As the sky got dark, Situ Nan left the palace and walked straight to a restaurant in the south of the city alone.

Arriving at the destination, Situ Nan went straight up to the second floor and entered a room. Looking at the people who had already arrived in the house, Situ Nan nodded lightly and greeted the two of them.

"What's so important that you have to go so far?" Situ Nan sat at the table, looked at Situ Ningchen and Situ Ziyang opposite, and asked in a low voice.

"The three of us haven't been together for a long time, so I thought I'd call you out to talk." Situ Ziyang looked at Situ Nan calmly and said.

"Sit down and say, I have news for you both." Compared with Situ Ningchen and Situ Ziyang, his expression was quite nervous. He raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down. Situ Ningchen glanced at the two people in front of him and said in a low voice: "I heard that the ministers are preparing to embarrass the emperor tomorrow morning and let the emperor make a decision to make a decision. ”

"Accurate message?" Situ Nan frowned, interested in Situ Ningchen's words.

"It's not wrong, they've been discussing it for days, and someone sent someone to the house to find me and mention it. I look at what they mean, ten of them have already decided on the candidates, just waiting for the emperor's decree. Situ Ningchen's eyes flashed and looked at Situ Nan and asked, "How sure do you think this matter is?" ”

"Difficult." Situ Ziyang shook his head and spoke.

"Yes, it's hard." Situ Nan nodded secondly, glanced at Situ Ziyang, and said, "If the emperor wanted to establish the queen, he would have done so a long time ago, so why would he wait until now." Tomorrow you two had better not open your mouth about this, no matter who you promised before, don't open your mouth. At this time, no one can save anyone. ”

"Brother Jiu, you said that the emperor has been dragging this matter on, what is it for?" Situ Ziyang changed his words and asked.

Situ Nan listened to Situ Ziyang's words and smiled softly. Squinting at him, the corners of Situ Nan's mouth rose, and said, "Don't you all know this in your hearts?" The emperor has only thought about setting up a person for so many years, and even if outsiders say anything, it will be in vain. ”

Situ Nan said to the other two in a daze, and the three of them ate a meal in a daze, discussed things in a low voice, and then went back to their respective mansions, waiting for the next day's good show to be staged.

Situ Nan always thought that Situ Rui would at most deal with these ministers on the issue of the post-establishment period, and would definitely not turn against them. But what happened today surprised Situ Nan.

In the silent hall, the oppressive atmosphere silently surrounds everyone. Situ Nan looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground with his spare eyes, and then looked at Situ Rui on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, and had a feeling that something was wrong.

These people dare to be so bold today, are they really anxious for the emperor, or is there someone behind them who instigates them to support them? If so, who would this person be, the Queen Mother?

"If I don't promise you, you'll never be able to kneel, right?" Situ Rui spoke coldly, looked at the few people who bowed their heads and said nothing, and smiled slightly. "Since you have said this today, then I have to ask you, according to what you see, who in the harem can take the position of queen? Could it be that you are the same ones you mentioned to me? ”

After Situ Rui finished speaking, he didn't give a few people a chance to answer, and continued: "Why don't you listen to me today, who do I want to set up as the queen?" ”

Situ Rui's words made everyone in the hall look at each other. The emperor has always rejected this topic, what's going on today?

"I don't know which lady the emperor likes?"

One person dared to ask, and others, including Situ Nan, also pricked up their ears to hear whose name Situ Rui wanted to say, and who had such good luck to be appreciated and favored by the emperor. However, when Situ Rui said the name, everyone was stunned.

"What I fancy is Shen Yunyou, who is now living in Jialing Garden, I wonder if the ministers have any objections?"

Situ Nan's eyes flashed, he never expected Situ Rui to say Shen Yunyou's name. The Queen Mother has always opposed the relationship between the emperor and Shen Yunyou, and now the emperor is saying such things in front of all the ministers, isn't it clear that he wants to rebel against the Queen Mother? Today's people are very likely to have this move because of the order of the Queen Mother, what does it mean that the emperor carried Shen Yunyou out at this time?

Situ Nan knew that Situ Rui had never given up on Shen Yunyou. But Situ Rui definitely didn't trust Shen Yunyou now, and wanted to make her the next step. Situ Rui did this to push Shen Yunyou to the cusp, what did he want Shen Yunyou to do?

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done! Please think twice! ”

After Situ Rui's words were finished, not only the previous ministers spoke up, but even some other ministers who had nothing to do with themselves also knelt down one after another to dissuade Situ Rui.

Situ Nan and the others stood aside, frowning slightly. Originally, I wanted to see the excitement today, but looking at it now, it is very likely that I will be involved in it......

