Yuanruan discussed with the system passionately, and then she couldn't resist the baby's physiological phenomenon and fell asleep.

The emperor carried Yuan Ruan to the side hall of the Golden Throne Hall, and before leaving, he said, "Dismiss the court."

The courtiers saluted: "Farewell, Your Majesty."

However, after the emperor and the prince disappeared, the court officials did not leave. They looked at each other and stood there in silence.

Marquis Chengguo suddenly said, "Everyone, I would like to gather you to discuss the matter of the young state teacher. This matter concerns all of us..."

The Minister of Rites was the first to bow and said, "I'm sorry, Marquis Chengguo, I'm afraid I can't continue to give the young imperial teacher these little gifts that will make him lose his spirit. This time, I will withdraw."

Marquis Chengguo narrowed his eyes.

Before he could say anything, the Minister of War stepped forward and said, "I don't plan to continue. Since the young imperial master is so motivated, it's just a matter of exposing some of his secrets. It's okay if it means social death. It's better for the young imperial master to be energetic. I'm going to quit, too."

The Minister of Finance also nodded and said, "That's right. In the face of the fate of the Great Xia, personal reputation and safety can be ignored."

Other court officials who had participated in Cheng Guohou's plan also stepped forward and prepared to express their withdrawal.

Seeing this, Chengguo Hou was almost furious. He patted his chest vigorously and shouted, "Why are you all so eager to express your opinions in front of me? Do you think I am someone who can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant?!"

The courtiers looked slightly strange.

Seeing their distrustful looks, Cheng Guohou waved his hand and said loudly: "This marquis hopes to gather everyone together to find a way to help the little state teacher find a national destiny task that can earn thirty points as soon as possible! Nothing else!"

The court officials were stunned. Was this still the Marquis Chengguo who enjoyed pleasure and had a restless family?

The old general with a broken arm who was familiar with him clapped his hands and said to everyone, "No matter what you think in your heart, as long as everyone is working in the same direction, it will be fine. Let's talk about what kind of opportunity we can find to help the young national teacher complete the national destiny mission?"

The person from the Imperial Observatory said, "I remember the system said that a small country's destiny can only trigger its destiny mission if it sees those people. In this case, won't the Taoist priests from the Dragon and Tiger Dojo come to compete? Why don't we set up a ring on Chang'an Street and compete openly? This will definitely attract many people..."

"Bah! No! The little imperial master is not a monkey who plays tricks. I don't agree." The Minister of Rites rolled his eyes and said, "If you really want to gather a large number of people, can't you just hold a celebration?!"

Yu Hongyu, who was about to run away, hesitated for a moment and nodded, saying, "I agree. This time the potato harvest is great, why not hold a ceremony to worship the potatoes and thank the little national master? This way, the little national fortune will definitely see many people."

The Right Censor-in-Chief, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "I agree."

Yu Hongyu was stunned instantly.

Several courtiers began to steal glances and snicker.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue saw that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and couldn't help but said: "My Lords, everyone! I remember that the system once said that only people who are noticed by the Little State Master can be selected. So I think that it is not enough to be noticed by the Little State Master, but also to arouse the Little State Master's interest in this person. If it is a sacrificial ceremony, the Little State Master saw so many people at the Heaven and Earth Altar of Jiujun Mountain before, but he didn't trigger the National Destiny Mission."

The Minister of Justice nodded and said, "That makes sense. Do you have any other suggestions?"

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"What the Minister of Revenue said makes sense. We should choose someone who can attract the attention of Ninth Sister and who is the type that can easily trigger the National Destiny Mission."

The court officials turned around in surprise and saw that the prince was walking against the light, and the person walking in front of him was actually the emperor.

"Your Majesty, long live the throne! Good morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The court officials saluted one after another.

The emperor glanced at everyone and asked, "Have you come up with any ideas?"

This time, no court official dared to speak easily. Everyone knew that the emperor valued the young imperial teacher and was afraid that he might accidentally say something offensive.

The emperor glanced at the crowd again, his eyes fell on Cheng Guohou who was still trying to hide behind him, and said, "Cheng Guohou, everyone in Chang'an respects you. They all say you have the most clever ideas. Tell me one and let me hear it."

Cheng Guohou was shocked. I had already hidden at the back, how come you still saw me? !

Chengguo Hou knelt down quickly and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am a nobody, how can I give you advice?"

The emperor said slowly: "Well, if you think so, I remember that you have two sons who have reached adulthood, and it seems that the time has come for them to inherit the title..."

The other court officials looked at Marquis Chengguo while trying to hold back their laughter.

Chengguo Hou: ...

Your Majesty, I guess you still hold a grudge against me for instigating court officials to send gifts to small countries!

The title was the money bag of the Marquis of Chengguo. He took a deep breath and said with a stiff face: "Your Majesty, this old minister...this old minister is just throwing out some ideas. This minister...well, this is what I think! My...sons are just in time to participate in the princess's selection of a husband! Right!"

Cheng Guohou was still stumbling, but suddenly he slapped his thigh and said, "This month we have to choose a husband for the second princess, and all the young talents are from officials and aristocratic families of Daxia. If we can let the little imperial teacher participate in the second princess's husband selection, wouldn't it be a chance to trigger the national destiny mission!"

Courtiers: !!!

Damn, a bad idea that I never thought of came up.

"Does the Marquis of Chengguo want to ruin my marriage?" The courtiers whose sons also wanted to participate in the selection of a son-in-law could no longer hold back and glared at each other, "You, what do you mean! Don't think that your son will be fine! You have two."

"What's wrong with me? Both of my sons are in there, some have good reputations and some have bad reputations. I am impartial!" Cheng Guohou looked at the other party with a fierce look, "Or is it that your family is not at peace, and you are afraid that the young imperial teacher will find out something?! If so, why don't you withdraw from this son-in-law selection?"

Those people were so angry that they wanted to die. Nowadays, princesses and their husbands can become officials and participate in politics!

Marrying a princess is like having an extra shield in front of a tyrant. Who can be willing to give up such a life-saving talisman?

They continued to angrily rebuke Cheng Guohou: "The Second Princess is the Queen's legitimate daughter and the Crown Prince's biological sister. Choosing a husband for her is a major national event. How can you be allowed to interfere so recklessly?"

Chengguo Hou ignored them completely and just bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! Choosing a husband for the princess is a national event, and finding a national destiny mission for the young imperial master is also a national event. Hey, it's great to do two national events together, serious and lively!"

The court officials who did not have sons to participate in the selection of a son-in-law all showed their interest, and some even whispered: "What the Marquis Chengguo said makes sense! This is for the greater good!"

Those who participated in the selection of the prince consort were even more angry, and they said, "What kind of righteousness! It's because the melon didn't fall on them!"

The two sides argued endlessly. Finally, the court officials looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, we are waiting for your judgment!"

The prince almost laughed out loud: What an outrageous judgment.

emperor:……

Now the pressure came to the emperor.
