Chapter 705 Upward Strange Things
If the emperor announced that Han Shufei was appointed as the queen, the ministers in the court were shocked and Han Xuanchang was the first to object, it would shock everyone even more. No one would have thought that Han Xuanchang was the first to object to Han Shufei, and even Han Xuandao frowned.
The emperor was obviously very surprised and frowned and said, "Han Aiqing, I... I just said that I have decided, and I am not discussing it with you!"
Han Xuanchang went forward, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Master, although I know I am guilty, I still have to advise the Master. The establishment of the Master is a major event for the country, but... Concubine Shu is really not suitable to be the queen."
The emperor said coldly: "I want to listen, why is Shufei not suitable?"
Han Xuanchang knelt straight in the court and said loudly: "Concubine Shu is virtuous, but she has no ability to rule the harem. Moreover, Concubine Shu enters the palace very late, has too little experience, has no talent or qualifications, so she is not the best candidate for the queen!"
The court officials were upset.
No one expected that Han Xuanchang would actually be responsible for his niece in the dynasty. He whispered for a moment, and almost everyone thought that something was wrong with Han Xuanchang's mind.
There are many people in the court who oppose the concubine Shu as the queen. No matter how hard it is, Han Xuanchang will come out to oppose it. If Han Shu as the queen, the Han family should be very happy.
Han Xuanchang's actions not only made many hostile ministers of the Han Sect stunned, but even the Han Sect's own people were also confused.
Fan Yunao and Hu Xuexin both looked at Han Xuanchang, their eyes full of confusion.
Han Mo was among the court. He was surprised to see Han Xuanchang coming out like everyone else. However, he knew his father very well and always was extremely cautious in his work. Today, he would definitely have a deep meaning when he came out to oppose Han Shu as queen, but for a moment he couldn't figure out how his father thought.
"Good but not talent?" The emperor smiled coldly and leaned forward slightly. "Han Xuanchang, don't forget that Concubine Shu is your niece... You uncle, just evaluate your niece like this? And... Concubine Shu is my beloved concubine. If you evaluate this way, you will be a crime of disrespect!"
Han Xuanchang said seriously: "I dare not blaspheme the concubine. It is just that the emperor's appointment as a queen is a major event in the country and is related to the fate of our great Yan. As a saint, I have received the kindness of the emperor. Even though I know it is disrespectful, I still have to speak out for the courage to speak out!"
At this moment, a censor had already stepped forward and knelt down and shouted: "Master, I, the Censor of the Censorate, Zhang Shen, agreed to what Lord Han said. Establishing the Empress is a major event for the country, and you should not be careless!"
"Zhang Shen, you are bold!" the emperor said angrily: "Is it a rash move for me to establish the queen?"
Zhang Shen is a member of the Xiao Party. Han Mo still has a lot of impression of this person. When he first went to court, the first person to report was this guy.
Since he was the spokesperson of the Xiao Sect in the court, he had confidence and even more verbal words. When the emperor asked, Zhang Shen looked righteous and righteous: "Master, I dare not. But from ancient times to the present, the establishment of the harem queen has been an extremely important national event. The choice of the queen is to be virtuous and kind, and have the talent to rule the harem. Only in this way can the harem be stabilized, the mother is in the world, and the country is peaceful and peaceful. As Lord Han said, Shufei is outstanding and virtuous, and has a humble temperament, but she does not have the talent to rule the harem, and is not the best candidate for the queen!"
The emperor showed anger in his eyes, glanced at Master Xiao, and then sneered at Zhang Shen: "Zhang Shen, do you think I can't kill anyone?"
Zhang Shen raised his neck and said, "I am dedicated to the country, and I will directly advise my superiors, and I will not be afraid of life and death. Even if the emperor cut off the head of the minister, I will also speak out directly about the superiors. I am not afraid of life and death, but just give my advice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten people came out of the two rows, knelt down on the court, and said one after another: "I wish to die and advise the emperor."
One person even said: "Concubine Xiao has been in charge of the harem for many years and has entered the palace very early to serve the emperor. Now that the harem is peaceful, Concubine Xiao has made great contributions. Regardless of his qualifications, Concubine Xiao is far superior to Concubine Han Shu!"
The emperor held the golden handle of the dragon throne, and his blue veins swelled up, as if he was about to crush the golden handle, and said sternly: "If I had to make Concubine Shu the Queen, then what if I?"
Zhang Shen was really worthy of being the censor. He said enthusiastically: "I am the Great Yan Kingdom, I am willing to give my advice!" He kowtowed repeatedly in the Golden Palace. There was silence around him. The sound of the scalp directly colliding with the marble slab was extremely loud. In just a moment, the guy's forehead was bleeding. It seemed that if the emperor really wanted to make Concubine Han Shu the queen, he would be killed in the Golden Palace.
Zhang Shen put in a lot of money and knew in his heart that the more hard he worked, the more blood he would produce, the greater the value of the Grand Master, and gold, silver and wealth, which would be rolling in.
So his acting is realistic, and he endured the pain and had to get more blood.
