Chapter 268: Establishing a Prince?
Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother sat on the top, her eyes closed slightly, and she also turned a Buddha bead in her hand, as if she was ignoring everything.
On her left and right sides sat Zhai Hanjing and Lin Qingluan, and further down were several ministers of the court.
Zhai Xiang and Hu Xiang are also listed, six ministries and nine qing, important ministers in the court, and none of them are here.
But at this time, no one spoke, everyone was waiting.
After a while, it was the Queen Mother who said first: "Let the mourning family call the queen and the imperial concubine, and so many people come, is it just to sit?" ”
"Queen Mother, this matter ...... It's hard to speak. Zhai Xiang hadn't seen him for a while, as if he was more than ten years old, and he didn't look at Queen Zhai, but said, "The emperor's illness, can you have eyebrows?" ”
Zhai Hanjing's face was pale and did not answer, while the Queen Mother looked at Lin Qingluan: "Imperial concubine? ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor, there is no reply." Lin Qingluan lowered his eyes and replied.
"A bunch of rubbish!" The Queen Mother said slowly, although her tone was light, it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
Hu Xiang said: "The emperor is seriously ill and can only recuperate. But the kingdom shall not be without a king for a day......"
"What Hu Xiang means, that's what you mean?" The Queen Mother didn't look at everyone, but asked lightly.
Zhai Xiang said: "The emperor has a prince, and there should be a prince to inherit the throne." ”
No one answered, and the Queen Mother also knew what Zhai Xiang meant.
The news of the other palace came day by day, and Shangguan Que, the person who saw that he was going to die, was suddenly able to stand up and walk around, and suddenly he could eat and sleep, as if he couldn't die.
And her royal son is lying in bed day after day, and he can't wake up no matter what he does.
The Queen Mother was simply exhausted, and she knew that the best way at this time was to set up the three princes on the throne.
But the third prince is too small!
At such an age, the slightest wind and grass will be gone, that is, to escort him to the throne, how many days can he be the emperor safely?
When the time comes, will her last grandchild be gone?
Otherwise, let Shangguan Que be the emperor first, that person's body is very poor, and he may not be able to give birth to an heir, maybe he can be willing to raise the three princes well, and then pass the throne to him in the future......
But if the third prince ascends the throne, Shangguan Yan will be a proper emperor, and he can make plans after waking up in the future, but if the throne is given to Shangguan Vacancy, it will really be handed over.
During this time, the Queen Mother was also thinking about these things repeatedly in her heart, and she was in a dilemma, which was really sad.
She was worried, but the queen didn't care, she just sat there indifferently, although she could do anything.
Lin Qingluan lightly tapped her fingers on the armrest of the chair, with a subtle expression on her face, making it impossible to see what she meant.
In fact, although the ministers found the three people in charge of the harem, the only thing they valued was Lin Qingluan's meaning.
After all, the day before yesterday, everyone got the news that Beirong had been reborn, and Lin Yaochen had followed the holy decree issued by Shangguan Yan before yesterday and had set off to return to Beijing.
No one can say how many soldiers Lin Yaochen will bring when he comes back this time, and now no one can control him, everyone came to discuss today, in order to set a king before Lin Yaochen arrived in Beijing, so no matter what, there will always be someone to restrain the Lin family's army.
And Lin Qingluan's attitude today is the most important.
At that time, if the three princes were appointed as emperors, the power in the hands of the ministers could naturally be greater, but if the officials were supported and there was a lack of superiors, then the ministers present would be purged again.
Regardless of this banquet, there are naturally people who have secretly taken refuge in Shangguan Vacancy, and at this time, they also have their own thoughts, so they just keep silent.
The matter reached an impasse for a while, the Queen Mother refused to speak, and everyone did not know how to persuade her.
At this time, Zhai Xiang asked slowly: "I don't know what the queen and the imperial concubine think?" ”
Zhai Hanjing seemed to have just come back to his senses, glanced at everyone, and said in a low voice: "This palace doesn't understand this, just listen to your arrangement." ”
When she said this, the rest of the people were not much surprised, and only looked at Lin Qingluan's face.
Lin Qingluan smiled lightly: "Now that the third prince is already full moon, why don't you invite him and Concubine Yun over and listen to it together?" ”
After speaking, she waved her hand as if she was amused, "Where can this palace manage this, now I just hope that the emperor will get better as soon as possible, and the rest of the things, this palace doesn't understand." ”
The ministers seemed to be reminded, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.
If the three princes inherit the throne, then the queen and Concubine Yun will be the queen mother of the two palaces in the future, and the imperial concubine is now prominent, and she will always be worse than the queen mother in the future.
If there is a lack of superiors, the identities of these harem ladies will be embarrassing, but no matter what, the queen mother and queen can always be honored.
From this point of view, it seems that no matter which side the imperial concubine supports in the future, it will be a defeat.
Then why did Lin Yaochen rush back in such a hurry?
Don't...... The Lin family wants to be the emperor themselves?
Some people have such a stormy thought floating in their hearts, but they don't dare to say anything, they can only desperately suppress it, but they think about what they should do in the future.
And more people seem to think that the Lin family has no such intentions.
Everyone was silent for a while, and they sat in Cining Palace for a while, and when it was time for lunch, the Queen Mother couldn't bear to drive away all the courtiers, leaving only Zhai Hanjing and Lin Qingluan to eat together.
During the meal, the three of them didn't speak, and when the meal was over, the Queen Mother hadn't sent the guests yet, and Lin Qingluan understood what she meant.
It seems that the Queen Mother can't wait, and she has to make a decision today.
Lin Qingluan lowered her eyes, only touched the tea in the cup with her lips, and waited for the Queen Mother to speak.
And then...... The Queen Mother cried.
She talked about Shangguan Yan intermittently, about the fact that it was not easy for their mother and son in the deep palace, and about the help of the Zhai family and the Lin family, their mother and son were all remembered in their hearts.
Lin Qingluan glanced at Zhai Hanjing without a trace, thinking that according to her feelings for Shangguan Yan, she would be moved at least for a moment, but she only saw the mockery on Zhai Hanjing's lips.
Oh?
Lin Qingluan lowered his eyes and secretly hooked his lips.
When you can use it, you will reveal your true feelings, and you will put on your face on weekdays, and it seems that Zhai Hanjing will not eat this set anymore.
She sighed slightly, put down the teacup, and raised a smile: "What does the Queen Mother mean, the concubines listen to the Queen Mother." ”
Back in Wan'an Palace, Lin Qingluan lay on the soft couch after washing, and let Mu Tang pinch her calves.
"Master, the will of the third prince to seal the crown prince has come down."
An Lan walked up to her and said softly.
Lin Qingluan closed his eyes and nodded.
She understood what the Queen Mother meant, seeing that there was such a big Shangguan Yan, she said that she would be recruited, and now she was lying there without dying or alive, and the Queen Mother was afraid, afraid that her only grandson would be like this.
It is said that people become old and fine, and the queen mother is really not bad at all, anyway, the three princes will first seal the position of a prince, and when the time comes, whether the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, or because the prince is young, the crown prince position of the three princes will not change.
She has a good calculation, and Jianzhang Palace is now also sealed by her, just waiting for Concubine Wen to give birth once she wants, and then make another decision.
"Master, the virtuous concubine Niangniang went to Weiyang Palace." Mu Yun came back from outside in a hurry and said in a hurry.
