The queen looked at the news sent by the secret guard in her hand, her brows tightened and she didn't say a word, she couldn't stand her son even if she couldn't stand it, but what could she do now.

Mama Lian waved away the little palace maid who was waiting for the queen to freshen up, picked up the sandalwood comb on the side and carefully helped her smooth her hair: "The queen frowned when she read the letter, but what happened to her?" ”

The queen raised her hand to untie the lampshade, put the letterhead in her hand and lit it, the red flame jumped up and licked the black handwriting little by little, until she confirmed that all of them were turned into ashes before she sighed: "It's not that King Kang is useless, he didn't keep Shen Xiang's daughter well, I heard that the threshold of the Shen family has been broken by the relatives recently, and today the secret guard found that King Xian took people to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Also going to propose?" Mama Lian was a little surprised, no matter how good Shen Jiahe was, but in the end she was his nephew's woman, others could not mind that she was a divorced person, but King Xian, as King Kang's uncle, could never marry a former niece and daughter-in-law.

Even Mama thought like this, and said it like this, the queen thought about the content of the letter, and relaxed a little: "It was said that he went empty-handed, and it shouldn't be a marriage proposal, but now at this outlet, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion for no reason, we should always be vigilant." ”

"But if the king really doesn't care about his face, he wants to marry him, and I'm afraid that the queen mother can't stop it." The queen pondered for a moment, and her newly relieved heart rose again.

If the Shen family becomes Pei Yuan's Yue family, and the Shi family is his backer, what about the identity of the eldest son, her son is nothing in the face of real power.

The queen fell asleep in a deep sigh, and had nightmares all night, and got up early in the morning with a headache that made her feel that her eyes couldn't see clearly, and even Mama hurriedly went to ask the head of the hospital to come over to check for the queen.

After pondering for a long time, the head of the hospital instructed the medicine boy to summon the imperial doctor who asked the queen mother for a safe pulse on weekdays: "In the past, you asked the queen mother for a safe pulse, but there was anything unusual to find." ”

The imperial doctor knelt down and replied in fear: "The queen mother should have a strong liver fire and occasional symptoms of chest tightness, but in fact, it is because she doesn't sleep well at night that these problems will be caused. ”

The head of the hospital waved his hand to let the imperial doctor go down, and then turned to the queen and said: "Niangniang is thinking too much, so that she is worried about becoming ill, although she can be treated with medicine, but it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the queen mother needs to explain herself more." ”

The queen ordered Mama Lian to send the head of the courtyard out, she stared at the armor in her hand and was stunned, and after a long time she smiled bitterly, she didn't know where her heart was, but she didn't see her son ascend to the dragon throne for a day, and she had to spend a day in fear, which couldn't be explained.

Now the emperor is still in good health, but he has not established a prince for a long time, what the purpose is is self-evident, King Kang he can't look down on him at all, so he is waiting, waiting for a son who is more suitable than King Kang to sit in that position, and soon the children below will grow up, who knows if there will be a better existence than King Kang.

Don't look far, even if you look at the front first, she can't rest assured, King Xian and Kang Wan are the same age, but his reputation and ability have spread outside early, if the emperor has an accident, I'm afraid this country ......

The queen only felt a cold sweat, she couldn't sit still anymore, she knew in her heart that this matter needed to have a result as soon as possible, seeing Mama Lian who sent people back, she hurriedly ordered: "Change the court clothes for the palace, and the palace will go to meet the emperor." ”

If such a thing as inheriting her father's position is placed in an ordinary family, I am afraid that the husband and wife will finish talking in the house after closing the door, but in this boxy palace, she has to sit in a sedan chair for a long time to bump the road before she can see her husband.

After saluting, the queen did not hide it, and directly explained her intentions: "Your Majesty, now that King Kang is getting older and his eldest son is about to be born, should the emperor also consider the canonization of the crown prince for him." ”

The emperor looked at the queen who came in full costume and groaned, in his selfish heart he didn't want to establish a prince so quickly, with Pei Shu's ability, he didn't have the ability to become a prince at all, but except for this eldest son, the rest were either too young, or their ability was not as good as King Kang.

Seeing that the emperor was silent for a long time, the queen had to prostrate on the ground and speak again: "Shu'er, as the eldest son, should inherit the throne in the future, does the emperor want to see this throne fall on someone else's head?" ”

The emperor took a deep look at the queen, her worries were also his own worries, how King Kang was talented and virtuous, but that was also his own son, as for others, no matter how capable they were, they were also outsiders.

Originally, he wanted to wait for the other young children to grow up, but now it seems that time does not allow him to delay, and after a long time, he finally nodded: "What the queen said is that tomorrow morning I will announce this matter in the court, I know in my heart, the queen will go back and rest first." ”

The next day, there was an uproar in the court, everyone was whispering, this was something that the emperor had not expected before, he thought that he would directly announce the canonization of King Kang as the crown prince in the early court, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites below could prepare according to the canonization ceremony, but he did not expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was opposed by everyone.

