Duchess Chengen said: "How can it not be controlled! As long as your lords raise objections when Your Majesty proposes to appoint Zhao Yao as the crown prince, there are many people, Your Majesty will always have to worry about it, and you can't just go your own way! ”

Seeing that the ladies were still a little hesitant, Duchess Chengen said again: "How do you know if you don't try it?" Anyway, if you don't try, the king of Linjiang County will come to power, and there will be no good fruit to eat; If you try, there is still a glimmer of life, if Your Majesty really listens to the words of your family and appoints someone else as the prince, then the glory and wealth of your family have arrived.

Duchess Chengen's words, even if they didn't move everyone, obviously touched some people, at least some of them were obviously excited.

From the dragon's work, it is very tempting, who doesn't want it?

Seeing that many people at the scene had already moved, Duchess Chengen felt that what she said was almost done, so she said: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen go back today to ask your lords' opinions, I want to hear the results tomorrow, don't blame me for being in a hurry, I really can't wait for this matter." I hope to hear the answer I want, of course, if I don't want to, it doesn't matter, I just can't leak today's conversation, otherwise, don't blame my Cheng'en Mansion for trouble with her in the future! ”

Duchess Chengen's words, it was both soft and hard, and everyone naturally responded in unison, saying that it would not be leaked.

So when everyone talked back and forth the next day, most of them came, only a few did not come, the reason why so many people obeyed the orders of the Cheng'en Mansion, because some of them were in order to follow the dragon's work, of course, there were also some people, they were afraid that they would not obey the arrangement of the Cheng'en Duchess, and they were afraid of being cleaned up by the Cheng'en Mansion, so they also agreed to act together, after all, if they opposed the establishment of the king of Linjiang County as the prince, even if they did not oppose success, it was still the king of Linjiang County who became the prince, but if they wanted to be the emperor, it would take at least ten years, right? After all, His Majesty is not too old today, and he can always last for more than ten years, that is to say, when he opposes the establishment of the king of Linjiang County as the prince, he will take revenge, at least ten years later, but if he does not obey the arrangement of the Duchess of Chengen, he will be cleaned up by the Duchess of Chengen now, one dies late and the other dies now, so some people weigh this truth, even if they don't want to do anything from the dragon's work, they also followed, this is the reason why most of the people who were invited by the Duchess of Chengen yesterday came.

Duchess Chengen looked at so many people, naturally happy in her heart, immediately raised her glass, and said: "There are so many adults who are willing to help, it seems that there is hope for this matter, I will replace the wine with tea, thank you ladies for passing the word, and also celebrate in advance for the merit we are about to get from the dragon." ”

The ladies smiled and said, "Rejoice and rejoice." ”

While drinking celebratory tea with everyone, she instructed her henchmen to write down the few families who didn't come today, and then snorted coldly, secretly saying that she didn't know how to lift, and she personally came forward to invite her, and dared not to help, to see how to clean them up in the future!

Then I thought again, it's a pity that the time is too tight, otherwise, she will contact the Ping Wangfu and let the Ping Wangfu use their connections to prevent Emperor Yonghe from establishing Zhao Yao as the crown prince, after all, the Ping Wang couple was so bad to Zhao Yao at the beginning, they must not expect Zhao Yao to be the prince than their house, so as not to be retaliated against in the future, but unfortunately their house knows the news, or the Empress Dowager Zheng told them, otherwise they don't know such confidential news at all, so at this time, the Ping Wangfu doesn't know the news, and wants to inform them, It's too late for them to act together - when they come back from their panic and discuss how to invite the connections of the palace to help, it will take at least a day or two, listening to the tone of the queen mother, it seems that it is too late, so Duchess Chengen has to give up regretfully.

Since everyone has made up their minds to help, two days later, Emperor Yonghe proposed the matter of establishing a prince at the court meeting, and then said that when the king of Linjiang County was established as the prince, there were a large number of middle-level officials in the court, and even a few high-level officials stood up to oppose - these high-level officials are the result of the activities of middle-level officials, since they want to do it, they naturally have to do it with all their might, after all, this matter is very dangerous, it is a matter of the future, how can you do it without using all your strength? Therefore, they thought that the energy of their group of middle-level officials alone was too small, so some of them had a way, so they pulled in a few high-level officials to oppose it together, lest a group of middle-level officials oppose it alone, and the matter is not done, which will not be good.

Emperor Yonghe saw that there were so many people in the court who raised objections, which was obviously instigated by someone, and his face suddenly became bad, but he didn't say anything on the spot, only said that he would consider it, but as soon as he got to the court, he went to the imperial study, found the commander of the secret guard, and asked him to check who these people were instigated to go against him.