Zhang Shenyi moved, and some officials behind looked at each other and began to kowtow upwards. For a moment, the sound of "bang bang bang" colliding with the marble slabs sounded in the court.
The emperor was extremely annoyed.
Of course, it was not his impulse to make Han Shu the queen. An emperor with great tolerance would never make decisions that would damage the overall situation because of his impulse.
He has his own considerations.
Today, the dynasty announced that Han Shu would be the concubine, and he would clearly state that there was no need to discuss it. That was also a test that he wanted to see if his emperor could decide on certain major events.
But the result disappointed him.
Over the past year, the imperial power has been increasing, and many forces loyal to the royal family have been developed inside and outside the court, and the aristocratic families have consumed a lot in the struggle.
But the emperor finally understood that the aristocratic family was still strong and the imperial power was still not strong enough to control the court. The "bang bang" sound of kowtow in the court was like a hammer hammering the imperial power, beating the imperial power that was still not stable and powerful.
Except for Han Xuanchang, the ministers kneeling in the court, were all righteous and seemed to be trying to stop the emperor from becoming the queen with death.
Just when the dozen ministers were bleeding from their heads and blood stained with blood and could hardly hold on, Grandma Xiao finally stood up tremblingly and bowed and said, "Speak to the emperor, the old minister has something to report!"
Everyone knew in their hearts that the officials of the Xiao Sect had done enough to make a conclusion.
"What do you want to say to the Grand Master?" The emperor tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but his expression was very bad, and even his voice seemed very cold.
Tai Shi Xiao did not speak immediately, but just looked at the ministers who kowtowed like garlic intentionally or unintentionally.
The emperor snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "If you want to give me a warning, I will kneel down to the palace of my capital. Don't die in this palace, so that I can take the blame for forcing my ministers to death!"
These ministers were waiting for the emperor to go down the stairs. After hearing what the emperor said, they all stopped in a hurry and said in unison: "I dare not!" But blood was emitting from their foreheads, which was really ugly.
Only then did Master Xiao slowly say: "Master, the old minister thinks that what Lord Han and you all say is quite inappropriate!"
"What does the Taishi mean?"
"The old minister thinks that this concubine Shu is virtuous and virtuous, not only in the harem, but also in the Great Yan, which is well known to everyone." Taishi Xiao said calmly and slowly: "The lord of the harem is in the world, and he is the first to be virtuous. The so-called virtue is established by faith, and Shu is outstanding in virtue. This prestige is naturally enough to stand in the harem. If Shu is not in charge of the harem, the old minister really dares not agree. Shu has never been in charge of the harem, so who can determine that she has no talent for commanding? What's more, she can do some things. If Shu is virtuous, she will only do it. However, Shu is virtuous and many things will go very smoothly. The old minister believes that if Shu is able to be the lord of the harem, it is a blessing for my great Yan... If the imperial concubine, forgives the old minister, is impulsive and willful, but is not the talent of the queen...!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Master Xiao again.
There are strange things every year, and there are a lot this year.
The one who made Concubine Shu the queen came out to oppose the people of Shu the clan, and the one who came out to support the concubine Xiao was the hostile Tai Shi.
Han Xuanchang claimed that Concubine Shu was virtuous but not talented and could not be made a queen.
However, Grand Master Xiao said that Concubine Xiao was willful and impulsive, and supported Concubine Shu as her queen.
This made many officials in the court unable to touch their heads. They really didn't know what the two heavyweight figures of the aristocratic families were doing.
Han Xuandao and other important officials of the aristocratic families had their own thoughts.
When the emperor heard Master Xiao say this, he looked surprised and asked after a while: "Does Master Tai praise the establishment of Concubine Shu as the Empress?"
Master Xiao bowed and said, "The emperor chose Concubine Shu, and the wise and wise are extremely wise. The old minister thinks that the queen's choice is worthy of the Concubine Shu!"
"The Grand Master is indeed very wise!" The emperor sighed, "Since that's the case, this matter will be decided." Looking at Han Xuanchang, he said in a deep voice: "Han Aiqing, you are the Minister of Rites. I ordered you to choose an auspicious day to hold a grand ceremony of canonization!"
Han Xuanchang looked solemn and bowed: "Master, Concubine Shu..."
"Don't say it again!" the emperor said sternly: "I have decided to make Concubine Shu the queen. If there are any more irresponsible people...behead!"
Han Xuanchang looked helpless and looked at Han Xuandao, but saw Han Xuandao half-closing his eyes and no movement. He could only sigh and said respectfully: "I will receive the order!"
...
After retiring from the court, Han Mo had just left the hall, and a eunuch had already come over to speak a few words. Han Mo nodded slightly and looked back at Han Xuanchang, who was quite lonely and helpless. He still didn't understand his deep meaning for a while, but the eunuch had already said, "General Han, Concubine Shu is still waiting, let's go here!"
Seeing that his father was in a bad mood, Han Mo felt depressed, and nodded and followed the eunuch to Changchun Palace.
