacted was actually not Yun Fenghuang, after all, she got the news from Yin Qu in advance, but the Ninth Prince who was promised by the imperial concubine that she would go all out to support him, as well as the ambitious King Jin, seemed to be affected by it. A blow to the head!

The Ninth Prince was alright, he lost his composure in his own room, but was able to hold on when he went out.

King Jin immediately begged to see Yun Fenghuang, and asked in disbelief: "How can the father treat the mother and concubine?!"
