Chapter 603: Persuasion (Page 1/1)
The front of the Taiji Hall was already heavily guarded, and the tiger Ben Weisen, who was in Ming armor and fighting with a sword, looked at the people who entered the hall coldly, and did not let people enter or leave when they were idle.
Gu Qing, Cui Lin, and Gu Mingzhu arrived in front of the hall, looking up at the main hall high on the jade steps, and their hearts were quite complicated.
Gu Qing was still not at ease, and called Cui Lin and Gu Mingzhu: "Or I'll go to meet the Queen Mother, you want to get out of the palace as soon as possible, the Queen Mother has the heart to ask for guilt, and she won't embarrass the Cui family." ”
Gu Mingzhu shook his head, his eyes were firm: "It's already this time, how can the Queen Mother let Lang Jun and me go, I'm afraid I won't give up easily today." ”
"Father, let's do as we say."
She was a little obscure when she called her father, but she still looked at Gu Qing calmly.
Gu Qing's body stiffened, and she couldn't help but look at Gu Mingzhu, only to see that her eyes were like water, standing calmly, she was a little speechless for a while, but she was sad and unbearable, and nodded helplessly after a while: "You guys go." But he hung his head heavily, and he couldn't bear to look at his daughter more.
Although Cui Lin didn't know what the knot between the father and daughter was, it was a good thing that they could reconcile now, and he smiled and said to Gu Qing: "Uncle Yue is relieved, let's go back as soon as we go." ”
He looked at Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu also looked at him, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, although in the face of such a situation, they did not discuss what choice to make in private, but they seemed to have an instinct to communicate with each other, knowing what the other party wanted, they didn't need more words.
The Queen Mother was in the main hall, sitting on the upper seat with strict makeup and beautiful clothes, looking at the hesitant ministers below, and sneering: "What, what else do you propose?" ”
"If you have any other candidates, you might as well speak now, or you can discuss."
Although she said this, the phoenix's eyes were full of light, sweeping everyone below, looking at the eyes of all beings, and seeing those ministers, they couldn't help but shrink, not daring to look up at her.
One of them was thin and slightly rickety, wearing a vermilion official uniform, looked left and right, and paced out to bow to the ground: "The minister has a play." ”
The Queen Mother looked at him, her eyes flashing slightly: "Speak." ”
“…… In the past years in Mingguang Temple, the Queen Mother paid homage to the first emperor and worshiped incense, and Master Cihui once said that the Queen Mother was the reincarnation of Maitreya, and it would be unspeakably expensive in the future. The official looked respectful, "After the first emperor, there is a giant turtle camel monument on the shore of the Yellow River, and the heroine of the book is respected on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, this is all a heavenly machine, shown by heaven's will, which cannot be changed, and the minister asks the queen mother to comply with the will of heaven and succeed to the throne." ”
His words caused a controversy among the ministers, and many old ministers stared at that person with disgust, but a few of them gave each other a look, and stepped forward to bow down: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”
However, after all, it was just a few of them, and more ministers were silent, obviously unwilling to second, and afraid of the power of the Queen Mother, so they would stand aside without saying a word.
The Queen Mother got up from the couch, stood solemnly, looked down at the messy situation below, and said coldly: "This matter is not trivial, you can go to the side hall to discuss first, and then come to the court later." ”
She waved everyone away, and watched the group of courtiers with different hearts retreat, but she sat softly on the couch, unable to cheer up for a long time.
Sure enough, it was not the right time, she could have been more prepared, so that the courtiers could subtly recognize her wisdom and accept her rule, but as soon as she began to prepare, there were already frequent accidents, and the saint could not hold on after all and left.
She can only act in a hurry, and naturally there are many obstacles.
But she was unwilling, unwilling to be blocked by this step, for many years, the affairs of the court and the central government were all handled by her, the first emperor had long since asked, and the crown prince ascended the throne was just lazy about wine, lazy in government affairs, just because he knew that she was the queen mother behind her, supporting the court and supporting the country.
She worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, and even the old ministers left by the Taizong Dynasty praised her for her diligence and virtue, and it was her credit to be able to do this in the world, but why couldn't she really sit on the court and be admired and worshiped by thousands of people, and become the lord of the world!
Just because she's a woman?!
The Queen Mother's face was as gloomy as iron, she already had killing intent when she closed her eyes and opened them again, she had softened her heart, and she also wanted to live in this harem with peace of mind, but how could they let her go, once she really handed over her authority, even her son wanted to take her life, then she would never give them this chance!
The palace maid came in trembling and bowed down: "The lord of Lingling County, Cui Wulangjun begged to see the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother suddenly looked over, her eyes were cold: "Let them in." ”
Gu Mingzhu and Cui Lin entered the hall, saluted with the Queen Mother and sat down on the couch.
The Queen Mother saw that their faces were normal, and she didn't see Gu Qing coming in, and raised her eyebrows: "General Gu has never entered the palace?" ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't hide it: "My father has entered the palace and is waiting in the side hall." ”
"Why, he didn't dare to come himself, but let you come to intercede." The Queen Mother's tone was cold and sharp, "Even he wants to disobey me?" ”
Gu Mingzhu sighed lightly: "Queen Mother, I'm here to resign for my father." ”
Resign? The Queen Mother was slightly surprised, but quickly sneered: "At this time, the power of the 100,000 soldiers is like a hot potato to him, and he wants to hand it over?" ”
Gu Mingzhu did not have the slightest fear, and calmly said: "Queen Mother, with all due respect, at this time, it is beneficial for my father to hand over the military power to the Queen Mother, the Tang Dynasty and the Gu family. ”
The Queen Mother was unmoved, looked at her coldly, and then looked at Cui Lin: "What, Cui Wulang is also here to help the Gu family lobby?" ”
Cui Lin smiled indifferently: "I don't know when King Xian will become a vassal?" ”
He suddenly asked about this, and the Queen Mother was a little unable to come back to her senses, and it took a while before she calmed down: "When the major events in the DPRK and China are decided, I will rush to the South China Sea in the near future." ”
Cui Lin nodded: "The South China Sea is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the Queen Mother naturally can't bear to treat His Royal Highness King Xian harshly, so she will definitely enrich the garrison, reward the good land and property, and exempt him from taxes, so that His Royal Highness King Xian can stay in the fief safely." ”
He took a sip of tea, and continued without hurry: "General Gu leads the troops to the northwest, and tens of thousands of troops are the pillars of our dynasty, and the queen mother must be treated favorably, and the ministers of the central clan are respectful to His Royal Highness King Xian, and General Gu is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness King Xian, and naturally he is also respected by the audience and the clan, and it is still the blessing of the Gu family." ”
Before he finished speaking, the Queen Mother's face had changed greatly, and she heard the meaning of the two of them, if she really ascended the throne and became the emperor, the Xianwang Li Mi was the only prince of Li Tang, and the clan and those ministers and generals who were dedicated to Tang naturally pinned their hopes on him, and Gu Qing was Li Mi's father-in-law, with 100,000 troops in his hands, it would really become her biggest threat!
