As the saying goes:

Once the emperor and the courtiers, there are thousands of miles of dust in the mountains and rivers.

The emperor changed, the power changed, and the situation in the court was turbulent.Those who dominate the world, those who flatter, those who form cliques, those who are depressed...but all those who belonged to the previous dynasty will be the same after the new emperor ascends the throne.

In recent days, the weather has gradually cooled down, and the rainy season and summer heat have gradually faded away; in six days, it will be the Qiqiao Festival.

Wen Yining rubbed his slightly painful forehead, looked up at the crescent moon outside inadvertently: every year at this time, the poor couple in the sky will meet, and the lovers on the earth also look forward to a happy marriage.

It's a pity, Wen Yining looked at the dark crowd in his palace, all of them were blushing and neck thick.No matter how good the day was, Wen Yining was not in the mood anymore.

What's more, he is the empress dowager, the late emperor is newly mourned, a good relationship or a married couple have nothing to do with him.

In the morning, he finally got rid of Wei Fengguo's entanglement in the Jinlang, and returned to his Shou'an Palace. Not long after he changed his python robe, the courtiers in front of him came noisy.

The first person was Ning Wang Gu Shixin who gave him a headache, but what made him even more headache and worried was the little emperor who was sitting in his arms and sleeping peacefully——Ling Fengman.

The courtiers gathered in his palace at such a late hour was precisely for the newly enthroned little emperor.

"Master Empress Dowager, forgive me for saying something that is not pleasant to me. With such qualifications as the emperor, it is barely enough to be a county lord. How can he become a wise emperor? The world of the Jin Dynasty must not be ruined in the hands of a fool like this!"

Wen Yining raised his eyes and saw that the foreign censor was a smart man, knowing that he didn't think highly of him, and that the bribe given to Wei Fengguo was broken in the brocade corridor, so he just broke his face with him. On the side of King Ning.Now, Wen Yining had nothing to do with him.

"Then, who do you think is more suitable to be the emperor?"

Wen Yining brought up the topic again. He wanted to see how many people like Wai Yushi Shilang were in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty——Ling Fengman was really not suitable to inherit the great rule, but he was in a hurry now The person who made King Ning succeed to the throne must be ambitious and have ulterior motives.

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay when he asked, and in the end it was the veteran official of the three dynasties, the Bachelor of Nayange, who came forward to make peace with him:

"I don't think the emperor is bad, it's just that when the emperor is young, there are always all kinds of discomfort and inappropriateness, and someone needs to teach him well in the future..."

"Hmph, what your lord said is wrong," said the servant of the foreign censor, "Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne at the age of six, and Dezong and Ruizong were both at the same age of eight when they ascended the throne. Your lord said that the emperor is young and needs someone to teach. Are you accusing the queen mother of not taking good care of her master?"

"Old, old minister didn't mean that!"

The Nayange University scholar panicked, and immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow to apologize, but Wen Yining stopped him:

"Your Excellency is an old minister, it is also appropriate to ask a few questions, besides—"

He turned his head and stared at the instigating foreign censor for a while before continuing, "Besides, it's true that I didn't teach this child well, and I neglected to discipline him for eight years. It’s embarrassing for an adult. But the emperor’s son is the only son of the first emperor, and now he has ascended the throne as the emperor, so no one can question him at will.”

"Master Empress Dowager," You Nayan said casually with curly hair, "Forgive me for taking the liberty, although the emperor is the only prince of the late emperor, but if I remember well, the child's mother—is Concubine Ren?"

"Concubine Ren?!"

"Concubine Ren, Ren Erma? The Princess of the Great Rong Kingdom who was married?"

"Didn't she die a long time ago? That crazy woman is the emperor's biological mother?"

"..."

Originally, the courtiers were not very clear about Ling Fengman's life experience, at most the royal family and nobles knew about it, but now that You Nayan had exposed it, the courtiers talked about each other, showing embarrassment——

Of course Wen Yining understood their worries. The Great Rongguo had been at war with the Jin Dynasty for several years, and Rongdi and the people of the Central Plains were feuds.In the reign of Emperor He, Boyanhe, the monarch of Dayong Kingdom, married his daughter Boyan Renerma to Jin Chaolai to marry him in order to protect his status as the leader of the tribe, and became the concubine of Ling Yushu, who was still the prince at that time.

Renji didn't understand Chinese, and later Ling and Shu led people to fight against the kingdom of Dayong, captured the twelve kings of Dayong, and finally destroyed Dayong.She hated her husband so much - killing her father and brother, ruining her family.

Ren Ji Ganglie, ever since she knew that she was unfortunately pregnant with the enemy's child, she tried her best to drink the decoction of abortion every day.Ling Feng was slow to live, and was not killed by the abortion drug, but he was congenitally deficient and became a fool.

When Wen Yining met Ling Fengman for the first time, it was Renji who was chasing him frantically with a pair of scissors—to kill this child bleeding from the enemy with her own hands.

Even if this child is her own flesh and blood.

Ren Ji was so crazy, everyone in the capital knew it at that time.

It's just that after Ling Yushu succeeded to the throne, Ling Fengman was made the first prince, and Renji was also made the concubine Ren, so people forgot about these scandals, and now they are brought up again...

