The things written in the holy decree were not believed by the officials, but they were inevitably a little suspicious.

The ministers of the court, especially those old ministers, have witnessed the great change in the queen mother's attitude towards the emperor, and no one knows the reason for so many years, but a benevolent and kind queen, since the death of the first prince and the first emperor, has changed her temperament greatly, especially for the emperor, there is almost no mother-son relationship, and there must be a reason for this.

If the emperor really killed the former prince back then, whether it was national law or morality, it would be an unforgivable sin, and it would not be his turn to take the throne.

Today, the queen mother wants the emperor to take the throne, they just want to help the emperor can't help, otherwise it will be spread out and everyone will follow suit, won't the world be in chaos?

The hundred officials urgently needed the Queen Mother to give an explanation, and they didn't believe the words of Xingguo Gong.

Outside the main hall, after Mama Ji knocked on the door, she coughed, but there was no movement in the hall, it seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, and even the dispute that was faintly audible before was gone.

Afraid that he would shout too quietly, the people in the hall didn't hear it, and Mama Ji knocked on the door again and called the Queen Mother.

In the main hall, Qingyun stood aside, she looked at the Queen Mother's messy bun, and couldn't help scratching her forehead, the Queen Mother was like this, as if she was bullied by them, if the corners of her mouth were a little bruised, it would be more like she was beaten.

This is going to be seen by those maids and grandmothers outside the main hall, and I don't know what kind of gossip will come out.

Seeing that no one spoke, she couldn't help but speak up first, "The Council Hall must be in a mess, Qingyun asked Mama Ji and the others to come in, help the Queen Mother redress your makeup, and set up the Council Hall, right?" ”

The Queen Mother's face was pale, but her eyes were red, and the comparison between the two was a little terrifying.

Qingyun's head hurts, she must not go to see the hundred officials like this, otherwise what the Queen Mother says, she will be forced by her and the eldest princess.

The Queen Mother glanced at Qingyun and looked at the eldest princess again, with Xiyi in her eyes, hoping that the eldest princess could be like Qingyun and say a soft word to her, even if she looked at her.

The eldest princess knew that the queen mother was looking at her, she was on her side, how could the eldest princess who was angry have something good to say, she said, "Don't look at me, don't go to the council palace, who should I help when I go, how to choose, I won't influence you, but after making a choice, don't regret it." ”

The Queen Mother went to the Political Palace, which was nothing more than two choices.

One is to help the emperor, and the other is to help the king of Anjun.

Helped the king of Anjun, that is, to admit that what the holy decree said is true, the emperor must give the throne to the king of Anjun, a former emperor, but also for the new emperor who is about to succeed to kill his father, there will definitely be no good end, acquaintances, wrote the holy decree to announce their crimes to the world, and then went to Jiuquan to make amends to the first prince, so that people can admire him, if he is still alive, wandering in the streets, the eyes of the people looking at him are estimated to be able to make the emperor hit the wall.

Of course, it is impossible for King Anjun and Xingguo Gong to let the emperor live, and they can't escape a dead end.

But if he helps the emperor, then King Anjun will no longer have the possibility of inheriting the throne in his life, this is his only chance.

The first prince and King Ning were replaced, and he was still the concubine Ning and the Xingguo Gong, the queen mother knew that there was no time for a cup of tea, in all fairness, it was her, in such a short period of time, it is estimated that she could not accept it, after all, this matter is too serious, there is no psychological preparation in advance, especially at such a critical time, in the heart of the queen mother, it is estimated that she will suspect that she is the eldest princess, and the envoy of the Zhao court is deceiving her, so that she can help the emperor.

Qingyun regretted a little, she should have told the Queen Mother earlier, but who would have thought that the Xingguo Guild would directly force the emperor to take the throne, and also stole the Queen Mother's holy decree, in the name of the Queen Mother, he dared to love for so many years, he never put the Queen Mother in his eyes, it is estimated that in the eyes of Xingguo Gong and Concubine Ning, the biggest use of the Queen Mother is to help them persecute the emperor, and then if something happens, give them a shield.

Thinking of what she is doing now, it is a bit like attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, I don't know if the spear is powerful, or the shield is powerful.

Just thinking about it, I listened to the Queen Mother's instructions, "Let Mama Ji come in." ”

With that, she got up and went to the inner sanctum.

Qingyun went down the stairs upside down, opened the door of the hall, and asked Mama Ji to help the Queen Mother make up.

She and the eldest princess were waiting in the main hall, but they were not too anxious, since the council palace sent someone to invite the queen mother, and if they couldn't get an accurate answer, they wouldn't go to court.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Mama Ji helped the Queen Mother out of the inner hall.

