Chapter 21 The Establishment of the Crown Prince

Zhu Qiyu stayed in Jingyang Palace for lunch, and as soon as he left the palace gate, he found that someone was coming in a hurry.

The person who came was none other than Kim Young.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Jin Ying, Zhu Qiyu did not dare to slack off.

If Wang Zhen's power is monstrous, then Jin Ying is the real power that is not visible.

Wang Zhen ascended to the sky in one step, but after all, it was a rootless Ping and a sourceless water.

Jin Ying, on the other hand, is working hard with his qualifications step by step.

Jin Ying entered the palace as early as the Taizong Dynasty and served three emperors, from the inner palace supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, to the celebrant supervisor, step by step, every step is blameless.

During the Xuande Dynasty, Jin Ying was already a pivotal figure in the inner court.

With the complete downfall of Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen's sons and grandsons in the inner court were all scattered, and Wang Zhen's forces were completely purged.

Whether it is inside or outside the palace, one radish and one pit, and now most of these vacant positions will be occupied by Jin Ying.

From this point of view, Jin Ying's strength in the palace has risen sharply, and she has really secured the position of prime minister.

"The slave has seen His Highness."

Kim Young didn't smile, panting and saluting.

"Father-in-law is polite", facing this internal official, Zhu Qiyu looked very polite: "Father-in-law is in such a hurry, but the Virgin is in trouble?" ”

Zhu Qiyu knows that a sensitive person like Jin Ying will never come to him in private.

The only possibility is that the Queen Mother wants to find herself.

"Exactly, the Queen Mother ordered Her Royal Highness and the ministers to go to the Wuying Hall to discuss matters.

Lord, Wuying Hall is a little away from here, and Our Lady is sympathetic to the prince and specially passed it on. ”

Jin Ying beckoned, and several little eunuchs stepped forward with their shoulders raised.

Zhu Qiyu presented his shoulders and walked all the way to Wuying Palace.

"Grandpa Jin, the Holy Mother summoned you, why isn't it in Cining Palace?"

Zhu Qiyu had doubts.

Wuying Hall and Wenhua Hall are the left and right side halls of Fengtian Palace, which is generally the place where the Son of Heaven summons his courtiers to discuss matters.

If the son is not here today, the two halls will naturally not be opened.

Empress Dowager Sun lives in Cining Palace on weekdays, and the number of summons to ministers is not much, and the occasional summons are only in Cining Palace, which is the first time to be summoned in Wuying Palace.

Kim Young only said that he didn't know.

Zhu Qiyu saw that Jin Ying was pretending to be confused, and he didn't ask too much.

The Wuying Palace is just a side hall, and it is not big.

When Zhu Qiyu entered, there were already several people in the head, all of whom were famous and surnamed people in the court.

Zhu Qiyu took a look.

Jin Lian, Wang Zhi, Yu Qian......

When Zhu Qiyu entered the hall, the hall was very quiet, and the atmosphere was quite strange.

Obviously, everyone is not sure about the inexplicable summons of Empress Dowager Sun today.

Jin Ying said goodbye and stood behind the Empress Dowager Sun, looking at her nose and her nose at her heart.

Empress Dowager Sun sat on the top seat, her face was ancient and waveless, and she didn't see the slightest emotion.

But if you take a closer look, Empress Dowager Sun's face can't hide her haggardness, and her eyes are slightly red and swollen.

Several ministers sat down, all frowning and looking depressed.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu come in, they all got up and bowed.

Zhu Qiyu bowed his hand in return, and then stepped forward and bowed to the Empress Dowager Sun.

"Erchen Qi Yu, see the Holy Queen Niangniang."

In terms of etiquette, Empress Dowager Sun is indeed Zhu Qiyu's mother-in-law.

"Excuse me, sit down."

In front of the courtiers, Empress Dowager Sun has always been graceful and generous.

The chamberlain brought up a soft couch again.

"Did the mourning family hear that you went to visit your mother?

Your mother's body is okay, huh?

This person is old, and the weather has become colder, so he can't be careless.

When the first emperor left, he was still thinking about you two mothers, and the emperor was also thinking about your brother and aunt when he left Beijing, and he wanted to take good care of your mother and son.

You, a good boy, have nothing to do to see your mother, and persuade her, the mourning family told her a few times, Jingyang Palace is not suitable for raising, come to Cining Palace and mourning family to be a companion, talk, this is not very good. ”

Empress Dowager Sun is worthy of being the champion of the last palace fight, and she is like a virgin in a few words.

No wonder she was able to win the favor of the first emperor for many years, and the first emperor was able to abolish the mother of the country for her, and she was really not an ordinary person.

Just a few words, Zhu Qiyu listened to it very much, and felt a little disgusted in his heart.

It is only in front of the ministers that the Queen Mother will put on such a loving appearance.

"Thank you for the Virgin's mother, but the queen mother has lived in Jingyang Palace for many years, and if she has feelings, I'm afraid it's ......"

Zhu Qiyu pretended to be embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Sun smiled and said, "Since you are used to it, you don't force it", and then there is no follow-up.

The two tacitly staged a scene of heavenly harmony in front of several ministers.

Several elite ministers also saw through it without saying anything.

At this juncture, the filial piety of the mother and son on the face is much better than the two tearing their faces.

"The mourning family has summoned you today, because there are a few things to discuss with your ministers."

As soon as Empress Dowager Sun spoke, she set the tone.

As the saying goes, the bigger the meeting, the smaller the matter, the small will decide the big thing, and the big thing will be the big thing.

"This first thing is the matter of Jinyi Weidu commanding the selection of envoys."

Empress Dowager Sun threw out the first topic.

Since Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was beaten to death in the Fengtian Temple, Wang Zhenyu's party among the Jinyi Guards was vigorously purged.

Now Jinyiwei only relies on a southern town to take charge of the matter, and it is almost suspended.

Restoring the normal operation of Jinyiwei is now also a top priority.

The crowd was silent.

What is Jinyiwei?

That was Wenchen's sworn enemy.

Wang Zhi and they are all civil ministers, and Jinyiwei is precisely the emperor's minions and used to spy on them.

"King Yu, you have a suitable candidate."

Empress Dowager Sun directly called Zhu Qiyu's name.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't pretend to be dead, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Everything depends on the Holy Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Sun seemed to be determined to hand over this matter to Zhu Qiyu: "The mourning family is a woman's family, how can you know this?"

Since there is no suitable candidate for King Yu for the time being, then go back and think about it, and the matter will be handed over to King Yu. ”

Seeing what Zhu Qiyu was still saying, Empress Dowager Sun waved her hand and blocked it with a sentence: "You are a prisoner of the country, your imperial brother's life and death are unknown now, you are a younger brother, you have to take care of your imperial brother, your imperial nephew will take care of more, and it is appropriate to leave this matter to you." ”

Speaking of the emperor, Empress Dowager Sun unconsciously turned red.

The crowd felt bad for a while.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Sun continued: "How long can the emperor's affairs be hidden from the world?

The court also saw it, and the people were panicked, and the court couldn't be left without an owner.

The meaning of mourning the family, the Ministry of Rites should choose an auspicious day and set up the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince to calm the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Zhu Qiyu was shocked in his heart, sure enough, no wonder Empress Dowager Sun was so generous that she could give herself the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

She wants to get herself to agree to make the prince!
