Lu Xin's heart jumped, and there was a hint of jealousy, but she still pretended to ask calmly: "Hehe, I see, in this way, he can indeed be trusted, who is his daughter?"

Xuanyuan Rui didn't notice any subtle expression from Lu Xin at all, and still replied positively, "It's Liji." ”

At this time, Lu Xin's mind flashed a lot of pictures about Liji, this woman gave her the feeling of being friendly, outstanding, low-key, indisputable, not visible, not revealing, very beautiful in everyone's style. Lu Xin thought that Liji also had a father who could help Xuanyuan Rui with his work, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart.

The next day, above the court, hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting in the main hall as usual, Empress Ling had been listening to the government for more than a month, and Empress Ling was in charge of all political affairs in the court.

Accompanied by a report from the eunuch in front of the palace: the queen has arrived.

The ministers in the palace were silent and stood neatly, and the ministers all faced the throne, but they did not see the figure of the queen mother coming out. Immediately afterwards, all the officials turned around and looked outside the door of the main hall one after another, only to see the queen holding a jade seal in her hand and wearing a bright yellow robe slowly walking in from the front of the main hall. The skirt was delayed for more than a foot, and it looked extremely grand and gorgeous. The most eye-catching thing is that the yellow robe is embroidered with a dragon pattern, which is an exclusive court dress that only the emperor can have, but at this time it is worn on the body of the queen mother, and the meaning of the queen mother could not be clearer.

This scene made the ministers stunned, and the ministers were all talking, some were angry, some shook their heads, a little snickering, and when Empress Ling slowly walked into the main hall and ascended the throne, she saw all this in her eyes.

When Empress Ling sat on the throne, finally a minister played a table because of dissatisfaction with her behavior, and Lord Qiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said in a righteous and dignified manner: "Dare to ask why the queen mother is so flamboyant and enter the court, can the laws of the country be abandoned?"

Empress Ling listened to Lord Qiu's questioning, and did not move at all, but said slowly: "Lord Qiu, even if you are a first-class official, you can't hold me accountable for being the queen, do you have the laws of the country if you commit such a crime?"

Lord Qiu listened to the queen's words of questioning him, although he was unconvinced, but he knew that he was indeed a little out of the box as a courtier, so he had no choice but to kneel in the palace.

Empress Ling smiled disapprerovingly, and then she said solemnly: "From today on, all government affairs in the court will be handled by the Empress Ben herself, and there is no need to go through the emperor's review and approval, and this decision is also approved by the emperor." Since the queen has received the emperor's will, I hope that the secretary family can help the queen manage all affairs. ”

The ministers were very angry when they saw Empress Ling enter the room so boldly, and they whispered and blamed one after another. Cabinet scholar Lord Sun stood up and said: "We want to meet the emperor, if the emperor is really unable to manage the government, then we should set up a successor who can take on the heavy responsibility as soon as possible, how can you be in charge of the government by the queen mother, of course, those who know know that the queen mother is worried about the emperor, but those who don't know still think that it is a relative who interferes in politics and wants to seek the dynasty to usurp the throne."

"Bold." At this time, another minister stood up and accused Lord Sun and said: "Lord Sun, you dare to condemn the queen mother on trumped-up charges above the court, what do you want to know, the queen mother is in charge of the government, which is also obeyed by the emperor's will, and we, as courtiers, should obey the emperor's will.

Hearing these words, Lord Sun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, and he said: "Lord Ling, you, there is no excuse for the crime of humming, and the other Qing family just wants to ask to meet the emperor and ask for an explanation."

Other ministers also echoed the response, and everyone asked to meet the emperor.

Empress Ling sat on the throne, seemingly unconcerned about the topic of argument between the two ministers, when a eunuch held a plate full of jade pendant tokens and handed it to Empress Ling. Empress Ling looked at it, picked up a piece of jade pendant from the plate and slowly walked to Lord Sun, and said while playing with the jade pendant: "Lord Sun is the elder of my dynasty, the emperor has always praised you, and the queen also has great respect for you, Lord Sun, you might as well think about what Fang just said."

Empress Ling took the jade pendant and glanced at Lord Sun, who looked at the jade pendant in Empress Ling's hand, and immediately recognized that it was his wife's exclusive personal jade pendant, and knew that his wife had been held hostage by Empress Ling.

At this time, many ministers also recognized the objects worn by their own daughters on the plate, this kind of personal objects that represent the family and identity usually do not easily fall into the hands of others, but now they are all in the hands of Queen Ling, and the meaning is clear. Suddenly, all the ministers were silent, they all knew that Empress Ling was very powerful in the court, and even the princes of all parties did not dare to fight against it, not to mention that they were courtiers, and they were even more defenseless, even if they were dissatisfied, they could not resist with the lives of their families.

