Chapter 689: The Struggle for the Throne
"Xiaoman, have you already thought about what I told you just now?"
Su Xiaoman smiled, he didn't just want to open it, he also knew the truth that Lu Li didn't know.
Yu Su Xiaoman told Lu Li everything about meeting the little palace maid, and Lu Li was also very surprised, it turned out that he had been played by Wan Ling'er for so long, it seems that this Wan Ling'er is indeed quite a city, otherwise he would not have thought of such a poisonous plan.
"Then according to you, that child belongs to Salia and King Ning?"
Su Xiaoman nodded, it is too simple to prove that the eldest prince is not from the emperor, this eldest prince is very similar to King Ning, his eyebrows and eyes are very gentle, the appearance of a humble gentleman, plus those eyes, occasionally turn into green pupils, doesn't it prove that the child is the child of Sharia and King Ning.
Lu Li rubbed his temples and said to Xiao Man.
"In this case, we do have a chance to prevent the Great Prince from ascending the throne, but how should we plan in the future?"
Xiao Man calmed down and thought about it, if the eldest prince was prevented from ascending the throne, then the current opponent would only be King Ning, if you want to say that after King Ning and Lu Li fought infighting, it must be a serious waste, at this time Zhang An can be far away in Yuzhou, but they will kill them all, of course they can't be cheap Zhang An, so what they have to do now is to make no effort to let King Ning give up this throne.
"You say, why don't we go to King Ning's mansion and negotiate with him well, so that he can give up the throne?"
Lu Li shook his head, feeling that Su Xiaoman's idea was still too naïve, if the emperor had no heirs, then the royal children would only have King Ning and King Shen, King Shen was still young, so it was naturally impossible to win King Ning, King Ning was on the throne but deserved it, how could he let go of a golden opportunity, how could a thoughtful person like King Ning give up the throne well.
Su Xiaoman thought about it, what Lu Li said was indeed very right, but he really had no choice at this time, so he asked Pearl to invite Liniang over, but Pearl ran around the Lu Mansion and didn't see Liniang's shadow.
Only found a letter in Liniang's room, and Pearl took the letter and put it in front of Su Xiaoman.
When Su Xiaoman read the letter, he felt a little nervous, at this juncture, Liniang said that he had something important to do, and when he came back, he would give Su Xiaoman and Lu Li a big gift, and let them plan their own fight for the throne before that.
Su Xiaoman folded the letter and put it in his clothes, his face began to become bitter, to say that he didn't know what this Liniang thought, why did she suddenly go out to do errands, and she didn't explain to them in advance, which would let them plan by themselves, but they didn't know what to do at all.
"Since Liniang's predecessors said so, let's take a step and see one step."
Su Xiaoman nodded, Liniang is not here, and now it can only be like this.
So Lu Li put on his official uniform, and Xiao Man also put on a costume of Mrs. Order, to say that Lu Li had secretly contacted the old people in his army before, these old people knew that Lu Li was not dead, but the pseudonym Su Shuo was naturally very happy, so they all expressed their support for Lu Li.
Now the military power is equivalent to having returned to Lu Li's hands, but the ministers in this court are naturally more supportive of King Ning, after all, King Ning is of heavenly blood, and he is more justifiable than Lu Li.
Lu Li didn't expect that he and King Ning would have a big battle so soon.
I only saw that at this time, not only Lu Li came to the Jinluan Palace, but also the ministers of civil and military affairs gathered here, including Lu Li's biggest enemy now, King Ning.
King Ning heard that his imperial brother had died, but there was no sad expression on his face, after all, when he knew that the emperor and Wan Ling'er had taken Wushi San, he expected the end of the emperor today, the emperor's self-destruction of the Great Wall was naturally very much in line with his heart, if the emperor did not die, how could he justifiably ascend the throne.
It's just that he doesn't know that the eldest prince is his own child yet, and he is still thinking about how to remove this eldest prince from the throne.
Seeing Lu Li coming, he looked at Lu Li with a faint look in his eyes, as if he was declaring war with Lu Li, but Lu Li naturally would not be afraid, so he responded to King Ning with a confident look, after all, he was determined to win this throne.
I only saw that at this time, Wan Ling'er hugged the little prince and walked up to the Jinluan Hall crying, and these ministers were a little worried when they saw that the child was still so young.
To say that this young emperor ascended the throne, it was easy to be manipulated by his mother, plus a person like Wan Ling'er who was in the cholera dynasty, if he really let such a person become the queen mother, it would inevitably be unfavorable to Donglan Kingdom, and these Wenchen had already made a calculation in their hearts.
If they really let the little prince ascend the throne, they must force Wan Ling'er to death, how can this queen mother be served by a woman in a green building, I saw Wan Ling'er crying and crying to the ministers at this time.
