As soon as the prince said this, he named himself as a party to participate in the matter of the prince's appointment as a concubine, and also named himself as the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty to think about state affairs.

This time, many officials did not get any information about the crown prince and concubine in advance, and it was clearly Empress Jia's temporary intention.

What's even more ridiculous is that just now Empress Jia actually listened to Jia Mi's words and let his nephew intercept the prince's beard, so above this court, the queen was just about to make an order, but she was already boiling against the sky, and the opposition was so great that even the top Empress Jia was faintly unable to suppress it.

Now that the arrival of the crown prince is like pouring a handful of hot oil on the fire, the officials are holding their breath and looking forward to it.

Emperor Hui, who was at the top, tilted his head slightly and looked at his queen at a loss, and Empress Jia patted the back of Emperor Hui's hand, which calmed down Emperor Hui, who was a little uneasy, and he said weakly with a little stuttering: "Didn't the queen already make a will on behalf of me?" ”

"Father, dare to ask which family the father has set for his son?"

Although Sima Shu couldn't bear to persecute his somewhat mentally handicapped father, since he came, he didn't muddy the water in front of him, he was afraid that he would have to swallow this evil breath in humiliation, and he and the face of the Sima royal family would naturally be lost.

"Yes, yes......" Emperor Hui twisted and couldn't answer, and Empress Jia on the side smiled coldly, "It's Huifeng, the second queen of the Zhongshu Ling Wang Yan family, what's the matter?" Could it be that the prince thinks something is wrong? ”

"It's not right, and it's a big mistake. I'm afraid Your Majesty may not know that now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even the beggars on the street know that it is the royal daughter who is going to be the concubine of the crown prince, but who would have thought that she would be changed just by the villain's words, and what is the face of the court when it is spread? Where is the face of my Sima royal family? The son of a little relative dared to rob the crown princess, will he still rob me of the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future? ”

"Where is Zongzheng?" Sima Shu didn't care about the pale face of Empress Jia, and suddenly asked coldly, under his cold gaze, a white-haired old man stood up, and stood up to salute the prince with a somewhat frightened expression: "Sima Yao, the minister of the Zhengqing, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Humph! How did you do this? How can it be tolerated that others bully the royal family like this? As the patriarch of the royal family, you actually hid aside and didn't say a word, which simply lost the face of our Sima family. My Sima family is not powerful, some people want to treat us as sick cats, any cat or dog dares to stand in the court and make a big speech! It seems that the palace is going to invite all the imperial uncles to join the court and assist the government. ”

Jia Mi watched Sima Shu show his majesty in the court, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, originally in the court, he could not speak casually without the emperor's permission. But Empress Jia is his aunt after all, Jia Mi relied on Empress Jia's three points of favor, so he dared to shout at Sima Shu at a glance: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although the lower official and the queen Hui Ying of Lord Wang have no marriage contract, but the lower official and Wang Huiying are in love with each other first, and the concubine for the prince is the last, and the lower official is a small officer, how dare he compete with the prince, His Royal Highness is too heavy, the lower official can't afford it, please take back what you just said!" ”

"You are Jia Mi! According to Master Jia, that is to accuse His Majesty of not knowing anyone with the queen? Or is Lord Jia accusing his father and mother of not investigating clearly and making arbitrary orders when they were choosing the crown princess for the palace? Sima Shu asked with a look of contempt.

"Minister, minister, Your Majesty has no intention of accusing Your Majesty and Niangniang! Minister, minister ......" Facing Sima Shu's questioning, Jia Mi suddenly opened his mouth and stammered, in ancient times, his subordinates could not blame the king, otherwise they would commit an unforgivable crime.

"Where is Tingwei!" Hearing Sima Shu shouting Tingwei, everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, and Jia Mi was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

"Wait! Hongu has something to say! Jia Hou watched Jia Mi retreat under Sima Shu's persecution, and finally couldn't help but jump out and openly break hands with Sima Shu.

"This palace, this palace is choosing a concubine for the crown prince, indeed, indeed ......"

"Wait......"

Just when Empress Jia was about to take the responsibility, Sima Shu interrupted Empress Jia again, he knew that this matter must not let Jia Hou carry the black pot, because Sima Shu could use Tingwei to scare Jia Mi, but there was no way to take the queen, "Before Niangniang spoke, Erchen still had something to tell Niangniang." ”

"Erchen just wants to remind Niangniang, since Niangniang married to the royal family, she should take the interests of my Sima family first, as the saying goes, 'the girl who marries out, spills out the water', if Niangniang has to do something that damages the royal face, then the minister only has the righteousness to kill the relatives, please come to Beijing to evaluate the reason, and preside over the government."

Sima Shu's generous statement made Jia Hou's somewhat hot mind cool down instantly, looking at Sima Shu with a resolute face, Jia Hou knew that if she dared to go her own way, Sima Shu really dared to fight hard to break the net and summon the princes and kings from all over the world into the Beijing Division.

At that time, the princes of the Sima family, who occupy the position of righteousness, are not good men and women, and Empress Jia does not believe that they will let go of such a good opportunity to get rid of the Jia family and control the court. What's more, she just got rid of the king of Runan and the king of Chu, no matter what, she doesn't want to have another prince king to restrain her.

