Chapter 44: Deliberation (1st Update)

As expected by Old Man Gu and Prince Shan, after Prince Good left, the emperor pondered and pondered, and he really figured out that it is not impossible to change people, except for Gu Qingyan of the Gu family, who should he change? Chu Chen can't do it, what about Chu Yan?

As a member of the An family, it is naturally impossible to support other princes, and the An family will naturally support the Chu Yan produced by the queen. If An Huajin is asked to marry Chu Yan, will the little girl insist on recruiting a son-in-law to inherit the lintel of the An family?

In the past, he had no intention of passing on the throne to Chu Yan, afraid that one day, he would become an An family in this world, but now, after Zhang Zaifu's case, he understands that the An family has no antipathy, if he has an antipathy, he has been bullied so much over the years, and he would have rebelled a long time ago.

In addition to feeling guilty, he felt more and more that this matter was feasible.

Thoughts together, like a spark, but overnight, can burn the prairie fire.

There was still an hour before the early dynasty, and the emperor couldn't sleep, so he got up early and instructed Gonggong Zhang, "Swing and go to the queen's palace." ”

Gonggong Zhang was stunned for a moment, saw the emperor's thick dark circles, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, you didn't sleep well yesterday?" Why did you wake up so early? I'm afraid the queen is still asleep at this time, what's the matter with you, do you want to talk to the queen mother after the next court? ”

"I can't wait, I'll go." The emperor waved his hand.

Gonggong Zhang was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare for the car, and hurriedly sent someone to Fengqi Palace to spread the word so that the people from Fengqi Palace could prepare to take over.

In Fengqi Palace, the queen can be said to have eaten well and slept well in the past two days, since she entered the palace for 20 years, there has been no time when she has been more comfortable than the recent days, and she is not in a good mood these days.

No matter what reason the emperor suddenly gave the death of Concubine Shu and the second prince, it was a good thing for her and the seventh prince. Zhang Zaifu's power is too great, and Concubine Shu and the second prince are too favored by His Majesty. It is equivalent to pushing away the mountain that stood in front of the Seven Princes at once.

The rest of the princes, although they are also powerful behind their backs, but compared with the second prince, they are a little worse, and they are still easy to deal with.

She felt that Xiao An'er was really a lucky star.

She was called up in a daze, hurriedly freshened up, and before she could completely clean herself up, the emperor's imperial chariot entered the Fengqi Palace, and she could only hurriedly go out to pick up the car.

The emperor got off the imperial chariot and stretched out his hand to help the queen, his eyebrows and eyes were very gentle, "I shouldn't have come to disturb you so early, but there is one thing, I really thought it was feasible, so I couldn't help it, and came to discuss with you." ”

Seeing the emperor's attitude, the queen speculated in her heart, but she smiled in her mouth, "What did Your Majesty say?" When you come, don't bother. ”

The emperor took the queen's hand and entered the inner hall, sat down, waved away the waiters, leaving only Gonggong Zhang and Mama He to wait, and then said, "I think about it, the princes are old, and it is time to appoint the prince." ”

The queen's heart tightened, the smile on her face did not move, and she glanced at the emperor with disgust, "Your Majesty, you should discuss the matter of establishing the crown prince with the courtiers, how can you casually talk to the concubines?" ”

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, she always remembers it.

The Emperor smiled and said, "I want to tell you first. ”

The queen looked at the emperor without speaking, and seemed very helpless, "Then Your Majesty, please speak, and the concubines just listen." ”

She is always cautious and cautious, saying that she can listen to it and not express her opinion.

"You!" The emperor was very satisfied with the empress's this, smiled and patted her hand and said, "I didn't set the crown prince earlier, because I felt that the emperor had not grown up, and during this period, I had to be tested, after all, the ancestors' inheritance was passed on, and there was no room for mistakes." ”

The queen nodded, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, who doesn't understand whom, she doesn't say that the emperor didn't want to set up Chu Yan's mind earlier, she just felt at ease to be a listener.

"Now after the case of Zhang Zaifu, I have thought a lot in recent days, in this case, the Seventh Prince performed the best, did not take the opportunity to suppress his brothers, enforced the law impartially, had outstanding ability, looked calm and atmospheric, and handled things very safely. If the Great Chu is handed over to him, I should be able to rest assured in the next hundred years. The Emperor said as he looked at the Empress's face.

The queen was naturally surprised and happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show anything on her face, and continued to be silent.

The emperor looked at her, thinking that after saying this, she would be able to give a response, but he didn't expect that there was no expression. He was a little silent for a while, which prince didn't want to sit in the chair under him? What prince's mother doesn't want to support her son to succeed to the throne? Doesn't the queen want to? Impossible. So why doesn't she look happy now? Shouldn't you be flattered?

