The Prime Minister has something to do

...that is, the emperor is the sage, the king of a country, the son of the real dragon, the master of the Shun Dynasty... It is his inviolable belief in his blood.

He didn't even dare to think about it.

For today's plan, He Houhan gritted his teeth and thought, anyway, Chongyuan has already established a concubine, even a prince... Why don't he just take this opportunity to use this reason to force the emperor to establish a queen - then he will immediately marry a wife to pass through the family , If it doesn't work, you can resign and leave.

He Houhan made up his mind, drafted a memorial, and called Luo Xiang in, telling him to go to several adults' houses immediately to deliver a message, and to gather at Changxiao Restaurant at noon today to discuss important matters. These ministers, whose identities The status is among the best in the court, and they all have good friends with him.

At this time, he had just come down to the court, and the official robe had not been changed yet.He Houhan lowered his head and looked at the crane flying among the colorful clouds on the front of his robe, touched it with his fingers, and found that the tentacles were smooth and smooth, good material and good embroidery skills.

He Houhan was chatting with the person next to him, that person had sharp eyes, and he saw He Houhan's back at a glance, "Master Yang is here."

He Houhan turned around and said affectionately: "Master Yang came very early."

The official with the surname Yang was named Shouguo, but he was called Zhongyong, but he followed the doctrine of the mean for most of his life, so he was not reused by the previous emperor, but he was on good terms with the He family. The young lady played around, so she was close to Master Yang, and he even called him Uncle Yang when he was young.After He Houhan became the prime minister, he still had trust in Master Yang, so he recommended him to Chongyuan. Now that Master Yang has been appointed as the Minister of the Central Committee, he is considered to be a leader and has a prosperous official career.

When Yang Shouguo first became an official, he had no background at all. At that time, the old emperor's health was worsening day by day, and the power of the major families in the court was divided and undercurrents were turbulent. Therefore, he had no choice but to choose the way of being wise, protecting his life, and the mean. Not greedy for vanity, after being recommended by He Houhan, he soon became a celebrity in front of Chongyuan, took over Tian Xihan's official position, and became Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Yang Shouguo had thought about it carefully before he came. The emperor had just appointed a crown prince, and now is a sensitive period. No matter what the ministers do, they need to be cautious. Such a big move by the prime minister...is not a trivial matter.

He Houhan waited for a while, and all the ministers arrived. He Houhan took a sip of his tea, turned his gaze back from the bustling traffic downstairs, and said with a light smile, "Today, the truth is looking for some of you to come. It’s for the emperor’s establishment of a queen.”

As soon as these words came out, several people were shocked.

The emperor's establishment of a prince was abrupt enough, and the prime minister immediately raised this very important question, which had to make these ministers who had been officials for more than ten years feel hesitant.

He Houhan naturally knew what they were thinking, he sighed lightly, and said: "The several ministers are highly valued by the emperor, and they are on good terms with me, so I don't want to hide the truth. In fact, since the birth of Prince Mingqiao, the truth has already been revealed. Knowing this, the emperor was worried that the little prince would be too young to be self-reliant, so he has been reluctant to enrich the harem."

These few words were logical, impeccable, and sincere. He Houhan was naturally concerned about the country and the people. He said such words were even more recognized, and several ministers nodded involuntarily.

He Houhan continued: "The truth is that I carry the late emperor's last wish, and I have felt the greatness of the emperor's grace in the past few years. I am so grateful for being so appreciated and promoted by the Tian family. Naturally, the emperor's needs and the emperor's wishes are the most important in everything. , so I had no choice but to hide the news at that time, and waited for Prince Mingqiao to grow up according to the emperor's wishes."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject, "However, now the emperor has made this matter known to the world, and his biological mother has also been named the head of the four concubines. I am highly valued by the emperor, and I am relied on by the emperor. Naturally, I have to think about it again for the royal family." .”

Yang Shouguo could already hear the meaning behind He Houhan's words, but he didn't make a sound, just staring at He Houhan while concentrating on it.

He Houhan finally turned to the main topic: "Prince Mingqiao is less than two years old now, but his biological mother, Concubine De, is the only one in the huge harem. This has never happened before in the royal families of all dynasties. The truth is that I sleep and eat for this matter." Uneasy, just imagine...how such special conditions will affect the crown prince?" He unconsciously became anxious, "The truth is bold to discuss today, the concubine De concubine was born as a court lady, and the mother is the only one who is honored by her son. Concubine, now she has a high status in the harem, she holds great power, if there is no mother of a country to restrain her... Over time, what kind of character Prince Mingqiao will develop is really worrying."

A minister stroked his beard and said: "The prime minister is right. The emperor's housework does not need the minister to worry about it, but the crown prince is the crown prince of a country, and he will be in charge of all the people in the future. The self-cultivation that the crown prince cultivated since childhood is the most important thing. .The emperor is still young, so it is inevitable that he will not do things well, and we, the old ministers, really cannot stand by and watch."

