In fact, speaking of which, this is also a fact that the dynasty will never be able to bypass, no matter how the emperor whitewashes the peace, he is usurping the throne and seizing the dynasty, who doesn't know it? is mainly literate and literate, and if you have read a few history books, you still can't see through his trick? Not to mention that the founding of the country has not even been completed for a hundred years, whether he is the concubine of Queen Gao or not, there are many people in Menqing. King Yu's question, everyone couldn't answer it, and no one wanted to argue with him about anything, but no one echoed it for a while, and the room fell into an embarrassing dead silence.

This kind of reaction is also in Xu Xun's expectation - now that King Yu ascended the throne as emperor, it is almost impossible to change, he is now a vassal king, and he is asserting his rights and interests as emperor, who dares to refute him? This is not an ordinary state affair, this is the foundation of the inheritance of the empire, and if you go against the emperor in this matter, even if you succeed for a while, King Yu will soon be the emperor, and he has a lot of time to clean you up slowly!

However, Xu Xun is more concerned about the performance of the Queen Mother, the King of Servants' question, although it is a great question, but it also forces the Queen Mother into a corner, if the Queen Mother is in good health, it will be fine, if this question asks the Queen Mother's stroke again, it is a bad thing, and the reputation of the King of Servants will always be overshadowed.

She glanced back at the Queen Mother a few times, and saw her staring at herself with wide eyes, her lips slightly open, as if she had questions, and she was also uncomfortable in her heart: those things that were life-and-death in the past are no longer so important after twenty or thirty years.

However, if the queen mother wants to protect the emperor's eldest son to ascend the throne, she may not have the kind of orthodox heir who should succeed to the throne. Xu Xun glanced at King Yu, and also had some understanding of the Queen Mother's worries in his heart.

I'm afraid that the Queen Mother is also suspicious of King Yu's ability and bloodline...... In fact, even Xu Xun himself can't pack a ticket, saying that the heir of King Yu will not inherit the madness of Xiao Wu Beauty. Even if Xiao Wu Meiren's madness is a stimulus in the future, as long as there is a meager possibility, it does put a shadow on King Yu.

As people get older, sooner or later they will figure out a truth: many times, left or right, front or back, neither of these two choices is flawless. Now this is exactly the case, even if there are so many hidden dangers on King Yu, since he has chosen him, he has to go to the end, and if he wants to seek perfection left and right, he will only lose balance left and right, and make the situation even more ugly. Xu Xun sighed secretly: there is no time to convince the Queen Mother now, let alone take the risk and put the choice in her hands.

Putting down the faint apology in her heart, she scolded King Yu, "Boy! How can you speak like that! It depends on why the ancestors are waiting for someone! ”

King Yu has been raised by her side for so much, he will not be frightened by a few words, he got up and pleaded guilty, "I am disrespectful, and the mother concubine is punished." ”

His performance today can be called a surprise to Xu Xun, and now he is playing well, so he continued, "The inheritance of the emperor's heir is originally a succession of father and son, not a brother and a brother, and this is a righteous person." The son is not talented, and he does not dare to act against human morality, so he still asks the Queen Mother to take back her fate, and the eldest son of the emperor will ascend the throne, and please ask the Queen Mother to supervise the country! ”

This is said very nicely, Xu Xun sneered, "Niangniang is not well, and it is okay on weekdays, but now the situation is critical, everything is cumbersome, how can Niangniang work?" I listen to you, but you don't even want to hold the post of superintendent? ”

"Niangniang, please Mingjian, the melon field and plum are down, and I have to guard against it. The eldest son of the emperor is young, I am afraid that there will be accidents, there is today's discussion, if I am in charge of the country, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid suspicion! The king insisted on his opinion, "If the soldiers come to the city, I will naturally drive forward for the king and fight bravely to the death." only supervises the country, but he does not dare to take office! ”

The mother and son sang the double reed to this point, and the message that should be revealed and conveyed is basically clear. Xu Xun sighed secretly in his heart, turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Niangniang, the vertical son is hateful, and it is not enough to conspire, I am afraid that this plan is not feasible, so it is better to establish the eldest son of the emperor and choose another virtuous king to supervise the country." ”

She doesn't want to force the Queen Mother anymore, but now that the Queen Mother is sane, she can only ask her first, wait for the Queen Mother to speak, and then communicate with the ministers - if the Queen Mother is not sick, it is fine, now there is really a feeling of bullying orphans and widows, even Xu Xun himself, he is also a little unbearable, but the big thing is important, how can he let it be unbearable for a while, and mess up the plan?