The Queen Mother re-combed her makeup, her hair was combed in a messy manner, although her face was still pale, and her expression was a little haggard, but it was much better.

The Queen Mother glanced at Qingyun and then at the eldest princess, Qingyun smiled and blessed, but the eldest princess still didn't react.

However, the Queen Mother walked a few steps, and the eldest princess followed behind.

Yongning Palace is some distance from the Yizheng Palace.

Outside the palace, a step was prepared, and Mama Ji wanted to help the Queen Mother to sit and go, but the Queen Mother refused.

Qingyun knew that the Queen Mother wanted more time to think things through.

Mama Ji helped the Queen Mother to walk forward, Qingyun followed behind, and she couldn't see the Queen Mother's expression, but she could feel that the Queen Mother's footsteps were gradually getting faster.

However, when he was about to reach the council hall, he suddenly stopped.

Qingyun was puzzled, and the eldest princess frowned, and wanted to ask the queen mother, but when it came to her mouth, she swallowed it back.

Qingyun took a step forward, and saw the Queen Mother looking at the guards outside the council hall, her eyes were cold, she was angry, her hands were tight, poor Mama Ji was sinned, and she didn't dare to hum in pain.

Qingyun looked at it twice, and was about to ask the Queen Mother, but before she could speak, the Queen Mother left again.

The pace was faster than before, Qingyun raised her eyes and looked at the sky, and could only follow silently.

When they arrived at the council hall, the commander of the guards came to greet the queen mother.

The Queen Mother's face was cold, and her voice was even more warm without a trace of warmth, "Who asked you to surround the Council Palace?!" ”

The commander replied, "It's Grandpa Guo." ”

"Leave the mourners!" The Queen Mother's voice was cold and hard, and it was difficult to hide a trace of anger in her eyes.

She didn't expect that Xingguo Gong not only stole the holy decree, but he also let the forbidden army surround the council hall, which was forcing the palace!

The commander of the forbidden army was a little embarrassed, he glanced at the Queen Mother, and quickly lowered his head and said, "Queen Mother, the grandfather of the country has an order, unless he personally orders, the minister cannot leave half a step without authorization." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, "What Grandpa Guo ordered, you listen, if the mourning family orders, you have to treat it as a deaf ear, don't forget it, who promoted you!" ”

The surname of the commander of the forbidden army is also surnamed Chen, although he is not a branch, but he is also a lineage of the Xingguo Mansion.

The queen mother asked, and the commander of the forbidden army hurriedly replied, "The minister dare not forget, it was recommended by the grandfather of the country, and the minister promoted by the queen mother to the emperor, the words of the queen mother and the grandfather of the country, the ministers did not dare not listen, but the grandfather of the country ordered in front, he listened to the queen mother, and after a while entered the council hall, you asked the grandfather of the country to withdraw the order, and the minister immediately withdrew with the forbidden army." ”

The words of the commander of the forbidden army seem to be very sleek, but in fact he did not give the queen mother, since he knew that Xingguo Gong listened to the queen mother, why didn't he retreat directly, I don't know if he didn't put the queen mother in his eyes, people are remembering the queen mother's promotion grace, but people haven't forgotten that he was recommended by Xingguo Gong to the queen mother, without Xingguo Gong, will the queen mother know who he is?

She only said to the Queen Mother before that the Duke of Xingguo had different intentions, and she didn't listen to her as much as the Queen Mother thought.

Especially the eldest princess was next to her and laughed.

That voice, gentle and beautiful, could be heard in the ears of the Queen Mother, but it was sharper than any whip, embarrassing her.

As soon as she shook off her phoenix robe, she walked towards the gate of the council hall.

A little far away, I heard a male duck's voice shouting, "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”

When the Queen Mother entered the political hall, a bunch of ministers knelt down and greeted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said in a calm voice, "Get up." ”

The old prince did not kneel, he had that privilege, he looked at the queen mother and asked, "Queen Mother, what the holy decree says is ......." ”

Before the old prince could finish speaking, the queen mother raised her hand to interrupt him, turned to look at Xingguo Gong, and asked, "The forbidden army surrounded the council hall, what's going on, the mourning family just asked you to announce a holy decree, can you make a fuss like forcing the palace?!" ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, the eldest princess's face turned blue all of a sudden, and her eyes were red.

She was about to speak, but Qingyun raised her hand to hold the eldest princess's arm, shook her head at her, and told her not to speak.

The eldest princess held back, but her face was full of disappointment.

Qingyun is also very helpless, now this situation, only the Queen Mother can deal with it, the victory or defeat is all in the Queen Mother's thoughts, she doesn't believe it, Xingguo Gong has done it so far, everything has been done, and the Queen Mother will condone him.

