Wenyuan Pavilion.
Perhaps because of the death of Emperor Longqing, there were particularly many memorials today.
The three bachelors were buried in a mountain of official documents and were busy processing the memorials submitted from various places.
At this time, Emperor Longqing had just passed away, the queen was ill, and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. General affairs were handled by the three bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion.
If it involves something more important but does not need to be dealt with urgently, put it aside first and wait until the overall situation is stable.
For some urgent compositions, the three bachelors discussed together and put forward their opinions on how to deal with them, and then sent them to the harem for personal review by the empress.
But this kind of thing has not happened yet.
At this moment, Zhuo Yungui picked up a memorial, which was played by the Minister of War. The memorial said: The late emperor passed away, and the whole country mourned. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The late emperor has not established a prince. The eldest prince Zhao Wei is the eldest son of the late emperor. , loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, both civil and military, I boldly advised you to ask the eldest prince to succeed you and rectify the country!
Zhuo Yungui frowned, put this memorial aside for the time being, and picked up another memorial.
Who knew that the next memorial would also be a memorial to invite the eldest prince Zhao Wei to ascend the throne.
Zhuo Yungui flipped through and found more than fifty memorials below. There were more than forty memorials just for inviting the eldest prince Zhao Wei to ascend the throne.
He glanced at the two bachelors who were still dealing with the memorial, then stood up and said with a faint smile on his face: "Two adults, today I am really eye-opening."
"Oh, what could possibly surprise the well-informed Mr. Zhuo Ge?"
Putting down the memorial in his hand, Xu Shoufu raised his head from the pile of memorials.
Although Mr. Gao Ge on the other side did not speak, he also looked at Zhuo Yungui.
Zhuo Yungui picked up the more than forty memorials, flashed them in front of the two of them, and then said: "Two adults, please see, so many memorials, all of them are memorials to invite the eldest prince Zhao Wei to ascend the throne. You say, Isn’t it strange?”
Zhuo Yungui didn't even have to think about it. These memorials must have been carried out under the instruction of someone.
"Hey, what did I think was going on?"
Gao Ge Lao, who had been watching with cold eyes, smiled and said: "After the death of the late emperor, it is not strange for hundreds of officials to submit a letter asking for a new emperor."
"Don't tell me where you are, I have more than thirty copies here."
Mr. Gao Ge raised the memorial in his hand, which was also a thick stack.
Xu Shoufu smiled and shook his head, commenting: "Master Zhuo is so rare and strange."
"A country cannot live without a king for a day, and I have more than fifty books here."
The two of them sang together, making Zhuo Yungui look like he was making a fuss.
"Don't you two adults find it strange?"
Zhuo Yungui said seriously: "Even if hundreds of officials submitted a petition to establish a new emperor, why did so many people unanimously submit a petition to invite the eldest prince Zhao Wei to ascend the throne, but the second prince did not mention it at all?"
Mr. Gao Ge retorted: "Master Zhuo, the eldest prince Zhao Wei is the eldest son. Since ancient times, he has established the elder rather than the younger. This is the tradition of the imperial family. Besides, the second prince is young now and it is really difficult for him to take on a big responsibility!"
When Zhuo Yungui heard this, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Mr. Gao Ge and asked, "So, this is what Mr. Gao Ge meant?"
Mr. Gao Ge sneered: "So what?"
"Mr. Zhuo, do you have any other opinions?"
Zhuo Yungui refused to give in and said, "Yes, I think the second prince Zhao Ning is more suitable!"
The atmosphere between the two people suddenly became subtle. Wisps of air swirled in front of the two people, spinning many items in the room.
For a moment, it was like a tornado blew up in Wenyuan Pavilion.
"This is the palace, not outside. You two, don't mess around!"
At this moment, Xu Shoufu said in a deep voice, and under the influence of the powerful Haoran's righteousness, he suppressed the momentum of the two people, and all the strange phenomena in the room disappeared.
After the two of them regained their composure, Xu Shoufu slowly said: "A country cannot live without a king for a day. Since so many people have submitted letters, we, as bachelors, should truthfully gather the opinions of all the officials together, and then invite the Queen to Make a decision!"
