Early next morning.

After Song Yunqian finished discussing all of the agenda, he said: "Guests, We have something to announce today."

His Highness and the officials were all at a loss. Hadn't the topic of the morning assembly been discussed? What else is there to announce?

The morning assembly usually gave the general outline and the main agenda in the morning assembly, and the three officials knew what the morning assembly was about one day ahead of schedule. Therefore, everyone was slightly surprised when the Emperor abruptly brought up the matter of announcing himself.

Of course, the chancellor who was constantly watching the situation in the palace could guess what was going on.

Situ Zhang Hui asked, "Your majesty, should we announce it or discuss it?"

"Announce!" Song Yunqian said with certainty.

Zhang Xianhui's daughter was currently in the Imperial Concubine Liang, and with two more children in the Empress Dowager Palace, and Wen Yi returning to the capital, Zhang Xianhui naturally knew what was going on, but they had not seen any movements of the emperor in the past few days, so they couldn't say much, but now, they suddenly announced that it would be announced, and it was most likely related to the twins.

Zhang Xianhui stepped forward. "Your majesty, if it's something important, why don't we discuss it first before announcing it?"

Seated on the Dragon Throne, Song Yunqian smiled lightly. His eyes turned slightly cold, "There is no need for discussion, this is my family's matter."

censors Liang Gui stepped forward, "The Emperor's matters are matters of the nation, there are no personal matters of the family."

Regarding Wen Yi bringing the twins back to the palace, they had already discussed it in private. First of all, regardless of whether Wen Yi was the noble concubine of the late emperor, saying that the twins were born outside and live in the mortal world, their bloodline was worthy of suspicion. Of course, the ministers they met in the Imperial study that day had insisted that the twins were very similar to the emperor, so it shouldn't be wrong.

However, if the Emperor can give birth, then these past few years he has deliberately neglected his imperial concubine. The Emperor can give birth, and there will definitely be another prince in the future. The identity of the twins is unknown, and the mother is the imperial concubine of the late emperor.

The censors could not tolerate such a disorderly manner from happening.

The iciness in Song Yunqian's eyes deepened a little. "Then do you think that our eating and drinking is all a matter of national importance?"

Liang Gui said: "The Emperor bears the responsibility of all the people of the world, so eating, drinking and spreading are naturally also important national affairs. If the Emperor does not eat well and sleeps well, he cannot do his best for the nation, so you should take it seriously."

Song Yunqian said coldly: "censors is so concerned about me, I am very happy, but we are the emperors of this world, and at the same time, we are also independent. We have our own private life, and the things that we wish to announce today …"

"Your majesty, this subject believes that no matter what is announced, we should discuss carefully before announcing it."

Song Yunqian was furious in his heart, it seemed like they had been prepared for a long time, and was determined not to let the twins write it down.

All these years that he had been dragged along by the noses of these so-called high ranking officials, Song Yunqian did not plan to endure it any longer. "Very well, I will discuss it with you, but all you need to do is to participate in the discussion to establish the position of crown prince."

The moment he said this, the entire hall went into an uproar.

Liang Gui didn't think that she would directly be promoted to the position of Crown Prince. He kneeled down and said, "Your majesty, this is a very important matter, please reconsider."

Song Yunqian brought our child back to the capital, we do not have to announce this matter to the court, but we do not need to respect your family and hope that your family will be happy for us. We have a son and a daughter, the prince is called Song Zhong Lou, the princess is called Song Jingmo, and the child's mother is Wen Yi.

When Song Yunqian said this, the people on court were happy but sad.

Over these years, they had always been worried that the emperor had no children and would cause chaos in the country. Now that the emperor had a son and a daughter, the situation had become more stable by half.

Using Liang Gui, Zhang Xianhui and the others as an example, they all had their daughters who were serving as concubines in the harem. The moment the emperor established his son, their daughter's situation in the harem would become even more grim.

Especially since the Princess of Southern Champion States was about to arrive and the two nations were going to be engaged, the Princess of Southern Champion States had to be conferred the position of imperial concubine no matter what.

In the past, no matter what, the Emperor would always discuss the matter with the ministers before deciding on it. But now that the Emperor had never mentioned it to anyone, he directly announced it in the morning court. In the morning court, he announced it in a completely different sense.

In addition, the Emperor acted alone, causing some of the ministers who thought that they were in control of the Emperor to panic.

They had no choice but to face one thing. The emperor was growing wings.

"This subject congratulates Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty!" This old official, Zhang Sikong, and the Marquis of Jing Guo walked out and kneeled down as they shouted out in joy.

The two of them naturally knew of this matter from the start, but they also thought that the emperor wouldn't announce it so quickly.

Liang Gui asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is the Wen Yi you're talking about the noble concubine of the late emperor?"

Song Yunqian said indifferently: "censors's ears aren't working, so I didn't hear what we said just now. Wen Yi, was I or my beloved woman in Ning an report, and was also the one that the Grand Empress Dowager had to bestow upon my wife when she was still alive? During the one or two years before late emperor's death, due to the consumption of the Pills, my mind went into a state of confusion, and I made many wrong decisions.

Liang Gui said, "Your Majesty, no one has seen the Great Empress Dowager's will before. It is only a verbal legend, how can I take it as true? Wen Yi is the noble concubine of the late emperor, but it is a foregone conclusion. Wen Yi's identity was also written into the late emperor's imperial concubine list, it cannot be changed. "

"This is just a sentence from me, can you change it?" Song Yunqian waved his hand, "Today's discussion is over. If censors feels like discussing the choice of the Crown Prince with us, I welcome you. Let's meet again, Imperial study."

Liang Gui was so scared that she knelt down, "Your majesty, think twice, the choice of Crown Prince is related to the future of Liang, she cannot be careless."

"I do not plan to be rash, unless my dear officials wish to confirm the candidate as soon as possible."

After saying that, he stood up and left in big strides.

Road Manager waved his horsetail whisk, "Withdraw!"

Liang Gui and Zhang Xianhui looked at each other, complex emotions filling their eyes.

When the official left, Road Manager said to the Minister of Rites: "Master Shang Shu, please hold on."

Li Mu, the Minister of Rites, turned to look at Road Manager and asked, "Eunuch, what's the matter?"

The Road Manager had a light smile on his face. "The emperor invites His Excellency to the Imperial study."

The Minister of Rites cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Seeing that, Liang Gui pulled Zhang Xianhui along and left the hall, "The Emperor summoned Li Mu, it seems you want to write the identity of the twins into your jade edict, and bestowed them a title."

"Lord Liang, we can't stop this from happening. The Emperor has really moved on." Zhang Xianhui sighed.

Liang Gui was slightly angered, "Then why is Wen Yi so shameless? She is the imperial concubine of the late emperor, yet, she had a secret relationship with the Emperor, and she even dared to return to the capital after giving birth to a pair of children.

Zhang Xianhui looked at the people around him and said in a low voice, "Lord, be quiet. She is the mother of all the princes and princesses."

"Bah!" Liang Gui frowned, "In short, I will not admit it."
