Most of the ministers who can be called to the Qinzheng Hall for discussion are important ministers in the court.

Either the prime minister, the Tai Tu, or the head of the Six Ministries.

However, Yan Donghuang did not enter Qinzheng Palace many times to discuss matters, and the few times he entered were related to war.

Today is the first time she has entered the Qinzheng Hall in the name of the regent of the country.

There were many imperial memorials, and the palace people stood aside quietly.

It is now the end of the year, and things are all backlogged together. It will not be easy to deal with them, but these are not the most important things.

What matters is the attitude of the ministers. They obviously cannot accept the fact that the princess is in charge. Although they are forced to obey the holy will, they always feel like a child's play in their hearts.

So when King An said that he wanted to have a chat with the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor, Prime Minister Pei, Taifu Qi and the six ministers naturally slowed down and chatted while walking. They truthfully told King An about the shortcomings of the empress' rule and their worries. .

King An listened without saying a word, nodding from time to time, with a gentle and restrained expression: "Since my father has decided on this matter, I only hope that you all can cooperate with Donghuang. She has been on the battlefield for many years, and her temperament is somewhat similar to that of my father. "She is not a soft-tempered person. Please try not to confront her head-on."

Prime Minister Jiang nodded: "Your Highness Prince An, please rest assured that we have a sense of discretion."

"Although the order of heaven and earth cannot always be disrupted, the eldest princess... no, the temperament of Her Royal Highness is actually similar to that of a man, even far better than that of many men. I feel that a daughter should not be used to judge whether she should sit on the throne." Taifu Qi He sighed softly, "They are all the emperor's children. If the rule that the eldest son is the heir does not apply, then it should be based on ability. This is the most responsible decision for the Yong Dynasty."

The queen's legitimate son is the person most qualified to inherit the country.

But a while ago, the prince did something wrong and was deposed as the prince. The other princes were secretly vying for that position.

If there is enough time for the emperor to understand the abilities of the princes in more detail, perhaps he can also choose a prince who satisfies the emperor.

But the emperor has been on the battlefield for many years, and his understanding of the princes is far inferior to that of Yan Donghuang, who followed him to the battlefield.

However, the emperor's dragon body is weak, and whether he can survive this winter is a question. There is not so much time to understand the abilities and conduct of each prince, so there is no logical reason for the emperor to establish it.

Under such circumstances, he could very well understand the emperor's decision to appoint Princess Qingluan as his heir apparent.

Prime Minister Jiang looked at him in surprise, obviously not expecting Taifu Qi to say such words.

After all, the Taifu is the teacher of the current emperor.

What he teaches is the way of the emperor, which is the inheritance of rules and systems from ancient times. He is also a person who adheres to the views of ancient sages.

The ancient sages inherited that men are respected.

Every important status and position in the world is held by men, including emperors, ministers, generals, wives, merchants, officials... Women are only responsible for managing the back house, serving their parents-in-law, caring for their husbands and educating their children.

If the practice of women taking power begins, won’t the yin and yang principles be reversed in the future?

If everyone is as ambitious as Yan Donghuang, who will serve his parents-in-law and educate their children in the future? Who will keep the peace in the back house?

With all the women out there showing their faces, how can men concentrate on studying and striving for a bright future?

"Taifu supports my father's decision?" King An was slightly surprised, and was obviously surprised by Taifu Qi's words.

Taifu Qi was silent for a moment: "The imperial decree cannot be violated."

Prince An narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Let's go to the Qinzheng Palace first. Don't keep the Crown Princess waiting for too long."

Prime Minister Pei sighed, turned around and walked towards Qinzheng Hall.

In fact, he knew that the things decided by the emperor could not be changed, and he also knew that what Taifu Qi said was extremely reasonable. It was indeed better for those with outstanding abilities to sit in the country.

But once this precedent is set, the consequences will be disastrous.

Everyone had different thoughts. When they reached the Qinzheng Hall, they found that there was no one in the Qinzheng Hall... Well, Yan Donghuang was not there, but there were still other eunuchs.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has left." A eunuch replied respectfully.

