Concubine Shu smiled: "This is not a secret, but this is from the mouth of His Majesty, and the little prince needs to keep his mouth shut after hearing it." ”

Concubine De hurriedly said: "Concubine Shu, you ......"

Dong Ruyi looked at Concubine De, "Is it difficult for Concubine Niangniang to think that Xiao Wang shouldn't know?"

Concubine De said embarrassedly: "That's not it, it's just that it's not good for us to talk about Your Majesty's words in private." She didn't want to offend this, the reason why she said that just now was because she always thought that Dong Ruyi, a child who had no mother's concern since childhood, would like to be preached by his elders like the acting king. Otherwise, where would she say something like that.

Concubine Shu said: "What Sister Concubine De said is also right, although Your Majesty ......"

Dong Ruyi raised his hand and said: "If you embarrass the two mothers, then forget it." This king has other things, and today he will be one step ahead. ”

Dong Ruyi turned around and left after speaking, Concubine De's calculations, Concubine Shu's temptation, I really thought she was idle and willing to play with them.

Concubine Shu said anxiously: "King Zhou, Your Majesty said that the one who can get your support is the future Lord of Great Zhou." ”

Dong Ruyi didn't seem to hear it, and left without looking back.

Concubine De said: "Why did my sister say it?"

Concubine Shu said: "Let's not talk about it today, does my sister really think that she can't find out?"

Concubine De's mouth was full of bitterness, "Yes, if she wants to know, there is nothing in this palace that she can't find out." ”

Dong Ruyi didn't seem to have any reaction, but in fact, she couldn't calm down at all.

Xiao Ruide ran over, "Finished?"

Dong Ruyi snorted.

Xiao Ruide said: "Why did they all come to you one by two?"

Dong Ruyi's heart was aggrieved, she looked at Xiao Ruide, "Uncle Huang really wants to kill me this time, I just said that Concubine De will find me, and Concubine Shu will find me." ”

Xiao Ruide looked curious, "Where is the imperial uncle willing to bring disaster to you?"

Dong Ruyi sighed and said the last sentence of Concubine Shu.

Xiao Ruide exclaimed: "It's really fake, it can't be that they said it on purpose, right?"

Dong Ruyi said: "Whether it's true or not, we'll know when Wang Xi comes back." ”

Xiao Ruide said: "If it's true, what are you going to do?" The emperor is doing something, he doesn't dare to participate indiscriminately, if this one is not good, he may be put in it.

Dong Ruyi had a bitter face, "Yes, what should I do if it's true?" She put her hand to her mouth and shouted, "Who did I provoke!"

***

In the palace of diligent administration, the emperor listened to the return of the palace people.

The emperor smiled and said, "King Zhou is really angry and yelling?"

The waiter said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, that's right, the slaves are far away, and the slaves didn't hear the words of King Zhou and the prince, but the slaves who shouted King Zhou heard it really brightly." ”

The emperor laughed, "Okay." ”

After the chamberlain left, Zhang Fuhai said, "Your Majesty, is this teasing the little prince?"

The emperor said: "That girl looks like she is smiling all day long, and I look tired for her." ”

Zhang Fuhai said with a smile: "The little prince has been raised by His Majesty since he was a child, and this word and deed naturally learned from His Majesty." ”

The emperor said: "I am a king, if she is as happy and angry as me, who will dare to marry in the future." She had to change her problem, and now I took the trouble to change it for her. ”

Zhang Fuhai bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty said yes." He said this, but he wiped Dong Ruyi's sweat in his heart.

***

Hundreds of officials jointly wrote a letter, asking the emperor to appoint the prince as the prince.

Wei Xiang's line did not come out this time, and the death of the crown prince hit them hard. They have not been able to unify internally so far, some of them are optimistic about the four princes, and some are optimistic about Xiao Ruide. After several times of arguments to no avail, Wei Xiang made a final decision, that is, to see what the emperor meant, and who the emperor appointed, they would assist.

Dong Wende and the officials of the household department, as usual, have no opinion on who is the prince. In Dong Wende's eyes, the emperor has the grace of knowing him, and he serves the emperor with the emperor's head of the horse.

The most vocal are the Liu Xiang lineage headed by the five princes and the Chen family headed by the four princes.

Although the voice of the four princes is not as good as that of the five princes, he is the oldest among the princes.

The emperor's tough attitude made those who supported the four princes and those who supported the five princes stand on the same front.

Their methods are old-fashioned, but they are extremely effective.

Hundreds of officials jointly knelt down and begged, even the emperor could not ignore it.

The emperor said: "Let them in!"

Zhang Fuhai said: "Yes." ”

More than a dozen officials led by the head rushed in, and King Qing was also among them.

The emperor said: "What kind of mess are you adding?"

King Qing knelt down and said: "Brother Huang, the younger brother can't pass the level of establishing a successor and a long." ”

The emperor pointed at King Qing, "What do you want me to say about you?"

The emperor didn't really mean to blame King Qing, King Qing's actions were all expected by the emperor. If he didn't do this, then he wouldn't be the first prince of the Great Zhou.

The emperor said: "I don't want to say more about the rest, let's talk about King Zhou?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one understood why the emperor had such a question.

King Qing was the first to speak, "Although King Zhou is a woman, her ability is beyond doubt. The minister originally thought that she could live in the palace as a strategist, but the trip to the north made the minister understand that the king of Zhou could be of great use. ”

King Qing's evaluation of Dong Ruyi is very high, especially the collapse of the Hu people. He had privately deduced that the Hu people had gone south a few times, and he was sure that if he had gone on this trip, he would not have been able to achieve such a result.

Zheng Ge Lao said: "King Qing's words are reasonable, King Zhou has worked in Sheji all these years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the first strange woman in the Great Zhou." ”

Li Ge Lao said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and the imperial court did not stipulate that women could not participate in politics and regents, and the ministers recommended King Zhou to participate in politics. ”

Zheng Ge said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

The emperor said: "The intention of the emperor is exactly what I mean, Zhang Fuhai, spread my will, and King Zhou will be regent with King Qing from tomorrow." ”

King Qing looked at the emperor blankly, this couldn't have been arranged by the emperor early in the morning!

The emperor wanted to lift Dong Ruyi to the surface, but it was not a secret in the eyes of King Qing and Dong Ruyi. And Dong Ruyi's regent is a matter of a long time, and King Qing will not have any objection to this.

Dong Wende, the only one who will oppose it, is not here today. The people who came today are all here because of the joint name of the prince, and Dong Wende will naturally not be among them.

Although the officials of Liu Xiang's lineage had doubts in their hearts, they were here for the Five Princes today. What will happen to Dong Ruyi in the future, at least for them now, it is Xiao Ruide who is nervous.

The emperor said: "After the matter of King Zhou is finished, it is time to talk about the prince." He looked at everyone in front of him, "Do you think I'm crazy?"

The officials knelt down and said, "The ministers dare not ......"

The emperor said: "I am very sober at this moment, you think I should pass on the throne to my own son, but which of them can reassure me?"
