“The matter of conferring a king is a custom after all. Although we want to object, Your Majesty has already made his mind clear. If we speak out rashly to object at this time, it may cause His Majesty’s displeasure to His Majesty the Crown Lady.”

While the other families were looking for ways to crown their Highnesses as kings, members of Zhao Ji’s family were also discussing how to deal with it. For several days, the private discussions had never ceased.

“It’s unreasonable. Your highnesses are all guilty of crimes. It’s fine if your majesty hasn’t convicted them for a long time. Now you want to grant them fiefdoms and let them be kings. This is really, really——ah!”

“Because His Majesty has not been convicted of the crime for a long time, it is not difficult to erase it in one fell swoop. I think His Majesty has already planned…”

“Then watch His Majesty let the tiger go back to the mountain like this?”

“Old Xu, calm down. They are all veterans who have stood in the court for decades, why are they still blowing up like a firecracker? In my opinion, although the matter of becoming a king is tricky, it is not the case” “Let the tiger go back to the mountain” is so serious. The matter of conferring the king, has it been rare since the beginning of the Great Qi Dynasty? Now it is just the ancestral system. You and I both know that there are struggles between all parties when the position is not determined, but now the East Palace has been determined. Give those few kings, and they will gradually become silent like those former princes. What are you afraid of?”

“It’s not unreasonable. Besides, even if we can’t prevent the king from happening, we can still let those few share some small and barren fiefdoms. In this way, even if the tiger returns to the mountain, it will gradually starve into a thin tiger. What threat could there be?”

In the discussions again and again, some people compromised, and some people sought change amid disadvantages. Gradually, the matter of conferring the king was no longer mentioned in private, and some people mentioned it several times in the court.

It seemed inevitable.

“Really, they finally negotiated such a result?”

In the palace, the imperial concubine immediately received a secret report from her subjects. She was not surprised by this result, but not being surprised does not mean not being disappointed.

This noble concubine who usually looks gentle and elegant, but is charming in front of His Majesty, has never been a person with gentle wrists. She may agree with the ministers’ conclusion that even those who become kings are not a threat, but if she can If they are not allowed to become kings, who would like to see a thin tiger roaming freely in the mountains and forests?

You know, even a thin tiger will eat people when it is extremely hungry.As long as there is a slight possibility, the imperial concubine will never raise a few tiger cubs with sharp teeth.

There was a faint storm on the imperial concubine’s side, and on the other side, in the East Palace, Wei Chuyan was also discussing this matter with Zhao Ji.

“Your Majesty’s intention has been confirmed, he must be crowned king.”

Today, Wei Chuyan did not wear official robes, but wore a plain indigo dress. The skirt is like flowers, and the long hair is like ink, like a banished fairy. It is very exciting. On the way to the East Palace, Many palace people looked at her quietly with blushing faces, but Wei Chuyan walked by without looking sideways, hurting many people’s hearts.

Zhao Ji was still dressed in a black court dress, very austere, she had to deal with a lot of things recently, she often met with officials, so she was always dressed in formal clothes.

“Father is worried about me. Being king should be the new emperor’s business, but he dared to do it before he died, because he was afraid that I would treat my brothers and sisters harshly.”

Walking with his sweetheart to a lake in the palace, Zhao Ji looked at the sparkling water and smiled coldly.

“Then after you ascend the throne, will you really crown them kings?”

Wei Chuyan asked calmly.Zhao Ji listened, and looked at her with a faint smile: “Why, I’m afraid that I will soften my heart and really give them the title of king?”

Wei Chuyan’s eyes moved slightly and he didn’t speak, but the meaning in his eyes was indeed so. Zhao Ji shook his head: “Of course—it won’t happen. Father didn’t blame me. If I ascend the throne, they will never think about it in this life.” Leave Chang’an!”

Saying so, the young Highness took the subject’s hand and placed it on the lower abdomen: “The scar here doesn’t hurt at the moment, if you really let them out of Chang’an, I’m afraid it will hurt day and night, reminding me that I have let them go.” Somebody’s gone out.”

Through a layer of smooth brocade, Wei Chuyan’s hand landed on Zhao Ji’s flat belly, and rubbed it with pity.

Zhao Ji was scratched by her and laughed, his smile was as bright as spring flowers in March.

“Then they won’t be allowed to become kings. Even if you forget this scar, I will remember it for you.”

“You feel sorry for me?”

“I feel sorry for the fool who stabbed me.”

Wei Chuyan was duplicity, Zhao Ji leaned in front of her, followed her dodging eyes to study for a while, and announced his discovery a little proudly: “You just love me!”

Saying this in public, I have never seen such a shameless person!Wei Chuyan was slightly annoyed, and was about to say something when Zhao Ji quickly glanced around and saw that there was no one else, so he quickly pecked her on the face.

Wei Chuyan’s breath was stagnant, and he covered his kissed cheek, watching the girl smile sweetly with dimples on her mouth.

Her eyes softened in an instant, but what she said still carried Mr. Xiao Wei’s “teaching”: “I don’t know how to restrain myself in the palace.

“I checked, and there was no one. Besides, with you here, who can get close to us without being noticed?”

Wei Chuyan had nothing to do with her. In order to relieve the heat on his face, he bluntly brought the topic back: “I have a way to make none of them leave, but the means are inevitably biased. Someone will impeach me.”