Zhuo Yungui originally thought that Xu Shoufu would refute Mr. Gao Ge, but he didn't know that deep in his words, he seemed to mean to support Mr. Gao Ge.
He couldn't help but said with a hint of anger: "The Queen is pregnant, and she was already ill because of the death of the late emperor. If you submit the memorial at this time, wouldn't you kill her?"
The late emperor's posthumous son was still in his belly, but now he wanted to make other princes emperor.
No matter which prince ascends the throne, it will be a harm to the Queen.
According to Zhuo Yungui's intention, even if a new king is appointed, there is no need to report it to the queen at this time.
You can wait until her body recovers a little before reporting.
"A country cannot live without a king for a day, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer!"
Gao Ge Lao said beside him with added jealousy.
Zhuo Yungui looked at Xu Shoufu, but the other party avoided his eyes and remained silent. It was obvious that he acquiesced in what Mr. Gao Ge said.
】
"Okay, very good!"
When Zhuo Yungui saw this, he became furious and walked away directly.
After Zhuo Yungui left, Mr. Gao Ge looked at Xu Shofu and asked, "Sir Shofu, Zhuo Yungui has left. Should this memorial be submitted or not?"
A waste who only knows how to fight, Xu Shoufu glanced at Gao Ge Lao and then said: "It doesn't matter, the opinions of the two of us are enough."
Mr. Gao Ge nodded and began to draft a memorial.
After a while, the senior general at the high pavilion prepared the memorial, looked at Xu Chief Assistant, and asked curiously: "I dare to ask Mr. Chief Assistant, I have always been confused in my heart. You are already the Chief Assistant, why do you still want to wade through this muddy water?"
Hearing the words, Xu Shoufang opened the ban of Wenyuan Pavilion with a thought, then stood up and said slowly: "Chief Assistant, what is the use of the Chief Assistant? If the Holy One wants to dispense with it, it is just a thought. "
"You and I have been ups and downs in the Daxuan court for more than fifty years, and have experienced Jiaming and Longqing. Can't we still see it?"
"Especially the late emperor, who already had the intention to cultivate Zhuo Yungui to replace you and me."
"But if we seize the opportunity when the new emperor ascends the throne and become ministers who care about life, our status will not change for at least ten years, and we can still serve our descendants..."
The two discussed in Wenyuan Pavilion for a long time, and then walked quickly towards Changle Palace.
...
Si Tianjian, Lanxing Tower.
Zhuo Yungui's figure turned into a looming shadow and soon reached the top of Lanxing Tower.
At this time, in Lanxing Tower, Guo Jianzheng and Zizhu layman were playing chess.
"Both of you, at this point, are you still in the mood to play chess?"
Zhuo Yungui came to the chessboard with a breeze.
"Mr. Zhuo Ge, what news have you heard?"
Zizhu layman put down a flag, looked at Zhuo Yungui and asked.
Since the Chongyang True Immortal's message, he has come to this Lanxing Tower to keep company with Guo Jiuzheng to protect the imperial city. At the same time, he can use Guo Jiuzheng's deduction skills to observe the situation in Daxuan.
"You should have received yesterday's summons, right?"
Zhuo Yungui didn't wait for Master Zizhu to answer, and then said: "What I expected yesterday was true. Those two people showed their fangs today and are preparing to elect the eldest prince Zhao Wei to the throne!"
"Zhao Wei?"
Zizhu layman frowned.
The eldest prince Zhao Wei was naughty by nature, but he had already heard about it.
Logically speaking, Xu Shoufu is not stupid, so why should he help Zhao Wei ascend?
"Yes, at this time, they should have already brought the memorial and went to present it to the Queen."
Zhuo Yungui added.
Guo Jianzheng on the side had deduced it clearly by moving his fingers slightly, and nodded to indicate that it was indeed the case.
His cultivation level has reached the first level since he exchanged it for several rare elixirs in the Palace of Eternal Life.
Master Zizhu was about to speak when a tall figure jumped out of the window into Lanxing Tower and landed in front of several people.
