Chapter 286

It is said that it is invited to rest, in fact, it is synonymous with discussing countermeasures, there are many people in the palace, Qing'an Palace is close to Qingning Palace, at this moment, I don't know if anyone will have other thoughts, go to Qingning Palace to ventilate and report the news, which arouses the suspicion of the Queen Mother. However, Xu Xun doesn't care about these now, the Queen Mother Hengzhi wants to be suspicious, and she has already been suspicious, and she will not wait for this discussion.

She and the King of Servants almost arrived on their feet, Xu Xun changed his clothes, and the King of Servants was waiting outside the curtain. Xu Xun instructed Han Nushi, "Prepare hot water, and immediately go to the south to get vegetarian clothes after opening the palace gate, and you can also change into vegetarian clothes." ”

This undoubtedly means that something very bad has happened, and the faces of the people around him turned white, but they are all old people in the palace, knowing that the situation is urgent, and they don't ask much, Mama Zhao personally opened the curtain and brought King Yu in.

"Prepare some snacks...... Xu Xunyu commanded, "I haven't eaten all night, and I have to go to the court tomorrow to ......."

"Mother." How could the king be in the mood to say this now, he seemed to be in a rare mess, and greeted him very urgently, then bit his lower lip and stopped talking.

The people around retreated very knowingly, and suddenly only the mother and son were left in the house, Xu Xun beckoned, "Sit." ”

He comforted him and said, "Even if it is a big thing, won't you survive it?" After all, you are still a little younger, more than ten years ago, when it came to the change of the throne, the turmoil was even worse than this. ”

At that time, the things were all for His Holiness now, and he usually wouldn't talk about it, and King Yu knew that it was just a surface, but Xu Xun's calm attitude also made him settle down a little, and he didn't panic so much without touching the ground - just now, after the words of King Yu were spoken, Xu Xun also saw it clearly, and King Yu was at a loss, and the calmness on his face was completely supported by his usual qi cultivation kung fu.

After all, he is young, and he is a vassal king, so he has never experienced anything. If it weren't for the twists and turns in his life since he was a child, he developed a temperament that can hide his thoughts, and now he doesn't know how to expose his emotions. Xu Xun understands in his heart that the characters of the two are extreme, the first emperor is stubborn, and the king is easy to be soft-hearted, only saying that neither of them is biological, and the relationship with the adoptive mother is very different. After the first emperor knew his life experience, no matter what he thought in his heart, but he never got close to the queen mother again, the king of the servant here, a little awkward, in the end the relationship was eased, and he treated the king of the servant, but it was far less than the queen mother to the first emperor like digging out his lungs, but now it is such a situation, although there are many other factors, but there are also differences in personality.

"So what the hell is going to do now?" Although the King of Servants was calmer, he still didn't have an idea, "Tomorrow's court meeting, if anyone mentions this matter again-"

"You can't say yes." Xu Xun said categorically, "You need to advocate for the emperor's eldest son to ascend the throne, but you can't steal the limelight too much...... Do you understand what I mean? ”

King Yu was confused again, "Huh? So what the hell is to do? ”

"According to common sense, at this time, it should be the eldest son of the emperor who ascends the throne, and you are in charge of the country." Xu Xun also knew that King Yu had no experience in political affairs, and he was not clear about many unspoken rules in officialdom. "But now that the soldiers are coming to the city, the Queen Mother is a woman who is not familiar with the military, and the veterans and the army are all lost in her arms. The situation is very bad, the court needs an emperor who can do things when he comes up, and ...... The next few years – at least five years – are preferably not too turbulent. If the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne and you come to supervise the country, in fact, the real power and military power will still be handed over to you...... Uncle Wang governs, how many people can really become kings like Duke Zhou? Not to mention that there is a high probability that the first emperor did not die-"

A shadow suddenly flashed across King Yu's face, "Then wouldn't I be even more unable to ascend the throne, otherwise, if my brother comes back, ......"

