The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 482 Who is the Biography?

next morning
The gate of the palace is still closed, Xi Gongmo sent people to secretly bring the ministers into the palace, just to put on a big drama together with Ye Anran.

Above the court hall, Ye Anran was wearing a golden wind robe and a golden crown of nine phoenixes on his head. He was still full of nobility and aura.

"My lords, I am looking for you today. Actually... it is to discuss the heir to the throne. Now the emperor is seriously ill and can no longer be in the court. The country cannot live without a king. This is absolutely true. They are all the same as Ben Gong, and they worry about the country in the same heart, right?" Ye Anran said such thought-provoking words at the beginning.

Immediately someone stood up to object, still Prime Minister Ning, still quick to speak...

"Empress, the current situation is chaotic, and it is the best strategy for everyone to unite and fight against King Rui'an."

"My lord prime minister, you have also seen that the power of King Rui'an cannot be underestimated, and it is not a matter of one day to suppress him. Now that there is no leader in the imperial palace, the emperor cannot go to court, so naturally he must choose a capable person. Yesterday... I went to visit the emperor. , His Majesty clearly revealed between the lines that he wants... His Royal Highness King Huai to take over this great responsibility." Ye Anran said slowly after glancing at Xi Gongmo who was not far away.

Listen, once again the audience was in an uproar...

Xi Gongmo took over the throne very suddenly, and his reputation was not right. After all, in terms of ranking, he was under Xi Gongjue, and after the emperor, Xigongjue was the biggest. In terms of military exploits, it was Xigongjue who fought hard outside for so many years.In terms of family background, it is not as prominent as Heng Wang, who at least has an uncle with a foreign surname Wang.

So Ye Anran's point of view is obviously a bit unsatisfactory...

But most of the old officials could see the clues. The empress was obviously partial to His Highness Huai Wang, so in order to protect her safety, she didn't dare to say anything against it, and just pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Xi Gongmo gave a faint smile: "Empress, how can a humble minister, He De, be able to take on such a big responsibility?"

"Hey, you are welcome, King Huai. The Empress Dowager praised King Huai many times before she was alive, saying that besides the Emperor, you are the most benevolent prince. I think that even if the Empress Dowager is still alive, she will support you." It's the emperor's decision." Ye Anran praised Xi Gongmo smoothly.

Xi Gongjue smiled again, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your praise, but... the empress dowager is Weichen's aunt, and the emperor is Weichen's brother, but because our mother and concubine come from the same family, so naturally It's a lot closer, so it's understandable for the emperor to make such a decision, but... this minister is worried that those who want to make trouble won't obey this decision."

Xi Gongmo sang and sang with Ye Anran like this, the match was extremely good, and all the ministers could hear it clearly, although Xi Gongmo was very modest on the surface, saying that he could not be the emperor, but in fact the meaning behind his words had already been said It is very clear that he is the empress dowager's nephew, and his biological mother Concubine Luo and Empress Dowager He come from the same family, and they are still sisters. With this level of close relationship, it is normal for the emperor to pass the throne to Xi Gongmo.

After hearing this, the ministers were silent for a long time, and then Prime Minister Ning suddenly said: "Empress, since it is the emperor's intention, then... the ministers dare not object, so I just ask the empress to show us the edict of the emperor's succession."

"Of course there will be an edict to pass the throne, but it's not going to be given to the adults now. Today... just to discuss with you and listen to your opinions. Your Excellency, you are too hasty." Ye Anran raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. road.

"So that's the case. That's because the old minister is too impatient, but the old minister still has a question." The prime minister said suddenly.

"Prime Minister, please tell me." Ye Anran knew that the most difficult person to deal with in the entire court was Prime Minister Ning. This old fox relied on himself as the elder of the two dynasties. , and is notoriously difficult to deal with.

"The old minister wants to know, what kind of illness is the emperor suffering from? Before, the empress only said that the emperor had contracted a cold due to the death of the empress dowager, and she said that it would be fine in a few days. Now she said that the emperor was seriously ill and could not go to court. It’s so tempting to pass it on to someone else, and it’s beyond my imagination, so I ask the empress to explain it.” Sure enough, Prime Minister Ning made it clear.

Compared with Ning Cheng, Ye Anran was still too young and immature after all, so facing his questioning, Ye Anran was somewhat unexpected.

Seeing that Ye Anran was at a loss for words and there was no more suitable reason to answer, Xi Gongmo took over the words: "Master Prime Minister, this matter is not the empress's responsibility. The emperor suddenly fell ill, and we were all surprised. If the emperor didn't want to let you The adults saw how haggard he is now, and the empress wouldn't be so protective anymore, so when the prime minister asked this, it seemed that he really didn't believe the empress, hehe."

"Ah, that's not true. His Highness Huaiwang is overthinking." Although Prime Minister Ning already knew in his heart that it was Xigongmo and Ye Anran who did it, he had to pretend to be confused. After all, he couldn't irritate Xigongmo too much. , if Xi Gongmo is pushed into a hurry, maybe he can do something big. The previous Mr. Song has been a lesson from the past, so Prime Minister Ning can be regarded as seeing his tricks, and did not immediately tear his face with Xi Gongmo.

In the stalemate, Jing Wuhen suddenly stood up: "The general only knows that since the emperor fell ill, the empress has acted as an agent of the government and devoted herself to seeking welfare for the people. She is a good queen, so the general believes the empress's words, and also I believe that the emperor wanted to hand over the throne because he was seriously ill. His Royal Highness Huai Wang has a heart for the world, loves the country and the people, and is a prince with a good reputation. Is the best candidate, what do you think?"

After Jing Wuhen finished speaking, several ministers echoed, "General Jing is right, we all support His Highness King Huai."

Ye Anran turned around, looked at Prime Minister Ning and asked with a smile: "Then, what about you, Prime Minister? Who do you support more?"

"Ah, if the Empress can ask the old minister, it is natural to praise the old minister, but the old minister is telling the truth. At present... without seeing the imperial edict and seal issued by the emperor himself, the old minister will not support any prince. The reason is very simple. The veteran has devoted his whole life to the Nishinomiya family, and he has to do his best. Although the emperor is seriously ill, at least let us meet in person. It is not enough to just listen to the queen's one-sided words. It's not that the old minister doesn't believe in the empress, but... there has never been such a rule, so... I also ask the empress to forgive me, the old minister still said that everything has to wait until I see the emperor, the imperial edict and the seal with my own eyes India will tell the truth."

Ye Anran didn't expect that Prime Minister Ning was so stubborn that even under the threat of Jing Wuhen, he still refused to compromise and insisted on seeing the emperor.

"Since today's discussion is fruitless, let's retreat." Ye Anran was a little angry, and turned away with a wave of her hand.

Jiuhua Palace
Xi Gongmo said slowly: "An Ran, it's time, Prime Minister Ning can't stay anymore, please issue a secret order, we have to cut grass and roots."

Ye Anran couldn't bear it, and asked in a low voice: "Is it necessary to kill?"