First of all, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate directly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor's move is subject to discussion, the king should be virtuous, if the king himself behaves improperly, how can he be the prince, and how can he set an example to become an example for all the people and officials." ”

"The so-called Qi family rules the country and leveled the world, King Kang's own small family has been made a mess, how can he govern the world, the prince wants to be canonized, but this matter must not be decided at will. Your Majesty, you have to think twice! As soon as Yushi's voice fell, some cabinet scholars stood up and seconded the proposal.

"If you talk about morality, you can slowly teach and return to the right in the future, if you don't govern the world well, you can also learn modestly in the future and explore slowly, but we will never agree that a princess of a different race gave birth to our country's son-in-law, King Kang can divorce his wife for the side concubine today, it is difficult to guarantee that the side concubine will not be corrected after the throne, I am afraid that the royal blood will not be correct, and our country's country will also change its surname!"

It was General Gu who said this, he led the troops to drive the barbarians out of the Central Plains many times, he didn't like the princess of Fanbang, and the direction he considered was different from others, but General Gu's prestige was not down for a long time, and he also had many supporters in the court. ”

Pei Shu stood aside with a pale face, he received the news of canonization from the queen's palace last night, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and he was suppressed from the highest excitement all at once, he couldn't stand it, and he only felt that his body was shaking.

The emperor looked at him coldly, and was about to reprimand him to divert the attention of the officials, but he didn't want a young voice to say a suggestion that made him even more afraid.

Cheng Yiming, the squire of the military department, came out of front of the kneeling crowd, and said loudly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that compared to King Kang, King Xian is more suitable for the position of the heir, Prince Xian is also a royal family, with pure blood and good ability, and he was the best candidate at that time." ”

The emperor glared at Cheng Yiming, but the other party lowered his head and didn't look at him.

He was so angry that he trembled, and felt more and more that King Kang was useless, but he didn't want to fall in front of Pei Yuan, and was about to wave his hand to let Cheng Yiming go down, but the officials below rushed to echo it, not only hyped Pei Yuan's political achievements, but also compared him and Pei Shu together, and the distinction between the good and the bad was superior.

He propped his head and looked at the people below who had been chattering, and he wanted to directly smash the jade seal in his hand on the faces of these people, but after a long time, the officials saw that the emperor at the top did not say a word, and his face became extremely ugly, so he slowly closed his voice.

"The matter of establishing the crown prince, since the Zhongqing family is in dispute, this matter will be postponed and discussed later, some time ago, Yin of the capital suburb of Beijing received a passing businessman who said that several towns near the capital have been flooded, I decided to send someone to investigate and help the local officials deal with this matter by the way, I don't know who you think is appropriate?" The emperor watched everyone calm down, and knew that this matter was inconclusive today, so he quickly changed the topic.

"The younger brother is willing to go to the disaster relief and hope that the emperor will be fulfilled." Pei Hao asked directly.

The emperor looked at him, Pei Hao didn't like to stay in the capital, he always liked to go outside to play, but he was also conscientious when he started to do things, so he nodded: "That's very good, but I'm afraid you're too hardworking, I'll send one more person to assist you." ”

His eyes skimmed over these hundred officials one by one, and finally stopped on Pei Yuan's body: "Why don't you let King Xian accompany King Ling to rescue the disaster together?" Today, the officials respect you so much, you should not look at such a trivial matter. ”

"It's a trivial matter about the life and death of the people, since the emperor has an order, the ministers dare not disobey." Pei Yuan replied expressionlessly.

"The incompetent still want to sit in the Jinluan Palace, and today the hundred officials support King Xian, and King Kang is isolated, which is really ridiculous." Shen Xiang mentioned the matter at the dinner table.

Shen Xiang said that he was more laughing at Pei Shu, but Shen Jiahe was indeed concerned about Pei Yuan being sent out of Beijing to control the flood.

She couldn't feel at ease, and after struggling for a long time, she went to King Xian's mansion and gave him some suggestions for flood control: "There are many reasons for floods, I haven't seen them with my own eyes, and I can't know why floods will occur, so I wrote corresponding treatment methods according to some specific causes, I hope this can help you." ”

Shen Jiahe handed over a snow-white letterhead in his hand: "You must be careful when you go out, I heard my father say what happened in the early dynasty today, and I am afraid it will not be so simple to transfer you out of the capital this time." ”

Pei Yuan took the letterhead and put it away properly, looked at Shen Jiahe's solemn expression and smiled: "I don't have to worry about this matter, but you have to be careful in the capital, I will leave Liuyu to protect you, if there is anything, you can let him help you pass the message." ”

Seeing Shen Jiahe away, Pei Yuan's eyes darkened, and he sent a secret guard to deliver a letter to the Yuan Pavilion, Ah Jin was not at ease, he actually came to the palace in person, and as soon as he entered the door, he saluted and said: "Lord!" ”

Pei Yuan thought about today's events, and after thinking about it, he explained Ah Jin in detail, and when Ah Jin left, he began to clean up his softness, and when he was about to clean up, he saw Liuyu standing outside the door with a sword.
