Chapter 250: Three Checks and Balances
Prime Minister Li Cheng's words were scorching, and he swore to resist this suggestion.
"If the emperor keeps thinking about the matter of that fee, it will make the people think that the monarch is a greedy and lustful person, and then the civil strife in the country can you afford it?"
He looked at Taifu coldly, thinking in his heart that this old man was against him. Knowing that the most favored person is Concubine Xi today, he actually made this kind of suggestion.
"Prime Minister Li said this, his selfishness is too heavy, do you want your daughter to take the opportunity to win the back seat when the queen mother goes out?"
Taifu has always been worthy of everything he does, so he has never tried to please anyone for his personal relationship. After listening to Prime Minister Li Cheng's words, he felt that the other party was very excessive.
Who in this world doesn't know that now that Li Ruoxi is pregnant with a dragon son, it is the time to be favored by His Majesty. He has always opposed the emperor's continued acceptance of concubines, isn't he afraid that his daughter's position will be endangered at that time?
"Mrs. Su, this is a bad word. In this way, the old minister also thinks that you suggested taking a concubine in order to send your daughter to the palace. ”
Prime Minister Li Cheng looked disdainful, thinking that the other party had also gone through several twists and turns, all for the sake of his daughter.
Indeed, there is a little girl in Taifu's family, and I heard that her appearance and appearance are all in the capital, and if she is compared with Li Ruoxi, she will not be inferior at all. It's just that he rarely shows his head.
However, the sons in the capital have all gone to the Taifu Mansion to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by this young lady.
Now that Taifu suddenly wants to promote the emperor's draft, how can it not arouse suspicion?
"Hmph, Lao Chen's daughter happens to be in the draft, why can't she participate? If I can be blessed to be able to enter the eyes of the emperor, it is my blessing! ”
Taifu looked straightforward and did not evade this topic at all. And Yan Miaoyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, just felt a terrible headache, and didn't know when he would be able to stop arguing.
Whether you want to take a concubine or not is just a matter for the emperor alone, but now that the family affairs have been discussed in front of so many people by these ministers, Yan Miaoyu has already trembled with anger.
"You all shut up for me, is it possible that you decide whether I want the draft or not now? Have you ever considered my thoughts? ”
Yan Miaoyu looked angry and looked very angry
Angry, Taishi Wu immediately knelt down.
"Please calm your anger."
This is the emperor's teacher, and he has a very high position in the court. He had already knelt down, and the other ministers also knelt down one after another.
After Li Chengxiang and Mrs. Su glanced at each other, they both snorted coldly and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
The hall was full of voices echoing with the same voices of the ministers, Yan Miaoyu just felt ridiculous, and these people changed their faces very quickly.
However, in fact, the draft has always been on his mind. Now that Li Ruoxi is pregnant with a dragon son, Prime Minister Li's status will become higher and higher, and he has begun to have no one in his sights.
If you don't hurry up to find someone who can involve his power, the prime minister will become more and more arrogant and difficult to discipline.
"There is a decision in the revitalization of this matter, and there is no need for you to continue to discuss it. After the Taifu and Taishi went down to the court, they went to the imperial study to look for me. I have something to discuss with you. ”
Yan Miaoyu's voice was cold, he stood up and walked away.
Gonggong Li hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!" ”
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
When the emperor's figure finally disappeared above the court, Prime Minister Li looked at Soho with disdain, flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Other officials also hurriedly caught up with the prime minister and patted their ass.
Taifu snorted coldly and shook his head helplessly.
"Relying on his daughter's status in the harem is becoming more and more presumptuous, and now even the emperor I don't think he cares about him."
"Taifu, let's go to the pre-imperial study as soon as possible!"
At this time, in the imperial study, Yan Miaoyu rubbed his forehead and sat helplessly at the table. Next to her was a woman who poured a cup of hot tea and put it on the table.
Yan Miaoyu kept rubbing her temples, thinking about the draft.
Now the Li family is too much, if you don't dare to restrain him, the world is about to change your surname.
After all, Nan Anzhuo's family is the former prime minister who has made mistakes, and now her family not only can't take advantage of the situation, Nan Chongming still has a lot of questions that have not been solved.
While he was thinking about it, the Taifu and Taishi outside walked in and knelt on the ground.
"See Your Majesty."
"Two big
Hurry up, sit down, let's talk. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."
The two of them sat directly on the ground and sat opposite Yan Miaoyu.
"Presumably, the two adults can also guess why I came to you this time, in fact, Taifu's words are very correct, you can't just pet one person in this harem, and the matter of this draft must indeed be put on the agenda."
He looked at Taifu with a smile, and then said, "It's just that this is very distressing, and I don't know what kind of woman to let into the palace be the most suitable candidate." ”
Master Wu lowered his head and smiled for a while before he slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, Su Xiaoqin, the youngest daughter of Taifu, is proficient in calligraphy and painting, both in appearance and talent, and is believed to be the most powerful, and was selected to serve the emperor in the palace. Moreover, Taifu's character is obvious to all, and I believe that in the future, we will be able to assist His Majesty in governing the world. ”
Taifu actually didn't want his daughter to enter the palace in his heart, there are many rights and wrongs in this harem, how could he not know that his daughter is the pearl of the palm raised from childhood to adulthood after all, and he is reluctant to let her suffer this.
But when arguing in the court today, the words had already been spoken, and now he couldn't refuse.
"If the little girl has this honor and can serve Your Majesty, it will be the glory of our Su family."
Yan Miaoyu didn't say anything, frowned and said, "What about the other than Su Xiao?" ”
Taishi didn't answer, but had some questions in his heart. Could it be that His Majesty didn't take a fancy to this woman at all?
After a while, he continued: "Jiang Lanlan, the daughter of the new general, is also a woman with both ability and political integrity. The minister also met by chance once, and he felt that it was also very suitable to attack and serve His Majesty. ”
Yan Miaoyu nodded, chuckled and did not speak.
He knew that he was getting farther and farther away from the promise he had made to Nan Anzhuo, and he had no choice but to have more and more concubines in the harem.
The reason why he didn't designate the daughter of the Taifu just now was because he didn't want him to become like the prime minister.
If you can marry two concubines at once, so that the three families will check and balance, and it will be him Yan Miaoyu who will benefit in the end.
"I'll think about it, so you can step back first."
"The minister retired."