The emperor stared at the empress for a long time, and seeing that she was still silent, he couldn't help but shout, "Empress? ”

The queen blinked, "You go on, the concubine listens." ”

Emperor: "......"

He looked at the queen, "I said that I want to make the Seventh Prince the crown prince, don't you say something?" ”

The queen lowered her head and said calmly, "Who Your Majesty appoints as the crown prince is a matter for Your Majesty and the courtiers to discuss." If His Majesty thinks that the Seventh Prince is suitable and worthy of a great responsibility, then he is worthy of a great responsibility. ”

The emperor was speechless for a while, this is like if you have a peerless good thing in your hand, you think everyone is worried about it, one day you bring it out to people, people are not ecstatic and kneeling down to thank you, you always feel like you wonder if this thing has depreciated and is worthless.

The emperor was a little uncomfortable at this time, but he could only hold back, "What you said also makes sense, I should discuss this matter with the courtiers before it can be decided." ”

The queen nodded.

The emperor took a deep breath, then put aside the prefix, changed the topic, and only then did he talk about what he thought was more important, "I feel that the plan to let the An family and the Gu family marry back then may be something I made and should not be forced. ”

The queen's heart suddenly lifted, and then there was a big reaction, "Your Majesty means ......"

The emperor suddenly felt a little tightness in his chest, and wanted to make her son the prince, but she didn't react, but now when it comes to Angu's marriage, she has reacted greatly. What a queen this is! Does she remember that she should fight for her son's throne?

The emperor couldn't say what he felt at this time, "I want to cancel the marriage contract between Xiao An'er and Gu Qingyan. ”

The queen's face changed, "Why did Your Majesty have this idea?" ”

The queen threw out another hammer, "I want Xiao An'er to marry the Seventh Prince, and after establishing the prince, she will be the crown princess." Do you understand what I mean? ”

Queen: "......"

She stood up and looked at the emperor in disbelief, suspecting that she had misheard, and her eyes widened at the boss. After a long while, she asked in shock, "Your Majesty, for ...... What the? ”

"Naturally, it is for the sake of the Great Chu River, and also for the stability of the Anjia and Nanyang Army for a hundred years, in the future, after a hundred years, Chu Yan and Xiao An'er will work together to protect the Great Chu River." The Emperor said bluntly, "I think it's very good, what do you think?" ”

Queen: "......"

She was so stunned that she never thought of letting her niece marry her son. His Majesty didn't have this idea before, and naturally she didn't have it. But now, what did she hear with her own ears what His Majesty said? What made His Majesty change his mind?

"Don't be stupid, what do I ask you?" The emperor was a little dissatisfied with the empress's attitude.

The queen's mind spun around for a few moments before all her thoughts returned to their place, and she sat down slowly, and said, "Your Majesty said this suddenly, it was too sudden. The concubine felt that this matter needed to be considered in the long run. ”

The emperor frowned, "You don't agree?" ”

"It's not that I disagree." The queen pondered and said her thoughts, "Gu Qigongzi and Xiao An'er have been getting along very well recently because of His Majesty's will. If the marriage contract is canceled, not to mention whether my father and Old Man Gu agree together, can the two of them agree? ”

That day, she mentioned changing the choice of the Gu family, and the two of them looked wrong everywhere, let alone simply changed their relatives.

When the Emperor listened to the Empress's words, he suddenly felt that this was indeed a difficult problem, a problem that he had been ignoring by his own excitement. Originally, the marriage of Angu was promoted by him single-handedly, but now that it is to be canceled, it really has to be handled properly.

Back then, he could see that the Gu family didn't want to marry the An family, and it was said that Gu Qingyan heard that he was married at the age of ten, and he didn't talk to Old Man Gu for a month. Later, he did not strongly object and admitted to this family business.

Now eight years have passed, the two of them look at each other in the peach garden, and they are quite successful, Gu Qingyan also painted a "Beauty Picture" for An Huajin with his own hands, which shows that he is very satisfied.

If it weren't for An Huajin's words about recruiting sons-in-law, he would have ordered them to get married on a six-ceremony date. will not wait until now, he wants to make the family regret the marriage.

He was afraid that Gu Qingyan had already fallen on An Huajin under his promotion, and he didn't want to regret it, so if he forcibly canceled An Gu's marriage contract, wouldn't he be cheating Gu Qingyan?

The top-notch descendants of the new generation of the Gu family cheated him, which is equivalent to trapping the whole Gu family, right?

The Emperor's excitement disappeared at once, and he said to the Empress, "You are thinking about it very much. ”
