Wei Chen is happy

Chapter 227

(Big chapter presented)
There were too many people who couldn't sleep that night. Jing Yao outside the palace was lying alone on the bed, feeling sad, Jing Heng was tossing and turning alone in the Mingguang Palace, Yun Rong fell asleep in the bathtub crying, and the little guy was lying on the couch He also cried and fell asleep. Chunni patted his head beside him, and found that the pillow towel was wet. She was so distressed that she burst into tears. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and found that Mianru and a little maid were carrying him. Seeing Yunrong approaching, they were busy again, watching their mother and son resting.

In the early morning of the second day, when Jing Heng woke up with a headache and a swollen face, Qiu Lin waited on him carefully for a long time before accompanying him to court.

Today is the first day of the new year when the court opens. It stands to reason that the emperor should be refreshed and have a good time with everyone, but this year is really strange. The plague broke out not long after the new year. With the face of the pot bottom, all the ministers were in a state of panic, and their expressions were a little nervous.

No matter how bad his mood was, Jing Heng was still a wise man. He congratulated all the officials with a forced smile, and after saying a few beautiful words, he asked about recent state affairs.

At this time, Shang Shu Zuo Pushe took the lead to stand up and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, the report will be reported early this morning, and the epidemic situation in the south of the Yangtze River has stabilized!"

"Okay!" Jing Henglong Yan Dayue, finally heard good news, he can breathe a sigh of relief after worrying for many days.

Then Jing Heng ordered the six departments to work together to arrange the plague.All the ministers played the court affairs for half noon, and when it was almost time for the next court, Jing Heng took a deep breath and asked with a smile: "All my loves, do you have something to play, if you have nothing to do, go back to the court!"

As soon as Jing Heng finished speaking, someone suddenly stepped forward and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Speak!" Jing Heng raised his sleeves,
"According to the decree, since your Majesty ascended the throne, the country has been prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Your Majesty's achievements are unprecedented, and there will be no one to come. However, if the country lasts for a long time, it must first consolidate the foundation of the country..." The man paused when he said this,
Jing Heng's pupils shrank, and he squinted his eyes. This person is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he is usually close to Chu Xu. When he said this, Jing Heng already knew what he was going to say.

The court hall became quiet in an instant, so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard!
"Therefore, I affirm that Your Majesty will appoint a crown prince to reassure the people!" The Minister of the Ministry of Officials bowed forcefully at last.

After he finished speaking for a long time, none of the officials said anything, and the court was completely silent.
This person was the first person in the dynasty to propose the appointment of a crown prince to the emperor!All the ministers know that Jing Heng is the last thing anyone wants to mention the appointment of the crown prince.
The Chu family is powerful, so he has to consider the consequences of making the eldest son of the emperor the crown prince. What if the Chu family's relatives monopolize power in the future, and even have the heart of a wolf?
This is the reason why Jing Heng didn't want to establish a prince for a long time. After Yun Rong gave birth to Jing Wenyue, he didn't want to establish a prince anymore, because he doted on his youngest son, and because Jing Wenyue was better than Jing Ren!Yun Mu, a brother of the Yun family, is a boring gourd who can only fight, Yun Zheng is a refined and gentle master, and Jing Wenyue, the two uncles, are not people who exercise power, but Chu Xu is different. Although he has no son-in-law, he has several son-in-law , and many nephews, all of them are fierce generals and officials. On the surface, Chu Xu gave in everywhere, but secretly the children of the Chu family were all holding important positions.

The palace is the Chu family's world, and there are probably nearly half of the courtiers outside the palace supporting the Chu family!

If the Chu family's thorn is not pulled out, how will his country be stable!

Jing Heng smiled faintly, and glanced at the ministers, "What do you think?" The voice was very calm, without any displeasure.

Some ministers felt that the emperor really wanted to make a crown prince, so several of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to make the eldest son the crown prince!"

"Your Majesty, please make the eldest son the crown prince!"

Soon, more than a dozen courtiers knelt down!
hehe!Jing Heng sneered, all the courtiers who can enter the Taiji East Hall are the courtiers of the humerus. It seems that Chu Xu has put in a lot of effort.

Jing Heng glanced at Meng Yan who stood at the front on the left and Chu Xu who stood at the front on the right without changing his expression.

