Chapter 529: The Empress Dowager Wants to Abolish the Emperor (7)
In the Zichen Palace, next to Emperor Wei's corpse.
After expressing his sadness, the minister of the central government, Xungui, began to discuss the question that the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and that Emperor Wei has not yet had a male born yet, so who should sit on the throne?
In any case, the death of the emperor has become a fact, and it has nothing to do with them whether it is investigated or thoroughly investigated.
Therefore, for these ministers and nobles.
The most important thing now is to determine the candidate for the next emperor, if they are lucky, and the person they recommend succeeds in becoming the emperor, then they will be reused from the dragon's skill.
"A nation cannot be left without an owner for a day."
"Your Majesty has no men, the new emperor can only choose from the royal family, and if you want to choose, you naturally have to choose Prince Li, who has a good reputation in the past and is known as a virtuous name."
"Prince Li's bloodline is too far away, the heirs of the first emperor have not died yet, and no matter how you choose, you can't pick the concubine of Emperor Zhongzong.
I'm afraid you're losing your mind. ”
"What do you mean by this, isn't it possible that you are still dissatisfied that the heirs of the first emperor did not die?"
"You are clever and take things out of context."
"I think you're trying to rebel!"
"If you want to choose, you should naturally choose the eldest son of King Qin, the eldest son of King Qin has always had a good reputation, that Prince Li is in his fifties this year, what are you doing here, please come and occupy a position in the imperial mausoleum?"
"The country depends on the monarch.
You still have to pick the older ones. ”
"Gotta pick the young ones.
The first emperor just died three years ago, and if it is converted to the people, he may not have been removed at this time.
Now that His Majesty has died suddenly, if you choose another old one, to put it mildly, it is not a good thing for the country to change emperors frequently.
Neighboring countries still think that our country is in chaos. ”
"What are you arguing about, our sect hasn't spoken yet, what's your business?"
"If you want to pick, the Queen Mother should pick it!"
"We are ministers of the DPRK and China, how can this matter have nothing to do with us, if the newly established emperor is not good, then it is not our fault."
……
When it comes to everyone's own interests and even future interests, it is impossible to make a simple decision, and soon the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and even the royal family and clan members quarreled.
In fact, it is mainly because Emperor Wei does not have any male at present, but if he has one, even if it is only a one-year-old or two-year-old son, then these ministers and nobles will not be so noisy.
Because as long as he has a son.
Even if his son is only one or two years old.
Then it is natural and natural for his son to ascend the throne, and it is a matter of course for the young emperor to ascend the throne for these ministers and nobles, although there may be a risk of the queen mother's regent, but their rights are also greater.
Maybe you can become a powerful minister or something.
However, Emperor Wei had no sons.
To be precise, he doesn't even have a daughter.
At present, there is only one noble person in the palace who is pregnant, and he has only been pregnant for two months, I don't know if it is a man or a woman, and I don't even know if I can give birth.
Therefore, the new emperor can only choose from other royal relatives, which undoubtedly gives all the ministers and nobles room to play, some want to choose the virtuous, some want to choose the blood close, and some want to choose the prince who has a marriage with their own family.
In short, everyone has different ideas and different thoughts.
Except for a few who do think about the country.
Most of the remaining selection criteria.
It's all about choosing the one that's good for them.
The queen Wen Renlian sat on the side and listened to their quarrel, listening without saying a word, because she knew that she had no right to speak, even if she wanted to make suggestions on this matter, it would have to be mentioned through her father, if she mentioned it, if she had the same idea as the Queen Mother, it would be fine, if the ideas were inconsistent, it would be equivalent to not mentioning it, because she could not go against the Queen Mother's will.
Therefore, naturally too lazy to speak.
When the queen mother wakes up, there will naturally be the queen mother arguing with these ministers and nobles of the court, anyway, no matter what, she, the queen mother of the middle palace, will not be able to run, and her future fate can almost be seen to the end, so why argue with them.
Qiao Mu didn't interject on the side.
Now, she has almost no power in her hands, unless she immediately gives herself a vision of heaven and earth descending from the golden phoenix, no matter what she says now, it is not of much use, besides, she doesn't know much about the royal family, so why highlight herself in this matter.
Just when the ministers were arguing endlessly, and the queen mother and the empress dowager watched coldly, the queen mother, who had been frightened by Emperor Wei's tragic situation and comatose, finally woke up under the extraordinary medical skills of several imperial doctors.
As soon as she woke up, she heard the quarrel of the ministers on the side, and when she scolded angrily, the content was very simple, it was nothing more than that her son had just died, and they were thinking about setting up a new emperor, whether they were already dissatisfied or something.
Bloody the dogs scolded by those ministers.
If it was changed before, when Emperor Wei was still alive, even if these ministers heard the Queen Mother scolding them like this, they would never dare to refute anything.
Because their heads are not as hard as the Emperor's sword.
Don't forget.
Now Emperor Wei is dead.
The dead can no longer die, they are all ossified.
In this way, why should they worry, they immediately began to accuse one by one as a matter of course:
"The country cannot be without an army for a day, now that Your Majesty has died, it is natural to set up a new emperor, when the first emperor died, isn't your majesty also three days after the death of the first emperor to worship the sky and ascend the throne as the emperor?
At that time, His Majesty was still the crown prince.
And it is a matter of course.
Now that His Majesty has no children, we are very pressed for time, so we naturally have to make a decision as soon as possible.
You can't delay it for ten days and half a month before deciding! ”
"Exactly! Yes, extremely!
Now that time is pressing, it is natural to hurry. ”
"Yes, besides, this matter is a national matter, and the Queen Mother should not care about it, after all, it is the ancestral legacy that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, no matter who comes here to be the emperor, you are the Queen Mother."
Several of the old ministers of the first emperor are almost sixty or seventy years old, and most of them are counted in this generation, they are all veterans of the three dynasties, so they are also very confident in speaking one by one, and they accuse the queen mother of gossiping.
The Queen Mother was already heartbroken and angry because of the sudden death of her son, and she died so miserably, she had signs of stroke when she was in a coma before, and now she was so accused by several elders of the Three Dynasties, and she fainted on the spot.
This time it was not as simple as a simple coma before, this time at the moment of her coma, her whole face became distorted and stiff, and her mouth was a little crooked, which was an obvious symptom of stroke.
Accompanied by the exclamations of several imperial doctors.
The ministers of the DPRK and China could not help but look at each other.
The ministers who had just opened their mouths to accuse the Queen Mother were even darker, their hearts were hanging, and they were a little at a loss, not knowing whether they should admit their guilt or not.
