Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were preparing for the queen to succeed the prince and the prince, a war report suddenly came from the south.

A few years ago, the mighty marquis led the troops south to quell the turmoil of the southern barbarian tribes, because the terrain of the southern barbarians is complex, the climate is changeable, the Central Plains soldiers are very unsuitable for the southern climate when they first arrive, there are many disasters, it is not very smooth to counter-insurgency, and the occasional gains will soon be counterattacked by the southern barbarian tribes, even if the southern barbarians are defeated, but due to the terrain, the mighty marquis does not dare to lead the troops deep, for fear of straying into the trap of the southern barbarians, only dare to be stationed in situ, it is still not conquered for several years.

In March this year, it suddenly rained in the southern barbarians, which was a common thing in the south, but this year's rain continued for more than a month before it stopped, but the rain for more than a month softened the mountain, resulting in the collapse of the mountain, and a large number of mud and rocks rolled to the camp of the mighty marquis, causing a large number of casualties among the soldiers, and the southern barbarian tribes took advantage of the situation to attack, and the mighty marquis had to retreat in a hurry, and retreated to Zishui City before barely getting rid of the pursuit of the Nanban tribes.

But because of the influence of rain and landslides, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, coupled with the fact that they could not be attacked for a long time, resulting in a serious lack of morale, and the southern barbarians often crossed the water to harass and provoke, in order to save the troops, the mighty marquis refused to fight, and the morale became more and more sluggish, and some people began to plot to surrender, and the mighty marquis was shocked to behead all the people who shook their morale to show the public, but the morale was not restored, the soldiers became more and more trembling, and had no fighting spirit, and the mighty marquis had to ask the court for help in desperation, asking the emperor to drive the expedition in person, In order to boost morale and pacify the Nanban in one fell swoop.

The battle report of the mighty marquis was delivered to the capital, all the courtiers were dumbfounded, the mighty marquis is famous for being able to fight well, and the emperor also valued this point before the mighty marquis went to pacify the particularly tricky Nanban, and the war report over the years also shows that the Nanban is very difficult to quell the chaos, if it is not for the last resort, the mighty marquis will never go to the book to ask the royal driver to conquer in person.

But now, the emperor is lying sick in bed and can't get up, and he can't even say a complete sentence. It's good if it doesn't hit morale!

However, the mighty marquis wrote very clearly in the battle report, Zishui City is once the moat, once the Nanban breaks through this moat, you can drive straight into the capital and kill all the way to the capital, so you must not let the Nanban break through this moat, you must hold it, but according to the current situation, it will definitely not be able to hold it in a short time!

The situation is grim, and the ministers have not discussed countermeasures, some people propose to increase the army by another 100,000 to the Marquis of Weiwu, and some people propose to let a certain prince go to Zishui City with grain and herbs to reward the army, but at the beginning, the Marquis of Weiwu led an army of 300,000 to the south, and it is probably a little inappropriate to increase the troops, and the court has never been short of the salary of the Marquis of Weiwu, and it is not the best policy to reward the army with military resources, and the emperor is at a loss.

At this time, the queen suddenly proposed to immediately succeed King Duan, and then canonize him as the crown prince, and the crown prince would go to Zishui City to supervise the army instead of the emperor.

The emperor hesitated.

At the beginning, he knew that the eldest prince was his only son, and sooner or later he would inherit the unification, but the emperor still did not establish the eldest prince as the prince, because he felt that once the crown prince was established, once the country had a legitimate successor, it would inevitably divide the prestige of the emperor, as well as the loyalty of the courtiers to the emperor, and the emperor who was suspicious and had been constrained by the empress dowager and the Deng family knew the importance of power, and how could he easily hand over the power in his hands?

Not even his own son!

Not to mention that now it's not his biological son!

As soon as the emperor hesitated, the Fu family took the opportunity to participate in the Weiwu Marquis.

The mighty marquis of the words are ill-intentioned, knowing that the dragon body is sick, but he asks the emperor to drive the expedition in person, I am afraid that he has other intentions, the Nanban is thousands of miles away, the specific situation is not known to the imperial court, only the words of the mighty marquis are really unconvincing, and the defeat and trapping in Zishui City may be just a lie with ulterior motives of the mighty marquis.

And the queen wants to succeed King Duan is the nephew of the Marquis of Weiwu, the relationship between King Duan and the Marquis of Wei Wu is very close, the first princess Jiang was harmed, or the Lin family of the Marquis of Mighty Wu came forward to uphold justice for King Duan, King Duan did not ask the royal family for help, but turned to his uncle's house for help, which shows that King Duan is closer to the Marquis of Wei Wu in his heart.

If the mighty marquis really has different intentions, canonizing Duanwang as the crown prince and going to Zishui City is tantamount to making the mighty marquis like a tiger with wings, the mighty marquis has an army of 300,000, if the mighty marquis waives his army to the north and supports the king of Duan, the court will not be able to draw so many troops to stop it for a while!

The excerpt of the Fu family talked about the emperor's heart.

It was because of suspicion that the emperor refused to appoint King Duan as the prince, but only agreed to the queen's proposal to succeed, and now the queen took advantage of the situation to propose to establish King Duan as the crown prince, the emperor was not very willing, and after reading what the Fu family said, he was not even willing to succeed for a moment, and the eyes of the queen were different.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the queen hurriedly took the initiative to soften, saying that it was for the sake of the emperor's dragon body that she had the proposal to establish a prince, and then thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, and recalled the past to arouse the guilt in the emperor's heart, and finally let the emperor dispel his suspicions about the queen.

However, the queen did not dare to act rashly, and now the emperor's body is getting worse and worse, and her temper is becoming more and more eccentric......

The queen had nothing to do and summoned Xu Shu again.

"It's also that the palace is anxious, thinking that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to let King Duan sit firmly in the position of the prince in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect the Fu family to secretly frame, almost making the palace lose the emperor's trust, although the emperor is still as close to the palace as ever, but the palace does not dare to mention King Duan anymore, and the palace only learned yesterday that the emperor's decree and the Ministry of Rites suspended the ceremony of succeeding King Duan, it seems that the emperor still doubts the palace after all!"

The queen gritted her teeth secretly, she had served the emperor for so long before and after the saddle, but she couldn't withstand a few provocative words from the Fu family!

"Niangniang is indeed a little anxious!" The queen's urgency gave others a chance, and it was also an opportunity that others were waiting for, "Even if Niangniang doesn't mention it, the emperor will think of this step sooner or later, but if Niangniang mentions it, the emperor will have other ideas, and the emperor will never allow anyone to covet his things!" ”

The queen sighed in annoyance, "This palace should have summoned you to the palace earlier, otherwise this palace will not lose its trust to the emperor, and now I am afraid that it will not even become a ...... to succeed."

One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds! All the hard work has come to naught!

That's it, that's it! The queen waved her hand, "This palace summoned you today, just to see if there is any remedy!" ”

"There is a way, but it's a bit risky, it depends on whether the mother is willing to give it a try?"