Duchess Chengen found so many people to instigate, although she asked these people to keep secrets, but the so-called three people are not secrets, so many people know, how can this secret be kept, so the commander of the secret guard didn't use a day, and it didn't take long to find out who the source of this matter was.

"It was organized by the Duchess of Chengen, but the Duchess of Chengen had entered the palace before and looked for the Queen Mother, and from the news heard from the Queen Mother, it was the Queen Mother who ordered the Duchess of Chengen to do this." The commander of the dark guard is only responsible to the emperor, so he will not cover up for the Empress Dowager Zheng, and he will say whatever he finds.

And this news made Emperor Yonghe's face extremely ugly, and his dissatisfaction with Empress Dowager Zheng and the Chengen Mansion reached its peak at this moment due to various incidents.

Immediately went to the Empress Dowager Zheng and said: "This morning, when I went to the court, my son mentioned the matter of establishing the prince of Linjiang County as the prince, but several ministers objected, and after the investigation, these ministers turned out to be instigated by the Duchess Chengen and the queen mother, and the son wanted to ask the queen mother why this was." Queen Mother, don't you understand the truth that the harem can't interfere in politics? It is really a bit too much for you to instruct the Cheng'en Mansion to incite the ministers of the DPRK and China to oppose the establishment of Zhao Yao as the crown prince. The son now has no heirs, he is already very pitiful, and it is difficult to find a suitable heir to succeed, but the queen mother still obstructs him in every way, so she can't see her son well, do you want to make her son pitiful? ”

Emperor Yonghe really didn't know how his mother became like this, and couldn't help but look at Empress Dowager Zheng with some sadness.

Empress Dowager Zheng really didn't think about it before she instigated people to oppose it, and the emperor immediately found out, she originally thought that the emperor couldn't find out, she wanted to keep inciting those people and oppose until the emperor changed his mind, but the result was so fast, she opposed it that day, and found the person behind the scenes on the same day, and couldn't help complaining that Duchess Chengen was ineffective.

At this time, in the face of Emperor Yonghe's questioning, Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help but feel a little weak, after all, she knew that her son was satisfied with that Zhao Yao, and did not let the emperor make Zhao Yao the prince, purely for her own selfish interests, it stands to reason that she, as a mother, should take care of her son, and should not wronged her son for herself, but since she became the queen mother, her life has been too smooth, and she is no longer the character she could endure when she was a concubine.

At this time, after listening to the emperor's questioning, Empress Dowager Zheng said: "It was said that he was in conflict with the mourning family, and the mourning family didn't want the emperor to set him up, what's wrong?" ”

Emperor Yonghe was even more speechless, and said: "The son has repeatedly said that he will not interfere with the queen mother, and he also specially found a master to explain to the queen mother, why is the queen mother still so stubborn?" Didn't you mean to make a fuss? As the queen mother, not to mention taking the lead for the harem people, it is too much to make such a fuss. ”

In the face of the emperor's questioning, Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help it anymore, and it was hard to say that she didn't care who would explain, anyway, she just felt that Zhao Yao would clash with her, she just didn't want to play this kind of scoundrel words, after all, if you want to play a scoundrel, it will make her son unhappy, and then it is estimated that she will definitely not take care of her unreasonable requests, just like in the last rumor incident, she failed to say that the emperor stood on her mother's side regardless of the merits, so she had to say the real reason, and said: "The mourning family doesn't want to do this, but it's not your convulsions, Do you have to make that Zhao Yao the crown prince? The mourning family is good to say that they don't agree, so what can you do if you don't listen to me? But do you know that at that time when the rumors happened, Princess Linjiang had a feud with the mourning family, and this is to make Zhao Yao the prince, will there be a good life for the mourning family in the future? ”

Emperor Yonghe listened to his mother's words, and couldn't help but be speechless, and said: "The son still doesn't understand what the queen mother is worried about, the son is now prosperous in the spring and autumn, as long as the son is here, no matter who is appointed as the prince, you will not be bullied by the queen mother; And when the son is big and the crown prince ascends the throne, it is estimated that the queen mother has passed away early, so that the queen mother still doesn't have to worry about whether the new emperor will be good to you, so the queen mother is worried that the new emperor will not be good to you, and she doesn't want her son to make Zhao Yao the prince, and the son feels that the queen mother thinks a little too much. ”

However, Emperor Yonghe was afraid and didn't expect that the world was unpredictable, his mother had a long life, and he had a short life, so he would die within three years, so in a sense, Empress Dowager Zheng's worries were still right.

