Chapter 320: The Great Meeting

The news that the identity of "Tuhuan Timur" was confirmed, and that night it flew like a bird to many houses in the capital, grabbing Tuhuan Timur's father and the world? One is the heart of an old minister; Although these people did not dare to openly express their support, almost all of them made waves in their hearts, and they began to look forward to the development of the next situation according to their imagination.

Early the next morning, hundreds of major officials who were ordered to attend the court meeting stood guard outside the palace gate early, and most of them wanted to see if the next emperor was Tumerlane; With the shouting of the ceremonial official, the ministers entered the hall in order, lined up on both sides, and stood full of Daming Palace.

"The prime minister has arrived!"

Boyan was the last of the ministers to enter the temple. He was so angry that he didn't want to come, but he knew that Tuhuan Timur had been confirmed by the empress dowager to inherit the throne, and it was useless for him to disagree, so he still came, because he felt that not coming would damage his prestige as prime minister.

Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that last night the queen mother promised to let Yan Tigusi be the crown prince in the bed, Tuhuan Timur is just a transition, or even just a substitute for the dead, whether it is a monk or a shaman, both the monk and the shaman think that this emperor is still a premature death, but the next emperor is incomparably long, and Boyan reluctantly agreed.

Of course, there are two reasons, one is the persuasion of his nephew Totoku and Totok's teacher Wu Zhifang, both of whom think that Boyan's failure to participate in this great court meeting will make Mingjiao, Nandian and King Song and other forces laugh, but it will not bring any benefit to Boyan himself, so he suggested that Boyan be patient for the time being.

Another reason is more important, it is a letter sent by Liu Bingzhong overnight, in which he really praised Boyan in the tone of Tuhuan Timur, saying that he has nothing to do, and the prime minister will have to preside over the overall situation of the government in the future, and he only hopes to heal his injuries in the palace; even promised to reward Boyan as the "King of Zhongshu", and to canonize the place of Zhongshu Province to Boyan, so that he would have enough strength to compete with the King of Song, and Boyan himself was pounding.

King Zhongshu, Zhongshu Province has always been the territory directly managed by the imperial court, especially at this time, Zhongshu Province is almost the only place directly managed by the imperial court, what is the difference between being the king of Zhongshu and being an emperor? He dreamed of being an emperor.

Yes, his son Yan Tigusi has become the crown prince, as long as Tuhuan Timur dies, he will be the emperor, but how can his son be the emperor as much as Lao Tzu is more happy to be the emperor?

So after reading this letter, Boyan didn't dare to let them read it again, for fear that his ambition would be spied on - of course, although many people already knew it, he still felt that it was better to hide it.

Therefore, on the surface, he went up to the court in a huff, and was surrounded by a large number of people and whispered relief, but in fact, he was happy in his heart.

"The Queen Mother has arrived! Prince Timur has arrived! ”

The ministers immediately silenced and looked towards the inside of the Daming Palace, the queen mother went straight to the dragon chair surrounded by a large group of eunuchs and palace maids, and the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who followed behind was sick, as if he had not recovered from a serious injury, and he couldn't catch up with the pace of the queen mother all the way, and hurriedly followed behind with a pale face.

The queen mother first glanced at Boyan, and did not look at the ministers, and secretly looked at Gong Qianbai, that is, "Tuhuan Timur", looking at his pale face, she was disgusted and worried, thinking that it was okay to announce the news that he would ascend the throne as emperor today, and he would be enthroned as emperor tomorrow; Don't delay the time, in case this kid dies early, and there is no one else to succeed the emperor at that time, wouldn't he have to have his own son? What if something happens again?

He clearly remembered that when his husband died half a year ago, the monks and shamans said that the next emperor would die young, and suggested that he must not let Yan Tigusi ascend the throne; Sure enough, the Yi Xuan class took over the baton, and it was over in a few months. She originally thought that her son should be able to succeed her, but when she asked Bu, who knew that the shaman said that the fate of the next emperor was unpredictable, and King Song, who had cultivated the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sutra, bluntly said that "the mandate of heaven cannot be violated", at that time she had already firmly believed that this emperor had to take out his son no matter what he said.

Crucially, the shamans say that the reign of the next emperor will be so long that no one can calculate it, and oh my God, this "incomparably long reign" will have to be won for his son anyway.

"Minions! I didn't try my best to support Tuhuan Timur, but don't be tired of him! ”

The queen mother scolded the eunuchs below, and the eunuchs were so panicked that they hurriedly stepped forward one by one and almost lifted Gong Qianbai up.

"Put it down! Put it down! ”

Gong Qianbai was carried to the dragon chair, and asked the eunuchs to put themselves down again and again, and then gave the queen mother a folded salute with a little difficulty:

"Thank you for your understanding! Tuhuan Timur has been cultivating in the Dayuan Temple for a long time, his heart is clear and indisputable, he is already half a monk, I heard that the Queen Mother also believes in the Buddha, I will thank you with Buddha rites! The Queen Mother took me from Luoyang, let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and have the grace of reinvention for me, and from now on, I wish only the Queen Mother's life is obeyed! ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him and felt very useful. The first is the Buddha ceremony, which represents the indisputable Timur of Tuhuan; The second is that Tuhuan Timur made a promise in front of so many people, and it will be easy to control it in the future.

OK! This kid is very knowledgeable, maybe he can let him live a few more years, and it will not be too late to send him back to the West when Yan Tigusi grows up!

Of course, there is another person who thinks like her, and that is Boyan.

What Boyan is most worried about is that Tuhuan Timur is not honest and secretly does something small, and now seeing that he is sick and can't live long, and he is so obedient, he is naturally relieved; Not only that, but he even hoped that Tuhuan Timur could live a few more years, so that he would have a few more years of power, otherwise once his son inherited the throne, he might be embarrassed to take it again, and the queen mother would not agree.

"Alright, alright! If you're not feeling well, you don't need to be polite! ”

The queen mother's attitude is not bad, at least she will not treat him maliciously; But he was still a little impatient, waved his hand to make him stand aside, and said to the ministers:

"Today's court meeting, there are two things in total, one is the funeral of the young emperor, we are very heartbroken to see the early death of the young man, Tuhuan Timur should have gone as his elder brother, but he was not feeling well, and he was afraid that he would be too sad and had an accident, and the palace was in charge, so there was no need to go!"

"The second thing is to put Tuhuan Timur on the throne! The first emperor's brothers have an appointment, uncles and nephews pass on the throne, Yi Xuan has died early, his brother Tuhuan Timur succeeds him, Yan Tigusi is the crown prince, do the ministers and Mongolian kings have any objections? ”
