Tianfu capital at this time has been restless, after the first emperor was buried, the new emperor should be prepared to ascend the throne, but now the edict is lost, the new emperor is not yet determined, how to ascend the throne.

As a result, the entire court debated over who of the four princes who were crowned kings was the next heir.

Headed by Prime Minister Mu Cheng, he naturally supported King Situ of Qin.

With the Queen Mother as the respect, support the Nioh Situ Mi.

The two sides disputed, and the support for Rui Wang Situ Xi was the Hubu Shangshu faction headed by Princess Rui's mother's family at this time, and they did not dare to blatantly argue with the Queen Mother and Mu Cheng, and they were directly stopped by Rui Wang Situ Xi for the inheritance of the throne by King Situ Yu, Situ Xuan has always listened to Situ Xi, so he also said that he had no intention of taking the throne, but he himself supported Situ Yan.

There were endless arguments in the court, and the city defense army outside the court guarded the city gate inside the city, and the garrison of Bincheng, the fiefdom of Nioh outside the city gate, was tense, and war could start at any time. The people of the city were in perpetuation all day long, and the people were afflicted by the great army that attacked the city.

The edict was lost, the heir to the throne argued, and the queen mother also walked to the front of the curtain and said to the civil and military officials: "Since ancient times, the throne has been established, and now the benevolent king Situ Mi has a virtuous name, but he can be a heavy responsibility, and the mourning family has decreed that Situ Mi is the crown prince and inherits the unification." ”

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Mu Zhiyuan came out and said: "The Queen Mother's words are wrong, the loss of the edict does not mean that it will not appear, the successor written on it when the minister and His Majesty sealed the edict is His Royal Highness King Qin, Situ Jing, if the edict appears one day, will the ministers comply with the edict or the Empress Dowager's decree?" ”

"This ......" The ministers immediately began to discuss, at this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu came out and said: "Since ancient times, the holy decree has been respected, if there is no edict, you can follow the decree of the Queen Mother, but now there is an edict that has not been found but lost, and it is not appropriate to follow the decree of the Queen Mother at this time." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said so, and other ministers seconded the proposal, and began to argue again for a while, the Queen Mother sat on the dragon chair and glared at Mu Zhiyuan angrily, this man buried his life's happiness for his ambitions, and now he wants to cause her to be in a place of no return, once Situ Jing recognizes her ancestors and returns to her ancestors, then she will become a ** spurned by the whole world, if it causes chaos in the world, then she will become a sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people, so she can't let Situ Jing succeed to the throne anyway, even if it is not Situ Ji, it should be Situ Xi.

After the court meeting, the Queen Mother called Situ Mi to Yong'an Palace, took his hand and said cordially: "You are the eldest son of your father, and your birth was the happiest thing in the palace at that time." ”

Situ Jing slowly sat at the feet of the Queen Mother and said: "The grandson's unfilial piety can't make his father like it, so that his grandmother bothered, if he can ascend the throne one day, his grandson will definitely attribute the power of the harem to his grandmother." ”

"The mourning family is old, but I don't help you take care of the trivialities of the harem, you, let's find your mother or queen."

Situ Ji was happy to hear the word "queen", "Grandmother, rest assured, if her grandson ascends the throne, the queen's position will be Rui'er's." This Rui'er is Shu Rui'er, the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother's mother's family, and today's Princess Ren.

The Queen Mother patted the back of his hand with satisfaction, unable to hide her happiness, she was more inclined to Situ Xi than Situ Xi, because Situ Xi's princess was her own family.

And Princess Rui's maiden family doesn't seem to have stopped much, although there is no attack in the court today, but the way those people look at each other still can't escape her eyes.

After Mu Zhiyuan returned home, he was so angry that he smashed the study, he single-handedly put that woman on the throne of the queen mother, she was still not satisfied, and now she was actually working against herself, how did she think he was angry.

"A woman who doesn't know how to lift, the old man will make you look good."

Mu Huahan knocked on the door at this time and walked in, saw the mess in the place and said: "Father doesn't have to lose such a big temper, it's just a harem woman, how many waves can be stirred, the son has a proposal I don't know if it can relieve my father's worries." ”

Mu Huahan walked up to him and whispered a few words to him, Mu Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed when he listened, and when he finished speaking, Mu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "You should deal with her like this." ”

Situ Mi walked out of Yong'an Palace with his front foot, and Prime Minister Mu Cheng ordered the Praetorian Guards to block Yong'an Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

And he walked into Yong'an Palace, at this time the Queen Mother was annoyed by the closure of Yong'an Palace, and when she saw him come in, she pointed at his nose and scolded: "Mu Zhiyuan, you are a despicable villain, the mourning family has not been harmed enough by you, and now you actually want me to be ruined." ”

"Shu Yaming, don't be ignorant, without the old man, you are just a fishing boat singing a little song, you can have today's glory and status, and your relatives can have today's glory. What the old man can give you, you can naturally get it back, so you should be honest and do your duty, the old man doesn't understand, you have been very obedient for so many years, why did you suddenly change your personality today and want to go against the old man? ”

"Yes, you gave me all of this, including such a nice name. But my life and my reputation cannot be destroyed in your hands. It's Liu Tianwei, she came back and snatched my chrysanthemum hairpin, she has five chrysanthemum hairpins, she will become the uncrowned queen of this harem. ”

