Three Kingdoms: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are Summoned at the Start - Chapter 475
Chapter 485 Above The Court, The Queen’S Story
Vertical sun, above the court.
After Liu Bian sat on the dragon seat to accept the worship of the officials.
He cleared his throat and said, “Yesterday Kong Aiqing suggested to me that now that the big man has become stable, an empress should be established to make the people of the world safe, and I also think that this matter should be put on the agenda.
“Today’s morning court is held, mainly to discuss this issue, I wonder what opinions all of you Ai Qing have?
After Liu Bian finished speaking, he glanced at the ministers standing down.
Many of them were overjoyed when they heard this.
Of course, these people were greeted by Kong Rong yesterday.
However, although these people were secretly happy, none of them dared to speak first.
The so-called ‘shooting the first bird”, these are the old fritters in the officialdom, no matter how happy the “two seven zero” promised below, no one is willing to come out in front of the emperor.
Kong Rong was also mentally prepared for this phenomenon and was not surprised.
He took a step forward and said loudly: “Only by conferring the position of empress can the people of the world feel at ease, and only then can the great man be prosperous and prosperous again.”35
Kong Rong took the lead in making a statement, and the rest of the group even agreed.
Liu Bian waved his hand gently: “All ministers, you can speak freely today, and express your thoughts in your heart.”
Kong Rong said: “The position of the queen must be worthy of a virtuous person. Zhen Ji, the fifth daughter of the Zhen family, was virtuous before she entered the palace. The old minister recommended her to be the queen.”
“Oh?”
Liu Bian didn’t have any surprises and said with a smile, “What about the rest?”
Seeing Liu Bian’s mood is good, even a little happy, the rest of the people are even more relieved.
“Wei Chen agrees with Master Kong’s proposal, the Zhen family is a famous family, and the world knows it, so it can be a queen!
“My minister agrees!”
“Wei minister thought that Yang Yuhuan could also be the queen! 99
“I agree with…”
Everyone rushed to speak first, but all of them either agreed with Kong Rong’s appointment of Zhen Ji as the queen, or recommended Yang Yuhuan.
Apart from these two people, there are no other candidates.
Liu Bian smiled inwardly, but his face remained silent.
Almost everyone present expressed their opinions, but only Liu Bowen and Xun Yu did not speak.
Liu Bian said: “Xun Aiqing, Liu Aiqing, and the rest have all expressed their opinions, why didn’t you speak up? I don’t know who is the most suitable candidate in your heart?
Liu Bowen originally closed his eyes slightly, as if he was not interested in this at all.
But when Liu Bian opened his mouth to ask, Liu Bowen stepped forward and said: “The queen’s position is equivalent to the wife of an ordinary person. How to choose naturally has to obey the orders of the parents, but your majesty is the real son of the dragon, so naturally you don’t need this.”
“Therefore, it depends on your majesty’s intentions who can be named queen.
“I just need to do my job well and don’t let Your Majesty worry about it, that’s fine, no matter who Your Majesty chooses, the ministers can only obey, and can’t have any other questions.
Liu Bowen said nothing, and when he said it, he directly offended everyone present.
Kong Rong even rebuked him directly: “The Tian family has no personal affairs, any actions of His Majesty will cause different reactions in the world, how can you decide at will?
“As His Majesty’s ministers, if we don’t share the worries of Your Majesty and consider it for His Majesty, how can we be regarded as competent ministers?”
Liu Bowen shook his head: “Master Kong’s remarks are biased. If the concubines in the harem say who knows best, it is naturally His Majesty. Therefore, as long as His Majesty chooses, he must have made a decision in his heart.”
“My servants don’t know the ladies in the harem, how can I recommend them casually?
“If the recommendation is wrong, who can bear such a great responsibility?
Liu Bowen showed no mercy because of Kong Rongde’s high esteem.
After Kong Rong heard this, he was even more angry. In the past, as a descendant of Confucius, he was respected wherever he went.
Even Liu Bian looked at him differently, who knew that Liu Bowen would be scolded by him in public.
It is undeniable that Liu Bowen’s words have some truth.
In the past, the position of the queen was the crown princess established by the previous emperor.
However, although Liu Bian is the crown prince, he was still young at first, and it was impossible for him to get married.
When he first became emperor, the capital was in chaos, and then he was abolished by Dong Zhuo, so he did not establish an empress.
Originally, it was also possible to recommend by the ministers, but when encountering a powerful king, there was really no such thing as a group of ministers.
Therefore, Liu Bowen is not wrong to say so.
Liu Bian stared at the two of them blowing their beards and staring, and was about to quarrel, and suddenly smiled and said, “Both of you are right. 35
“Kong Aiqing also recommended it for me, and that’s what the big man who is worried will say.
Kong Rong said: “Your Majesty’s words are very true, and this minister has such thoughts.
Liu Bian nodded, then turned to Liu Bowen and said, “However, what Liu Aiqing said is absolutely right. After all, setting up an empress is a big deal, and I know more about the people in the harem.”
“Therefore, I still need to consider the matter of the queen.”
“But the person you recommend will be considered carefully! 39
After saying this, Liu Bian got up from the dragon chair and stepped back directly.
The rest of the officials looked at each other in dismay, unable to grasp the meaning of the emperor.
After Liu Bian left, the rest also stepped down.
However, most of the people surrounded Kong Rong.
“Master Kong, what does Your Majesty mean today? It doesn’t seem to be unhappy, and it doesn’t seem to be too happy. 35
“yes!”
“What does Your Majesty mean? Are you still satisfied with Lady Zhen?
“That is, the recommendation of so many of us together, can’t it affect Your Majesty? 35
Everyone asked in a row, causing Kong Rong to have a headache.
He originally felt that Liu Bian’s attitude was a bit wrong today, but he had not yet figured out what was wrong.
Hearing the buzzing sound in my ear made my head hurt even more.
He couldn’t help but remember what Xun Yu said yesterday, did he really want to fight for these people?
He hesitated a bit, and was very confused in his heart.
Shaking his head, Kong Rong left the crowd without saying a word from beginning to end.
The officials who were left looking at each other froze in place.
