Yuguo looked at Concubine Xu kneeling in front of her in embarrassment, she had already avoided it sideways, but Concubine Xu had to stare at her and salute, she could only explain in a whisper: "It's not that the slave refuses to help you go in, but the Empress Dowager hasn't slept well in the past two days, and just now Yanhou came into the palace to visit, so she persuaded the Empress Dowager to use some food, mixed the medicine of tranquility in the soup and taught the Empress Dowager to take it - now she just fell asleep!" The concubine also knows that the empress dowager is old, and if she doesn't let her rest now, she really won't be able to hold it anymore! ”

"At that time, who else will protect His Royal Highness the King of Shu and you?"

"The concubine knows, the concubine knows!" Concubine Xu sobbed lowly, and said with some eagerness and despair, "But the queen has just gone to find the concubine, and the meaning of her words is that she does not agree with the king of Shu to succeed her, and she must support him to compete for the throne with the Su family!" Aunt Yuguo, who else did you say that the concubine would ask for besides the Empress Dowager now? ”

Although it is said that the Empress Dowager Su, who is in the same palace as her, must also hope that the King of Shu will not go into troubled waters-but the purpose of Concubine Xu is to keep her son away from right and wrong, how could she take the initiative to come to King Su's biological mother?

She really only came to beg the Queen Mother.

"What did the princes of the previous dynasty say?" Yuguo's heart sank when she heard this, when she helped the Empress Dowager draft her decree before, she knew that after the Empress Dowager's decree went down, those who didn't want King Su to ascend the throne would definitely do their best to refute it!

Because although Emperor Duanhua has a brother Lu Hehao in addition to the King of Shu, it is estimated that no one wants to establish Lu Hehao.

The reason is very simple, he is older than the King of Shu, he has a lot of thoughts, and he is not easy to control!

The most important thing is that judging from his behavior of abandoning his wife and young son, he is so cold-hearted that even in the royal family, he belongs to the disdainful category!

Even Emperor Duanhua, who had a poor evaluation and personally lost the throne, was still the prince back then, in order to protect his young son, he stood up in front of the runaway tiger!

And how did Emperor Duanhua treat the heroes who supported him?

Lu Yicheng's family has not dried up!

What's more, it's Lu Hehao?

So unless it is someone who supports King Su, otherwise, they will choose King Shu.

"The concubine doesn't know." Concubine Xu said with sadness and indignation, "The concubine lives in the palace and never asks about the outside world—but where do you know what is right and wrong?" ”

Yuguo sighed and stepped forward to help her: "Concubine Niangniang, get up first!" You sit here and warm up with some tea. ”

Seeing that Concubine Xu refused, she pursed her lips, bent down and whispered, "Even if you go in and disturb the Empress Dowager now, the Empress Dowager will definitely have to ask the thoughts and practices of the princes of the previous dynasty, but if you don't know about the world, then you can only be a slave to inquire!" You can rest for a while, let the slave and maid go to inquire about the news, so that you can go in and tell the queen mother, so as not to delay your efforts, right? ”

Concubine Xu felt that what she said made sense, so she staggered up with her support and said gratefully: "There is Aunt Lao!" ”

But I didn't know that after Yuguo recruited two little palace maids to serve her, she looked like she was going out to the front, but in fact she walked to a place where Concubine Xu couldn't see, and then she turned around and returned to the back of the queen mother's bedroom.

And beside the Empress Dowager, there is a man in a gorgeous dress and a golden crown, with eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and eyes as cold as stars.