Empress Ling looked at all the ministers, the corners of her mouth flashed a slight smile, she motioned to the eunuch to take out a document, and then said: "As long as you Aiqing stamps your letter seal on the document that supports the emperor, and declares it to the world and the princes and kings of all places, and wholeheartedly contributes to the country and the people, the future will not be difficult for you."

After Empress Ling finished speaking, the first person to step forward and stamp was her cronies in the court, Lord Ling's faction, and then they all stamped their respective seals on the documents one after another to express their agreement to support Empress Ling and call the emperor king.

Empress Ling proudly held the document stamped with the seals of the ministers, held the jade seal and said to the ministers: "Now the queen has announced that the emperor has died, and the emperor personally handed over the jade seal to the queen before his death, and entrusted the important task of the country to the queen.

After Empress Ling finished speaking, the ministers under the palace knelt down one after another to pay respects: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The sound is endless.

At this time, Xuanyuan Rui led a team of people and horses, and easily came to the main hall without a single soldier, and it turned out that the entire palace had already been controlled by Xuanyuan Rui.

Xuanyuan Rui's sudden appearance really surprised everyone in the hall, only a few ministers who had been in contact with him before were relatively calm, and Empress Ling had already turned pale the moment she saw Xuanyuan Rui.

At this time, Lord Sun, a cabinet scholar, walked up to Xuanyuan Rui excitedly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you really His Royal Highness the Prince, it's good that you didn't die, it's great."

So, all the ministers followed Lord Sun to meet His Royal Highness the Prince.

Empress Ling sat on the throne and said to Xuanyuan Rui domineeringly: "Who are you who dare to pretend to be the prince of Yu Liguo, you must know that the prince of our country has already died of illness on the way back, you are really bold, come here, catch him for me."

After the ministers heard Empress Ling's words, they immediately had to be suspicious of the prince in front of them, at this time, Lord Wang stood up and calmly explained to everyone: "Actually, the prince is not dead at all, he is just a ghost for the dead, the prince has been assassinated many times on the way back to China, in order to cut off the conspiracy of those who want to assassinate the prince." So, the prince made a plan and cheated to death on the way, so that he was able to escape the fierce pursuit and return safely. As for those who assassinated the crown prince, it could not be more obvious now. ”

At this time, everyone finally understood all the circumstances of the prince, and the testimony of several ministers also confirmed the true identity of the prince.

Empress Ling knew that the facts could no longer be disputed, so she said to the ministers: "Here are the documents jointly stamped by the ministers here, as well as the jade seal delivered by the emperor himself, and the throne can be said to be justified, don't forget, your wives are still in the hands of the queen."

As soon as Empress Ling finished speaking, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside the main hall, and the guard Chen Qing respectfully reported to Xuanyuan Ruiyu: "His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates and the commander of the forbidden army have successfully rescued the families of the adults in the harem and sent them home one after another."

After the ministers listened, the big stone in their hearts finally let go, they were no longer worried about being threatened by Empress Ling, Xuanyuan Rui exuded a majestic momentum all over his body, although he didn't say a word, it was enough to make people feel cold.

Empress Ling never expected that things would turn into such a situation, Xuanyuan Rui's appearance completely overwhelmed her, however, she did not show her panic, because she knew that she still had a trump card and a chance to win.

Xuanyuan Rui smiled coldly at Empress Ling and said, "Is Empress Niang waiting for General Ling?"

When Empress Ling heard this, her face suddenly changed, she stood up and said, "You"

Xuanyuan Rui said to his subordinates: "General Zhu Ling goes to court."

Empress Ling was shocked, she couldn't believe that what Xuanyuan Rui said was true, and when she saw Ling Xiao who was tied up and escorted into the main hall, she finally recognized the situation and realized that she had really lost a lot.

A few days later, after the burial of the first emperor, the ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement was immediately held, because when the new emperor ascended the throne, it was a period of mourning, so everything was simple, not extravagant, only went through some necessary procedures, so it was not too complicated. That night, Lu Xin was admitted to the palace and arranged to live in the Phoenix Palace.

In the Phoenix Palace, Xiao Xuan looked at the gorgeous palace room, dancing excitedly, and she said happily: "Miss, Miss, you slap the slave and try it"

Lu Xin looked at Xiao Xuan inexplicably and said, "Why are you so happy that you are so overwhelmed or are you indebted in your previous life?"
