Chapter 13

"Haha! Your Majesty is joking! The fifth younger brother has such a flirtatious temper. He always dislikes palace banquets and says he is very restrained. However, this time he missed Concubine Li's sword dance and failed to look at Xiao Yu's painting. It is really a disadvantage!" Ning Wang said.

Queen Wang didn't speak for a long time, but now she said: "I can't change this arrogant temper anywhere! I don't believe that the floating flowers in the brothel and Chuguan outside can compare with this innocent girl from a good family! Those floating flowers Langrui knows how to serve people with a smile, how can he be sincere! Eldest brother should persuade fifth younger brother not to be nostalgic!" He said Xue Wang and Li Ye, but in fact he was referring to Sang and Huai.

After hearing this, Concubine Zhao Li was furious, her two spring-like eyebrows were twisted together, her right hand holding the white jade cup trembled slightly, and she was no longer as coquettish as before.She was originally the dancer Li Longji stayed in for Luzhou Biejia. When she was a child, she was sold into the brothel Chuguan. Taking care of her, even a decent woman would dare to show her off. She suffered a lot at home and developed a cruel and merciless temperament.It wasn't until Li Longji doted on her regardless of her status that she was able to get rid of the embarrassing situation, became the most honorable concubine Li as the first-rank concubine, and gave birth to children for the royal family.

Because these past events were taboo, no one dared to bring them up in front of her. At this time, the Queen was sarcastically speaking to the royal family and ministers and wives.

Li Longji saw that Queen Wang even blamed himself, he couldn't help feeling displeased, and snorted softly, but he couldn't bear to scold his first wife loudly in public.

King Ning is used to being a peacemaker. Seeing that Li Longji was unwavering, he hurriedly said: "My brother and sister are the fifth brother's sister-in-law. It is common sense to say a few words to blame him. Brother must bring the words to him and let him go back to Xing'an Square to reflect on himself."

At that time, Empress Wang satirized Concubine Zhao Li with great arrogance, but she didn't expect that her words were not appropriate, so she took Li Longji in. Seeing that King Ning gave her the steps, there was no reason not to be grateful, and she hurriedly said: "I also care about five Brother, then I would like to thank my elder brother for speaking with him."

Master Xiao saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, his eyeballs rolled around a few times, and he stepped forward and said: "The concubine Li has given birth to your majesty's heirs, and she has contributed a lot. A few days ago, I heard from Zhang that the prime minister praised the prince Ying. His literary talent is outstanding, very similar to His Majesty!"

"Really! It seems that this child is getting better and better!" Li Longji was also very happy when he mentioned Prince Ying. He was favored by Li Longji.

Master Xiao saw that Li Longji was interested, so he decided to get off the donkey and finish the important matter, so as to make a great contribution in front of Concubine Li. Siyi surrendered, and today is a great day for the whole country to celebrate, why not make this prince Ying the crown prince, so that everyone can feel at ease!"

"Shh..." There was commotion in the hall, the establishment of the crown prince was a major matter related to the country, those ministers were dizzy from drinking, and suddenly they all became energetic after hearing this, some whispered, some exchanged eyes, some listened, This is a major matter related to wealth and life, so don't be careless!

Queen Wang didn't expect Concubine Zhao Li to have such a strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. She was born in the general family, and she didn't have the wisdom of other women in the palace. Her biological brother Wang Shouyi was far away in Luzhou. The countermeasure was to blindly wink at Concubine Liu Hua.

Although the matter of setting up a prince is a family matter, it is also a state matter.The harem concubines did not have too much right to interfere, at this moment Concubine Liu Hua's back was wet, but she did not dare to intervene rashly.

Chang Xi stood by the throne, looking at the various expressions of everyone in the audience, but he was enough to be a spectator!Whether it's Concubine Zhao Li's eager anticipation, Concubine Liu Hua's melancholy, or Prince Ning's people watching from the sidelines, they all have a panoramic view.

All eyes were on Li Longji alone, seeing him pondering for a while, he asked, "Zhang said, what do you think!"

