Chapter 56 Now the pressure is on the emperor.

Yuanruan discussed it 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, "I will leave 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 spoke up: "Everyone, I would like to gather everyone to discuss the matter of the young imperial teacher. This matter concerns all of us..."

The Minister of Rites was the first to bow and said, "I'm sorry, Marquis Cheng, I'm afraid I can't continue to send some toys and gifts to the young imperial teacher. This time, I'll 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 capable, it's just a matter of getting his pants pierced. It doesn't matter 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 nation, personal reputation and safety can be ignored."

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

Seeing this, Cheng Guohou was almost angry to death. 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 court officials looked slightly strange.

Seeing their distrustful looks, Cheng Guohou waved his hand and said loudly: "I hope to gather everyone together to find a way to help the young imperial teacher find a national destiny mission that can earn 30 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 the 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 need to find to help the young national teacher complete the national destiny mission?"

The Qintianjian people spoke up: "I remember the system said that a small country can only trigger its national destiny mission after seeing those talents. 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 young imperial tutor 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 invite 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, "I agree. The potato harvest is good this time, so why not hold a ceremony to sacrifice potatoes to thank the little imperial master? This way, the little imperial master will definitely see many people."

The Right Minister of Justice, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "I agree."

Yu Hongyu was stunned for a moment.

Several courtiers began to steal glances and laugh.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue saw that the atmosphere was a bit strange and could not help but said, "My Lords, my Lords! I remember the system once said that only people who are noticed by the Little Imperial Master can be selected. So I think that it is not enough to be noticed by the Little Imperial Master, but the Little Imperial Master must be interested in this person. If it is a sacrificial ceremony, the Little Imperial Master saw so many people at the Heaven and Earth Altar of Jiujun Mountain before, but he did not 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 likely to trigger the mission of national destiny."

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 lightly, for everyone knew that the emperor valued the young imperial teacher and they were afraid of accidentally saying something offensive.

The emperor glanced at everyone again, his eyes fell on Marquis Cheng who was still trying to hide behind him, and said, "Marquis Cheng, 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 hid at the back, how come you saw me?!

Chengguo Hou knelt down quickly and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, who am I to give advice?"

The emperor said slowly, "Well, if you think so, I remember that your two sons 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 not to laugh.

Cheng Guohou: ...

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

The title was the money bag of the Marquis of Chengguo. He took a deep breath and said with a stiff face: "Your Majesty, I... I will throw out a brick to attract jade. I, I... well, this is what I think! My... sons are just in time to participate in the princess's selection of a husband! That's right!"

Marquis Chengguo was still hesitant before, but suddenly he slapped his thigh and said, "This month we have to choose a husband for the second princess. The young talents are all from officials and noble families of Daxia. If we can let the little imperial teacher participate in the second princess's selection of a husband, 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 someone's marriage?" Several court officials whose sons were also going to participate in the selection of a son-in-law could no longer hold back and glared at him, "You, what do you mean! Don't think your son will be fine! You have two."

"What's wrong with me? Both of my sons are involved, some have good reputations and some have bad reputations. I am impartial!" Cheng Guohou looked at the other party as if he was being stabbed, "Or are you worried about your family being disturbed and afraid that the young imperial teacher will find out?! If that's the case, why don't you just 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 against a tyrant. Who would be willing to give up 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. You are not allowed to interfere."

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 mission for the young imperial teacher 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 sons-in-law all showed their interest, and some even whispered: "Chengguo Hou is right! This is for the greater good!"

The candidates who participated in the selection of the imperial consort were even more angry, and they said, "What kind of righteousness is this! It's just because the melon didn't fall on them!"

The two sides argued endlessly, and 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 absurd judgment.

emperor:……

Now the pressure is on the emperor.
