In the morning session today, although the ministers did not quarrel like yesterday, they were still arguing about whether to add beads to the king. However, there are some differences between today and yesterday.

Yesterday, in the morning meeting, the only ministers who supported Dai Wang Jiazhu were those from Dai Wang’s party. However, today there were many more ministers who supported Dai Wang Jiazhu. To be precise, except for the people from the Prince’s party who opposed Dai Wang Jiazhu, everyone else was in favor of Dai Wang Jiazhu. Add beads to the king.

Adding beads to the prince is not a good thing for the prince, but it is a good thing for other princes. As the prince adds beads, not only will his status become more noble, but the standards around him will also be improved a lot, for example, the fiefdom and guards will be increased. .

Today, almost everyone in the court was in favor of adding beads to the king. Emperor Wu of Zhou was not surprised at all by this development.

Emperor Wu of Zhou allowed his ministers to argue, but still did not agree to add Zhu as the king.

Today, the ministers did not quarrel like yesterday. Emperor Wu of Zhou felt that it was very boring and left. When Sun Kui saw this, he quickly shouted "Retreat from the court".

After the ministers respectfully sent Emperor Wu of Zhou away, they "surrounded" He Xiang.

"He Xiang, what do you mean by the emperor?"

"Xiang He, please express your opinion regarding the issue of Jiazhu on behalf of the king."

"Xiang He, do you support Jiazhu, the acting king, or do you not?"

"Xiang He, now all the ministers in the court support Jiazhu, the acting king. What do you think?"

"What phase..."

He Xiang, who was surrounded and unable to leave, could only say helplessly: "Everyone, whether or not to add beads to the king's behalf is not something that anyone can control."

"Xiang He, as the Prime Minister, your opinion is very important."

"The emperor always values ​​you and listens to your suggestions. If you support Dai Wang Jiazhu, the emperor will definitely agree."

He Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "The emperor knows whether to add beads on behalf of the king."

"In your opinion, does the Emperor agree or does he not agree?"

Old God He Xiang smiled and said: "I don't dare to guess the holy will." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

"What phase..."

Even though He was in his fifties or sixties, he was in good health and walked with a brisk pace. He was no longer visible after a while.

He Xiang hurriedly got into the carriage parked at the gate of the palace and urged the groom to leave quickly. When he got home, he had the door tightly closed and repeatedly told no one to see him.

In the past two days, because of the issue of adding beads to the king, many people came to visit him, which annoyed him a lot.

Seeing that they were speechless with Prime Minister He, the ministers turned their thoughts to another person - Taishi Liu.

Facing the inquiries from the ministers, Taishi Liu had a cold face and said impatiently that he didn't know, so don't ask him.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu were too strict and couldn't get any information out of them, so the ministers turned their attention to Emperor Wu of Zhou's cronies.

The confidants were not the eunuchs around Emperor Wu of Zhou, but the generals who followed Emperor Wu of Zhou in battles - Song Dekang and Shen Hu.

Song Dekang and Shen Hu were not only the favorite generals of Emperor Wu of Zhou, but also related to Emperor Wu of Zhou. However, these two men were only loyal to Emperor Wu of Zhou and did not support any prince. The ministers asked them whether the king should add beads. It was a wrong idea.

Although they knew that they could not get any useful information from Song Dekang and Shen Hu, many ministers still wanted to try. The two of them were also very annoyed and asked their families to close the door tightly and no one could see them.

In the Xuanping Hou Mansion, some important ministers who supported Dai Wang gathered together and continued to discuss how to get Emperor Zhou Wu to agree to add beads to Dai Wang.

"Master Marquis, today in the morning meeting, except for the prince's group who opposed Jiazhu on behalf of the king, everyone else supported Jiazhu on behalf of the king, but the emperor has not expressed his position. This...does the emperor agree or disagree?"

"The emperor has always loved and valued His Highness Dai Wang. This time, Dai Wang has made great achievements in pacifying Liangzhou. It stands to reason that the emperor should reward His Highness Dai Wang. Our proposal to add pearls to Dai Wang should not be in line with the emperor's wishes. Why is the emperor so late?

disagree?"