As early as Lord Xiao proposed Li Ying, the son of Concubine Li, to be the crown prince, Prime Minister Zhang Shuo began to think about it secretly, thinking that this old fox Xiao was too unreasonable, and he would not discuss such a big matter with himself, and Li Longji would definitely Ask yourself, I have already figured it out.Queen Wang was Li Longji's wife to the Crown Princess when Ruizong was alive, and he also contributed a lot. It would be beneficial to him if he could continue to be the middle palace.However, Concubine Zhao Li is His Majesty's favorite concubine, and she is in the limelight, so she can't beat her directly, so she said: "The empress is in the middle palace, and has always been dignified and virtuous. , I have never lost anything, even though I have no children now, how can I know the future..."

Listening to his words, Empress Wang felt a little bitter in her heart. Although she was born in a general family and was physically strong, she didn't know why she couldn't have a child. Seeing that Concubine Zhao Li, Concubine Liu Hua, Guo Shunyi and others all gave birth to princes for Li Longji, How could she not be in a hurry?I was relieved to hear Prime Minister Zhang praise her for her generosity and kindness, and I secretly missed him, but Zhang changed his words and said: "However, Concubine Li is a natural beauty, and she is always by your majesty's side, and she is here for your majesty's birthday. It is really hard work to raise a prince! This matter of establishing a prince, the old minister thought about it for a while, but he couldn't solve it, and I hope His Majesty will make a decision!"

"Old fox!" Li Longji, Queen Wang, and Concubine Zhao Li all scolded him in unison in their hearts, secretly thinking that he is old and cunning!

All the ministers secretly raised their thumbs and praised: Seeing how superbly Prime Minister Zhang is using Tai Chi, it is so clever to go back and forth and push it back to His Majesty. No wonder he is able to be the Prime Minister.
"In my opinion, Prince Ying is young and intelligent, and he is worthy of great responsibility..." Li Longji pondered for a while, and finally expressed his decision.

After hearing this, Queen Wang felt an inexplicable fear, and this fear quickly filled every part of her body like a rushing tide.

Concubine Zhao Li's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, she is really smiling, her brows and eyes are full of smiles.Thinking that I really live up to myself for planning so hard today!Once Ying'er becomes the crown prince, relying on His Majesty's love for her, the position in the middle palace is still within reach!In a trance, she seemed to see herself wearing a queen's gown and a phoenix crown, standing side by side with her beloved, accepting worship from all over the world, how honorable it is!As for the old lady the queen, let her die in the cold palace!

"Your Majesty!" When the people in the hall were thinking about each other, they suddenly saw a blue shadow flashing, and a middle-aged official flashed into the hall, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty! You must not make Prince Ying the crown prince!"

"Huh?" Li Longji was interrupted before he finished speaking, which has never happened since he ascended the throne!Who is so bold, dare to offend the sanctity?Looking intently, I couldn't remember who he was for a while?

"My minister Zhang Jiuling, I beg your majesty to take back your order! The prince Ying was not born to the queen. Once he becomes the prince, he will definitely shake the middle palace. The instability of the middle palace will definitely lead to turmoil in the court. If the court is in turmoil and the officials are eccentric, your majesty has exhausted all his efforts to build it. The prosperity of the Great Tang Dynasty will be ruined!" Zhang Jiuling said righteously.

Before everyone could recover, he said again: "On the other hand, Concubine Zhao Li, as a favorite concubine, covets the Central Palace, colludes with Zhongshu's servant Xiao Qing, and plots to become the crown prince. But you don't want to be loyal to the country, and you blindly please and act good, please punish me severely!" Zhang Jiuling said loudly with his eyes broken.

For a while, the prime minister, the servant, and the concubine were all humiliated by him scolding.The whole hall was intimidated by his awe-inspiring aura, and no one dared to speak.

Zhang Jiuling? ! !Chang Xi saw the author of "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" in the second-year Chinese textbook of the People's Education Edition kneeling in front of the hall in such an upright manner, "The bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this moment" must have been written by him!Poetry is well written, people are more kind!
"Your Majesty!" A woman's sharp voice passed through the hall, and everyone was horrified: "Your Majesty, why don't you kill this officer!!" Concubine Zhao Li suddenly stood up regardless of her status and sternly reprimanded her, her pink face covered with a layer of frost.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that Zhang Jiuling was about to be pushed out, and yes, offending these three people would be fruitful for you?Be your official, what's the matter with the "adult" and the small official will intervene.
