After reconciliation, I was stared at by the sickly son-in-law

Chapter 144 Unexpected
It is said that the gun shoots the first bird, Ye Hengxiao is very willing to be an early bird.

He took a step forward, first knelt down and saluted, and then raised his voice: "Your Majesty, King Xiang uttered wild words, deliberately humiliated his son and his two younger brothers, and even regarded such a big event as a crown prince as a trifle, son. I feel that if you don't take the heavy responsibility on King Xiang, you may not be able to convince everyone!"

"What His Royal Highness Huai said, I deeply agree with it, Your Majesty, please place heavy responsibility on His Royal Highness Xiang." Ye Hengxiao's number one supporter, the Minister of Rites, took the lead to stand up.

Immediately afterwards, many people stood up to support Ye Hengxiao and condemn Ye Hengqi's actions.

Although Ye Hengxiao didn't have much talent, but with his prominent status, gentle and elegant temperament, and his usual means of winning people's hearts, he attracted many courtiers to favor him.

However, the bias will return to the bias, and when the dust of the crown prince is really settled, the courtiers will naturally know which side they should stand on.

Now these courtiers in Xiwu have their own careful thoughts, but what they hope most is that His Majesty can choose a wise prince, so that Xiwu can grow stronger day by day.

They know better than anyone else that they will be more profitable only when Seibu is at its peak.

In a crumbling Seibu with a restless society, they may not even be able to save their lives, let alone their wealth.

Many courtiers stood up to support Ye Hengxiao, but Ye Hengxiao's father-in-law Xia Shangshu, who was justified, remained silent all the time.

"You all think that what King Huai said is right, what King Xiang said just now was too presumptuous?" Emperor Xiwu asked all the courtiers who stood up, his voice was low.

"Yes." After looking at each other, several people nodded.

They were right, King Xiang was indeed too presumptuous.

Emperor Xiwu smiled and said: "Although King Xiang's words were a little fierce, I think there is some truth to it, and it is I who asked King Xiang to tell the truth. Why, you also want to punish me?"

These words, said in a very gentle tone, made these ministers feel scared.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?
Do you agree with His Royal Highness Xiang's words?

Even His Majesty admits that Xiwu has no successors?

"Your Majesty calm down, I have no such intention."

No matter what thoughts were in their hearts, the ministers subconsciously knelt down and said in unison.

"Your Majesty, I don't mean that..." Ye Hengxiao said right after the ministers knelt down and begged for mercy. He felt that he was extremely wronged.

Obviously this time, it was Ye Hengqi who provoked the incident, but his father defended him.

In Emperor Father's heart, it's fine that he is not as good as Ye Shuhuang, but is he not as good as Ye Hengqi who is not as good as him in every way?

Emperor Xiwu waved his hand: "Zhu Qing, get up first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xiwu stood up from the dragon chair, stood on the high platform, and looked down at the officials.

The majestic look in his eyes made the ministers dare not look up again.

After a long time, Emperor Xiwu opened his mouth slowly.

"Today, I just mentioned the matter of appointing the crown prince, but the reactions and choices of the ministers are really beyond my expectation."

Ok?
What does His Majesty mean by this?
Why is it beyond His Majesty's expectation?

Your Majesty is just these few princes, isn't it the most normal thing for them to propose these few?

Most of the courtiers are still in a daze, but a small number of courtiers who are alert have already begun to guess the real intention of Emperor Xiwu.

At the end of this court meeting, Emperor Xiwu left a sentence: "Don't be too narrow-minded, my choice is not only the prince. Retire from the court."

Before the ministers had time to think about it, Emperor Xiwu left in a huff.

"Your Majesty, tell me, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" A minister cautiously asked Prince Shan who had been silent since the last court.

Prince Shan glanced at the minister who was asking the question, and said irritably: "You and I can guess what His Majesty is thinking?"

"Master Chen, you should take care of your own business."

With that said, he turned and left.

The minister curled his lips. His Majesty trusted and valued Prince Shan so much, so he didn't believe that Prince Shan really didn't know.

However, I have to say that Prince Shan's temper is really irritable.

There are already many palace people cleaning the snow on the palace road to prevent people from slipping.

Ye Hengxiao stopped Xia Shangshu, he still remembered that Xia Shangshu had not spoken for him in the future when he was in court just now.

He thought that marrying Xia Shangshu's eldest daughter would draw Xia Shangshu to his side, but he didn't expect that not only was there no help, but Xia Shangshu blocked his way everywhere.

"Father-in-law, what's going on with you?" Ye Hengxiao lowered his voice, a little angry: "This time, so many ministers recommended me as the crown prince, and spoke for me to punish Ye Hengqi, and you are my king's son." Father-in-law, but he didn't say a word, how do you make others think? Where do you put this king's face?"

"Father-in-law, why do you fight against this king again and again?"

Xia Shangshu's tone was respectful but cold, "I have no intention of opposing His Highness King Huai."

"I'm just a minister of the Ministry of Households. It's about the establishment of the crown prince. Your majesty has made a holy decision. Your majesty will not change the holy will just because of what I say. Your highness thinks of me too much." Xia Shangshu's expression remained unchanged: "If His Highness King Huai is fine, so I will take my leave first."

Ye Hengxiao's face was gloomy: "Father-in-law doesn't care about your daughter, my king's concubine?"

Xia Shangshu paused when he heard this, but without turning his head, he said in a deep voice, "Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Huai is a gentle gentleman, how could he threaten his concubine?"

This remark left three points.

Ye Hengxiao laughed mockingly: "Your father-in-law is right, this king really can't do anything to the princess."

But it's not necessarily the case for others, such as those side concubines and concubines in Prince Huai's mansion.

Xia Shangshu didn't seem to understand what Ye Hengxiao said, and strode away.

Back then, it wasn't that he didn't persuade Wan'er that Ye Hengxiao was not a kind person, but Wan'er was fascinated by His Royal Highness Huai Wang's handsome appearance, and wanted to marry him no matter what.

Wan'er's mother is his first wife, although it is not a love affair, but it can be regarded as a respectful guest.Wan'er is his first child, so naturally he grew up holding her in the palm of his hand. Wan'er is also well-behaved and sensible, but she insists on marrying Ye Hengxiao, and even threatens to leave the family. Disappointed with Wan'er.

Parents' love for children is far-reaching.

Xuxian Wang gave birth to two sons but no daughter, so naturally she treated Wan'er as her own.

But Wan'er actually attacked her five-year-old brother, forcing herself to agree to her marriage with His Highness King Huai.

Forget it, this path was chosen by Wan'er herself, and it's her own fault if she chooses the wrong one, so she can't blame others.

……

Ye Shuhuang is walking in the imperial garden at the moment.

Now in the imperial garden, the first batch of red plums have bloomed.
