Chapter 212 The Eighth King Rejects the Crown Prince

Ding Wei looked at Kou Zhun with his eyes squinting and listening to the noisy comments in the court. Ding Wei was secretly moved and advised again: "The prince will be the king of the country, and the country will be suspicious! Isn't it equivalent to destroying the country by himself? Besides, brothers and brothers are not without precedent in our dynasty. With the virtues of the Eight Kings, once they are made the crown prince, they will definitely be in the hearts of the whole world and support them all. How can civil strife occur?"

Many officials were stunned again.

At that time, there would be two straits in the court, some supported Kou Zhun and some supported Ding Wei. The two sides argued fiercely, and the entire hall was in chaos.

Liu E stood on the top, looking at the argumentative ministers, feeling cold in her heart, clenched her fists secretly, and secretly regretted: "If I had known this, I would have issued an order yesterday to dismiss Ding Wei's position as prime minister! Your Majesty's kindness gave Ding Wei a chance!"

She wanted to say something, but after all, she had just been named the queen and knew in her heart that she had no majesty at this time. Even if these ministers showed respect, they might not care about themselves. Especially Kou Zhun, although she was helping the prince at this time, Liu E noticed that he had never called him the queen from the beginning to the end.

Liu E actually doesn't care much about the name of the queen, just as she said to Zhao Heng before. This is a matter between them and their husbands. Why bother to care whether others admit it or not?

However, she didn't care about her name as the queen, but she had to care about the prince's status.

Fortunately, she has seen the world and read history books well. She knows very well that at this moment, it is better to be silent than to speak. It would be fine if she doesn't speak, but if she opens her mouth and says a wrong sentence or even a word, it may cause unimaginable consequences.

After thinking about this, Liu E took a deep breath, turned her head to look at the prince with panic on her face, squeezed a strong smile out of the corner of her mouth, gave him a comforting look, and sat down slowly.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the ministers of the two sects below were still arguing fiercely. Seeing them talking nonstop, they were discussing the decree without hesitation in front of themselves and the prince. Liu E's face became more and more astonished, and she held the hand of the prince who was a little panicked, without saying a word.

In the midst of the noise, a sharp shout from the eunuch suddenly calmed down the audience.

"The Eight Virtue Kings are here!"

When the ministers heard that the Eight Virtuous Kings had come to court, they all moved away from each other. Liu E's face turned pale, and she held the prince's hand and added some force without realizing it. The prince's face twitched in pain.

Fortunately, the prince is young, but he is born there, and is much more sensible than ordinary people of his age. Despite the pain in his hands, he still held back his words and looked at the Eight Virtue Kings with his eyes shining, showing a hint of expectation.

The Eight Wise Kings were wearing a python dragon robe, a purple gold crown on their head, and a face full of panic.

When they arrived in the hall, the Eight Virtues raised their hand to bow to the Empress, and then gave the crown prince a reassured look, turned around and looked at the ministers.

The Eight Sage Kings' voice was so powerful that they said: "My ministers have been officials for many years. Are they only a bunch of poetry, books and etiquette, and still do not know how to assist the country? I was useless to the royal family of Zhao Song, and I am dedicated to the heartland to rule the world with the scholars and officials!"

The Eight Wise Kings said fiercely, which made the civil and military officials in the court dumbfounded.

He looked steady and did not angry and was powerful. Seeing that the lowly ministers did not speak, he said again: "The current emperor is fair and upright, and has a pure and virtuous virtue. He has governed such a prosperous world. Do you want to deny the achievements of this peaceful and prosperous era? The prince is the first heir of the royal family and belongs to the heavenly throne. Since he was in charge of the Eastern Palace, he has been frugal and generous, without any flaws. How can he be said to be abolished?"

Everyone was silent.

Seeing this, Ding Wei stepped forward in panic: "The Eight Virtuous Kings, the old ministers are also for..."

"Stop your mouth!" The Eight Virtue King shouted angrily, interrupted Ding Wei, his eyes were like torch, and he swept the entire court, then turned around and saluted the queen and the prince.

"The Empress, Prince, Zhao Defang promised that he would never inherit the throne and swear that he would be loyal to Zhao Songjiangshan in this life. If he violated this oath, he would be punished by gods and ghosts."

The Eight Wise Kings said something that made Ding Wei stunned.

