Chapter 900: The Holy Queen and the Son of Heaven
Jinling.
This once glorious capital city is now brewing with countless crises.
From a certain point of view, the accession of the new Son of Heaven to the throne is a compromise made by the Xu family, and it is also a release of goodwill.
But the problem has arisen, since Xu Jingming was 'embraced', there has been some kind of mustard between the clan and the Xu family, and the sequelae soon appeared.
In order to dispel the doubts of the kings, so the prince of Zhou entered Beijing to ascend the throne, but the Xu family did not dare to let go of authority, even if it was the Empress Dowager Xu, now 'successful fame', originally in her plan, once the Son of Heaven was selected, she could retreat behind the scenes, live in seclusion in the deep palace, and hide her fame, and the Xu family did not have to take charge, so naturally because of this time Conglong became a first-class family in the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that since that persuasion, the situation of the Xu family has been precarious, of course they can give up all their rights and let the Son of Heaven rule, and then the honor and disgrace of the Xu family will depend on the slaughter of the new Son of Heaven. Merely...... The Xu family doesn't dare to bet, who knows if the Son of Heaven will settle accounts in the future? Who knows if the Son of Heaven will suspect that the Xu family had the intention of usurping the throne? It was only because the ministers and vassal kings opposed it that they dispelled their thoughts. This is an inexplicable bad debt, and once the seeds of doubt are planted, then they will take root and sprout unstoppably, and finally make bitter wine, and the future will ......... What will happen to the Xu family?
There is no answer, because of this answer, no one can answer.
The Son of Heaven may give the Xu family a lot of privileges, may have a very honorable status for the Empress Dowager Xu, and may greet Xu Jingming with a smile, but what about the heart of the new Son of Heaven? Just as no one will know what Xu Jingming had in mind when he persuaded him, no one will know what the new emperor will think. Perhaps behind that smile there is a murderous intention. Perhaps behind that honor, it is actually the beginning of burying the Xu family in the future.
The Xu family did not have a clear answer. Since there is none, then his fate has to be in his own hands. At this point, the Empress Dowager Xu and Xu Jingming had a tacit understanding, and the Empress Dowager Xu, in the name of the young Son of Heaven, often asked some military and political affairs in the palace, and Xu Jingming naturally became the governor of the new army, became an auxiliary minister, and firmly grasped the military and political power in his hands.
At this time, the authority is like a hot potato, holding it in your hand, which makes the Xu family feel uneasy. But they don't dare to throw it away, they can't do it if they don't catch it, and if they let go, it may be a catastrophe.
And what about the Son of Heaven and the clan?
The Xu family was in power and refused to let go, which naturally caused their dissatisfaction, although the new son of heaven was benevolent and served the Empress Dowager Xu like a mother, and greeted them sooner or later. is also affectionate to this auxiliary minister, but everyone understands that the new emperor is extremely dissatisfied, and he regards the Xu family as Cao Cao and Wang Mang.
The feudal kings and the clan have been brewing discontented feelings. There is a big trouble in the heart of the Hao family outside, and there is the dictatorship of the Xu family inside, which makes them feel that the country of their ancestors is in danger. They didn't act rashly, but they were full of suspicion. Always be prepared for the unexpected.
This is an extremely bad situation, and many ministers see the crux of the problem. But they can't help it, they are worried, knowing that such suspicion will only make the Hao family profit from it, but after losing the foundation of trust, the Xu family does not dare to let go of power, and the clan must beware of the Xu family, even if the Xu family releases power, shouldn't the Xu family be wary of the Son of Heaven?
In this sharp contradiction, it is always peaceful, ominous and not possible, because the pressure of the Hao family is too great, and the gentry need everyone to unite.
Everyone is pathetic, and the sad thing is that everyone's original intention is to protect themselves, but this protection is a hidden danger that makes them fall into the abyss.

Empress Dowager Xu is indeed sick, it is said that she is very sick, but even if she is seriously ill, she still cheers up and lets Gao Jin keep abreast of the situation in the court.
This is the helplessness of the Empress Dowager Xu, but there is no way at all, her brother is almost dead, and the Xu family will continue.
In order to take care of the Empress Dowager Xu, he even slept in the side hall of the Wanshou Palace at night, and arrived at the Empress Dowager's dormitory early in the morning to inquire about the condition.
"Mother, are you feeling better?" Zhu Youstew is not very old, but in the year of his establishment, there is a kind of stability that surpasses that of people of the same age, he looked at the Empress Dowager Xu with sincere care in his eyes, carefully tucked the brocade quilt for the Empress Dowager Xu, and asked quietly.
"It's rare that you have a heart, you are the Son of Heaven, and the responsibility is heavy, how can you accompany the mourning family here every day, you, you are too pure and filial, it is said that you didn't sleep all night last night? His Majesty must take care of the dragon's body. ”
Zhu Youstew shook his head stubbornly, and said: "The sons and daughters received the great favor of the queen mother, and the dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, the queen mother was critically ill, how could the sons dare to leave without permission." ”
As he was talking, Gao Jin came in cautiously and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, the new letter from the cabinet said that Hao Fenglou immediately brought the princess of Jingguo to Beijing and set off. ”
When Empress Dowager Xu heard this, she immediately cheered up, and she couldn't help laughing: "He really came, this is a blessing for the court." Empress Dowager Xu looked at Zhu Youstew and said: "Your Majesty, Langshan is a problem in the heart, although this Hao family is called a minister, but sooner or later it will be a big disaster, the mourning family called him into Beijing, not to be unfavorable to him, first, I really want to see him, and second, I hope that he will stay in Beijing, so that he can serve the court and share worries for His Majesty." ”
Empress Dowager Xu's words are actually her vision, seeing that Langshan's strength is getting bigger and bigger, Empress Dowager Xu is also heartbroken, if Hao Fenglou can enter Beijing this time, it would be great, of course she didn't dare to do anything to Hao Fenglou, but keeping this guy in Jinling, for the imperial court, is a gold medal for avoiding death, this Hao Fenglou is Hao Zheng's only son, and he is a first-class hero of Langshan, and Hao Fenglou will be treated preferentially in Beijing, given him brocade clothes and jade food, and raised in captivity, then the court will have no worries.
