The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 64

After Emperor Wu of Zhou took his seat, the celebration banquet officially began.

The prince stood up first, offered three glasses of wine to Emperor Wu of Zhou, and wished the Great Zhou a stable and prosperous state.Then, he toasted Daiwang three glasses of wine, and praised Daiwang as the God of War in this world. Without Daiwang, there would be no peace now.With Dai Wang here, ministers and common people will feel at ease.He also said that there is a brother named Dai Wang, and his brother is also at ease.

For the prince's praise, Dai Wang was disdainful in his heart, but he said modestly that this was what he should do.

After the prince toasted, it was the third prince's turn.

The third prince's literary talents are outstanding, first he wrote a poem to flatter Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then praised the Dai Wang as a hero of the time and a role model for them to learn from.

The fourth prince's literary talents were no worse than the third prince's, but he did not flatter Emperor Wu of Zhou and Dai Wang with gorgeous rhetoric like the third prince.He complimented Emperor Wu of Zhou for his wisdom with simple but sincere words.As for Dai Wang, he expressed his admiration and admiration for Dai Wang as his younger brother, and hoped that he would devote himself to the court and the people like Dai Wang in the future.

What he said was more sincere than the third prince.After hearing this, many ministers showed expressions of appreciation.

The ministers had a good impression of the fourth prince.Although the fourth prince is not very old, he is mature, stable, virtuous, and talented.Furthermore, the ancestral family of the fourth prince is the Li family.Many civil servants in the court supported the fourth prince.

Next is the Fifth Prince and the others.What they said was similar to that of the third prince, a little exaggerated.

When the Eighth Prince was toasting, Zhao Yao noticed that the expressions of the ministers were somewhat disdainful.The Eighth Prince knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou and Dai Wang didn't like him, so he didn't say much, but simply congratulated him.

When it was the ninth prince's turn, he talked a lot.Emperor Wu of Zhou thought he was too wordy, so he interrupted him and told him to sit down.

Finally it was Zhao Yao's turn, he deliberately pretended to be a little scared, and stammered his words of congratulations.

Emperor Wu of Zhou did not dislike Zhao Yao's timidity.Seeing that he was a little uneasy, she smiled at him gently.

After Zhao Yao finished his congratulations, it was the ministers' turn.First of all, He Xiang and Liu Taishi, the few of them congratulated them very simply, the world is peaceful, the grains are plentiful, and prosperity is expected.As for the acting king, they praised that he had the demeanor of Emperor Wu of Zhou when he was young, but he was not as good as Emperor Wu of Zhou when he was young.

Dai Wang respects He Xiang and Liu Taishi very much.Hearing that they said that he was not as good as Emperor Wu of Zhou back then, not only was he not angry, but he was very honored.He said that it was enough for him to be half as powerful as Emperor Wu of Zhou when he was young.

Then came Zhen Guogong and Xuan Ping Hou.Duke Zhen also complimented him first, and immediately praised Dai Wang's achievements over the years.

Dai Wang sneered in his heart when he heard Zhen Guogong praise him to the sky.He hurriedly told Zhen Guogong that he just did what he should do, and he was not as great as Zhen Guogong said.

Before returning to Beijing, Dai Wang received a letter from Xuanpinghou.In the letter, Xuan Pinghou told Dai Wang in great detail about the vicious means of Zhen Guogong and the crown prince exalting him in the court, and asked Dai Wang to be careful when he returned to Beijing.

The Duke of Zhen also congratulated Dai Wang on the marriage between the youngest daughter of Kong Taichang.

When Kong Taichang heard Zhen Guogong say this, his heart skipped a beat, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Dai Wang and Xuan Ping Hou also thought that Zhen Guogong did not have good intentions when he mentioned this marriage.The two frowned slightly, and became alert in their hearts.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately waited with great interest for the next words from Lord Zhen Guo.

To everyone's surprise, Duke Zhen didn't say much about the marriage between Dai Wang and Kong Taichang's youngest daughter. offspring.

The Dai Wang got married the year before last and married the main concubine, but so far neither the main concubine nor the concubines have given birth to the Dai Wang.And His Royal Highness already has an eldest son.

Three months after the crown prince got married, the crown princess had good news, and she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor in the second year.Now, the prince's side concubine is pregnant, and the imperial physician diagnosed her as a young highness.

