82 Fight for position
It seemed like a lot of things had changed overnight.
The news must not be leaked out, Xu Lian put down the sentence "I know", and did not dare to show it at all when she went out from Chongming Palace, but Chun Tao and the others served for a long time and saw her stiffness.
It's just missing, there is still a chance, and it's not yet a time of despair, she tries to comfort herself like this.
But the reality always makes people sigh, and then the secret guards are handed over to her one by one, all of them are traceless, there is no news, and the war has the meaning of tightening, and I don't know how Wu An supports it, what will happen if the army knows the news, if there is a mutiny, the situation will fall, and it will be difficult to save it.
There are so many things to worry about, but the worry about his safety has faded a little, Xu Lian is reluctant to support it, and the rumors about the Queen Mother are also endless, which is difficult to eliminate, and Xu Lian feels powerless and tired from time to time.
Several important ministers of Chongming Hall also often discussed her feelings, she didn't understand those things, and she didn't dare to pay attention to them, but she was just an observer, and every time she looked at the silent Shen Di, she felt a little strange in her heart.
I listened to it like this in a daze, and the more I listened, the more I felt that something was wrong.
"Niangniang forgives the sin, it has been ten days since today, the war is changing rapidly, Your Majesty's safety is related to the world, according to the minister's humble opinion, the country cannot be without a king for a day......"
Xu Lian didn't answer immediately, glanced at Shen Di, who was standing down like an old monk, before saying, "Now there is no definite news ahead, and the new monarch is in a hurry, just afraid of giving someone a handle." ”
"Lao Chen is also concerned about the society, if there is really accurate news, I am afraid that the situation is too passive."
There is some truth in this, if the body is found, it is not good for people's hearts to move, and if they are captured... It is urgent to set up a new monarch, Xu Lian is still a little hesitant: "The eldest prince is still young, and he is only afraid that the lord and the country will be suspicious." ”
"Niangniang is right, this matter is important, it is better to invite the respected people in the clan to come and discuss."
Xu Lian's eyelids jumped, the royal family withered, the number of clan relatives is not large, if you want to say that you are highly respected, this is not clear whether you are talking about King Su, and she gave birth to one, if you really want to establish a new monarch, you will also discuss it, Shen Dian still didn't say anything, Xu Lian didn't bother to look at him, she didn't refuse openly, and said a Tai Chi: "Let this palace think about this matter again." ”
The procrastination trick can't be supported for long, but she always has hope, if there is good news in the next few days, she doesn't have to stand in that position to think about all kinds of things that shouldn't be, her son is so young, without Emperor Xi He, she will definitely rely on the courtiers in the court affairs of her orphans and widows, how can she not know it then, she recognizes her own catties, and she can't beat those old foxes when the political struggle really starts.
It's a pity that the facts have once again verified the four words that backfired, for three whole days, waiting for only the news of the defeat and retreat in front, the battle line has retreated to Pingcheng in Neiguan, Pingcheng is the northern barrier, once lost, the front is very likely to be extremely defeated.
Xu Lian didn't have any excuse to delay any longer, and was directly invited to Chaoyi, and all the civil and military officials were there, this kind of formation Xu Lian really saw for the first time.
The son was originally held by Chun Tao, but when he arrived at the main hall, he was not like being held in the arms of his wife, and the eldest prince was arranged on a chair under the throne, and such a young child suddenly left the familiar embrace, where could he sit still, but he didn't cry, but looked at Xu Lian with blank eyes, and wanted to break Xu Lian's heart.
Xu Lianqiang resisted the urge to bring the child over, sat on the phoenix chair behind the beaded curtain, and signaled that the court meeting could begin.
As usual, the situation was as dangerous as a tired egg, Xu Lian listened quietly, and the topic gradually led to the matter of establishing a new monarch, and some people immediately said that the eldest son of the emperor was a descendant again, and it was the general trend to ascend to the throne.
At this time, I don't know what happened, the eldest prince stared at a pair of wet eyes, and suddenly cried out at the solemn crowd.
Xu Lian didn't speak, on such an occasion, Chun Tao didn't dare to move, the child was the most keen, Xu felt that the atmosphere was wrong, the child cried a few times and then was silent, but the tears couldn't be broken.
At this time, a voice sounded: "The prince is young, how can he be so heavy?" ”
Another voice echoed: "The lord Shaoguo is suspicious, at such a critical time, the eldest prince is only afraid that it is not a suitable choice." ”
Immediately there was a voice of opposition, nothing more than to explain the legitimacy of the emperor's eldest son's succession from the perspective of the elder, both sides insisted on their own words, listening to the momentum, as if the former was more powerful, except for these few voices, most of them stood with their hands down, as if standing motionless.
Xu Lian still didn't say anything, the scene was in a stalemate, and King Su suddenly said: "Why do you forget the disaster of the Lu family? ”
I was waiting for her here.
There was silence in the main hall, and Xu Lian finally spoke slowly: "Uncle Wang, does this mean the palace?" ”
"The minister doesn't dare, but the teacher of the past and the future, and the danger and chaos of the relatives are not alarmist."
