A breath was held in the hearts of the ministers, unable to come in or out, and the blockage was very uncomfortable.
This group of people is the smartest group of people in this empire. It is a rare occasion for them to work together and spend countless efforts to direct a drama that will be remembered forever.
But just as the show kicked off, it was just a small prelude, and when everyone was waiting for their heartfelt performance, the most important villain actually simply lay down!
Niang Xipi!
I charged up enough power to strike, but I couldn't hit it at all!
Official, I'll give you another chance. Please take back the word you just said and follow the script again!
You want to lie down, but you have to wait until we finish our action before you can lie down!
"Your Majesty agrees to follow the instructions of Wu Yan, the imperial censor!"
The male duck's voice sounded, and the tool man Dong Songchen finished the last hit, secretly rejoicing in his heart, "Zhao Mengqi, you are about to die, let's see if you dare to be arrogant in front of our family in the future!" '
Zhao Guanjia looked at the stunned ministers in the palace, with amusement flowing in his eyes, and his heart felt as good as drinking a jar full of ice water in the dog days of summer.
"You are such loyal ministers. Regarding the matter of establishing a heir, I am indeed a little stubborn, but fortunately I woke up early and it is not too late to remedy the situation."
Zhao Guanjia smiled and spoke like a breeze, but even a fool could see the pride and faint mockery in it.
Mother!
on purpose!
The officials actually did it on purpose!
The ministers were furious and began to roar at the emperor in their hearts!
Do you know what you are doing?
This is a naked insult!
What are we? We are soldiers!
A taxi that can be killed but not humiliated!
Your behavior has caused serious harm to our souls!
When they realized that they had been treated like monkeys by the emperor, the officials were very angry, but they could not vent at all.
How to vent? I have complied with your wishes and agreed to your request. How can I say, Your Majesty, you agreed too quickly and we haven't performed yet.
Although this is indeed the case, why do you have the nerve to say this?
After all, we are all scholars, how can we say such things with our mouths?
For a time, the ministers were thinking a lot, and silence returned to the hall.
At this time, Wu Yan, who was still kneeling on the ground, slowly came back to his senses.
A huge wave of ecstasy rushed into his body, hahaha, he originally just wanted to win a jackpot, but he didn't expect that he was wrapped up! Ha ha ha ha……
This guy was smiling in his heart, and he actually laughed out loud unconsciously, and his voice was not quiet, "Hahaha..."
kindness? !
The sudden laughter immediately aroused the anger of the officials, and everyone stared at Wu Yan as if looking at a corpse.
"Haha!" Wu Yan was enveloped in this murderous gaze, and his throat was immediately strangled, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Mother, no, comrades, we are on the same side!
The ministers can't hear Wu Yan's voice, otherwise they will definitely be very disdainful of him. You alone have taken advantage of it. Who the hell is a comrade with you? "With the same virtue, we have the same heart, and with the same heart, we are comrades." What kind of relationship do I have with you? Already?
Finding that the ministers' eyes were still hostile, Wu Yan felt extremely aggrieved. In anger, he thought, since you treat me as an outsider, don't blame me for not leaving any benefits to you!
"Your Majesty Wu Yan, there is still a memorial!"
Zhao Guanjia looked at this little shrimp with great interest and smiled, "Wu Qinggong is loyal to the country. I have benefited a lot from his heartfelt words just now. I will report it again, and there will definitely be some good words. Even if I report it, Come."
The ministers were inexplicably surprised. Isn't this guy who got such bad luck with the smoke coming out of his mother's ancestor's grave still not satisfied?
Wu Yan received the permission, calmed down his expression, ignored the warning eyes of the officials, and said loudly, "I personally believe that the prince should put intelligence first and kindness as his body, and then be educated by your majesty, he will definitely become a generation of saints. Your Majesty. In theory, the succession to the throne should have been decided by His Majesty with one heart. It is against his duty to discuss it for the ministers. However, since the minister is selfless, he should risk his own life to recommend him without fear of criticism or guilt."
At this point, Wu Yan also knew that he was violating a taboo, but thinking about the huge profits after success, his gambling instinct became overwhelming, and he found that there was no unpleasant look on the official's face, so he continued to be bold.
"I have a neighbor named Zhao Yuqi. I accidentally learned that he is also the ninth grandson of King Yan. He has a son, Zhao Mengxi, who is fourteen years old. He has read all four books and is erudite in classics. He is extremely intelligent. Therefore, I risk my life to recommend Zhao Mengxi as the prince. , I have a public heart, I am panic-stricken and don’t know what to say, and I hope your majesty will forgive me.”
The King of Yan in his mouth was Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Song Taizu.
As for Zhao Yun of the Zhao Guan family, he was originally the ninth grandson of Zhao Dezhao, and he was the same generation as the Zhao and Shen that Wu Yan mentioned.
Of course, the family may actually have separated five or six generations ago, and the blood relationship is actually very weak, but ethically speaking, the two are brothers, and there is nothing wrong with adopting the brother's son in terms of feudal legal principles.
After Wu Yan finished speaking, he was also very frightened. His vest was already wet, but it was just too thick to see.
However, Zhao Guanjia still showed no emotion or anger on his face, but seemed to be deep in thought.
There's drama! Wu Yan's heart was pounding, there was no greater merit than Cong Long! No, I am even worse, this is the merit of my support! It’s like ten generations of wealth!
At this time, all the ministers were anxious and jealous! We can’t let this little shrimp get all the credit! This is a once-in-a-century opportunity!