The Queen Mother looked at her almost in disbelief, she shook her head slowly, as if she didn't want to believe that Xu Xun was such a person, and raised her head hard to see King Yu, but King Yu's seat was already empty, and after he got up and saluted, his body was covered by the screen, but it was difficult to make eye contact with the Queen Mother.

"Good, good......" she muttered, "good......"

Although the voice is weak, the emotion is indistinguishable, and it is obvious that he is about to say something angry. Maybe he wants to scold King Yu in the main hall and tear up the love between his mother and son, which is also difficult to say.

Xu Xun just stared at the Queen Mother, waiting for her to speak, but he didn't stop her in the slightest.

Now it's the Queen Mother scolding, what's the use? The situation is like this, and the current King of Servants is doing his own business! If you don't want the country to be dumped, you can only accept his offer. The king has made his price clear and clear: either you don't need it, if you want to use him, you have to support it all, and if you are in danger, you will lose such a thing, and he will not accept it. If you don't want to, then it's okay, everyone scattered, he was the first to support the eldest son of the emperor to ascend the throne, see how you serve the little emperor in the swaddling clothes, lead these unsuccessful people in the court, and the tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, to meet the strong soldiers and horses hundreds of miles away, and just robbed the Warat people who have just robbed the heavy baggage of the Chinese army in the country!

The position that the king chose for himself was whether he could advance or retreat, and it was clear that if the minister ordained the eldest son of the emperor, in the future, he would not be able to take the throne by virtue of his refusal to ascend the throne and ask the eldest son of the emperor to succeed to the throne. If he wants to be selfish, he can ascend the throne at this time, and then kill the emperor's eldest son, and everyone will be clean. - He has nothing to worry about, he wins whatever he chooses. Even if the city is broken, he must be the first candidate to move south. The sin of losing the land did not fall on him.

But the ministers are different, they have to do things, choose the king of the servant, immediately there will be a long monarch, there is a backbone in the palace, even if he can't do anything, the so-called 'coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes', with his clear support, the courtiers can suppress the voice of the opposition and start doing things. If the eldest son of the emperor is canonized, it is justified, but what should I do next? Who's in charge? No one can convince the public! The Queen Mother is like this again, what else can it do? There are still concubines and queens in the palace, but the concubine is the mother of the king, and the queen's temperament is very weak......

The ministers have no choice, but it is against orthodoxy to support the lineage of the Emperor to completely replace the current lineage of the former emperor! The support for the elder is the law written into the blood of the people of the world, you say that now if the king of the servant is fierce and forces them to give in, it will be fine, and it can be inferred that the king of the servant is strong, find some excuses, but the king of the servant is clearly asking them to take the responsibility of supporting themselves - it is so fine that they don't even want to take the slightest trouble!

Once you come forward to support the decision of King Yu to subrogate, it is tantamount to giving up your reputation in Shilin: there is no doubt that no matter how unavoidable this decision is, and the current situation is so critical, as soon as the matter passes, there will be countless voices in the land that has been preserved by these ministers because of their full consideration, accusing them of confusing the program. The reputation of later historians is not good, and it is indispensable to praise and disparage.

The literati have a good name, such a big decision, no one can hesitate, besides, this is just a consideration. There is also the queen mother's intentions, the queen mother is clearly forced into a corner today, even if she agrees now, she may not be able to repeat the situation in the future, if the first emperor's lineage finally turns over again, then the people who now support the king of the emperor will not have any good fruit to eat......

