With this speculation, he felt that His Highness was in an awkward position and was inconvenient. No wonder Xiaoer said that they had made various preparations.
After Nangong Yitian left, he also called the men of the Min family for a meeting to discuss the current situation.
He has one purpose for the men of the Min family, to help His Highness with all his abilities, to overcome obstacles and clear a way for His Highness.
On the next morning morning, Prime Minister Min returned to the court, stood in the court again, looked up at the Nine-Five-Year-Old Lord, and then looked at some of his old colleagues around him. Prime Minister Min really had mixed feelings.
After discussing some matters, Academician Hong came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something that I really don't want to express."
The emperor raised his eyes and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, the bachelor will say it."
"Your Majesty, this matter is a family matter of the Crown Prince and should not be mentioned in the court. However, it is related to the succession of royal descendants. I have to say that now His Highness only favors the Crown Princess. Although there are beautiful women in the East Palace, they are in name only. Without the favor of His Highness, it is impossible to get pregnant and give birth to children and grandchildren for the royal family. To put it bluntly, throughout the ages, favoring only one person in the harem can easily lead to the growth of relatives. In the past, it was okay for the princess to have no family, but now the Min family has returned to Beijing, and Assuming a high position and a high position of power, there is no guarantee that it will create hidden dangers for the Wei Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, I also have something to say." Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came forward and said: "I think what the scholar Hongda said is reasonable. Liang Yuan and Liang Di have entered the palace and their status has been determined. If you neglect them, it will appear that the prince is ruthless. I heard that, Hong Liangyuan has an upright and virtuous temperament, and even the empress and concubines are full of praise for her."
"I have also heard that the Queen has praised Hong Liangyuan no less than several times, saying that she is virtuous, gentle and a model of a destined woman, and can serve as a role model for women in the world. It is really inappropriate for such a woman to be left out."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard that Hong Liangyuan serves the Crown Princess diligently every day and does her duty without complaint. The Crown Princess should not be jealous and narrow-minded and suppress Liangyuan, and Qi Liangdi has also been serving the Queen. I did my best to relieve the Queen’s headache, but I really don’t deserve to be treated so coldly.”
Nangong Yitian listened to all this with a cold look in his eyes. It was only a matter of time before this matter reached the court. Academician Hong was right, the royal family had no family affairs, and his family affairs were also court affairs.
If this matter didn't come to the court, no one would care about it, but if it did, even the prince's close ministers would have trouble talking.
Because there is no way to defend this matter. It is indeed the case. People have married into the East Palace and cannot always hang around.
Prime Minister Min could not speak either, otherwise it would be as if he was trying to strengthen his relatives by confirming what Academician Hong said.
However, Academician Hong Da wanted to ask him, "Xiang Min, do you think what the official said is reasonable? The princess is your granddaughter, do you want to give her some advice?"
This was the first problem that Min Xiang faced after returning to Beijing.
An insoluble puzzle.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "This is the prince's family matter, and it is not for minor officials to interfere."
"Family affairs? This is related to the inheritance of the imperial lineage. How can it be regarded as family affairs? Is there any family affairs in the emperor's family?" Scholar Hong Da retorted.
"Yes, Prime Minister Min, you should advise the Crown Princess to be more generous."
"Yes, if you are a princess, but you are so narrow-minded and jealous, how can you become a role model for women in the world?"
Officials surrounded Prime Minister Min and seemed to be persuading him word by word, but in fact they forced him to express his position.
Just when Min Xiang didn't know how to answer, Nangong Yitian came out and said: "Not favoring them has nothing to do with the crown princess, it is my intention."
