Chapter 375: Prime Minister Duan makes a move
Prime Minister Duan said, "Back to the emperor, Weichen feels that this matter should indeed be discussed later, after all, the virtue of the eighth prince is not worthy, and this matter should be carefully considered!" ”
Everyone was secretly surprised, it was not Duan Cheng who had the best relationship with the Eighth Prince on weekdays, how could Prime Minister Duan Cheng embarrass the Eighth Prince in public today! The ministers smell the gossip! I'm really trying to figure this out.
Yuan Chufeng was a little surprised, he and the Nine Emperor Princes looked at each other and smiled, and then they already had an answer to today's matter in their hearts, although they didn't know what tricks Prime Minister Duan was playing behind his back, but this matter must have a causal connection.
The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Duan thoughtfully, and he said with a smile, "On weekdays, Prime Minister Duan doesn't support the Eighth Prince, why don't you investigate this matter today?" ”
Duan Cheng said with a smile, "Wei Chen just admired the virtues of the Eighth Emperor at the beginning, but now although the Eighth Prince is smart, the position of the crown prince is not so competent, and there are still many assessments, at least three divisions need to be tried, for the court and the people, this matter is done to protect them." ”
Everyone felt that Prime Minister Duan was right, they secretly glanced at the expression of the Eighth Prince, it was really very ugly, they secretly said in their hearts, it seems that today's things are much more difficult than they imagined, I am afraid that the Eighth Prince and Prime Minister Duan have collapsed because of their interests, so that some things are more and more expected.
"What you said is right, but since this matter has been decided, I will definitely not change my mind, half a month later, if the eighth prince can pass the trial of the three divisions, I will appoint him as the crown prince, so do you have any objections?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, no one knows the emperor's thoughts, but for today's affairs, he has his own concerns and considerations in his heart, entrusted by the queen mother, he can't turn a blind eye, but the waves above the court are turbulent, and only by slowly finishing his chess game can he have no regrets.
Naturally, everyone didn't dare to have an opinion, and when it came to this, they hurriedly said, "Everything is up to the emperor!" ”
The eighth prince's face was not half happy, although on the surface, this was the emperor's promotion of himself, but how difficult it was for the three divisions to interrogate, he wouldn't know, I am afraid that the emperor is just using another way to embarrass himself.
However, the one who achieves great things is not informal, and he has already planned this matter when he came, so naturally there will be no mistakes.
"If it's okay today, all of you stand down." The emperor stroked his eyebrows and said tiredly.
The crowd bowed and said, "We will obey." ”
On the way back, the Nine Emperors said to King Zhennan uneasily, "Father and Emperor have agreed to this matter, this matter is so ridiculous whether you look at it or listen to it, I really don't understand what Father thinks!" ”
"Don't worry, things have come to this point, you can only take the retreat as a concession, this king has his own considerations in his heart, you don't have to worry." King Zhennan stroked his eyebrows and said secretly.
"It seems that the imperial brother is already confident, so good!" The Nine Emperors said excitedly, "You can't let Yuan Qingshu succeed, his villainous appearance is really unlikeable, I hope there is still room for maneuver, otherwise if something happens to my father, we will be the ones who will be expelled from Hanzhou." ”
The Nine Emperors understand the character of Yuan Qingshu very well, he has always had no room for sand in his eyes, and there must be other choices for today's affairs!
"Don't worry, at least the matter is still under our control, what this king wants to know more is what Prime Minister Duan is calculating, today he actually criticized the Eighth Prince in the court, it seems that the relationship between the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Duan is not as close as in the past, if so, it will be a lot of benefits for us!"
The words of the Nine Emperor Princes, King Zhennan heard in his ears, but he said indifferently, "We don't have to mix things between them, but for now, it's better to be cautious." ”
"Brother Huang, I understand."
The Queen Mother was very angry when she got the news, and she heard Aunt Shuangxue say that the matter was about to be done, but Prime Minister Duan appeared halfway and disrupted all the plans, Prime Minister Duan was originally a person with her, but now she changed the emperor's mind, and the Queen Mother secretly hated Prime Minister Duan in her heart.
"Is this true?" The Queen Mother's eyes are gloomy, if Prime Minister Duan is in front of her, I am afraid that she will be stared at with a thousand holes.
"It's true, but today's matter is still up for discussion, the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, I think maybe Prime Minister Duan has a last resort! He has always been a heartfelt queen mother, how can he ...... now?"
Aunt Shuangxue didn't want to think about things in the worst position, but things have come to this point, and there are indeed concerns, and there is actually nothing wrong with the Queen Mother's worries.
"People's hearts are fickle, and the mourning family originally wanted to believe him, but what the prime minister did during this period of time really disappointed the mourning family!" The Queen Mother said coldly, "Shuangxue, you check with the mourning family, who has Prime Minister Duan had dealings with recently, and the mourning family is not at ease after all." ”
Aunt Shuangxue nodded and said, "The slave maid will go to investigate, and ask the queen mother to give the slave maid a while." ”
"Okay, let's go down, the matter has happened, the mourning family has prepared enough time, no matter what, today's matter will be resolved."
After Aunt Shuangxue left, the Queen Mother was worried, she used her past friendship with the emperor to get this opportunity, but it was ruined by Prime Minister Duan, she was not sure whether Yuan Qingshu could successfully pass the trial of the three divisions, but she had no confidence in this matter.
……
The emperor went back to the Yangxin Palace in the morning, he didn't speak all the way, and Gonggong Jiang next to him noticed that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say anything and could only accompany the emperor.
"Gonggong Jiang, do you say that all this is destined by God, do you think, is the eighth prince a candidate for the crown prince?" The emperor's eyes looked out of the window, no one knew the emperor's thoughts, but this time the incident still made the emperor hesitate very much.
"Slaves don't dare to say much, how can slaves talk too much about things in the court."
Hearing Gonggong Jiang say this, the emperor sneered, "I haven't seen you talk much on weekdays, but now I want to listen to your advice, but you have taken it up, aren't you afraid that I will punish your crimes?" ”
Gonggong Jiang knelt down with a plop, and he said to the emperor tremblingly, "The slave feels that although the eighth prince has the talent to govern the country, he is not the best candidate for the crown prince, he has a bad reputation in the court, and he has a bad reputation among the people, and the reputation among the people is not the best, if the eighth prince is the prince, I am afraid that there will be a lot of waves in Hanzhou." ”
When the emperor heard Gonggong Jiang say this, his heart was also calm, and it seemed that Gonggong Jiang was also able to distinguish between right and wrong.
