Chapter 1613: Strife

For those officials who have just taken refuge in them, this meeting is not just a meeting, although they are willing or forced to take refuge in the little princess, but they do not have much confidence in the future of the little princess and their own future, after all, they don't know what the power of the little princess is, and it is inevitable to worry. However, after this meeting, their worries were greatly reduced.

More than a dozen middle-class officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, among them, there are also court bigwigs like the Ministry of War, Shangshu Wan Huojing, and the Ministry of Officials, it can be said that the current group of people, in the court, is not as powerful as other princes competing for the throne, not to mention that the little princess is still a direct descendant of the royal family, and her natural status is higher than those princes.

In this way, the situation is much better than the officials expected, and of course their confidence has been greatly increased. Seeing that those officials calmed down, Zeng Yi and Wan Huojing talked to these people kindly, this is also to make these more reassuring, after chatting for a while, Wan Huojing said with a smile: "Colleagues, I understand your previous worries, after all, everyone doesn't know our strength, and many people are forced to join in, here I will accompany you on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Saying that, Wan Huojing bowed to everyone, and everyone hurriedly returned the salute, and the servant of the ministry said: "Lord Wan, you are now outside, no matter what happened before, now we are willing to assist Her Royal Highness the Princess, and everyone should not mention the previous things!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wan, they are all their own people, let him pass everything when the matter is over."

"Yes, we are all willing!" Everyone hurriedly chimed in.

Zeng Yi also said at this time: "Okay, the previous things, no one will mention them in the future, now we are all our own people, here I will also convey the princess's message, Her Royal Highness the princess asked me to tell everyone that she will not forget everyone's credit!" ”

"I'm waiting to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, anyway, everyone is getting along very harmoniously now, eliminating everyone's mustard, and everyone has also discussed future countermeasures. Some people have begun to propose that everyone play together to pardon the little princess and welcome the little princess back to Beijing on the grounds that they are the only direct descendants of the royal family. In this way, the little princess can be active in the capital in a bright and bright way.

If you don't know the emperor's real intentions, these people's proposals are really likely to succeed, after all, so many officials play together, and the little princess is really the last direct descendant of the royal family, and the emperor is very likely to agree to everyone's performance for the sake of the royal inheritance. But Zeng Yi knew the emperor's plan, the old guy was still working hard, waiting to take the elixir of immortality, and no matter how bad it was, he was ready to give birth to a successor, at this stage, it was absolutely impossible to let the little princess, the royal family member who almost usurped his throne at that time, return to the capital.

"Everyone's proposal is very good, but now is not the time for the little princess to be exposed, King Xing and Her Royal Highness the princess, rebelled twice, the mustard in the emperor's heart will not disappear so easily, and now although the emperor is old, he still does not give up, at present, we still need to forbear, and still assist the prince on the surface!"

"But, do you just look at those three sons and make a name for themselves in the capital?"

"It's up to everyone, nominally to assist this son, everyone has to do something, in this case, then what you will do for it in the future will focus on hitting the reputation of the other two sons, the three of them attack each other, their reputation is not much better!"

Zeng Yi said a few words to Wan Huojing, and everyone gave up the idea of letting the little princess appear for the time being.

After that, everyone discussed it, and continued to win over the court officials, and finally decided to focus on the middle-level officials of the ministries, after all, the bigwigs of the ministries now have supporters, and they easily feel that they will not jump ship, and now the court is on the surface, it is necessary to maintain a balance, if the six bigwigs are all biased to one side, it is estimated that others will not do it, and the emperor Lao'er will also do it, he is now a cold bystander, but it will not really let people threaten his position!

......

After Zeng Yi left, everyone present returned to their previous state, sitting at the wine table and drinking small wine, and those officials who were really poured on the wine table also began to wake up one after another, after waking up, watching the banquet still continue, those officials, just said that the wine was strong, and the others did not have any suspicions, and even many people and the people next to them continued to drink.

Soon the official Shangshu and the prince also woke up, "Oh, you look at my drinking, I actually fell asleep in front of all the adults, I really shouldn't be, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

"The son of the world is his true temperament, and he treats us as his own, how can we meet and forgive!"

That Shizi didn't doubt it, after all, he drank a lot of wine, and he thought that he couldn't drink enough, but the official department was not so easy to fool, this guy knew his own amount of alcohol very well, frowned and said quietly with Wan Huojing beside him: "Lord Wan, didn't you send anything?" There's something wrong with this wine! Supposedly, with the amount of alcohol I drink, I shouldn't get drunk after drinking that little! ”

"It's nothing, it's the fault of those subordinates, you also know that the prince just bought this place not long ago, many of those subordinates are not very familiar with this mansion, and when they take the wine, they take it into spirits, not to mention you, even I am a little dizzy!"

"I see, it's good if there's nothing to do!" Although the official department is cautious, it is a pity that all the people here are people from the pro-military governor's mansion, even the Wan Huojing he asked, his caution can only be vain care.

This banquet caused a lot of shock in the imperial court, a party, and completely put the battle for succession on the table, and even the emperor Lao'er euphemistically asked Wan Huojing and the Ministry of Shangshu what they meant, for the emperor's inquiry, the two had already discussed countermeasures, and did not conceal it, and the prince invited everyone to contact the feelings, and the emperor confessed, the emperor was very satisfied, for him, as long as it was still under control, it was fine.

For the other two sons who are interested in winning the heir, it is very uncomfortable, and the two of them have followed the same example, invited people who support them, and came to a meeting of the same specifications. It can be said that all the attention of the imperial court is on those princes, and the real purpose of Zeng Yi and others is not known at all. Even the six doors of the East Factory Jinyi Guard, because the banquet was so open, did not doubt it at all, in fact, there were many secrets behind the banquet.
