meet again

Chapter 239

All the emperor's grandsons are studying in the upper study on weekdays, and they don't receive errands.

After Emperor Long'an came back from the palace, he issued a verbal order, ordering the emperor's grandson, who had already married a wife, to attend the early court.In fact, they are the sons of Prince Qin and Prince Yan.The rest of the emperor's grandsons are still young.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this imperial decree is mainly for the son of Prince Yan.Prince Qin's son is older, so he can't get around it, it's just a piggyback.

One can imagine the mood of Prince Qin's son.

The son of the King of Qin, who has been in court for half a month, took a step forward in front of all the officials today, and his hand holding the memorial trembled slightly: "Grandfather, the father wrote a memorial by himself, and the grandson is presenting it on behalf of the father today." For the memorial, please have a look at the emperor's grandfather."

When Emperor Long'an heard the name of King Qin, a haze flashed in Long's eyes.

However, no matter how violent the anger was, after a year, it almost dissipated.

"Present it!" Emperor Long'an finally opened his mouth.

Zhu Yao, the eldest son of King Qin, endured the excitement in his heart, agreed, and gave the memorial to Eunuch Shen.Eunuch Shen held the memorial and placed it in front of Emperor Long'an.

Today is the Xiaochaohui, and those who are eligible to participate in the Xiaochaohui are all court ministers of the third rank or above.One by one, they had a panoramic view of this scene, thinking about each other and not mentioning it.

King Yan raised his eyes, his eyes glanced at the memorial in front of Emperor Long'an, and he was in a bad mood.

The king of Han actually persuaded the king of Qin.What will be written in this memorial, you don't need to think too much, you can guess it.

There are four brothers in total, and all three of them have submitted a memorial to ask the emperor to be the heir apparent. If he doesn't say anything, he will fall into the mouth.Whether you like it or not, you have to give a memorial even if you pinch your nose.

Although not afraid, but really responsive.

Emperor Long'an opened the memorial, glanced at Long's eyes, and put it down again calmly.

The King of Han watched Emperor Long'an's face, and his eyes drifted to the Hubu Shangshu beside him.Hubu Shangshu nodded invisibly, then took a step forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I also have a book to play today."

Emperor Long'an looked unpredictable: "What do you want to play?"

Hubu Shangshu clapped his hands and said: "It has been more than ten years since the empress died of illness. The phoenix seat in the harem is vacant, and the emperor is alone. I feel heartbroken for the emperor. I ask the emperor to issue an order to establish the empress."

As soon as the words fell, six more officials came out one after another, asking the emperor to stand up.

Only the officials of the Ministry of Punishments remained silent.

His Royal Highness King Yan has been in charge of the Ministry of Punishments for many years, and the whole Ministry of Justice is of one mind, naturally they all support King Yan.

Emperor Long'an neither nodded, nor reprimanded anyone, and said indifferently: "I will discuss the matter of establishing an empress later."

……

This is just the beginning.

From this day on, every day, officials present memorials to invite the emperor to be the empress.Some directly mentioned Concubine Cao in the memorial, boasting that "Concubine Cao has a virtuous temperament and good morals, and she is worthy of being the Empress of Daqi."

King Yan also made a memorial, in which he praised Concubine Tian Shu for being "respectful, thrifty and gentle".Immediately afterwards, many officials asked the emperor to make Concubine Tian Shu his queen.

You said that this move was bad, Zhao Wang was so angry that he had to go to Han Wang to confess his feelings: "... Fourth brother, this is all the second brother's trick to separate you and my brother. My mother and concubine, never The ambition to be a queen. I also wholeheartedly support you in competing for the crown prince. Don't fall into the trap of the second brother."

Then he patted his chest and swore to the sky: "If I have such a heart, I will let a thunderbolt from the sky strike me to death."

The king of Han smiled and said, "Third brother, don't worry. How could I care about such a cheap trick."

After King Zhao left, King Han's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and went to Ganquan Palace.

But it was empty.

The palace servants in Ganquan Palace said tremblingly: "The imperial concubine has gone to Cuiwei Palace to talk to the concubine Shu."

It is false to speak, but it is true to spy on the truth.

The King of Han waited for half an hour before Concubine Cao came back.

Concubine Cao ordered the palace people to retreat, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, disdain and anger flashed in her eyes: "This Tian family is just a foot-washing palace servant, and he dares to pretend to be a phoenix."

The position of empress is too attractive to concubines in the harem.

Even though King Zhao secretly reminded Concubine Tian Shu, Concubine Tian Shu couldn't help being moved.

Concubine Cao was born better than her, younger and more beautiful than her.But the Cao family is very powerful, once Concubine Cao becomes the queen, the Cao family will become even more powerful.At that time, the Cao family will fully support the King of Han, and it will not be easy for Emperor Long'an to make King Yan the heir apparent.

Maybe she can pick up a bargain!

When Concubine Cao thought of Concubine Tian Shu's hypocritical appearance, she felt angry: "Even if I don't want to be this empress, I will never let Tian's pride."

Then he said to the King of Han: "Don't trust King Zhao too much. He keeps saying that he will support you with all his strength. In my opinion, he just wants to have a snipe and a clam fight for the fisherman's benefit."

"You and King Yan are fighting to the death, and in the end, he will be revealed."

A cold light flashed in King Han's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Mother, don't worry, I've been on guard against him."

Concubine Cao calmed down, and opened her mouth to say: "Princess Fu entered the palace yesterday, I have already agreed with her. In a few days, Prince Fu will present the memorial."

"It's your imperial grandmother's side. I begged several times, but I didn't let go."

The Queen Mother Cao's attitude is that the Ai family loves the King of Han the most, and the Ai family loves Concubine Cao the most.However, it depends on the emperor's will whether to establish the queen or not.Ai Jia is old enough to not worry about these things.

The King of Han was quite dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Cao in his speech: "It is empty talk to say that you favor my concubine and me. When it comes to the critical moment, he won't even say a word for our mother and son."

Isn't it?

Concubine Cao was also full of complaints.

My aunt was the queen back then, and she was the queen mother for decades, and she was honored and rich all her life.But now he refuses to support her niece who is a direct relative.

No matter how complaining and dissatisfied, you can't show it.Not only can't reveal it, but you have to continue to honor the Empress Dowager Cao.Empress Dowager Cao is the pillar of the Cao family and her backer in the palace.

……

This vigorous event of establishing a queen reached a dramatic climax after Prince Fu gave a memorial.

Emperor Long'an finally opened his mouth and said: "I am over sixty years old, and my health is getting worse day by day. Maybe one day I will close my eyes and go west. There is no need to stand up."

"I know the filial piety of the princes, and I am very pleased. However, there is no need to mention the matter of becoming a queen."

King Yan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Once the emperor is established, no matter who is established, it will be very disadvantageous to him.Now that Emperor Long'an has directly stated that he has no intention of becoming a successor, this turmoil can also come to an end.

The King of Han's complexion was not so good-looking.

After spending so much effort and causing such a big battle, it ended so lightly?
No, it's not over.

Because, Emperor Long'an quickly said again: "The state has a prince, and people's hearts are determined. I want to establish a prince!"
