Chapter 755 Ancient Robbery 38
Emperor Ming was not a docile person. Although he was an emperor, he was not as sensitive and suspicious as other emperors. On the contrary, perhaps because he had fought his way up from the northwest, he was very conceited.
This also means that he is an emperor who will not easily let others change his decision once he makes it.
If it were any other matter, it would be easy to deal with, but the matter of the Crown Princess is not a big deal.
As soon as the news came out yesterday, they found out everything about the relationship between Meng Liu and the prince. Meng Liu had been plotting against the prince since he was eight years old, and the prince had been thinking about it for so many years. How could they just give up the idea with just a few words?
Lord Li was deflated, but he proposed a solution from another angle: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has reached adulthood, and Meng Liu has been married to the Crown Prince for seven years without giving birth to any children. I am truly terrified that the Crown Prince's heir will die!"
These words touched the heart of Emperor Ming. Wasn't the reason why he wanted Fu Wenting to get married quickly because he wanted to see him have children?
Members of the royal family have imperial physicians to take care of their health every month since they are born, so there must be nothing wrong with Gu Jiazi's health, so the only one with the problem is Meng Liu.
Emperor Ming glanced at his son and saw that he was too eager to do the job, so he didn't know how to express his opinion.
Fu Wenting obviously also thought of this. Regardless of whether Meng Liu had any problems or not, he only wanted her. Even if they had no offspring, so what? Having a child might not be useful. He would have to take care of the child and raise him. The child might even grow up to be a bad person. He was a son himself. How could he not know whether the child was useful or not?
But the difficult thing is that his father is indeed the heir to the throne, and he will have no explanation if he doesn't lay an egg.
If it really doesn't work, then bring Meng Dingfeng's son over. Meng Liu will like him too.
In a short period of time, Fu Wenting has thought of many solutions.
"Recruiting many concubines will ensure the expansion of the royal bloodline. It can also strengthen the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and us through marriage. Isn't it wonderful to have harmony between the monarch and his subjects?" Lord Li noticed that Emperor Ming's attitude had softened, and said happily, stroking his beard.
Fu Wenting glanced at him and said, "The Censorate is the court's supervisory agency, and its responsibilities are heavy. However, Lord Li's supervision of the court is perfunctory, he turns a blind eye to corruption, and is indifferent to the suffering of the people. Instead, he cares about the affairs of the harem every day. Even the most talkative women in the folk know that they can't reach into other people's yards!"
Lord Li knelt down quickly, sweat breaking out on his head out of fear.
Prime Minister Zhang looked at him and defended him: "The prince's family affairs are also state affairs. Lord Li risked his life to give advice because he cares about the country."
"Prime Minister Zhang is right. The Censorate is the eyes and ears of the court, monitoring all officials and maintaining the government. During his tenure, Lord Li has done anything other than forming a clique and plotting against my concubines. If you really risked your life to give me advice, then go ahead and die. I will consider your proposal later."
Fu Wenting didn't give any face at all, and everyone in the court suddenly looked unhappy.
Emperor Ming could only come out to smooth things over: "Alright, Lord Li has made no contributions, but he has worked hard. I will strengthen the supervision of the Censorate to ensure that they perform their duties conscientiously in the future. If there is nothing else, then we can leave the court."
Prime Minister Zhang sighed as he watched Fu Wenting leave.
He had instructed Lord Li to do what happened today in order to play a game of chess with the Crown Prince.
There has always been a delicate balance maintained between the monarch and his courtiers, but after Emperor Ming ascended the throne, he held great power in his hands, and the weight of these old ministers became less and less. If there is no breakthrough, they will really have to keep a low profile in the future.
If it wasn't for the last resort, who would be willing to send their daughter into the palace, especially when they knew that the prince already had someone in his heart.
Fu Wenting has the style of his father. He does what he wants and keeps his word. He has made it clear that he doesn't want any other woman except Meng Liu. If he continues to insist, his relationship with the prince will only continue to deteriorate.
If there was another crown prince, it would be easy to say, but the key is that this is the next emperor, and both father and son have sufficient military power and manpower, and they do not need to rely on court officials, so they can be so powerful.
The game was still lost.
In the imperial study, one was standing and the other was sitting.
"You offended many people with your speech in the court today!" Emperor Ming said, shaking his head.
Fu Wenting curled his lips and said, "I've offended you, so what? It just so happens that several of my subordinates don't have suitable positions yet. It's time to deal with a group of court officials and make room for my people."
"Nonsense!" Emperor Ming pretended to be angry. "The censor is right. If Meng Liu really can't have children, what will you do?"
"Let's adopt one."
Emperor Ming was so angry that he beat his chest. Was he going to hand over the kingdom he had fought so hard to conquer?
"Don't some of the emperor's uncles have sons? Then you can pick one at random. If all else fails, you can just bring the son of Meng Liu's biological brother over."
Emperor Ming widened his eyes in shock. Even though he had only had one woman, Princess Duan, before, he had never been so confused!
How can the royal bloodline be mixed up! If Meng Dingfeng's son is adopted, will the world be ruled by the Fu family or the Meng family?
He instantly thought of Meng Qian'an's cowardly appearance. Such a person could sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor and become the emperor in the future.
It seems that both father and son work hard for the Meng family.
Not only is Fu Wenting himself worthless, but he also brings his father along to coax Meng Liu.
Is this your biological son?
He was so angry that he hit Fu Wenting's head twice: "Get lost, I'm angry when I see you now."
Fu Wenting shrank his neck, bowed with a playful smile and left.
As soon as he left the imperial study, his face fell.
He missed Meng Liu, but he didn't dare to look for her, for fear of seeing her disgusted expression, which would make him very painful.
After much thought, he could only sneak back to the East Palace and go to the study to handle official business.
Since that day, Meng Liu never saw Fu Wenting again.
This kid was so ruthless and disappeared without a trace. I was already angry with him, and after not seeing him for a few days, my anger grew even more.
I was only a little angry at first. Even though he forced me, I could also blame myself for not being able to control myself. This body was really disappointing and couldn't stand any teasing.
But his evasive attitude made Meng Liu unhappy.
It seemed as if he was the one being raped.
But she couldn't force him back. If she took revenge on Fu Wenting in the same way, he might be happy to see it.
The person has disappeared, but the process has already begun.
Her wedding date with Fu Wenting was set for two months later, which was a bit too rushed for the prince, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been working overtime to make the dress. In addition, she had to meet with several groups of palace maids a day, so she was too busy to find time to find fault.
When she finally found some time, Fu Wenting volunteered to go to Yazhou and would not be back for more than a month.
The more I held back my anger, the stronger it got.
But he had no appetite recently, and the experienced Meng Liu felt a pang in his heart.
