PS: There was an accident in yesterday's snow, so I cannot upload it.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
At the beginning of the Heavenly Court meeting, someone jumped out and loudly said, "The Heavenly Court has been established for a long time and Your Majesty still has no heir. In order to calm the hearts of the people, I ask that Your Majesty have an heir as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people."
With these words, the calm Qing Zhu's eyebrows jumped up. His biggest headache had come again.
All the officials turned their heads and saw that it was Heavenly King Kou's men. Everyone quickly turned their heads to look at Heavenly King Kou. They did not know why Heavenly King Kou suddenly threw out this. Could it be because of Niu Youde that he was purposely trying to disgust Qing Zhu?
Kou Tianwang stood there unperturbed. Xiahou Ta, who was sitting in the corner, also raised his eyebrows. He slowly closed his eyes to rest, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
The Universal Palace fell silent. Qing Zhu coldly swept his eyes over everyone. Seeing no one speak, he coldly snorted and personally replied, "I will consider this matter, there is no need for you to say anything."
As soon as he said this, another person from the Kou faction stood up, "Your Majesty, words cannot be said like this. Your Majesty has already considered this matter for many years and has been dragging it on. When will it end? Your Majesty, please give me a specific time."
Qing Zhu's face sank, "This is my private matter, there is no need to bring it to court and talk about it."
Who would have thought that another person from the Kou faction would stand up, cupping his hands together, "Your Majesty, these words are wrong. Your Majesty's private matter is also a major matter of the world. It should be discussed openly in court, so how can it be discussed endlessly?"
This was one after another, not like it was a joke. The Kou family seemed to want to go all out.
As expected, someone stood up, "I agree. The Empress has served Your Majesty for many years. Even if she has not done much, she has worked hard. Although she is in her prime, she will eventually grow old. If this drags on, Your Majesty will have no problem. But the Empress, if this drags on until the Empress is old, how can the Empress endure this? "
This was not to disgust Qing Zhu, but to speak for Xiahou Chengyu!
Everyone was shocked. They quickly looked at Kou Lingxu and then at Xiahou Ta's reaction. These two families had actually colluded together. What benefits did the Xiahou family give the Kou family for them to jump out and speak for them?
Ying Jiuguang quickly turned around and gave his men a look. What kind of joke was this? Once Xiahou Chengyu gave birth to a son for Lord Qing, not to mention that Lord Qing had to give Xiahou Chengyu face, he would at least have to consider his son's side. In an instant, Zhan Ruyi would be completely suppressed. Moreover, with the future Sky Emperor there, even a fool would know which side to stand on.
Immediately, someone from the Ying Family stepped forward, "Your Majesty, this subject also feels that Your Majesty should have an heir as soon as possible. However, Your Majesty's heir concerns the entire world. Be it virtue or wisdom, they must be responsible. There are countless beauties in the harem, and Your Majesty indeed needs to choose one who meets the requirements and can satisfy Your Majesty so that Your Majesty can have an heir as soon as possible. "
What did he mean by satisfying His Majesty? Right now, His Majesty's favorite woman was undoubtedly the Heavenly Consort. This was to eliminate the Empress. How could Xiahou Ta, who was resting with his eyes closed, listen to these words? He quickly opened his eyes and sent a signal to leave.
"Bullsh * t!" Someone from Xiahou's faction cursed angrily. "What do you mean by a legitimate son? Don't you understand what it means to be a bastard? There was an order of seniority. His Majesty's first son could only be born of his first wife, with the exception of the Empress. Who could compete with him? If the mortals of the world messed up, they would only bring disaster to one family. If His Majesty messed up, then everyone would follow His Majesty's example. Every family would fight for power, and every family would fall into chaos. That would cause chaos in the world. Can you bear this crime? "
The people from the Kou faction jumped out and shouted, "That's right! If anyone tries to use a bastard to harbor evil intentions, I, Yi, will be the first to object! "
The people from the Ying faction replied, "His Majesty naturally has his own considerations!"
The problem now was no longer a question of whether or not to have an heir, but a question of who the Green Lord would have an heir with. The people from the Guang faction and the Hao faction remained silent. They would not oppose the Green Lord having an heir as soon as possible. Not only would the Green Lord not be able to say anything, but having an heir as soon as possible would also be beneficial to everyone. On this point, the entire Heavenly Court had come to a consensus. Only the Green Lord remained ambiguous and did not make a decision.
The people from the Ying faction also went all out, arguing with the people from the Kou faction. However, the people from the Kou faction and Xiahou faction kept on using the fact that the Green Lord would have an heir, pressuring the people from the Ying faction to argue.
The Green Lord's face darkened. As the Celestial Emperor, he did not even have the right to choose who he would have an heir with. He really wanted to kill all these bastards. However, this was impossible. They urged him to have an heir, so why did they kill the officials?
Seeing that the people from the Ying faction were at a disadvantage, Ying Jiuguang was a little anxious. He could not let this court meeting force the Green Lord to give in. He immediately said, "His Majesty said he would consider it, so naturally he will consider it. What are you all doing? Trying to force the Green Lord to abdicate? Kou Lingxu, is this your idea? "His eyes were sharp, wanting to force Kou Lingxu to make a statement.