However, Empress Dowager Zheng naturally didn't know that her son would die earlier than her, and of course she wouldn't curse her son like this, so after listening to her son's words at this time, she said: "What do you know, once Zhao Yao becomes the prince, those who see the wind and rudder know that the future emperor is him, and Princess Linjiang will become the queen, and from the time he becomes the prince, in order to avoid being disliked by the new emperor in the future, he will not be as respectful to the mourning family as before, and even if the mourning family passes away, the mourning family will always have a mother's family, and the mourning family does not want to choose a person who is hostile to the mother's family, In the future, we will all leave, and the mourning family's family will be unlucky! ”

There is some truth in this, but what Emperor Yonghe thinks is:

It's just that it's not as respectful as before, what's this, can they still do anything to his mother, if they really dare, unless they don't want their heads.

As for the decline of the Zheng family after they leave...... To tell the truth, he has long been unaccustomed to the Zheng family's style, a good rich life, but all day long, making waves and forming gangs, if it weren't for his filial piety, he didn't care much about them in the face of the queen mother, otherwise he would have found trouble with them, so if the new emperor ascended the throne, he would have no opinion on finding trouble with them.

Of course, more importantly, he is very satisfied with Zhao Yao's conditions, and he doesn't want to continue to look for others, and there are always other things that he feels bad about this or that, and Zhao Yao is the most satisfied with him, so he naturally won't withdraw a suitable candidate he finally found because the Queen Mother is not satisfied - in the final analysis, the emperor is also selfish, and he doesn't want to wronged himself for the Queen Mother.

Emperor Yonghe and the Queen Mother had different ideas, so it was naturally impossible to unify their opinions.

So at that moment, Emperor Yonghe didn't want to fight with the Empress Dowager Zheng, so he only said: "The queen mother is too worried, it won't be like this." ”

This means that the opinions of the Empress Dowager Zheng are not considered, and Zhao Yao must be appointed as the crown prince.

Seeing Emperor Yonghe like this, Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help but collapse, beating her chest and crying: "How can the mourning family have such an unfilial son as you!" It was said that Zhao Yao was established as the crown prince, and there was no good life after mourning the family, you still insist like this, do you treat your biological mother like this? also said that filial piety governs the world, are you so filial to your mother? ”

Emperor Yonghe felt that his mother was purely a trick of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, and he couldn't help but be unhappy, he didn't like others to interfere with his decision, so he immediately lightly instructed the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids: "Take good care of the Queen Mother." ”

Then he left, no matter how loud the Empress Dowager Zheng's howl became, she didn't care.

Since Empress Dowager Zheng could not interfere with Emperor Yonghe's decision, the matter of appointing Zhao Yao as the crown prince was naturally decided - although there were still people in the court who opposed it, but because several heavyweights in the Shoufu and the Ministry of Shangshu did not oppose the emperor's resolution, Emperor Yonghe did not take the few opponents found by the Duchess of Chengen to heart, besides, these people obeyed the instructions of the Duke of Chengen, and he didn't treat these people for the crime of forming a party for personal gain, if he dared to oppose it strongly, see how he cleaned them up.

So the next day, Emperor Yonghe announced in the court that he had decided to succeed the king of Linjiang County as his heir and live in the East Palace.

Although the opponents found by the Cheng'en Mansion jumped out to oppose again, when Emperor Yonghe asked the chief eunuch around him to read out the charges of accepting bribes, forming a party for personal gain, and exploiting profits, and arrested them, the others were stunned and quiet as chickens.

And when the holy decree arrived at the Linjiang Palace, Mu Hibiscus was honestly confused, for no other reason, because although Zhao Yao heard about it, he didn't tell Mu Hibiscus, after all, if it wasn't, it was just a matter of letting Mu Hibiscus worry about it, so Mu Hibiscus naturally didn't know about this situation.

And Emperor Yonghe considered that Zhao Yao was the grandson-in-law of the king of Changping County, and Emperor Yonghe was afraid that the news would leak in advance, so when he discussed the establishment of the prince before, Emperor Yonghe did not discuss it with the king of Changping County, so the king of Changping County did not know about this matter until yesterday morning, otherwise if the king of Changping County knew, he would have thought of telling his granddaughter secretly; Yesterday morning, Emperor Yonghe proposed to set up Zhao Yao as the crown prince, but because some people objected, Emperor Yonghe said that he would consider it, so after the king of Changping went back to discuss with the princess of Changping, he planned to send someone to talk to Mu Hibiscus about this matter today, but early this morning, Emperor Yonghe made an order, and they didn't need to say it.

So because it happened so suddenly, Hibiscus, who didn't know about it at all, was naturally confused.
