After listening to Zhao Feng's words, Zhou Zhencai smiled, nodded slightly, and said.
"What you said makes me unable to refute it."
"Indeed, as you said, these ministers do not want me to make them kings at all, they just want to make the situation clearer."
When Zhou Zhen said this, he looked at Zhao Feng with a half-smile.
"But if I reject this matter, I must give these ministers a suitable reason. This is also an unspoken rule in the court."
Zhao Feng nodded to indicate that he knew about this.
Although the imperial power is supreme, the emperor needs the assistance of these ministers after all. If he directly and forcefully rejects the suggestions of these ministers without being able to give a reasonable explanation, he will be said to be stubborn by these ministers. .
But for this reason, Zhao Feng didn't have any good solution. After all, Zhao Feng couldn't think of a suitable reason to stop the ministers' proposal.
Perhaps the only reason is that Zhou Rui still has the possibility of becoming the prince, but this is exactly what all the ministers do not want to see.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng said tentatively.
"Your Majesty, I heard that if the prince encounters some major events, his title of king can be postponed."
"I wonder if Your Majesty has any ideas in this regard?"
Zhou Zhen was startled for a moment, then frowned.
"Are you saying let him get married?"
Zhao Feng nodded slightly.
If at this juncture a marriage was proposed to Zhou Rui and they got married, those ministers would not say anything more.
In this case, it will usually be delayed for a period of time until the situation has completely stabilized before being crowned king.
But if Zhou Rui gets married, if he is not crowned king, it means that he is still qualified to inherit the throne, which will make the situation equally clear.
But what they lack most now is time. After all, the ministers in the court are in a very free time, so they often mention this matter.
If they can delay it for a while, they may make these ministers forget about this matter and stop mentioning the matter of being crowned king.
Zhou Zhen looked a little distressed at this time and waved his hand casually.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
"I believe you will be able to find a good match for him!"
Zhao Feng nodded respectfully, but he was already complaining in his heart.
What kind of thing is this? I am just a middle school scholar, but now I have to shoulder the responsibility of being a matchmaker for the prince?
But if he wanted to find a suitable wife for Zhou Rui, Zhao Feng had to ask one more thing.
Seeing Zhou Zhen's somewhat irritable expression, Zhao Feng opened his mouth and finally asked through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being brave. I would like to know what your Majesty thinks of the eldest prince?"
As soon as Zhao Feng said these words, Zhou Zhen's face suddenly showed an expression of displeasure. He quietly looked at Zhao Feng who was standing there with his head bowed and cupped his hands, and said in a calm tone.
"Zhao Sheren, you asked a little too much."
Zhao Feng still held his hands respectfully, as if he insisted on asking the answer to this question.
Zhou Zhen took a deep breath, nodded slowly and said.
"I can only say that his chances are slim."
Zhao Feng received Zhou Zhen's answer, quickly thanked him respectfully, and then quietly retreated.
Watching Zhao Feng leave, the displeasure on Zhou Zhen's face slowly disappeared, and then he sighed softly.
"I hope he can understand my painstaking efforts!"
Zhao Feng had been thinking about this matter in his mind. After leaving the palace, he did not go to Zhongshu Province Yamen, but turned around and came to the fourth prince's mansion.
When I came here and asked about it, I found out that Princess Jinyang Zhou Tong had already left. It turned out that Princess Jinyang also had a courtyard in the capital. It was specially rewarded by Zhou Zhen when he gave Princess Jinyang the title. The purpose is to allow her to return to the capital often.
After asking for the address, Zhao Feng quickly found it.
Zhou Zhen asked him to introduce a wife to Zhou Rui. How did he know those ladies from famous families in the capital?
Therefore, we can only ask Princess Zhou Tong of Jinyang to help with this matter.
When he arrived at Princess Jinyang's residence, he informed the disciples that Zhao Feng was waiting here quietly.
After a while, Princess Jinyang actually welcomed her out in person.
"Mr. Zhao, are you here?"
Zhao Feng bowed his hands respectfully, raised his head and was stunned for a moment.
I saw Princess Jinyang dressed extremely beautifully at this time, wearing a pomegranate red tube top pleated skirt, and some exquisite hair accessories as embellishments on her head.
In addition, Princess Jinyang used the cosmetics she gave her to make up, and she looked even more beautiful.
Women in this era had the habit of painting their eyebrows. Because Princess Jinyang did not bring the cosmetics with her when she went to Zhou Kang's mansion, it was not as refined as it is now.
For a moment, Zhao Feng couldn't help but look dumbfounded.
When Princess Jinyang saw Zhao Feng's appearance, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering, then said to Zhao Feng with a blushing face.
"Mr. Zhao came to see me. What's the matter?"
Only then did Zhao Feng slap his forehead and suddenly remembered the matter.
But because he has been in the officialdom for a long time, Zhao Feng always praises others first.
"It is true that I have something to ask the princess for help, but when I saw the beauty of Her Highness, I became obsessed with it for a moment. It is really a sin."
Zhou Tong nodded lightly with some joy. Although after she put on makeup, everyone who saw her praised her beauty, but being praised by them but not praised by Zhao Feng at all made her heart even sweeter.
"I came to see Her Highness the Princess this time because I wanted to ask when Her Highness plans to invite those young ladies from famous families."
"I have one more thing here. I wonder if I can go in and talk about it?"
Zhou Tong nodded quickly and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Zhao Feng followed Zhou Tong and walked in. The two of them came to the main hall together. When walking through the small courtyard, Zhao Feng discovered that Zhou Tong's small courtyard was very beautifully decorated. It was enough to see that he had put a lot of thought into decorating this small courtyard. of.
After the two sat down in order, Zhao Feng sighed softly.
"Your Highness, the things you asked me to help with before are now clear."
Zhou Tong was suddenly pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that she had just told Zhao Feng about this matter, and Zhao Feng had already done it.
It seems that Zhao Feng is indeed as Zhou Kang said, not only extremely talented, but also very good to his friends.
Zhou Tong was thinking this in his mind, and suddenly he was slightly startled. Are he and Zhao Feng considered friends?
Zhao Feng did not notice Zhou Tong's expression.
