After Zhao Wang forced the palace to rebel and the emperor was almost killed, the courtiers became nervous.
They are terrified of going through something like this again.
"If Your Majesty had established the Crown Prince earlier and determined the titles of monarch and minister, there would have been no such appalling things as forcing the palace to rebel."
The courtiers nodded in unison.
This is indeed the case.
The emperor's willfulness and procrastination almost made a big mistake.
Therefore, as an important minister of the country, he must urge the emperor to correct his mistakes.
Taking advantage of the emperor's summoning, all the ministers gathered in Xingqing Palace.
No matter what the emperor said, they only had one request, "Your Majesty, please appoint the crown prince as soon as possible, and don't make the same mistake again."
"Your Majesty, please make a crown prince."
"Does Your Majesty want to disregard the country and the country?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked casually: "My dear friends, which prince do you think I should appoint as the crown prince?"
After hearing this, the courtiers were overjoyed.
Then he began to struggle with who to establish as the crown prince.
"Prince Ning can be crown prince."
"Prince Ning can't do it. King Ning has always behaved badly and is not worthy of being the Crown Prince."
"The ten princes can be crown princes."
"The fifteen princes can be crown princes."
The courtiers had different opinions, and almost every prince who was eligible to compete was slipped out by the courtiers over and over again.
Regarding the opinions of the courtiers, the emperor was noncommittal.
"It seems that you love ministers have not reached an agreement. How about this, you love ministers go back and think about it, and tomorrow you will all write a booklet to clarify your respective positions."
The courtiers were a little surprised, "Your Majesty really wants to listen to the advice of Weichen and others?"
The emperor said affirmatively: "Of course. It's about the country and the country, how can I be arbitrarily determined. You can even organize a court meeting, and I want to hear everyone's thoughts."
"Your Majesty has an order, and the ministers will act according to the emperor's order. A court meeting will be organized in five days. I wonder if Your Majesty will attend?"
The emperor nodded, "I shall attend."
The courtiers were overjoyed.
After decades, the emperor finally listened to everyone's opinions. This is a great victory.
The courtiers left happily to discuss the Great Court.
The emperor smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood.
…
When King Ning heard the news of the Great Court Conference, he immediately scolded, "The old man is old-hearted, and he is still tossing around at this time. Is he trying to drive everyone crazy? Who is appointed as the crown prince is not a matter of his words."
Liu Zhao looked at the irritable King Ning, and said calmly, "Grandfather may be delaying time."
"Why did Big Brother make such a guess?"
After a year of hard work, Liu Yi is finally qualified to stand in the Bixi Pavilion to discuss the government affairs with King Ning.
Liu Zhao ignored him, but faced King Ning and said, "Concubine Xue, King Zhao, and King Yan, these three culprits, the imperial grandfather has been delaying and not dealing with it. Obviously he wants to find out all the henchmen and catch them all. The imperial grandfather Delaying the establishment of the crown prince is nothing more than a test of people's hearts to see who can't hold back and jump out first. The imperial grandfather wants to play a big game."
King Ning hummed first, and then said: "This is the old man's style. If the old man doesn't torture people to death, he won't give up. It seems that this king has to cultivate himself for a while."
Liu Yi was worried, "If the grandfather really listened to the opinions of the courtiers and appointed the crown prince, the father would have missed a great opportunity to cultivate himself at this time."
King Ning stared at Liu Yi, "Do you want me to contact the courtiers?"
"My son thinks that you can't communicate with the courtiers with great fanfare, but you can't do nothing."
King Ning smiled and asked Liu Zhao, "Boss, what do you think?"
Liu Zhao was expressionless, "Father wants to be in that position, so you should do nothing. Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes. The emperor's grandfather Gan Gang has been arbitrary for decades, and he will not tolerate anyone jumping around under his nose. "
King Ning laughed loudly, "The boss can see clearly. Fourth brother, you still need to practice more and try to figure out your grandfather's mind. Don't look at the old man who has a stroke and hemiplegia. He is a sick old man, but his brain is not broken. He wants Playing with people's hearts, how can I jump into the pit stupidly."
Liu Yi clenched his fists and let go in a blink of an eye. He said with a smile: "My son always remembers the teachings of my father. Eldest brother has rich experience in errands. I still have many things to ask my elder brother for advice. Please don't hesitate to give me your advice."
Liu Zhao raised his eyelids, his face was cold, "No time!"
Liu Yi was choked, with an innocent and helpless expression on his face. He looked at King Ning with a pitiful expression. It was written all over his face: I was rejected by my elder brother, father, please help me.
King Ning watched the play happily, and laughed, "There will be enough time. Boss, don't be so stingy."
Liu Zhao looked disgusted, "If you are not free, you are not free. If the father has nothing else to do, the son will leave."
After speaking, without giving Liu Yi a straight look, he left Bixi Pavilion.
Liu Yi lowered his head, sneering with resentment but also a little bit of joy in his heart.
Just based on Liu Zhao's attitude, everyone will be completely offended by him.
The unpopular Liu Zhao will compete with him in the future.
