(Presented in the Grand Chapter)

There are too many people who can't sleep this night, Jing Yao outside the palace is lying alone on the bed and sad, Jing Heng is tossing and turning in the Mingguang Hall alone, Yun Rong is crying and falling asleep in the bathtub, the little guy is crying and falling asleep on the couch, Chunni touched his head on the side, and found that it was wet under the pillow towel, and he was distressed that he cried deeply, and turned his head after hearing the sound, and found that Mian Ru and a little palace maid carried Yunrong over, and several people were busy for a while, staying aside and watching their mother and son rest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the early morning of the second day, Jing Heng had a headache and a swollen face when he got up, and Qiu Lin carefully served him for a long time before accompanying him to the court.

Today is the first day of the new year, it stands to reason that the emperor should be refreshed and happy with everyone, but this year is really strange, the plague will soon be in the New Year, the first day of the court, the emperor actually put on a pot bottom face, the ministers are seven up and eight down, and their looks are a little nervous.

No matter how bad the mood is, Jing Heng is still a master, he reluctantly smiled and congratulated the ministers, and after saying a few beautiful words, he asked about the recent state affairs.

At this time, Shang Shu's left servant shot the first to stand up and bow his hand: "Your Majesty, report this morning, the epidemic situation in Jiangnan has stabilized!" ”

"Good!" Jing Heng Long Yan Dayue finally heard a good news, and after worrying for many days, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Later, Jing Heng instructed the six departments to work together to arrange the plague. The ministers played the court affairs for half a noon, and when it was almost time for the next dynasty, Jing Heng took a big breath and asked with a smile: "Zhong Aiqing still has something to play, if there is nothing to do, retreat from the court!" ”

As soon as Jing Heng's voice fell, suddenly a person stepped forward and bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

"Come on!" Jing Heng raised his sleeves,

"Obey the decree, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the country and the people have been safe, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Your Majesty's achievements have never been made by the ancients or since, but if the country is long, the country must be consolidated first..."

Jing Heng's pupils shrank, and he squinted in his eyes, this person is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he is relatively close to Chu Xu on weekdays, when he talks about this, Jing Heng already knows what he is going to say,

The court fell silent in an instant, so silent that only the sound of breathing could be heard!

"Therefore, the minister is sure that His Majesty will set up a prince to reassure the people!" The servant of the ministry finally bowed down sonorously.

After he finished speaking for a long time, no one was silent, and the court was silent.

This man was the first person in the dynasty to mention the matter of the crown prince to the emperor! All the ministers knew that Jing Heng was the most reluctant to be mentioned by others to establish the prince,

The Chu family is powerful, he has to consider the consequences of making the emperor's eldest son the crown prince, what if the Chu family's relatives are dictatorial in the future, and even have the heart of a wolf?

This is the reason why Jing Heng has been delayed in establishing a prince, and after Yun Rong gave birth to Jing Wenyue, he didn't want to make a prince even more, because he doted on his youngest son, and because Jing Wenyue was better than Jing Ren! Yun Mu, the brother of the Yun family, is a stuffy gourd who can only fight, Yun Zheng is an elegant and gentle lord, Jing Wenyue's two uncles are not people who wield power, but Chu Xu is different, although he has no sons-in-law, he has several concubines, and many nephews, all of whom are fierce generals, Chu Xu retreats everywhere on the surface, but secretly the children of the Chu family are in important positions.

The palace is the world of the Chu family, and I am afraid that nearly half of the courtiers outside the palace support the Chu family!

If he doesn't pull out the thorn of the Chu family, how can he sit firmly!

Jing Heng smiled faintly, his eyes swept over the ministers, "What do you think?" The voice was calm, and there was no displeasure.

Some ministers listened and thought that the emperor should really want to make a prince, so several of them stood up and said: "The ministers implore Your Majesty to make the eldest son the crown prince!" ”

"Please make your eldest son the crown prince!"

Soon a dozen courtiers knelt down!

Hehe! Jing Heng sneered, the courtiers who could enter the Taiji East Hall were all the ministers of the humerus in the court, and it seemed that Chu Xu had put a lot of effort into it.

Jing Heng glanced at Meng Yan who was standing at the front on the left and Chu Xu who was standing at the front on the right with an unchanged expression.

