The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 44
If it were half an hour ago, the members of Xuanping Hou's party hoped that He Xiang would agree to replace Wang Jiazhu.However, people in Xuanping Hou's party now hope that He Xiang will not support Dai Wang Jiazhu.

People in Zhen Guogong's party naturally hoped that He Xiang would support Dai Wang Jiazhu, so that their wish could be fulfilled.

He Xiang came out, saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou first, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is the rule of the previous dynasty to add beads to the prince, not our rule. I feel that there is no need for our dynasty to follow the rules of the previous dynasty. Furthermore, I have my own rules."

When Xuan Pinghou heard what He Xiang said, he was relieved.He hastily echoed, "What Xiang He said is true."

Other ministers who supported the acting king echoed, "What Xiang Xiang said is true."

Duke Zhen and the crown prince were not surprised when they heard He Xiang's answer.Earlier, Lord Zhen Guo had told the prince that He Xiang and Song Dekang would not agree to add Zhu on behalf of the king.

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at Taishi Liu again and asked, "What do you think?"

Grand Master Liu stepped out of the queue and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the previous court is the previous court, and our court is our court. There is no rule in our court to add pearls to the prince. Besides, the position of the prince is already extremely honorable."

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at Song Dekang and Chu Ying again.Before he opened his mouth to ask, Song Dekang and Chu Ying took the initiative to answer: "I think He Xiang and Liu Taishi are right."

"Duke Zhen, what do you think?"

The Duke of Zhen said solemnly: "I feel that what the prime minister and the grand master said is reasonable. Our court is our court, and we don't need to follow the rules of the previous court. It is because of my stupidity. Please punish me."

The members of Xuanping Hou's party and the ministers of the prince's party were very surprised.Fangcai Zhen Guogong strongly supported Daiwang Jiazhu. It stands to reason that he should refute what He Xiang and the grand master said. Why did he agree so easily with what He Xiang and the grand master said.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou stood up straight and said, "Since you all agree to add beads on behalf of the king, then this matter will stop here, and don't bring it up again in the future."

When Xuanpinghou's party heard what Emperor Wu of Zhou said, they immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The members of Zhen Guogong's party seemed to feel it was a pity, but they still shouted "The Emperor is wise" together with the members of Xuanpinghou's party.

"Father, can my son go out of the city this afternoon to welcome the Dai Wang triumphantly?" the prince asked again.

Emperor Wu of Zhou sat back on the dragon chair, "Since you want to go, then go."

"Thank you, Father."

Emperor Wu of Zhou thought of something suddenly, and said, "Take the third child and the others together."

The prince said: "Yes, father."

Emperor Wu of Zhou sat on the dragon chair with his legs crossed, his hands in his wide sleeves, and his gaze casually glanced at a minister.He suddenly thought of something, raised his hand and patted his knee, then asked: "Kong Taichang, I remember that you have a daughter who is about to reach the age of Ji, don't you?"

When Kong Taichang heard this, his heart tensed immediately, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.He bit the bullet and went out, "If you go back to the emperor, the minister's daughter will be married next month."

When the other ministers heard that Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Kong Taichang, they all wondered in their hearts whether the emperor wanted to marry Kong Taichang's daughter.Which prince is the emperor going to marry Kong Taichang's daughter to? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang have already married.The only prince who is about the same age as Kong Taichang's youngest daughter is the third prince.However, last year the emperor granted the third prince a marriage.Could it be that the emperor wants to marry Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the third prince as a side concubine?
The third prince has the support of the Wang family, if the emperor marry Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the third prince, it will be to let the Kong family support the Wang family.

For a moment, the ministers looked at Marquis Anyang with envious eyes.

Anyang Hou didn't have any waves on the surface, but he was excited in his heart.If the emperor really marry Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the third prince as a side concubine, then the third prince will get the support of the Kong family, and will be like a tiger with wings added.