The emperor has died, but when he died, he did not leave any will, and the emperor has no other heirs except the eldest prince, only the eldest prince, so I think the eldest prince is the only new monarch.
This Lord Liu is naturally very happy, thinking that he is finally not on the wrong side, he was quite good with Wan Ling'er before, if the eldest prince ascends the throne at this time, Wan Ling'er will naturally give himself a lot of benefits, so he said with his head.
Since there is no one to choose the new monarch, it is naturally the eldest prince.
But a military attache next to him said coldly.
"This Concubine Ling is not the master of the middle palace, no matter how much she says such things, it will not be her turn to call the shots, whatever she says doesn't count, we still wait for the queen to come."
When Wan Ling'er heard what the military attache said, she naturally felt very angry, if she wanted to say that she was the biological mother of the prince, why didn't she count what she said, but she had to wait until the old woman of the queen came, and these civil and military officials could be convinced.
After a while, the queen really came to this Jinluan Palace, and when the civil and military officials saw the queen coming, they naturally saluted immediately, and the queen hated Wan Ling'er very much, and now she saw her standing on top of this Jinluan Palace instead of the middle palace, and she was naturally very angry.
So he glanced at the eunuch next to him, this eunuch naturally understood, and pulled Wan Ling'er down, and then snatched the little prince over and put it in the hands of the nurse, the nurse naturally understood the current situation, and stood next to the queen with the little prince in her arms.
This kind of behavior naturally made Wan Ling'er very angry, if she wanted to say that she was the prince's biological mother, the queen obviously wanted to leave her son alone to go to her mother, so she said to the queen.
"Queen Mother, what are you doing, the eldest prince was born to me, do you still want to take the eldest prince away from me?"
The queen looked at Wan Ling'er coldly, and she didn't expect this Wan Ling'er to be so arrogant, because the emperor favored her before, so she tolerated her a lot, and now that the emperor is gone, she still dares to talk to herself, the queen of the middle palace, it is really bold.
So she instructed her aunt next to her, this aunt is the queen's henchman, seeing the queen's eyes, she immediately walked in front of Wan Ling'er and slapped her hard, Wan Ling's eyes were full of gold stars when she hit her, and her face was suddenly red and swollen.
"Concubine Ling, what are you doing, now the queen is in charge of the overall situation, how can you speak, besides, the queen mother is the mother-in-law, the children of the concubines in this palace are all her children, you are just a concubine, how can you be regarded as the mother of the little prince?"
After Wan Ling'er was slapped, she heard what the queen's henchman said, according to the rules of the palace, she really can't call herself the mother of the prince, and the eyes of the officials looking at the cultural relics are all with contempt, although she is unhappy in her heart, she can only endure it first, and wait until she becomes the queen mother, and then unite with Lord Liu to clean up the queen.
Seeing that Wan Ling'er stopped talking, the queen felt a little proud in her heart, she had been tossed by her for so long, and she was finally able to repay the grievances one by one.
I saw that at this time, a minister came out and said to the queen.
Queen Mother, since the emperor has died now, and the emperor has no other heirs except for the eldest prince, please ask the queen mother to preside over the overall situation and immediately support the new monarch to ascend the throne, after all, the country cannot be without a king for a day.
The queen mother nodded, although the eldest prince was reluctantly supported by him, but he had no other way, but fortunately, he also won the position of the queen mother, and he kept the glory of the family no matter what.
Just as she was about to make an announcement, a military attache stood up and said loudly in the Jinluan Palace.
"Queen Mother, the minister has objections, this eldest prince was not born to the emperor, how can he become the new monarch of Donglan Kingdom?"
This military attache was naturally arranged by Lu Li, and when he heard him say this, all the civil and military officials began to discuss, you must know that this prince was not born to the emperor, what a slander this is to the royal family, and the queen naturally widened her eyes and was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Seeing the queen's mother's expression, I was afraid that it would be unseemly, and a eunuch immediately reminded the queen twice in her ear, and the queen came back to her senses and said to the military attaché.
"You are too bold to slander the royal face like this, and you dare to say nonsense!"
Hearing the empress so serious, the military attache immediately knelt down, but there was no fear on his face.
Queen Mother, what the minister said is true, this child is definitely not born to the emperor, if you don't believe it, I have evidence.
Hearing that this prince was not from the emperor, the queen mother was a little anxious, she also knew that many people were staring at this throne, especially the emperor's younger brother King Ning, if this eldest prince was really not the emperor's heir, then wouldn't this throne clearly fall into the hands of King Ning.
If King Ning becomes the emperor, he can only be regarded as an imperial sister-in-law, not the emperor's mother, and how will he have a place in Donglan Country in the future.
