389. Chapter 389 Not Everyone Can Marry a Princess
When the emperor's imperial decree was still halfway through, the eldest daughter of the Bai family died suddenly. This incident was reported back to Kyoto, which shocked the government and the public. It is common for such an emperor to die a few concubines, so how could he believe in the theory of fate and evil? Everyone thought that if the queen was appointed, these statements would be self-defeating. It got worse.
This worries the ministers of the court. The emperor is already in his twenties, and the children of ordinary men's age are already in their teens, but the emperor doesn't even have a single heir. Is it true that the abbot of the Huguo Temple criticized him? In that way, it is impossible for the emperor to have children and grandchildren because of the evil spirit in his life?
Murong Zhan had someone take back the imperial decree and gave the Bai family a generous reward. This matter can be regarded as suppressed, but the rumors that he had killed his wife still couldn't be suppressed.
"Your Majesty, this matter started because of the abbot of the Huguo Temple, and he should be punished to silence everyone." A minister came out and pointed out the source.
"If the abbot is punished, will it change the fate of my wife?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice, his handsome face is now gloomy, making people seem to be in a very bad mood.
Someone in the main hall immediately came out to question the abbot's words, thinking that it was nonsense to hit with evil spirits, and as for the sudden death of the daughter of the Bai family, it was just a coincidence.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say and I don't know whether to say it or not." Prime Minister Xu who had been silent all this time stood up and spoke.
Ever since Xu Huiru was demoted to concubine and Xu Ji was imprisoned in prison, Prime Minister Xu has been keeping a low profile in the court. At first he wanted to pretend to be sick so that he could not go to the early court, but the emperor said that if he couldn't come, he would replace him. It appeared alive and well again.
Mo Rongzhan looked at him indifferently, "Is there anything you can't say now? Let Xu Aiqing say it."
Prime Minister Xu said expressionlessly, "I thought this matter was caused by the abbot of the Huguo Temple, since he calculated the fate of the emperor's wife, with the abbot's cultivation, he might be able to choose a suitable queen for the emperor. "
"Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Xu's words are justified. Why don't you invite the abbot into the palace and ask him to list the characters suitable for the empress, and then choose the queen based on the characters." Tang Zhen stood up and added a word, but he smiled wryly in his heart. It's finally here.
Mo Rongzhan slightly raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little moved by their proposal.
Seeing this, the other ministers saluted one after another and said that if the queen is not selected, there will be no crown prince born. Without the crown prince, the royal family will definitely be ready to move, and the dynasty that has finally stabilized is afraid that it will be in turmoil again. What's more, if The emperor has heirs, and these courtiers can be regarded as reassuring.
"Then announce the abbot to enter the palace." A light flashed in Mo Rongzhan's eyes, and he ordered someone to invite the abbot of Huguo Temple to enter the palace.
Ford hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the abbot has already asked for an audience outside the palace gate this morning."
Murong Zhan snorted coldly, "This old fellow must have come to beg for mercy, let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fude responded, and the dust flicked, "The abbot of Xuanhuguo Temple entered the hall."
The voice spread out in bursts, and the abbot, who was meditating outside the palace gate, opened his eyes slightly, thinking that the little bastard of the emperor had finally let him into the palace.
It is not easy for the abbot of Huguo Temple to ask for an audience. He is an erratic master in the eyes of everyone. Except for the royal family, ordinary people can't see him at all. The court ministers respect this master, especially When I saw him appearing outside the main hall in cassock with his sleeves clean, I felt that the abbot was wearing a noble appearance, which made people feel inviolable.
"I have seen the emperor." The abbot put his hands together and saluted.
Murong Zhan sneered, "Abbot, did you come to the palace today to redeem your sins? Or do you want to tell me that I don't believe in fate?"
"Amitabha." The abbot recited a Buddhist saying, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have already persuaded you that the horoscope of an ordinary woman is too light, and it is impossible to resist the evil spirit of your hit..."
"Old monk, don't talk nonsense. According to what you say, the emperor can't appoint a queen?" A military officer stood up and cursed.
Mo Rongzhan signaled the man to stand back, and he looked at the abbot with cold eyes, "Abbot, if I don't make a queen, can I have an heir?"
"No." The abbot replied blankly.
This shocked everyone. They wanted to scold the abbot for talking nonsense, but they were also worried that the matter was true. Could it be that the emperor is really the lone star of the gods, who will not even have an heir in this life?
Prime Minister Xu stood up again at this time and asked, "Master, you only said that ordinary women are too light-hearted, so if you choose a woman with the same tough character, can you be a queen?"
"Head against head, isn't that more fierce than fierce?" The abbot shook his head and sighed.
Tang Zhen exclaimed, "Isn't this okay, and that's okay too, master, then tell me, who should the emperor appoint as queen?"
"This..." the abbot hesitated for a moment, "I did the horoscope for a person a few days ago. This woman is not only rich in blessings, but also born with precious life. Her horoscope is unspeakably precious. She will definitely be the mother of a country in the future. However, she The status is a bit inappropriate."
"The girl is already engaged?" Tang Zhen asked.
The abbot replied, "This woman is in the age of cardamom, and her fate is precious. I am afraid that the marriage will not be easy, so she should not be engaged yet."
"Is it too ugly?" the military officer asked again.
"I have never seen her before, but I heard that she is a rare beauty." The abbot said.
Tang Zhen asked again, "Could it be the daughter of a criminal?"
"No." The abbot shook his head and said.
Standing in the hall, Lu Shiming became more and more frightened when he heard it. Hearing the meaning of the abbot's words, he seemed to be talking about his daughter... Mrs. Pei had already told him the abbot's criticism of Yaoyao that day. He didn't take it to heart, he just thought about raising Yaoyao for a few more years, anyway, he could afford to raise his own daughter, but now it seems that things are not as simple as he thought.
Tang Zhen glanced at the emperor, and asked angrily, "Since that's the case, what else is there to worry about?"
The abbot sighed, "Because this woman is Her Royal Highness, the princess's fate is rare in a hundred years, and she will definitely become the mother of a country in the future. Only her horoscope can resist the emperor's fierce luck."
"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Liu stood up and cursed, "The princess is the emperor's younger sister, how can you allow you to talk nonsense here!"
"Although the princess is a princess, she is not the emperor's own younger sister." Prime Minister Xu said calmly.
Mo Rongzhan frowned, "I have already selected a son-in-law for the princess..."
"Your Majesty, not any ordinary man can marry a princess, I'm afraid the other party is not so lucky." The abbot said, this is the truth, Lu Yaoyao's horoscope is too strange, not everyone can marry her.