Kong Taichang is a descendant of the sage Confucius, and the Confucius family has a very high status in the hearts of scholars all over the world.It is no exaggeration to say that getting the support of the Confucius family is equivalent to waiting for the support of more than half of the scholars in the world.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang got married, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not give them the daughter of the Kong family.The ministers speculated that Emperor Wu of Zhou did not want the Kong family to be involved with the royal family, but they did not expect that the emperor would marry the youngest daughter of the Kong family to the third prince, which is really unpredictable.

Both Lord Zhen Guo and Marquis Xuan Ping frowned, their expressions were not very good-looking.

Kong Taichang was not willing to let his daughter marry into the royal family, let alone let the Kong family participate in the struggle among the princes.

"The daughter of your Kong family is quite talented and famous, and she is an example for women in the world."

Hearing the praise of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Kong Taichang was not only not happy at all, but his heart was pounding.

"Your majesty, you have praised me. The daughter of the Kong family is no different from the daughters of ordinary people. Besides, the youngest daughter of the minister is spoiled by the minister. She doesn't like reading very much on weekdays, and she has no rules. She is arrogant and willful. I really can't bear the emperor's praise."

"Kong Taichang is very humble. The children of your Kong family have taught you very well." Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a smile, "Your daughters of the Kong family are begging all kinds of families. Today I want to beg your little daughter for my son, and I want to have sex with you." In-laws, I wonder if Kong Taichang is willing?"

Sure enough!

The ministers exclaimed in their hearts at the same time.

Kong Taichang smiled wryly in his heart, but he showed a flattered expression on his face: "Your Majesty, this is my honor, but my youngest daughter is too stubborn to be a concubine."

Emperor Wu of Zhou waved his hand and said: "I think your Kong family's daughter is very good, so you should stop being modest. The Dai Wang has no side concubine, so I will marry your youngest daughter to the Dai Wang to be the Dai Wang's side concubine." concubine."

When he said this, there was an uproar in the hall.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty showed shocking expressions, unable to believe what they had just heard.

Kong Taichang was stunned and forgot to thank Long En.

Zhen Guogong's face changed drastically, and his eyes widened very wide.And the prince directly turned pale, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

Xuan Pinghou was stunned like everyone else at first, and then showed an ecstatic smile on his face.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi were also surprised by Emperor Zhou Wu's gift of marriage.The emperor just didn't agree to add beads to the Dai Wang, so why did he want to marry Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the Dai Wang as a side concubine in a blink of an eye?What play is the emperor going to sing?
Duke Zhen panicked, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and interrupted him: "Kong Taichang, are you unwilling to be in-laws with me?"

Kong Taichang only woke up at this time, his heart was still full of shock.

"I am willing, thank you, the emperor, for the marriage." At this moment, Kong Taichang's mind was in a mess, and his heart was also in a mess.He didn't understand why the emperor would marry his youngest daughter to the acting king.

The ministers who supported the acting king were ecstatic at the moment.In their view, the emperor bestowed the marriage of Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the Dai Wang, which was to help the Dai Wang gain the support of most of the scholars in the world.In the past few years, what Dai Wang lacks the most is the support of the world's scholars.The emperor is paving the way for the acting king.

Compared with Jiazhu, this marriage is the most beneficial to Daiwang.

The emperor just didn't agree to add beads to Dai Wang. They thought that the emperor felt that Dai Wang's merits were high, and wanted to frustrate Dai Wang's spirit. Unexpectedly, the emperor directly married Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to Dai Wang.Sure enough, the emperor still valued Daiwang the most.

"Are you okay?"

The ministers were so dazed by the gift of marriage just now, even if they had something to play, they didn't have the time to think about it at this time.

Seeing that the ministers had nothing to play, Emperor Wu of Zhou stood up and left.

"Retreat!"

After Emperor Wu of Zhou left, the hall immediately became lively.

The ministers of the Daiwang Party congratulated Xuanping Hou one after another, while the ministers of the Prince's Party anxiously asked Zhen Guogong what was going on.

The prince had a gloomy face, and his heart was full of anger.He clenched his back teeth and clenched his hands into fists.

　Xuan Ping Hou: Hahahahaha, Feng Shui turns around, Lord Zhen, you are about to cry.

　　Lord Zhen: I will bite you to death [○｀Д○]
