Mr. Cheng's worries are not unreasonable. In the past, the Ministry of Rites was under the control of Zhao Mingqi. Later, Zhao Mingqi was imprisoned in the East Palace, and his people in the Ministry of Rites were also liquidated. Mr. Cheng came up at that time.
Master Cheng is also an official from the imperial examination. He did a lot of practical things when he was young. Now that he is older and there are various factions in the court, he has become more cautious and does not dare to do anything to provoke. When people pay attention, they are afraid that one day fire will burn them.
If Zhao Mingqi came out of Yuanmingyuan, granted the title of Prince An, and took charge of the Ministry of Rites again, he would be the first to be unlucky.
Zhao Mingqi's mind is also very small. Anyone who offends him must be careful.
Compared with Master Cheng, Su Xun is much safer. After all, with the backing of Duke Jinning, Zhao Mingqi would not dare to attack him like this even if he wanted to take power.
Master Cheng thought about it and felt that his situation was not good, so he hurriedly came to Su Xun for discussion, and also wanted to seek the blessing of Duke Ning of Jinning.
Su Xun's face didn't look good either, but it wasn't because of his own situation. King Tang Sui was currently fighting fiercely with King Ming. If Zhao Ming sealed King An and came out of Yuanmingyuan, there would probably be another bloody storm.
Su Xun could also understand some of the emperor's thoughts.
Although Zhao Mingqi was not a king's material, it did not prevent the emperor from caring about the bloodline of Empress Yuanming. Now that Song Wanting had a child, if she gave birth to a boy and raised him well in the future, she might be able to pass on her position to him.
If this is the case, this child has a father who is a commoner, which will definitely become his shortcoming. In this way, Zhao Ming was granted the title of Prince An, and this child was a legitimate grandson of the emperor when he was born. There is no fault in it. Come.
Su Xun said: "Why do you need to worry about this, sir? Not to mention that His Majesty may not leave the Ministry of Etiquette to him. Even if he is in charge of it, you and I can't do it anymore. It is feasible to transfer or resign."
Mr. Cheng was stunned: "What? Resign? This is absolutely impossible!"
Mr. Cheng is not Su Xun. Su Xun has resigned from his official position, and his family is still a duke's palace. His descendants will have no worries about wealth and honor in the future. But if he resigns from his official position, his wealth will really come to an end.
It is said that this person is a man who has nothing to do but how many of his descendants will be able to take care of him in the future. It would be better for him to work for a few more years and make arrangements for these descendants.
"I'm just saying that this matter hasn't reached this point yet, so you don't need to worry too much. Let's just do things in a peaceful and orderly manner. If there is really nothing we can do, we won't fight him and just leave. , My life is at stake!"
"But now that the matter has come to this, I would like to remind you, sir, not to have anything to do with those people..."
When Mr. Cheng left Jinning Palace, he was in a daze. Su Xun looked at his old back and sighed softly.
No one wants to wade into this muddy water.
Even if I have enough energy to help at that time, I can't say anything now.
If you don't respond, if something happens to the other person in the future and you help him, he will burst into tears of gratitude and think it is a great favor. If you don't help him, it is reasonable.
But if he agrees now, if you don't help him when the time comes and let him get stuck in the quagmire, then you will have deep hatred.
As the sun set, the emperor's imperial edict arrived at Yuanmingyuan. He said that Zhao Mingqi had reflected on it for a long time and had known his mistakes. He was named Prince An and hoped that he would stay safe and not commit any crimes again. He immediately moved out of Yuanmingyuan and went to Prince An's Mansion.
After King Zhao learned the news, he hurried into the palace and had a quarrel with the emperor.
"Brother, do you know what you are doing? You still don't know what it is like above the court now? When you release people, do you want the court to be more chaotic, or do you want to learn from the late emperor and him? Let the sons below kill each other!"
"Don't you know what Zhao Mingqi is like? Could it be that the older you get, the more confused you become, and you still have illusions about him, thinking that he can shoulder this burden, or are you really, as people outside say, working for that person? The child in the belly paves the way!”
"Brother, when did you become so ridiculous? I don't know whether the child in your belly is a boy or a girl, or even whether it can be born! I don't know whether it will grow up in the future, or even whether it will become something useful. Know."
"If you do this, where will you put the world?! Where will you put the court?!"
King Zhao closed his eyes and felt a fire burning in his heart. He was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and fight.
Ever since the emperor ascended the throne and he became a prince, he had never been so angry, but this time, he was really angry.
The emperor was his half-brother, and the eldest brother he had always respected. Along the way, the two of them experienced countless lives and deaths, and climbed to the throne through a sea of blood.
He said that he wanted to be a wise king, govern the world well, and manage the court well. He also said that he only wanted peace in the world and a healthy country.
He also said that to be a loving father, he would not let his sons kill each other like they did before, and sit on the throne with the blood of their hands and feet.
But what about now? !
Now all this has simply pushed these princes into this fight!
King Zhao simply couldn't understand it.
The emperor calmly looked at King Zhao's face turning blue with anger, and said after a long time: "I don't understand what you said, but you also know that my body is not as good as before every year."
"Royal brother, I have no successor."
"The fourth child is the only son left by my wife and I. He is my favorite and I want to hand over the throne to him, but he is not up to the mark. As you said, he cannot sit in this position. If he does, I will give him the throne." Zhao Li is probably not far away from being destroyed."
"Lao Wu (King Sui) is somewhat capable, but his identity is feared. He relies most on the Zhao family to get to this day. The forces under him are also intertwined with clans. If he were the emperor, Even if he is determined, he still doesn’t know who will defeat whom in the end when he fights with this clan.”
"Maybe the majestic king of a country has become the puppet of this clan."
"Laoliu (King Ming), he seems to be doing something good now, but most of it is Su Ran who gives advice behind his back. How can he govern the world if he has no ability? And this Su Ran, I think, is really evil. Very, I have to guard against it!"
Is Su Ran evil? !
Naturally, it is evil.
This woman first entered the East Palace of Zhao Mingqi. After Zhao Mingqi was deposed, she went to work as an aide under King Ming. She was said to be an aide, but in fact she was the woman of King Ming. A woman served a pair of brothers successively, and now she even has a title. No, who knows what conspiracy she has.
Moreover, what this woman brought out really made the emperor jealous.
Prince Ming himself is stupid, and it is naturally even more inappropriate to have such a dangerous person by his side. He might be killed by this woman one day.
"Lao Jiu, this child is dull, has mediocre academics, mediocre abilities, and comes from a humble background, so he is no longer suitable."
"So, my dear brother, since you are here today, I will give you two choices."
"One. Princess An will give birth to a son in the future. If I am no longer here, you and Mingzhan will have to assist him until he grows up and can shoulder this burden."
"There is another one. I am afraid that I will wrong you. Give me your good son and let him call me father."
