Chapter 359
As soon as this remark came out, the other seven cabinet ministers were silent for a while.Because of this incident, all of them have experienced it except Qian Xiangyu who entered the cabinet later.

As soon as Xuanyuantian ascended the throne, he appointed eight cabinet ministers in the court to participate in state affairs.

As soon as important matters were encountered, they were discussed by the cabinet before they were reported to the imperial study.

Once it is reported, it is basically a foregone conclusion. Most of the things determined by the cabinet are reached after discussions among civil and military officials.

At the beginning, they also discussed the matter of the prince who was born to the imperial concubine as the crown prince, but like now, they have discussed it solemnly.

Master Yun's face turned red even more, and he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal to this sentence.

After a while of silence, Master Wei slowly stood up and said to Qian Xiangyu.

"My lord Qian, even if the name is justified, don't forget that it was the Ninth Prince who led the Northwest Army and colluded with the Chidi barbarians to break through our two fortresses in Dayin and approach the capital of the Emperor Dayin! This crime is like treason!"

"Master Wei is right, the war has just ended, and the bones of those dead soldiers are still cold, so let's just forget it?!"

"Now, those Northwest Army are still stationed in Jinling City!"

The other two also echoed.

Master Yun finally regained some momentum, and said casually, "My lord, please don't bring your personal feelings into court affairs. Who knows, Lord Qian's daughter is married to the Ninth Prince. This matter, Lord Qian It is better to choose to remain silent, at the very least, avoid leisure, so as not to be accused of collaborating with the enemy."

A few ministers, you talk to each other, Qian Xiangyu stood quietly, waiting for them to finish.

"Your Excellency Qian is also discussing the matter as it stands. There is no need to fight among colleagues. We are all serving the Emperor. It is normal to have different opinions on this matter." Another cabinet minister, Lord Yue, said something.

"The Ninth Prince covets the crown prince's position, and it's only natural for the Third Prince to fight back." Master Yun immediately retorted.

"How can it be that the Ninth Prince covets the crown prince? The Ninth Prince was robbed and killed in Pinghua Mountain, and almost died in Huangquan. The Third Prince led the imperial army to directly surround Pinghua Mountain. Why did Lord Yun know about this matter? Could it be that the third prince can convince everyone by doing this?"

"The Northwest Army was originally an army directly under the Beimo royal family. It made great contributions during the chaos of the five kingdoms and six tribes! Back then, the emperor made a public promise to the Beimo army. If they really rebelled, why should they stay in Jialin?" ?” Qian Xiangyu also answered in a deep voice.

"Qian Xiangyu, what kind of logic is this? The war has lasted for so long, yet you still say it so easily. You, a rebellious minister, did you join the northwest rebels long ago?"

"Your Majesty Yun, be careful what you say. It's fine if you slander the official, but it's not good to be suspected of slandering the prince. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Qian Xiangyu! Stop playing tricks on me!" Master Yun roared angrily.

"Master Yun, please pay attention to your quality." Qian Xiangyu accused in a deep voice.

The meeting hall turned into a vegetable market. It has been arguing for several hours, but no conclusion has been drawn because of this matter.

The three, headed by Master Yun, stood up to restore the status of the third prince and prince, and the nine princes belonged to rebellious officials and bandits, and should be punished!

The three people headed by Qian Xiangyu believed that it was justified for the Ninth Prince to be canonized as the crown prince.

The eight cabinet ministers refused to give in to each other, and no one was willing to compromise!

Now, the third prince has not returned, and the ninth prince has never gone to court, and everything is still superficially peaceful.

However, everyone knew that it was absolutely impossible for this matter to end so simply.

If the third prince snatches back the crown prince, the ninth prince will become a traitor with no way out!
If the Ninth Prince maintains the crown prince position, the Third Prince will withdraw from the struggle for imperial power and stay away from the imperial capital, and the end can be imagined.

In the court hall, it seemed to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide was raging. Of course, the dependent Nalan clan moved closer to Lord Yun's side, and only by keeping the crown prince could they keep their glory and wealth.

And Qian Xiangyu has been in the cabinet for so many years, although he does not have so many disciples, and his foundation in the court is not as good as that of the Yun family and the Nalan family, but there are also many courtiers who have not been win over or have been excluded, and have identified the Ninth Prince. Qian Xiangyu expressed his attitude.

At this time, for Baiguan, it is the time to choose to stand in line. If you follow the right person, your official career will be stable and it is very likely to rise to the top.

If you don't stand well in the team, you may lose your official position, and you may lose your life!

The night gradually shrouded, and it had been many years, and the lights of the meeting hall had not been turned on so late.

After arguing for a whole day, there is no result. This matter can only be temporarily suppressed.

After Qian Xiangyu left the palace, he didn't go back directly to the mansion, but transferred to the new prince's mansion.

"My lord, my lord, please see me." Qinglong immediately came to report.

"Go and tell Qian Yue to go to the main hall." Xuanyuan Qing stood up and walked directly to the main hall.

