Chapter 528 The new favorite (3)
They were all so busy, and before they knew it, it had already entered the twelfth lunar month. Mrs. Lu's condition was always up and down, but if it was cold today, it would inevitably get worse. The old man was worried and moved back from Jiaxi residence. After sleeping in Rongtaiju, the number of times Lu Zhongmian and others went in and out of Rongtaiju has doubled compared to before. The female family members naturally know some things about the previous dynasty.

If you want to talk about the biggest thing in the court today, it must be the establishment of a prince.

At the end of last month, Duke Chang He Zhao was the first to submit the paper to invite the emperor to "establish the country early", and then Marquis Cheng En and several other dignitaries also submitted the paper to support the proposal. The officials seconded the proposal, which means that the matter of establishing the country has officially been put on the table.

The emperor naturally wanted to ask all the civil and military officials who could be appointed as the heir, and Chang Guogong said: "Ning Wang Yunwen Yunwu, can be a great job", and asked the emperor to set up Ning Wang, and everyone who had also accepted the paper before immediately agreed.

But An Guogong came out to give a speech, saying that even if the eldest prince was framed and ruined his reputation before, King Ping was blind and would not consider it, no matter whether it was a matter of merit or virtue, it would not be the turn of King Li Ning, please think twice.

Although seeing that the eldest prince is no longer qualified to be a crown prince, and Empress Xu's status in the palace is already in name only, Duke Anguo's mansion is a century-old family, and a dead camel is bigger than a horse, how can there not be many loyal followers of his own? By?
At present, the supporters of An Guogong's mansion also came out to oppose King Li Ning, and knelt down to ask the emperor to think twice.

The two parties carried it on, the emperor couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and he didn't ask them any more, only asked Lu Zhongmian: "What do you think, Ai Qing?"

Of course Lu Zhongmian knew that the emperor wanted to establish King Ning. In fact, there was probably no civil or military man in the Manchu Dynasty who didn't know this, so he held his wat and went out, saying loudly: "This is the emperor's family business, and the emperor should be the one to make the decision." Although he did not expressly support King Li Ning, the meaning is already very clear.

An Guogong couldn't help being furious, and scolded Lu Zhongmian in his heart. He didn't fight for his son-in-law. The rich and powerful family, see if he can spare him but can't spare him!

He didn't show it on the face, but said righteously: "The emperor has no family affairs, the country is the family, and the family is the country. If the emperor insists on setting up King Ning, the ministers will have nothing to say. The king wants the minister to die, but the minister cannot." Not to die, not to mention that the emperor has not asked the ministers to die. The ministers are only worried that in the future, the historians will write that the emperor "does not put the country as the most important thing, and only acts according to personal likes and dislikes", which will damage the reputation of the emperor through the ages!"

Elder Dai Ge, one of the five assistant ministers of the cabinet, came out and said: "Although the eldest prince made a mistake, it was not a serious mistake. The eldest prince can turn his prodigal son back, and the minister thinks that he can still be made, but he must not obliterate the status of the eldest prince's eldest son because of this, and mess up the status of the descendants. Hurry up for this moment, firstly, the emperor is in the prime of his life, and secondly, he must give the eldest prince another chance, otherwise, if the whole world thinks that the eldest son makes mistakes, they will deprive the eldest son of all the rights that the eldest son should enjoy, and sooner or later there will be chaos in the world , please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The emperor saw that there would be no Chou Yinmao to discuss today. In fact, he was already ready for a protracted war, so he asked Gao Yuwang to announce his retirement.

It's just that since the matter of fighting for the foundation of the country has been put on the table, it is naturally impossible to be kind easily. Every time thereafter, the Lining King faction headed by Duke Chang and the opposition headed by Duke An will quarrel. The world is turned upside down, and neither side can do anything to the other, they are sticking to their own views, after all, the matter involves their own personal interests, not petty interests, but huge interests, naturally no one will compromise easily.

Although this matter is big, the female family members of Yu Dingguo's mansion actually did not cause much impact. They have all heard about it. After all, there are men like the old man and Lu Zhongmian who hold up the sky for them. They just need to Just hide below and live your little life in peace.

However, Lu Mingxuan didn't dare to listen to it. Every day when Lu Zhongmian came to say hello to the old man and Mrs. Lu, as long as she had the opportunity to be present, she would listen carefully, lest she miss any useful information. , although Ling Mengqi is still coming to bring Kongcui Pavilion every other night, after all, Lu Zhongmian has more experience and is in a different position. Maybe he can hear something from him that Ling Mengqi has no way of knowing or What about unexpected things?
She was even more afraid that when Lu Zhongmian came back one day, he would bring back the bad news that King Ning had been made the crown prince.

Fortunately, until the emperor announced the seal on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there was no bad news that King Ning was established as the crown prince. Lu Mingxuan was temporarily relieved. She said that at least in the next half month, there will never be any bad news, and she can finally spend the new year with peace of mind.

Lu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. The same is true for Empress Xu in Fengyi Palace. At least she will have another half a month. I hope that her careful arrangements in this half month will achieve the expected results. Hard work will not be in vain!

Empress Xu was sitting in front of the long desk by the window, copying the scriptures at a leisurely pace, and Nanny Gao ran in excitedly, "Madam, the emperor just left the Chonghua Palace angrily. It's not enough time for a cup of tea, I think that bitch is giving the emperor another look, he really doesn't know what to do, he's a dead thing!"

"Really, that's really God's help to me!" Empress Xu didn't stop writing, and only responded lightly.

Grandma Gao saw that although Empress Xu couldn't see any joy or anger on her face, she made several mistakes in her pen. In the end, she even balled up the scriptures that had copied more than half a page, and threw them on the ground. It's uncomfortable, after all, any woman can't bear the situation where her husband abandons her like a cover, but rushes to other women to find comfort.

He couldn't help but regretted his slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. After all, the emperor is the emperor. He is the only one who is angry with others. When will others be angry with him? That bitch is so ignorant, let's wait and see. Before long, the emperor will completely dislike her. At that time, the empress will show tenderness to the emperor again, and she will not worry that the emperor will not change her mind. After all, the clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as before. The empress is the emperor's first wife, and she will be buried with the emperor in the future Those of the Imperial Mausoleum are no match for those sluts and laymen!"

"Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old?" Empress Xu sneered, "Don't say that he gave his heart to that foxy bitch, and I am already old and decrepit. Even if he changes his mind, he can't come to bow to me Even if he is really like this, Bengong is no longer concerned about it. Bengong's heart has been completely dead since he learned that he did such a thing to Ke'er. Now the only wish of Bengong is to It is to cut him and the bitch mother and son to pieces as soon as possible, let Ke'er ascend the throne, and our mother and son will be completely ashamed and proud!"