Glancing at You Nayan, this curly-haired, slender man smiled coquettishly. For a moment, Wen Yining didn't know what the other party meant, so he coughed lightly and said:

"Tai-zu's mother is still unknown. Wu Zong came from the abandoned palace, and Jing Zong's mother was originally from Miao people. Why - do you think that we are in a state of prosperity, and we can't tolerate Rongdi women as royal family members? "

"The empress dowager's words are not bad, but the Tai-zu has created an immortal foundation. Although Wu Zong's biological mother was a disused concubine, she was also a Han woman and a noble concubine. The Miao people and our Jin Dynasty have had good friends from generation to generation, and they can't compare with Rong. Di Jihan has been an enemy of our Jin Dynasty for generations, seized thousands of hectares of fertile land on our border, and killed our innocent people in the Jin Dynasty. I think King Ning is very good, and he is also a blood relative of the Ling family, much better than this idiot."

"Rong and Di are in chaos, how can a child be blamed?"

Wen Yining knew that the servant of the imperial censor was eloquent, but he didn't expect that You Nayan was also a sacrificial lotus who liked to pester endlessly.Calmly blocking the other party's mouth, Wen Yining then turned to look at King Ning Gu Shixin who had been silent all this time:

"But I don't know what the prince thinks about this matter?"

King Ning smiled, turned his head and bowed respectfully to Wen Yining:

"I feel that the emperor is still young and doesn't know much, so he just needs to find some masters to teach him well. The mistakes made at today's ceremony and the troubles that happened earlier are all children's minds, so it's no big deal of."

After hearing this, Wen Yining glanced at the Minister of Foreign Censors, whether intentionally or unintentionally——

The man's face was already pale, and he looked at King Ning in confusion and at a loss.

Wen Yining sneered in his heart, a mediocre person who is eager for quick success is easy to control, but King Ning has not broken himself with him, and the servant of the imperial censor is available or not for King Ning.

Misjudging his own value, in this uncertain court, is digging his own grave.

"If that's the case, then find a good master for the emperor..." Wen Yining looked at the officials, and was thinking of using the opportunity to find a teacher for the emperor, so that the power in the court could be slightly balanced.

The emperor teacher is often the foundation and beginning of the new emperor's power.

Wen Yining understands this truth, and King Ning understands it even more.

The Milky Way in the sky is dotted with stars, and the court on the ground is about to start a new contest between him and King Ning—it's just that the courtiers are used as pawns, and the game is the world.

The two looked at each other, and when they were about to speak, they heard the eunuch outside the door reporting:

"The palace supervisor is guarding Fengguo, and Eunuch Wei has arrived—"

Wei Fengguo?

What is he doing here?

Wen Yining was surprised, his cheeks were slightly hot, and his headache also aggravated.He didn't want to admit it at all, that person's presence was too obvious, so he couldn't ignore the heat that the other person left on his lips in the corridor in the morning.

Shaking his head, biting the tip of his tongue, Wen Yining told himself with a cold face that the other party was just a eunuch.An eunuch is not a man, let alone a queen mother, why should I be afraid?

When Wei Fengguo came in, he changed his frivolous behavior on the brocade corridor in the morning, bowed respectfully to Wen Yining, King Ning and all the lords, and then said:

"I know that all the lords are worried about the emperor and the affairs of the world in the palace, but I have a good idea. I wonder if all the lords are interested in hearing it?"

"Oh? What clever plan does Eunuch Wei have?"

Wen Yining watched King Ning and Wei Fengguo singing together, and thought that it would be fine to just see what happened.So, he nodded his approval to Wei Fengguo who was looking at him.

"This method was heard from people in my hometown from farther west. It is said that there is a country on the west coast. If their officials have something to discuss, and they don't want the country to be chaotic, they use an earthen pot to put it in the temple. , and then everyone entered the temple respectfully. If they agreed, they would put the pottery shards aside into the earthen jar. If they disagreed, they would break the pottery shards—in case someone threw extra pottery shards .”

Wei Fengguo talked eloquently, and Wen Yining and the others listened carefully. It was only at this time that everyone would not think that this person was a corrupted eunuch.

"In the end, just take the pottery fragments in the pot and count them. If more than half of the officials, you can make a decision. It doesn't hurt the peace and has the gods to testify. Isn't it the best way to do both?"

What Wei Fengguo said was unheard of by everyone, Wen Yining only paid attention to observe King Ning's expression - King Ning also looked surprised, it didn't look like he was pretending.

"So, Mr. Wei's method is very good, why don't we come here like this? The only thing is, we all need to stand beyond the sound of the fragments."

Wen Yining added that he didn't want his subjects to deliberately act against their conscience because they were afraid of being hated by King Ning.

"Okay, since the emperor's sister-in-law agrees, we will obey orders, Eunuch Wei, you go and prepare, prepare your method?"

"Yes, the minister takes orders."

Wei Fengguo's hands and feet were nimble, and he brought the things without waiting for a long time, and Wen Yining found that Wei Fengguo carefully put a layer of soft cloth on the bottom of the clay pot, so that the sound of throwing it into the pot was also weakened. Everyone stood far outside the hall, and only placed jars inside the hall.

Right now there are 60 courtiers in the Shou'an Palace, if more than half of them are 30, then Ling Feng can continue to be the emperor, if not, I'm afraid he will have to reconsider letting King Ning succeed him.

Wen Yining frowned and looked at the officials. Wei Fengguo got behind him at some point, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, guess what will happen?"

"..."

This abominable eunuch must have done it on purpose, Wen Yining shrank his neck: the side of his neck and ears are the most sensitive, he couldn't help but tremble all over when he was approached by someone, he was about to explode, the man had a low magnetic field The voice added another sentence:

"The two powers are in conflict, and the world is expected to be settled, so the third power must be introduced."
