Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Seeing that the other party also opposed, the two old foxes were no longer in a hurry to speak, and both hoped that the other party would stand up and oppose first.

Ye Zhiqiu was impatient to watch the two quarreling, so he pointed at the tutor and asked him to speak first, and the prime minister to speak later. He did this because the tutor was also the emperor's teacher, and had a great influence on the emperor, and his granddaughter was also smarter.

In the original text, although the granddaughter of the Taifu did not become the queen, she quickly secured the position of one of the four concubines after entering the palace, and gave birth to a prince a few years later. She was much better than Liu, the favored queen who had only the title of queen but no children.

The Grand Tutor had to speak out her objection when she was chosen: "The Queen is a role model for women in the world. Miss Liu's behavior is not worthy of being the mother of the country. If Your Majesty really wants to make her the Queen, I'm afraid that many women outside the court will be unhappy and women all over the world will not agree."

With so many people watching in the hall, someone will spread the news sooner or later. I think this is the reason why Renshou Palace called everyone here. It's not that they can't deal with Miss Liu, but they don't want to be the bad guy.

The Prime Minister followed the Grand Tutor and nodded, "Your Majesty, Miss Liu is so jealous. If you really make her the queen, can you guarantee that there will be other princes and princesses born in the future?"

After hearing what the Prime Minister said, Li looked at his old face a little more pleasing than before: "The Prime Minister is right. Liu dared to harm others, so she is not worthy of being the Queen. My son, did you give her the courage?"

The emperor did not admit that he wanted to make Liu the empress, but he would not let her harm anyone, especially his own cousin. He hoped that Li Liuniang could speak up for Liu. As long as she, the victim, did not pursue the matter, the matter should be resolved.

Ye Zhiqiu said unhappily: "Emperor, Miss Li is not the Queen yet, she has no say in matters concerning the harem."

"I'll make her the queen, so she can have the final say." The emperor blurted out that he wanted to make Li Liuniang the queen, and he was stunned after saying it. Why would he say that? It's useless to make his cousin the queen. As long as she is not in charge of the palace power, the harem will be ruled by Renshou Palace.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't care about the emperor's gaffe, but Li took the opportunity to say, "My son, what did you say? You want to make your cousin the queen? My son, write the imperial edict quickly."

The emperor wanted to regret it, but he couldn't say it in front of the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister. The Grand Tutor had taught him since he was a child that a king should not joke with his words. If he dared to regret it, his chance of ruling the country would be even more distant.

Concubine Liu looked at her niece, hoping that she could step forward to stop the emperor. She was just one step away from success, and she couldn't let the Li family intercept her. So what if the emperor's uncle's family was so powerful? They were not close to the emperor, and the uncle who had only seen a few times since childhood could not be compared with the imperial tutor.

She wanted to use the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister, but the two old foxes just ignored the farce. They sent their granddaughter to the palace just to give birth to a prince, but she couldn't be the queen. Being the queen mother would have the same effect, so she was able to remain calm in the face of the farce.

Miss Liu's tearful appearance is indeed heartbreaking, but her silent cousin is also heartbreaking. The emperor is in a dilemma, why is there only one empress? Li sees his hesitation and softness most clearly, after all, they are mother and son.

It was just one step away from being replaced by the emperor. Li did not introduce her but pushed her niece: "Son, if you don't want to make your cousin the empress, then give her a title and find a good family for her to marry. With your support, your cousin can be the legal wife no matter who she marries, and she can live a good life. No one in her husband's family dares to treat her badly."

The emperor felt very uncomfortable when he thought that his cousin was going to marry another man. His silence was seen by everyone. Li lowered her head to hide the smile on her face. The imperial decree had not yet been issued, so she had to hold back her laughter.

Ye Zhiqiu decided to be a good person and gave him a push: "Prince Jin, who do you think is more suitable to be the queen, Miss Liu or Miss Li?"

Prince Jin played dumb: "Ah, what did the Emperor's sister-in-law say? I didn't hear it clearly. Please say it again."

Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at him: "Where are the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister?"

This time, the Prime Minister was more decisive than the Grand Tutor and responded before him: "I have no objection, anyone will do." He decided to get his granddaughter engaged when he returned. If he couldn't find a wife in the capital, he would marry her off to another place. If Renshou Palace could give up the position of Queen, then so could he.

The position of queen is not easy to sit on, and it will be even more difficult to meet an emperor who is soft-hearted, easily influenced and indecisive. The family has already relied on him to the limit, and there is no need to sacrifice the happiness of his granddaughter to preserve the wealth of his grandchildren.

As long as he lives, he can keep his family rich. When he dies, his children and grandchildren will return to their hometown to mourn. His son is incompetent and his grandchildren have no future. If his granddaughter really wants to become a queen, she will only have a group of relatives who hold her back. Giving up cannot keep wealth, but it will definitely keep a safe life.

The Grand Tutor didn't expect that his old rival would also become a fence-sitter, but it was a bit difficult for him to give up. To him, the emperor was not only the emperor, but also his student. The feelings he had brought up from childhood were incomparable to those of the others present.

Although Empress Dowager Li gave birth to the emperor, the time they spent together was probably not as long as that spent between the Grand Tutor and the emperor. He sent his granddaughter to the palace for power, but at the same time he also wanted to stand by the emperor. However, he understood his students and they wanted to have their cake and eat it too.

If an emperor can't even handle the trivial matters of love, how can he really handle the affairs of state? The imperial tutor looked at the emperor who was still in a dilemma, and a shadow fell on his heart.

Ye Zhiqiu was unwilling to let the Master go, and urged again: "Master, what do you think?"

The Grand Tutor thought of his granddaughter, who had been brought up according to the palace rules since she was young. If she didn't enter the palace, she would have to marry into other noble families. He ranked the legitimate sons of the major families in his mind. There were not many who were worthy of his granddaughter but had no engagement. If he eliminated his political opponents, there would be no choice. It seemed that there were many choices, but in fact, there was only one way left, which was to enter the palace.

Well, there is no system of concubines being buried alive with the dead in this dynasty, and entering the palace is not a bad choice. It is better than being sent back to her parents' home with a divorce letter when her family falls into defeat one day.

The Grand Tutor thought it through. Since his granddaughter was definitely going to enter the palace, he might as well follow the Emperor's wishes. As long as the Emperor was around, no empress would dare to bully his granddaughter. However, one of the four concubines was not acceptable. She had to have a royal concubine.

The Taifu had a good idea, but unfortunately the emperor and he did not have a tacit understanding. Except for Li, everyone else gave the decision-making power of choosing the queen to the emperor, leaving him without his own opinion.

Li glared at everyone and used a tough attitude to force the emperor to issue an imperial decree, stating that if Li Liuniang was not made empress, she would no longer be her mother.

"mother."

"aunt."

Li was stubborn and would not listen to anyone's advice. The emperor had no choice but to issue an imperial decree when Liu fainted.

"Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician quickly." Concubine Liu shouted excitedly, lamenting that her niece was smart for once, and it would be too late if she really asked the Emperor to write an imperial edict.

Ye Zhiqiu took a look at the angry Li and decided to help Miss Liu. Having one Li in the harem was enough. If there was another queen with the surname Li, her life as the queen dowager would not be easy. It would be better for Miss Liu to be the queen.
