Sister, be yourself!

Chapter 173

The minister said: "As for what you said that women cannot be crown princes, I think this is absurd. There are already female officials in the palace. Are there any mistakes in their actions?"

This is a matter of the harem, how could these ministers know about it, but they can't refute it, because once they refute it, they will be labeled as disrespectful to the queen.

A minister who agreed with his remarks said: "Your Excellency's words are correct. His Royal Highness Feiluan is indeed the best candidate for the crown prince. What's more, the son-in-law has a gentle and martial arts strategy. How can His Royal Highness Feiluan have such a capable person to help him?" Worry is not forever."

This remark aroused the dissatisfaction of the two princes' henchmen, and they fired at Xiao Yuanzhi openly and secretly. First, they said that Xiao Yuanzhi was not worthy of her abilities, and then she said that she had been living among the people for many years. In many aspects, she was inferior to the two princes raised since she was a child.

The minister thought that what these people said was really ridiculous, "Your Majesty, I think that all the ministers have underestimated His Royal Highness Feiluan. Taking the matter of Songzhou as an example, isn't it enough to prove that His Royal Highness Feiluan can make His Majesty a good general?" His Royal Highness Feiluan's ability?"

Fearing that the other ministers would refute, he said quietly again: "If I remember correctly, my lords were at a loss for what to do about this matter."

This public slap in the face made it impossible for those who wanted to refute to say anything.

Ye Shan also joined in the excitement, explaining how Xiao Yunzhi solved the case, how he punished corrupt officials, and how he made a heroic act, adding fuel to the story.

That blah blah, I'm afraid these ministers know less, and there is a bit of showing off in their tone.

The minister also echoed in time: "The people of Songzhou love His Highness Feiluan, so it can be seen that His Highness Feiluan is what the people want."

Another minister was anxious, and said directly: "Then tell me, how to solve the issue of offspring?"

The minister said: "I think that as long as it is from His Royal Highness Feiluan, it is the blood of the royal family."

"How can a daughter's family carry on the family? Isn't that all the man's responsibility!"

Xiao Yuanzhi frowned slightly, she was very disgusted with this question, not to mention that she had no desire to have children at all, moreover, this sentence was full of prejudice against women, this patriarchal thought made people feel sick to the point of vomiting.

Even so, Xiao Yunzhi didn't open his mouth. Firstly, it was caused by her stubbornness. Although she was forced to fight for the throne, it would be another matter if she wanted to speak out publicly. At least now is not the time, two. , Naturally, I want to hear how the minister will answer.

The minister said: "My lord, you are wrong again. Your wife gave birth to a child, and the child came out of her stomach. She can guarantee that the child she gave birth is her own blood, but can you guarantee it? Can you guarantee it?" Is the son your own flesh and blood?"

Xiao Yuanzhi's eyes looked at the minister, this person can be dealt with.

"I...I..." The minister who was talking to him was annoyed, and threw up his sleeves and said angrily: "Using words to make sense!"

"My lord, let me ask another question. If your lord has not been abandoned or swapped, then your mother is indeed your mother. After all, she was pregnant and gave birth to you in October, but how can you prove that your father is your father?" Woolen cloth?"

The minister who was talking to him was impatient, and he cupped his hands again and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this man is just a low-rank official who actually deceived the people with his lies in the court. I beg Your Majesty to give him whipping and punishment, so as to serve as an example to others."

The emperor said: "Why should Aiqing be angry? What's more, what he said is not unreasonable. Can you guarantee it better than your wife?"

The emperor had already said that, so he naturally didn't dare to say more, no matter how angry he was, he could only swallow it in his stomach.

The minister bowed his hands to the emperor, and said: "The minister was just giving an example, and he didn't mean to offend. I just wanted to explain that the blood of His Royal Highness Feiluan is also the royal blood. If it can be passed on to the next generation, then It must be a woman, not a man, neither I nor the adults have the ability to conceive a child."

Xiao Yuanzhi really wanted to applaud him, it's really good, it's rare to have someone who is different from these old feudalists, but she couldn't be too presumptuous, and only gave him a look of approval.

Wei Zisu only glanced at the minister, then looked away, it seems that the sixth-rank official should be someone with talent, maybe the emperor specially pushed him up for Xiao Yuanzhi.

The minister knelt down and said: "Your Majesty has the courage to follow the public opinion and make His Royal Highness Feiluan the crown prince!"

Following his kneeling, most of the ministers knelt down, and the two princes and their henchmen were all dumbfounded.

"I beg Your Majesty to follow the public opinion and make His Royal Highness Feiluan the Crown Prince!"

"I beg Your Majesty to follow the public opinion and make His Royal Highness Feiluan the Crown Prince!"

The two princes were anxious and angry, and they all wanted to give these ministers who were kneeling on the ground and shouting, one by one a kick.

Among their party members, some people also saw the situation. They were afraid that His Majesty intended to appoint His Royal Highness Fei Luan as the reserve, and they were just some fools, so they also knelt down and mixed into the shouting queue.

The emperor was very satisfied with the result, "Since all the love ministers support Fei Luan as the crown prince, I can only follow the public opinion."

The ministers kneeling on the ground said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live long live the emperor, thousand years old, thousand years old!"

Although Lou Xuan was very dissatisfied, he still knelt down and lowered his head. No one could see whether he shouted or not, and only his idiot Second Brother was still angry and stood there stupidly.

