On the day of Qin Yu's return to Beijing, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, headed by Prince Ying, the left and right ministers and others, invited the emperor to immediately choose a good day and an auspicious day to hold an enthronement ceremony.

Although Qin Yu is still in the period of filial piety, but now that the situation in Southern Qin is tense, he can be in a hurry.

Qin Yu took everyone's suggestion, and after some discussion with everyone, he chose an auspicious day to ascend the throne a month later.

After the matter was agreed, Qin Yu glanced at Zuo Xiang.

Zuo Xiang was shocked by Qin Yu's glance, and immediately figured out what he meant, Qin Yu glanced at him again, and then glanced in the direction of the harem, Zuo Xiang suddenly understood, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a queen." Although the emperor was in mourning, it was not appropriate to have a happy event, but now is an extraordinary period, and it is extremely necessary to stabilize the people's hearts. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were stunned.

Prince Ying was shocked, immediately stepped forward, shook his head and said, "What Prime Minister Zuo said is not right, how can he talk the same day after ascending the throne and establishing it?" ”

"Lord Wang, the prime minister has already said that the matter is in power. The emperor has now reached the age of big wedding, and it should be established together with the day of his accession to the throne, and the queen is determined. Zuo Xiangdao.

Prince Ying still shook his head, "The emperor's succession to the throne was sealed by the will of the emperor, as for the queen's candidate, how can he be so hasty?" This king thinks that the top priority is to first pacify the rebellion of the military situation in Mobei, and after Mobei is stabilized, Southern Qin will be stable, as long as the emperor ascends the throne, he can also stabilize the court situation. ”

"What the prince said is bad." Zuo Xiang shook his head, "The military situation in Mobei is urgent, and I thank Hou Ye for supporting him alone in Mobei, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived." At this time, it should be the time to boost the morale of the Mobei military camp. As for the sloppiness that the prince said, the minister felt that it was not sloppy. Miss Fanghua returned to Beijing with the emperor, and she was also seen in front of the emperor. Miss Fanghua saved more than 100,000 people in Lin'an City from dire straits, and the people admired her very much. The emperor likes Miss Fanghua, Miss Fanghua has excellent moral character, can be the mother of the country, and naturally can ascend the throne with the emperor. ”

Prince Ying choked.

The left minister struck while the iron was hot, looked at the right minister and the courtiers, and said with his own three-inch incorruptible tongue, "The left minister, listed as an adult, you say, is what the prime minister said reasonable?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone looked at each other, if it was a woman next to him, the emperor was happy, and the left minister strongly recommended it, and the ministers did not nod their heads to offend the emperor and offend the left minister, but now this woman is Xie Fanghua, no more than others, Xie Fanghua is the daughter-in-law of Prince Ying's mansion, and the wife of Zheng Xiaowangye's former Ming media, although it was abandoned by the emperor to the world, but Prince Ying's mansion and Zheng Xiaowangye may not really agree. All kinds of inside information, no one knows, it is difficult to make decisions.

Miss Fanghua returned to Beijing with the emperor, lived in the East Palace of the former prince, and then went to the imperial tomb with the emperor on the jade chariot. Wisdom is beyond the reach of ordinary women. If Nanqin has her as the mother of the country, stabilize the situation and prosper, it is just around the corner. Zuo Xiang said again.

The ministers glanced at each other, felt justified, and nodded one after another.

When the left minister saw that there was a play, he said to the right minister, "Right minister, you should quickly show an attitude, after the emperor ascends the throne, will it be beneficial to the court, the border, and the people?" ”

The right minister glanced at Qin Yu, and saw Qin Yu looking at him calmly, he secretly looked at Prince Ying again, only to see Prince Ying's helpless expression, he immediately weighed the pros and cons, and bowed his head, "Although what the prince said is not unreasonable, but what the left minister said is also reasonable." The matter ...... It needs to be carefully considered. ”

This remark can be described as a source of left and right.

Zuo Xiang suddenly rolled his eyes in anger, and pleaded again, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to make a decision as soon as possible." It's also good to prepare so that you won't be busy at that time. ”

Qin Yu didn't speak for a while.

The adults stood in turn, and after waiting for a while, someone came out and echoed the left minister.

There are one and two, and they will see the wind and rudder, knowing that Qin Yu is indeed fond of Xie Fanghua, otherwise he would not accompany him to ride the jade chariot, and after a short time, half of the courtiers seconded the proposal.

