The group pet prince is a full-scale boss

Chapter 203 Disputes
Since ancient times, where there are people, there will be strife and disputes. This is the case in the rivers and lakes, and it is even worse in the court.

The so-called court affairs are nothing more than the competition and balance of power.

Not only did the emperor have to check and balance the forces of all parties, but also the emperor and his courtiers had to check each other to achieve a balance.

The emperor was gentle and kind, and never harshly treated his courtiers with courtesy. That's why Han Xiang and Shi Xiang were arrogant and domineering, covering the sky with their hands.

With these two people in front of them, who among the senior and high-ranking prime ministers in the DPRK would not want to copy Han Xiangshi's prestige when he was in power?

Especially now, the emperor is sick and unable to govern, and the government is entrusted to the young prince. Isn't this a good opportunity for these people?

Crown Prince Song Yucheng is just a very distant branch of the imperial family, with a shallow foundation in the court, young and inexperienced, so he has to rely heavily on those veterans when dealing with the affairs of the court.

Relying on their own qualifications, these old guys really tripped up Song Yucheng a lot, both openly and secretly, all in order to increase the power in their hands.

The prince is humble and polite, and he respects these veterans.

Acting government affairs these days, no matter what they encounter, they will discuss with several ministers, and they will never act arbitrarily. It makes everyone feel good, and it also gives them a feeling that this prince is easy to control.

But today Song Yucheng was furious in the early court, and his attitude was so domineering in front of all civil and military officials.

It was only then that everyone realized that the gentle and respectful young man in front of him was probably not as weak and useless as everyone thought.

A sense of crisis surged up, and several veteran ministers who hadn't dealt with it quickly reached a tacit understanding.

So, after looking at each other, several chief executives immediately went out of the class, "Your Highness, we are loyal, and everything we say and do is for the country and the people. We have absolutely no selfishness, let alone targeting anyone meaning.

The fact that Bai Zongzheng and his son defected to the enemy and treason has not yet been found out, and Bai Qiniang suddenly led troops to appear at the border. Although Bai Qiniang broke the siege of Luzhou, who knows if this is another trick?
This matter has to be guarded against, and please think twice, Your Highness. "Master Lin, the recently promoted Prime Minister, said sincerely.

"That's right, His Highness has a marriage contract with Bai Qiniang, so it's understandable that he wholeheartedly protects his fiancée.

But Your Highness must not forget that you are still the prince of Zhao, the crown prince of a country, and the country and the country have important responsibilities on your shoulders, how can you love your sons and daughters?

State affairs come first, Your Highness, please put the country first. "Second Prime Minister Gao also spoke to persuade.

"Your Highness and ministers implore His Highness to put state affairs first, and immediately send imperial envoys to the border to investigate the source of the army led by Bai Qiniang. Before the matter is clarified, Bai Qiniang is not allowed to lead any more troops."

The privy envoys, the privy envoys, and several counselors spoke in unison, and then the chief executives from the eastern and western prefectures knelt down together.

When the civil and military officials saw this, most of them also knelt down and said the same words in unison.

Song Yucheng's complexion was gloomy, and the peach blossom eyes that were so beautiful at first were now icy cold.

"Oh, what are you adults going to do? Kneeling at the palace gate? Knocking on the gate? Are you dealing with someone like you used to deal with a faint king? You really think highly of someone, what am I, Song Yucheng?
A mere family member with no talent and no morals, who was selected as the prince only after a stroke of luck, and now he is only temporarily acting for the government. If you use such means to deal with a certain person, isn't it an overkill? "

"Bai Qiniang is the unmarried wife of a certain person, and the husband and wife are of the same mind, so if you target her, you are targeting a certain one.

She did not hesitate to put on red makeup and armor for a certain, and went to battle to kill the enemy. How could such a good wife meet such a virtuous wife?
Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt in their love. Although I and Seventh Lady are not married, their love is stronger than gold. I will never let you and others slander my wife.If you adults can't tolerate Seventh Lady, that means you can't tolerate a certain.
Forget it, so-and-so will go to see the official family and resign from the position of the prince. Please, my lords, please find another wise person. "

Song Yucheng's tone was calm without any waves, but what he just said shocked everyone.

Before the ministers could speak, Song Yucheng got up, flicked his sleeves, and left.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were left looking at each other, unable to believe that the cold and decisive person in front of them was the gentle, refined, humble and courteous Prince His Royal Highness.

This, is it because they have misjudged, or once a person's identity changes, his personality will also change?

"Master Lin, His Highness has such a domineering attitude, what should we do?" Prime Minister Gao looked at Prime Minister Lin, who was kneeling beside him, and asked in a low voice.

"What should I do? It's just a child with a yellow mouth, but it's just a bluff. I don't believe it. He can really abandon this great Zhao Jinxiu and not be a prince?" Lin Xiang snorted coldly, not paying attention.

"We must not give in on this matter, otherwise there will be no place for us to stand above the court. Everyone, we will kneel here and see how the officials handle this matter."

Prime Minister Lin spoke, and most of the officials also felt that it made sense. They must not be overwhelmed by a young man who is not as weak as the crown, so everyone didn't get up, and they still knelt there.

"Okay, since everyone is willing to kneel, then kneel, I'm sorry." Anyuanhou Meng Cishan couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw this situation.

This court hall really couldn't stay any longer, "Farewell, everyone take care." After speaking, Marquis An Yuan waved his hands and left the hall.

Marquis An Yuan left, and the others who had a good relationship with the Bai family or the prince also shook their heads, turned and left.

It's not that they don't want to help Song Yucheng, but they don't know what Song Yucheng is thinking, so they can't act rashly, simply don't argue with those people, and go back to the mansion to wait for Song Yucheng's news.

There was a dispute in the court hall, and a servant had already rushed to Funing Palace to report the news. Before Song Yucheng could arrive, the emperor already knew what happened.

As soon as the servant had finished speaking, he heard a servant from outside reporting, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince begs to see the official."

The emperor let out a long sigh, and turned to look at Empress Meng, "Empress, I have something to say to Cheng'er, you are tired after taking care of me all morning, go and rest."

The emperor's words were obviously intended to drive away Empress Meng. After many years of husband and wife, how could Empress Meng not know the meaning of these words?

"The concubine is indeed a little tired, so the officials and the prince should talk about it. Young people, they are full of enthusiasm and youthfulness, so let's talk about things." Empress Meng smiled and led them away.

Empress Meng left, and the emperor called the prince in.Song Yucheng quickly stepped into the sleeping hall, stepped forward to salute, "I have seen the official's house."

Song Yucheng had changed his mind for a while, seeing that the emperor only called him an official and not his father, and now he even changed the name of his son-in-law.

The emperor is not a fool, how can he not hear it?But nothing was revealed on his face, and he waved at Song Yucheng.

"Cheng'er, come, sit in front of the father, let us father and son have a good talk."

Song Yucheng walked up to him as he said, and the servant moved a brocade stool over, and Song Yucheng sat down.

"Someone has heard about the affairs in the court. It is not uncommon for the monarch and his ministers to compete with each other. You will gradually get used to it."

The emperor turned his head and looked at Song Yucheng, "Cheng'er, I don't care how you tame these courtiers. But I want to ask you, do you know who your fiancée, Bai Qiniang, is?"
