The imperial concubine is favored by the Six Palaces again

Chapter 728

"Oh? Why not?" Meng Chengye raised his eyebrows, and looked at the minister standing up to speak with some disapproval.

"Your Majesty, the empress has only just entered the palace three times...", the minister got stuck while talking.

The empress has been in the palace for three years, and now the empress has no children under her knees, so it doesn't matter if she adopts one.

However, this child cannot be the child of a noble concubine.

Do you see how the imperial concubine is pampered now?

It was heard that the previous imperial concubine had her feet grounded and left Ganquan Palace, but the emperor and empress didn't even reprimand her.

Even the emperor acquiesced in this behavior.

If the child of the imperial concubine was adopted by the empress, wouldn't the child of the imperial concubine have the status of a legitimate son?

Wouldn't it be logical to seal the crown prince then?
Not right, really not right.

The crown prince has always been recommended by the national teacher, so it is really inappropriate.

"If the emperor is worried that the empress has no children, he can put the eldest prince under the name of the empress to raise him. The little prince is young, so it is really inappropriate to leave his biological mother." Another minister stood up and retorted methodically.

Meng Chengye nodded: "There is indeed something wrong."

The minister hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"The sixth prince should be sent to be raised by the empress when he is older." Meng Chengye nodded.

Minister: "..."

No, Weichen didn't mean that.

Meng Chengye turned his head and looked at the minister below: "Okay, there's no need to say anything, I already made a decision yesterday, the empress and concubine agreed, what else do you have to say?"

The two ministers who stood up hesitated for a while, and were about to say something, but were interrupted by Prime Minister Wen: "Your Majesty, this is your family matter, why talk about it with us outsiders?"

Meng Chengye nodded: "What the prime minister said is, since that's the case, then this matter is settled. Okay, what are you still kneeling on the ground for? Get up."

The two kneeling ministers looked at me and I looked at you, both hesitant and at a loss.

General Liu turned his head and looked at the two of them: "Why, you two are willing to kneel? You don't listen to the emperor's words?"

The two ministers stood up helplessly.

"By the way, all my loves, I still have a big happy event to announce." Meng Chengye smiled, "I have decided to appoint the sixth prince, Mencius, as the crown prince."

The ministers below suddenly exploded, and they all started talking among each other.

Meng Chengye sat on the dragon chair as steady as Mount Tai.

After a while, the ministers became quiet.

After quieting down, the ministers looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Miao Shangshu who was standing in front stood up: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Meng Chengye raised his eyes and asked.

"The emperor's move is... a bit of a joke.", Miao Shangshu said.

Meng Chengye supported his head and responded: "This is the result of my deliberation, how could it be a joke?"

"Your Majesty! My ministers said something that shouldn't be said. You have already favored the concubine and empresses very much. Naturally, my ministers would not say anything, but now that the crown prince is established, the emperor must not play tricks!", Miao Shangshu heavily Sighed.

Meng Chengye frowned: "I've made up my mind."

All the ministers immediately knelt down: "Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the establishment of a crown prince is the foundation of the country. This is not a small matter. Please consider it carefully. Besides, the emperor loves the imperial concubine very much. If the child of the imperial concubine is appointed as the crown prince again, the people will probably think that the emperor is because of the imperial concubine. The prince who has just been established may not be able to convince the public when the prince ascends the throne." Miao Shangshu said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I think that Miao Shangshu's words are not unreasonable. Even if the first emperor loved Concubine Chen, King Xiang is only King Xiang now. Your Majesty is like this...", the minister did not dare to continue.

After all, the words behind these words are not very pleasant, he still wants his head.

Meng Chengye sneered: "Do you think I am discussing with you?"

Miao Shangshu immediately kowtowed: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The ministers below followed suit one after another and spoke in unison.

Prime Minister Wen glanced at the people kneeling behind him, and silently knelt down along with him.

After all, he still understands the truth of shooting the first bird.

But some people don't understand, some people are straightforward.

General Liu stood there with his hips akimbo, and said, "Are you planning for the emperor, or for your daughter in the palace? Who doesn't understand your little abacus?"

Meng Chengye nodded appreciatively.

Such warriors are rare, and he must treat General Liu better in the future.

As long as there is no future.

But with General Liu's temperament, I'm afraid he wouldn't care about these things.

After all, General Liu's three or five friends are not here, or they are not from the court.

Miao Shangshu, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and did not speak, as if he could not hear or see.

General Liu blew his beard and stared angrily: "I'm talking to you, don't act like you didn't hear me!"

"General Liu, please don't make any noise in the hall." Miao Shangshu said in a low voice.

"Loud noise? Loud noise? I'm loud! Am I loud?" General Liu said loudly, poking his neck.

Miao Shangshu: "..."

No need to turn up the volume, really.

Meng Chengye coughed lightly: "Alright, Liu Aiqing, what do you want to say?"

General Liu was stunned for a while before realizing that Meng Chengye was trying to help her out, and said, "Your Majesty, he wants to delay the future of Linzhou for his own selfish desire! His heart can be punished! Your Majesty, drag him out and behead him!"

Miao Shangshu suddenly raised his head and looked at General Liu: "General, don't talk nonsense!"

What are you talking about!

Back then, the unknown empress dowager could give birth to a prince, so why couldn't his daughter?
What if?
If it happens, wouldn't his Miao family be prosperous and rich?
What Miao Shangshu thought in his heart was naturally extraordinarily beautiful, but Meng Chengye heard every word in his heart verbatim.

Looking at Miao Shangshu's hard-working appearance, Meng Chengye frowned and looked down on Miao Shangshu who was kneeling on the ground.

Miao Shangshu, who had just entered the court, was not like this.

Thinking of this, Meng Chengye sighed, after all, Chaotang is a big dye vat.

Miao Shilang, who was dedicated to serving the country and the people at the beginning, has finally gained a high position and power, but he has become tainted with worldly interests.

Meng Chengye looked at Miao Shangshu at the bottom for a while, and then said: "If it is for your own benefit, there is no need to persuade me like this. I have already made a decision, and today I am just here to inform you."

Miao Shangshu was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say something, when General Liu snatched it away first.
