Chapter 298: Can Wu Meiniang be the queen?
After Wu Meiniang's horse training, the central ministers who witnessed the whole process had to re-examine this woman who was just a talented person now.

All the ministers had different opinions on such a concubine.

During dinner, Li Chengdao stayed with the ministers to eat together as usual, and inevitably the conversation came about Wu Meiniang.

"This girl is truly the most amazing woman I have ever seen."

Wei Zheng recalled the scene during the day and couldn't help but stroke his beard and said.

Fang Xuanling also smiled and said: "I thought that my wife was already very tough, but after meeting Wu Cairen today, my horizons have been opened."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, but Changsun Wuji frowned and looked worried.

Seeing his expression, Li Chengdao couldn't help but smile and asked: "Auxiliary machine, what's wrong with you?"

After hearing Li Chengdao's words, Changsun Wuji raised his head. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Your Majesty, I thought... this daughter of Wu Cairen stayed in the harem, and now she has won your Majesty's favor. If this continues, I am afraid that your Majesty will let you down in the future." The harem is restless.”

Changsun Wuji's words are actually against the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.

The harem is the emperor's private matter, and ministers cannot talk nonsense, but Changsun Wuji still chose to tell the truth.

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, the other ministers turned their gazes over one after another, with surprise in their eyes.

Commenting on the emperor's harem is not something Changsun Wuji would do.

Li Chengdao didn't care about Changsun Wuji's violation of etiquette. Instead, he smiled lightly and asked, "Why did the auxiliary machine say this?"

After listening to Li Chengdao's question, Changsun Wuji did not hesitate and said directly: "The martial artist is resourceful enough to help the country, but his personality is too domineering.

If she were a man, she would be a pillar of the country, but she is a girl and has entered His Majesty's harem... I can't imagine how the concubines in His Majesty's harem will deal with themselves if she becomes a queen one day. "

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the dinner table solidified.

Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji in surprise.

Changsun Wuji's expression remained unchanged and his eyes were very firm. The reason why he said this was because he felt an inexplicable threat from Wu Meiniang.

In his opinion, a woman like Wu Meiniang was extraordinary, and her scheming methods were even more terrifying. If she became the queen one day, what would the eldest grandson Wugou and the current eldest son of the emperor, Li Yu, do?
Therefore, whether it was for the sake of his eldest grandson Wugao or for the eldest grandson's family, he wanted to suppress Wu Meiniang.

After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Li Chengdao held the wine glass. There was no emotion or anger on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

At this time, Jia Xu smiled softly and said: "I think Brother Fuji is unfounded. He is so afraid of women who are less than [-] years old."

"My opinion is different from that of Brother Fu Ji. Except for Queen Deshan, most of the concubines in the harem do not have the magnanimity of a mother to respect the world. This martial artist has extraordinary courage and is extremely intelligent. He is a good choice for the queen."

Having said this, Jia Xu smiled, cupped his hands to Li Chengdao and said, "Of course, these are just my lies. Everything still depends on His Majesty's judgment."

Li Chengdao has not established a queen for more than ten years since he took the throne, which makes many people puzzled and curious about who will end up with this queen.

But this ultimately depends on Li Chengdao’s own wishes.

Changsun Wuji and Jia Xu had a tit-for-tat confrontation, which made the other ministers shut up. This kind of thing is not easy to talk about casually, and it is not good to lean on either side.

At this moment, Li Chengdao put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Look at each of you, as important ministers of the central government, how nervous you are made by a woman."

"Let's eat first, lest the dinner gets cold later."

Everyone could tell that Li Chengdao was trying to smooth things over. He was neither biased towards Jia Xu nor Changsun Wuji, which was a typical emperor's mentality.

Changsun Wuji and Jia Xu handed over their hands and confessed, and then began to eat.

However, Changsun Wuji tasted this exquisite dinner like chewing wax and did not know the taste. …

After dinner, all the ministers resigned and left, but after Jia Xu left, he walked around and returned to the imperial study.

Li Chengdao was studying in the imperial study, and was not surprised to see Jia Xu back.

"Why do you think the auxiliary machine said those words today?"

Li Chengdao asked without raising his head.

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "Empress Zhaoyuan has now given birth to a prince for Your Majesty. If nothing else happens, the one who will inherit the throne in the future will be the eldest prince. But the appearance of Wu Cairen today made him feel threatened."

"Wu Cai is extremely courageous, domineering and has the favor of His Majesty. If she ascends to the throne, it may not be a good thing for Empress Zhaoyuan and the eldest prince. Lord Changsun's concern is only human."

Hearing this, Li Chengdao couldn't help but look up at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "If Fuji knows that you have told him everything in his heart, I'm afraid he will have to cut off his relationship with you."

"I'm just telling the truth. The only one I'm loyal to is Your Majesty."

Jia Xu folded his sleeves with his hands and had a faint smile on his face.

Jia Xu, the servant, is feared by all the officials in the court. Maybe he was drinking and laughing with you last night, but the next day he led the shadow guards to ransack your home.

The right to supervise hundreds of officials and kill them first and then report them is the highest honor and the greatest trust the emperor has in his ministers.

Based on this alone, all the officials in the court knew how much the emperor trusted this poisonous man.

"So what do you think? Are those words you said tonight true?"

Li Chengdao put down the book in his hand and turned to Jia Xu.

"Do you think Wu Mei... can be a queen?"

"Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth or lies?"

"What's the difference?"

"The truth is, it can be used later, but Your Majesty needs to start beating her and destroy some of her edge. This woman is indeed too domineering."

"That's just a lie. It all depends on His Majesty's decision. I dare not lie."

Jia Xu replied seriously.

Although he was surprised that Li Chengdao actually had the idea of ​​making Wu Meiniang his queen, he didn't ask any more questions and just expressed his opinion.

From his point of view, Wu Meiniang did meet the standards of a queen. Although she was a little younger, only such a woman could control the harem.

Nowadays, the harem relies on the presence of the Queen Mother Zheng Guanyin to maintain a harmonious scene.

But if Zheng Guanyin is gone one day, then the harem will probably become a place where the major families compete for power.

Although Queen Deshan was once a queen, she had no fundamental power in the Tang Dynasty, and she was a foreigner, so the position of queen was not her turn.

That's why he was very optimistic about the martial artist who tamed the fierce horse today.

There is a kind of person, even if his current status is not high, he can still see the potential contained in him, and thus roughly judge his future height.

Jia Xu and Changsun Wuji saw exactly this in Wu Meiniang.
