The atmosphere in the main hall of Cining Palace, the moment Sandezi ran out, became depressed, Wu Yue turned his face slightly, looked at the palace maids and eunuchs standing next to him, and saw that their faces became very unnatural, and some even retreated slightly, leaning against the wall, looking at their appearance, it seemed that once they found something wrong, they would follow the wall.

"I didn't expect that Emperor Shunzhi abandoned the country and guarded the green lantern at that time, and it would have such a big impact on the Aixin Jueluo royal family." At this moment, Wu Yue was also full of worries, silently in his heart, and looked sideways at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

But what Wu Yue didn't expect was that Xiaozhuang at this moment did not show any negative emotions on his face, and lightly picked up the teacup on the tea table next to him with both hands, lowered his head and sipped it lightly.

"You are quite relieved, is there anything among those courtiers who can't be harvested?" Wu Yue couldn't help but ripple in his heart. After all, in the current situation, in the face of the collapse of Mount Tai in front of him, and his face does not change, he has only seen it in books, but he never believes it. In his heart, those who can have such a realm must be prepared for an overwhelming absolute superiority.

"I want to see how this legendary first woman in the Qing Dynasty manipulates this unsupportable scene! I'm barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, it's a big deal to die again. Maybe you can travel back to modern times, and there is no need to be this tired emperor here! ”

At this moment, Wu Yue also relaxed, said secretly in his heart, turned sideways, picked up a piece of the pastry placed on the tea table next to him, and put it in his mouth. After all, it has been an hour since I got up, and I haven't eaten a drop of water.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang turned her face, looked at Wu Yue at the moment, smiled and lowered her head, raised her hand to wipe the pastry residue from his mouth, and touched his head dotingly.

A few minutes later, the palace door of the main hall of Cining Palace was slowly pushed open, and immediately after, an old man with a rickety figure and a scarlet crown on his official hat strode in with a cane. They were followed by about twenty court officials.

I saw that after they entered the main hall, they knelt on the ground, and the old man led by him stepped forward and came to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and his body trembled and knelt down.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang did not change in the slightest, looked at everyone with a smile, and after they greeted themselves, she beckoned the eunuchs beside her, and helped the old man led by her to give her a seat. The court officials bowed down and stood in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

"Suo Zhongtang, I heard the emperor say that you are unwell and have not been to the court for several months, why did you come to my Cining Palace today?" Xiaozhuang turned his face sideways, looked at the old man with a smile, and said.

"Queen Mother, the emperor has not been to the court for a month, and the old slave is very worried. So I took the liberty to come to Cining Palace and ask about the situation of the ancestor emperor. As the saying goes, a family cannot be left without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. , the emperor has abandoned the government like this, which is extremely unfavorable to my Qing Dynasty's just entry into the Central Plains. Therefore, I implore the ancestors to persuade the emperor to let him take the country and society as the priority and regain control of the dynasty. Sonny said, holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, and stood up tremblingly, about to bow down.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang nodded, beckoned to the father-in-law Shunxi next to her, and asked her to support Sony.

Suo Zhongtang said seriously, the emperor has been a little unwell these days, and he is recuperating in the back hall of Cining Palace, so he has not been able to go to court. However, the emperor has reviewed the chapters sent by the court, and the government will not be wasted. ”

Xiao Zhuang said, turned around, and looked at the palace maid standing next to him.

The palace maid nodded, took out a dark yellow scroll from the brown wooden box behind her and handed it to Xiaozhuang with both hands.

Xiaozhuang took it with one hand, and then handed it to Sony, and then said, "The emperor's physical condition has deteriorated and become worse in the past few days. The emperor discussed with the mourning family, worried that my Qing Dynasty would fall into a desperate situation because of his body, so last night, he drew up a candidate for the crown prince. ”

Sonny frowned, gently opened the scroll with both hands, and after a few seconds, his face became extremely complicated, and he froze in place, and it took four or five minutes to come back to his senses. Finally, he closed the scroll with both hands, bowed down and raised his hands above his head, and handed it to Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang beckoned to the eunuchs around him, took the scroll, and put it on his knees.

"Suo Zhongtang, what is your opinion?" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang stared at Sony with her eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"The succession to the throne, although it is a royal matter, involves the long-term prosperity of my Qing Dynasty, so the old slave thinks that it should be treated with caution." Sonny frowned and said in a deep voice.

"You old fox, I've been holding it for so long, I thought you would say something earth-shattering, but I didn't expect you to deal with it so tactfully. Sure enough, things are old and strange, and people are old and fine. Talk and do things, not a drop of water. ”

"Xiaozhuang did this, it is obvious that the heir to the throne is his own idea. The old fox responded in this way, acquiescing to her decision. ”

Wu Yue said silently in his heart, looked at Xiaozhuang sideways for a few seconds, and finally fixed his eyes on Sony's body.

At this moment, the corners of Sony's mouth couldn't help but cross a mysterious smile. This look only stayed on his face for a few seconds before disappearing. Xiaozhuang smiled, paused on Sony's body for a moment, and looked directly at the other court officials. But in such a short period of time, the change in expression between him and Xiaozhuang was successfully captured by Wu Yue.

"Could it be that this is a scene between him and Xiaozhuang for the courtiers?" Wu Yue's heart suddenly swelled with such emotions.

Standing behind Sony, a middle-aged man who was also dressed in a wide court dress, with a full beard and eyebrows like spikes, stood up at this time, stepped forward, stood up, bowed towards Xiaozhuang, and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor is sick, and in the current situation, he is still unable to support the government. Since the emperor has already drawn up an heir to the throne, then the crown prince should be succeeded to the throne as soon as possible to ensure the normal operation of our government. ”

And at this moment, another courtier stepped forward.

This person is more than 1.8 meters tall, polite, and a scholar. This person stepped forward slowly, bowed towards Xiaozhuang, and said in a deep voice, "Queen Mother, what Ao Shangshu said is reasonable. In order to ensure that I am in the Qing Dynasty, solid as gold, and prosperous for a long time, the slave implores, the queen mother can obey the will of heaven and the people, so that the prince can ascend the throne as soon as possible. ”

At this moment, Wu Yue sneered in his heart, "Lord Shunzhi hasn't died yet, so you are in such a hurry to let the prince ascend the throne?" With such clumsy acting, I don't even know what you guys think. Could it be that all the courtiers present are stupid? ”

Wu Yue raised his head and looked at the court officials present. I saw that one by one they didn't seem to notice anything wrong with it, but their faces were full of anxiety, and they shouted the words "Please ask the prince to ascend the throne", and bowed to Xiaozhuang.

Wu Yue was dumbfounded for a moment, and finally understood at this moment. Everything that happened in Cining Palace today, the director behind it is the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the leading actors, it should be the three in front of you.

"Don't you ask, who is the prince of the prince?" Wu Yue finally couldn't hold back and spoke in a low voice.

The courtiers present, together with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, looked at Wu Yue with their side faces.

"The third elder brother is really good at laughing, you have put on the Ming Emperor's costumes, and the position of the crown prince is of course you." Sonny chuckled and looked at Wu Yue, responded in a low voice, and then slowly knelt down with the support of Shunxi next to him, and bowed deeply to Wu Yue.

Seeing this, all the courtiers also bowed to Wu Yueqi.

"The servant has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose! The courtiers stood up and shouted.

"I'm dizzy, this prince is so decided?" Wu Yue suddenly felt a sadness in his heart, shook his head helplessly, and finally turned his face sideways and looked at Xiaozhuang next to him.
