Chapter 992: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One hundred and fourteen)

As the ruler of a country, who would be happy to see that his court officials are not on the same page with him?

If the court officials each serve their own master, does he still have any dignity as an emperor?

He was just getting older, no longer young, but he wasn't dead. He just didn't want his sons to have a large number of followers. The country was his! No one was allowed to covet it!

The emperor looked at the large number of officials below. It was understandable that the Ye, Luo, and Tang families, who had close relations with the prince, would plead for mercy, but he had not noticed before that some ministers were still taking sides.

It is not good to have too many aristocratic families. The emperor's control is affected, and these ministers sometimes even want to control him!

It turned out that he was too gentle and hadn't seen blood for too long.

There were so many people kneeling that those who remained silent and stood stood out. Among them were Prime Minister Song, his disciples and friends, as well as some ministers who stood firmly in the emperor's camp.

The emperor looked at the heads of all officials and said, "It's time for Prime Minister Song to express his opinion."

Prime Minister Song was not among those kneeling, and despite the impassioned speeches of the princes and their supporters, he remained silent. His daughter wasn't in the harem, nor was she married to a prince, so why was he so eager to take sides? Was he worried his death wasn't coming soon enough?

Now that the Emperor had inquired, Prime Minister Song stood erect, calmly bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, the imperial decree has already been issued. How can it be revoked?"

"Prime Minister Song, you!"

The eldest prince glared angrily.

Just such a short sentence made the emperor laugh: "My dear minister, you are absolutely right! Let's adjourn the court! The matter has been decided, don't mention it again." After the court was adjourned, the ministers slowly stood up and left in twos and threes.

Prime Minister Song was calm and composed, but his steps were not slow. As soon as the court was dismissed, he was the first to walk out of the hall.

The other ministers were still immersed in what had just happened and walked slowly.

Wei Ying walked one step behind Prime Minister Song.

"Father-in-law, I think those princes and their in-laws may be resentful of you. You must be more careful in the future."

Song Xiangchao glanced back and wondered who he was calling father-in-law.

"I'm not afraid of them. Besides, you and Li'er are not married yet."

"Uncle Song, isn't it almost time? I need to get used to my current position in advance. Alas, this auspicious wedding date is still a little late. It would be better if we could get married at the beginning of this year."

Prime Minister Song was speechless. The auspicious date was chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, and he still had objections? And there were only nine months left.

"Wei Ying, it's daytime now, don't act rashly."

What are you daydreaming about?

Is his daughter eager to get married? She is only sixteen years old.

His daughter is still young, so she can stay a little longer.

Wei Ying's ears turned slightly red. He seemed a little unstable in front of his future father-in-law.

Prime Minister Song and the old Marquis of Wei have been friends for many years. Wei Ying used to treat Prime Minister Song as an elder and was more casual in their interactions.

"Hey, Uncle Song, don't be angry, I just can't wait."

Prime Minister Song was not angry. What was there for him to be angry about? Young people are just anxious, but there is no point in being anxious.

Thinking that Wei Ying had been too busy recently and hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, Prime Minister Song said:

"Let's go. After we finish our duty today, we will come to the Prime Minister's residence for dinner."

"Yes, thank you Uncle Song. I will prepare the gifts and visit you on time."

At the fork in the road, Wei Ying happily took his leave.

Prime Minister Song looked at Wei Ying's back. Well, he was tall and straight, not too thin, nor was he the type with a hunchback and broad shoulders. He had good looks and abilities, and most importantly, he had his daughter in his heart.

And Li'er also has feelings for Wei Ying.

This marriage will be a good one.

The situation in the court was chaotic and complicated. Prime Minister Song thought about his daughter and decided that it would be better for her not to marry into the royal family.

Fortunately, the emperor valued his nephew Wei Ying and did not vent his anger on him because he pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not want his daughter to marry into the royal family.

In the cold wind, Prime Minister Song looked at the rising sun. Although the sunlight was cold, Prime Minister Song felt quite satisfied thinking that he would have grandchildren next year and his daughter would have a good home.

In a few years, when his sons and daughters have established themselves, he will retire to his hometown and live a leisurely life. Prime Minister Song is in a leisurely mood, but the other princes, concubines, and ministers are not in such a good mood.