The other half of the courtiers took a wait-and-see attitude for the time being, after all, the power of Prince Ying's Mansion should not be underestimated, after all, the little prince Zheng is not in the capital now, if he comes back and learns about this, won't he overturn the capital?

After a while, Qin Yu waved his hand, "Today, all Aiqing are tired, and I am also tired, so I will prepare for the enthronement ceremony first, and as for the seal, we will discuss it tomorrow." The words fell, and he stood up, "Retreat." ”

"Congratulations to the emperor!" The ministers knelt on the ground to send them off.

Qin Yu came out of the council hall and walked towards his dormitory.

He had just walked a short distance, Ruyi hurriedly came, greeted Qin Yu, and knelt on the ground to salute, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother learned that you have finished discussing things, please go to Fengluan Palace." ”

Qin Yu nodded, and turned around towards Fengluan Palace.

In Fengluan Palace, the Queen Mother, who had been upgraded from the queen, was wearing plain clothes, her complexion was not very good, she looked weak and weak, leaning on the soft couch, and making a low coughing sound.

Qin Yu entered the inner hall and saluted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother waved her hand.

Qin Yu stepped forward, sat beside the Queen Mother, and looked at her with concern, "The Queen Mother is unwell?" Why is the complexion so bad? ”

"It's a cold, it's fine." The Queen Mother shook her head.

Ruyi said on the side, "Since the first emperor went to the immortals, the queen mother has come to guard the spirit for several days, and she has not rested well, and she has contracted the wind and cold, and she has invited the imperial doctor from the hospital to come and see her." ”

"Can the doctor from the Tai Hospital prescribe medicine?" Qin Yu asked.

"It's on." Ruyi said.

"Show me it." Qin Yu said.

Ruyi turned around and walked to the table, took out the prescription from the box, and handed it to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu glanced at it and said, "I'll take this prescription first, go and show it to Fanghua, she has excellent medical skills, after she sees it, I'll send it to the queen mother." ”

"The wind chill is a trivial matter, so you don't have to bother her. I heard that she was seriously injured because of the incident in Lin'an City, and her health has been not good. The Queen Mother said when she heard this.

Qin Yu nodded, "It's true that the injury is extremely serious, and it needs to be taken care of." But it's okay to read a prescription, and you can't do it. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she no longer argued, let him go, and changed her voice, "I heard that today's courtiers are discussing matters, so that you can ascend the throne within a month?" ”

Qin Yu bowed his head, "The country cannot be without a king for a day." ”

"After the left prime minister proposes to ascend the throne at the same time?" The Queen Mother asked again.

Hearing this, Qin Yu glanced at the Queen Mother and nodded, "What does the Queen Mother think?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled, "Zuo Xiang suggested that Miss Li Fanghua be the queen, and I also heard about it, and I originally wanted to go to the council hall to assist you, but you quickly dispersed the court." Since you have a heart for Miss Fanghua, if she is also interested, the queen mother will naturally not object. With what she can, she will be able to govern the harem in the future and the world. ”

Qin Yu smiled, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother sighed, "In the past, I devoted myself to you, hoping that one day your father and emperor would go and you would be able to ascend the throne smoothly." Now that you have successfully ascended the throne, Nanqin is a mess and has suffered you. ”

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry about it, although everything is chaotic now, it can still be dealt with, but it will take some time." Qin Yu said.

"I know my son's ability, so I can rest assured." The Queen Mother said, her voice changed, and she said worriedly, "It's just that Prince Ying's Mansion and Qin Zheng are there......"

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Now that Qin Zheng is not in the capital, if he returns to Beijing and sees Miss Fanghua living in the palace, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along." The Queen Mother said.

Qin Yu was silent.

The Queen Mother was silent when she saw him, and she didn't know what to say for a while, there are few people in the inner circle of the capital who don't know about the entanglement between Qin Zheng, Xie Fanghua, and Qin Yu, especially Qin Zheng is a person who will never stop if he catches the same.

After a while, Qin Yu suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, someone doesn't want him to return to Beijing more than me, and in the short term, he won't be able to return to the capital." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, "What person?" ”

"Fanghua." Qin Yu said.

The Queen Mother was even more strange, "why did she ......" she was puzzled.