"What about him coming back? Will he be able to be emperor again when he comes back? Xu Xunyin said compassionately, "If he escapes into Huailai, then it's okay, Huailai has not reported in an emergency until now, it can be seen that if he is either hacked to death in the chaos, he is captured...... In any case, to the dynasty, he is dead. Asking you to advocate for the emperor's eldest son to ascend the throne is just to give you some fame, do you still think that you really want you to push the emperor's eldest son up and govern the country yourselfβ€”that's harming you, son. ”

King Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then Fang Cai nodded and said in a low voice, "I...... I see what my mother meant. ”

Now the king is only in his twenties, if the emperor's eldest son ascends the throne, more than ten years later, he is still in the prime of life, and has been in contact with the government for many years, even if the court has been smooth sailing without twists and turns over the years, after the handover of power, the king will definitely be under extremely close surveillance, and he will have to be careful for the rest of his life. If there is any wind and rain in the past ten years, such as the emperor's eldest son unfortunately died of smallpox, the reputation of the king must also be completely finished - if the second son of the emperor also dies unfortunately, will he ascend the throne or not? As long as he ascends the throne, the reputation of killing his two nephews will definitely be covered with ironclad, and there is no room for negotiation at all.

Of course, for the sake of the country, there may be a virtuous king who is willing to sacrifice his life, even if he has nothing in the future...... However, Xu Xun will not let her adopted son be killed by this so-called righteousness, as long as King Yu is her son, she will not accept the result of the emperor's eldest son ascending the throne and King Yu supervising the country.

However, it is precisely because of the intention of ascending the throne and succeeding to the throne that he has to do superficial work, Xu Xun repeatedly told King Yu, "When I asked, I said that there was the eldest son of the emperor, and that my brother might also be alive." Without waiting for the courtiers to say it, even if the elder brother is alive, he will not be able to ascend the throne again, and he can only say that he is the emperor, and he must not agree to it. ”

Now that he has understood what Xu Xun meant, King Yu understands her instructions very thoroughly, and he said, "But-but-but-the Queen Mother-"

When Xu Xun was about to speak, there was a sudden soft applause from outside the house, and she frowned, "Come in." ”

Han Nushi hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, someone sent news just now, saying that Qingning Palace sent someone to the Seal Ribbon Prison!" ”

At this time, the sky was slightly dark, the palace gate had already opened, and the person who went to Nannei to get the Su clothes of the King of Yu should have also set off, Xu Xun raised his eyebrows, "Even inquired about this?" ”

"After all, it's the heart of the king......" Han Nushi also said softly.

Someone from Qingning Palace went out to the twenty-four yamen, which is very easy to inquire, as long as you see the direction of that direction, you can guess how much. But when it comes to going to the Seal Ribbon Prison, how can you find out about this unless someone in Qingning Palace secretly communicates with you? As long as this sentence is spoken, the Queen Mother's mind is actually very clear, and the sooner King Yu knows here, he can make some preparations earlier. It seems that there are a lot of capable people in the palace, how long has it been, not to mention the situation, and it has already judged the general trend in the palace, which side it is towards......

"She's thinking too simply." Xu Xun shook his head, "Don't worry about this matter, put it aside first." ”

After Han Nushi withdrew, she continued to tell King Yu, "I can't go with the court when I go to the court, and if you are asked at the court, you will maintain this position, so that even if there is any reversal in the situation, you can take the initiative...... I suspect that there will be no outcome in this matter, but there will definitely be a compromise in two or three days. Now that the soldiers are in the city, no one in the court can force the crisis of the young emperor's accession to the throne, and King Lixiang is even more like a dream, and in the end he will definitely come to set you up...... When the ministers agree, don't let go, and be sure to ask one thing, what should your brother's two sons do! ”

King Yu was startled, "Mother means-"

"It's not for you to discuss with your courtiers about cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots." Xu Xun saw that his face was pale, and he was also angry and funny, "You are also a person with a son, Zhuang'er, the throne has been passed on to you, and it has already changed the lineage, don't you find out the attribution of the name before you ascend the throne, and give the princes of your two nephews, do you still let them settle in the palace in the name of the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's second son?" ”

After all, King Yu is still a little younger, and he is panicked today, and his performance is a big failure, and when Xu Xun explains, he suddenly realizes, and he should be, "I understand, I understand." ”

The mother and son had a face-to-face lesson, the sky was already bright, Xu Xun saw that the hour was almost up, so he called someone to serve a snack to the king of Yu, and brought hot water to let him freshen up, changed into plain clothes, and asked him to go to Qingning Palace to welcome the queen mother to the court. Although according to the convention, the two palaces never participated in the court meeting, but at this time, things went wrong, and this practice obviously no longer worked.

As for herself, she will not do anything to follow the court at this time, her identity is wrong, the court can't speak, and it is easy to attract tongue, Xu Xun naturally won't be so stupid, just wait for news in the Qing'an Palace with peace of mind.