In terms of heirs, the prince temporarily won the acting king.

Although the acting king has been married for two years, most of him have been away to quell the chaos in the past two years. It is not surprising that the acting princess and the concubine are not pregnant.

When the ministers saw that the Dai Wang had no heirs, they didn't think there was anything.Dai Wang himself didn't pay much attention to this matter, but he also knew that there would be rumors in the court if there were no more children born.People from the prince's party will definitely attack him with regard to the heir.He has decided to stay in the capital this year, so that the princess and side princesses can conceive his child.

Originally, the fact that the king had no heirs was not a big deal, let alone a strange thing, but now that Duke Zhen talked about it, everyone suddenly felt that the matter had become a little different.

At this time, the eyes of everyone present looking at Dai Wang became a little subtle.Dai Wang naturally felt it, and his face darkened instantly.

At this time, the prince echoed Zhen Guogong's words, "Second brother, the most important task of your return this time is to quickly give birth to a grandson like your father." The prince said in a good brother's tone, "Next month, Kong Taichang Your youngest daughter is about to reach Ji, so you can marry her and give birth to a big fat grandson for your father as soon as possible."

When Xuan Pinghou heard this, his brows frowned slightly.His daughter is the main concubine of the Dai Wang, and she has not been pregnant for two years after marrying the Dai Wang.He didn't take this matter to heart. After all, Dai Wang spent very little time in the capital in the past two years, and it was normal for his daughter not to be pregnant.But now he doesn't think so.

If Kong Taichang's youngest daughter becomes pregnant first, his daughter's situation and status will be affected.

Xuan Pinghou knew in his heart how important Kong Taichang's youngest daughter was to Dai Wang.When Kong Taichang's youngest daughter enters Dai Wang's mansion, Dai Wang will definitely spoil her.Once Kong Taichang's youngest daughter is pregnant, she will become more and more important in Dai Wang's heart.This is not a good thing for his daughter.

The Confucius family is extremely important to Dai Wang.If Kong Taichang's youngest daughter was the first to give birth to the eldest son for Dai Wang, then... Thinking of this, Xuan Pinghou didn't think about it any further.Emotionally, he felt that in Dai Wang's heart, the Kong family was definitely not as important as their Yu family, after all, the Yu family was his mother family.Rationally, he also thought that Dai Wang would definitely use the Kong family more than Xuanpinghou's mansion in the future.

Thinking about it this way, Hou Xuanping suddenly felt that it would be unfavorable for their Yu family to marry the youngest daughter of Kong Taichang on behalf of the king.

Marquis Xuan Ping could think of this aspect, so Emperor Wu of Zhou naturally thought of it too.He originally thought that the Zhen Guo Guild would make a fuss about this marriage, but he didn't expect the Zhen Guo Gong to sow discord.

The corner of Zhou Wudi's mouth raised a smile of unknown meaning.

Dai Wang didn't think of this aspect, he thought it would be wrong for the prince and the Zhen Guo doll to laugh at him.

Man, how can you allow others to say no!

"Father, don't worry, my son will definitely give birth to a grandson for you this year!" If there is no good news from the palace this year, the whole world may think that he is not good.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little delicate.The ministers all lowered their heads and put on an expression of "they didn't hear anything".

The third prince and the others were stunned.They didn't expect things to develop like this.

Both the fourth prince and the eighth prince looked like they had nothing to do with them, while Zhao Yao lowered his head and ate the beef contentedly.

He not only ate, but also secretly took some away for Tong Xi to keep.After tonight's celebration banquet is over, he can still eat a few more meals of beef.

Zhao Yao thought that no one noticed his behavior of stealing beef.In fact, Emperor Wu of Zhou had already noticed it.

A smile appeared in Zhou Wudi's eyes, and he laughed and cursed in his heart: The brat is really promising.

He suddenly remembered that his elder brother had done such a thing before.Every time there is a meal, the eldest brother will secretly hide meat, snacks, and other delicious things, and then quietly bring them back for their younger brothers to eat.At that time, he was the youngest, and the eldest brother loved him and would give him the best food every time.

　Dai Wang: You can't do it, your whole family can't do it!
　　By the way, have the veterans applied for a tax refund?
