Chapter 799: What do you think?
"Meng Aiqing!" Xu Ruixiang changed his title and urged.
Meng Tang could only stubbornly come out of the ranks, first sneaking a glance at Long Yan, and finding that he had kept smiling from beginning to end, he couldn't guess his mind even more.
Looking at the third prince again, he was looking at himself with fierce eyes.
The six princes smiled kindly, but like the emperor, people couldn't guess their thoughts.
The most reassuring thing is about the Nine Emperor Princes, who met his gaze, bared his teeth, and obviously said a few words with his mouth: Leave me alone!
After coughing lightly and clearing his throat, Meng Tang replied: "Your Majesty, the prince is indeed the foundation of the country, and the three princes, the six princes, the nine princes, including the rest of the princes, are all tiger fathers without dogs, and each has inherited the advantages of the emperor!" And the prince, who is in the prime of life and at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, does not need to worry about the country's affairs! But since the ministers proposed, the ministers thought that the emperor might as well use it as a reference, and from today on, he could observe whether the princes had the ability to inherit the emperor's will. What does the emperor think? ”
Isn't that the same as not being said?
Suddenly, several ministers who made a proposal looked at Meng Tang with disdain in their eyes, despising him for being so tactful, and no one could be offended.
But in this way, the matter of Lichu will return to the original point, right!
"The minister seconded the opinion of the Lord Protector!" partial, General Zhenxi also inserted a bar.
However, Xu Ruixiang's eyes when he looked at General Zhenxi were not as easy-going as when he looked at Meng Tang, and he still remembered the culprit who helped Huyan Yu'er escape in the first place!
General Zhenxi was also very helpless: Your Majesty, how many years have passed. Do you still remember from time to time that you are not idle and tired?
Prime Minister Qiao and they were still waiting to express their position, but Xu Ruixiang raised his hand to signal them to silence, and then said with a full heart: "Since all Aiqing can't reach an agreement, arguing in the court is just a waste of tongue!" I thought Meng Aiqing's suggestion was very good, so I set a deadline. Within three years, any adult prince can show his talents to the fullest. In my eyes, you are all the same, with good and bad sides. It's up to you to see how you manage these three years. How about changing the shortcomings to a little bit of healthy competition? ”
"Sons and ministers obey their father's arrangement!" The princes immediately received the order.
Dispersed and went out of the main hall. Meng Tang was about to say a few words to his two sons-in-law. Zhou Hai hurriedly ran out of the side hall. invited Meng Tang to go to the imperial study to see the emperor.
Meng Tang secretly had a headache, the emperor was not ready to let him go today.
When I entered the imperial study, I saw that Xu Ruixiang was not sitting in front of the imperial case to review the chapter. Instead, he was sitting at the table eating snacks, and when he saw him come in, he beckoned him and said, "Come on, come on, Ah Tang, let's eat something together to cushion our stomachs." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Meng Tang was indeed a little hungry, so he was not polite, so he sat down and took a sip of a bowl of lotus seed soup handed by Zhou Hai, and then sandwiched a piece of mung bean cake to eat.
When the two of them were eating, they didn't speak, and after eating, Xu Ruixiang rinsed his mouth and cleaned his hands before saying, "What do you think of today's affairs?" ”
Meng Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "Although your lordships are a little more radical today, it is understandable that you think of the foundation of the country!" ”
"Are you saying that I'm really old and have to be virtuous?" Xu Ruixiang said with a straight face.
Meng Tang secretly sweated and said, "Your Majesty, of course the minister didn't mean that!" ”
"And what do you mean?"
"The minister just understands the thoughts of the lords, and also understands the thoughts of the emperor!"
"Huh! I think you're the best player at football, so I don't want to offend you! Xu Ruixiang hummed.
Meng Tang Khan: "Your Majesty, the ministers have always only told the truth!" You are only in your forties, full of energy, your body has always been good, and you govern the country well, if you abdicate and make way for the virtuous, it depends on whether the princes can match you by five points! ”
"This sycophant is a good shot, although I know that you are flattering, but it is also comfortable to listen to!"
Meng Tang ......
"Your Majesty, the minister did not flatter him, he told the truth!"
"Then tell me another big truth, which of these princes of mine do you want to support the most?"
Meng Tang ......
Can he not answer?
Obviously not!
"Your Majesty, the ministers have just made it clear in the main hall that the emperor should weigh and study the princes by their strength and beneficial aspects to the country, who can be the most powerful prince, inherit the unification in the future, and carry forward our dynasty."
"Aren't you doing Tai Chi again?" Xu Ruixiang looked at him disapprovingly and said, "Although I followed your words and gave them three years of training. However, you and I know very well that the minds of these adult princes have been determined now, and there will not be much change in the future. Therefore, three years is just a sloppy eye, and in the end, the candidate for the crown prince will still be produced among the three of them. ”
"Are you sure that the emperor will also count the Nine Emperor Princes among them?" Meng Tang asked.
Xu Ruixiang was stunned and asked rhetorically: "What, do you think Xuan'er is not suitable?" ”
Meng Tang pondered for a moment and shook his head and said: "It's not that the minister thinks that the Nine Emperor Princes are not suitable, but he thinks that the Nine Emperor Princes' temperament is probably more with the noble concubine, and power is just an auxiliary tool that can help him." What he wants may be a free and easy life, without discipline and responsibility! ”
"Humph! You know him very well! Xu Ruixiang was unhappy again, "That stinky boy, that's all he thinks about!" All day long, if he doesn't learn and don't know how to do it, he just wants to eat, drink and have fun, and if he doesn't get his way, he thinks that he can get rid of his responsibilities in this way, but I don't let him get his way! ”
Meng Tang Zaihan: Your Majesty, the willfulness of the Nine Emperor Princes has actually inherited more from you! He is like the first lady of the emperor's concubine, but he just loves freedom and does not like constraints.
"Among the third and sixth children, who do you think is better?" After muttering about Xu Jingxuan, Xu Ruixiang mentioned Xu Jingyu and Xu Jingxuan again.
"You have to tell the truth?"
"Naturally!"
"Wouldn't you think the minister was favoritism?"
"Let you just say it, what do you do with so much!"
"Okay, that's it! Although the third prince is the eldest and raised by the queen's side, he is too small-minded and self-serving, if he is the king, I am afraid that it is easy to suspect the courtiers and cause the courtiers to panic! The sixth prince is gentle and upright, and over the years, he has led the Jingshu Guard, and has never let the emperor worry about it. Moreover, he is famous, and the people are very supportive. Although the minister doesn't know how many ministers in the court are towards the six princes, if he chooses between the three princes and the six princes, the minister bets that the probability of the six princes will be higher! ”
"You're biased!"
"Huh?" Meng Tang was puzzled. (To be continued.) )
