The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

When the emperor's plan was to go his own way, the courtiers were basically helpless.

After several consecutive meetings, the cabinet ministers gave up.

Their meaning was very clear. If Emperor Yanping really made up his mind to destroy the descendants of the clan regardless of the Jiang family's inheritance and the criticism of the world, then he could do whatever he wanted.

However, there are only two choices for the crown prince, either to give birth to Emperor Yanping himself, or to choose from these suitable husbands. Anyway, if you want to have a crown princess, I'm sorry, it's impossible.

Ever since the emperor and his ministers showed their trump cards in the third year of Yanping, the tug-of-war between the emperor and his ministers over the candidate for the throne began and continues to this day.

For more than three years, both the monarch and the ministers have tacitly agreed not to put the dispute on the table. However, anyone who understands will know that this tug-of-war has turned into a wrestling match. Both the monarch and the ministers are really impatient for the results of the battle to be known. .

No, recently Yongxing Hou and his eldest son Sheng Xin have been impeached more and more times.

On the other hand, Sheng Yuan was not greatly affected. First of all, since she ended Ding You's return to the court, she has been impeached and criticized. Even if it has increased by 10% or 20% recently, it is probably not conspicuous;

Secondly, she is a person who never knows how to write the word "fear". When she has nothing to do, she still stirs up trouble in the court. If she really finds trouble with her, then she can take advantage of her. Whether it's through lip service or full martial arts, she's happy to accompany you.

So when some courtiers were planning to cause trouble, their first reaction was to ignore her when they thought of Sheng Yuan!

Since ancient times, gentlemen have never fought with villains! Sheng Wenzhen is not polite, he is really not easy to mess with!

"The eldest princess of Hong'an has been coming to the mansion frequently recently to express her opinions. In her words, she intends to support the emperor in establishing a daughter-in-law."

The mother and daughter talked about the turmoil over the appointment of the crown prince in recent years. Mrs. Zheng sighed with worry and said, "But what's the point of talking to our family? The former emperors Chengyuan and Jinghe praised him a lot. In the clan, Even if she is not the number one person, she is still respectable.

If she really meant it, she should let the clan come forward to report it. If the clan came forward, the momentum of the courtiers would naturally be weakened. "

"If the establishment of a Crown Princess succeeds, it will be the first of its kind in history and will have a great impact. Not only the succession of the throne, but also the people and the powerful families will have something to say, and the court officials will not be willing to accept it. It's normal. Even for Zongwa, I am also worried about her heir's succession to the throne. I'm afraid there will be trouble." Sheng Ran's mentality is also extremely complicated. On the one hand, she does not want her and her daughter's fate to be manipulated by others, but on the other hand, she Worrying about what will happen decades from now.

"You should take care of the present in everything. If you can't take care of the present, how can we talk about the future?" Mrs. Zheng was very open-minded, "You and the princess should come first in everything. As for the worries and thorns in the future, let's talk about it later." that is."

Sheng An thought so too, and when she heard her mother's persuasion, she couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"Yes, just like Sister Yuan said, you should be worried about what will happen a few decades from now. Why bother yourself now?!"

She was happy at this moment and mentioned her sister Sheng Yuan, but she didn't want to remind Madam Zheng.

Thinking of the purpose of this place, Ms. Zheng immediately raised her eyes and asked: "It's not my fault as a mother. Sister Yuan is also a grown-up girl in her twenties. Not to mention others, it's just that I am at this age." , I have you and your brother! But as for her, she is not married yet! She is about to get married, and there is news that the emperor intends to let her leave the capital!

That girl is a crazy person. She has the emperor's mandate, so she is naturally happy to run around. But you, the elder sister, have to think about it for her. Duke Anguo's mansion has been sending people to inquire about the wedding date lately! Although Brother Yu is hard to say, he travels very hard to Yongxinghou Mansion, so he barely lives in the mansion. "

"..." Sheng Ran really wanted to give herself a slap in the face just now and tell her that she was rude and asked her to talk about Sister Yuan!

But now that it was brought up, she had no choice but to patiently explain: "Originally, there was a suitable candidate and a minister proposed it, but neither the emperor nor I agreed. Even if we really want Sister Yuan to go out to the capital to provide food relief, we will definitely have to wait. Let’s talk about it after she gets married!

However, food relief is an important matter and cannot be neglected or delayed. Therefore, today the emperor has found another person to entrust him with important tasks, and he will leave the capital tomorrow. "(End of chapter)
