Chapter 258 Bet
Chu Qinghuang said nothing, she was too lazy to speak at all.
Today's battle has become clear. Chu Tiankuo, Qin Guojiu, King Zhenbei, and several ministers from the Queen's party have joined forces to besiege her - taking advantage of the rumors to suppress her more and more. The more arrogant and arrogant.
Yeah, arrogant arrogance.
Let's put it this way, anyway, this is the truest thought in the hearts of all the ministers. The eldest princess's arrogance is getting more and more arrogant. If she doesn't suppress her, she will really be superior to everyone.
So there is no point in wasting words and words with them, just let them vent their saliva.
"Prince Rong." His Majesty the Emperor turned to look at Prince Rong, "Tell me something."
Prince Rong respectfully replied: "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has accumulated a lot of achievements during this period. The six million extra silver in the national treasury is all due to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. A mere birthday banquet does not cost much silver. With Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess It’s nothing compared to his achievements.”
The implication is very clear, the eldest princess has earned all this by herself, and she deserves it.
After a pause, Prince Rong muttered again: "As for the Dongling tribute ceremony...it is said that a man is true to his word and cannot be chased by a horse. Her Royal Highness the Princess is a woman, and it is okay to break her promise once in a while. As broad-minded ministers, we We should look at the good qualities of Her Royal Highness and be tolerant of trivial mistakes. Otherwise, it will inevitably make people feel disappointed. How will Her Royal Highness continue to serve the Emperor in the future? "
How to do things for the emperor?
The ministers present wished that the eldest princess would live in seclusion and never get involved in court affairs again!
As long as she can stay on her own terms, no matter how violent her temper becomes in the future, or how many male pets she wants to get in her backyard, they will never say another word.
This world is a man's world, why would a princess get involved?
She is just a girl, but she really wants to shake up the country?
The emperor turned to look at Chu Xuanyi: "Xuanyi, what do you think?"
Chu Xuanyi answered concisely and concisely: "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has made more achievements than her faults, and I am sincerely convinced."
"Gong is merit, fault is fault, how can they be confused?!" Uncle Qin said coldly, "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess issued a military order at the beginning, and the Emperor also said that if Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess cannot do what she promised - —”
"Uncle Qin Guo." Chu Qinghuang spoke slowly, with a voice as indifferent as snow, "Why are you so excited? There are still three days until July."
Uncle Qin's voice was stuck, and then he said: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, means that the promise will be fulfilled within three days?"
Chu Qinghuang nodded casually: "That's what I mean."
"What if it can't be fulfilled?"
His aggressive tone made the emperor unhappy, and King Rong frowned: "Uncle Qin is so aggressive, is he frightened by the rumors in the imperial city?"
Uncle Qin was dissatisfied: "What does King Rong mean by this? Dongling is a powerful country and cannot be easily provoked. The promises made by Her Royal Highness the Princess are absurd. Are we all going to deceive ourselves and others?"
Chu Qinghuang said in a leisurely tone: "Let's do this. I will make a bet with Uncle Qin."
Uncle Qin Guo looked worried: "What does the eldest princess want to bet on?"
"Within three days, we bet on the arrival of the Dongling envoy." Chu Qinghuang glanced coldly at the group of ministers in front of him, "If the Dongling envoy does not arrive within three days as promised, then I will hand over the The silver-armored soldier was stripped of her title as eldest princess, and she stayed behind closed doors from now on, no longer caring about the affairs of the court. "
The emperor's expression changed: "Qinghuang!"
The ministers were shocked when they heard this and exchanged meaningful glances with each other.
As long as Chu Qinghuang hands over his power and no longer interferes with the affairs of the court, the position of prince must belong to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan. Who else will be his opponent?
As long as he successfully becomes the prince, it doesn't matter if there are rumors outside?
"Is your Royal Highness the eldest princess serious?"
"Although I am a woman, I can still say what I say, which is hard to follow." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "I wonder what Uncle Qin plans to bet on?"
Uncle Qin was stunned, he?
"I can let you all share the bet equally." Chu Qinghuang said in a calm tone, without distinguishing between joy and anger, "Do you want to participate, Brother Two?"
Chu Tiankuo's face changed slightly.
The chips offered by Chu Qinghuang were too exciting to refuse. Whether it was the rumors that were brewing outside or the power in Chu Qinghuang's hands, they were all things that made him feel uneasy.
However, as long as Chu Qinghuang loses the power and the title of eldest princess, all these uneasiness can disappear instantly.
Chu Tiankuo no longer has to worry about winning her over, nor does he need to worry about her dealing with ministers of his own faction, nor does he need to guess whether she really has ambitions that she shouldn't have.
All problems can be solved easily.
At this moment, the people present seemed to have forgotten the existence of the emperor. They were thinking of pulling Chu Qinghuang down. It would be best to strip her of her title, seize her military power, and... abolish her martial arts.
Chu Tiankuo suddenly had vicious thoughts.
Chu Qinghuang's existence has become a thorn in his heart. A few days ago, he desperately wanted to win over her, but now he just wants to destroy her.
But don’t worry about the last one.
When he becomes the prince and ascends the throne as emperor, wouldn't it be easy to deal with a princess who has lost her military power?
"Brother Wei doesn't seem to have any particularly valuable chips in his hand." Chu Tiankuo perfectly concealed the darkness in his heart and said with a smile, "I wonder what Qimei wants me to bet on?"
"Since I have staked my title of the eldest princess, the equivalent is naturally your title of the prince." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "I just wonder if my second brother dares to gamble?"
Chu Tiankuo was shocked and subconsciously glanced at the emperor: "The title of the prince?"
Chu Qinghuang nodded.
"This is absolutely not allowed!" Qin Guojiu said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness Xuan Wang's title was conferred by the emperor himself, how can it be used as a bet at will? This is not-"
"My title of the eldest princess was also conferred by my father." Chu Qinghuang interrupted him calmly, "The military power in my hands was given by my father."
The emperor exhaled lightly, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
There is nothing to worry about.
He looked at his daughter with a cold expression and calm demeanor, and then looked at the aggressive ministers in the hall, and a hint of irony flashed across his eyes.
This is his good son and good minister.
Before the rumors started, they could still remain calm and maintain their hypocritical gentlemanly demeanor. However, just a few rumors flying around made them suddenly confused. The important officials in the court who were at the core and could shake the area with a stomp of their feet, the right-hand men in the court who had been immersed in officialdom for decades and were in their fifties and sixties, besieged his fifteen-year-old daughter in front of him, the emperor.
It really opened his eyes.
It really opened his eyes.
The emperor suppressed his sneer in his heart. They were so eager to deprive Qinghuang of her title and take back her military power. They no longer had even a little disguise. They really played the ugly appearance of the powerful officials forcing the emperor to abdicate.
If they really got what they wanted, would they force him to give up the throne in the next step?