In such a dead silence with a lot of heart, the Queen Mother's voice was particularly loud, "Good, good ......"

Everyone's expressions were all moving - in such a dead situation, the Queen Mother's statement may be another variable.

However, just after saying this, the figure behind the screen moved, as if a servant woman stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's laughter stopped abruptly.

After all, it was far away, and everyone couldn't hear it clearly, only Xu Xun turned his head and glanced at Mama Zhou, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly relaxed - she heard Mama Zhou's words.

"It's not your own, aren't you kind enough to him? The eldest son of the emperor is still so young, you still have to point to the king to send the old man to the end...... It's the eldest son of King Yu, isn't it your grandson? ”

Mama Zhou has been the queen mother's confidant for many years, and she can be said to be as close as a family member. - This is a comprehensive view of the situation from the position of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is now weak, her hopes of taking power have come to naught, and she also needs a harmonious family relationship to allow her to spend her old age in peace. Now he and the king of the servant are tearing their faces, in addition to being quick for a while, what are the benefits? Even if it is the future eldest son of the emperor, leaving room for a comeback, it is also the benefit of the eldest son of the emperor, what does it have to do with her queen mother?

It's not biological...... Could it be that the Queen Mother is not benevolent enough to the former emperor? Even if he was guilty of the crime, this sin has already been atoned for in the forgiveness and tolerance again and again, right? Now that he has given up the eldest son of the emperor, why should he feel guilty? People, always think for yourself!

- Mama Zhou's words can be regarded as figuring out the psychology of the Queen Mother...... Every word and sentence is about the heart knot of the Queen Mother. The so-called people are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, even if there is a mind towards orthodoxy in the heart, but how can this compare to the consideration of their own future? Mama Zhou is also old, people will not think that her evening scene is too rich, she also has to think about her old age! These words are enough to protect the wealth of her Zhou family for two generations.

It's just that at this moment, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother may not be able to take into account Mama Zhou's careful thoughts, she closed her eyes and let out a sigh of silence, Xu Xun caught a glimpse of a few drops of crystal, rolling down the wrinkled corners of her eyes.

She also sighed lowly, don't bear to look at it at first, she only heard the Queen Mother say, "King Yu is too stubborn, he does extraordinary things at extraordinary times, so why should he cling to any rules......"

She took a weak breath and muttered to herself, "Even if it's the Song Dynasty, isn't it also a brother and a brother...... The Empress Dowager Zhaoxian has clouds, the country has a long monarch, and the country is blessed...... What do you think? ”

Having said that, does the Queen Mother's meaning need to be more obvious?

Lord Shangshu Wang stepped forward and bowed and said, "Niangniang's words are reasonable, Emperor Wen is a Jianshu person on behalf of the Jianshu people, but the Jianshu people are perverse and corrupt the ancestral family business, this person is no longer worthy of being the emperor, and what qualifications are his descendants to inherit the throne?" Today, the loss of Tumubao, the country's elite is gone, and the situation in Hebei has been eroded. The sixteen states of Yanyun have been restored in less than a hundred years, and there is a risk of falling into the hands of the enemy? The fault of the first emperor is multiplied by the Jianshu people! Even if it is not dead, what face does it have? The minister asked the mother to announce to the world, set up the king as the emperor, and the eldest son of the king as the prince! ”

He paused, and then said, "As for the eldest son of the former emperor, it is already a great grace of heaven to be able to keep a prince!" ”

If you want to do it, you can do it! Since he is on the side of King Yu, of course, he must kill all the lineage of the former emperor, and he will say that he is guilty of the first emperor - the more people know about it, the more stable the throne of King Yu will be, and anyone can understand the truth here.