Qin Yu stood up, "Since the queen mother is infected with the cold, she must give birth to a good life, don't think too much, now that my father is gone, Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen in the palace have been sent to the imperial tomb by me, and they should not come back." You will be blessed in the future. ”

"The third prince and the fifth prince are really not a big deal, two wastes, Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen are the two vines that the emperor climbed, and as soon as the emperor died, I didn't bother to pay attention to them. Women are embarrassed by women, women are nothing more than for men, men are dead, what are they embarrassed about. The Queen Mother waved her hand, "You go and get busy, but also take care of your body, I called you over, that is, I want to ask about the matter of the enthronement, if you are the queen of Miss Fanghua and need the queen mother, the queen mother can also help you make a decision." ”

"Thank you, the queen mother. If you need a queen mother, you will come to the queen mother. Qin Yu said.

The Queen Mother nodded.

Qin Yu came out of Fengluan Palace.

After Qin Yu left, the Queen Mother beckoned, Ruyi came to her side, and she whispered, "Why do I think something is wrong with the emperor." ”

"What's wrong?" Wishful thinking.

At the beginning, Xie Fanghua gave up accompanying the injured Qin Zheng and went out of the palace to treat Xie Yunlan. Xie Fanghua went to Luomeiju, and Qin Zheng shot her three arrows to show his desperation. Later, Xie Fanghua couldn't give up Qin Zheng, even if the injury was good, he still swore to marry him. The Queen Mother said, "We all know all of this." But now, you say, is the bitter love a cloud of smoke in the blink of an eye? She really doesn't have any feelings for Qin Zheng anymore? Abandon her and marry the emperor? ”

"It's probably what Little Prince Zheng did that completely broke Miss Fanghua's heart. A woman's heart can be like water, soft and affectionate, or it can be like a stone, hard as iron. Ruyi said, "What's more, our emperor is infatuated with Miss Fanghua, the first emperor wanted to get rid of the Xie family, but our emperor reused the Xie family, and earlier intentionally let go of the Xie family's long house, and kept Xie Linxi to give it to Miss Fanghua, and then gave the Mobei military power to the Marquis Xie, Miss Fanghua should be heated even if she is a stone heart." ”

"Makes sense, too." The Queen Mother nodded.

"Don't think about it, the emperor will let you rest for a long time, so you can rest for a good time. Since the first emperor's serious illness, you have become thinner and thinner, and the first emperor has lost a lot of weight these days. You must take care of your health, finally our emperor has ascended the throne, you have been looking forward to it for many years, and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Ruyi persuaded.

"yes, I don't care about it in the future. I can see that it's useless to manage too much. Over the years, I have been fighting for the throne for Yu'er, and gradually, I regard the throne as more important than the child itself. In Yu'er's heart, I have always felt that I am inferior to Prince Ying and Princess Ying. The Queen Mother sighed, "I am indeed inferior to her, no matter when, I am my son's first." In the future, I will make up for it well. As long as he wants to do anything, I support him. ”

Ruyi smiled and nodded, "The emperor also knows that it has not been easy for you all these years, and he is filial to you everywhere, not to mention in the future, he will be even more filial." ”

The Queen Mother also smiled.

After Qin Yu left the Fengluan Palace, he went straight to the dormitory where he lived and came to the side hall next to Xie Fanghua.

After seeing off Mrs. Yongkang Hou and Yan Lan, Xie Fanghua half lay on the chaise longue and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Seeing that Qin Yu was coming, Qin Yu waved his hand and asked in a low voice, "Where is your young lady?" ”

"Rest on the couch." The two of them also whispered.

Qin Yu nodded, opened the curtain by himself, and walked in.

Xie Fanghua heard Qin Yu's footsteps and knew that he had entered the house, but he didn't open his eyes and was still lying down.

Qin Yu sat down on the table by himself.

The waiter and the waiter ink quietly came in to pour tea for him.

After he drank a cup of tea, Xie Fanghua opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Why don't you go to bed to rest when you're tired?" Qin Yu asked.

Xie Fanghua shook his head, "I want to sleep when I lie on the bed, if it's still very early today, I sleep too much during the day, and I can't sleep at night." The words fell, looking at him, "The matter is settled?" ”

Qin Yu shook his head, "To ascend the throne, you have to choose an auspicious day." After a pause, he added, "The left minister suggested, after the enthronement Hitachi." ”

Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows.

