Chapter 157 Collusion (1)
Since Huien was established as the crown prince, a subtle change began to appear in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is a rumor that has been circulating in the streets and alleys of Haojing. The position of the mother of the country is not justified.

"Who is talking behind his back? Let my ears be clean for a day!" Ming Gong was sitting on a soft couch in the Jingxin Hall of Chaoyang Palace, looking at Lu Kai who stood tremblingly in front of him, and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. This must be due to dissatisfaction among important ministers in the court, and it must have caused random speculation." Lu Kai vaguely replied.

"What does it mean to be dissatisfied? Could it be that I shouldn't establish a crown prince? Is it necessary for me to have no successor in the future before I can thank my ancestors?" Ming Gonghu raised his face and said angrily.

"Your Majesty's anger is not only about questioning the crown prince, but the most important thing is that the crown prince's biological mother and concubine are still there, so he has a stepmother, and the crown prince's stepmother is not the empress of the palace." Lu Kai said hesitantly.

"Nonsense! Could it be that I arrange my own family affairs without outsiders interfering? Is I the emperor who dominates the world and holds great power?" Mingong was suddenly furious.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger. Of course, I dare not say such things, but rumors and rumors are the most terrifying thing to spread everywhere. I am worried that once someone with evil intentions forms a clique and makes trouble by taking advantage of the establishment of the crown prince, it will be self-defeating. "Lu Kai's face was pale, and he knelt down and said.

"Lu Kai, what exactly do you mean? Could it be that it is justified to let the empress of the palace raise Hui En? Tell me, is this the idea?" Mingong thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but understand Lu Kai's intention.

"This, I didn't say anything, I was just worried that someone would use this matter to cause trouble, so I was worried about it. Please don't take it to heart." Lu Kai replied tactfully.

"Hmph, Lu Kai, you mean, you want me to make a new queen?" Ming Gong frowned and asked tentatively.

"This, I don't dare to talk nonsense, please think twice, Your Majesty." Lu Kai quickly shook his head.

With his hands behind his back, Ming Gong stared at Lu Kai for a long while, then waved his hands to make him step back.

the next day.In the early dynasty, Zhou Jing, the imperial historian, Feng He, the Chinese doctor, and others suddenly joined forces to impeach Cheng Rong, the doctor, for interfering in internal affairs.

"Qizuo Your Majesty, Your Majesty Cheng Rong is deeply favored by the country, but he does not want to repay him. Instead, he tries to control the government and secretly instigates the courtiers to be dissatisfied with His Majesty's establishment of a crown prince. Your Majesty, please punish Cheng Rong immediately!" ground attack.

Ming Gong took the memorandum presented by Xiao Ruzi, flipped through it, and couldn't help laughing, and said to Cheng Rong: "Master Cheng Rong, if someone impeaches you for misconduct, I don't have to believe it, but more than More than a dozen high-ranking ministers joined you in unison, what else do you have to say?"

"Well, my lord, although there was a saying in the ancients that three people become tigers, right is right and evil is evil. No matter how many people collude with each other to insult your ministers, the truth is only in the hands of a few." Cheng Rong said with a smile on his face. .

"Really? Since Mr. Cheng is so confident, please explain to yourself why so many ministers say you are dissatisfied with the crown prince?" Ming Gong raised his eyebrows and asked Cheng Rong.

"Naturally, it's because some people don't like the new policy of the imperial court, and they are planning to use some chaos to make troubles. The imperial court has to measure the land and re-establish the tax system for the people to live and work in peace. It is not a strange thing for those who denounce the chaos of the government to make the old-fashioned ministers hate and unite to attack the ministers." Cheng Rong smiled and answered easily with his hands clasped.