Queen Liu E stood up excitedly, pulled the prince to walk down from the imperial throne and arrived in front of the Eight Kings.

Liu E looked at the Eight King excitedly and said to the prince beside her: "Son, I have not thanked your eighth uncle for his kindness for helping you!"

After hearing this, the prince hurriedly bowed to the Eighth King: "Uncle Eighth, my nephew will work hard to govern and thank Uncle Eighth for his kindness to protect him!"

The Eight King hurried forward to support him and said respectfully: "Crown Prince Huaijin will definitely achieve great things."

Seeing the Eight Kings expressing their opinions, all the officials and ministers understood that if this matter is over, there is no need to mention it in the future. It is useless to mention it. Instead, it will be punished by the royal family and will not please others inside and outside.

Kou Zhun smiled with relief, nodded while wiping his beard, looking very comforted.

On the other side, Ding Wei's face was full of depression and his eyes were even more desperate.

...

Next to the dragon chaise, Lei Yungong was still standing steadily on the imperial steps, gently lifting his eyelids, and then slowly lowering them.

In the bedroom, Zhao Heng coughed continuously, and Liu E sat beside the couch and supported him, her face full of worry.

After a while, Zhao Heng finished coughing. He slowly clenched his handkerchief, but still showed a faint bloodshot, which made Liu E's eyes turn red.

"Now... I can't stop his official position." Zhao Heng gasped.

"What?" Liu E was stunned, with a puzzled look. Although she was smart, she was not the emperor after all. If she didn't sit in that position, she would not have that kind of vision and her ideas were naturally different.

In her opinion, Ding Wei was dismissed and exiled immediately even if he was not killed.

"Ding Wei just proposed that Lao Ba succeed to the throne and dismiss his official position at this time. No matter what the reason, everyone in the world will only think... think... cough cough cough cough..."

Liu E quickly stroked Zhao Heng's back with regret on his face: "I understand! I didn't expect that Yiming Zhiren would leave such a disaster!"

Zhao Heng felt a little more comfortable, took a breath, leaned slowly against the quilt, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Lao Ba had no intention of the throne, and made his statement in public, which dispelled his delusions."

"But Ding Wei obviously took a gamble. He has been a prime minister for many years and has many sects, so he may not give up." Liu E was a little worried.

Zhao Heng nodded slightly: "I understand, so...that...that I'm summoning someone to discuss the funeral."

When Liu E heard the word "Funeral Concern", her eyes turned red and she wiped her tears silently.

At this time, Zhou Huaizheng tiptoed in and reported to Zhao Heng in a low voice: "Official family, the three ministers have arrived."

Zhao Heng nodded and sat down a little further.

Zhou Huaizheng waved his hand quickly, and the palace maids and eunuchs all bowed their heads and retreated. He himself also tiptoed and walked out quickly.

A moment later, Zhou Huaizheng led three ministers, Kou Zhun, Yang Yi and Wen Zhongshu.

The three bowed to the emperor: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

When Zhao Heng heard the sound, he raised his eyes slightly, looked at the weak breath of the three of them and said, "Everyone is exempt from politeness!"

"Yes!" Kou Zhun, Yang Yi, Wen Zhongshu and the other three stood up and all respectfully stepped forward. Zhou Huaizheng quietly walked to the side of the desk and stood up.

Liu E raised her sleeve and wiped her tears and stepped out.

"I... can't do it anymore. I'm summoning you to come today to plan to write a will of the throne..." As soon as I walked out of the door, Zhao Heng's weak voice came from inside. Liu E paused slightly and continued to move forward to the front hall.

Except for the open door area in the hall, the other areas are contrasted to darkness, just like Liu E’s mood at this time.

She stood in front of the front hall door, with her skirt straps of more than three feet long and a phoenix-covered body, but she was not as weak as an ordinary woman.

The sunlight outside the door just shone in, shining on her mottled face with tears, shining brightly.

Liu E slowly closed her eyes and tears flowed silently.

After a while, she waved her hand and said in a tired voice: "You all go back."

"Here!" The maids and maids following her were blessed with blessings, and the soft voice should be.

When the maids turned around and left the hall gate, they closed the hall gate.

The hall gate gradually closed, and only a lonely figure was left in the entire hall. After a while, Liu E slowly opened her eyes. In addition to the sadness, there was also a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness in her eyes.
