The king of a country suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that the harem of the former dynasty will be turbulent again.

Therefore, Yu An, the former head of the imperial palace, who also knows this truth, don't look at him secretly serving Empress Chen, but he still has the ability to deal with emergencies.

Therefore, after Zhou Xianrui fainted, he immediately blocked the news, and only the people who served in front of the palace knew about it, and it was not leaked out at all.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Anbian sent someone to pass over the imperial doctor Ma who was trusted by Zhou Xianrui, and ordered someone to truthfully inform the Empress Dowager Chen of the situation, and indeed handled the matter in the first time, and was quite capable and thorough.

Therefore, although Zhou Xianrui's coma is a major event that shakes the country's foundation, five days later, the people who really know about it, except for the servants in front of the emperor, are only a few people such as Chen Houxiang.

In the past few days, Empress Chen not only personally sat in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, but also stopped all the ministers who came to pay attention to state affairs, as well as Shen Wenqing and other palace concubines who came to visit Zhou Xianrui on the grounds that he had a cold.

Even Zhou Xianyu once came, but because his relationship with Xiao Jinxuan was too close, now Empress Chen, even this adopted son, who has always been regarded as his own, is suspicious and cannot be trusted.

Not only did Zhou Xianyu be blocked out of the dormitory, but Empress Chen even took advantage of Zhou Xianrui's coma, and she actually began to take power for five days.

Several times I wanted to remove the power of Zhou Xian's Imperial Military Aircraft Department, but I was afraid that the other party would help Xiao Jinxuan in the future and do something unfavorable to Da Zhou in Beirong.

But Empress Dowager Chen is whimsical in the end, Zhou Xianyu holds the complete set of military aircraft, relying on the prestige and military exploits established in the past few years.

So Empress Chen mentioned it twice, but the Manchu generals didn't eat her at all, and threatened that except for Zhou Xianyu and the people of the Xiao family, whoever dared to sit in the position of the military aircraft would not obey the order and be unconvinced.

After all, Empress Chen is just a woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, where does she understand national affairs.

Therefore, in the end, instead of relinquishing the power of Zhou Xianyu, she made the millions of teachers of the Great Zhou Dynasty extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court.

There are even more bloody generals, and even privately said that they should not support Zhou Xianrui to ascend the throne, and threatened that as long as Zhou Xianyu raised his arms for a while, they would swear allegiance to the death.

In the face of dissatisfaction and doubts from the military camp, Empress Chen's way of dealing with it was to blindly suppress and ignore it, so in just a few days, there was even a riot.

In the end, in desperation, Empress Dowager Chen was reluctant to ask Zhou Xianyu to come forward to ease the situation, so she invited King Yongchang out.

And after the death of Emperor Ming and Zhou Xianrui's accession to the throne, he saw that the court was peaceful again, and he also felt that he should retreat, so he had not interfered in court politics for a long time.

You can wait until the king of Yongchang, who is in the palace every day, raising flowers and playing with birds.

When he got Empress Chen's secret message into the palace and knew that the Great Zhou Army was unstable, he was really scared.

But fortunately, King Yongchang is highly respected after all, and he has been assisting Emperor Ming in taking care of the court all his life.

Therefore, under his protection, Zhou Xianyu returned to the military plane, and the two joined forces to suppress the floating on the side of the military general's camp.

And now that five days have passed, knowing that Zhou Xianrui is not the king of Yongchang who is incurable, and seeing that this imperial nephew has not woken up yet, he can't help but get anxious.

Therefore, when he saw King Yongchang, who had entered the palace early in the morning to visit Zhou Xianrui, he immediately looked at Empress Chen, who was sitting in the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and then frowned and asked questioningly:

"I said the Queen Mother, this child is now the monarch of my Great Zhou Kingdom, and he has not shown up for five days in a row, I am afraid that he will never be able to hide it under the guise of recuperating from the wind and cold. And even if you are the queen mother, but after all, you are a person in the harem, this king is not talking about you, you should let the emperor go to supervise the affairs of the previous dynasty. After all, they are all your children, so why should you rest assured, Queen Mother. ”

Hearing this, because of Zhou Xianrui's coma in the past few days, Empress Chen, who was also worried about being haggard, shook his head without any hesitation and said:

"King Yongchang, you are the longest-ranking clan member of my royal family, so you should know even more that there are fewer fratricidal incidents in these dynasties because of the throne. The mourning family originally transferred Xianyu from the military plane and let the other party rest temporarily in the palace, not to prevent him from peeping on the throne. And you should have heard the rumors inside and outside the Beijing Division recently, saying that Xiao Jinxuan is definitely not from my Great Zhou, but the Beirong royal family. Because of this, if this matter is true, Xianyu is so infatuated with Xiao Jinxuan. If he is given great power, if Xianyu is bewitched, then my Great Zhou Dynasty will not be in danger. ”

Listening to Empress Chen's eloquent nonsense, King Yongchang was already very old, and he was immediately so angry that he was so angry that he fainted in this dormitory.

