Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 176: Making chaos

In the emperor's opinion, choosing a concubine for the princes is just his own family matter, and it is legitimate to make decisions by himself. However, the cabinet asked the emperor to take back his life on the grounds that "the family of heaven is selfless."

The emperor's thoughts were naturally obvious, and he simply wanted to tie the second prince Xie Yao and Wei Yuanhou together by giving marriage to increase the bargaining chips for Xie Yao to succeed the throne.

The ministers of the cabinet opposed in unison. In the past, there was no eighth prince and the emperor had no legitimate son. It didn't matter who Xie Yao, as the eldest son, married, so Xie Yao and the eldest girl of the Fang family had an engagement.

But now that the emperor has a legitimate son, the emperor is still adding chips to succession for Xie Yao, so it is untolerable.

Everyone in the cabinet supported the legitimate son's succession and was extremely resistant to the emperor's approach. The emperor confronted the cabinet, but the emperor refused to give in, and the cabinet moved out the ancestral regulations.

Zhang Ruogu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, quoted the classics and proved the undesirableness of this matter.

The Minister of Revenue, Lu Zhiyuan, directly moved out of the ancestral system, claiming that "the ancestral system has been established and no one dares to discuss it lightly."

The emperor did not expect such a small thing to arouse unanimous opposition from the cabinet. In addition to being frustrated, he turned his attention to Ye Quan, the Minister of Personnel. He urgently needed someone to help him.

Among the five people in the cabinet, Ye Quan is the most difficult one.

As the emperor's teacher, the emperor not only let him serve as the Minister of Personnel, the head of the six ministries, but also mentioned him to the cabinet in an extraordinary way. In the past, he always stood on the emperor's side.

At this time, Xie Xi was still full of joy. After he made an appointment with Lin Zisu to leave the city, he began to go back to the house and pack up his luggage for going out.

He first poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it to the emperor, then bent down to the emperor and smiled: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important. Although the adults are reasonable, they are just one-sided words. I think it is better to put it tomorrow morning."

At the court meeting, the officials will be given a discussion so that they can listen to each other and become clear."

As the emperor said, he called Cao Shouli, who was serving on the side, and ordered: "Go and call the Hanlin Academy editors. Since you don't want to speak, you don't have to pass through the cabinet!"

Lin Zisu lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Xie Xi following the side of his carriage. He felt joy in his heart, but he complained: "Aren't we talking about meeting in the west of the city? Why do you have to run so far?"

The emperor was still hesitating, but the cabinet's eyes lit up. The emperor was determined to support the second prince. With these five people in the cabinet, even if they could stop the emperor for a while, it would not be a long-term solution after all. The emperor must completely dispel this.

Only thoughts can be done.

The emperor glanced at Cao Shouli helplessly and asked, "Shouli, this matter is just my family matter. Will it be a big deal when it is put at the court meeting?"

A glimpse of the carriage was driving in front of him, and he ignored the words of the two of them. There were not too many people on the street, and the carriage was very smooth. Soon, he arrived at Ximen.

But Xie Xi felt that this was the first time Lin Zisu invited him to travel with him, so there was no sloppyness.

He was the emperor's loyal minister, but he was also one of the civil servants. In his opinion, the cabinet's reasons were very correct.

When I went to Shili Town today, Lin Zisu did not want too many people to know the details, and even the groom in the mansion did not bring them. Everyone fell into the hands of the glimpse.

When Lin Yuanzhi rushed to the morning court, he saw a man and a horse guarding his alley at his home, and was surprised.

Cao Shouli persuaded him a few more words, and the emperor finally agreed to the matter, and a brief balance was obtained between the cabinet and the emperor.

The two agreed to meet in the west of the city, but early the next morning, Xie Xi guarded the door of the alley of Corning Bo Mansion early.

"I dare not obey the order."

There will be a lot of controversy at that time, and this matter will end in a difficult situation.

Xie Xi, who was outside the Forbidden City, didn't know that he had been thinking about giving a marriage for several days. The original thing was conclusive, but Xie Yao was implicated, and there were already changes.

After leaving the West Gate, in order not to attract attention, Xie Xi had to ride a horse to lead the way, and Lin Zisu followed him in a carriage and not far away.

If it is placed at the court meeting and all the ministers oppose it, even the emperor will have to worry about it.

The inseparable separation of legitimate and illegitimate is the way to cause chaos.

This time, he remained silent for the first time.

Lin Zisu and Bi talked about the reason they went out of the city today, and the reason they were looking for was to go to Lingtan Temple in the west of the city to burn incense. It was just past the hour of Mao when they went out.

In fact, it took a round trip from Lin Mansion to Shili Town, west of the city, but in just half a day, there was nothing to prepare.

The emperor was worried now, and the few people, including Fang Luan and Liang Guang, had never spoken.

However, he was in a hurry to enter the palace and did not take this matter seriously. He just regarded it as a stud hired by a nearby merchant. He rushed out of the city early in the morning and waited for the city gate to open here.

The five people in the cabinet knelt down together and confronted the emperor.

As soon as her carriage drove out of her doorstep, she heard the sound of "Dede" horse hooves coming from a distance, and then a familiar voice said: "Su Su, why did it come out so early?"

Cao Shouli, who was serving on the side, saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried out to smooth things over.

Xie Xi smiled and said, "Your family has all kinds of people. Without my escort, what if you get lost?"

Ye Quan's silence undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. The emperor slapped the table and said, "Okay, you all make sense, are you? But I don't have reason, have you learned to use a big hat to suppress me. I tell you, I'm going to tell you.

It has been decided, keep the courtesy, and you will draw the order!"

The emperor looked at Cao Shouli with some confusion, not knowing what Cao Shouli intended.

The cabinet all agreed with Cao Shouli's proposal, but Qian Minzhong looked at Cao Shouli. He didn't believe that Cao Shouli and the cabinet were in the same camp.

Cao Shouli did not look at the cabinet from beginning to end. He glanced at Weiyuanhou indifferently and said to the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, since you all think this matter is contrary to the ancestral system, you might as well be more cautious.

It would be better to have a discussion at the meeting."

Fang Luan naturally couldn't speak in person. Liang Guang was the uncle of the eighth prince and he was definitely not going to support this marriage.

The cabinet has already raised opposition and put it in the morning court to discuss it. What the censors said will only be more unpleasant and the resistance will only be greater.

This time, in order to be foolproof, Xie Xi also specially ordered a team of guards from Huang Sheng's Tengxiang Left Guard and followed him all the way.

The Shili Town is very remote. Halfway through the walk, the group lost the official road and had to walk on the rugged dirt road. After more than half an hour of bumpyness, we arrived at the destination.

This is a desolate town. Lin Zisu is at that time, but it is the beginning of Si Shi. There are only a few stores in the town and there are not many people on the street.

At first, so many people arrived, and everyone on the street looked at Lin Zisu and his group, as if they had seen a flood of beasts.