The two ancestors and grandchildren were originally whispering things, but when they saw Yuguo coming in from the small door, they were slightly surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

"Concubine Xu has to see Niangniang, the slave can't stop her, so she can only coax her to go ahead and ask the princes' views on the succession of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and then come to the ceremony for her." Yuguo came up and was blessed, and whispered, "The slave and maid look at Concubine Xu's appearance, she is really desperate." ”

"I can't blame her!" When the Empress Dowager heard this, she sighed and said, "It is her who changes the mourning family, and the only son has such a disaster, and the mourning family must also run around for the child!" ”

Yuguo was embarrassed: "I'm afraid that the Wei family will not give up!" ”

"These people, as long as there is one who is willing to stop, the royal family will not be like this!" The Empress Dowager sneered, and didn't say anything about the King of Shu, but turned to Jian Xubai and said gently, "Ah Xu, you go on, the Su family really has a way to make King Su enter the imperial capital safely and appear in the court?" ”

Jian Xu's white chin said: "Su Zhiyong is so promised, but what is the method, he didn't say!" ”

"Now that the imperial capital is being targeted by the forbidden army, he can have this certainty, it is nothing more than convincing the He family, what else can he do?" The Empress Dowager sneered and said, "Otherwise, why would you want to assassinate the crown prince with a He Lou Duhan?" ”

This question is not very good, after all, Jian Xubai also hopes that King Su will ascend the throne.

He groaned for a while, and then said vaguely: "Your Majesty has been guilty of his own edict for some time, and during this time, some people in the market are panicking. ”

"The new monarch candidate really can't be delayed any longer!" The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "In this situation, who else can the mourning family choose besides supporting King Su?" Anyway, this is a child with good qualifications and good health! It's just that...... As Yuguo Fang just said, will the Wei family admit defeat because of the assassination of the prince? Su Zhiyong told you that he was sure that he would let King Su appear in the court, but He Wenqiong has not expressed his position so far, which shows that he is at most putting some water, and he has no intention of publicly supporting King Su at all! ”

"It can be seen that He Wenqiong did not hesitate in her heart!"

"There is such a thing as the battle for the throne, no one can say for sure until the dust settles - now that Su Zhiyong can convince He Wenqiong, who knows if the Wei family will pull him back? At that time, even if King Su appears in the court, he may not be able to set the overall situation! ”

The ancestors of the Wei family are no worse than the Su family, the Su family can have the killer feature of He Lou Duhan, doesn't the Wei family have the means to press the bottom of the box?

I can't say when I will retaliate against King Su.

Jian Xubai groaned: "In fact, now His Royal Highness the Prince's injury is no longer suitable for inheriting the throne, such as His Royal Highness the King of Shu and others are not as suitable as His Royal Highness the King of Su." Everybody knows that. So the biggest problem is that His Royal Highness King Su was personally succeeded by the first emperor! ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face was also gloomy, and she said after a while: "This problem of status is really not solved if it is not solved......

Darui's system is that the legal system is greater than the bloodline.

In other words, the heirs of the children who have passed out are higher than the biological parents.

Although everyone knows that King Su is the concubine of Emperor Xianjia, now his name is the nephew of Emperor Xianjia.

So if he crosses the throne of Emperor Xianjia's sons, it will be his nephew and uncle's throne - as soon as such an example is opened, it is conceivable that the royal family in the future will definitely bury hidden dangers from now on!

Because King Su, who is the emperor's nephew, can succeed to the throne beyond the emperor's own sons, why can't other emperor's nephews?

"So when Concubine Xu begged the mourning family to succeed the king of Shu to Chen Guo, the mourning family agreed." The Empress Dowager rubbed her eyebrows and said a little tiredly, "The heirs of the first emperor are only Duanhua, Lu Hehao, and King Shu. ”

"Lu Hehao regards his wife and children as abandoned sons, and even murders his aunts and uncles, and he has no place to stand on his heart!"

"As long as the King of Shu succeeds him, the King of Su will barely be able to say it!"

"It's just ......," the Empress Dowager said this, a little embarrassed.

