Chapter 131: Divine Grace Is Hard to Say

This time, Zheng Yong was really a little confused by the emperor-

Although that cold ice may sound like a rather clever young man, with his little cleverness, it must have made King Ji so jealous that he vowed to put him to death, right?

Seeing the confusion on Zheng Yong's face, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile proudly, and explained: "Although Zuo Xiang Leng Yiqing is unwilling to conspire with King Ji to rebel, it doesn't mean that he doesn't support King Ji to become the crown prince. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoKing Ji should have seen this and thought that Zuo Xiang would fall to him sooner or later, so he would not give up his intention to continue to win over Zuo Xiang no matter what.

And he could guess that as long as he kept his duty in the future, I wouldn't really do anything to him. But the ice was different. After Yan Xingbao's case, he and the Yan family have been completely opposed, and for the sake of his own situation, he will naturally stand on the side of the future prince and oppose King Ji.

If he was just a small character who was not worth mentioning, King Ji would not take him seriously. But now that he has become the eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although King Ji does not believe that he is really the son of Zuo Xiang, if Zuo Xiang himself believes it, wouldn't the consequences be serious?"

Zheng Yong kept nodding his head while listening, he really admired the emperor's analysis, and at the end he couldn't help but interject and asked: "Then Your Majesty, do you think that cold ice is the son of Zuo Xiang?"

"I have asked Feng Shan about this, and he doesn't know the true identity of the woman named Fang Yin he saved, so he doesn't know who Han Bing's father is. But I thought that Han Bing must be Leng Yiqing's son! Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in this world, Leng Yiqing's former wife was also called Fang Yin, and this cold ice looked so similar to her?"

"That's right, I heard that the cold ice is extremely beautiful, and it shouldn't be something that anyone can pretend to be!"

"It's a pity that he has a good look, but for a female singer who is so fascinated, he even pretends to be a woman to sing on stage, he must also be a prodigal boy with no ambitions!"

Maybe even Haoxing Xiaoqi himself didn't realize that he was actually worrying about Leng Yiqing. It's just because now in his mind, this Zuo Xiang is definitely the minister of his humerus in the Dayu court, and he is also the only minister of His Majesty the Emperor.

However, what Zheng Yong was thinking about at this time was something else. This Lord Zuo Xiang abandoned his wife and children in the past, and now he has got his son back, but he has also caused trouble. His predicament is somewhat similar to that of His Majesty the Emperor.

In order to marry the young lady of Yan Mansion as the main concubine, the emperor abandoned his sweetheart, Miss Huafu, who was pregnant, causing the young lady to flee with hatred, and finally died due to dystocia, but left Hua Fengshan such a son. As a result, this Hua Fengshan also had a grudge against the emperor, and refused to recognize him as his father for many years, even if he became an adult and was willing to recognize his father, he was never very close to the emperor.

But now it seems that the left prime minister's son Han Bing seems to have gone a little too far than Hua Fengshan. He didn't care about the face of Lord Zuo Xiang at all, and didn't talk about causing trouble outside, but he even went to sing on stage in a shameful manner, and he didn't sing well, and deliberately pretended to be a woman. Such a shocking behavior is simply too outrageous!

It is no wonder that the emperor is here to express great sympathy for the left minister, just because compared with the son of the left minister, the emperor should feel that his son is at least like a son......

Zheng Yong was still secretly slandering himself, but Haoxing Xiaoqi's thoughts had shifted from those trivial matters back to state affairs, he coughed, and asked: "How is the matter of the Zhang?

Zheng Yong hurriedly gathered his mind and replied cautiously: "I have already had a reply." According to the old cabinet system, a member of the ministry was responsible for the preliminary examination of the submitted pieces every day, but he did not have the right to read the pieces of officials of higher rank than himself, so he could only submit them to the emperor as they were. Therefore, those inconsequential or even daily greetings were sent to His Majesty in one go, and there were many of them.

However, since the Prime Minister took up the post of privy councillor, he found that there were indeed many overlaps in the functions of the various ministries, and he thought that there must be many repetitions in what he did. So he changed the old system, and now two members of the ministry jointly reviewed the cantata, and except for the one that marked the tantric canon, the rest of the cantata were read first, and those trivial and useless recitals were directly reviewed or even rejected. As a result, the number of pieces that the cabinet finally presents to the emperor for approval has been greatly reduced. ”

Hao Xing Xiaoqi listened to it, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, "Zuo Xiang knows how to share worries for the monarch so well, and he is really an example for all the ministers!" He suddenly narrowed his eyes and thought about it, and instructed Zheng Yong, "You and send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to spread my will, and Xuan Zuo Xiang will enter the palace immediately." ”

Zheng Yong blinked his eyes and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Zuo has not returned to the house at the moment, and is still in the political hall in front of him. ”

"Oh, is there anything urgent to deal with in the cabinet today?" Haoxing Xiaoqi looked at the sky outside in surprise, it was almost unitary, this left minister was still in the political hall, his diligence was better than his own emperor, it seemed a little abnormal, right?

