Chapter 1249 Cabinet Ministers
The eldest son of Marquis Yongxing moved out of the Marquis Yongxing Mansion with his wife and children!
When this news spread throughout Kyoto, the local crowd was in an uproar!

Who could have imagined that such a wonderful thing that had never been seen before would actually happen?

It is said that from ancient times to the present, from the common people to the princes, even the most unruly royal family, no one has ever been seen to drive out the son who was eyeing the title of heir!
What's going on?!

"Marquis Yongxing is still as unreasonable as before!" Unlike the common people who were just watching the fun, the officials of the Censorate, upon hearing about this, their first reaction was to impeach Marquis Yongxing Sheng Xiangxun for his disrespectful behavior.

"The royal family is the role model for the world, and the queen's father is a relative of the emperor. He should also be careful about his words and deeds. How can he act arbitrarily? Such behavior that does not follow etiquette and law may mislead the people."

What the censor wanted to express was very simple. Marquis Yongxing could either petition to cancel Sheng Xin's title of crown prince. In that case, no matter how he drove him away, the court would not be able to interfere. If he was reluctant to give up this heir, Marquis Yongxing should just be content and take Crown Prince Sheng Xin back home. As for how he wanted to educate his son after he returned home, that would be up to him.

Not long after the memorial from the Censorate was submitted, it arrived on the cabinet's desk.

Sanfu Cen Minzhou happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so he strolled over to the shelf where memorials were sorted and noticed the one from the Censorate.

"Oh? The Censorate really couldn't help it!" Picking up the memorial and flipping through two pages, Cen Minzhou snorted and put it in his sleeve pocket.

He waited until the cabinet meeting before he put it in front of everyone: "We outsiders want to follow the precedent and give the Sheng family good fortune, but we didn't expect that they themselves would avoid suspicion!"

The cabinet ministers present knew all about the affairs of Yongxing Marquis's Mansion. Therefore, Sheng Xiangxun's unconventional move really caught everyone off guard.

Although the cabinet had no intention of promoting Sheng when things could be done, Sheng unexpectedly jumped out of the chaos, which amazed them and gave them some respect.

"What the Great Chu needs now is a crown prince. If you want to find someone to take advantage of it, you can find one everywhere! If the Sheng family can't be replaced, there are still the Xie family. If the Xie family can't be replaced, there are still the An family. If the An family can't be replaced, there are still the old relatives of the royal family... It's just a Yongxing Marquisate. No matter how they mess around, it has nothing to do with the overall situation." Minister of Rites He Benchu ​​waved his hand nonchalantly, thinking that the Metropolitan Censorate was making a fuss out of nothing. "Who stipulated that the prince of a marquisate must live in a marquisate? The people in the Metropolitan Censorate are getting more and more bored!"

"Minister He, what you said is wrong!" The Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household shook his head in protest, "Have you forgotten that the heads of the Five Military Commands and the Nine Cities Military Department are both surnamed Sheng? I don't know whether the Sheng family wants to join the game, but whoever enters the palace will need their cooperation!"

"It's not just those two places. Don't forget, the deputy chief of the Military Affairs Camp is the son of the Cheng'en Clan! He has been friends with Sheng Wenzhen and An Yu since childhood."

"If that's the case, given the emperor's reliance on and affection for the queen, the inner guards will probably fall into the hands of the queen sooner or later! In this case, whether Sheng joins or not, the impact on the situation cannot be underestimated."

The court officials attending the meeting talked about the Yongxing Marquis Mansion.

You really don't realize it unless you think about it carefully. After everyone brainstormed, the importance of the Sheng family actually increased!
"Everyone, right now the Emperor and Empress are too worried about their daughter to handle government affairs. Should we put the selection of the Crown Prince on the agenda?"

These words from Prince's Guardian Yang Bensheng caused the meeting to fall into silence.
