The emperor listened to the words there: "Is this so? What should I do about this matter? Tell me about it."

Gonggong Chen thought for a while and said: "Now that there are many people in the court who advocate letting the eldest prince come out to preside over the government, has the emperor considered this matter?" ”

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "He's ...... He still needs to learn and experience, he can't inherit my country with such a temperament, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public in the future, even if I inherited the legacy of the first emperor, the difficulties are unimaginable. If it weren't for the help of a few old ministers, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been so smooth to be a stable country, now the prince only has an empty appearance, his strength is insufficient, and there are not a few old ministers around him who really assist him, so I can't rest assured that the country will be in his hands! ”

Only then did Gonggong Chen understand what the emperor meant, it turned out that the emperor wanted to train Governor Xia as a courtier to assist the new emperor! After thinking about it, in that way:

"The emperor's governor Xia is an honest and honest official, and he is a good person, but he is only loyal to the emperor, will he be willing to let him assist others?"

"Then why is it unwilling, by then I have abdicated, the new emperor is the emperor, what can he do if he doesn't assist?

Gonggong Chen shook his head in his heart for some reason, with what the eldest prince did to Governor Xia, this governor can't seriously assist him, not to mention that people are sick again now, and they can't handle the government for the emperor!

He said cautiously there: "Your Majesty, judging from Governor Xia's current condition, I'm afraid this matter will not be possible, and the miscellaneous family will see that Governor Xia's illness this time is very dangerous, can you talk about it, Your Majesty, look at Xia Xiangye...... How is he? “

When the emperor heard this, he was anxious: "Governor Xia can't get better?" Tomorrow, you go and get a few imperial doctors to take a look, he can't die, I still need him."

Gonggong Chen thought that Governor Xia was so important in the emperor's heart, so he hurriedly nodded, "The emperor will go tomorrow, maybe the miscellaneous family guessed wrong, and he will know when the imperial doctor sees it."

The emperor sighed there, "Do you know why I trust Governor Xia so much? ”

"Slaves don't know"

"Because he has a characteristic like you, that is, he can be my eyes, and no matter what he sees, he will give me back the truth, unlike some people who deceive and hide their subordinates and are really hateful."

Gonggong Chen said there: "Thank you for the emperor's praise"

The emperor continued: "Xia Xiangye, he can't do it, anyone can do it, he can't do it"

Gonggong Chen wanted to continue the above topic and mention Xia Xiangye again, but he didn't expect the emperor to hear it, and he actually refused to say it simply, which made people listen to the tone and not be so friendly, his heart sank, could it be that the emperor has an opinion on Xia Xiangye, but as usual, the emperor is not bad to Xia Xiangye! Is it all superficial? It seems that his night pearl is about to be ruined, but he has to fight for it anyway, and after thinking about it:

"Your Majesty, do you see if the eldest prince has reached the age of marrying a concubine, if you marry a concubine to the eldest prince at this time, will you be able to have the full support of the courtiers, and then you will be linked to the power of the concubines' families, then there will really be courtiers who support him without complaints."

Gonggong Chen breathed a sigh of relief after saying this, no matter what the result is, he is finally worthy of Xia Xiang entrusting him, and today is also a hurry to talk about this, otherwise it is really difficult to say it usually.

However, judging from the emperor's attitude towards Xia Xiang just now, it is really difficult for this thing to be done.

If it's the summer governor? Then the result may be different, and with the emperor's current mood, this may be possible without saying.

However, Chen Gonggong can't say this, how can he be worthy of the night pearl.

The emperor nodded there, he was also thinking about this these days, but he didn't want to set the prince like this, the prince must feel that he was getting old, so the eldest prince didn't ask for it, and he didn't marry him so quickly.

Now when I hear the people around me mention it, I have to say: "You spread this word to the queen's ears!" Let her decide for herself first, and I won't mess with the mandarin duck score.

Grandpa Chen also wants to recommend the eldest lady of Xia Xiangye's family! Unexpectedly, the emperor sealed his mouth now, and said there: "What the emperor said is for the good of the eldest prince, how can it be said that it is a mess of mandarin duck scores!" Queen She ...... Regardless of the court, the miscellaneous family is afraid of her......"

The emperor said: "Whether she is afraid or not is her own choice, and what will happen in the future is also her own choice"

Gonggong Chen always felt that it was not a taste when he heard the emperor's words, it stands to reason that the emperor is such an adult prince as the eldest prince, and he should be full of hope! Or did what the eldest prince did last time make the emperor sad, and the emperor thought so? He didn't dare to defend himself when he heard the emperor say this, so he had to say: "Yes"

……

Early the next morning, Xia Xiangye heard that the queen mother was helping the eldest prince choose a concubine.

Before he went to the court, he asked his subordinates to take his prayer post to meet several old ministers in the court.

As soon as the early dynasty arrived, some courtiers proposed to the emperor the matter of choosing a concubine for the eldest prince.

Although the emperor knew it, he still said: "I have handed this matter into the hands of the queen, let her choose by herself, if the courtiers have a good candidate in their hearts, they can write to the queen."

All the ministers understood this matter, that is, the emperor didn't care about it, and the queen would choose whoever she liked.

Xia Xiang had planned to let the courtiers recommend his daughter, but he didn't expect that the courtiers just said that the emperor had sealed his mouth, and he unconsciously looked back at Wang Yuan, the secretary of Dali Temple not far from him, he is the queen's own brother, and the queen will definitely ask for his opinion if she wants to choose a concubine for her son, and the concubine is the queen in the future, and this person will definitely discuss it with him if he chooses the emperor. So he still has plenty of time at this time, and he has to have a good chat with Wang Yuan later!

All the courtiers stopped talking when they saw that the emperor didn't let him continue, and they all looked at Xia Xiangye's side intentionally or unintentionally, and secretly said, "They said that they had said it, but the emperor didn't let them say it in detail, and none of them could do anything" After the emperor, he asked everyone about the court, and saw that the New Year was coming, and asked whether the soldiers and generals from all over the country were ready for the New Year.

After that, the courtiers from all walks of life also replied one by one, and the reports in many places were good and good, but no one knew the essence.

No one dares to mention the matter of the eldest prince when it comes to this, after all, when it comes to the end of the year, all the ministers have to state their performance well, and those who want to move places and want to be promoted will perform well, who will mention the matter of the eldest prince's choice of concubine that the emperor does not want to mention again!

Xia Xiangye was so anxious that he had to stay until he retreated from the early dynasty, and then he looked at Wang Yuan of Dali Temple with his eyes and walked out behind everyone.

He deliberately waited for this person and didn't care about the eyes of the ministers, until he saw this person in front of him, and he called out "Lord Wang" there

Wang Yuan looked up and saw that it was Xia Xiangye, and said "Xiangye" He knew that this was on the side of the eldest prince, so the two of them were polite when they met.