Qian Xiangyu had already been welcomed into the main hall by Xi Qiu, and when he saw Qian Yue and Xuanyuan Qing coming side by side, he immediately stepped forward to salute, "See His Royal Highness, Crown Princess."

Qian Yue took a step forward and helped Qian Xiangyu up, "Why do you need so much courtesy here?"

"The emperor is the emperor, and the minister is the minister. No matter where you are, the etiquette of the emperor and the minister cannot be abolished." Qian Xiangyu said stubbornly.

Qian Yue noticed that his voice was a little hoarse, and his brows were full of exhaustion.

"Xi Qiu, go make some refreshing tea." Qian Yue told Xi Qiu.

"Yes." Xi Qiu stepped back immediately.

"Father-in-law, please." Xuanyuan Qing still called out as before, and his attitude towards Qian Xiangyu remained the same.

Qian Xiangyu's body trembled, and he almost fell to the ground. Qian Yue quickly supported him, and couldn't help but glared at Xuanyuan Qing.

"Your Highness, I took the liberty to come here tonight, so that His Highness can enter the court as soon as possible to govern." Qian Xiangyu directly expressed his intention.

"Join the court and govern?" Xuanyuan Qing was a little surprised that Qian Xiangyu came so late because of this matter.

However, the DPRK and China have been arguing endlessly about this matter, and he knows it.

When Qian Xiangyu came today, he also reminded him that now that he has come to this point, if Xuanyuan Cheng comes back, the battle for the crown prince is inevitable.

He has the Northwest Army as his backing, so he will not be restrained everywhere, but there are few in the court who can stand up and support his important ministers.

"As soon as the news came that the third prince was still alive, there was a lot of discussion in the court. It was a little urgent for His Highness to be named the crown prince. Even though he has not been deposed, the court has quite a few criticisms about the establishment of another crown prince."

Qian Xiangyu cleared the noise, and continued, "This is the first time in history that the emperor has referred this matter to the cabinet for reconsideration." Qian Xiangyu said slowly.

"What's the cabinet's opinion?" Xuanyuan Qing asked again.

"In the cabinet, the other three ministers also support His Highness, and there are three other ministers headed by Mr. Yun. The two sides support the same number and are at a stalemate. Today, the cabinet is arguing endlessly because of this matter. At present, our side His power is relatively weak, but rest assured, His Majesty, I will try my best to show His Majesty, so that His Highness can enter the court as soon as possible."

"Thank you father-in-law, please let him stand in a stalemate with Nalan's forces for a few more days. In less than half a month, when the third prince returns, I will have my own way to enter the court and listen to the government." Xuanyuan Qing's tone of decision sounded.

Qian Xiangyu was overjoyed, "Since His Highness has already made arrangements, it would be great."

"Master, here comes the tea, and this tea was collected by Miss herself." Xi Qiu put the tea away and stepped aside respectfully.

Qian Xiangyu picked it up and took a sip lightly, "Yes, the princess's tea is the best tea I've ever had."

This sentence is not a compliment, but a natural expression of a father's doting on his daughter.

Qian Yue smiled faintly, since the last time Qian Xiangyu sent her out of the city, her attitude towards Qian Xiangyu has undergone a big turning point.

She never thought that in the end, Qian Xiangyu would be the one who could help them greatly at this time!

When Qian Xiangyu was in court, he had always been wise and safe, and he followed Xuanyuantian's side, which can be said to be adhering to the way of being a minister.Now he suddenly stated his position, stood up Xuanyuan Qing, and made countless enemies in the court.

"Has father-in-law eaten?" Xuanyuan Qing asked.

"Not yet, but the house is ready. It's getting late, and I have to go back immediately." Qian Xiangyu stood up.

"If Feng Niang is waiting, then we won't stay." Qian Yue was no longer polite, and took the lamp from Xi Qiu's hand.

"Farewell." Qian Xiangyu bowed his hands to Xuanyuan Qing and retreated slowly.

Qian Yue followed Qian Xiangyu with a lamp, and personally sent him out of the house.

"It's really gratifying to see you like this now. A few days ago, I sent someone back to Huainan to renovate your mother's cemetery. If there is a chance in the future, let's go back together and burn incense sticks for your mother." Okay?" Qian Xiangyu suddenly turned around and looked at Qian Yue, with a bit of pleading on his face.

"Okay." Qian Yue nodded.

"After so many years, your mother is always in my heart, as if she never left. It's just that a few years ago, I was blinded by power, but in my heart, there is always something different about you and Qian Ming The relationship with Qian Ling, because you are the only daughter of me and your mother."

"I know." Qian Yue nodded.

"Don't send it off, Ye Fengliang, go back and rest." Qian Xiangyu walked down the steps slowly, and the carriage stopped in front of the mansion.

With the help of the dim light, Qian Yue looked at the stumbling figure, and she watched intently until the carriage disappeared into the dark night before slowly turning around.

She believed what Qian Xiangyu said now, because at the beginning, when she abolished Qian Ming, Qian Xiangyu didn't pursue it, and didn't even punish him. Apart from other things, he must have been partial to her.

However, the more this happened, the more she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.