Chu Xu looked calm and kept his eyes down, as if he didn't hear what everyone was saying at all. As for Meng Yan, the old fox was an important minister of the three dynasties. He and Yun Xiaotian assisted Jing Heng's grandfather to found Dahuan , but not long after his grandfather passed away, the late emperor succeeded to the throne, and the two continued to accompany the late emperor to fight the world, but it was a pity that one was too sharp and died before the end, and the other was neither humble nor arrogant, and worked hard for the country and the people.

Meng Yan shook his white beard, but frowned, as if in deep thought.

"It seems that all the ministers agree with each other?"

After Jing Heng said these words, some shrewd courtiers blinked their eyes and smelled something.

"General Chu, what do you think?" Jing Heng cast his eyes on Chu Xu,

Chu Xu bowed and stood on one side but smiled wryly in his heart, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

The meaning of the palace has also spread, and the Chu family has been forced to retreat. In this case, they can only bite the bullet!
"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"

Just five words, no extra words, no extra expressions, this is Chu Xu's consistent style!

It was Chu Xu who everyone was familiar with. As for the minister who was stopped by Chu Ruoxi at the Chu Mansion to see Chu Xu coaxing his daughter that day, I thought that Chu Xu must have taken the wrong medicine that day!In other words, they were blinded and deaf!In short, this is the normal General Chu, who never procrastinates!
"Okay!" Jing Heng praised loudly and kept nodding, "In that case, then I..."

Just when all the ministers thought that the emperor was going to order the crown prince on the spot, and they all looked at him with their necks raised, a person floated out and interrupted Jing Heng.
"It must not be done!" Meng Yan stood up vigorously and knelt down, "Bold minister, please don't be in a hurry to establish a crown prince!"

Jing Heng's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth slightly smiled, and he was very appreciative in his heart,
Meng Yan is worthy of being Meng Yan. As soon as he stood up, a large number of officials knelt down immediately, including the treacherous-looking Doctor Yushi, Guozijian Jijiu and other important officials.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, so it is not advisable to establish a crown prince too early!"

Jing Heng smiled lightly and didn't say a word. He saw only a few people standing in the court hall, the servant Chu Xu, the minister of household affairs Gu Kaizhi, and the servant of the military department Yun Zheng!
Yun Zheng, hehe, Jing Heng is very satisfied. At this time, Yun Zheng did not oppose the establishment of the crown prince, but stayed out of the matter. It can be seen that the Yun family has a certain degree of progress and retreat, and has no intention of gaining power from his relatives.

Everyone knew that his younger sister was the only one who favored the harem and occupied the emperor for three whole years!Many people even joked in private that his nephew, fifth prince Jing Wenyue, would be the future prince, but every time Yun Zheng heard this, he would beat him out with a club!

After Yun Xiaotian was born in the Yun family, only Yun Rong was as arrogant as him. The other children, including Yun Han back then, were never arrogant in favor of favors.

In the end, Jing Heng waved away all the officials, leaving only one person to go to the imperial study with him.

That person is Meng Yan, the elder of the Three Dynasties!At this moment, there are only two of them in the imperial study room!One sits behind the case and the other kneels aside.

"Meng Xiang's body is really sharp, and he can keep up with my footsteps!" Jing Heng poured a cup of tea for Meng Yan himself, and said with a smile,
Meng Yan was apprehensive, thanking him again and again, the old fox is an old fox, and the respectful gesture of pouring tea in front of Jing Heng himself was impeccable.

"The old minister is old, how can he keep up with His Majesty's dragon steps, he has to be careful and run fast!" Meng Yan replied cautiously,

"Today, Prime Minister Meng categorically opposes the establishment of a crown prince, which is not in line with Xiang Meng's usual style. Can Prime Minister Meng give me an explanation?" Jing Heng also poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

Meng Yan is a very strange person. It is said that no courtier can match his qualifications. According to his ability, it can be said that nearly one-third of the ministers of the Three Lives and Six Departments have worked under him and have been trained by him. His ability to govern It can be called the first in the dynasty!

Back then, he and Yun Xiaotian, one was thick and the other was thin, and the other was able to plan and make good decisions!In fact, in Jing Heng's view, Yun Xiaotian is peerless, but Meng Yan is not inferior to him at all, it's just that some people are good at working behind the scenes, and others cannot see his achievements.

But such a person, he is silent, does not fight or grab, no matter how much credit he has, he is always respectful and respectful in front of the emperor. Jing Heng has sincere admiration for him, such a person is the emperor's favorite courtier!
Hearing this, Meng Yan's expression turned serious, and he thought to himself, he has been in politics for most of his life, he knows when Jing Heng wants to hear what he wants to hear, and he also knows when to speak the truth. Derived!

