The Queen Mother went out of the West Three Institutes, it was already midnight, the snow had stopped, and the night sky was full of stars, the Queen Mother breathed cold air, looking at the stars in the sky through the bright lanterns, Tang Wufu offered a big coat, and said quietly, "The sedan chair has been prepared, Niangniang, let's go back to the palace to settle down." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Don't go back to the palace," the Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, the cold night stimulated her mind, and her originally muddy thoughts became clear, "I want to accompany the emperor, just rest in the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

The Queen Mother got on the sedan chair, staggered on the sedan chair in a daze, and when she arrived at the door of Yangxin, two fully armored generals knelt on the ground, "The last general will see the Queen Mother!" ”

It was Wu Yundi and Rong Lu, the Queen Mother got off the sedan chair, "The soldiers have been brought?" ”

"I have listened to the orders of the Queen Mother, and three thousand people have entered the palace!" Wu Yundi said loudly, "Please give an order to the Queen Mother!" ”

"You take people to control all the eunuchs in the funeral office, and no one is allowed to escape," said the Queen Mother, "and arrange for soldiers to strictly guard each gate, and no more than ten people are allowed to enter the Forbidden City without an order from the palace." ”

"Huh!"

Wu Yundi turned to leave, and the Queen Mother looked at Rong Lu, "You come in with me." ”

The Queen Mother entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, sat on the kang in the east room, supported her head with her hand, and Tang Wufu took the tea and came up, "You go down." ”

The Queen Mother looked at the silver candlestick on the kang table blankly, the red candles on it flickered, shining on the Queen Mother's face gloomy and uncertain, Rong Lu looked at the side face of the Empress Dowager Cixi sadly, "Queen Mother, please mourn." ”

"What do you do to mourn, human nature is meant to be cathartic," the Empress Dowager Cixi said leisurely, "I hold back everything, even if I can't stand it with iron, let me be sad for a while." ”

Rong Lu said "yes", he stopped talking, just silently accompanyed, the Empress Dowager Cixi took the bowl and prepared to drink tea, the heat in the bowl was rushed, and the tears in her eyes flowed down, Rong Lu took two steps forward, "Queen Mother," and then woke up to her identity, and took a step back, "Don't be too sad, it's not good to break your body." ”

Cixi wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I asked you to come in, firstly, to guard the forbidden area, and secondly, to ask you what you mean, the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to do it, and what will he do next about this throne." ”

"What does the Queen Mother mean? The minions all listen to the Queen Mother. ”

"My heart is very chaotic, I don't know what to do, so listen to what you mean." The Queen Mother leaned cross-legged against the window and said silently.

"The emperor doesn't have a prince yet, so he can only succeed him," Rong Lu said, "It's just that there is no suitable one in this next generation." ”

"The Emperor has children," said the Queen Mother, "and the Empress is three months pregnant." ”

。。。。。

Prince Gong rested in his own duty room in the military aircraft department, this night, no one could sleep, or Shen Guifen felt younger, persuaded a few old ministers to rest, only Prince Gong and Shen Guifen sat opposite, Prince Gong couldn't sleep, and drank a sip of very strong tea, "There is no one else here, Xiaoshan, you have an idea, you have seen the emperor's appearance, what should you do next?" You have to set up a queen for the emperor, right? ”

"That's the reason, we can prepare, but the Queen Mother is not willing to mention it yet," Shen Guifen said, "Lord Wang, look at this matter, do you want to let the Queen Mother make up your mind first?" ”

"The Queen Mother is sad, who called her...... Hey, don't talk about this," Prince Gong sighed, "Let's talk about our own, there are no outsiders, let's discuss it ourselves." ”

"If you want to stand, of course, it is the great-grandson of Lixuanzong. Xuanzong has one, and there are only two people in the "Pu" generation. ”

"You mean Baylor Zaiji?"

"Yes, Xuanzong's eldest grandson, Beile Zaizhi has two sons, and according to family law, he can only take his second son, Pu Kan, who was born for only eight months, as the heir to the emperor."

"But Zaizhi is not the eldest grandson of Xuanzong." Prince Gong frowned, the statement here is really too big, Xuanzong's eldest son is called Yiwei, who died in the eleventh year of Daoguang and was twenty-four years old. After Wenzong ascended the throne, he posthumously presented his eldest brother as the king of the county. The king of Yinzhi County had no son, and Xuanzong somehow picked Zaizhi, the great-grandson of Yongzhang, the third son of Emperor Qianlong, and succeeded Yiwei as his son. And Zaizhi is not Yongzhang's great-grandson, Yongzhang has no children, with the second son of Prince Cheng Yongyi as his son, Mianyi gave birth to Yiji, Yiji gave birth to Zaizhi, that is, Zaizhi is actually a nominal descendant of Xuanzong, but in fact, the descendants of Renzong are not counted, therefore, if Pu Kan is established as the emperor, once "something happens", the throne will be transferred to a prince. In view of the fact that the Ming Dynasty offered the son of Wang Shizi to become the Jiajing Emperor, and as a result, even Xiaozong was renamed the "imperial uncle", and the eleventh son of the Qianlong Emperor became the heir of Prince Yongzheng in the future, and the blood worship of Lian Renzong is also in doubt. Therefore, it is conceivable that the descendants of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Renzong branch, such as Wang Yixiang of Huijun, will not approve.

Of course, I don't want to, "No, no." ”

"But there is no one else in the Puzi generation." Shen Guifen said, "In addition, there is also a suitable person." ”

"Who?"

"The eldest brother in the prince's mansion, Zai Cheng ......"

"What words!" Prince Gong's heart fluttered, and he interrupted Shen Guifen's words, "He and the emperor are the younger brothers of the same generation!" How to pass! ”

"It's the Fujin of the King of Zai Cheng County, isn't she pregnant with one in her belly? If a little brother is born, he is the best candidate. Shen Guifen said quietly, "This is the best candidate." This is the most authentic Tianhuang noble, and the children of Zaizhi are naturally incomparable. ”

"It's still in the belly, how do you know if it's a man or a woman?" Prince Gong waved his hand, "This matter is not in a hurry. ”

"But the emperor can't wait, hey," Shen Guifen was about to say something, but footsteps sounded outside, "Lord Wang." ”

Prince Gong tilted his face, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Fengtai battalion has sent soldiers in, and now it is taking over the palace ban, and there are many soldiers surrounding the military aircraft department."

"This? Hey, it's also the right thing to do, don't worry about it. Prince Gong sighed, "The ghost of Deling, the Queen Mother must also suspect me, I can't make any small moves at this time, wait for the news of the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

The Queen Mother didn't know how long she had been sleeping, but she felt that she had been having nightmares, and dimly heard Tang Wufu shouting to herself, she woke up suddenly, and in a moment understood what she was sleeping in, "What's wrong?" How is the emperor's health? ”

"The emperor woke up and shouted Niangniang."

The Queen Mother brushed the ground and lifted the quilt, the palace maids put a dress on her, Tang Wufu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the bean blue woven gold pillow that the Queen Mother slept on had large water stains on it, and the Queen Mother was about to cry in her sleep.
