Chapter 421: Rumors Rise Again
It's just a few days of work, but with the news of the boiling emperor's private visit, it is another royal secret - the queen of the dynasty can't get pregnant!
As soon as this news came out, the people in the entire capital immediately became hotly discussed, and soon, the entire Chu State knew about it, and the queen could not get pregnant, especially after the emperor decided that there was only one queen in the harem, which was even more important.
If the emperor really did this, wouldn't there be no one to inherit the huge Chu State? Some of the old ministers felt the crisis, and they all thought about asking Xiao Yechen to abolish the queen, and fill the harem, leaving the imperial heir for the Chu State.
And some clans have begun to have other ideas, Xiao Yechen is very clear about Du Yan's feelings, maybe he really only guards Du Yan alone, in this way, this emperor who has no heirs, doesn't he want to choose a child from the clan to inherit the throne?
It's just that after thinking about it like this, some clans began to take action, but they thought clearly, if Xiao Yechen has an heir, then they can only be a child of the clan in this life, but if their son or grandson can have this honor to be selected by Xiao Yechen, then their branch will be developed!
Therefore, in the court, the people were divided into two groups.
Lord Liu was the first to stand up, he looked at Xiao Yechen, his eyes were full of pride: "Your Majesty! The queen is infertile, so what future can the Chu State have? ”
Xiao Yechen sat in the hall, his eyes were full of anger, he clenched the armrest in his hand, his heart was churning, he didn't expect that this matter would be told by someone, who is it?
Seeing him, he didn't speak, and Lord Liu quickly spoke again: "Your Majesty, the Du family is jealous, and infertile, and is not worthy of being the mother of the country, the emperor needs to choose a virtuous and virtuous queen for the Chu State as soon as possible, and then recruit concubines and concubines to fill the harem, so that the imperial heir can be extended!" ”
"Lord Liu, I don't know, I didn't know that the queen was infertile, why did you know?" Countless thoughts rose in Xiao Yechen's heart, but he still decided to solve the matter in front of him quickly.
He only looked at Lord Liu coldly now, the ink in his eyes was churning, and when he met these eyes, Lord Liu was terrified, but for the future glory of his family, he still stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, there are rumors in the market now......"
"Rumors?"
Without waiting for Xiao Yechen to speak, An Mingxun stood up, he stared at Lord Liu deadly, his face was flushed, obviously angry. If it weren't for this Jinluan Palace, he was afraid that he would have started to beat people.
"Lord Liu, are you vainly talking about the queen's suitability to be charged? It's just a rumor, you even got this Jinluan Palace to speak, what are you doing in this Jinluan Palace? Is it a folk? ”
An Mingxun's words made Lord Liu's face suddenly red, he didn't expect An Mingxun to speak so viciously, he didn't save any face for himself, he naturally wanted to refute that this matter was not a rumor, but it was impossible for him to confess Xia Yu, for a while, under An Mingxun's questioning, he could only support himself, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Just two of them
When he spoke, many old ministers in the court looked at Xiao Yechen boldly, only to see that Xiao Yechen's face was full of calm, and there was only anger towards Lord Liu on his face, so they couldn't figure out whether this rumor was true or not.
If it is fake, why does Lord Liu dare to bring it up in the court, but if it is true, why does the emperor look like this?
The ministers' eyes flickered between the two of them, not at all in their minds.
In the end, it was Xiao Yechen who spoke: "The queen is in good health, but Lord Liu, you are blind and deaf, but you should go and see it, this rumor, you believe it, how can I reuse you in the future?" ”
Xiao Yechen's words made Lord Liu's face suddenly turn pale, he stood trembling in place, but after half a ring, he remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, why did you take the queen to Jiangnan?" There is a gynecological holy hand in Jiangnan, if the queen is safe, why go to Jiangnan? ”
"Lord Liu, I have already revealed before that I and the queen decided to pay a private visit to the queen this time in order to observe the people's feelings, what does this have to do with the queen's body?"
Lord Liu only saw Xiao Yechen's face sinking at this moment, his heart fell to the bottom, and he didn't dare to say these words again for a while.
An Mingxun stood aside, but he sneered, not taking into account Lord Liu's mood at all.
At this moment, Lord Liu's face was decayed, and he could only stand aside, not daring to say a word, for fear of being hated by Xiao Yechen.
Although he did not mobilize others to join him to dissuade Xiao Yechen from taking a concubine, because of his request today, many ministers were already muttering in their hearts.
In the past, because of Xiao Yechen's opposition, none of them dared to touch Xiao Yechen's moldy head, but now Lord Liu's words made them start to think carefully.
What if something happens to the queen's body, and she really can't get pregnant? Xiao Yechen is now a sincere favor to the queen, and the suggestions they made are completely useless, if this goes on like this, what should be the future of the Chu State?
Xiao Yechen sat on the dragon chair, taking in the eyes of the people below, just by looking at it like this, he already understood what these people were thinking, in order to stabilize their emotions for the time being, he calmly spoke: "Rest assured, Aiqing, I and the queen are in young age, and they are in good health, but there are some things that cannot be rushed. ”
He said this clearly and clearly, and after some ministers heard it, they could only forget it like that.
Lord Liu saw that the incident he had finally provoked was calmed down like this, and he was very anxious, but he could only endure it, just waiting for another attack in the future.
Back in the imperial study, Xiao Yechen's face was extremely ugly, he threw all the folds in his hand to the ground, and said angrily to An Mingxun behind him: "Then Liu Yuan! I really don't want to live! ”
"The emperor is angry." When An Mingxun saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, this was the first time he had seen Xiao Yechen so angry for so many years.
"Where the national teacher is, there must be an inner ghost!"
Xiao Yechen's handsome face was as cold as frost at the moment, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he immediately looked at An Mingxun.
After hearing this, An Mingxun was first surprised, and then looked at Xiao Yechen in disbelief, but he was surprised that there was not such a thing as an internal ghost, it was extremely normal for those families to have one or two internal responses in the palace, but what he was surprised was the meaning of Xiao Yechen's words.
"Your Majesty, do you mean Sister Yan'er, she really can't get pregnant?"
An Mingxun was like being struck by lightning, he stood in place for a long time and couldn't react, he didn't make any movement at the moment, only looked at Xiao Yechen, wanting to get an answer.
Facing his gaze, even if Xiao Yechen didn't want to admit it in his heart, but in the face of An Mingxun, he couldn't hide it, so he could only nod and say: "That's true, I went to the national teacher that day for this matter, but I was listened to!" ”
At this time, the two only heard the sound of porcelain breaking with a "bang", and looked at the visitor.
