In the tea room, Wei Ming and Zhou Wenxin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sat in the same bed, Wei Ming's eyebrows were slightly sorrowful, while the other Zhou Wenxin was extremely calm and relaxed, and it seemed that the things in the palace did not affect his mood for half a minute.

Seeing that the other party hadn't spoken, Wei Ming finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and asked: "The middle palace is vacant now, has the emperor revealed to Lord Zhou who will take the position of queen?" ”

Zhou Wenxin replied in a flickering voice: "My lord said that I am just a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, although the canonization ceremony is under my control, but how can I know the person in the emperor's heart?" ”

Wei Ming frowned unhappily, and said without any scruples: "In my place, what kind of official tone is Lord Zhou still playing!" No one in the world knows that the emperor loves Concubine Chen, and the candidate in his heart must be her. ”

Zhou Wenxin pursed his lips and smiled, and said indifferently: "It is one thing to be favored by the emperor, and it is another thing to be a mother in the world, and the two cannot be compared." ”

Wei Ming nodded clearly, he knew that Zhou Wenxin had a point. Although the emperor likes Concubine Chen, she has not conceived a child since she entered the palace, which is secondary, after all, the first queen Huo has no children. But more importantly, Concubine Chen's father is only a commander of the forbidden army, although he is responsible for the management of 50,000 forbidden troops, but he still looks a little thin in the family world. The most important factor in the emperor's choice of the queen is whether the background conditions of the woman's family are conducive to the emperor and the court, which is also an important reason why Liang Yinhao chose the Huo family, whom he did not like, as the queen, just because the Huo family is Huo Pei'an's daughter.

Wei Ming groaned: "Lord Zhou is reasonable, and I'm afraid that Concubine Chen's body and bones will not be able to take on this great responsibility." However, since Concubine Chen is not suitable, who else has the opportunity to sit on the throne of the queen in the palace? ”

"Lord Wei doesn't have to worry too much about this matter, the emperor is cautious and careful, and the selection of the queen this time will definitely be carefully considered and weighed the pros and cons, so don't interfere too much with us who are courtiers. Otherwise, if you don't get it right, you will get into trouble. ”

Wei Ming frowned, only felt that his chest was very bored, and after thinking for a long time, he asked mysteriously and in a whisper: "But this time King Rui's attitude is also very strange. King Rui has always been unconcerned about the affairs of the harem, but this time he insisted so much on the selection of the queen position, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with this concubine Chen. ”

Zhou Wenxin glanced at Wei Ming without a trace, drank the tea casually, and said slowly: "Is Lord Wei worried that King Rui's resolute attitude will offend the emperor, or will he offend Concubine Chen?" ”

Wei Ming didn't expect that he was the first to ask the question, but he was not only blocked back by Zhou Wenxin, but also asked him speechless all of a sudden.

Zhou Wenxin asked again at this time: "Lord Wei has already been chosen?" ”

Wei Ming was shocked, and he didn't dare to think deeply about the deep meaning of the other party's words. "What do you mean by this, Lord Zhou?"

"Although Lord Wei's original attitude towards King Rui is not disgusted, at least he rejects suspicion. Why is it that now he is starting to worry about King Rui? ”

Wei Ming's heart sank, he knew that Zhou Wenxin had something to say. Since the last time he met Song Xiaoyi and knew the fact that Huo Pei'an and Liang Yinhao teamed up to wronged Yunxu back then, he had lost hope in this ruthless, despicable and vicious emperor, and since then he has been getting closer and closer to King Rui. However, it inevitably aroused Liang Yinhao's suspicions, the two of them have been going back and forth in hiding, and he has never mentioned this matter to anyone, how did Zhou Wenxin find out?

Wei Ming put down a panicked look and pretended to be casual and said, "King Rui has been obvious to all in terms of personality and political achievements in the past year. Although the old man originally had some prejudices against King Rui, it was also a matter of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, and now he has already seen it, and he only admires and agrees with King Rui. However, the old man couldn't understand the so-called choice of Lord Zhou. ”

Zhou Wenzhong sneered, and did not break Wei Ming's clumsy lie. Wuzi continued: "King Rui does have his talents, and his future is limitless, and it would be a good thing to have the support of Lord Wei. However, in the matter of the election, Lord Wei should still persuade King Rui. The emperor is no longer the emperor of the past, isn't Huo Pei'an a good example? ”

"Huo Pei'an was to blame!" Wei Ming said disdainfully.

Zhou Wenxin smiled coldly and asked rhetorically: "Lord Wei still doesn't really think that Huo Pei'an's punishment was really because he intended to murder King Rui?" ”

Wei Ming paused and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"To put it mildly, our emperor never cares about the suffering of others. The reason why the emperor is so angry about this matter is because he can't allow Huo Pei'an to make his own decisions, and he can't allow others to despise his majestic imperial power! That's why he took Huo Pei'an to open the knife, just to tell everyone that no matter who it is, no matter what kind of grace he has walked through in the past, as long as someone dares to ignore his imperial power, he will beat you to the bottom mercilessly, without exception! ”

Wei Ming looked at Zhou Wenxin in astonishment, he had never thought of this deep level, and now when he heard the other party say this, he really suddenly realized.

At this time, Zhou Wenxin continued: "So, no matter who sits in the back seat, it is best not to get involved in this matter, don't look at King Rui is favored now, the more favored it is, the more dangerous it is." ”

Wei Ming frowned, and said unwillingly: "Could it be that we don't have the right to speak anymore?" If everything must be done according to the emperor's wishes, what do you want us ministers to do who speak out? ”

Zhou Wenxin showed an unfathomable smile on his face, and said: "It depends on when and where to say it, sweeping the emperor's interest is small, and refuting the emperor's face is the big deal!" So I hope that King Rui will know how to accept it when he sees it, don't wade into this muddy water by himself, and don't let the Queen Mother influence the emperor's decision. ”

Wei Ming sighed helplessly, and said sadly: "I thought that without one Huo Pei'an, the weather in the DPRK and China would be different, but I didn't expect it to become more and more intense, and now I can't even tell the truth." It's a shame for us courtiers! ”

Wei Ming said this, and in his heart, he thought that he should hurry up and go to King Rui to discuss the matter of the queen's candidate. Zhou Wenxin's advice naturally has his truth, maybe he has already received some hints in the process of contact and negotiation with the emperor these days. Moreover, King Rui has spent so much effort to get to where he is now, and if he loses his sacred heart because of this matter, it is really worth the loss. (To be continued.) )