Only then did He Houhan turn his gaze to Yang Shouguo, and said: "Master Yang, to be honest, I have always heard that the young lady of the Yang family is beautiful, talented and gentle, she is a well-known Shuyuan in the capital. Besides, Mr. Yang is a man. He is upright, loyal, and highly valued by the emperor, and he thought that Ling Qianjin could be a queen." He was not afraid of the jealousy of the other ministers, because only Yang Shouguo had a daughter of the right age among them.

Yang Shouguo pondered for a moment, and said: "Although my daughter can't be considered a beautiful woman, she also knows a thing or two about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she can be regarded as a noble family. But the officials don't know what the emperor thinks? If the emperor doesn't have this intention, I'm afraid it won't happen. This matter."

He Houhan answered fluently, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, you and I are the emperor's right-hand men, and we have no quarrel with the families of generals, and the respected and respected old ministers will stand by our side again, out of emotion and reason, the emperor carefully considers it." I will always agree later."

Mr. Yang knows what He Houhan said is very true, besides, he is now very popular, and his background is not as good as that of the big families. If a daughter enters the royal family, it will be of great benefit to him, and now the prime minister is taking the lead...

Yang Shouguo quickly discerned the pros and cons, cupped his hands and said coldly to He Hou: "Then I would like to thank the Prime Minister for your kindness."

He Houhan said with a smile: "In the future, the truth will depend on Master Yang."

The author has something to say: the next chapter and the next chapter have a […] plot…

There will definitely be mushrooms who will be struck by lightning...

So I think again... ==

what is the prime minister panicking

"I have the book." He Houhan took a step forward, took out the book from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it to the eunuch waiting at the side.

Chong Yuan sat on the dragon chair, glanced at him casually, and said casually: "The Prime Minister has looked a little haggard recently, I will call an imperial physician to show you tomorrow."

He Houhan was already used to Chongyuan giving him various gifts in the early court, he immediately replied: "The emperor is concerned, I just feel a little uncomfortable because of the cold weather, it's not a serious problem."

At this moment, Chong Yuan accepted the memorial presented by the cold-faced eunuch, and was looking at it with lowered eyes, not feeling happy or angry, while talking to him: "Ai Qing, please take good care of your body, and don't make your business too busy."

Only He Houhan can enjoy the honor of being above the court, and the other ministers have long since stopped staring and listening to each other as usual.At this moment, the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, except for a few insiders, most of the ministers were secretly speculating about what book He Houhan wrote and whether it was related to him.

Chongyuan looked at it quickly, he closed the folder and put it aside, and asked calmly: "What do you think about the establishment of the crown prince?"

All the ministers looked at each other, unable to figure out what Chongyuan meant, after a while a civil servant stood up and said: "I think that the emperor's appointment of a crown prince in our Shun Dynasty is a good way to stabilize the people's hearts."

Chong Yuan nodded and said, "Not bad."

As soon as one person started, there was a lot of discussion among ministers, some shouted the emperor's sageness, some praised the emperor's wisdom, and some were sincere, but most of them were flattering.

Empress He watched with cold eyes, his understanding of Chong Yuan was far better than these ministers, he knew that the emperor's question was not about this, so he just waited silently, but felt that things were different from what he expected.Until the hall became quiet again, Chong Yuan still did not speak. He Houhan gritted his teeth and moved his eyes, signaling to Mr. Hu who agreed with him the day before yesterday in Changxiao Building.

Mr. Hu is getting old, but his eyes are very good. He got a hint from He Houhan, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think it is good to establish a crown prince, but he lacks consideration. The crown prince is the future emperor. The mother of a country teaches that veterans worry about it day and night, and it is hard to feel at ease."

Chong Yuan finally opened his mouth and said: "You are right."

He Houhan was startled, he didn't expect Chong Yuan to be so easy to talk, and suddenly felt that something might have changed.

Sure enough, Chong Yuan slowly said: "But it is a big event to be a queen. The father was appointed a queen when he was 25 years old, and the emperor was earlier, and he only became a queen after [-] years. Although Mrs. Yang's daughter is both talented and beautiful, she is not as young as her age. I agree, but at sixteen, how can a young girl of a cardamom age take on the important task of the entire harem?"

Speaking of this, the officials in the Hall of Virtuous Harmony had already understood, and all their eyes were on He Houhan and Yang Shouguo.

Hu Shangshu was about to speak again, Chong Yuan waved his hand and said: "I know what you are worried about, the prime minister's booklet is very clear, besides, Hu Shangshu's words are not unreasonable." Han swept across his body, his expression didn't fluctuate but he seemed to know everything well, Chong Yuan continued: "The matter of becoming an empress should not be rushed, I decided to enshrine Lord Yang's daughter as Concubine Shu, share the harem with Concubine De, and teach the crown prince together. "

Yang Shouguo hurriedly knelt down to thank him. Although he was not the queen, concubine Shu was also one of the four concubines. She was only below the concubine De. Who knows what will happen in the future?Yang Shouguo was full of joy, and couldn't hide his excitement when he kowtowed.

But He Houhan felt his eyes darken, and when he looked at Chongyuan again, he suddenly realized that the aloof emperor looked unhappy or unhappy.
