When Quan Cong heard this, he looked at the speaker and immediately showed disgust.

Because the person who spoke was none other than Gu Tan and Gu Zimo.

In the case of Shouchun's military exploits, it was Gu Cheng, Zhang Xiu and others who took away all the military exploits.

Who is Gu Cheng?

He is Gu Tan's younger brother.

If Quan Cong was just at odds with Lu Xun, then he had a grudge against the Gu family.

It's just that in this situation, it's obviously not easy to have an attack.

Quan Cong could only snort and look away from Gu Tan.

The actions of Lu Xun and Quan Cong were opposite. He turned to look at Gu Tan with interest:

"What do you think Zimo has to say?"

Gu Tan quickly said humbly:

"I don't dare. I'll ask the general, but Tan is just giving me my humble opinion."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Since His Majesty ascended to the throne, there has never been a master of the harem, and the concubines have not had a female monarch, so there are inevitably some omissions in the harem."

Gu Tan just said this, Quan Cong's brows couldn't help but jump!

Do you dare to criticize the imperial harem?

Quan Cong looked at Lu Xun subconsciously.

Lu Xun had no intention of stopping him. Feeling Quan Cong's eyes looking over, he just hesitated for a moment and then said:

"It is easy to say: There is a husband and wife, and then there is a father and son. This is the beginning of a wife's relationship and the prosperity of her family. There is an emperor but no queen, and there is an imbalance of yin and yang. Therefore, the discussion of establishing a queen is not only a matter of your Majesty's family and country, but also a major event of the country."

Quan Cong was unable to refute this sentence.

After Lu Xun said this, he looked at Gu Tan again:

"It's just the master of the harem, how can it be related to this matter?"

Gu Tan did not answer immediately. He looked around first.

Fortunately, when people passing by saw the general discussing matters with the governor, they would wisely stay away.

"Tan once heard that in the harem, His Majesty called his favorite concubine his immortal companion without calling her by her name. He also used the method of cultivating Taoism to cultivate immortality with his beloved concubine."

"This can be said to be that the harem has no owner, so it is forbidden to cause chaos? I should advise your majesty to appoint a queen early and clear the harem so that those with ulterior motives cannot mislead your majesty."

"Outside, we will do our best to serve as loyal ministers and give more advice, so that we can put an end to His Majesty's actions of following Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han in his later years."

Although Gu Tan did not mention a word about sending troops overseas to foreign lands, the "actions of Emperor Qin and Han Wu in his later years" are enough to explain the problem.

As soon as Gu Tan said these words, everyone around Lu Xun changed their expressions.

It is no secret that Your Majesty likes to talk about gods.

Yu Zhongxiang (also known as Yu Fan), a famous scholar from Jiangdong, once refuted His Majesty's views on gods and was exiled to Jiaozhou. He was not even pardoned before his death.

It was precisely because of what happened to Yu Zhongxiang that everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it, or rather they did not dare to mention the subject of His Majesty's quest for immortality.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zimo would dare to say it in public today.

Is he really not afraid of becoming the second Yu Zhongxiang?

Lu Xun took a deep look at Gu Tan, then turned to Quan Cong:

"What do the Grand Governors think?"

At this time, Quan Cong felt a little regretful.

I thought it was bullshit!

Not even the princess dared to mention this topic in the palace, but you, Gu Zimo, are really not afraid of death!

Quan Cong finally looked at Gu Tan:

"Then Gu Shangshu thinks, among the ladies in the harem, who can be the empress?"

"I am the Crown Prince's mother, Mrs. Wang." Gu Tan said without hesitation, "Apart from Mrs. Wang, is there anyone with more status than her?"

Quan Cong stopped talking.

Of course he could guess who Gu Tan wanted to talk about.

He just asked casually, but in fact he was already thinking about how to back down.

Quan Cong admitted that if Da Wu wants to be canonized as queen now, Mrs. Wang is indeed the most suitable candidate.

And we can only establish Mrs. Wang.

Otherwise, what should the prince do?

Mrs. Wang is not one of those concubines without status, unlike the former prince's biological mother, who can be deprived of her status at will.

But don't forget, there is a princess in the house.

This princess has always been at odds with Mrs. Wang.

If Quan Cong really wants to support Mrs. Wang in taking the throne, wouldn't that be digging his own grave?

"The matter of establishing a queen is related to the foundation of the country and must be considered in the long term. How can it be discussed openly in public? It is so inappropriate!"

Then he raised his hands and saluted Lu Xun:

"Let Cong leave first."

After speaking, he left regardless of Lu Xun's attempts to stay.

Looking at Quan Cong's back, Gu Tan felt a little worried about his face, snorted and looked unhappy.

Lu Xun sighed:

"I thought that the Governor was alone and was a selfless person, but I didn't expect..."

He believed that he had no selfish motives when it came to Shouchun's military exploits.

Therefore, he used himself to save others, thinking that Quan Cong could put aside his past grudges and work together to contribute to the country.

Unexpectedly, Quan Cong was not even willing to give him this face.

"Come on, General, what should we do?"

Lu Xun looked at the Dragon Palace again, his eyes becoming firm:

"Quan Zihuang (also known as Quan Cong) dares to knock on the door alone. How can we and others be no better than him?"

As he spoke, he looked at the people around him:

"Do you dare to go with me?"

"I would like to accompany you, General!"

------------------

Naturally, Quan Cong didn't know what Lu Xun and others decided after he left.

After he returned to his house, he went straight to Princess Quan and told the story exactly.

When Princess Quan heard this, her expression suddenly changed, she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet:

"Gu Zimo! You dare to stir up trouble like this just because your great father is the prime minister! I really don't dare to kill you!"

She has been at odds with Mrs. Wang for a long time.

If one's own mother (i.e. Mrs. Bu) failed to become the queen during her lifetime, and her rival could eventually become the mother of a country, that would not only be an insult to her.

It will become a lingering shame and overwhelming hatred that cannot be eliminated for the whole princess's life.

Seeing this, Quan Cong quickly comforted him:

"Princess, don't be anxious. I see that Your Majesty is very determined in sending people to sea this time. The matter of establishing a queen is an important matter for the country."

"Even if Lu Boyan wants to persuade His Majesty on these two matters, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

"Having said that, Lu Boyan has a very high reputation in the government and the public." Princess Quan's eyes flashed with a gloomy light, "I heard that he was the one who persuaded your Majesty to make Sun He the crown prince."

"Who knows whether he will persuade His Majesty again this time?"

It's probably a good thing but a bad thing.

While Quan Cong and his wife were still discussing the matter, news like a bolt from the blue was sent to the mansion:

Your Majesty agreed to summon the general!
Chapter completed!
