Chapter 165 Unexpected (2)
"Master Sun, where did you hear that?" Cheng Rong frowned, looking at Uncle Sun strangely.

"It has been spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. Your Excellency is always well-informed. Haven't you heard of it? Now more than half of the colleagues in the court are discussing this matter." Uncle Sun worried.

"It's heard, I can't help deliberating, Mr. Sun, don't worry, since the position of the crown prince has been decided, there is no reason to waver. Once the king asks, we will answer like this." Cheng Rong said with confidence.

The court bell rang faintly, and the officials went to the court one after another in the misty fragrance of the imperial court. Minggong sat on the throne with a sullen expression on his face. Cheng Rong's eyes were sharp, and he could see Minggong's full of anger at once. Sure enough, after the officials paid their respects, Minggong Then he was furious at everyone: "Who is talking nonsense, saying that the abolished prince Chuxiu will return to the capital and inherit the crown prince? The widow no longer has this son! Besides, his mother, Empress Jiang, has been staying in the cold palace. What qualifications do you have?" Inherit the throne?"

"The courtiers are terrified. This is really nothing." The courtiers were frightened and expressed their opinions.

"Since it's a false statement, you still say you have nose and eyes, do you still have widows in your eyes?" Ming Gong blew his beard and stared angrily, but did not appease his anger.

"My lord, the rumors are not terrible, the most terrible thing is the people's hearts. Now, the imperial court is carrying out reforms, and the frontiers are returning the territory at the same time. Many places have been cleared of land and are directly controlled by the imperial court. Therefore, the princes and nobles who have suffered are angry. Injustice, I always want to find some reason to make trouble, so I think that this is the cause of someone spreading rumors. Since the court is upright, it doesn't have to treat rumors as scourges and ignore them. Naturally, I will no longer believe in those rumors." Cheng Rong analyzed seriously.

"Well, Doctor Cheng Rong made it clear, so let's do it this way." Mingong couldn't help smiling, and nodded in greeting.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Uncle Qihou is the backer of the abolished crown prince. In addition to the local officials, more than [-]% are complaining for the abolished crown prince. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible not to cut the grass and root out the roots. I suggest that the court should send assassins. Assassinate the deposed prince, so as to avoid future troubles forever!" Prime Minister Wang Zhi raised his imperial wat and objected loudly.

"Yes, what the prime minister said is right, what if the abolished prince brings Qihou's army to force the palace?" Under the court hall, the courtiers were discussing.

"Retire!" Ming Gong was furious, waved his sleeves, ordered Xiao Ruzi to block the officials, and returned to the harem with his hands behind his back.

After a few days, as expected, some local Hou Ye and courtiers wrote letters criticizing the imperial court for ill-treating the abolished prince, abolishing the elders and establishing the young, and the memorials were sent directly to the Jianjia Palace. Seeing these contents, he was so angry that he slammed the table, scaring Ah Xi, who was standing beside him, to be alert.

"It's really crazy! Do you want them to point fingers at the establishment of the crown prince?" Mingong gasped indignantly.

Bao Si frowned, quickly took the memorial in Ming Gong's hand, looked carefully, and couldn't help saying happily: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the establishment of a crown prince is also a major event in the world, why does your Majesty not allow your ministers to raise some opinions? What’s more, the abolished prince is indeed more conspicuous in Qi State, and it’s common for a few officials who have nothing to do to complain about this, so it’s not worth getting angry about.”

"Yes, Si'er, you are open-minded, but if these rebellious officials and thieves take advantage of this to invade the palace, wouldn't you lose face?" Ming Gong calmed down, and looked at Bao Si with crooked eyes.

"It's not difficult, the king just needs to give a deposed prince the title, such as making him a king." Bao Si tried to come up with an idea.

"Well, it's a good way to entrust a vassal state to the abolished prince, so that the status of the monarch and his subjects will be certain, and the widow can sleep peacefully." Ming Gong said overjoyed.

"It's unreasonable. I didn't expect Baosi to be so cunning. I was planning to mobilize the local dignitaries to write a letter to attack Baosi and frame the prince. I didn't expect that she would persuade the king to seal the abolition of the prince as a vassal state." Chonghua Palace, Concubine Jin received The secret report from the imperial court was furious in front of Concubine Ge.

"I heard that more than [-] ministers jointly praised Wang Shangying this time. It seems that Bao Si's plan has succeeded." Ge Fei gritted her teeth.