So he didn't avoid Jing Heng's inquiring gaze, and replied frankly: "Your Majesty, the Chu family is lush, with big trees and deep roots, and holds military power. If it is the prince's mother's family, there may be disasters for foreign relatives!"

Meng Yan's words revealed the truth, and it's so rare that he didn't hide it, which is really impressive!

Didn't the old fox always sing and accompany Chu Xu, and today he finally showed his fox tail?Jing Heng secretly smiled.

Meng Yan smiled wryly. The reason why he has a good relationship with Chu Xu on weekdays is that one is drafting the draft of the Zhongshuling, and the other is deliberating with the servant. It can be said that they cooperated seamlessly, which saved Jing Heng a lot of effort.But that was only for the efficiency of the government. From a real standpoint, would the Meng family favor the Chu family?That is absolutely impossible, the Chu family has military generals, and his Meng Yan disciples are all over the world!
Now that Concubine Meng has given birth to a daughter, and the Meng family has no suspicion of being coerced by his relatives, he can let go of his hands and feet. There are quite a lot of men in the Meng family, and each of them has an extraordinary temperament. In addition, Meng Yan's governance is stricter, and the children and nephews in the family have inherited Taking advantage of his respectful and introverted qualities, as for Concubine Meng, it was because she only gave birth to such a prostitute, so she was favored by the heavens.

But now, Meng Yan knows that he can no longer keep a low profile, and watch the Chu family grow day by day, and the government is unstable. Although this country was brought down by Jing Heng, most of it depends on these Humerus is a capable courtier, and Meng Yan is second to none among them. Meng Yan, Du Ming, and Jing Heng also know this.

Meng Yan didn't want Da Huan to be unstable, and besides, he had secretly shown Jing Ren that the eldest son of the emperor was really not a man with the world in mind, what if he became the throne and wiped out the heroes?
In short, Meng Yan thought about it carefully, Jing Ren is not suitable to be a prince!Delaying the establishment of a crown prince is to wait for the selection of talents in the future, and secondly, maybe Concubine Meng will have a chance to give birth to a son?Of course, the most important thing is that he knows that Jing Heng needs someone who can compete with Chu Xu at this time, and the most suitable person is himself!

As a subject, he will always solve the most troublesome things for the emperor. This is the magic weapon that Meng Yan has proudly stood in the court for decades and has been praised by the emperors of all dynasties!
Meng Yan is a smart man, and Jing Heng is also a smart man. It is very easy for a smart man to talk to a smart man. After Meng Yan said such a sentence, Jing Heng stopped asking. He knew that Meng Yan was standing for him. Check and balance Chu's first line!

Afterwards, the monarchs and ministers said something casually, and Jing Heng asked about Meng Yan's physical condition, and then ordered Qiu Lin to send Meng Yan back home with his shoulders!
When Meng Yan heard this decree, he suddenly trembled, two lines of tears rolled out, pray again and again!
Yun Xiaotian was the No.1 who drove out of the palace on his shoulders!
After 30 years, he finally enjoys the same treatment as his best friend!
Everyone in the world thought that the two of them were at odds, because most of the time Meng Yan's achievements would be attributed to Yun Xiaotian!But only he himself knows that Yun Xiaotian is a man of temperament, and Meng Yan admires his unrestrained and unrestrained style the most. The two of them regard each other as confidantes. The good story of "Yun Xiaotian and Mengduan" is the best testimony of their friendship!

The news that Meng Yan was driven out of the palace by Jing Hengci's shoulders was quickly spread, and even the concubines in the inner courtyard of the deep palace knew about it.

Concubine Meng brightened up, pinching her handkerchief and asked in surprise, "Is what you said true?"

The court lady lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's absolutely true. Concubine Rong was almost knocked down when she was swimming in lanterns last night, but was rescued by the Seventh Prince, who even hugged her!"

"Okay!" Concubine Meng clenched the word, her almond eyes narrowed, and she was very proud, her face that had been gloomy for a long time finally regained its radiance!
　What I yearn for in this book is that there are some legendary people. Although they are not written positively, I can always imagine their high-spirited spirit and their passionate passion to venture into the world together. Inadvertently, I have created so many characters who only live in memory , this is also a kind of emotion
