Empress Dowager Yu's original intention was to beat the Shu King and his wife to make them feel awe. If you have a request, you have to lower your body, put on a posture, and honestly let her, the queen mother, hold her head.

Just like when Emperor Jian'an succeeded to the throne. Even if you sit on the dragon chair, you have to bow down in front of her. Xiao Yuhan can still only live in the East Palace.

She has long regarded the Jiaofang Hall as her own and the phoenix seal as her own, and she will never allow others to covet it.

She is also unwilling to influence the movement of the court from afar.

If she wants to be the queen regent, the best way is to support King An to ascend the throne. King An is young and ignorant of political affairs, so she, the queen mother, has a "place to use". Even if King An can't compete with the King of Shu, as long as she reveals this intention, she can muddy this pool of water by supporting King An, and she can also make the King of Shu have to bow his head.

However, King An cowered, and had no intention of fighting for the throne at all. The impulsive and stupid Concubine Duan also changed her normal behavior and hid in the palace to be a quail.

The King of Shu and his wife are even more treacherous. After a confrontation, she did not have the upper hand, but was choked out of a sulky stomach.

After the Shu King and his wife left, Empress Dowager Yu had a gloomy face for a long time.

Zhilan and Yuqiao didn't dare to talk and persuade at all.

When she was approaching, Empress Dowager Yu bathed and changed her clothes, and before falling asleep, she suddenly said: "The mourning family is a little unwell, and early tomorrow morning, I will summon the envoy of the Zhao Yuan to see the mourning family." ”

Zhilan reacted one step faster and responded immediately.

……

On the second day, Empress Dowager Yu fell ill.

The king of Shu and his wife went to ask for peace and were stopped outside the Jiaofang Palace.

Zhilan said with an embarrassed face: "The Queen Mother Niangfeng is unwell and needs to recuperate with peace of mind, and she won't see anyone when she says it." Slaves and maids are brave, please ask His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Princess Shu to go back first! ”

Xie Mingxi sneered in his heart.

The trick of pretending to be sick is quite old-fashioned, but it is also the most effective.

Empress Dowager Yu fell ill and turned everyone away from the Jiaofang Palace. No matter how anxious Lu Ge and the others are, they can't ignore the queen mother's phoenix body. The matter of changing the Son of Heaven has to be delayed.

Want to use this trick to force their husband and wife to bow their heads? Hehe!

"Since the queen mother wants to recuperate, Your Highness, let's go back to the Fulin Palace first!" Xie Mingxi turned his head to look at Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong knew Xie Mingxi's plan at a glance, and nodded slightly: "It's okay." ”

Then, the husband and wife left the Jiaofang Hall hand in hand.

Zhilan: "......"

Zhilan, who was already ready to deal with it, felt a little uncomfortable that she had saved up enough strength to throw a punch but landed in the air. watched the King of Shu and his wife leave leisurely.

Yu Qiao happened to come over with the medicine bowl, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you standing here?" What about His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Princess Shu? ”

The corners of Zhilan's mouth twitched slightly, and she replied in a low voice, "Let's go." ”

Yuqiao: "......"

What about the expected cheekiness waiting for the sick?

At such a time, he was so calm and calm. Aren't the Shu kings and his wife worried that the Empress Dowager Yu will directly come to "can't afford to get sick" and delay it again and again?

Yu Qiao and Zhi Lan looked at each other and were speechless for a while. After a while, Zhilan cleared her throat and said, "Let's go into the bedroom together and report to the Queen Mother." ”

Yu Qiao resisted the urge to sigh and nodded.

As expected, the "sick" Empress Dowager Yu heard that the Shu King and his wife were leaving lightly, her face sank a little, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

It's good.

She wanted to see who could hold her breath.

"From today on, the mourning family will be closed in the palace to recuperate, and no one will come." Empress Dowager Yu coldly ordered: "Zhilan, order someone to keep an eye on the Fulin Palace, and if there is any abnormal movement, come and go back immediately." ”

……

What counts as an anomaly?

As a vassal king, living in the palace, he should stay in the Fulin Palace in peace, walking around is an abnormal movement, and spying on the movement of the Jiaofang Palace is an abnormal movement. Privately liaising with courtiers is also a change.

Empress Dowager Yu thought that the throne had not yet arrived, and the King of Shu must be anxious, and he had to toss some movements. As long as the handle is in her hands, she can suppress the king of Shu with this.

After listening to the order, Zhilan also thought the same.

Unexpectedly, for a few days, the news from the eyeliner in the Fulin Palace was:

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu goes to Hanxiang Palace once a day, and in addition, he stays in the Fulin Palace. Lu Ge and Zhao Ge all sent a message into the palace and invited His Royal Highness the King of Shu to leave the palace and go to Lufu Zhaofu. His Highness did not answer. ”

"The same is true for Princess Shu. I went to visit Empress Xiao once a day, and I didn't see any of the other princesses of the feudal domains. ”

Zhilan frowned when she heard this, and asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Princess Shu really have no movement?" ”

The palace maid who came to deliver the letter thought for a moment and said cautiously: "Your Royal Highness and Princess Shu practice martial arts and arrows every day, is it considered a change?" ”

Zhilan: "......"

Zhilan stubbornly reported the matter to Empress Dowager Yu.

Empress Dowager Yu lay down for a few days, and did not wait for the respectful bowing of the Shu King and his wife, and was faintly impetuous. After listening to these reports, he was even more unhappy, and snorted coldly: "Continue to keep an eye on the two of them for the mourning family." The mourners want to see how long they can endure. ”

Facts have proved that the Shu Wang couple is very patient and not in a hurry.

They were not in a hurry, but the courtiers were in a hurry.

Several vassal kings who committed the felony of treason have not yet been punished. Several important ministers have died in the imperial tomb, and the official vacancies have not yet been filled. A bunch of important government affairs between the DPRK and China are unresolved.

The matter of establishing the Son of Heaven is always delayed like this, how can it be obtained?

As the head of the imperial history, Lin Yushi stepped forward and wrote a letter to the cabinet. When several pavilion elders saw Lin Yushi's letter, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Lin Yushi is really bold, this letter is actually a direct impeachment of the Empress Dowager Yu for "delaying the establishment of the Son of Heaven on the grounds of illness".

Even if it's a fact, you can't say it so directly!

If you directly slap the face of the Empress Dowager Yu like this, you will definitely hold a grudge against the Empress Dowager Yu and cause trouble for yourself.

Lu Ge Lao and Lin Yushi are in-laws, so they naturally looked at Lin Yushi for a few points, deliberately scolded Lin Yushi with a calm face, and dismissed the performance. also avoided this twist and turn and appeared in front of the "sick" Empress Dowager Yu.

However, the matter still spread quietly.

The highest official position in the Yu family in the court is the father of the Empress Dowager Yu, Yu Zhangyuan. Yu Zhangyuan is in charge of the Hanlin Academy, he is over seventy years old, his hair and beard are all white, and his face is full of wrinkles. When he is old, he often recuperates from illness, but he has always occupied a high position and has not been promoted.

Hearing that Lin Yushi wrote such a recital, Yu Zhangyuan was quite annoyed, and he also wrote a recital that day. Impeachment of Lin Yushi for "slandering the Queen Mother and committing the following".

Master Gu followed closely. There are also officials who are close to the Yu Gu family, and they have also taken the setback.

This was exactly in the hands of Lin Yushi, who immediately geared up, led a group of imperial historians, and had a war of words with Yu Zhangyuan and others. For a time, the court fell into chaos.