"I don't like what you say. What I have chosen, you will not be able to see. The matter of the harem is my family affair. But you guys talk about my family affairs every day and discuss them privately. Although the harem is harmonious, it is conducive to the stability of the government. But now that I am in power, pray that the kingdom of heaven is not chaotic to the point of making all the ministers work for me every day. After you forced me to stand, I did as you pleased. Why, you don't want me to be the queen now? ”

Situ Rui looked at the kneeling people mockingly, and asked them with a sneer. After glancing at the few people in the first row, Situ Rui thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, I want to hear your opinion." ”

The prime minister in Situ Rui's mouth is called Hao Zhengyuan, Hao Weiwei's father. When the Shen family fell and Shen Zhiyuan died, Liu Xinru strongly recommended this person to Situ Rui, so he has today's status.

As soon as Hao Zhengyuan heard Situ Rui mention his name, his body immediately shook. "Your Majesty, Shen Yunyou is the daughter of a criminal minister, and she must not be made the queen. The queen is the mother of a country, please think twice. Otherwise, the people of the world will definitely discuss this matter and ruin the royal reputation! ”

"Then according to the Prime Minister's opinion, how about I make your daughter the queen?!"

Situ Rui's words made the hall where the atmosphere was not quite right even more weird. Hao Zhengyuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, and the others didn't dare to take a breath. Almost everyone present had a daughter or relative who was a concubine in the palace. The emperor has already made a slight joke about Hao Zhengyuan, and the rest of the people dare to find themselves boring?

Situ Rui looked at everyone bowing their heads and was silent, and smiled at the corners of his mouth with satisfaction. Glancing sideways at the few people standing on the side, Situ Rui set his eyes on Situ Nan's body.

"The matter of the establishment is also a family matter, and the king of Nanjun is my brother, so you might as well talk about it, do you have anything to say?"

Situ Nan looked at Situ Rui fixedly, not understanding what he meant by suddenly saying this. What does it have to do with you?

"There are many concubines and concubines in the harem, but no one has the emperor who clearly understands the advantages and benefits of all the concubines. When it comes to the post-establishment of the posterior, the ministers are only anxious about the emperor, but in the final analysis, it is the emperor's own business. ”

Situ Nan thought twice and spoke cautiously. These are the people in front of Liu Xinru, who not only want not to offend the queen mother, but also to make the emperor feel satisfied, which is a problem.

Situ Rui stood up with a smile on the corner of his mouth and nodded lightly in the direction of Situ Nan. "After the establishment of the matter, if the ministers have a suitable candidate, they will come to the palace privately to consult with me, and I do not want to talk about this matter in the main hall anymore. If you come to force me again, then I will simply set up Shen Yunyou as the queen. ”

After Situ Rui finished speaking, he looked at the faces of everyone looking at each other, and continued: "Your good heart for me, I understand it in my heart. But you can't rush everything, otherwise it will be bad for me to mistakenly think that you are trying to force the palace...... Do you understand? ”

After Situ Rui finished speaking, he strode away, leaving everyone anxious and restless. Situ Nan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after Situ Rui left. Looking back at Situ Ziyang and Situ Ningchen behind them, the three of them glanced at each other, and walked outside in unison.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean today?" After Situ Ningchen walked out of the main hall, he asked Situ Nan beside him in a low voice.

"Who knows." Situ Nan replied to Situ Ningchen meaningfully, and he was also guessing Situ Rui's thoughts in his heart. Could it be that he deliberately embarrassed himself because he refused to go to Long Ming Country a few days ago?

Situ Rui walked towards the dormitory in a good mood, and the faces of the ministers just now appeared in his mind, Situ Rui's eyes flashed with a cold light, he had already done it, and if they mentioned this matter again, he planned to turn his face with them. He had already brought Shen Yunyou out, and these people were also taboo about Shen Yunyou's name, even if they couldn't scare them for a lifetime, but they could still do it for a while.

Back in the dormitory, Situ Rui walked into the room and paused, and said to the guards guarding the door: "Go, call Shen Yunyou to me." ”

Shen Yunyou had just finished eating with Chen'er, but he didn't expect Situ Rui to be in a hurry to find him early in the morning. Handing over Chen'er to Jincheng, Shen Yunyou hurriedly arrived at Situ Rui's bedroom. Seeing Situ Rui sitting behind the table in a good mood and looking at himself, Shen Yunyou frowned and asked, "Does the emperor have anything happy to tell me?" ”

"I have already told the ministers in the main hall today that I will make you the queen."

"What?!" Shen Yunyou's eyes widened, and he looked at Situ Rui incredulously. "Your Majesty, you're not joking with me, are you?"