The purpose of this is supposed to be to remove the Praetorian Guard.

Hearing the queen mother admit that he had read out the holy decree, Xingguo Gong's heart was a little relaxed, and when he saw the queen mother, Qingyun and the eldest princess followed, he was really a little worried, afraid that the queen mother would be bewitched by them, but it didn't seem to be.

With joy in his heart, Xingguo Gong said, "The matter of the emperor's Zen throne is too heavy, and the minister is worried that some people will not accept it, so he let the forbidden army surround the council hall to maintain the majesty of the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled when she heard this, maintaining her majesty?

Does the commander of the forbidden army take her words as a deaf ear, or does he maintain her majesty?

Do you trample it under your feet while maintaining it?!

The Queen Mother looked at Xingguo Gong, she tried to control the thought in her heart that she wanted to question, she slowly closed her eyes, and shouted, "Let the forbidden army withdraw!" ”

Xingguo Gong looked at the Queen Mother, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and his heart was very flustered, because the Queen Mother would rarely scold him like this, even if it was in a state of anger, he tried to tell himself not to think about it, but the forbidden army could not retreat, he said, "The Queen Mother, the forbidden army is guarding outside, and it does not hinder the political hall or anything, let's talk about the emperor's Zen throne first." ”

Zuo Xiang also echoed, "Yes, the holy decree written about twenty years ago, the first prince, is really shocking, the minister was really shocked, until now I can't believe it, twenty years ago, the first prince died violently, it was the queen mother who said it herself, and now it has become the emperor killed, the emperor has been on the throne for nearly 20 years, the queen mother's attitude towards the emperor, and she tried her best to support the king of Anjun, whether it is related to the death of the first prince, the minister led a hundred officials, and begged the queen mother to confide the truth. ”

Zuo Xiang took the lead in kneeling, and other ministers also knelt down, begging the Queen Mother to tell the truth about the sudden death of the former prince twenty years ago.

The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at the highest part of the hall.

On the dragon chair, the emperor is still sitting there, but his posture is no longer as heavy as before, he stepped on the dragon chair with one foot, and his sitting posture was extremely casual, it can be said that he did not have the slightest love for the dragon chair that everyone envied.

He never thought of being the emperor, this emperor has always been dispensable to him, seeing the queen mother looking at him, the emperor smiled, "Since the hundred officials want to know, the queen mother will tell them the truth, this matter is up to me, I am afraid that the world will not believe it." ”

After the Xingguo Gong read the holy decree, the emperor didn't say a word about the events of twenty years ago, he just sat there and quietly watched the officials quarrel.

The officials asked a lot, and the emperor was also a little impatient and tired, if he didn't try his best to endure it, he would have admitted it if he really wanted to, but unfortunately, the person he killed was not the emperor's dragon species, let alone his own eldest brother.

Once he confesses his guilt, it is equivalent to giving away the inheritance of his ancestors, and his relatives will be bitter and his enemies will be happy.

But the first prince and King Ning were replaced, and he couldn't say it, let alone say it from his mouth at this moment, in that way, not only would no one believe it, but it became that he was reluctant to take the throne and poured dirty water on the Duke of Xingguo and Concubine Ning, such an act, he despised it in his heart, how could he do it?

Therefore, the emperor didn't bother to explain, once he spoke, things would become more complicated, so he simply waited too late.

The emperor's attitude is casual, but the smile on his face is very familiar, the familiar Queen Mother's nose is sour, tears are in her eyes, and the smile is very similar to the emperor's youth, full of spirit, as if nothing can enter his eyes, and there is nothing difficult to stop him.

It's her, and she's forced to look like him.

The Queen Mother's eyes were blurred by tears of regret, but she endured it, because the hundred officials were still kneeling and begging her to tell her the truth from twenty years ago.

She turned around and looked at Xingguo Gong.

Xingguo Gong knelt on the ground and said with a relieved face, "The first prince has died in vain for twenty years, and today he can get the snow of his grievances, and he can also smile at Jiuquan." ”

The words are sonorous, calm and powerful, and there are some old tears.

If it was in the past, the Queen Mother would have been moved, and felt that the first prince she gave birth to was still dead for almost 20 years, and her impression was a little vague that the first prince kept in mind all the time, but today Qingyun told her about it, and then listened to this, she only felt ridicule and sarcasm, sarcastic of her stupidity, and was played around by others, playing between applause.

The Queen Mother's fists clenched, and then she released it again, she slowed her voice, full of grief and remorse, and choked up, "Twenty years ago, it's time to give an explanation. (To be continued.) )