Zheng Yong listened, but he smiled "hehe", and there was a bit of schadenfreude in his expression, "Your Majesty, it's not that something big happened in the cabinet, but that there was a big incident in the family of Lord Zuo Xiang, so he stayed in the palace and didn't return at night——"

Haoxing Xiaoqi stared at Zheng Yong, so frightened that he immediately put away the evil smile on his face, and explained respectfully: "I heard that there was a conflict between the two sons of Lord Zuo Xiang, and the eldest son Han Bing seemed to beat the little son, and Mrs. Zuo Xiang naturally felt sorry for her son, so she also had a dispute with Han Bing. Lord Zuo Xiang was also in a dilemma when he was caught in the middle, so he hid in the political hall all day long, just trying to be quiet!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi frowned when he heard this, and waved his hand to Zheng Yong: "You pass him on first." ”

Soon after, Leng Yiqing rushed to the Xuande Palace.

After saluting, Haoxing Xiaoqi took a closer look at Leng Yiqing's slightly haggard face, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said in a harmonious voice: "It's so late, Prime Minister Zuo hasn't returned to the house yet, which shows the heavy political affairs of the cabinet." It's just that no matter how busy you are with business, you shouldn't be too tired, you are my minister, I will rely on you more in the future, don't be tired because of this!"

Leng Yi hurriedly bowed down gratefully and thanked him: "Thank you for Your Majesty's care! I don't want to bother Your Majesty to inquire, I'm really ashamed!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi smiled slightly and said, "Zuo Xiang doesn't have to be too humble. I have heard that you have made improvements to the rules for the Cabinet to review the constitution, and this is a very good move. I wanted to reward you for this, but I couldn't think of a suitable reward for a while, so I'll talk about it later.

I have called you today because I have a matter to consult with you. I want to appoint the seventh prince Haoxing Mingyong as the crown prince, but according to the customary system of previous dynasties, the prince needs to pay a crown salute before he can establish his position. It's just that the Seventh Prince is only fourteen years old, and I have already asked the Ministry of Rites that it will be at least two years before I can crown him. This is a lot of hesitation, I wonder what Zuo Zuo thinks about this?"

"Back to Your Majesty, special things are done at special times, and the habit is not absolutely unchangeable, and in the previous dynasty, there was indeed a precedent for the prince to perform a crown ceremony before he was twelve years old. The minister thought that this matter was entirely based on the dictatorship of His Majesty's Sacred Heart, and the courtiers should have no objections. ”

Leng Yiqing's words were reasonable and well-founded, and they were really in line with the sacred heart, and Haoxing Xiaoqi's face couldn't help but smile with joy.

Zuo Xiang's words are reasonable. In this way, I no longer had any doubts, and in two days I issued an order to establish a prince. Speaking of which, it was you who proposed the idea of establishing a reserve to me at the beginning, which was really meritorious to the society. I heard that Ling Lang Shiyu had a gentle temperament and was intelligent, so I decided to order him to study with the prince and enter the palace to accompany the prince to study. But I hope that in the future, between the prince and Ling Lang, and now I and Zuo are the same, supporting each other and achieving a good story of monarchs and ministers!"

Although Leng Yiqing had expected this matter for a long time, now that he heard the emperor mention it himself, he was still very anxious in his heart, and he could only hold on to the last faint hope, and politely excused himself to the emperor: "I heard that the seventh prince is bold and resolute, intelligent and reasonable, but the dog Shiyu is cowardly by nature, dull and ignorant, I am afraid that it will be useless and difficult to bear this heavy responsibility!"

"Eh, Zuo Xiangshi doesn't have to be so modest! I have already ordered someone to find out that although Ling Lang is younger than my Seventh Prince, he is not inferior to him in terms of knowledge, and is qualified to serve as the prince's companion. This matter is so decided, Zuo Xiang should go back to his house as soon as possible and inform Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Ling Lang Shiyu of this good news!"

When he said this, Haoxing Xiaoqi always smiled, but he didn't have the slightest suspicion that Leng Yiqing would be unwilling. After all, this prince's companion is like a confidant of the future emperor, and it is possible to worship the emperor in the future, which is an honor that other courtiers can't ask for!

Leng Yiqing also realized at this time that he could not do anything, if he wanted to excuse himself again, I was afraid that it would arouse the emperor's suspicion, because he knew very well in his heart that the emperor's move was quite meaningful, and it was not entirely out of praise for him.

With the emperor's ears and eyes, I am afraid that he has already noticed that King Ji is trying to woo him, the left minister who holds a lot of power, and his purpose is naturally for the throne. Therefore, the emperor specially chose his son to be the prince's companion, so that even if he is not grateful to the emperor for his favor, at least he has to think twice about his son's future, right?

The emperor's move was not bad, not only showing his favor, but also firmly tying him to the camp of the prince's side. But no matter how good the emperor's tricks are, they can't be as good as the fake prince who is full of intrigues and tricks!

Now that I think about it, the cause of all this is actually from the recital that put forward the proposal to establish a prince. And that piece of music, wasn't it that he wrote under the persuasion of the false prince? Unexpectedly, the expedient measure at that time turned out to be digging a pit for himself in advance, and he had to jump if he didn't jump at this time!

It's a pity that now is not the time to hate the fake prince, and this is not the place for him to regret it, in the face of this so-called heavenly grace, Leng Yiqing didn't dare to hesitate at all, and could only make a flattered appearance as the emperor wanted to see, and knelt down to thank him.
