Chapter 357: The Empress Dowager's Edict

Yun Mo ordered the maid to roll up the curtains, "Yueqi, don't embarrass him." ”

The junior general hurriedly bowed his hand and thanked him, "Thank you, county lord!" The lower official will go to ask for instructions, and he will be back in a moment. ”

"Go ahead!"

The junior general hurriedly mounted his horse and galloped away, and the rest of his subordinates were not allowed to move around the carriage.

After a stick of incense, Yun Yueqi was a little impatient, and looked at the carriage surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army for several layers.

Yun Moxi looked at it coldly, and probably understood it in his heart.

No matter how the emperor died, in short, Zhao Guangyi had the heart to seize the throne.

began to worry in his heart, at this time Zhao Tingyuan was in the Northern Han Dynasty, if the King of Jin really wanted to seize the throne, it would really be beyond his reach.

After a while, the junior officer returned, waved his hand at the Imperial Guard, and ordered, "Let go!" ”

Chao Yunmo bowed down and said, "Let the county lord wait for a long time, please!" ”

"Thank you!" She lowered the curtain.

The carriage went all the way to the palace without being hindered.

When they arrived outside the palace, even if they saw the gold medal, the guards went in as usual to ask for instructions, and soon they came back and let them go.

The carriage could not enter the palace, so Yun Moxi had to enter on foot.

Yun Yueqi followed behind, and the two of them looked at the palace all the way and it was solemn all the way, even the palace maids and eunuchs who usually came and went were very few at this time, and occasionally they were in a hurry.

"It seems that something has changed, the master will have to be more careful in a while!" Yun Yueqi couldn't help but admonish.

"Hmm!" Frowning and nodded, it was too sudden, and now his mind was full of thinking about how to make Zhao Ting rush back to grab the throne.

Walking all the way to Funing Palace, I saw a lot of noise outside Funing Palace from a distance.

When I walked in, I saw that it was Queen Song Qiao with the eunuch palace maid outside the Funing Palace.

Song Qiao was wearing plain clothes, her eyes were red and swollen when she cried, and she was supported by the palace maid, wanting to go in to see the emperor's body, but she was stopped by the guards guarding Funing Palace.

Say nothing and don't let it in.

Funing Palace was also heavily guarded, and the forbidden army guards surrounded several layers.

"Let the mother go in, this is the queen mother, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard guts, and even the mother dares to stop the mother!" The eunuch beside Song Qiao scolded sharply.

"No one can enter without the order of His Royal Highness King Jin." The guard guarding the door repeated impatiently.

"You ......," the eunuch was still clamoring loudly.

"Queen Mother!" Yun Moxi shouted.

Song Qiao heard the familiar voice and turned his head to see that it was Yun Moxi, just like seeing a relative, "Yun Xi, you are here!" Tears fell again.

Yun Moxi hurriedly went over to help her, "What happened?" ”

"They won't let this palace in!" After all, when you are young, sudden changes will inevitably mess up.

Yun Moxi looked at the guards and scolded, "Bold, why don't you let the queen in?" ”

The general looked embarrassed, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has strictly ordered that no one is allowed to enter, and there is no way for the small ones." ”

"Niangniang is the lord of the first house, how can it be anyone?"

"Don't be embarrassed by the county lord, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has strictly ordered, that is, ...... The queen also can't enter. The general had no choice but to say.

"Where is His Royal Highness King Jin at this time?" I just asked.

"Discuss with the lords in the Hanging Arch Hall."

looked at Song Qiao, "Niangniang will go to the Vertical Arch Hall with Yunxi, and ask about Your Majesty's situation." It doesn't make sense to the guards here, in front of all the adults, His Royal Highness will not have to stop the mother from entering. ”

"Hmm!" Song Qiao also had no idea, and sent someone to send a letter out of the palace, but the palace people were detained and couldn't leave the palace at all.