Today's court meeting is often almost completely unpredictable, and it is possible to go to the Wenhua Hall to continue the debate of the prince after the court meeting, Xu Xun doesn't know what the queen mother's mentality is at this time, but her reluctance to establish the king is still relatively obvious, I don't know if there will be any unexpected changes at the court meeting, and who will be able to gain power in the end. No one can clearly predict the outcome of such a thing, and Xu Xun can only say that based on the Queen Mother's personality and the current situation, the Queen Mother is relatively most likely to give in and agree to the establishment of King Yu in the end.

Unconsciously, half a day's work passed in a flash, and Han Nushi came in to report, "Just now in the palace, the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials asked King Li, and Lord Yu, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, also seconded the proposal, but there were also many people who objected, and King Yu also insisted on resigning, and Niangniang is now moving to the Wenhua Palace." ”

Not long after, someone came again, "The Queen Mother summoned Niangniang to Wenhua Hall to discuss matters." ”

Xu Xun was not hypocritical, he cleaned up and passed the Wenhua Palace, but he led the way to the waiter, and did not take her to the large room for deliberations, but first took her to the side room of the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting there with snacks, but she was eating absent-mindedly, and when she saw her coming, she threw away the spoon and said, "Sit down - don't salute." ”

Xu Xun bowed halfway, and the Queen Mother asked her to sit opposite her, and then said in a low voice, "Have you heard of it?" The six ministers all said that they wanted to establish a strong son. ”

The position of the six ministers in the imperial court is very important, and there is a saying of six phases. Its status is not comparable to other high-ranking officials, especially during the reign of the emperor, the cabinet was weak, and the six ministries were even stronger. The influence of his opinion on the Queen Mother is, of course, the greatest.

Xu Xun saw the appearance of the Queen Mother, as if she didn't know what she had seen yesterday, she raised her eyebrows, "What does the mother think?" ”

The Queen Mother's brows were tightly furrowed, "The question is, Zhuang'er is...... Crazy! ”

The incident happened suddenly, no one could think about it thoroughly, the queen mother was unwilling to establish the king of the servants, but what she was worried about was here, Xu Xun suddenly realized. "This ...... It also makes sense. ”

"It's just a young emperor, it seems that it won't be done." The Queen Mother frowned. "King Lixiang can't make it again, it's too far, wait for him to come, the daylilies are cold......"

She sighed again, "Besides, he is afraid and doesn't dare to come, now that the situation in the north has eroded like this, how can he dare to go north." ”

On that day, King Xiang didn't even dare to fight, so he wanted to go back to Changsha, which already showed his character, and now that he was the emperor's uncle, it was impossible for him to come back to the throne. The Queen Mother herself gave up this idea, and Xu Xun was also relieved, she said, "Then with Niangniang's intentions, what should I do about this matter?" ”

"If you don't set up a strong child, you can't think about it, but the bloodline of a strong child is not suitable for being an emperor." The Queen Mother asked Xu Xun consultatively, "It's better to take Zhuang'er as the emperor and the eldest brother as the prince, what do you think?" ”

While speaking, she glanced at Xu Xun, and when Xu Xun saw her expression, she already understood everything - why didn't the Queen Mother know? I'm afraid that she already knew about her taking King Yu to Qing'an Palace, and she was bargaining with her......

Her mind suddenly turned rapidly: What does the Queen Mother mean by doing this? Could it be that he is already suspicious of himself and the king in his heart?

"It's not something I can do." Xu Xun shook his head without thinking about it while thinking about it. "Niangniang should ask the minister and the king of the servant - has Niangniang asked?"

"Not yet." The Queen Mother didn't see any different colors, and followed Xu Xun's words, "I want to discuss with you first." ”

Over the years, the deeper the city has become, and Xu Xun can't see the Queen Mother's true thoughts, but she has already communicated with King Yu, and now she can only believe in his performance. She said, "After all, I am not the biological mother of Zhuang'er, and I can't do anything for him, and I don't know if it is in line with the etiquette and law to do this, so Niangniang should discuss it with the ministers." ”

As he spoke, he got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, "That's it, why do you want to be so pretentious at this time?" Come with me. ”

There was a slight sarcasm in her words, Xu Xun just didn't hear it, and he was no longer hypocritical, so he silently stepped aside and gave way to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother stood up and took a step, and suddenly her figure staggered, and she immediately fell forward.