Xu Lian was not very suitable for arguing with people on such an occasion, so she gave King Su a ladder along the wall and said: "Then according to Uncle Wang's view, who is the best choice?" ”
Emperor Xihe gave birth to this one son, and the others are nothing more than from the clan, if King Su dares to reveal his son's name from between his teeth, Sima Zhao's name will not be removed.
"The first emperor still has a son, and he is at the right age."
Xu Lian was shocked, wasn't he dead? When the Ning Pagoda caught fire, did he escape?
The opposition also spoke out at this time, discussing the two points that the second son of the first emperor was dead and that he was exiled to the Ning Pagoda because of his virtues. ”
At this time, Xu Lian didn't bother to sigh that the other party had already premeditated: "People who have a loss of virtue are not worthy of stepping on the Chongming Palace." ”
The height of the Chongming Hall was raised, and everyone echoed, and King Su sent another killer idea: "He has the will of the first emperor in his hand, and he must not see it." ”
The palace was shocked, Xu Lian never said anything in advance if there was a fake, what should be done, on such an occasion, the other party is also desperate, must make full plans, now Wu An is not there, and the guards of Gyeonggi do not know who is in their hands, such a situation should not force the palace, she is a queen and then loses his man's world It is also interesting, such a situation, I have to stabilize my mind and see the move.
After all, people still played, Ji Xin was followed by Jia Ren, and his clothes were still the same, as if one was still the son of a noble royal family, and the other was still a majestic imperial manager, although it was right to say that it was right to lose people on this occasion, Xu Lian still inexplicably had a feeling of wanting to laugh.
"The younger brother asks the imperial sister-in-law to say goodbye." Just pretending, not even bending her knees, Xu Lian pursed her lips and didn't scream, at this moment, she was like a wicked mother-in-law making things difficult for the bride, only missing the cup of tea.
"The sin slave has seen the queen mother."
"Needless to say, didn't it say that there was a holy decree of the first emperor? Take it out. ”
Xu Lian's reaction was obviously not in the routine, both of them were stunned, Ji Xinyuan reacted first and presented the bright yellow scroll to King Su, Xu Lian noticed that his clothes were very thick, especially the collar, which was untimely and heavy, as if he was covering something, Su Wang took it seriously, read it out in court, everyone held their breath, Xu Lian patiently waited for him to finish reading, "Uncle Wang is so anxious, how do you know the truth of this holy decree?" ”
King Su's face was solemn and unprecedented, and he selectively showed the holy decree to several ministers in turn, and several of them nodded frequently.
"True."
"The prince has transposed, such a thing, this holy decree is not intended to be presented to the palace?"
Several people looked at each other, and the bright yellow scroll was finally presented.
Xu Lian glanced at it twice, chose a "tear" from the middle to tear it apart, and regardless of everyone's panic, she threw the two pieces of broken cloth to the ground.
"Wearing a guilty body, he dares to falsely spread the name of the first emperor for this edict! Take down this person who is guilty of rebellion and heinous crimes. ”
As soon as the words fell, no one moved, Xu Lian didn't feel embarrassed, got up from behind the jade curtain and picked up her son, stood in front of everyone, and looked down at Ji Xinyuan from a high position, even though her body trembled because of the suppression of emotions, and the ridicule on her face was not less.
The situation after that was really as Xu Lian expected, out of nowhere, a column of guards came out of nowhere to surround the Chongming Palace, but they had never entered the temple on the periphery, and the faces of the ministers were full of surprise and remorse, knowing that there was such a thing today, and they should have called it sick.
Xu Lian gritted her teeth and glanced at Shen Di, seeing that he was still the same as if he didn't move like a mountain and didn't pretend to die, she had an idea in her heart, and she was so angry that the roots of her teeth were a little sour, and without saying a word, she hugged her son into her arms first.
Ji Xinyuan said respectfully and sincerely that he was willing to pass on the throne to the widow of the imperial brother after a hundred years, please rest assured that the imperial sister-in-law would not enter the temple if she violated the oath by the way.
Xu Lian pulled the corners of her mouth and gave him a look of indifference, what is this kind of oath, if you have the ability to say that if you disobey the eunuch, it is still somewhat credible.
King Duan praised the new emperor's high righteousness on the side, Xu Lian looked at it coldly, and suddenly smiled: "If the imperial uncle is willing to support my mother and son today, the regent in the coming day will not be the imperial uncle." ”
Ji Xin's face remained unchanged, aside from Xu Lian's counter-offer style of sowing discord from the vegetable market aunt, this temptation was a little tempting to Duanwang, Ji Xin was reduced to the throne, Duanwang Zuo was just a feudal lord, but holding the actual regent power was a different situation.
Duan Wang's heart was indeed loose for a minute or two, but the variables of the rebellion were too great, and then looked at Ji Xin's gloomy face, and was poured down by the scrutinizing gaze, Duan Wang was excited in his heart, sobered up, and thought about his handle in his hands, and the heart of fighting for power that had just been burned up, and it was half cold in an instant. 166 Reading Network