She was independent in the palace, and she naturally had some support when she saw Yun Moxi.

When the two of them arrived at the Vertical Arch Hall, the guards did not stop them.

Yun Moxi helped Queen Song to walk in, and saw Zhao Guangyi sitting on a chair, dressed in plain clothes.

There were seven or eight ministers standing on the side, headed by Prime Minister Zhao Pu.

These ministers are all the most important ministers with the highest official quality, and they don't know what they are discussing, so they all bow their heads solemnly at this time.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Zhao Guangyi was a little displeased, ignored Song Qiao, and just asked, "Why is the Lord of Yunxi here!" ”

"Such a big event, how could Yun Xi not come."

He looked sad: "Last night, the imperial brother died suddenly, and the king was heartbroken when he heard the bad news. ”

Zhao Pu said: "The country can't be like a king for a day, and the lower officials think that His Royal Highness the King of Jin should also ascend the throne as soon as possible to preside over state affairs." ”

"Enthronement?" Yun Moxi shouted, "Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, why did you suddenly die, and you have to rush to support the new monarch before such a major event is clarified?" ”

Zhao Pu turned his face to look at her, and said coldly: "It is precisely because of His Majesty's sudden and unexpected death that the new monarch should ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the dynasty, and someone will preside over the state funeral." ”

"How did Your Majesty die?" Yun Moxi ignored him and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty drank alone last night, and he fell drunk and hit his head, so that he bled too much, and it was too late for the palace people to find out." Zhao Pu said.

"What about the palace guards on duty last night? How could such a large number of people make His Majesty fall? A barrage of questions.

Several other ministers also raised their heads, as if this was also a question that everyone wanted to know, but as soon as they came, Zhao Pu and King Jin did not give them a chance to ask questions, but only discussed the matter of ascending the throne.

Seeing that her tone was not good, Zhao Pu's face was not happy, and seeing that King Jin had no intention of stopping it, he had to reply: "Last night, Your Majesty was in a bad mood and suddenly wanted to drink alone, so he sent away the palace guards and did not let him approach the dormitory. So much so that this happened. ”

"What about Dafoe? I want to see him. ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "These damn fools killed the emperor's brother, and they deserved death for the crime of not serving with all their hearts, and they were executed by this king this morning." ”

"Then there is no proof of death?" She scoffed, guessing it wouldn't be that simple.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Pu said angrily, "Although the county lord is a good product, he doesn't have any official position, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ask the king of Jin like this!" ”

Zhao Guangyi was not very angry, because he didn't care about Yun Moxi, and felt that she couldn't make any waves with a woman with no power or official position.

"Then what does Lord Zhao mean when he said that he would let King Jin ascend the throne?"

Zhao Pu sneered: "This is the queen mother's edict!" ”

Listening to it, my heart jumped, "What did the edict say?"

Zhao Pu glanced at King Jin.

Zhao Guangyi stood up and said: "This matter is sudden, and this king only learned about the queen mother's edict this morning. Just now, Lord Zhao has already read the edict to all the adults. It was very surprising that the royal brother and the queen mother would pass on the throne of this king, and they also felt that the pressure was huge, but for the sake of the stability of the court and the country, they had to obey the edict and accept the mandate of heaven! ”

"Can you give the edict to Yun Xi for a look?"

Zhao Pu sneered: "The adults have already seen it. This edict was written by the Queen Mother herself, and the official wrote that His Majesty personally covered the jade seal and ordered the official to hide it in the gold slot of the vertical arch hall. Just now, I took it out in front of all the adults, and when I read it, I also knew that it was passed on to His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

"Since you have shown Yunxi to all the adults, it doesn't hurt to take a look!"

"The county lord of Yunxi is a woman, and she has no official position, so I am afraid it is not suitable to interfere in court politics."

"If you think Yunxi can't see it, but the queen is here, it's always okay to see the authenticity of the edict, right?" Yun Moxi said coldly.
