Chapter 772: Potential
After a long silence, Wan Dabao finally asked, "If the slave and maid don't obey, what will you do?" β
Pei Guifei smiled faintly, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, and glanced at the door.
Standing there was Gonggong Liu, who lowered his head and held his hands, standing very respectfully, only the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was plain and ruthless.
Wan Dabao has never looked down on Liu Xiaoxi, this kid can get the emperor's favor, isn't he good at speculation? What if he was in charge of the Imperial City Division? The emperor's most trusted person is still himself, and he can't fight no matter how much he fights.
But he never thought that Liu Xiaoxi didn't want to compete with him for the position of confidant at all, but chose the next master early.
"Niangniang, over the years, the slave has never treated you slowly, you really want to ......"
Before the words of pleading were finished, Wan Dabao himself was depressed first. How did he get naΓ―ve? This kind of thing has never been a river of blood, what is the life of a slave and maid? No matter how much he pleaded, the concubine would not let him go. Because his existence is an obstacle.
Either voted like Liu Xiaoxi, or ......
Pei Guifei didn't say a word, just stood there like that, cold and hard as a mountain.
This is something that Wan Dabao has never experienced.
The first time he saw Pei Guifei, she was still a young girl, bright and proud, like a blooming spring flower. Later, she was widowed and reunited with the newly ascended emperor, with a delicate and delicate that had just been devastated by the wind and rain. Then she entered the palace as a concubine, and for more than 20 years, I have seen her noble, demure, stern, and kind...... Only I have never seen such a crushing silence.
Wan Dabao even had a feeling that such a noble concubine made him more afraid than the emperor himself.
He wanted to be like the loyal servant sung in the play, and angrily denounced her scheming and audacity to the concubine, but ......
Under the gaze of the concubine, Wan Dabao's waist fell little by little.
"Slave maid......" he said with tears in his eyes, "I want to accompany Your Majesty on his last journey." β
Concubine Pei finally spoke, her voice soft and soft: "The loyalty of Father-in-law Wan is known in the palace. Go back, these medicines, someone will look at them, just stay with Your Majesty. β
"Xie Niangniang."
Wan Dabao wiped away the tears on his face, straightened his clothes, and stepped out of the tea room.
β¦β¦
No one expected that Guo Xu would say such righteous and stern words, so that the entire court was shocked.
This is Guo Xu, that Guo Xu, who has no principles and knows how to drill camps, what is he talking about?
Looking at his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, why is it so strange?
However, what he said was very reasonable.
Isn't the reason why there is a dispute over who should be the reserve, because both candidates have obvious flaws?
King An has a good temperament, but he has no talent in government affairs, he is easy to get confused, and now he has a leg injury. The four princes are too young and not smart, and once the imperial power falls, it is a question of whether it can be taken back.
No matter who you set up, it's a little difficult to settle.
The big victory in the Northwest a few years ago gradually revived the unity of many people.
The death of Tang Jing, the acting prince of Southern Chu last year, further fueled their ambitions.
Perhaps, the time has really come to dominate the world?
At this time, whether it is King An or the fourth prince, they always feel that it is difficult to take on such a big responsibility......
"The lower official seconded the proposal." The first person to respond to the peace came out, "Guo Xiang's words are really like an initiation." I believe that Emperor Taizu has a spirit and will definitely support it. Whether it is King An, the fourth prince, or the king of Yue, they are all Jiang bloodline, the descendants of Taizu, and whoever succeeds to the throne is the same. If Daqi can really dominate the world, this is the foundation of eternity! β
"Not bad! Xia Guan also agreed! β
With the first, there is the second.
I don't know how Fu Jin operated, but he had already attracted a group of courtiers, and these people would naturally speak for Yang Shu.
And the neutral ones, there are also many people who are impressed.
If you can really dominate the world and achieve great things......
"Humph!" A cold snort sounded, and Zhang Qi finally spoke, "This is the first time that I know that Guo Xiang's eloquence is so good, and it seems that as soon as King Yue succeeds to the throne, he will be able to dominate the world immediately. β
Guo Xu, who had always been respectful in front of him, did not back down at all at this time, and said proudly: "I don't even dare to look forward to the future, how to control the giant ship of the country?" The common people still have to take one step and see three steps, and we will assist the king in governing the country, so we will naturally have to plan for ten or twenty years. β
Zhang Qi said lightly: "Since Guo Xiang said that ten or twenty years, that Xiang also has a doubt. The saint set up a nephew and abandoned his parent, this opening has been opened, what will he do in the future? Is the inheritance of the eldest also going to be changed? β
The inheritance of the elder is the foundation of etiquette, and naturally it cannot be changed. If this is changed, the current set of rules will be shattered, and the world will be chaotic.
Guo Xu said with a smile: "Look at what Zhang Xiang said, where is this matter related to the inheritance of the eldest son?" Previously, the eldest prince and the second prince were convicted, and the saint ordered King An to govern, who has any objections? The young and the old are orderly, as a matter of course! Isn't it now that something happened to King An, and it's not good to succeed to the throne? How can you stick to the rules and don't know how to be flexible? β
Zhang Qi knew in his heart that Guo Xu was prepared. I don't know how long he has been pondering in his heart, just to overwhelm himself today.
Zhang Qi is not a person who is good at talking. The White Tiger Star Officer has always been a military general, and this is also his background. Arguing with Guo Xu, who is well-read, is simply attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings.
He looked at them one by one.
Those who are obviously on the side of King Yue, plus those who were moved by Guo Xu's words, are close to half.
When has it been so deep-rooted? It's momentum.
"If Zhang Xiang has no objections, why don't you just decide?" Guo Xu is aggressive.
Zhang Qi said: "Guo Xiang is too anxious, right?" Say a few words, it's about to be decided? β
"Isn't there a consensus?" Guo Xu smiled, "I see that everyone has no objection!" β
Who's to say no? It's just that no one came out to argue for a while, why did he talk to himself like this!
The official under Zhang Qi shouted: "The subordinate does not agree! If there is a child in the saint, it should not be set up separately. The rules cannot be broken, and the four princes must be established! β
"Not bad! is that King An is not successful, and there are four princes and five princes. How can there be a parent and a child, but there is a reason for a nephew and grandnephew. You say it high-soundingly, but it's a bad etiquette! β
Guo Xu's face did not change: "Only the two of you are against it, and most of the people agree with the true appearance!" β
"Who said that? Has Guo Xiang counted? Obviously, there are many people who oppose it. β
"Not bad! Guo Xiang, don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, it's a big deal that we'll count now! β
Zhang Qi listened to these words, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate.
According to a rough estimate, his own number is still slightly superior, but Guo Xu's words obviously have a sense of provocation. Could it be that this is already planned?
If so, he will have to take a salary.
