The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1280 Wait and see

"You are making irresponsible comments!" Sheng Ran slammed the table in anger, her beautiful face full of indignation, "The Crown Princess will be back soon, and you, as ministers and elders, do not want to be loyal to the emperor, but instead treat the royal family as chess pieces, wishing you could weigh all the royal relatives with an abacus in one hand and a scale in the other! It's as if the royal family can be controlled by you, and who is promoted and who is demoted, who advances and who retreats, all need your approval! How can ministers like you who don't know the difference between respect and inferiority, and who have the face to hold an important position?! And how can you have the face to see the emperor!"

This barrage of rebukes naturally made the cabinet ministers furious.

After several verbal exchanges, the Queen and the ministers successfully angered each other, and the looks they gave each other were surprisingly similar.

"The appointment of the crown prince is a matter of state and country, and matters concerning state and country are the duty of us court officials. Since it is our responsibility, why would the queen make any irresponsible comments?!"

Yan Yuan pulled out the jade sceptre from his sleeve and argued loudly with righteous words, "The Crown Princess has been missing for so long and there is no clue to find her. This is the reality! Even if we hope and hope, it is useless! The Crown Prince is related to the government, how can we court officials not feel sorry?!

It is precisely because we are looking forward to the safe return of the Crown Princess that we request that Prince Sui'an take over as the Crown Prince. Once the Crown Princess returns, Prince Sui'an can be ordered to return to the vassal state at any time! This is such a good idea, why did the Queen reject it? ! "

"The best of both worlds? I'm afraid that the day when Prince Sui'an takes over the duties of the Crown Prince will be the day when my son will not be able to return! You disregarded the safety of the Crown Princess and forced irrelevant people to come to the capital. Everyone in the world will despise you!"

"We are all thinking for the court and the country, and our intentions are known to all! The Queen's repeated words were evasive but aggressive. She was apparently thinking for the Crown Prince, but I'm afraid only you and Duke Sheng know what she is thinking!"

"How dare you lie to me like this?!" Sheng Ran casually picked up a blank booklet and threw it out, her bright eyes flashing with anger. "The Crown Princess is the only child of me and the Emperor. I and the Emperor are the only ones in the world who want to find her the most! You are lying and slandering my love for my daughter. Aren't you afraid that your entire clan will be in trouble?!"

"It is true that the empress loves her daughter; but the history books are full of records of the Lü family showing off their power in the past and the Wu family being more powerful than the Li and Tang dynasties in the future. But no one knows who will be superior to the children of the Sheng family today and tomorrow.

? ! "

"How dare you!" Before Sheng Ran could get angry, Sheng Xiangya, the Duke of Sheng, jumped out first. "You are the subjects, have you forgotten that the Queen is the monarch and you are the subjects?! It is extremely disrespectful for a subject to criticize the monarch!"

"Duke Sheng, don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth!" Qin Xi, the Junior Secretary of the Chancellery, stepped forward, pointed his tablet at Sheng Xiangya, and said angrily, "The Queen who is beneficial to the Emperor, the country, and the Crown Prince is the ruler. If she is not, we will also bring out the family rules of our ancestors to question her!"

"You, you, you...you have no respect for your superiors! You, you are going to rebel!"

"Duke Sheng! You step down first!" Sheng Ran didn't let Sheng Xiangya finish his words. He stood up with his hands on the table, looking at all the ministers with burning eyes and sneering, "I want to see how you want to ask!"

"But..." Sheng Xiangya wanted to say something else, but closed his mouth under Sheng Ran's gaze.

"Empress!" Yan Yuan led all the ministers to raise their jade tablets and said in a cold voice, "Tomorrow is the time for the grand court meeting. At that time, all the ministers will jointly request to see the emperor and appoint the successor crown prince. Please prepare yourself, Empress!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Sheng Ran to say anything, all the ministers bowed and left together.

When passing by Sheng Xiangya, everyone slapped their sleeves at him, making Sheng Xiangya so angry that he almost jumped up.

Before leaving the main hall, Yan Yuan seemed to have remembered something important, and turned to look at Sheng Ran who was watching them: "I have one more thing to tell you, so that the Queen knows clearly. Before I entered the palace, the Cabinet, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, and the Three Law Departments had issued a ban on weapons to the Five Military Command, the Nine City Military Command, the Military Affairs Camp, the Internal Guard, and the Imperial Guard. They also ordered the three garrisons outside the capital to come to Kyoto to serve the king."

"You! You...are actually planning to rebel!"

Unlike Sheng Xiangya who was horrified, Empress Sheng Ran nodded calmly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! ... I'll wait and see!"