The interior of the house continued one after another, and echoing voices rang out, but not loudly.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Wang Qing's words are very much in line with my wishes...... Alas, this son has always been rebellious, I had a stroke in the past, how could it be Wang Zhen's fault, as early as that day, I felt bad in my heart, and after the pro-government, it was even more perverse, and I insulted Sven. Sure enough, today, it is really such a crazy and mediocre act, and it almost ruined the ancestral family business. King Yu is filial and respectful, and he will be able to revive the family business and cheer up the mountains and rivers...... Ride out the difficult times with us. ”

As soon as she spoke, the room suddenly fell silent, and they all listened to the Queen Mother's speech, but unexpectedly, the Queen Mother stabbed her backhand, and immediately deducted the two hats of 'unfilial piety' and 'no way' to the emperor. Even behind the screen, Xu Xun could feel the stunned feeling as if he had been punched in the stomach, which was emanating from the ministers.

"Niang Niang Shengming!" Lord Wang can only echo these words now, and the support from the Queen Mother really lifted his spirits, "His Royal Highness King Yu is smart and filial, and he will definitely live up to his mother's expectations!" ”

The echo is now louder, but the atmosphere is still a little cold, Xu Xun watched coldly, and suddenly said at this time, "However, if there are any objections from the Qing family, there is no need to hide it, you might as well say it at this moment." ”

If you have an opinion, say it now! Don't be vain and wronged now, go back and think about how to support orthodoxy and run for the eldest son of the emperor!

She reminded the ministers, who kept their attitude silent and low-key, and suddenly received a lot of vigilant and hostile eyes - this kind of thing, it is like drowning, people who are already in the water, they will not like to stand on the dry shore to watch the lively people, especially if everyone's identity is not bad, I have gone to the sea, you are still pretending to be high, what does this mean?

Either raise objections now, and then wait for King Yu to be degraded far away after he ascends the throne, or even usher in the disaster of breaking the family and destroying the clan - the bloody storm in the early years of Yongle, but it has not passed far. Either they are silent now, and after King Yu ascends the throne, they will be regarded as dissidents and attacked, and they will lose the goodwill of their colleagues in the palace at this time, and be ruined by these important ministers......

One after another in the hall, there was a reluctant echo, this echo came a little late, and then it must have been a setback for more than ten years, or even decades, but even so, it was better than the disaster of destroying the family and destroying the clan.

No one insisted on his own opinion for the eldest son of the former emperor, Jianshu people treated Fang Xiaoru as a national soldier, and Fang Xiaoru reported him with state affairs, of course, the first emperor was not without favor ministers, but they were all taken to Tumu Fort, and now there is no one who has a deep affection with him, but he just values the righteousness of Lun Chang more seriously. It's just that the officials have done it to this point, who doesn't know how to be flexible? It doesn't matter if you die, you end up with a filial piety and punishment of the ten clans, so what's the trouble?

Finally, the voices became unified and loud. "Ministers, please tell the world that the king will be the emperor, and the eldest son of the king will be the prince!"

The king was still humble behind the screen, but this was just a gesture, and no one would take it seriously. The Queen Mother also sat up with difficulty, and said words of consolation, ordering King Yu to take over the throne. Xu Xun closed his eyes and didn't look at anyone.

Finally got it.

She and the Emperor finally got what they wanted most: the minister's recognition of the legitimacy of the Emperor's succession.

This throne was not obtained by the king of the servants, but by the queen mother and the ministers, and the lineage was changed, not by conspiracy, but by public discussion. King Yu has won the throne, and no one can question it in the future.

In a trance, more than ten years ago, the ups and downs of the emperor's succession seemed to reappear in front of him, and the doubts and apprehensions at that time seemed to be still vivid: although the general trend would not be reversed because of her, after all, because of her slight changes, she also had to take responsibility for the throne of the bolt. If she can't afford to be the emperor, how can she be embarrassed?

Now, the worst outcome has appeared, but in Xu Xun's heart, in addition to the heaviness, there is an indescribable relief.

How can she be as good as she wants, but she wants to be worthy of her heart, at the moment of making a decision, no one knows what will happen in the future, she can only do her best.

The mistakes of the day, today is the same as trying to make up for it, the day can be held, today will fall, the mistakes of the day, finally get a certain amount of compensation, the first emperor and his son, will be lost to the throne again.
