Murong Yichuan and Ping'er walked out of the Funing Hall together and came directly towards the study of the Yin'an Palace. Great literature

At this time, in King Fu's study, Prime Minister Xiao Suen, the concubine Zhongli Wenjun, and Zong Zhengsi Murong Chengdu have been waiting here, the tea has been drunk two cups but has not yet seen King Fu arrive, they can't help but be a little anxious, they came today not for the Fu Wangfu Mansion last night, but about the East Palace Prince Murong Zhiyuan to choose a concubine, the general Ximen Donghai mobilized his own people to write to the emperor many times to ask for the prince to choose a concubine, so the emperor handed over this matter to Murong Cheng, the chief of Zongzheng Si, who was in charge of royal affairs, This Murong Cheng is a side branch of the Murong family, the same generation as Murong Yichuan, slightly older, mainly responsible for the members of the Murong royal family, this prince and concubine are naturally within the scope of his responsibility, and King Fu has already bought Murong Cheng with a lot of money, he is on the same front as Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, Zhongli Wenjun and others, so they don't dare to make a decision privately and come to King Fu to discuss this matter, and the above is what happened.

When the three of them were looking around, they suddenly heard Ping'er's gentle voice outside the door; "The prince has arrived." The servants hurriedly got up to greet each other, and then the door curtain jumped, and Murong Yichuan strode in, only to see that his face was sinking like water, and his face was stern.

"Ministers, see Wang Jia Chitose. The three of them were busy brushing and giving King Fu a big gift to pay homage, "The three Aiqing should sit down." Murong Yichuan glanced at the three of them expressionlessly, said in a low voice, and then sat down swaggeringly and lowered his head, "Thank you Chitose." The three of them hurriedly got up and sat back in their seats, and the expression and tone of his voice showed that he was in a bad mood at this time, so the three ministers were also cautious.

Ping'er and Susu hurriedly re-served the tea, and then they both retreated with interest, and Ping'er guarded by the side.

At this time, Murong Yichuan was really a little dry, so he first took a sip of the teacup and moistened his throat with a dry cough, and then swept the three ministers opposite with a blazing gaze with the teacup, "Why did you three come to see this king?" King Fu's two hands clenched the teacup tightly, as if he wanted to crush it, his eyes were like electricity, and the cold wind was pretended.

Murong Cheng, the chief of Zongzhengsi, slowly stood up and bowed his hand to King Fu, "Qi Qi Chitose, the ministers came today to discuss the prince's choice of concubines, and this morning the emperor ordered my Zongzheng to discuss the prince's selection of concubines, so the ministers made an appointment with the prime minister and the concubine." ”

King Fu condescendingly glanced at Zong Zhengsi Murong Cheng, only to see that this person was forty-five or sixteen years old, about seven feet tall, with a face like a heavy jujube, a few traces of time low, small eyes, a hooked nose, and a face without a city. Great literature

"Hmph, this should be done by Ximen Donghai and others, it seems that their Ximen family wants to fight with this king to the end, it really doesn't make sense." King Fu slapped the teacup on the table, snorted his nose, his eyes were cruel, his face was like an ice knife, and he gritted his teeth with full hatred, of course he knew that Ximen Xiaoman, the daughter of the Ximen Donghai family, was the most favorable candidate for the crown princess, family background, appearance, and age This is definitely the best choice for the crown princess, but if Ximen Xiaoman becomes the crown princess, then the relationship between the Ximen family and the emperor is not saved and it is closer, and he will never allow this to happen. Moreover, a month later, it was the triennial martial arts examination of the Taizheng Dynasty, and the eldest young master of the Ximen family, Ximen Yonghao, was taught by a master, and his martial arts were outstanding, if there was no big difference, this martial champion was also none other than the Ximen family, if this was the case, then the relationship between the Ximen family and the emperor at that time, the status of the Ximen family in the court could not be the same as today, and their Ximen family became the most favorable umbrella for the emperor, and became the biggest stumbling block to seize the throne.

Murong Cheng sat back in place after replying, waiting for King Fu's next words with a calm expression.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and Zhongli Wenjun both agreed with Murong Yichuan's speculation, "What Chitose said is very true, the old minister thinks that the emperor should build a ring to choose a concubine for the crown prince, so that there is a way to prevent Ximen Xiaoman from staying in the East Palace." Xiao Suen cleared his throat, and then said his thoughts seriously.

King Fu did not speak, but his eyes fell on Wen Jun, who was holding the teacup with a calm face, Zhongli Wen Jun hurriedly put the teacup down, and arched his hand at King Fu, with a straight face; "For the minister to agree with the Prime Minister's idea, we can postpone the selection of a concubine for the prince under the pretext that Concubine Xiao will not be long in the world, and set the date of the selection of the concubine in the autumn of next year, when the prince is just in the year of the weak crown, and there can be a lot of things that can be done in this nearly a year. And Weichen learned from the princess that Ximen Xiaoman is not only spicy and particularly shrewd, if she is made the crown princess, so as to control the inner court and the prince, the Ximen family at that time will be different from today, which is very unfavorable to Chitose, and the minister dared to guess that the reason why the emperor put the matter of the prince's choice of concubine on the agenda is also to consider wanting to marry the Ximen family, so that the Ximen family and the Xiao family are completely opposed, which is equivalent to the emperor and Chitose are completely opposed, so that Chitose will have a lot of trouble. Soon the martial arts exam is about to be held, and Ximen Yonghao seems to be determined to win this year's martial arts, and the Ximen family and the Chen family have been married, the Chen family has been an official for generations, and it also has a certain influence in the Taizheng Dynasty. ”

King Fu and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and Zong Zhengsi carefully listened to Zhongli Wenjun's nuanced analysis and nodded in agreement, although Zhongli Wenjun has not been in the court for a long time, and there is not much time in today's officialdom, but his keen insight and observation of the current situation have made a very thorough and practical analysis, whether it is Xiao Chengxiang and Murong Cheng, who have been in the officialdom for decades, or Murong Yichuan, who has played with power and applauded, they all deeply recognized this, so King Fu immediately slapped the table and made a decision, His face was solemn and he faced the majestic life of the chief of Zongzhengsi; "What Wen Jun said is very reasonable, it is in line with the king's wishes, Lord Zong Zhengsi can take the reason that Concubine Xiao is dissatisfied with the anniversary of the world's dissatisfaction with the crown prince's choice of concubines, this king thinks that the emperor is good, and it shouldn't be meaningful to Ximen Donghai, filial piety is the foundation of my Taizheng Dynasty, who dares to disobey?"

"Do what you want." Zong Zhengsi's chief Murong Cheng hurriedly agreed.

King Fu personally lifted the teapot and filled the teacups of the three ministers, and the servants were flattered to them, "The three Aiqing have the heart of this king in their hearts, and everyone wants to see the king's jokes, so that there are three Aiqing by his side so that this king will not be lonely and slaughtered." King Fu said with a sincere face, with a little bit of sensationalism, which made everyone moved, "I am afraid for the minister." The three of them didn't know what to say for a while, and they also knew what was happening in the palace, so they also knew King Fu's mood at this time, especially Zhongli Wenjun, who was like a brother to him.
