Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

The second floor is where the emperor resides.

Furun had already knelt before the emperor.

"Dad, this has nothing to do with my daughter. It's Xingchen talking nonsense. She's using my daughter as a weapon."

Emperor Jingtai looked at Furun, his eyes were complex, but not complicated.

"Furun, if you were a man, Dad wouldn't be so distressed."

"..." Furun's expression was gloomy, "My daughter is guilty."

The more Liang Hong thought about it, the more he found it unbelievable. He angrily shouted:

"You are talking nonsense. Since ancient times, there has never been a woman who became a crown prince."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"It is true that His Majesty has one daughter and three sons. However, the three princes are equally talented and their virtues are even more outstanding, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. However, there is only one princess, and she can be distinguished at a glance. Therefore, it is more convenient to make her the Crown Princess."

"If the princes were truly virtuous and wise, they would wholeheartedly assist the Crown Princess in governing state affairs. Otherwise, this would reveal who has the least virtue."

"..."

Chen Jingting heard her speak so forcefully and righteously, which was simply wonderful.

Others dug a hole for her, and she fought back and dug a hole for others.

If any of the three princes jumps out to oppose first, he will be considered a man without virtue.

Chen Jingting looked back at Chen Jingye on the stage, and saw that he also nodded slightly, praising the princess's wisdom.

After hearing this, veins bulged between his eyebrows and forehead, showing his anger.

She has indeed changed.

The eldest legitimate son will be appointed as the crown prince. Since there is no legitimate son, Xiao Sheng is the eldest son and can be appointed as the crown prince.

But she kept saying that she wanted to establish the legitimate son as the heir, and never mentioned the eldest son.

Liang Hong forced her, but she didn't expect that she would rather be laughed at than correct the orthodoxy. It was simply hateful.

Chen Jingting, who was in the audience, listened to the princess's words. Although it was a bit against the world, he put aside the crisis.

The appointment of a princess as the crown princess was just a joke and had nothing to do with state affairs.

He couldn't help but say from the audience, "Mr. Wen is absolutely right."

However, the first one to jump out was Wu Shidao.

"You are talking nonsense. A woman in power is disrupting the country."

Wen Xingchen frowned and counterattacked:

"It's obvious that you are afraid that women will be in power and better than you men."

"You... Brother Wen, you are also a man, why do you say that?"

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Who said I was a man?"

Before Wu Shidao could even begin to suspect anything, someone came to invite Wen Xingchen. It was Yang Ling.

"Princess Huayang, His Majesty invites you."

Your Majesty? Princess?

"Your Majesty is here?"

Liang Hongwen in the guild hall stood up immediately, and the students knelt down in worship, shouting "Long live the Buddha".

Wen Xingchen, who was coming off the stage, whispered as he left, "Wu Shidao, please be nice later. Your future success depends on this step."

Wu Shidao felt a little flustered.

He was not stupid, the princess was paving the way for her. But why?

He guessed that the nobles in the capital had repeatedly recruited students to serve their own purposes.

And the princess wants to recruit him?

How can he be so virtuous?

No, he will definitely not let the princess down.

Wen Xingchen and Chen Jingye went upstairs, walked before the emperor, and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Xingchen has met his uncle."

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Wen Xingchen got up and saw that Furun's eyes were full of anger, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Wen Xingchen smiled and said, "Cousin Furun, why are you kneeling? What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with my honoring you so much, Princess Royal?"

"Shut up! You're really good at making trouble for me. You said you wanted to get out of trouble, but you shouldn't make fun of me. Crown Princess? How dare you say that."

"I'm telling the truth. You've already taken the throne as the eldest son. You're the one destined by heaven, aren't you, uncle the emperor?"

In the whole world, only the princess can make such a joke in front of the emperor.

As soon as Wen Xingchen finished speaking, Liang Hong angrily scolded him, "Princess, you are talking nonsense and disturbing the country. Stop talking nonsense."

The two brothers Chen Jingye and Chen Jingting looked at each other and said nothing.

Why couldn't Liang Hong understand?

The fact that Wen Xingchen could say this in front of the emperor meant that she was definitely favored. Otherwise, if she kept calling him the Crown Princess, if it were someone else, they would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.

Emperor Jingtai asked calmly:

"Then according to Lord Liang's opinion, who should I appoint as the new emperor?"

Who should be appointed?

Liang Hong didn't expect that the last question would be thrown to him.

Although he didn't dare to act rashly, he had to say, "According to the rules, Your Majesty has no legitimate son, so the eldest son should be enthroned."

He then added, "And the princess also said that the eldest son should be appointed as the heir."

Wen Xingchen laughed inexplicably after hearing this. Liang Hong wanted to use her power to achieve his goal.

"Master Liang, you can't distort this statement like this. I was talking about the eldest son of the legitimate wife, not the eldest son of a concubine."

"Your Majesty has no eldest son."

"But there is a eldest daughter."

Liang Hong glared angrily.

"Throughout history, there has never been a woman in power."

"We in Daliang can create a new world and become famous throughout history."

"..."

Liang Hong felt tired of talking to him, so he said directly: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

"You old man, you keep cursing when you can't get an argument. You are disrespectful to the elderly and it's really disgraceful."

"You..." Liang Hong didn't expect that at his age, he hadn't been scolded by a younger person. He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please help me."

Wen Xingchen also knelt down, but he knelt directly beside the emperor.

"Uncle, you heard it, he was the first to scold Xingchen."

Emperor Jingtai thought to himself: You scolded me well.

He is indeed disrespectful to the elderly.

You are really old, and you are still designing children.

He just didn't believe that Liang Hong didn't know Wen Xingchen's identity.

However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the emperor could only say:

"Xingchen, you must respect your elders."

Wen Xingchen curled his lips.

"Uncle, you don't even care about Xingchen anymore."

Emperor Jingtai said, "Lord Liang, please get up too. Why are you so angry with the child?"

Liang Hong wanted to say something, but he was in the wrong first, and he was speaking in front of the emperor. Emperor Jingtai did not listen to their nonsense, but remembered the words of another student.

"Master Liang, was that student from Songshan Academy?"

"Your Majesty, the student who just came down is named Wu Shidao. He is a student who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination. He has never been employed at Songshan Academy."

"It's rare for a local area to raise such an insightful student. Let him come up and I'll ask him a few questions."

Chen Jingye went downstairs to call the person up.

When meeting the emperor for the first time, Wu Shidao behaved quite well.

He was glad that the clothes he was wearing today were made by Miss Yingying, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

"Student Wu Shidao pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."

The emperor said, "Stand up and answer."

"Yes."

Wu Shidao stood up, but did not dare to look around. He lowered his head and waited for reprimand.

From what Wen Xingchen said just now, he probably had already guessed in his heart that the emperor would seek him out for questioning.

Also prepared.

"You just said that when choosing a crown prince, one should choose a virtuous and capable person. In your opinion, what does it mean to be a virtuous and capable person?"

Wu Shidao did not refuse. If he refused now, he would be wasting the opportunity to meet the Saint.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei, along with Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, conquered the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bei's death, he named Liu Chan his successor. However, Liu Chan was incompetent and ultimately failed to protect the country."

“It can be seen that choosing a wise and capable successor is a meritorious deed for both the country and its reputation.”

"go on."