"Come on, pull Jia Mi, who is full of nonsense and wantonly slanders the royal reputation, down to the palace, and severely punish the thirty court staffs!"

Jia Houguo was a ruthless person, and when she was not sure that she was in control of the princes and kings, she didn't dare to risk falling out with the prince, so she had to throw her nephew out as a scapegoat.

Sima Shu looked at Jia Hou, who had made a decision to kill, and couldn't help but feel sad for his father. Although he was still unwilling to let Jia Mi go like this, but looking at the cold-eyed Jia Hou, Sima Shu wisely did not express any opinion.

"Wait, wait, Queen, what's going on? Auntie, aunt, didn't you promise to marry the royal daughter to your nephew? Let go of me, you let go of me! I am the Queen's nephew, and you dare to arrest me! ”

At this time, Jia Mi completely lost his calm, he couldn't imagine how the situation that he thought was a sure victory was turned over by the prince's words.

Jia Hou, who had never seen her nephew like this, was distressed at this time, and she hated Sima Shu, the culprit of all this. Looking at the prince who was becoming more and more outstanding and gradually getting out of his control, a strong murderous intent surged in Jia Hou's heart.

"Where is Lord Zhongshuling?"

Everyone shook their spirits violently, and the ministers on the scene had not yet woken up from Empress Jia's sudden frenzy, when they saw that the prince had pointed the finger at Zhongshu Ling Wang Yan again. Wang Yan stood up tremblingly, at this moment Wang Yan also regretted dying, he knew that Sima Shu was so difficult to provoke, he said that he would not follow the Jia family to calculate the prince.

"Your Majesty has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Lord Wang, in front of Your Majesty, Niangniang, and the ministers, please tell me if your eldest daughter has any personal affairs with Lord Jia Mi? When the queen came to your house to say goodbye, was it your daughter or the second daughter? Did your Wang family make it clear to the queen? ”

"This, this, this ......" Wang Yan was sweating profusely, not knowing how to speak.

"Lord Wang, you have to think clearly, because if you are not careful, your Wang family will be guilty of defrauding the king!" Sima Shu's words were like the cold wind in winter, which made Wang Yan feel a chill to the bone.

"Your Royal Highness, don't listen to this nonsense, the daughter of the lower official has been raised in the deep boudoir since she was a child, and the door is not out of the second door, how can you have a personal relationship with this guy, please Your Highness be the master of the old minister, and return the daughter of the lower official to an innocent person!"

In the end, Wang Yan had to quickly clear up the relationship with Jia Mi for the fate of the family, and Wang Yan's original plan was to match his eldest daughter to the nephew of the queen of the dynasty, so as to keep the existing glory and wealth of the Wang family; The other youngest daughter was promised to the crown prince, which was to pave the way for the future of the Wang family.

But now it seems that this matter obviously offended the prince, in order not to leave a disaster for the Wang family in the future, Wang Yan said that he was not willing to marry the Jia family. Therefore, seeing the right time, he hurriedly stepped forward to show his heart to the prince. Wang Yan's words can be regarded as a conclusion for this matter.

"The queen is really sage, and Jia Mi is really a villain, but fortunately, the mother has already punished him. However, on the issue of the selection of the crown princess, Erchen still has a few words to say. ”

"Speak!"

Empress Jia can't wait to tear Sima Shu's mouth apart now, looking at his smug appearance, Empress Jia doesn't want to say a word at all.

"The crown princess will be the mother of the world in the future, and personal virtue is very important. It has just been proved by Lord Wang, and the ministers present all know that the eldest daughter of the Wang family has no personal relationship with Jia Mi at all. But people's words are terrifying, and it is inevitable that there will still be rumors and rumors in the future. Therefore, the palace believes that the daughter of the royal family is no longer suitable to become the crown princess. ”

"What!? Your Highness, Your Highness, just now Jia Mi said nonsense, the minister's daughter will never have any personal affairs with others! Your Highness, Your Highness, why do you want to cancel the marriage contract? "Wang Yan is in a hurry, he just offended the Jia family, if he can't catch the prince's line this time, his Wang family will die.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, the palace has already explained it clearly, even if the eldest daughter of the Zhongshu Ling family is innocent, it is not suitable to become the crown princess." For Wang Yan's wall-riding faction, Sima Shu doesn't have any good feelings.

"Is there a candidate for the crown prince?" Auxiliary Minister Zhang Hua asked.

"This palace thinks so, since Niangniang has already set the royal family, and the trouble is known to the whole dynasty, if this marriage can't be formed, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at the royal family's inability to do things, and then what is the face of the royal family? Therefore, the palace felt that it was better for the crown princess to choose from the Wang family. ”

"Does Your Highness mean to choose the youngest daughter of the lower official to enter the palace as the crown princess?" Wang Yan didn't expect that at the last moment, the prince threw another olive branch.

"Well, yes, that's what Hongu meant. At the same time, Lord Wang's eldest daughter will also be sent to the East Palace, so as to save the future because the palace is not easy to marry. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your great kindness!"

Wang Yan almost knelt down and kowtowed to Sima Shu, and everyone also praised the prince's benevolence. Only Empress Jia was bruised, but now that the overall situation has been decided, it is no longer something she can change. Sure enough, it didn't take long for His Majesty to issue an order to point out all the two daughters of the Wang family to the crown prince, and when the prince became an adult, he would hold a wedding for him.