Chu Xu looked unfazed, his eyes were silent, as if he hadn't heard what everyone was saying at all, and Meng Yan, the old fox was an important minister of the Three Dynasties, he and Yun Xiaotian assisted Jing Heng's grandfather to found Dahuan, but it didn't take long for his grandfather to die, the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and the two continued to accompany the first emperor to fight the world, but unfortunately one was too sharp, and finally died before the merit was done, and the other was neither humble nor arrogant and conscientious, and worked hard for the country and the people so far.

Meng Yan shook his white beard, but frowned, as if he was contemplating.

"It seems that the ministers are of the same mind?"

After Jing Heng said this, some shrewd courtiers blinked their eyes and sniffed out a little meaning.

"General Chu, what do you say?" Jing Heng set his eyes on Chu Xu,

Chu Xu bowed and stood on one side, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart, sailing against the current, if he didn't advance, he would retreat!

The meaning of the palace has also come out, the Chu family has been forced to retreat, since this is the case, you can only bite the bullet!

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"

Simple five words, no superfluous words, no superfluous expressions, is Chu Xu's consistent style!

is the familiar Chu Xu, as for the minister who was stopped by Chu Ruoxi in the Chu Mansion that day to see Chu Xu coaxing his daughter, he thought that Chu Xu must have taken the wrong medicine that day! Or rather, they are deaf and deaf! In short, this is a normal General Chu, who never drags mud and water!

"Good!" Jing Heng praised loudly and kept nodding, "Since that's the case, then I..."

Just when the ministers thought that the emperor was going to make an order to establish a prince on the spot, they all looked at him with their necks high, and a person floated out and interrupted Jing Heng's words,

"Never!" Meng Yan stood up vigorously and knelt down, "Old minister is courageous, please Your Majesty don't rush to establish the crown prince!" ”

Jing Heng's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he appreciated it in his heart.

Meng Yan deserves to be Meng Yan, as soon as he stood up, a large number of officials immediately knelt down, including the treacherous face of the imperial doctor, the prince of the country and other important ministers,

"Your Majesty is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is not advisable to establish a prince too early!"

Jing Heng smiled faintly, didn't say a word, and saw that there were only a few people standing in the court, Chu Xu in the waiter, Gu Kaizhi in the household department, and Yun Zheng in the military department!

Yun Zheng, hehe, Jing Heng is very satisfied, at this time, Yun Zheng did not oppose the establishment of the prince, but stayed out of the matter, it can be seen that the Yun family has advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and there is no intention of relatives to gain power.

Everyone knows that his sister spoils the harem alone and occupies the emperor for three whole years! Even many people joked in private that his nephew, the fifth prince, Jing Wenyue, would be the future crown prince, but every time Yun Zheng heard this, he would beat that person out with a stick!

After the Yun family came out of Yun Xiaotian, only Yun Rong was as arrogant as him, and the other children, including Yun Han back then, were never pampered and arrogant, but thought about Jing Heng everywhere, and did not narrow their own selfishness.

In the end, Jing Heng waved away the ministers and left one person alone to go to the imperial study with him.

That person is Meng Yan, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties! At this moment, there are only two of them in the imperial study! One sat behind the royal case, and the other knelt aside.

"Meng Xiang's body is really neat, and he can keep up with my footsteps!" Jing Heng personally poured Meng Yan a cup of tea and said with a smile,

Meng Yancheng was terrified, and thanked him again and again, the old fox is the old fox, and the respectful posture of pouring tea in the face of Jing Heng personally is not leaking.

"The old minister is old, where can he keep up with His Majesty's dragon steps, you have to be careful and run quickly!" Meng Yan replied cautiously,

"Today, Meng Xiang's categorical opposition to the establishment of the crown prince is not in line with Meng Xiang's consistent style, can Meng Xiang give me an explanation?" Jing Heng also poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip gently.

Meng Yan is a very strange person, it is said that no one can match the qualifications of the courtiers, and according to the ability, it can be said that nearly one-third of the ministers of the three lives and six departments have worked under him and have been trained by him, and his ability to govern can be called the first in the dynasty!

Back then, he and Yun Xiaotian, one thick and one fine, one could make a good decision! In fact, in Jing Heng's opinion, Yun Xiaotian is peerless, but Meng Yan is not inferior to him at all, but some people are good at working behind the scenes, and others can't see his achievements.

