It was extremely quiet in the palace. The eyes of the courtiers were all wide-eyed, and their gazes shuttled back and forth among several people like weaving shuttles.

Normally, it would be exciting enough to have Feng Guanlan fighting against the He family and his son in the court, but now there is another Princess Jingnan, making it even more tense and exciting.

The Queen Mother did not expect that things would turn out like this. It was too late to regret it at this time, so she could only say with a calm face: "Okay, don't say anything. If Princess Jingnan wants to stay, just stay. There is really no point in going out at this time. "

She paused and then continued: "The Ai family is not afraid to say some things in front of you. The imperial court has rules for rewarding meritorious officials. Only the royal family that has won the battle can be worthy of the ceremony where all the officials come out of the city to welcome them. , the rest of them can’t do it no matter how great their merits are.”

"Since there are rules, naturally my prince cannot break the rules." Chu Zhao said, suddenly changing the subject, "I just don't know who made these rules?"

Everyone was startled. He Yunjie instinctively realized that she was digging a hole. Before she could think of words, the Queen Mother blurted out: "Of course it was decided by the ancestors."

"Can't subsequent emperors change the rules set by our ancestors?" Chu Zhao asked again, "I remember that Emperor Xihe once made a rule that women could enter the court as officials. If the rules set by our ancestors cannot be changed, why can't they be changed now? Is the woman an official?"

"..." The Queen Mother was also stunned, realizing that she had fallen into a trap, and couldn't help but become a little angry.

An official stood up and scolded: "Princess Jingnan, don't just talk nonsense here just because you have some merits. How can you question the emperor's decision casually?"

Chu Zhao smiled slightly and was not anxious or annoyed in the face of the accusation: "Since the Emperor's decision cannot be questioned casually, I would like to ask everyone present, do you agree or oppose His Majesty's decision?"

"..."

At this time, not only the Queen Mother and Mr. He Ge were speechless, but all the officials in the palace were also speechless.

Chu Xuan's eyes widened and he couldn't help but feel envious and excited as he watched Chu Zhao silence everyone with just a few words. His blood boiled all over his body.

Princess Jingnan was so fierce that even he, the emperor, felt ashamed.

He has lived under the control of his mother and uncle since he was a child. He has always dreamed of having such a shining moment when he is able to quarrel with other scholars and be powerful in all directions, but he does not have the ability or the courage to do so.

Princess Jingnan was a female figure, but she did what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do. He didn't think she was overbearing, but instead felt that she was more charming than before, and that she was a rare and wonderful woman in the world.

"What Princess Jingnan said makes sense. Our ancestors are emperors, and I am also an emperor. As an emperor, I can naturally establish new rules." Chu Xuan said, "What's more, I don't want to break the rules of my ancestors. I just serve Prince Jingnan outside the rules." Why not make an exception to reward the couple for their contribution to the court?"

No one in the civil and military circles in the court responded. Seeing His Majesty the Emperor talking as if he was stimulated, and completely ignoring the Queen Mother and the Elder, everyone was stunned and wondered if he had been possessed by a ghost. body.

The Queen Mother also looked at the emperor with a strange look, wondering if he had been tricked.

He Yunjie and his father looked at each other and were about to stand up to refute Chu Xuan. Feng Guanlan suddenly took the lead and knelt down, shouting: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Officials from Feng Guanlan's faction also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Chu Zhao also shouted.

When Chu Xuan received her approval, he was immediately elated and flew into the clouds.

The officials from the He family's father and son faction were all caught by surprise and looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to remedy the situation.

At this time, Feng Guanlan suddenly mentioned: "Master Fang, as the censor of Zuodu, what do you think of His Majesty's decision?"

This voice made everyone startled. The next moment, all eyes in the palace were focused on Fang Weixian, the censor of Zuodu.

Fang Weixian secretly yelled something bad, and secretly cursed Feng Guanlan in his heart for being a dead eunuch who doesn't handle human affairs.

Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Feng Guanlan and Xiaoge Lao, he was the only one who knew Princess Jingnan, and Princess Jingnan was also his mother's savior.

But he happened to be from the He family's father and son camp.

He didn't know how to balance this relationship, so as soon as Princess Jingnan entered the palace, he lowered his head and tried his best to hide himself, for fear that Princess Jingnan would recognize him and say hello to him.

But who would have thought that he escaped from Princess Jingnan, only to be snatched out by Feng Guanlan.

Now, everyone is looking at him, including Princess Jingnan.

If he agrees with the emperor, the elders and elders will definitely not let him go.

