Guo Ye contacted the ministers and prepared to give Li Yifu the grandest marriage proposal ceremony. This preparation has not yet been completed, a very important news came through, three days later, in the Jiulian Hall of Jiuzhi Mountain, His Majesty Li Er is going to start the early dynasty again.

It's like when I was about to invite a beautiful woman to watch a movie at night, and the beautiful woman suddenly called and said that I had opened a room.

The sky and the earth are big, and His Majesty Li Er is the biggest. The preparations for the courtship will be stopped immediately. The ministers contacted each other and prepared to strike a fatal blow at the Guo Demon Maiden in the early court.

However, they soon discovered that they were too naïve.

Above the Golden Palace, His Majesty Li Er's face sank like water, and he only spit out one word, saying, "Read." ”

Dong Shun held the edict in his hand and read it in a low voice: "Zhao said, I heard that the world does not change, and it will not become a Shihua; Yin and yang remain the same, and things are not smooth...... The harem can't be left unowned...... There are Yin concubines, appearance and Dejia, the birth of the prince Ziyou, there is a Si Yin Concubine should be Fengzong Temple, for the mother of the world ......"

"Your Majesty, no, no!" The ministers knelt on the ground.

"Why not?"

"This ......"

Yes, why not? It's hard to answer.

Since the death of Empress Changsun, the rumor that Concubine Yin is going to be the queen has spread many times, and people's ears have to grind out cocoons.

Why is there so much gossip? The key is that the quality of the people is excellent.

First, in terms of status, in His Majesty Li Er's harem, in addition to the queen, there are four noble concubines. Yin Guifei is one of them, and she is only one step away from the queen's throne. Now that the queen's position is vacant, are people not qualified to progress?

Second, Concubine Yin's belly was angry and gave birth to the prince Li You. Now His Majesty Li Er's adult princes are none other than the crown prince Li Zhi and the king of Qi Li You. The crown prince's mother, Empress Changsun, has passed away. Concubine Yin has the merit of giving birth to the king of Qi, and compared with other concubines, it can be said that she has an advantage.

Third, and most importantly, Concubine Yin is deeply favored by His Majesty Li Er.

As soon as these three reasons come out, who will compete with the harem women? Therefore, it is natural for people to be the queen concubine, and everyone expects it.

Now that His Majesty Li Er has made a holy decree in response to the heavens, of course, there is nothing wrong with it.

Everyone knelt down to oppose it, of course, because they wanted Fang Xuanling's prophecy at the beginning: the first step, the Yin Concubine is the last; The second step is to abolish the prince and make Li You the prince; The third step is to assassinate His Majesty Li Er, and Li You ascends the throne.

But how could such unsubstantiated words be said in the Golden Temple? Up to now, people miss the deceased troll Wei Zheng Wei Xuancheng.

Seeing that no one could answer, Fang Xuanling could only go into battle shirtless.

He said, "Your Majesty, it is not in accordance with the laws of the court that you are doing this. For such a big matter as the establishment of the queen, how can it be stamped with the big seals of the Chinese book, the Shangshu, and the three provinces under the door, as well as the signature of the minister on duty. Now just by stamping your big seal, the Yin Concubine will be crowned the queen? This is also too sloppy. ”

"That's okay. Today, all of you are here, just stamp it. ”

"Still not right. The Great Seals of all the ministries are in Chang'an City, not in Jiuzhi Mountain. Why don't you ......" Fang Xuanling said cautiously: "After the seal, let's discuss it later." ”

"What's going on? Since you have no objections, after you return to Chang'an, just help me stamp the big seal. Retire ......"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can't!" The minister has something to say. ”

"What else do you want to say?"

"Concubine Yin can't be the queen!"

"Why?"

"Because...... Because...... She came from a bad background! ”

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly and said, "What is your background?" She has a bad background, can't I just promote her? Didn't I give people the power to be rich? ”

Fang Xuanling didn't give an inch, and said: "Your Majesty can give people wealth, but for the Yin concubine, the position of the concubine has reached the top." It is not appropriate to re-entitle the queen. ”

"Why?"

Fang Xuanling said eloquently: "I think that when I started an army against Sui in Taiyuan, Concubine Yin's father, Yin Shishi, was a Sui general, and he killed all His Majesty's family members in Chang'an, including Gaozu's youngest son, that is, His Majesty's younger brother Li Zhiyun. ”

"Li Zhiyun was 14 years old at the time, and it was a pity that he died."

"Later, our Tang army conquered Chang'an and killed eighty-seven people in the Yin Shi's mansion, leaving only the Yin concubine and the young son Yin Hongzhi. Gaozu later rewarded you with the Yin Concubine. ”

"In other words, Yin Guifei's father killed your own brother, and your father killed Yin Guifei's parents. In this case, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, it should be ordered and divorced on the grounds of "unrighteousness". ”

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you can make an exception. But sealing Concubine Yin as a noble concubine is already a grace of heaven. It is really unreasonable to be crowned queen again. I also hope that His Majesty will take back his order. ”

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, His Majesty Li Er hadn't spoken yet, and there was one person who couldn't help it first.