"Tianyi, what did you say? She's back? Mu Zhiyuan clenched the Queen Mother's arms excitedly, since the dry well collapsed, he has been worried about Liu Tianyuan's safety, he didn't expect her to be alive, it's good to be alive, Mu Zhiyuan finally laughed heartily, that smile made the Queen Mother unconsciously remember the first time she saw Mu Zhiyuan when she was young, but the handsome and dashing son brother had a bit of an unusual smile, and there was a scheming hidden in that smile, which made people shudder. Mu Zhiyuan will also smile unbridled at her, and that smile is not mixed with any emotions. Mu Zhiyuan will also smile as happily as he does now, but this smile only belongs to Liu Tianyuan.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother angrily broke free of Mu Zhiyuan's restraint and said: "Mu Zhiyuan, if you don't let the mourning family feel better, the mourning family won't make you comfortable, the chrysanthemum hairpin has been given to Liu Tianyu, just see how she comes back and deal with you, after all, you owe her a lot." ”

"Shut up, it's not your turn to talk about me and Tian Wei, the old man came here today to tell you to keep to yourself in the harem, don't try to meddle in the affairs of the reserve, otherwise the old man won't be able to spare you." After saying that, with a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers rushed in and began to rummage, making the Queen Mother anxious or angry.

Soon, a soldier came over with a brocade box, and the Queen Mother was in a hurry to grab it, but was pushed aside by Mu Zhiyuan. Mu Zhiyuan opened the brocade box, a queen mother jade seal lay in it peacefully, Mu Zhiyuan nodded, and the soldiers were ordered to go out.

Mu Zhiyuan squatted beside the Queen Mother without looking at her and said, "Fight with the old man, you are still far away." ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out, and in the distance, the Queen Mother could still hear him ordering loudly: "Block Yong'an Palace, not a single fly can enter or exit." ”

"Yes", the loud response shook the Queen Mother.

The next day, there was no queen mother in the court, which surprised everyone, especially King Situ Mi was faintly uneasy.

Mu Zhiyuan was proud, he was late, and the smile that couldn't be concealed when he entered the hall made everyone suddenly understand that he and the Queen Mother lost the game.

Situ Mi rolled his eyes, bit his lip, and made up his mind.

Mu Zhiyuan walked into the court with steady strides, and asked meaningfully: "Today is still discussing the candidates for the throne, what else do you have to say?" ”

At this time, the head of the household department came out and said: "The minister thinks that King Rui is virtuous and benevolent, and he can be called a great benevolence. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Zhiyuan and Situ Xi both frowned and looked at him, you must know that Mu Zhiyuan and the Queen Mother have always been fighting, and the focus of the dispute is also who is more suitable to inherit the throne between Situ Xia and Situ Jing, but no one has ever dared to mention anything else.

Now that the Queen Mother has fallen, Situ Xia has lost her backer, and seeing that Situ Jing can inherit the throne, there is always something to toss and turn things around.

Mu Zhiyuan, Situ Jing and Situ Xi didn't say anything, but only listened to a few people from the Hubu Shangshu talking about the goodness of His Royal Highness King Rui, and proposed that he inherit the unification. Situ Wei snickered on the side, without him, Situ Jing would not be able to inherit the throne safely.

The morning court soon dispersed.

In the Rui Palace, Situ Xi has not seen anyone in the past few days, and even Princess Rui can't come forward. Situ Xi didn't want to see her for the past few days, Princess Rui naturally knew his thoughts, but she couldn't persuade her mother's family, so she could only be in a dilemma.

It wasn't until Situ Jing and Situ Xuan's visit that Princess Rui had the opportunity to meet Situ Xi, and several people sat in the garden and talked.

"Third Emperor Brother, I heard from the imperial sister-in-law that you are in a bad mood these days, but for the sake of the words of the court's upper household department?" Situ Jing asked.

Situ Xi glanced at Princess Rui, who was faceless, got up and said, "I'll go and prepare some food for you, you talk first." ”

After speaking, he left without waiting for Situ Xi to speak, Situ Jing looked at the background where she secretly wiped her tears, sighed and said: "Why should the imperial brother be like this, the imperial sister-in-law did not intend to be against you, how can she be in charge of her mother's affairs, don't embarrass her, how can this person still be in front of you, can you still grasp her, you have to make trouble like me, you can't be comfortable." ”

Situ Xi listened to his words, but he just drank tea and didn't say anything, until the end, he put down the teacup and asked, "Is there any news from Yunqi?" ”

Situ Jing picked up the teacup and said, "The person has arrived in Shengjing, but there is no movement, I don't know what she is going to do." Now this situation is probably what she wants to see, to see us kill each other, and in the end she can sit back and reap the benefits. ”

Situ Yan said impatiently to Situ Jing at this time: "What do you say she is a woman tossing, when you die, won't her son inherit the throne." ”

Situ Xi and Situ Jing both glared at Situ Xuan, and Situ Xuan scratched his head stupidly, not knowing which sentence he said wrong.

Situ Jing sighed and said: "She doesn't trust me, she has never trusted me, she is always afraid that the three palaces and six courts will forget her after I succeed to the throne as emperor." ”

"Is it because she lacks trust in you, or because you have never really treated her, otherwise why can't you enter her heart and not get her trust." Situ Xi asked.

The so-called one word wakes up the person in the dream, why is it so difficult for him and Mu Yunqi to get together, even if they already have two children. Why did she never trust herself, even if he swore to her again and again she didn't want to listen. Why can't she get into her heart, or she hasn't used her heart.

Before the three of them could figure out what Mu Yunqi was going to do, the housekeeper outside hurriedly ran in to report: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good, King Ren's army is attacking the city." ”