When King Yongchang finally breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but shake his head and say with a wry smile:

"Although the Queen Mother is not your own, this child was also grown up by you. Among the sons of my royal brother, the one who wants this king to say that the most unambitious for the power of the court is the emperor. After all, his mother was a victim of the imperial power back then, and the emperor actually had a kind of rejection of power. Otherwise, he would not have been in the military camp all the year round for so many years, and even this Jingshi would not have come back. ”

Seeing that Empress Chen heard this, he was about to open his mouth to refute, and after King Yongchang stretched out his hand and motioned to the other party to let him finish his words first, he continued to speak:

"As for the rumors about Jinxuan, although this king has also heard about it, and concludes that this news must come from the harem. As for whether you are the Queen Mother, this king will not talk nonsense without evidence, but you probably know better than anyone else in your own heart. And even if my goddaughter is from Beirong, she has been living in my Great Zhou for fifteen years, and at least until now, all this king has seen is what this child has sacrificed for our royal family and what he has done. As for those rumors that she was a fine work that Beirong had planted for many years, and that she entered the palace to bewitch the king's heart, this king heard it but categorically refused to believe it. Because I only believe what I see, and I will not be swayed by rumors. ”

Since inquiring about Ji Lingfeng's advice that day, Empress Chen did begin to secretly spread rumors about Xiao Jinxuan's life experience.

Now this kind of rhetoric has not only spread throughout the former dynasty and harem, but even the entire Jingshi is almost to the point where everyone knows it.

And I wanted to use this to talk about things, so that King Yongchang would lean towards Empress Chen on his side.

Seeing that this old prince not only had a vicious eye, he directly guessed that she was the one who spread rumors behind the scenes, and he was still willing to stand on Xiao Jinxuan's side.

This really made Empress Chen's heart weak, and at the same time, he secretly hated a mouthful of silver teeth that were almost not broken.

However, the king of Yongchang is highly respected, and he is an old clan member of the royal family, although the Chen family is the queen mother, but he does not dare to be presumptuous in front of the other party.

Especially when Zhou Xianrui was unconscious, Empress Dowager Chen had to rely on King Yongchang to help her control the overall situation, so in the end, she had to smile and say with an extremely embarrassed smile:

"King Yongchang can not be swayed by rumors, and the mourning family is a woman in the deep palace, and it is indeed impossible to compare with the prince in this regard. However, even if the mourning family retracts their prejudices and suspicions against your righteous daughter, you can also see the situation now. The imperial doctor said that the emperor was seriously damaged by his heart and lungs, and his condition had deteriorated recently, so he had a high fever and fell unconscious. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the mourning family is also worried that the government will be unstable if it drags on like this, so I have an idea, and I don't know if the prince supports it. ”

Zhou Xianrui's new emperor ascended the throne, and the throne was not stable. can have a good strategy to stabilize the dynasty, King Yongchang is naturally happy to see this, so he can't help but immediately ask what his idea is.

And I saw that Chen Hou suddenly sat up straight, and then tried his best to make himself look more graceful and calm.

Immediately after that, seeing that Empress Chen had not yet spoken, her hands were a little nervously clasped together, and then she tried her best to speak calmly, but she could not hide the tentative meaning and said:

"In fact, the mourning family wants to emulate the method of the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty when they were young and the queen mother supervised the government, and listened to the government during the period when Xianrui was unconscious. After all, the mourning family is also the queen mother of the Great Zhou, and it is more secure for the mourning family to be in charge than to show the imperial prison country. King Yongchang, you are a member of the royal family, as long as you agree to this matter, the mourning family believes that no one in the Manchu Dynasty will have any objections. ”

After Chen Hou said this for a while, King Yongchang finally realized what the other party meant.

And looking at the Empress Dowager Chen, the scorching light of desire for power flashed in her eyes.

King Yongchang has been in the government and the opposition all his life, and he still doesn't understand that what the other party wants is the highest imperial profit in this Great Zhou.

But after King Yongchang laughed at this, he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Xianrui, who was lying on the dragon couch not far away, and then frowned, and said extremely angrily:

"Chen, although you are the queen mother, it is true that you want to get involved in my Great Zhou Jiangshan is simply a dream. Emperor Xianrui's nephew is just in a coma and is by no means critically ill, and even if he really has an accident, many princes of the first emperor are still there, where is your turn to listen to the government. So you don't want to ask this king to help you in this matter, on the contrary, the queen mother, you'd better dispel this thought, otherwise the ring ruler in the king's hand is not an ornament. ”

Ignoring the appearance of Empress Chen being squeezed to the point that his face turned red, King Yongchang, who was really angry in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief and said reprimanded:

"The Queen Mother, you are just right to say that you are afraid of showing the throne. I am worried that the message about Jinxuan is true, and the other party will secretly contact Beirong, which is not good for my big Zhou. But according to what this king said, the Queen Mother, if you listen to the government, I am afraid that you will really cause trouble to the dynasty. Rather than having time to worry about others, it is better for Niangniang to introspect herself, and the province has gone the wrong way, and then she will be infamous for 10,000 years. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, King Yongchang, who didn't want to look at Queen Chen's face and didn't want to listen to any words from the other party. As soon as he gave up his hand, he left the Heart Cultivation Hall with an indignant face.

King Yongchang is known as the head of the vassal kings, and he is still the most relied on brother of Emperor Ming in the past, so Empress Chen was reprimanded by the other party, and he did not dare to show his anger and anger.

And when King Yongchang was completely gone, the door of the dormitory was closed.

After enduring Chen for a long time, he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground like a vent. His chest also rose and fell violently, obviously angry.

And at this moment, I saw that from behind the screen next to Zhou Xianrui's couch, Ji Lingfeng's figure suddenly jumped out.

His eyes, hidden behind the mask, exuded a cold color in front of the Empress Dowager Chen.