With such a big accusation being placed on Kou Lingxu's head, it immediately caused the noisy hall to calm down.
"If you have something to say, just say it. How did a discussion between the officials become a force to abdicate? If you don't dare to speak, then what's the point of everyone standing here?" Kou Lingxu said slowly, "I am also thinking about the officials' intentions. Left Commander, what do you think about this matter?"
He would not easily express his stance. Once he did, there would be no turning back. If he changed his stance in the future, it would be like slapping his own mouth and offending the Ying Clan. The Xiahou Clan would not act unless they saw the rabbit, but he would also not act unless he saw the rabbit.
Everyone knew that the people from the Kou faction jumped out because Kou Lingxu instigated them from behind.
Xiahou Ta cursed in his heart, but he also knew that it was impossible to let the Kou Clan be firm with their words.
Kou Lingxu pointed at Po Jun. Everyone's eyes also fell on Po Jun.
The Green Lord stared coldly at Po Jun. He was secretly pressuring him.
Po Jun. was silent for a while. He took a step forward and cupped his hands, saying, "This official requests Your Majesty to have an heir as soon as possible! I also agree that Your Majesty should have the eldest son. However, Empress Xiahou cannot take on this heavy responsibility. This official requests Your Majesty to abolish the Empress and appoint another Empress! "
The Green Lord was instantly enraged. He even had the intention to chop Po Jun. It was fine if others forced him, but even his trusted aides forced him. This old man!
He suddenly looked coldly at Wu Qu, Sima Wentian, and the others, wanting them to speak up for him.
Who would have thought that these people all pretended not to see anything, their eyes looking at their noses, their noses looking at their hearts, completely ignoring Qing Zhu.
Green Lord gritted his teeth in hatred. However, he also knew that the matter of having an heir was also related to the benefits of his trusted aides. Once he could not cross the Gates of Hell, his son would have grown up. It was only natural that his trusted aides would support his son and protect their benefits. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what would happen.
Therefore, on this matter, no one stood on the Green Lord's side. He was truly alone.
Of course, it was not that he did not have the intention of having an heir. He had thought of giving everyone an explanation to reassure them. However, he had other plans. He was not an ordinary person. He could still live for a long time, and the matter of inheriting the throne was definitely not a priority. If his son grew up too early, it would not be a good thing for him. No one was willing to abdicate after sitting on the throne, and if he did not abdicate, he would have to suppress his son. This was a very difficult matter to deal with.
In addition, he had not gotten rid of a major threat, and dragging down his family might not be a good thing.
Furthermore, he was not very satisfied with Xiahou Chengyu. If not for the fact that he had no other choice back then, he would not have made Xiahou Chengyu the Empress. The bloodline of the Xiahou Clan was truly too strong. He had never seen anyone from the Xiahou Clan with a decent appearance. The same was true for the Xiahou Clan's women when they married outside. This caused the Green Lord to worry about the appearance of his descendants. If it was Zhan Ruyi, he might have compromised. However, if he really heard Po Jun. Xiahou Chengyu was crippled, the reaction of the Xiahou Clan could be imagined.
Po Jun.'s words immediately angered Xiahou Ta. Dong! His crutch slammed heavily on the ground. Xiahou Ta suddenly stood up and pointed at Po Jun. He scolded, "Traitor, how dare you say such disgraceful words!"
Po Jun. glanced at him and sneered, too lazy to care about him.
Ying Jiuguang's eyes lit up as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He jumped out personally. "I second the Left Commander's words!" Of course, he knew that once the Empress was abolished, Zhan Ruyi would have the highest chance of becoming the Empress.
"I second the motion!" The Ying Faction's troops immediately followed.
"Hmph hmph!" Po Jun. sneered and cupped his hands at the Green Lord again. "The concubines recommended by the nobles are all suspected of interfering in politics and are not suitable to be the Empress. I ask Your Majesty to find another virtuous lady to be the Empress!"
The moment he said this, he offended everyone.
"Po Jun. You're full of nonsense!"
Immediately, a group of people appeared to scold him. Most of them were probably scolding him, as if he was being condemned by everyone.
"Enough! The Empress is the mother of the world. How can you talk nonsense about abolishing her. All of you, shut up and disperse! " The Green Lord stood up and roared. He swung his sleeves and ran away. He had to use this excuse to run away. If he continued to be entangled, would he agree to the issue of having an heir or not?
Since he had run away, everyone looked at each other and naturally dispersed. The people who were quarreling just a moment ago gathered together in twos and threes, whispering to each other as they slowly walked out.
Xiahou Ta, who was sitting in the corner, looked in the direction of the Green Lord's departure. The corner of his mouth curled into a mocking smile. Unless you never come to court again, I will force you to give me an answer.
Turning back, he saw that Kou Lingxu was still dawdling at the back. Xiahou Ta got up and walked over to catch up. Walking side by side, he casually said, "Don't worry about the Ghost City, Your Highness."
Today, the Kou Faction had already worked hard in court. Kou Lingxu was waiting for this sentence. He immediately pointed at the doorway cheerfully. "Tianweng, take care."
In the Heavenly Valley Palace, Xiahou Chengyu was anxiously pacing back and forth. From time to time, he would lean on the door and look around.
