King's Landing [Rebirth]

Sima Rong was tossed almost all night, and almost became a foolish emperor who "the king will never go to court early". Fortunately, Eunuch Tong did his best, so he pretended not to see the lazy figure of Prime Minister Wang on the dragon couch, and called out cautiously outside the tent. : "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court early!"

Sima Rong woke up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes to meet Wang Shuzhi's smiling eyes, he immediately gritted his teeth, not knowing what stimulated this usually restrained person, so he said with a dark face, "Get up!"

Wang Shuzhi leaned over and kissed him on the lips, and said with a smile, "I obey the order!"

Sima Rong wondered all night and soon got the answer after the morning court.

Contrary to his strong fighting spirit, the ministers below were extraordinarily radiant, handing in the papers one after another, and saying in unison like never before: It's time for the emperor to consider becoming a queen!

Sima Rong glanced at Wang Shuzhi, who stood at the front, thinking of his aggrieved face last night, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said loudly, "What does the Prime Minister think about this?"

Wang Shuzhi paused, raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a smile: "Although the establishment of a queen is a major national event, it is also the emperor's private matter. I think that the choice of the empress first needs to be loved by the emperor. Everything...but according to the emperor's will." .”

The other ministers were stunned for a moment, and immediately echoed their words, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts, thinking that the emperor's favorite is the favorite concubine, right?The queen is the head of the harem, so of course the first thing to consider is her family.

Sima Rong looked deeply at Wang Shuzhi, but it was a pity that he was far away. He could only see the smile on his face, but couldn't see the real emotion in his eyes. However, the two got along day and night, and Sima Rong knew Wang Shuzhi very well. As free and easy as the face.

At this moment, Wang Shuzhi was indeed a little nervous. At first, Sima Rong refused to accept him because of his status as the prince. At this time, the two had already connected with each other. Although he believed in Sima Rong's affection for him, the two had not clearly understood it. Lu, facing the constraints of secular etiquette, he still has some doubts about Sima Rong's attitude, fearing that he will compromise with the ministers.

The ministers below peeked at the people on the dragon chair, pondering their thoughts one by one, thinking that the candidate they recommended must stand out, but after waiting for a long time, the emperor did not speak, and when he looked carefully, he couldn't help being stunned: Your majesty, are you watching? What is the prime minister doing?The prime minister has let you decide for yourself!

After the Great Jin moved to the south, the successive emperors all had a common wish, which was to get rid of the control of the Langya Wang family. Now Wang Shuzhi expressed his unconditional support for the emperor. What a great opportunity!But the old man, the emperor, didn't speak for a long time, which worried the ministers to death.

Wang Shuzhi was flustered by Sima Rong's silence, and the smile on his face became a bit forced, but Sima Rong's lips suddenly curled up, and a very faint smile appeared on his face.

The ministers who were watching him secretly were stunned: since the emperor showed his face for the first time when he was the prince, until this morning, he had never shown a smile in front of others. At first, the ministers thought it was because he had suffered Cold reception and gloomy temperament, and later guessed that he was serious in order to maintain the majesty of the emperor, no matter what, no one expected to see the emperor suddenly showing a smile at this time, although the smile was very shallow.

It seems... the emperor is very happy!

But what does the emperor mean when he looks at Wang Chengxiang and smiles?Did the prime minister's words please him?

The ministers below are looking forward to it, like chicks waiting to be fed, just waiting for a word from the emperor, and are ready to defeat the opponent with reason and emotion at any time to obtain the emperor's approval.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Sima Rong said slowly: "The prime minister is right. The matter of becoming a queen is not a child's play. I am still young, so this matter should not be rushed. The top priority is to rectify military affairs and enrich the national treasury. In the future, drive the Hu thieves out of the Central Plains and regain our great rivers and mountains."

All the ministers: "...Aren't we discussing marriage, why are you talking about war all of a sudden?"

"Your Majesty, there is no conflict between expelling the Hu thieves and establishing the empress!" After a short period of silence, someone finally came out, and soon attracted the support of others, and the court hall became lively again.

Sima Rong said calmly: "I will not be a successor."

Everyone was shocked, but Wang Shuzhi lowered his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The ministers didn't expect that their mouths were dry, but the emperor was a reticent person. They turned their eyes around, and suddenly found that Xie Zhuo, the ruler of the Xie family, hadn't spoken yet, so they couldn't help but shoot him in unison. .

Sima Rong also looked at Xie Zhuo: "I don't know what opinion Mr. Xie has on the matter of becoming a queen?"

Xie Zhuo always seemed to stay out of the matter, and now that he was nominated, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and quickly recovered his calm expression: "If the emperor doesn't want to be a queen, then just don't make a queen."

There was an uproar!

Thank you, sir, for speaking so lightly!Thank you, sir, you have been dozing off just now!Mr. Xie, this is related to your Xie family's blood inheritance, so take it easy!

Wang Shuzhi didn't expect Xie Zhuo to reply like this. It seemed that what he was discussing was not the important matter of the current emperor's succession, but the marriage of his ordinary nephew from afar. This dispensable and conniving attitude shocked everyone's eyes.

Xie Zhuo's face was calm, but he couldn't stop smiling wryly in his heart: I was also forced to do nothing!The emperor has already said that if I don't listen to him on this matter, he can throw off his dragon robe and travel around the world at any time. This emperor will do whoever he likes.

Although he doubted that Sima Rong had planned for so long to finally get the throne, how could he give up easily, but he really didn't dare to take the risk.Besides, Xie's family can count on him now. Even though Wang An is bleeding the same blood, he can't hold on to the overall situation at all!And the most important point is that the emperor has already promised that he will adopt King Jijing's son as the heir apparent, so it is still the blood of the Xie family!If you teach them well from an early age, you will surely become a wise king in the future!The revival of the Xie family is hopeful!

That night, Sima Rong left the palace and stayed in the prime minister's mansion. Before going to bed, he suddenly wondered, "Why do I look at Wang Ting and look at me with something wrong?"

Wang Shuzhi pretended to be stupid: "Really? Why didn't I see it?"

Sima Rong glanced at him suspiciously, thinking about what happened in the courtroom today, he couldn't help but said: "I said today that I won't make a queen, it's just a stopgap measure."

Wang Shuzhi immediately put on a resentful look: "Really? My heart almost broke."

Sima Rong: "..."

Wang Shuzhi hugged him tightly with both arms, wrapped his legs around his legs, making him unable to move, and looked at him sadly.

"..." Sima Rong regained his composure, turned his gaze away and continued, "The courtiers have just been tempted. If I push you out directly, once they are greatly stimulated, they will definitely not let it go. It is better to grind them first."

Wang Shuzhi put on a skeptical look: "You didn't lie to me? You promised to make me queen, if you go back on your word..."

Sima Rong suddenly realized that he didn't seem to need to explain. With the tacit understanding between the two, he should have understood it long ago. Now that he looked at his rascal appearance, he felt even more certain in his heart, and couldn't help but look at him with a smile: "I If you repent, what will happen to you?"

Wang Shuzhi blinked: "I don't want to obey you!"

Sima Rong: "..."

Wang Shuzhi touched the tip of his nose, and said softly: "Master Xie and you are singing together today! You have confessed to him a long time ago?"

Sima Rong responded with a smile: "Yeah."

"Yan Qing..." Wang Shuzhi paused, tilted his head and kissed him suddenly, hugged him even tighter after a lingering kiss, and said in a low voice, "I'm so blessed, I must have cultivated it in my previous life."