But such a person, he is silent, he does not fight or grab, no matter how much credit, he is always respectful in front of the emperor, Jing Heng admires him from the bottom of his heart, such a person is the emperor's favorite courtier!

Meng Yan's expression became more solemn when he heard this, and he thought to himself, most of his life in politics, he knew when Jing Heng wanted to hear what kind of words, and he also knew when to say honest words, words like ease and perfection were used to describe Meng Yan!

So he didn't avoid Jing Heng's inquiring gaze, and replied frankly: "Your Majesty, the Chu family has lush branches, big roots and deep roots, and holds military power, if it is the prince's mother's family, I am afraid that there will be a disaster for relatives!" ”

Meng Yan said that it was heaven-shattering, and it was rare not to hide it, which was really impressive!

Hasn't the old fox always sung with Chu Xu, and today he is finally willing to show his fox tail? Jing Heng smiled secretly.

Meng Yan smiled bitterly, the reason why he had a good relationship with Chu Xu on weekdays was that one was the draft of the Zhongshu Order, and the other was the deliberation of the Zhongshu Order, which could be said to be a seamless cooperation, which saved Jing Heng a lot of effort. But that's just for the efficiency of the government, from a real standpoint, will the Meng family be the Chu family? That's absolutely impossible, the Chu family has military generals, and his Meng Yan protégés are all over the world!

Now that Concubine Meng has given birth to another daughter, the Meng family has no suspicion of being a relative, he can let go of his hands and feet, the Meng family has a lot of men, and their temperament is extraordinary, coupled with Meng Yanzhi's strictness, the children and nephews in the family have inherited his advantages of being respectful and introverted, as for Concubine Meng, it is really because she only gave birth to such a daughter, so she is spoiled by heaven.

And now, Meng Yan knows that he can't be Taoguang anymore, and then watch the Chu family grow stronger day by day, and the government is unstable, although this country is said to be defeated by Jing Heng, but it can really sit firmly, most of them have to rely on these capable courtiers with humerus, and Meng Yan is one of the leading heroes, which Meng Yan Du Ming and Jing Heng also know.

Meng Yan didn't want Dahuan to be unstable, and besides, he had secretly given Jingren a face, this emperor's eldest son was really not a person who cared about the world, what if he ascended the throne and wiped out the heroes?

In short, Meng Yan had thought about it carefully, Jingren was not suitable to be the prince! dragged the crown prince, firstly, to wait for the future selection, and secondly, maybe Concubine Meng would have a chance to give birth to a son? Of course, the most important thing is that he knows that Jing Heng needs someone who can compete with Chu Xu at this time, and the most suitable person is himself!

As a subordinate, he will always solve his most headache for the emperor, which is a magic weapon that Meng Yan has been praised by the emperors for decades!

Meng Yan is a smart person, Jing Heng is also a smart person, it is very convenient for a smart person to talk to a smart person, Meng Yan said such a sentence, Jing Heng stopped asking, he knew that Meng Yan was going to stand on the front line of the Chu family for him!

Then the monarch and the minister said something casually, Jing Heng asked about Meng Yan's physical condition, and then instructed Qiu Lin to send Meng Yan back to the house with his shoulder!

When Meng Yan heard this will, he suddenly trembled, and two lines of tears burst out, and he bowed and worshipped!

Yun Xiaotian was the first person to ride out of the palace on his shoulder!

Thirty years later, he finally enjoyed the same treatment as his best friend!

Everyone in the world thinks that the two of them are incompatible, because many times Meng Yan's credit will be deducted on Yun Xiaotian! But only he knows that Yun Xiaotian is a man of temperament, Meng Yan envies him the most chic and uninhibited, the two of them regard each other as confidants, and the good story of "Yun Mou Meng Xuan" is the best witness to the friendship between the two!

The news that Meng Yan was thrown out of the palace by Jing Hengci quickly spread, and even the concubines in the inner courtyard of the deep palace knew about it.

Concubine Meng lit up, pinched her handkerchief and asked in surprise, "Is what you said true?" ”

The palace maid lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Niangniang, it's true, Concubine Rong was almost knocked down when she was swimming in the lanterns last night, and was rescued by the Seventh Prince on the spot, and the Seventh Prince still hugged her!" ”

"Good!" Concubine Meng bit the word tightly, her apricot eyes narrowed, she was very proud in her heart, and her face, which had been dimmed for a long time, finally regained her vitality! (To be continued.) )