If he opposed the emperor, and if Princess Jingnan revealed the fact that his old mother was pregnant and had an abortion in a rage, how could he have the face to hang out in official circles?

There were dead ends on both sides and death on both sides. He really didn't know what to do.

"Master Fang, please speak. Is it so difficult to decide whether you can do it or not?" Feng Guanlan urged.

"Yes, Mr. Fang, we are still fellow villagers. You have to say something fair for me and the prince!" Chu Zhao also said.

fellow?

When the courtiers were reminded by Chu Zhao, they immediately remembered that Fang Weixian had praised Princess Jingnan for her superb medical skills and cured his mother's chronic illness. He also strongly recommended Princess Jingnan to come to Beijing to treat the Queen Mother's illness.

He had obviously known Princess Jingnan for a long time, but when everyone asked who she was, he was stunned and didn't say a word. He was really an old fox!

So everyone started to criticize him: "Master Fang, we have always regarded you as a leader, please say something quickly!"

Fang Weixian wanted to die. He wanted to hit his head against a pillar and die.

After thinking about it, I still felt that losing an official position was a small matter, but being embarrassed was a big deal. So I gritted my teeth, knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

He Pingchuan immediately turned cold and looked at him with a sinister look.

He Yunjie seemed to have expected that he would betray him. He held the wat board with his knuckled hands and pursed his thin lips tightly without saying a word.

The matter has reached this point, and his speech will have no effect.

Yesterday in the emperor's palace, he had already realized that something was wrong, and specifically informed the queen mother, asking the queen mother to give the emperor a death order.

He did not expect that the always obedient emperor would dare to disobey the Queen Mother's will, and he did not expect that Chu Zhao and Feng Guanlan would cooperate so well, as if they had rehearsed countless times in advance.

All he could say was that he underestimated these two men again.

And the current situation cannot be restored by his own efforts.

Forget it, isn't it just a welcome ceremony? Even if the emperor comes out of the city to welcome him in person, it doesn't matter if the whole capital praises King Jingnan's reputation. As long as he finds a way to turn King Jingnan into a dead man, no matter how high the praise is, it will be useless. A piece of paper.

He Yunjie pursed his lips, held the wat in his hand and bowed it to the end, and a cold voice sounded in the hall: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

The official standing behind him was stunned for a moment, and then shouted casually: "Your Majesty is wise!"

He Pingchuan was so angry that his face was livid, and he knew in his heart that the situation was irreversible. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami resounded through the hall. Chu Xuan was so excited that his whole body trembled and tears filled his eyes.

After being the emperor for so many years, this was the first time he experienced this feeling.

This feeling is so damn good!

Feng Guanlan was right, he was the emperor, and as long as he toughened up, no one would dare to do anything to him.

Speaking of which, all this was because of Princess Jingnan. If it wasn't for the sake of pleasing Princess Jingnan, he might not have dared to make such a change in his life.

Princess Jingnan is really his lucky star!

Chu Xuan excitedly raised his hand to let the ministers stand down, completely ignoring the Queen Mother's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and immediately said: "Since all the dear ladies have no objections, the matter has been settled. Tomorrow morning, all dear ladies will accompany Feng Da The general manager will go out of the city to welcome King Jingnan to the capital."

"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's will." The courtiers responded in unison.

Chu Zhao struck while the iron was hot, expressed his gratitude to Chu Xuan with tears in his eyes, and then asked him: "I have been separated from the prince for several months, and I am very worried about you. I beg your Majesty to allow me to leave the city with Manager Feng tomorrow." We welcome the prince to relieve our husband and wife’s pain of missing each other.”

"..." Chu Xuan's heart suddenly became sour.

But the beauty was crying, pitiful, and he really couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "I allow you to go, but you will still have to stay in the palace to treat the Queen Mother afterwards. You can not return to Jingnan Palace until the Queen Mother recovers." .”

"Yes, my wife, thank you for your grace." Chu Zhao thanked him, his joy was beyond words.

His eyes were full of tears one moment, and he was smiling like flowers the next moment. Chu Xuan was lost in her smile and felt like he had done a great good deed.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her heart and blood surged, and her vision went dark and she fainted.

"Aunt!" He Yunjie exclaimed in surprise, and caught her falling body in time. He was no longer as calm as before, and called Chu Zhao hurriedly, "Princess, please see what's wrong with the Queen Mother."

Chu Zhao stretched out his hand to support the Queen Mother with him, and whispered: "Mr. Xiaoge, now you know why I insisted on following you, right?"

He Yunjie: "..."
