"Your Highness, what's the explanation for this? Are they bad?" Scholar Hong asked, "But even the Queen said that they are virtuous and upright. If there is anything bad about them, please be careful." Teach them so that they can serve His Highness as soon as possible and spread their wings for the Royal Family."
"Yes, His Highness is the crown prince, and he has the orthodox bloodline of the royal family. He should consider the future generations of the country."
Nangong Yitian said sternly: "The Crown Princess has already given birth to a legitimate son, and now she is pregnant. Isn't she giving birth to a royal bloodline? I have been busy with state affairs these days. I just came back from Beiying on business the day before yesterday, and I didn't even have a proper meal." Take a bite, you are all living in the temple, not thinking of being loyal to the country, and focusing on my family affairs all day long, it is just nonsense."
"Besides, is it appropriate to discuss these matters in the boudoir in the court? Is there anything that can't be said to me in private? If other countries or people know that what we are discussing in the court is actually matters in the prince's room, wouldn't it be unreasonable? Is it too generous to make people laugh?"
The harsh words made them speechless for a moment.
After the prince spoke, his confidants also came out to speak. One said that the prince was busy, diligent in government and caring for the people, and had no thoughts of women in his heart, which was a blessing to the country and the country.
One said that the prince had been injured and had to be cured with difficulty. He should not indulge in sexual activities, otherwise he would be harmed.
The emperor never made a loud noise. He just watched the people below discussing. Seeing that Academician Hong Da and others could not argue, he slowly said, "This matter will be discussed later. Let's withdraw from the court."
Not discussing it today does not mean that the matter has been settled.
They would put pressure on Xiang Min privately.
Because Prime Minister Min's position is the most difficult, his status is destined to prevent him from speaking for the Crown Princess.
Sure enough, as soon as they exited, Academician Hong and several others pestered Min Xiang to talk, hoping that Min Xiang could persuade the prince and princess.
They did not dare to go to Nangong Yitian, because His Highness only needed to say that he was busy with national affairs, and they would have nothing to say.
At most, he could say that we should pay attention to the balance between work and rest when the state affairs are busy, but he is not willing to balance work and rest, so what else can he say?
When Prime Minister Min returned to the cabinet, they were still chattering. Prime Minister Min just listened and did not express any opinions.
At the end, he said, "Don't worry, the Prime Minister will advise His Highness, but I dare not say whether Your Highness listens to the Prime Minister's words."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. What else could be said? You can’t let Min Xiang guarantee it, right?
Therefore, I had to quit one by one.
Min Xiang sighed softly and shook his head.
It was said in court today that the Queen was full of praise for Liangdi Liangyuan, and in a few days the people outside will also know.
They have gained fame, but they are still ignored. This will damage the reputation of the crown prince and crown princess.
This is still a different approach, using things in the inner court to harm the prince.
Today, the emperor could have directly issued an order to let the prince favor those two people, but the emperor did not issue an order. It seemed that he respected the prince, but it made it impossible for the prince to get out of the vortex.
Because, in addition to issuing decrees, the emperor can also shut up the officials and ask them to care about state affairs and stop focusing on the affairs of the prince's house.
But the emperor didn't say anything, or even made any comments. Wouldn't this have given Academic Hong Da and the others a message that they could continue to quarrel over this matter?
If the commotion gets bigger, it will be difficult to control public opinion.
Prince Jin kept a very low profile and did not say a word about anything related to the prince, trying his best to create the illusion that he was not in trouble with the prince.