“It’s not my court right now. It’s better to be more concealed when you do it. If you can only use the side door, I would rather not let you do it. If you prevent them from being crowned king, and then you are impeached later, Father is angry, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep you.”

Wei Chuyan was a little surprised.

She knew that it was difficult to do well, so she came here to talk to Zhao Ji. She thought that Zhao Ji would give her the right to do it without reservation as before, and let her do it.

Seeing her frowning, Zhao Ji tilted his head and thought for a moment, then explained to her: “I’m not afraid of trouble, but it involves you, I always think about it, have you forgotten, I said I will protect you of.”

It happened many years ago, when she begged Wei Chuyan to go back to Chang’an with her, she said she would protect Wei Chuyan.Although it seems that Wei Chuyan has been protecting her all these years, but now that she is getting more and more wings, she has picked up the promise she once made.

Wei Chuyan just felt that the chick had grown up.

This is the first time that Zhao Ji has a different opinion with her. It is foreseeable that similar scenes will continue to be staged in the future. After all, she and Zhao Ji are two people. are different.

She began to gradually think about the possibility of returning the authority to Zhao Ji.

“I can’t avoid this matter. Once things start to work, even if I don’t show up, everyone can think that the East Palace is stopping it. We must have someone on our side who can push the light. This person’s status can’t be too low. , otherwise you will know that you are a scapegoat at a glance.”

“It’s time to find a scapegoat. Do you think I’ll let you do such a dangerous thing?”

“I’ll be fine.”

Zhao Ji didn’t believe it: “Since nothing will happen, let others do it.”

Wei Chuyan grabbed her hand, and asked her patiently: “Ji, your majesty’s body, how many days can you last after learning that the matter of becoming a king has been disturbed?”

Zhao Ji remained silent.She had thought about this matter before, once the crowning of the king failed, under the rush of fire, it would be considered amazing if the father could survive for three days.

“I’m not filial.”

As a child, when the father is seriously ill, not only can’t relieve his worries, but also confront him and aggravate his death, which is unfilial.

“It’s not that you are unfilial, it’s that your majesty disregards family affection first. Confer the king, confer the king! In this way, he is of course a rare and good father to the other highnesses, but has he ever thought of you? To make someone king, why don’t you think about the hardships you will face after you take the throne?”

Zhao Ji is not a person who will feel guilty for this matter for the rest of his life. There is guilt, but as Wei Chuyan said, if the father is willing to go quietly and leave a good stall for her, why should she bother? What about confronting the father at the last moment?

“Ji, listen to me, even if there is no such thing, His Majesty is only the difference between dying a few days earlier and dying a few days later. You think, his time is running out, even if those people target me, the mountain collapses Finally, you are the new king. With you here, will something happen to me? When His Majesty is here, the ministers will naturally feel that the matter of becoming a king is justified, but if there is a new emperor, will the ministers still dare to talk about it? By then , I am naturally innocent.”

“But you could have been hidden behind the scenes.”

“It’s different. I always want to stand in front of others. If after you ascend the throne, everyone still thinks of me as that pedantic and gentle Mr. David, there will be many things to do next, and it will be difficult to do.”

The breeze wrinkled the water in the lake, just like Zhao Ji’s heart was disturbed by Wei Chuyan at this time.

The woman stood beside her quietly, with deep seas in her eyes, filled with infinite wisdom and hope: “They have to be afraid of me. If I want to do things well for you, then I have to be feared and respected first. And there is an opportunity in front of us.”

“After I finish this matter, they will get to know Wei Chuyan again.”

Zhao Ji was fascinated by the look in her eyes for a moment, then shook his head: “I want you to be my prime minister, just like Mr. Zhu Qishi. Of course there are people in the court who are afraid of him, but that is because of reverence and fear. You are not partial, nor cruel, and you can do things well for my father. I hope you will become a capable minister who is admired by all people like him, not a capable minister who is feared because of his cruel methods. “

“Because my Wei Chuyan is such a good person, she deserves to be respected and loved by the world, instead of becoming a person who will be ridiculed secretly for me.”

Wei Chuyan said “fool” and gently hugged her in his arms: “I don’t care about that. Really, I don’t care about that. Do you still remember my dream, I used to have bright and warm means, but the result But it’s not like you think, because the method is too gentle, I was tired by it in the end. Now I have figured it out, as long as the final goal is bright and beautiful, it is not impossible for the process to be dark and tortuous Pick.”

Wei Chuyan is not comforting people. A long time ago, since she was reborn, before she met Zhao Ji, she had already given up those gentle and soft methods, and turned to a more convenient and effective method. But it also implied tricks.

“But, there is a broad road, why don’t you go?”

“That’s not the real way. When His Majesty summoned me, he also hinted that I want to be a pure minister. Do you know what a pure minister is? A pure minister is a sword in the hands of the emperor. Do you think Master Zhu Qishi’s methods are bright? But in fact, he has always been a pure minister. He is the knife in your father’s hand, but this knife has gradually faded from the blood in recent years, and people have forgotten the past and respected him as a respected elder gone.”

“So, awe or fear, it’s up to me to see what I want them to feel.”

Zhao Ji was convinced by her, Wei Chuyan saw the agreement in her eyes, bowed his head and kissed the corner of her forehead.