Jian Xubai answered knowingly: "It's just that Lu Hehao is the son of the first emperor in the end - even if the king of Shu succeeds him, the first emperor still has a son under his knees in addition to His Majesty." If King Su surpasses him and ascends the throne, then if there are side branches who want to usurp the throne in the future, they can also fabricate charges and frame the prince! ”

In short, this opening is not easy to open.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "That's exactly what reason! ”

She had a headache and said, "This problem, Su Zhiyong's side, what countermeasures do you have?" ”

"He said something, but I think it's ......," Jian looked hesitant, "I don't think it's appropriate." ”

The Empress Dowager was surprised: "What is inappropriate?" ”

"He said that when the fifth sister was married to His Royal Highness King Su, because the imperial aunt rewarded the fifth sister with a pair of ancient hairpins handed down from the previous dynasty, the second aunt thought it was ominous, and entered the palace to meet with the imperial uncle for this reason, and had a secret conversation for a long time." Jian Xubai paused at this point before continuing, "At that time, everyone thought that the second aunt had the idea of quitting her family, but under the persuasion of the imperial uncle, she still dispelled this idea!" ”

The Empress Dowager seemed to have a premonition of something, and subconsciously sat up straight: "Go on!" ”

"In fact, the second aunt's attitude of quitting her relatives at that time was very firm, and she even had the posture of tearing her face with the imperial uncle!" Jian Xubai said with a complicated expression, "Later, the imperial uncle couldn't resist the second aunt, so he gave it to the second aunt...... A holy decree! ”

"Holy Decree?!" The Empress Dowager and Yuguo exchanged a look of surprise, and asked in unison, "What is the content of the holy decree?" ”

"Nope!" Jian Xubai shook his head and explained, "There is nothing on the holy decree - because the imperial uncle doesn't know what trouble His Royal Highness King Su will encounter in the future, so he only used the holy decree with the jade seal and other procedures, made a secret decree file, and handed over the booklet of the file to his henchman for collection, and told him not to let His Majesty know unless the second aunt announced this holy decree and then took out the booklet of the file to prove that it was left by the imperial uncle." ”

"And when His Royal Highness King Su's life is threatened by His Majesty, let the second aunt write the content of the holy decree according to the situation."

Emperor Xianjia didn't trust the eldest princess of Daiguo very much, so the secret decree to the eldest princess of Daiguo was not only written with good content, but also the ink on it was tampered with, and it disappeared automatically after a while; But the secret decree to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was to be written by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom - because Emperor Xianjia believed that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom would not pit her children and grandchildren, nor would she pit Da Rui.

After a pause, Jian Xubai whispered, "The emperor's grandmother knows: the second aunt can copy the emperor's uncle's handwriting. ”

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager, and when the younger brothers and sisters at the bottom learn to paint red, they are all instructed by her - therefore, whether it is Emperor Xianjia or the eldest princess of the Daiguo, when they learn to write, they all compare the handwriting of the eldest sister, and the sisters and brothers are of course very familiar with each other's handwriting, and they can forge each other's handwriting.

Of course, although Emperor Xianjia is talented, he is not an all-rounder, and his handwriting is not bad, but it is not good enough to be famous for all eternity.

It is not difficult for those famous Confucians who have been admitted one by one in the court to imitate the handwriting of Emperor Xianjia.

So in the final analysis, it is the Holy Decree that matters - this is a documented secret decree from the intention of Emperor Xianjia!

With it, you can do things under the banner of Emperor Xianjia to a certain extent!

"The mourners never knew about this holy decree." After the Empress Dowager was stunned for a while, she said with some loss, "Also, the first emperor died, and the two sisters of the Tonggong were still alive, since he gave the secret decree of the Daiguo, there is no reason not to give it to the Jin State." ”

Only she, her mother, has nothing?

The Empress Dowager didn't know if Emperor Xianjia had forgotten or thought that she didn't need it, but she was a little sad at the moment.

She suppressed her emotions before continuing, "So, Su Zhiyong is the idea of fighting this holy decree?" ”

"Exactly!" Jian Xubai lowered his eyes and said, "But the second aunt has been in poor health recently, I think ...... It's better not to disturb the second aunt! ”

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while, and said: "The Jin Kingdom has really not been good recently, and it is indeed inappropriate for her to know about the messy things during this time." ”

After a pause, "However, this kind of thing can't be taken out without her hands - her things have been collected by Jia Yue for the past two years, so let's do it, the mourning family will let Yuguo go, tell Jia Yue about it, and let Jia Yue quietly take out the holy decree!" ”

Yuguo responded, and reminded: "Concubine Xu is still waiting outside?" ”
