The atmosphere in the study was a bit depressing.

Prime Minister Pei had just convinced himself to accept the fact that the eldest princess would supervise the country as regent. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess did something shocking again, forcing the officials from the DPRK and the Central Committee to make trouble directly outside the eldest princess's gate.

Taking in four male favorites at the same time?

What is the difference between this behavior...this behavior and that of a bully who robs a girl?

Prime Minister Pei's expression was pale, and he hesitated several times. After careful consideration, he spoke seriously: "The eldest princess is now the crown prince, and will be crowned emperor sooner or later. The three palaces and six courtyards are indispensable. Even if you want to fill the backyard right now, You should also abide by the rules of concubinage, and..."

After a slight pause in his tone, he said bluntly: "Isn't it too humiliating for an official's son to directly become a male favorite? If this matter gets into trouble, it will be fatal to the reputation of the eldest princess!"

Taifu Qi nodded slowly: "I suspect that the eldest princess did this for an unknown reason, but if this matter is not handled properly, it will really damage the eldest princess's reputation."

Yan Donghuang sat on the chair and looked at the two veterans in front of him without saying a word, his expression slightly lost.

Although Prime Minister Pei is a bit stubborn, he is trustworthy and dedicated to serving the king and the people, and there is nothing to criticize him for.

As the emperor's master, Taifu Qi fulfilled his duties and had a good family tradition. All the children he raised were outstanding and there was nothing to criticize.

Yan Donghuang respected these two people in his heart.

Therefore, the attitude will not be too strong when speaking, but the truth will be explained to them: "Princess Fengyang sent a message yesterday, saying that she is pregnant, and invites me to Pingyang Marquis Mansion today to meet with me. Share this good news.”

Prime Minister Pei was slightly surprised, so the eldest princess didn't leave them in the Qinzheng Palace on purpose, but because Princess Fengyang was pregnant, she went to the appointment first?

Yan Donghuang picked up the teacup: "I arrived at Pingyang Hou Mansion. Some servants took me to sit in the warm pavilion in the garden. None of the masters of the Hou Mansion came out. Does the Prime Minister think this is normal?"

Prime Minister Pei frowned: "That's not normal. According to the rules, regardless of whether Your Highness is the Crown Prince or the eldest princess, the Marquis, starting from the old lady, should take the initiative to greet the eldest princess and entertain her ceremoniously."

And even if ordinary guests come to an appointment, the host should not leave them in the garden.

"Princess Fengyang invited me, and Marquis Pingyang invited Shen, Sheng, Wei, and Du to the palace as guests, and they talked loudly and vented their anger next door to the East Garden where I am." Yan Donghuang smiled lightly, "There is only one wall separating us from this palace."

Prime Minister Pei was stunned and turned to look at Taifu Qi subconsciously.

Taifu Qi was thoughtful.

The two veterans were silent for a moment.

One of them is the head of the officials, and the other is the teacher of the emperor. Needless to say, in other aspects, at least they have enough brains, and they may not lose to others in their scheming.

As for this obviously clumsy plot, the two of them understood the cause and effect at a glance. It was clearly that Pingyang Hou and Princess Fengyang jointly set up this scheme.

"So, it seems that the four of them did not know that His Highness was in the East Garden, so they unscrupulously criticized Father and insulted His Highness?" An Wang Yanling frowned, "But Pingyang Marquis should be an insider. What is his purpose of doing this? ?”

"Purpose?" Yan Donghuang's lips raised slightly, "Perhaps it is to let me hear how the men in the officials' families criticize me, and to make me unable to withstand so much criticism and abuse, and to back down from the matter of enthroning?"

The study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Yan Donghuang looked indifferent: "They said that my father is old and dim, that my chastity is not guaranteed, that no man is willing to share a wife, and... in short, if what they said is heard by my father, it will be enough for them. The entire clan was executed and no one was left alive.”

Feng Yaoguang said coldly: "So Your Highness is still too merciful. Based on your humble position, you should directly send troops to imprison all four of their families and execute them three days later to see if they dare to cause trouble outside the eldest princess's residence indiscriminately. "

Taifu Qi glanced at Feng Yaoguang. Although he admired the military commander in his heart, he sometimes did not agree with the military commander's tough and rude style.

After pondering for a moment, he asked: "How does Your Highness plan to deal with this matter?"

"Although I hold military power, I am not a murderous person." Yan Donghuang said in a calm tone, "Besides, if we really kill all the ministers in the court, who will do the work? Since Pingyang Hou is planning all this, let Shen and The Sheng, Wei, and Du families went to Marquis Pingyang to find out. Shen Jinyan had his tongue cut out, and the Shen family was not the first one to let it go. "

As for the sons of the other three families, they were still relatively intact for the time being. I don't know if those hundred slaps had knocked out their teeth.

But with them at hand, it is still possible to make their family members obedient.

"Your Highness," Yan Ling said warmly, "Princess Fengyang and Your Highness have always been close sisters. If the trouble goes too far this time, will it put her in a difficult situation in the Hou Mansion?"

Yan Donghuang looked at him calmly: "She is a majestic royal princess, is it possible that she still depends on the prince's face to live her life?"

"That's not what I meant, it's just..."

"Everyone must bear the consequences for what they have done." Yan Donghuang's voice was cold and ruthless, "There is no exception."

King An lowered his eyes with a sad expression on his face, as if he felt sad about the current situation where the brothers and sisters were separated.

Yan Donghuang stopped talking about this topic and took a memorial from the table: "There is news from Jizhou that there was a lot of rain this summer. Heavy rains for a month have flooded the crops, causing heavy losses in the autumn harvest. In addition, there is a winter snowstorm. The people have almost no food to survive the winter. The court is in urgent need of disaster relief. Has the prime minister sent anyone to find out about this?"

Prime Minister Pei was slightly surprised: "Jizhou?"

"Yes." Yan Donghuang said calmly, "This matter needs to be investigated as soon as possible, and reliable officials should be arranged to be responsible for disaster relief."

After speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at Prime Minister Pei, her tone was particularly cold and hard: "Disaster relief silver is the same as military pay. It is the bottom line of this palace. Anyone who dares to tamper with it will be exterminated by this palace!"