The servant had already moved up the chair with the engraved dragon, the emperor waved to Xiao Yunzhi, it turned out that she didn't remove her chair, but put a new one on the left side of the dragon chair.

Don't be too obvious about this thought, she's afraid that it won't be easy in the future.

Even though there were thousands of people who were unwilling, Xiao Yunzhi still walked up and sat down on that chair again.

The ministers in the hall shouted again, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, and a thousand years for the princess!"

Since the establishment of the crown prince is a major event, the palace also needs to make good preparations. The emperor was also afraid that Xiao Yuanzhi would be wronged in this matter, so he scheduled the grand crown ceremony to be held in seven days.

In seven days, many things can happen, not to mention that even if the crown prince ceremony is held and Xiao Yunzhi becomes the crown princess, these seven days are enough for those who are interested to take advantage of them.

After the court, Lou Xuan didn't walk away in a fit of anger, but first congratulated Wei Zisu, then walked to the side of the second prince, provoking him with both inward and outward words.

The second prince was already annoyed, but being provoked by this made him burn with anger, and his face became even more ugly. He had fought with Lou Xuan for so long, but he did not expect that the final winner would be Xiao Yuanzhi. He had known that his father had planned this, so he At that time, he should have sent killers to get rid of her when she was going to Songzhou. How could she be given this chance!

Xiao Yuanzhi and Wei Zisu had just returned to the residence, and many ministers sent congratulatory gifts for various reasons. Although Xiao Yuanzhi loved money, she hated this position from the bottom of her heart, so naturally she was unwilling to accept those gifts and declined all of them.

The ministers didn't care about these, they just wanted to show their hearts, so they put down the gifts and left, and they couldn't even chase them back.

Xiao Yuanzhi looked at the piles of congratulatory gifts, which had already filled the entire hall, she held her forehead and sighed.

Wei Zisu poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Aren't you happy to receive the gift?"

Xiao Yuanzhi took a sip, "You know."

"Since they want to give it to you, then treat it as their filial piety to you, and accept it with confidence."

Xiao Yuanzhi heard Wei Zisu's joke, "I can't be a corrupt official, but daughter-in-law, you have the potential to be a profiteer."

Xiao Yuanzhi supported her head with her hands, she looked at Wei Zisu and said, "Help me figure out a way, what should I do with these things? If they send them back, they don't want them, and I didn't even see some of them clearly, so I put down the gifts and left .”

"How do you think it should be handled?"

Xiao Yuanzhi curled her lips, "I don't want to think, someone wants to harm your wife, don't you worry?"

Wei Zisu gave her a blank look, and put the ledger on the table again, "The records here are all the things sent by those officials. Since you don't want to take care of it, let the emperor take care of it for you. I believe he will be very happy." If you are willing, you will be very happy."

Xiao Yuanzhi gave her a thumbs up, "This is a good idea, but it's a pity that my greedy heart that hasn't sprouted has been completely destroyed."

Xiao Yuanzhi summoned Xiao Hong and ordered her to go to the palace to find Eunuch De, and asked Eunuch De to bring some guards.

As soon as Eunuch De arrived, he looked at the gold, silver and jewels in the room, and was so excited that he almost screamed, wanting to take it.

It was Xiao Yuanzhi's reminder that he realized that these were not for him, but to be delivered to the emperor.

Sitting aside, Wei Zisu watched Xiao Yuanzhi directing them to carry them. She picked up the tea that Xiao Yuanzhi had drunk and took a sip. Since she wanted to harm Xiao Yuanzhi, let's see who would be more ruthless.

"Take it easy, if these things are broken, they won't be worth much."

"And you, hold on tighter, don't fall and smash it."

After drinking a cup of tea, Wei Zisu said to Xiao Yunzhi: "I see that you have no rouge in your house, I will go shopping in the street and buy some for you."

Xiao Yuanzhi is busy now, where is the time to pay more attention, "Okay, then you go out and pay attention to safety, do you want Xiaohong to come with you?"

"no need."

Xiao Yuanzhi took Wei Zisu's hand, and said: "Then if you are hungry outside, you can go eat something, if you are bored, you can find Senior Sister Yan'er and Miss Jiang to accompany you, I will finish this matter as soon as possible, Then go find you."

Wei Zisu patted her hand, and said it as if she was going on a long trip, "Okay, it's important, I'll be back soon."

After Wei Zisu left, Xiao Yuanzhi became busy again.

Wei Zisu went to a makeup shop to buy some makeup, and then walked around the street. After successfully confusing her follower, she went into a cloth shop.

Wei Zisu dressed up and went out through the back door of the cloth house. She went to a place.

A big event that caused a sensation in the world happened that night. There were two more people on the major assassination lists. They were the second and fifth princes in the court. One limb, you can get 500 taels of gold, that is to say, one hand is 1000 taels of gold, if you take their heads, it will be even more, up to 1000 taels of gold.

What the second prince and the fifth prince did was also investigated to the bottom of the sky, and passed on in these rivers and lakes. Of course, one of them was that someone had seen the second prince near Zangfeng Villa, and he was with him at that time. A group of men in black are together.

All of a sudden, the inner riot factors of the desperadoes in the rivers and lakes were awakened, and they rushed to the capital without stopping, just to get a piece of the pie, and those who happened to be in the capital had already started planning their actions.