"I think the emperor wanted to agree to add beads to the king, but he did not agree immediately because of the prince."

"I also think that the emperor is just showing off. In a few days, the emperor will definitely agree to add beads to the acting king."

"Perhaps when His Highness Dai Wang returns to the capital in triumph, the Emperor will add beads to His Highness."

"Master Marquis, the Duke of Zhen has to be on guard."

Marquis Xuanping frowned slightly and said: "The matter of adding beads to the king cannot be postponed until the day when the king returns to the capital in triumph. It must be finalized before the king returns to the capital."

"Master Hou, what do you mean..."

At this moment, at the Zhenguo Palace, a group of important ministers who supported the prince also gathered together to discuss the matter of opposing the acting king Jiazhu.

"My lord, now all the ministers in the court support the acting king Jiazhu, what should we do?"

"Once the emperor agrees to add beads to the king on behalf of the king, the king on behalf of the king will definitely climb on the head of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"The King of Dai already has great achievements in battle. If he adds more beads, his arrogance will become even more arrogant, and he will no longer take His Highness into consideration."

"My lord, this matter must be resolved before the king returns to the capital. Otherwise, there will be no room for change when the king returns to the capital."

"The emperor's attitude is unclear, which is not a good thing for us."

"The emperor is usually a decisive person, but this time he has been slow to express his position on the matter of adding pearls to the king. I think the emperor also wants to add pearls to the king."

"Don't you think that the emperor wants to wait for the day when the king returns to the capital to add pearls to the king?"

"It's not impossible."

"My lord, we must make the emperor completely stop thinking about adding pearls to the king before he returns to the capital."

Compared with the anxious and worried ministers, Duke Zhenguo seemed very calm and calm: "I will never let the acting king add beads."

"My lord, is there anything you can do?"

In the East Palace, the tutor was giving a lecture to the prince, but the prince was obviously a little uneasy.

The Grand Tutor heard about what happened in the morning and knew why the Prince was distracted, "Your Highness the Prince..."

The prince did not hear the tutor calling him.

The Taifu called out several times before the Prince came back to his senses.

The prince looked apologetic and hurriedly stood up and apologized to the prince: "Sir, I'm sorry, I was distracted."

The Taifu raised his hand to signal the Prince to sit down, and said to the Prince with a loving expression: "Your Highness, at this time, you must not be messy."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Your Highness, you must always remember your identity." The Tutor said to the Prince with a profound look, "You are the Crown Prince of Zhou Dynasty. No matter what happens, your identity will not change!"

The prince didn't quite understand the meaning of the tutor's words, and said with a confused expression: "Sir, of course I remember my identity."

"In that case, Your Highness, there is no need to worry." Taifu emphasized again, "Your Highness, at this time, you must be more stable!"

The prince nodded as if he understood: "I listen to you, sir."

The Taifu smiled kindly: "Then let's continue."

"Yes, sir." The prince did not dare to be distracted anymore and listened to the tutor's explanation attentively.

In the imperial study room of Chengguang Hall, Emperor Wu of Zhou threw down the memorial in his hand. There was a snap, which made Sun Kui who was waiting aside tremble in fright.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Sun Kui hurriedly picked up the memorial that was thrown to the ground by Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Emperor Wu of Zhou scolded with a cold face: "A bunch of trash."

When Sun Kui picked up the memorial, he accidentally saw the content inside, which was about the Yangzhou rebellion.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not worth the anger to damage the dragon's body." He quickly winked at the little eunuch standing aside. The little eunuch understood and quickly brought a cup of hot tea.

Sun Kui took the tea cup from the young eunuch and handed it to Emperor Wu of Zhou respectfully, "Your Majesty, please take a sip of tea to relieve your anger."

Emperor Wu of Zhou took the tea cup and drank it in a big gulp without any image. After drinking, the anger in his heart suddenly decreased a bit, but his face was still ugly.

"Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied with the matter in Yangzhou, just send someone else to deal with it. Why bother yourself?"