He raised his head and said to King Ning: "Brother may think that I am too dull and have too little experience, so he is not willing to teach me."
King Ning laughed loudly, "Then what are you going to do?"
There was no intention of comforting the youngest son at all.
Liu Yi's eyes lit up, "Father, please arrange more errands for my son. My son wants more experience, and strives to catch up with elder brother."
"It's rare that you also know how to make progress. Since you want to practice, it happens that this king has a trivial errand here and I will let you do it."
"Thank you, father, my son will definitely work hard to do a good job."
…
Liu Zhao left Bixi Pavilion, and went back to the East Courtyard while there was still time.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Brother Yu's cry.
Brat, the voice is getting louder. Hearing this cry, he was either hungry or wet his pants.
Liu Zhao's serious face softened naturally.
He walked into the upper room and came to Gu Jiu's side, "What's the matter, brat, aren't you full?"
Gu Jiu was hugging the child and coaxing him, when he heard Liu Zhao's voice, he seemed to have found a savior. Straightforwardly, he put Brother Yu into his arms.
"You coax him, I've been tired all day, and I'm almost exhausted."
"What's the matter, is he pestering you again?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I want to hug you as soon as you wake up, not even Nanny Fang. Now, he only recognizes you and me."
Do toddlers have memories
Gu Jiu was not sure.
Anyway, since she came back safely, Brother Yu didn't accept her for the first two days. It is estimated that she was away for too long and treated her as a stranger.
At that time Gu Jiu was quite sad.
Her precious son was estranged from her, and she was the one who felt the most uncomfortable.
However, after the first two days, after the feeling of strangeness disappeared, Brother Yu began to pester her. As soon as he wakes up, he needs to be hugged by her, or to be accompanied by her.
When Gu Jiu left for a while, he would cry a lot.
I don't know who this child's temper is like. Once he starts to cry, he can't stop crying. Gu Jiu had to hug him and coax him to stop crying.
Of course, Brother Yu also followed Liu Zhao's tricks.
Liu Zhao hugged him, and he was also happy.
No, Brother Yu stopped crying once he was in Liu Zhao's arms. Not only did he not cry, but he also secretly closed his eyes to sleep.
Gu Jiu rubbed her sore arm, it was really tiring to take care of the child.
Compared with carrying a child, pregnancy is like paradise.
She slumped on the soft bed, her whole body nestled in the soft pillow, relaxed.
Liu Zhao sat down next to her.
Neither of them spoke, the tranquility at this moment was a tacit understanding between each other.
"Don't worry about the gossip outside, I will solve all the problems."
Liu Zhao suddenly made a sound.
Gu Jiu nodded and hummed.
She has been missing for such a long time, and she is a woman, so it is inevitable that she will be talked about.
After she was rescued by Liu Zhao, all kinds of speculations were rampant.
Those who were worried about her safety before are now guessing what happened to her during the time she was kidnapped.
Have you ever lost your virginity
Have you ever been molested
Have you encountered violence
In short, when a woman is kidnapped and imprisoned for a long time, people will always think of the most terrifying and unbearable side.
Even if Qingmei explained to the outside world that nothing could happen, no one would believe her.
Instead, everyone would say: "Of course I will say I am innocent. Which woman would admit that she is not clean."
Everyone seems to have decided that Gu Jiu is not clean.
Some people even said that Gu Jiu, as the emperor's grandson's wife, should prove her innocence by dying if she cares about her reputation.
Others said that Gu Jiu should ask himself to step down, and he is not qualified to continue occupying the position of Mrs. Zhao.
Even the Gu family had similar remarks.
Not to mention the royal family, there are quite a few people who joked behind Liu Zhao being cuckolded.
Some people even said to Liu Zhao, "Why do men have no wives? You are the grandson of the emperor, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the face of the royal family."
Some people ran up to King Ning, "Liu Zhao is thinking about the old love, so he can't make a decision. The prince should be the master for Liu Zhao. How can a dignified palace keep a woman with an unclean reputation."
More people ran to Pei's ear and whispered, "Liu Zhao is too sincere, there is nothing to hesitate at this time. The palace should quickly find a few daughters from aristocratic families for Liu Zao, and choose a new wife."
"Yes! The royal family also needs face."
There are more people talking about Gu Jiu than Zhao Wang Xue Guifei.
The matter of King Zhao and Concubine Xue Gui is too sensitive and involves too many people. Before the dust settled, no one dared to discuss casually.
But when it comes to talking about Gu Jiu, everyone has no burden.
Gu Jiu is a woman who was kidnapped and imprisoned. I heard that the person who imprisoned her was still a man. Such a big gossip, why not let people talk about it.
The majestic grandson's wife is not clean anymore, and she still occupies the position and refuses to abdicate to the virtuous. Is it reasonable not to let people talk about it
All kinds of discussions about Gu Jiu filled the aristocratic circle of the capital. And there is a tendency to spread from the aristocratic circle to the middle circle.
It's just that people in the middle circle still have scruples, worried that the palace will pursue their remarks, and everyone is cautious when discussing.
When discussing, only mention a certain person, not the real name. And it's a small-scale discussion.
