Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 175 Falling

Yu Shizhong said: "I heard that it was Kang Chaoguang's wife who went to Lin's mansion in person. I don't know if it was a slip of the tongue or what happened. Since she went there, there have been rumors in the capital that night that Prince Wei asked to marry Miss Lin."

"I said, why did that bastard Xie Xi target Xie Yan? So that's it!"

Xie Hui said hatefully, and squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Why can Kang Chaoguang be promoted to Hezhong Governor? Who gave this recommendation?"

The emperor was searching the palace in the past few days due to poisoning, looking for suspicious spies from Beidi.

In order to cover up, Xie Hui stayed in the palace and did not go out. He had no idea what was going on outside the palace.

Xie Yan was one of the people recruited by Xie Hui outside the palace. Because of King Wei’s special identity, many things that Xie Hui could not hide in the palace were placed in the palace.

Only when these things that were so hard to get were put in the Wei Palace, Xie Hui felt more at ease.

He heard that the Wei Palace was interested in the second girl of the Lin family and the third girl of the Luo family. This time he originally wanted to fulfill King Wei's wish.

But the difference between words was just one word, and the partner who proposed marriage was wrong. Such a big mess in the middle caused a storm.

This time the emperor did not care about his brotherly feelings at all. Not only did he surrounded the Wei Palace, but the things in the Wei Palace were also investigated.

Xie Hui thought for a moment, smiled on his face, nodded and said, "This reason is good, and choosing a concubine is also a major event for the country. The father mentioned it many times a few days ago. If it weren't for the fact that there were more things in the court this month, I'm afraid that the princess of this palace had already chosen it."

When the East Factory went to search, I was afraid that all the efforts accumulated in the past few years would be wasted.

"In the past, we were able to control those officials simply because they took their shortcomings. They feared us, so they were willing to obey our instructions. If the news spreads out and their handles are in the hands of His Majesty, how would they react?"

The two were still planning some details, but unexpectedly, the emperor's movement was faster than theirs.

Master Yu smiled and said, "If your highness agrees, I will tell the people below to create momentum and put some pressure on Your Majesty. It's just that your Highness is wronged. There will be many trivial matters in the mansion at that time."

"I see Your Majesty's intentions and still tolerate King Wei. I was only staring at the court officials, so I had to investigate the Wei Palace. The only way now is to find a reason to change the direction of the wind. As long as no one pays attention to this matter, the Prince of King Wei will be released from the imperial prison in a few months."

Xie Hui stood up mutely for a long time, found a chair and sat down, lowered his head to ponder.

But this reason is not easy to find. If the matter is too big, it may even cause trouble; if the matter is too small, it will not attract the attention of the court officials. It is best to be a big thing that takes time and is harmless.

Xie Hui deeply agreed that King Wei had committed many things in recent years, and the censors often reported the news. However, the King Wei's mansion was always standing, which was inseparable from the emperor's indulgence.

During the Dayan period, there were rules for princes to choose concubines. Whether in details or regulations, there were established regulations, but there was actually nothing to change.

The meaning of Master Yu is very obvious. Kang Chaoguang used to have a handle in the hands of King Wei, so he would naturally be obedient.

Seeing that Xie Hui had returned to his former calmness, Master Yu admired Xie Hui's demeanor and said with a smile: "How dare I blame Your Highness? I took the risk of sneaking into the palace today, just to discuss with Your Highness how we should do the next step."

"Choose a concubine?"

Xie Hui pursed his lips and said, "Do you want to take advantage of the situation? You can teach all officials to be in danger and then let King Wei go? This is a good plan. However, Mr. Yu, our original intention is to cover up this matter. In this way, we put this matter on the surface. If we are not careful, it will cause trouble."

Thinking of this, Xie Hui was so angry that he didn't even get angry and shouted: "This Kang Chaoguang is something that is not enough to make trouble! Go and find him and let him understand the reply for me. I want to hear what he says!"

Master Yu said, "I have two methods here. Please refer to your highness for a detailed look."

Now that the emperor has just recovered from a serious illness, as long as there is something else to distract himself, he may put the matter aside. At that time, he will find another opportunity to plead for Xie Yan, and the matter will be revealed.

That night, the emperor summoned the Marquis of Weiyuan, Duke Chang and the cabinet to discuss the selection of concubines by several princes.

When he looked up, he had already changed his tone and said, "I was so anxious that I could speak without saying anything for a moment. Mr. Yu."

Xie Hui nodded and said, "Mr. Yu is right. The past should not be pursued. Xie Yan went to the imperial prison, because he was afraid that he would give up some things. At that time, it would be difficult for us to deal with it."

When he received the news that the Wei Wang Mansion was raided, it was noon that day. Because the matter was urgent, Xie Hui could not respond at all, so he could only see Xie Yan entering the imperial prison.

Now that his handle has reached the emperor's hands, Kang Chaoguang went to Hezhong to take office, even if he was still in the capital, he would probably be unpleasant.

Master Yu looked upset and said, "I heard that all the things in the Wei Palace have been searched by Cao Lang's eunuch. It is probably not easy for us to grasp Kang Chaoguang."

Master Yu nodded and said yes, and then said, "Your Highness is worried that you can only use another reason. Your Highness is now at the age of choosing a concubine. Your Highness might as well advise the emperor to arrange the election of a concubine as soon as possible."

But the emperor specifically explained to the Ministry of Rites that he was optimistic about the candidates for the second prince and Dun Prince and no longer had to make any selections.

Xie Hui waved his hand and said, "It's not a question of whether to be wronged or not. But this candidate is the one, and my mother's mother will have to carefully select it. Those daughters from high and noble families all have a proud spirit, and I don't like it. Girls from small families are easy to control and will not ruin our major events."

Marquis Weiyuan knew what the emperor said, and the second prince's concubine was probably the girl who had decided to be her own, and he happily expressed his approval. Liang Guang, Duke of Chang, had never had any opinion and agreed without hesitation.

When I arrived at the cabinet, I was opposed by the ministers in unison.

Qian Minzhong, the Minister of Rites, immediately jumped out and accused the emperor of his actions of incompatibility with the etiquette and contrary to his ancestors' ways.

Everyone in the cabinet had different thoughts on weekdays, but their opinions were unprecedentedly unified when it comes to choosing a concubine.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The court has its own rules of conduct. If the emperor is allowed to make a fool of himself, how can he restrain his every move over time?
