Empress Dowager Yu was waiting for the concubine to come to the door.

Xie Mingxi was also waiting to see the excitement.

Sheng Hong's momentum as the Son of Heaven is unstoppable. At such times, Concubine Duan just jumped out with courage, and there was no possibility of reversal, just adding to the joke.

Unexpectedly, I waited and waited, but I didn't wait for Concubine Duan to make a fool of herself.

Until Emperor Jian'an was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Sheng Hong led the ministers to return, and Concubine Duan remained untouched.

Xie Mingxi praised King An in front of Sheng Hong: "This King An is not very old, and he is not particularly smart, but his mind is very transparent. ”

The only one who can persuade Concubine Duan is King An.

Sheng Hong also showed a smile in his eyes: "He is young, but he thinks clearly when he encounters something, and he refuses to be a chess piece in the hands of others, which is also very good." ”

After a pause, he said: "I've been busy these days, and now I finally have free time, so I just went to see him." ”

Changing the Son of Heaven is by no means a trivial matter. Brother to brother, there must always be a cutscene. Waiting for the important ministers of the court to jointly play a fold, waiting for the Empress Dowager Yu to take the initiative to come to him, he had to push back three or four times before he could say anything.

In this way, he will rarely have a period of leisure time in the future, not touching the government and not touching all things in the palace, in order to show his "innocence" without desires.

Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "I'll go with you to see King An." ”

The husband and wife went to see King An together.

King An escaped death and picked up his life, but most of his body was hollowed out by this serious illness and needed to recuperate slowly.

Seeing Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi, King An was quite happy, and ordered the chamberlain to help him to salute. Sheng Hong immediately spoke out to stop: "You are not in good health, just lie on the bed to recuperate." and his brother, why do you need to be so polite. ”

Xie Mingxi also smiled and said, "Yes, you are so resting." ”

Seeing that the King of Shu and his wife were so gentle and kind, King An was very useful in his heart, and responded with a smile: "Thank you for the compassion of the seventh brother and sister-in-law, then I will be cheeky and lie on the bed and not get up." ”

Concubine Duan on the side was also secretly relieved.

It seems that what King An did was the right decision.

No matter how powerful the Empress Dowager Yu is, she is old, and I don't know how many years she can live. The Shu King and his wife in front of him, the future Emperor and Empress of Great Qi, are in the prime of life, and they must not be guilty.

……

"Empress Dowager Qi, His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Princess Shu went to visit His Royal Highness King An together. After waiting for tea and sending some supplements, I returned to Fulin Palace. ”

In the Jiaofang Palace, Yu Qiao reported in a low voice.

Empress Dowager Yu didn't know what to think of, and sneered.

Yu Qiao's heart sank, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Empress Dowager Yu's slightly gloomy face.

After a while, Empress Dowager Yu said slowly: "The mourning family knows. You go to the Fulin Palace, spread the message of the mourning family, and let the king of Shu and his wife come to accompany the mourning family for dinner. ”

Yu Qiao retreated.

That night, the King of Shu and his wife came to the Jiaofang Hall and had dinner with the Empress Dowager Yu.

The successive changes inside and outside the palace, the death of Emperor Jian'an, and the rebellion of several vassal kings have cast a thick shadow on the court. Xiao Yuhan has not gotten up from the couch so far, Zhao Changqing, Yin Xiaoxiao, and Li Xiangru are all panicked, and without the instructions of the Empress Dowager Yu, they can't even get out of the dormitory.

In the huge dining room, there are only Empress Dowager Yu and the King of Shu and his wife.

After a quiet dinner, Empress Dowager Yu opened her mouth to break the silence: "The matter of the burial of the first emperor is hard for you." ”

Sheng Hong replied with a straight face: "This is all within the son's responsibility, and I don't dare to be a mother." ”

Empress Dowager Yu's eyes were heavy, she couldn't see her joy and anger clearly, and she couldn't see half of her true emotions: "The country can't be left without an owner for a day." The mourning family specially summoned you today to discuss with you the establishment of a new emperor. ”

Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi quickly glanced at each other, and each looked at the Empress Dowager Yu quietly.

"The major affairs of the country and the dynasty should be decided after consultation between the queen mother and the cabinet ministers." Sheng Hong responded decently: "Erchen didn't dare to speak in vain. ”

Empress Dowager Yu tugged at the corners of her mouth: "There are no outsiders here." Don't talk about the scene. The kings of Lu, the kings of Min, and the kings of Ningxia conspired to kill the first emperor. All three of them will be severely punished. The position of the new emperor will not be their turn. ”

"In this way, only you and King An will be left."

"You are older than King An, and you have been in the domain for more than two years, and you have governed Shu in an orderly manner, which is quite effective. He personally led his troops to suppress the rebellion and made a great contribution. This dragon chair should be seated by you. ”

Sheng Hong didn't want to excuse himself: "The son is immoral and incompetent, how dare he occupy the position of the Son of Heaven." I also asked the queen mother to choose another virtuous person. ”

Empress Dowager Yu glanced at Sheng Hong and said quietly, "What do you think of King An?" ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

As a son, it is inconvenient to compete with his mother-in-law. As a man, he also fell behind in the competition with women. And Empress Dowager Yu's sentence came suddenly, and Sheng Hong was speechless for a while.

"The queen mother is interested in King An, so she may wish to discuss it with the cabinet ministers." Xie Mingxi answered the conversation unhurriedly: "Your Highness has no objections. ”

Sheng Hong calmed down and opened his mouth to echo: "What Mingxi said is exactly what I think." ”

"The position of the Son of Heaven is inhabited by those who are capable. You don't have to be stuck with being old or young. Although King An is young and ignorant of political affairs, with the careful teaching of his mother, he will definitely be able to take on important responsibilities. ”

"Since the queen mother has this intention, it is better to summon the elders into the palace as soon as possible to discuss this matter. When the capital is over, Mingxi and I can also return to Shu as soon as possible. ”

Empress Dowager Yu was squeezed by these words.

Sheng Hong's words were undoubtedly a clear mockery of her wanting to be regent and get involved in the court.

The establishment of the Son of Heaven is a major event of the country. Although the Empress Dowager Yu is a queen mother, she cannot act arbitrarily, and she can set up whoever she wants. The King of Shu and the King of An are put together, and the blind know who to choose.

She opened her mouth to choose King An, didn't she put her selfish ambitions in the open? Lu Ge Lao and the others, how can they nod and agree?

Xie Mingxi looked at Empress Dowager Yu's not very beautiful face, and said with a faint smile: "Actually, there is another way. King Lu's son-in-law is seven years old this year. The son of King Lu of Ningxia is also four years old. You can pick one, pass it on to the first emperor, and then inherit the throne. In this way, the queen mother will have to work hard for several more years. ”

This remark is full of irony.

King Lu and others teamed up to kill Emperor Jian'an, which should be severely punished, and perhaps his wife and children will be involved. Really pick one of the three Ji Ge'er, Emperor Jian'an can be angry to death again in the ground. Empress Dowager Yu wanted to get involved in the government's intentions, but she had nothing to hide.

Mrs. Yu's complexion sank a little later, and her eyes swept coldly across the two calm faces in front of her, only to feel extremely dazzling.

The two of them are simply fearless, do they really think that the emperor is in the palm of the king of Shu?

Scold!

If she doesn't nod for a day, Sheng Hong won't want to get her wish for a day!

Empress Dowager Yu said coldly: "The mourning family is a little tired today. Let's discuss these things tomorrow. ”