He said loudly: "It's very inappropriate for the Fang Xiang to say this. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with His Majesty sealing the concubine as the queen.

What he said was Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

His Majesty Li Er said happily: "Xu Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has the most say in this matter. You give the servant a good explanation. ”

"Wechen obeys."

Xu Jingzong pursed his lips, came to Fang Xuanling's face, and said, "Fang Xiang, what you just said seems to be reasonable, but it is actually a big mistake. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"When I first established the Tang Dynasty, the concubine system was different from that of the previous dynasty. All the women except for Empress Changsun are all family members of prisoners who have not entered the palace. The situation of the concubine sounds scary, but in fact, the other concubines are similar, no big deal. ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Of course I know this. But the past is the past, and the present is the present. Now that the world is unified and the four seas are leveled, how can there be so many daughters of criminal officials? Naturally, the system of selecting palace maids should be different from the past. ”

"We're talking about the queen, not the selection of palace maids!"

"It's the same with Immediately. Since the other concubines are not suitable to be the queen, His Majesty can choose a virtuous lady and a clean net worth from among the folk women as the queen. ”

"How can that work? Concubine Yin gave birth to Li You, the king of Qi, for His Majesty! What is the merit of a woman chosen from the people? ”

Fang Xuanling rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it just giving birth?" Who wouldn't? Your Majesty is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and has selected hundreds of ten women to enter the palace. After two or three years, I will ensure that there will be more princes. When the time comes, one of the women who gave birth to a prince can be made queen. ”

"You are teaching Your Majesty to indulge in women!"

"Joke, you say this as if Your Majesty is not indulging in women now."

Fang Xuanling's prime minister is really not in vain, and he had a quarrel with Xu Jingzong, and it was very easy to gain the upper hand.

You must know that Xu Jingzong is not an ordinary person. People can achieve this position, not by merit, but by lip service.

Fang Xuanling was able to fight and win, and to be honest, it was almost beyond everyone's expectations, including Xu Jingzong.

After a big defeat in the strongest one, Xu Jingzong was annoyed and angry, and he scolded: "Fang Xuanling, you are an old immortal." His Majesty has died of his wife and wants to find a continuation. What's your business? Why are you pushing left and right? ”

"Oh, I see. Your old boy is useless with that thing in his crotch, and he is jealous of His Majesty's dragon spirit and tiger fierceness. If you don't use it, you go home and take medicine, what are you crazy about in the Golden Palace? ”

"You stinking old gangster, let me die! Early death and early superbirth! I can smell your corpse in the Golden Palace, why are you still holding this breath? Ready to become a zombie? ”

Xu Jingzong's words were unreasonable, illogical, and full of malicious speculation and abuse. Fang Xuanling couldn't resist it.

Not to mention that he is a prime minister, the Jade Emperor is useless. Xu Jingzong willingly degenerated into a stinky dog. , who would dare to step on his head again?

Fang Xuanling's straight liver trembled, and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong is full of foul language. Weichen impeached him for disgrace before the monarch. ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "That matter of Liyin Guifei being the queen......"

"Wechen is resolutely opposed."

"That's it...... Fang Aiqing, although what Xu Jingzong said just now was a little rude, it was not rough. ”

"Weichen only heard the sound of abuse, but did not hear any reason."

"How can it not be? For example, just now, people said that you smelled of corpses, and I thought it made a lot of sense. ”

"Your Majesty, you ......"

"What's wrong with me? You're too old to be told? If you want me to say, your old man should have begged for bones a long time ago, and now he still can't go to the stack, which will only make people laugh! ”

Fang Xuanling couldn't believe his ears and said, "I'm begging bones? ”

"Exactly! From tomorrow onwards, you will not be the right servant of Shangshu to shoot. Of course, as an old minister, you will not be less rewarded. Xu Jingzong! ”

"Wechen is here!"

"Fang Xuanling's affairs are in charge of your Ministry of Rites, and you must do it beautifully."

"Yes!"

"The position of Shangshu's right servant is vacant, you have done this matter well, and this position will be given to you."

"This ...... Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

How many years does it usually take from just becoming a Shangshu to being named prime minister? If you are lucky, you will be unlucky, and if you are unlucky, you will be hopeless for life.

What about Xu Jingzong? Three years! It's only been three years!

The most important thing is not time, but reason! Can Fang Xuanling's retirement be promoted?

Nima, which is also called credit?

His Majesty Li Er, this is a red fruit fruit to show everyone that if you support Liyin Guifei, you will be promoted to an official and make a fortune. Otherwise, even Fang Xuanling will go home and eat old rice!

It's also too majestic!

This is also too overbearing!

It's also too ...... It's mediocre!

It's also too ...... I was able to compare with the Tsuki!

The ministers looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically - could it be that the rumors that His Majesty Li Er was confused by the demon girl were all true?

Seeing that the people were shocked, His Majesty Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "I want to establish Concubine Yin as the queen, who is in favor of it?" Who is against? ”