Some thoughtful people were originally worried that the officials were using a delaying tactic today, and they also wanted to completely decide on the candidates today and do it in one step to avoid recurrence.
As teachers, Ye Mengding and Yang Dong were worried about Zhao Mengqi and didn't know how to save his position.
There are also some important ministers who consider more from the perspective of the country and sincerely want to choose a suitable prince, and do not consider their personal interests too much.
Anyway, nearly a hundred officials have their own thoughts, but none of them is calm. No one can escape the influence of the reserve!
At this moment, the civil service group that had been united before split apart! It can even be said that it is broken!
It's just out of the prudence of scholars that most of them try their best to restrain themselves, and they still have some concerns. "It won't take ten years for scholars to rebel." This is the mentality.
Zhao Guanjia's face was very calm, but he saw all the ministers' behaviors, and he sighed in his heart. The emperor's mind is actually the grasp of people's hearts. After being the emperor for thirty years, he had to remind him before he could figure it out. But that silly boy saw through it in just one breath.
Thinking of this, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
In the crowd, Ding Daquan was filled with hatred. This Wu Yan was originally his younger brother, so it didn't matter if he only got the credit. After all, it was a negotiated step. It can only be said that he was lucky if he started it and completed it.
However, when he recommended Zhao Mengxi, he was completely inflated and openly betrayed himself and Concubine Yan!
That's right, Ding Daquan secretly took refuge with Concubine Yan. It was originally agreed that after Zhao Mengqi's reserve position was removed, Concubine Yan could use her influence on the official family to select candidates for the reserve position.
Even though Concubine Yan has no son of her own, she can adopt one, and the candidate has already been chosen.
There may be greater criticism of this candidate from the outside world, but there is a high probability that it will be recognized by Zhao Guanjia. As long as it is done properly, there will basically be no problem.
Now that Wu Yan, a rebellious guy, was messing with him, there was no time to operate slowly, so Ding Daquan decided to risk it all.
"Your Majesty, I think that this Zhao Mengxi is not suitable. Although he and Your Majesty are from the same branch as the King of Yan, his blood is actually very weak. If Your Majesty wants to choose an adopted son, he should choose someone close to him by blood, both emotionally and rationally. I think His Majesty’s nephew, Wei Guansun is the best candidate!”
This Wei Guansun is the son of Zhao Guan's sister. Regardless of the clan lineage, he is indeed the closest descendant besides Zhao Mengqi.
Although it is a foreign surname, there are often examples of adopted relatives and nephews among the people. For example, Ye Mengding's original surname was Chen, but he changed his surname to Ye after he came out of his mother's family.
It's a bit special just because it involves the throne, not to mention that those clans will definitely have strong opinions, and it's not like everyone surnamed Zhao is dead!
After Ding Daquan opened his mouth, other ministers naturally couldn't hold back anymore. Regardless of whether it was for public or private reasons, they had to give it a try.
Ancestor Ma Guang stood up. With his status, no one else dared to compete with him. "I also recommended someone. I know that Zhao Yumin of Pingjiang Prefecture is the ninth grandson of King Qin and the same generation as your Majesty. He had a new son in his family last year." , his name is Zhao Mengfu, he is talented, healthy and smart, if he is adopted by your majesty, he will definitely be deeply affectionate and have no worries in the future!"
The implication is that if the child is raised from a young age and has feelings, it will be less likely for incidents like 'Pu Yi' to occur. This can be regarded as for the sake of Zhao Guan's family.
At this time, Cheng Yuanfeng, the Minister of Power and Industry, also stood up and said, "I think this is Ma Shangshu's mature strategy for the country, and I support it!"
"I have informed you that Zhao Heyun, the grandson of Zhao Jujing, the Zongzheng of Nanwai, is studying in Lin'an. He is sixteen years old. He is steady yet intelligent, tolerant and tolerant. He should be a suitable candidate for the crown prince!" Hong Tianxi, the supervisory censor, relied on his own With a loud voice, he also proposed recommended candidates.
Moreover, Left Prime Minister Xie Fang Shu also stood up and said, "I also think Zhao Heyun is the best candidate!"
Now that the Right Prime Minister is vacant, Uncle Xie Fang is naturally the Prime Minister and the Independent Prime Minister. He is the head of the hundred officials. When he speaks, the voices of the ministers become much quieter.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Ye Mengding and Yang Dong had no choice but to grit their teeth and say at the same time, "I believe that being loyal to the king is not unethical and should not be easily stored up!"
Zhao Mengqi is not a prince now, but he is a unique prince. He does not have the name of a prince, but he has the actual status of a prince.
So as long as Zhao Guan's family really chooses someone else to adopt him as the prince, then even if he retains his status as prince, it will be easy to save!
Since ancient times, it is difficult for those who have been deposed to have a good ending, so even if they put aside everything else, just from the relationship between master and disciple, it is difficult for the two of them to accept that their disciple is deposed.
However, the words of Ye Mengding and Yang Dong immediately seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest. No matter which faction they belonged to, they all spoke out to refute them.
What do you two mean? ?
Is it a joke that everyone is doing this today?
We can discuss whoever we choose, but Zhao Mengqi must get out!
In the midst of the turmoil, Ye Mengding and Yang Dong looked bitter and could not express their opinions at all.
On the other hand, the Zhao Guan family looked at these two alternative people quite unexpectedly and remembered them deeply in their hearts.