"Leave?" Prime Minister Pei was puzzled, "Aren't you here to discuss matters at the Qinzheng Hall?"

"The eldest princess came here just now. After reviewing the memorial on the case, she left first when she saw that the adults were not here."

Prime Minister Pei's expression changed slightly.

They had just been chatting for a while on the road and wasted a little time. They didn't expect Yan Donghuang to leave so soon.

There were so many memorials on the case, even if they didn't arrive in time, she could actually review the memorials first...

"The Crown Princess ordered all of you to do your work first, and go to the eldest princess's mansion after lunch to discuss matters." The young eunuch said, and pointed to the memorial on the case, "These memorials will be sent to the eldest princess's mansion later."

Prime Minister Pei was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the Crown Princess doesn't like to wait for others."

"Not necessarily." Taifu Qi said, "Maybe His Highness has other plans."

Yan Donghuang had already arrived at Pingyang Hou Mansion. In addition to Chang Lan and Chang Yue, he was accompanied by eight guards.

The servants of the Hou Mansion respectfully welcomed her to the warm pavilion in the east courtyard garden and reported: "The princess has just asked the doctor to take her pulse. She was very happy to learn that the eldest princess had arrived. She ordered the slaves to bring the eldest princess here to serve tea. Also, please Your Royal Highness, please sit down for a moment."

Chang Lanhe and Chang Yue looked at each other, and just as they were about to correct her address, Yan Donghuang raised his hand: "You go down first."

"yes."

Yan Donghuang was sitting in a warm pavilion in the garden. The pavilion was high up and he could have a panoramic view of the depression in the entire garden.

There are only a limited number of flowers that can be enjoyed in the winter garden. The Pingyang Marquis Mansion's family wealth is not as good as before, so the care of the garden is naturally not as good as that of the prince's and powerful ministers' mansion.

So it was really unreasonable for the servants of the Hou Mansion to take her to the warm pavilion in the garden.

Yan Donghuang turned around and looked.

The warm pavilion is connected to a long corridor, next to it is a tall courtyard wall, and on the other side of the wall is the West Garden.

The garden of the Hou Mansion is divided into the East Garden and the West Garden, separated by a high wall in the middle. If there are ordinary young masters passing by to admire the flowers and write poems, Pingyang Hou will entertain guests in the East Garden, drink wine, boxing, and discuss articles.

The west garden is used to entertain women.

It's just that Yan Donghuang has a noble status, so Pingyang Marquis naturally knows how to measure... well, although he doesn't know much about this.

It was a rare way to treat guests by leaving the majestic lady alone in the garden.

"Your Highness, what kind of hospitality is this in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion?" Chang Yue frowned, obviously feeling strange, "It's cold outside in winter, and there is no scenery to enjoy in this garden. Even if Princess Fengyang is seeing a doctor, Pingyang Marquis Mansion The old lady shouldn’t avoid seeing her, right?”

Yan Donghuang's identity was revealed here. The upright prince arrived, but the Hou Mansion only sent a maid to serve tea. It was really rude.

Yan Donghuang said calmly: "How did you know that Princess Fengyang didn't mean it?"

"What does Princess Fengyang mean?"

Changlan and Changyue were both puzzled. They looked at each other and looked at Yan Donghuang: "Why did the princess do this?"

Yan Donghuang said calmly: "We will know soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, an anxious voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the high wall: "Master Hou! Your Majesty has decreed that all members of the Chu family will be executed!"

Changlan and Changyue turned to look.

Naturally, they couldn't see anything through the high wall, but they could hear the sounds across the wall clearly.

The person reporting this should be a guard or a servant of the Hou Mansion.

After these words fell, there was a moment of silence next door.

Then a young man's angry voice sounded: "Is the Yong Kingdom almost exhausted? The emperor is old and foolish. Not only did he decide to let a princess take the throne, but he also allowed Yan Donghuang to cause chaos in the court and suppress loyalty. It is really chilling!"
