As soon as Wang Xijue said this, everyone's hearts suddenly sank.

Originally, everyone didn't think it was anything, but when they said this, they had to pay attention to it.

It's a matter of the country, and it has to be heavy!

"Speaking of which, the old man has heard some rumors related to the harem, but he doesn't know whether to talk about it......"

The old man's voice fell, and everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, Li Tingji spoke softly.

"But it's okay to talk about it, I'll just listen to the rumors!"

Wang Xijue was silent, but he opened his mouth from the bottom of his heart.

The crowd immediately chimed in.

"Yes, I'll talk casually, but it's okay to talk!"

Li Tingji's face was embarrassed, and only after a moment did he grit his teeth and lower his voice.

"I won't hide it from you, the old man once chatted with Yang Rong's father-in-law of the internal official and supervisor, and heard him mention some palace secrets."

"It is said that when His Majesty was newly promoted to the throne, he connected the crown princess to the palace and prepared for the canonization ceremony, but at that time, the harem was presided over by the first emperor and queen, so he went to worship the queen first, but he had a disagreement with the queen mother on the canonization of the harem concubines!"

Although all of them are cabinet ministers, it has always been taboo to inquire into the secrets of the palace, so they don't know much about the affairs of the harem.

But Li Tingji is different, he is an old minister of the East Palace, and most of the people in the palace have old friends, just like he just said, the inner official and eunuch Yang Rong is the great eunuch who serves in Kunning Palace, and manages the affairs of the entire harem, which can be regarded as the chief housekeeper of the harem.

Since the news was obtained from his mouth, the credibility must be not low, and when he thought of this, the curiosity in everyone's hearts was even greater, and they all secretly pricked up their ears.

Li Tingji didn't care about them, paused, lowered his voice by three points again, and spoke.

"Do you know that there is a Li Niangniang in the palace, who is a palace maid, but she is very favored by the Son of Heaven, when she and the crown princess Niangniang were diagnosed with pregnancy at the same time, there was a period of time, Your Majesty even sent Wang An's father-in-law to take care of her daily life, until now, this Li Niangniang is also very favored......"

"At that time, His Majesty ascended the throne, ready to canonize the queen, and at the same time canonized the concubines, the first emperor and queen presided over the palace affairs, with the crown princess as the queen, and Li Niangniang as one of the four concubines, but was refuted by the queen and queen, and the main palace was undecided, Li Niangniang was the first to choose the waiter, even if she was pregnant, she should not be excessively promoted, although His Majesty agreed to come down at that time, but her face was unhappy but it was clear......"

Li Tingji said mysteriously, but the ministers had slightly gloomy faces, obviously hearing some unclear meaning from his words.

"Your Majesty, what does it mean to play the old emperor?"

Zhu Geng's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a dark and inexplicable meaning in his tone.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Li also looked thoughtful and said softly.

"Speaking of which, this situation is indeed fresh in the memory of the old man, since the two mothers are pregnant at the same time, I don't know who is first and who is second, if the two mothers give birth to a prince and a princess, if they give birth to a prince at the same time and Li Niangniang gives birth to the emperor's eldest son first......"

Shen Li suddenly stopped talking, but his meaning was already clear.

For the order of succession to the throne, the Ming Dynasty has clear and clear regulations, that is, there are descendants and no heirs.

In other words, according to the rules, as long as the queen gives birth to a prince, then she is a natural heir.

But don't forget, although the rules are there, the Son of Heaven does not necessarily follow the rules.

If the emperor had followed these rules, the road to the throne would not have been so difficult.

Although the righteousness is in the body of today, but the first emperor favored the Zheng family, but wanted to set up the four princes as the prince, if it were not for the talent and intelligence of today, and repeatedly broke the situation, it is not yet known what the outcome of the battle for the country will be.

And how similar is the situation at that time, if the two mothers really gave birth to the prince at the same time, and the Li Niangniang gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, then in other words, there will be a situation where the eldest son is not the son-in-law.

Although in terms of the order of inheritance, the son-in-law is still better than the eldest son, but if it is a little lacking after all.

Although the situation at the time of the first emperor was different from the current situation, but a prince who was not a grandson or a prince could almost replace the emperor's eldest son, but if a prince with the title of the emperor's eldest son had the support of the emperor, he could not replace the emperor's concubine as the crown prince?

Although the emperor has not yet revealed this meaning, if what Li Tingji said is not wrong, then it is already very dangerous to be willing to have a cold war with his mother-in-law because of the status of a mere concubine, and even the canonization of the queen and the queen mother has been put aside.

I think the reason why the first emperor wanted to make the fourth prince the crown prince was because he favored the Zheng family?

"Don't! The position of the deposit, the matter of the country, how can it be reckless, now the emperor has been snubbed for many years, it is difficult to enter the East Palace, when you know the weight of the storage position, you can not be easy, we are the cabinet ministers, when the chaos is set right, and I strongly advise Your Majesty to store the position in the East Palace! ”

Everyone present was an old minister who had come over from the Divine Sect, so they naturally reacted immediately.

Zhu Geng took a step forward and said with a solemn face.

However, his righteous words made Li Tingji sneer.

said that it was high-sounding, but in fact, it was just for his own selfish interests, what he just said was just a rumor, there is no evidence, not to mention that what Shen Li said was just a possibility, the two mothers were pregnant, and they had not yet given birth to a prince, Zhu Geng jumped out with a roar, saying that he was for the sake of the court society, and Li Ge always refused to believe it.

Isn't he afraid that he will offend the Son of Heaven at this time, and when the time comes, it will be the Zhenggong Niangniang who will give birth to the prince first, and when the eldest son and sister-in-law will be integrated into one, will he do useless work in vain?

It's not that Li Ge Lao lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but at this juncture, Zhu Ge Lao said such a thing, which is really suspicious, you know, they came here this time to discuss Ye Xianggao's performance.

And Ye Xianggao's performance is obviously extremely unfavorable to the Zhejiang Party, and at this time, Zhu Geng said this, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to change the topic.

You must know that the original dispute between the country and the state has been antagonistic to the monarch and the minister, and it has been a troublesome thing for more than ten years, if he provokes this topic again, even if he can't make another dispute over the country, he can always temporarily shift the attention of the entire court and win a respite for the Zhejiang Party.

He and Shen Li's singing and harmony are very familiar.

But do they really think they're going to bring it up for no reason?

A faint hint of mockery flashed in Li Tingji's eyes, but he was silent.

But what he didn't expect was that seeing this situation, Lao Shoufu couldn't stand it anymore, and frowned and opened his mouth.

"Don't be suspicious, Your Majesty is wise and martial, how can you tamper with the storage position, the matter of the harem, we don't know the inside story, how can we make a conclusion based on the words of the family!"
