Riding the Pheonix Chapter 772: Potentially successful

? After a long silence, Wan Dabao finally asked: "What will you do if I don't obey?"

Concubine Pei smiled faintly, and glanced at the door with slightly raised phoenix eyes.

The person standing there was Eunuch Liu, with his head lowered and his hands folded, standing very respectfully. Only the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a hint of sinisterness.

Wan Dabao has never been very fond of Liu Xiaoxi. If this boy can win the emperor's favor, doesn't he know how to speculate? So what if he is in charge of the Imperial City Division? The person the emperor trusts the most is himself, and he can't fight no matter how hard he fights.

But he never expected that Liu Xiaoxi had no intention of competing with him for the position of confidant, but had already chosen his next master.

"My Lady, I have never treated you lightly in these years. Do you really want to..."

Before he finished his plea, Wan Dabao himself became frustrated. Why is he so naive? This kind of thing always flows like a river of blood. What does the life of a slave mean? No matter how much he begged, the imperial concubine would not let him go. Because his existence is an obstacle.

Either vote like Liu Xiaoxi, or...

Concubine Pei didn't say a word, she just stood there, as cold as a mountain.

This is something Wan Dabao has never experienced before.

The first time he met Concubine Pei, she was still a young girl, bright and proud, like a blooming spring flower. Later, she was widowed and reunited with the emperor who had just ascended the throne, with the fragility that had just been ravaged by wind and rain. Then she entered the palace and became a concubine. In the past twenty years, I have seen her nobility, demureness, sternness, and kindness... but I have never seen this overwhelming silence.

Wan Dabao even had a feeling that such a concubine frightened him more than the emperor himself.

He wanted to be like the loyal servant in the opera, angrily scolding the imperial concubine for her ulterior motives and daring actions, but...

Under the gaze of the imperial concubine, Wan Dabao's waist bowed down little by little.

"Slave..." he said with tears, "I want to accompany His Majesty on the last journey."

Concubine Pei finally spoke, with a soft and soft voice: "Everyone in the palace knows about Eunuch Wan's loyalty. Go back. There will be people who can read these medicines. Just stay with His Majesty."

"Thank you, empress."

Wan Dabao wiped the tears from his face, straightened his clothes and stepped out of the tea room.

……

No one expected that Guo Xu would say such righteous words that the entire court was shaken.

This is Guo Xu. Guo Xu, who has no principles and only knows how to work hard, actually talks about great achievements for a long time?

Look at his upright look, why is he so strange?

However, what he said makes perfect sense.

Isn't the reason why we can't decide who should be the reserve leader just because both candidates have obvious flaws?

Prince An has a good temper, but he has no talent in government affairs and is easily confused. Now he has a leg injury. The fourth prince is too young and cannot be said to be smart. Once the imperial power falls away, it is questionable whether he can take it back.

No matter who is established, there is always something difficult to overcome.

The great victory in the Northwest a few years ago gradually revived many people's desire for unification.

The death of Tang Jing, the Duke of Southern Chu Dynasty last year, further fueled their ambitions.

Perhaps the time has really come to dominate the world?

At this time, whether it is Prince An or the Fourth Prince, they always find it difficult to take on such a big responsibility...

"The lower official seconded the proposal." The first person to respond came out, "Guo Xiang's words are really like enlightenment. I believe that Emperor Taizu has a spirit and will definitely support it. Whether it is King An, the fourth prince, or King Yue , they are all of the Jiang family, descendants of Taizu, no matter who succeeds to the throne. If Daqi can really unify the world, this will be the foundation of the world!"

"Not bad! I agree!"

With the first, there is the second.

I don’t know how Fu Jin manages his business. He has already attracted a group of courtiers, and these people will naturally speak for Yang Shu.

And among those who were neutral, many were moved.

If we can really unify the world and achieve great things...

"Huh!" A cold snort sounded, and Zhang Tan finally spoke, "This is the first time I know the truth. Prime Minister Guo is so eloquent. He makes it sound as if the king of Yue will be able to dominate the world as soon as he succeeds to the throne. Buddha People say it's all over the place, but it's nothing like this."

Guo Xu, who was always respectful in front of him, did not give in at all at this time. He said proudly: "How can we control the giant ship of the country if we don't even dare to look forward to the future? Ordinary people have to take one step further to see the future. Step by step, we will assist the king in governing the country, and we will naturally have to plan for ten or twenty years."

Zhang Tan said calmly: "Since Guo Xiang said ten or twenty years, there is also a doubt about the truth. The Holy Emperor established a grand-nephew and abandoned his own son. This gap has been opened. What will be done in the future? Is it necessary for the direct eldest son to inherit? Have you changed it?"

Inheritance by direct eldest son is the foundation of etiquette and cannot be changed. If this were changed, the current set of rules would be shattered and the world would be in chaos.

Guo Xu said with a smile: "Look at what Zhang Xiang said, how does this matter have anything to do with the succession of the eldest son? Previously, the eldest prince and the second prince were convicted, and the Holy Emperor ordered King An to manage the government. Who has any objection? The elders and younger ones are in order. Of course! Something has happened to King An now, and it’s hard for him to succeed to the throne? He does extraordinary things from time to time, how can he stick to the rules and not know how to adapt?"

Zhang Tan knew in his heart that Guo Xu had come prepared. I don't know how long he has been pondering these truths in his mind, just to overwhelm himself today.

Zhang Tan is not a person who is good at talking. White Tiger Star Officer has always been a military general, which is also his origin. Arguing with Guo Xu, who is a good reader, is simply using his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.

He looked over one by one.

Those who clearly sided with the King of Yue, plus those who were persuaded by Guo Xu, were almost half of the group.

When did it become so deep-rooted and luxuriant? The momentum has actually been achieved.

"If Mr. Zhang has no objections, why not just let it be decided?" Guo Xu said aggressively.

Zhang Tan said: "Isn't Prime Minister Guo too impatient? Just say a few words and it will be settled?"

"Hasn't a consensus been reached?" Guo Xu smiled, "I see that no one objects to it!"

Who said no objection? It’s just that no one came out to argue for a while~IndoMTL.com~Why is he talking to himself like this!

Officials under Zhang Tan’s family shouted: "I don’t agree! The emperor has his own children, so he shouldn’t establish another one. The rules cannot be broken, so we still have to establish a fourth prince!"

"That's right! Even if King An is not successful, there are still four princes and five princes. There is no reason to establish a grand nephew while the parent and son are still alive. You may sound grand, but you have broken the etiquette!"

Guo Xu said without changing his expression: "You two are the only ones who object, and most people agree with the truth!"

"Who said that? Has Prime Minister Guo counted him? There are obviously many people who oppose it."

"That's right! Mr. Guo, don't open your eyes and tell lies. In the worst case, we will count now!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Tan still had doubts in his heart.

Roughly estimated, one's own side still has a slight numerical advantage, but Guo Xu's words were obviously provocative. Could it be that this is already planned?

If this is the case, he can only draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron.