"What do you think?" Qin Yu asked.

Xie Fanghua shook his head, "It's good." ”

Qin Yu smiled gently when he heard this, and took out the prescription from his sleeve, "The queen mother is infected with a cold, and the hospital has prescribed medicine, I am not very relieved, bring it over and let you help take a look." ”

Xie Fanghua got up slightly, leaned forward, stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it twice, and asked, "How is the Queen Mother?" ”

"The queen mother's complexion is extremely poor, a little pale, I look at her breath, a little vain and weak." Qin Yu said.

Xie Fanghua said, "She should have gone suddenly from the emperor, and her heart was on fire, and she felt wind and heat outside, and the cold and dampness entered her body." After a pause, he said, "The prescription prescribed by the doctor of the Tai Hospital is extremely cautious, and there is nothing wrong with it, after all, it is the queen mother's noble body, and she probably does not dare to use heavy medicine." Therefore, the dosage is quite lukewarm, and the effect of the medicine is naturally slow. ”

Qin Yu smiled and nodded, "Exactly." ”

"You hand me the pen, and I will add two herbs to her, and she will be cured in three days." Xie Fanghua said.

Qin Yu nodded, took the pen from the table, and handed it to her.

Xie Fanghua took the pen and added two flavors to the prescription, and handed the prescription and the pen back to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu put the prescription in his sleeve and asked, "Brother Yan Chen is back?" Where has he been all these days? ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, and did not hide it, "He went to the nearest hidden mountain." ”

Qin Yu raised his eyes and looked at her, "What's the gain?" ”

"The hidden mountain was picked by someone more than 20 days ago, and it has become a ruin, and the remaining people, I don't know how much, have gone to the empty building and moved the place. There is no trace to follow. Xie Fanghua said.

Qin Yu frowned and pondered, and after a while, he said, "More than twenty days ago, ......" paused, meaning unclear, "There is only one person up and down Nanqin." ”

Xie Fanghua stopped talking.

Qin Yu changed the topic again, "Tomorrow, it will be generally agreed, and after the court meeting, I will instruct the people from the Imperial Clothing Bureau to measure and make a back suit for you." ”

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"What kind of afterwear do you like?" Qin Yu asked again.

Xie Fanghua suddenly smiled, "Isn't the rear service regulated by Southern Qin?" Can I do whatever I want? ”

"Yes." Qin Yu nodded.

Xie Fanghua smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to be the target of the public, although now that group of people who are religious and Taoist have not come out to criticize me, it is because I still have something commendable about me, if it is too out of line, you will also be in trouble." ”

Qin Yu couldn't help but smile and rubbed his eyebrows, "You have a point." ”

Xie Fanghua waved his hand, "You go and get busy, if you're not busy, just go and rest." The enthronement ceremony is not a joke, it is estimated that it will be very tiring, and I haven't come up with a foolproof plan for the matter of Mobei yet, so I'll think about it again. ”

Qin Yu bowed his head and stood up, "You shouldn't be too tired, you should think less." ”

Xie Fanghua nodded.

Qin Yu left the room and did not go back to his dormitory, but went straight to the imperial study, and on the way, he ordered Xiao Quanzi to send the changed prescription to Fengluan Palace.

After the Queen Mother received the prescription, she kindly rewarded Xiaoquanzi and said to him, "You go on another hard trip, go and thank Miss Fanghua for me." said that after the mourning family was cold, he invited her to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. ”

"Yes." Xiaoquanzi answered.

After Xiaoquanzi left, the Queen Mother looked at the handwriting on the prescription, looked at it for a long time, and said to Ruyi, "Look at this handwriting, it is not inferior to the emperor's handwriting, and it is even faintly better." ”

Ruyi approached and said admiringly, "This kind of handwriting should have been practiced since childhood, and I don't know how much pen work it took." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "It's a pity that it's a daughter, if it's a man, I'm afraid this Nan Qin can't really tolerate the Xie family." ”

"The Queen Mother is thinking a lot again." Ruyi said in a timely manner.

The Queen Mother immediately smiled, handed the prescription to Ruyi, and Ruyi took it.

At night, Qin Yu was reviewing the folds in the imperial study, and Yan Chen quietly appeared in the imperial study and stood behind Qin Yu.
