Chapter 50
Thinking that he hadn't met with the important ministers of the court for a long time, Mo Shining deliberately arrived half an hour early to prepare to negotiate with a few close ministers, and by the way, he inquired about the direction of the court.
Unexpectedly, several important ministers who were close to him in the past couldn't help but smile and say hello when they saw him, and Mo Shining immediately became displeased, but he couldn't say anything, and when the chief eunuch reported that His Majesty had arrived, he could only stand in front of the courtiers with his heart and didn't dare to breathe.
When Ji Yuchen saw the king of Xiyue, he thought of Ling'er's hardships when he was young, all thanks to this person, frowned slightly, and then turned to the ministers to ask about the candidates for the king;
Prime Minister Wei Yan immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the candidate for the title of king this time should choose a son from the Rui Wangfu; Rui Wang is His Majesty's biological father, and the first emperor Chan is located in His Majesty, and it stands to reason that Rui Wang should be the regent; however, the first emperor was worried that His Majesty was already in his prime, so he did not add the title of Rui Wang, and this time the king should really be enthroned in the Rui Palace. The minister heard that the youngest concubine of the King of Rui had also reached the age of the crown, and his body was sick and weak all the year round, and he was very much loved by the King of Rui; if he had not rewarded this prince this time, he would have rewarded the palace of the King of Rui, and the people of the world could also see His Majesty's benevolent heart. ”
When the ministers heard this, they all secretly scolded the prime minister in their hearts for being worthy of being a patriarch, he was really an old fox, and he figured out that his intention was so accurate; Wei Yan's performance not only gave King Rui enough face, but also heard that it was unknown how many years this concubine could live in bed all year round, even if he was named a prince, he probably wouldn't be able to open a mansion and live in another place, let alone participate in court politics. Such a prince who has neither real power nor fiefdom marries the queen of Xiyue, but I am afraid that the king of Xiyue will not have a light on his face, let alone the queen of Xiyue;
At that moment, the ministers looked at Mo Shining, the king of Xiyue, and saw that his face suddenly turned red and white but did not say a word, and they also saw His Majesty's disgust; although the martial monarch whom His Majesty loved was his concubine, he heard that the monarch did not care about him at all. Think about it, that monarch almost died in the cold palace because of the confusion of the king of Xiyue, if it were not for the prince's kind thoughts, how could he have achieved today;
A few courtiers who felt that Wei Yan's performance was inappropriate wanted to come out to oppose it, but they quietly looked up and saw the appreciation on His Majesty's face.
Ji Yuchen was very satisfied with Wei Yan's knowledge of current affairs, and asked the ministers to see that there was no objection, and immediately issued an order to reward Ji Muyu, the third son of King Rui's mansion, as the prince, and marry Ji Mo Ziyao, the king of Xiyue, after the emperor's wedding.
King Rui came out to thank Ji Muyu on behalf of him, and Ji Yuchen instructed him a few words, saying that the younger brother was weak and did not need to act according to the prince's etiquette, so that King Rui could simply prepare for marriage, and then marry Wang Ji from the Xiyue Post House.
After discussing the matter of sealing the king, Ji Yuchen mentioned the wedding of the emperor, thinking that the other three princes and kings should come to the royal capital in the near future, and several princes and kings have made meritorious contributions to the Dayue frontier for many years, and instructed the Ministry of Rites to arrange the greeting matters, and not to be slow;
Fengchang Li Liang saw that Emperor Chen mentioned the monarch of Wujun, so he stepped forward to ask: King Chaxiyue is in the royal capital, and whether he will discuss with the king of Xiyue after marrying the monarch of Wujun as the emperor and queen for six ceremonies.
Mo Shining's face was flushed with joy when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Emperor Chen: "No need. The monarch of Wujun was originally the monarch of Beifeng, and he had nothing to do with the king of Xiyue, so he could discuss the matter of marriage with Beifeng Sima, or discuss with Dasi Nong. ”
Mo Shining was stunned on the ground, his face changed back and forth as if he had opened a dye shop, and the corners of his mouth trembled but he couldn't say a word.
The matter of the discussion has been arranged, Ji Yuchen glanced at the eunuch, the eunuch stepped forward to announce his retreat from the court, and the ministers walked out of the palace; the eunuch caught up with Mo Zilan and Zhao Shuo and invited them to go to the imperial study, Han Fang watched the three of them leave and stood in place for a long time without moving. He didn't know the news that Ah Ling was coming to the royal capital, and he was about to ask Mo Zilan if Ah Ling wanted to live in Dasi Nong's Mansion when he came, but he needed his own help······
Han Fang really didn't know why it became like this, Ah Ling also watched him grow up, he always thought that he knew her very well, even if Ah Ling couldn't respond to his feelings, it wouldn't cut off the news exchange; he had never put any thought into girls, Ah Ling was the only thing he was worried about, but now even she came to the king to know the news from others, Han Fang really couldn't accept such a change, and was eager to find the reason; suddenly thought of Mo Ziyao, who lived in Dasi Nong's Mansion, and immediately walked to Mo Zilan's mansion.
Let's say that Mo Zilan and Zhao Shuo went to the imperial study, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Emperor Chen sitting on the big kang near the window, with breakfast on the table in front of him, thinking that he wanted to eat with the two of them.
After saluting, the two sat opposite Emperor Chen, and when they saw him raising the chopstick, they also ate it, and they were speechless for a while.
After the palace maid removed the table, the bowl brought the tea, and Emperor Chen took a sip and asked, "Zhao Shizi, is the Beifeng Post House all arranged?"
Zhao Shuo hurriedly got up and replied, seeing him like this, Ji Yuchen waved his hand: "Calling you here today is just gossip, there is no need to be so polite." The two of you can be regarded as the closest people to Ah Ling, and it is not comfortable for Ah Ling to know so much, so we don't need to worry so much about talking in private in the future. ”
The two of them looked at each other and responded, but they couldn't really ignore the etiquette, although Emperor Chen treated them favorably because of Ah Ling, they couldn't really make an inch of progress and provoke criticism for Ah Ling.
"Zilan, I didn't mean to embarrass King Xiyue at the court meeting today. Ling'er must also understand that she really doesn't want to have anything to do with King Xiyue, and since you are Ling'er's brother, her marriage can be discussed with you. ”
Mo Zilan responded gloomily.
"This time Ling'er should be able to stay in the king for a few more days, I thought that Zilan's mansion still lived in Xiyue King and Mo Ziyao, and I didn't want to meet them when I came to Ling'er, so I arranged for her to live in the Beifeng Post House; Ling'er herself should bring the guards here, I thought about her after all, she is an upstart, I am afraid that there will be no fewer people who go to disturb her, Zhao Shizi, you borrow some people from Su Shizi to defend the Beifeng Post House, if Ling'er does not want to see the people, you will arrange for someone to refuse. If Ling'er herself is afraid that this matter will be settled, she will tell the truth that she is not close to people because of her high merit, so she has to bother you to arrange the Praetorian Guard, so that the world will think that it is my intention. ”
The two of them hurriedly responded, and after a few more words, they withdrew.
On the way, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but chuckle: "I didn't expect our majesty to be so jealous!"
Mo Zilan pondered for a moment and worried Zhong Zhong: "It is said that Your Majesty loves Ah Ling so much, and I should be happy as a brother, but I didn't expect Your Majesty's monopoly to be so heavy, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse······
Zhao Shuo also thought about it when he heard this, and the two looked at each other and left the palace with a sigh.
