"Your Majesty, this servant has made this matter clear. Only by reading their memorials and sorting out the relationship between the officials and the three cabinet ministers will the matter become clear!"
Chen Changhe really had no way of guessing this kind of thing, so he came up with his own method, which coincided with Zhao Yongcheng's.
"Then why don't you hurry up and urge them!"
"Yes...slave, go right now!"
As a result, Chen Changhe ran out in a flash.
Among the twelve imperial eunuchs, the chief seal eunuch and the editing eunuch are ranked highest because they have the greatest power.
In particular, the Chief Seal Supervisor has the power to criticize red officials, and his status is almost as important as that of the cabinet.
At this moment, in the Palm Print Prison, more than a dozen young eunuchs were looking through the memorials and associating the names of all the petitioners with the recommenders.
The written list was immediately handed over to the person who compiled the supervisors, who then checked the resumes of the officials based on the list and figured out their interpersonal relationships.
Just as Chen Changhe walked into the check-in room, the work inside had been completed.
"I've met my ancestors!"
All the young eunuchs inside saluted the old eunuch Chen Changhe.
That's right, neither the chief eunuch nor the eunuch in charge had a status comparable to that of Chen Changhe, the general manager of Qian'an Palace.
"Is everything done? The Emperor is still waiting to see!"
Wang An, the eunuch and editor-in-chief, immediately replied: "Ancestor, you came at the right time. We are about to report to the emperor!"
Glancing at Liu Zheng, the director of the Palm Print Supervision, Chen Changhe continued to ask: "Tell me roughly..."
"After summarizing, among Mr. Wangge's disciples, 47 people recommended the emperor's second grandson, and 29 people recommended the emperor's eldest grandson..."
"As for Mr. Xie Ge's disciples, most of them recommend the emperor's grandson, and only thirteen of them choose His Royal Highness!"
"Lao Lu Ge's disciples, princes, and grandsons have all been recommended, so I don't see any bias!"
Knowing this, Chen Changhe had a rough idea. If the emperor asked him about it later, he would also know how to answer.
Immediately, Chen Changhe conveyed the order and asked Wang An and Liu Zheng to follow him and go to Qian'an to report the situation.
Time gradually passed, and another day passed in the blink of an eye.
Information about the selection of the crown prince slowly spread to the outside world.
In the harem, Concubine Jing was so angry that she overturned the table.
She obviously thought she was in control, but she never expected that her level of promotion would be so low.
Only about forty people recommended Lao Shi, less than half of Zhao Weiheng. This was a slap in the face to her.
Three days have passed and the recommendation situation has ended. Now it only depends on the emperor's choice.
If nothing else happens, the position of crown prince will fall into the hands of Zhao Weiheng.
It can be said that Concubine Jing's heart was completely shattered after she and her family tried their best and finally came to such a result.
At this moment, she has no intention of fighting anymore, because she also understands what the general trend is.
Unlike Concubine Jing's decadence, although the Eleventh Prince was not highly recommended, the king still had no intention of giving up.
At this moment, she brought the two of them outside Xianfu Palace again.
After passing all the way into the main hall, the noble king did not see Concubine Duan.
"Your Majesty is worshiping the Buddha. If you don't mind, please wait a moment!"
Concubine Duan doesn't want to see her? This was Wang Guiren's first thought.
But she did not give up. Instead, she sat on a chair nearby and ordered Zhao Yansong to sit down and wait together.
Seeing that Wang Guiren, mother and son were so stubborn, Lingsu himself had no choice but to leave the palace voluntarily.
Why doesn't Wang Guiren give up? It's because she already understands clearly that Tao Yang's residence has not yet submitted a memorial.
This means that Concubine Duan herself has not taken action yet, so Wang Guiren will not give up.
As long as Concubine Duan helps and twenty or thirty officials are present to present the memorial, it can be said that there will be no problem.
At this moment, in the Buddhist hall, Concubine Duan was knocking on the wooden fish, but her mind was on the matter of establishing a prince.
Although she knew that the prince's side was powerful, what she never expected was that there would be so many people petitioning to establish a grandson.
"It seems that after Xun'er left, many of those who were sitting on the fence in the court turned to the prince!" Concubine Duan muttered in a low voice.
This is the naked reality, and it is also the reality that Concubine Duan still needs to see clearly.
Now, it was time for her to consider how to take action.
At this time, Lingsu reported outside: "Empress, Wang Guiren and the others are still here, saying they are waiting for you to go out!"
"Then let them wait!" Concubine Duan said coldly.
Helping the noble king seems to be very labor-intensive at the moment, but it is also very likely to fail. This is difficult for Concubine Duan to accept.
His purpose was to make the queen feel uncomfortable, not to fulfill the noble prince's wish.
Nowadays, Zhao Weiheng has the most support, and the Queen must have done her best, so naturally some of them are happy at this moment.
If you want to make the Queen unhappy, you have to bring Zhao Weiheng down. This has become Concubine Duan's new goal.
Pulling Zhao Weilong down means that one has to be pushed up, otherwise it won't be done.
So who should we recommend?
I must recommend someone who is more confident. It is basically impossible for Lao Shiyi. Lao Shi’s biological mother is Concubine Jing, and she didn’t ask for her at all.
Zhao Weilong...the emperor's eldest grandson is someone who can be recommended.
First of all, Zhao Weilong's biological mother died, and she died in a mysterious way, so she naturally had no dealings with the queen.
Secondly, Zhao Weilong was the eldest grandson of the emperor, so he was naturally able to unite a group of ministers. Although he was not as powerful as Zhao Weiheng, it was not much different.
Taken together, recommending Zhao Weilong can make the queen uncomfortable and has the greatest chance of success, so why not do it.
Of course, while cooperating, Concubine Duan will also get enough benefits.
But the question now is how to contact Zhao Weilong.
Concubine Duan will never take the initiative to contact her. Firstly, she will not be able to live with this because of her face, and secondly, she will lose the initiative.
So the next thing is still extremely troublesome, but he can't delay it too long, the emperor may issue an edict at any time.
Also distressed as Concubine Duan is Zhao Weilong, who is currently keeping vigil in the East Palace.
Although he was suppressed by Li Suxin, he always had his own people in the East Palace, so at this moment he was aware of the external situation.
As a result of the election of the crown prince, he ranked only behind Zhao Weiheng, and the difference was not too far, which meant that it was not impossible for him.
But the problem is that he does not have the support of the queen. Although the difference is not much, it is difficult to make a comeback.
Originally, he was supposed to be running around, but now he could only stay in front of the soul, unable to do anything.
"Your Highness..."
Hearing the voice behind him, Zhao Weilong saw that it was Prince Zhan Shi Huang Zhicheng.
This man is the head of the East Palace officials and the teacher of Zhao Weilong and Zhao Weiheng.
"Master Huang, why are you here!" Zhao Weilong looked dejected.
Walking to Zhao Weilong and looking at the kneeling prince's family members, Huang Zhicheng pulled Zhao Weilong to the corner.
"Has Your Highness given up?"
This question was so abrupt that Zhao Weilong didn't understand Huang Zhicheng's intention.
"Master Huang, you all know that if a student is powerless, what can you do?" Zhao Weilong said very cryptically.
Huang Zhicheng nodded, and then said: "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures... I do have a way to help His Highness turn the tables!"
