In the Zilan Palace, with Dou Fu'an's departure, it fell silent again.

The concubine knelt on the ground and muttered to herself: "Mother, my daughter is not filial, so I can't say goodbye in person...... The saint has collapsed, and the daughter knows that she can't protect herself, and she doesn't want to be insulted and despised by Webster to continue this walking corpse...... Webster's forced palace can only be concealed for a while, and once his daughter dies, it will attract slander to question Webster's usurpation, although it is not able to turn the tide, it will eventually ensure the safety of King Jin, as long as King Jin is alive, there is still hope...... Mother, my daughter doesn't regret dying like this, but I regret that before she dies, she can't see her mother again......"

Finally got up, held a candle, the woman looked beautiful under the brilliant lights, she didn't even look around the hall again, and lit the hanging curtain without any thoughts, between the flames, the figure of the slender long skirt dragged to the ground, the woman did not look back, did not hesitate, a lamp and candle were thrown by her casually, and she finally walked to the depths of the palace.

Sitting upright on the soft couch of incense, the last lamp and candle light the light gauze tent.

She smiled and watched the splendid and magnificent burn to the ground, imagining the collapse of the high hall and the scorched earth.

May my flesh and bones turn into ashes and scatter with the wind, and finally get rid of this cold forbidden palace completely, and my soul can be free.

Dou Fu'an had just returned to the Zichen Palace, and was busy adding oil and vinegar to his best to manipulate his lips and tongues, striving to incite the queen mother's anger to kill the concubine, when he suddenly heard the exclamation, and hurriedly ran out of the palace to inspect, only to see a fire in the northwest burned red gloomy clouds, he staggered, and suddenly was full of cold sweat.

"What the hell did you say to the Liu family?!" For the first time, the angry Queen Mother had the hatred and anger of wanting to kill her henchmen on the spot.

And because of the Empress Dowager's urgent edict, the princes of the clan who rushed to the Zichen Hall from the Prince's Courtyard in the middle of the night but were kept hanging in the East Side Hall were also anxious because of this sudden fire, some people questioned loudly, some people thought silently, and some even almost clashed with the guards.

Eleven Niang was also shocked when she heard the news of the Zilan Palace, and it was only then that she thought that the concubine might not have any intention of protecting herself at all, from the very beginning, she planned to end her life in this tragic way, and exchange her own way for a glimmer of life for King Jin.

She looked at the sky-high flames and clenched her fists again.

The cold woman, though arrogant and silent, seemed to have no friendship, but in fact they cherished each other.

Especially after she regained her life, since she re-entered the court, the concubine's maintenance and care everywhere made Shi Niang even more grateful.

But on this night, she could only watch the concubine's life die in the flames, and the only thing she could do was to cry for her.

Because of this fire, Empress Dowager Wei was forced to the point where she had to make a painful decision, at such a critical moment, she naturally didn't care about comforting Eleven Niang, and urgently ordered all the ministers of the political hall to gather in Zichen Hall to discuss countermeasures, so several ministers finally learned that the Son of Heaven died in time, and the only concubine who knew about the whereabouts of the national seal died by self-immolation, and they were stunned on the spot for a while, and even Yuan Dezhi, who was secretly glad because he learned that Yichuan's plan had succeeded, was no longer happy, although the Son of Heaven died, the successor to the throne was undecided, If the Queen Mother loses power at this time, won't they become a waste of water for others to make wedding dresses and bamboo baskets?

It was Xie Raoping who reacted first, and analyzed: "Judging from the current situation, the national seal should still be in the Zichen Palace, and sooner or later it will be found, as long as it can temporarily appease the ...... of the clans."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Yuanping hurriedly dismantled the stage: "Aren't these nonsense?" The key is how to appease the clans, didn't Xiang Xie witness it earlier, the princes were already boiling over the discussion, and they were about to break out into a riot?! ”

Mao Wei saw that Xie Xiang was refuted, and subconsciously was still eager to support: "Although the Holy Testament has not been sealed, as long as we claim to have heard about the Holy Decree on the spot, but it has not been sealed, and the National Seal is privately possessed by the concubine, it may not be impossible to convince the public." ”

Because Lu Li, who had been involved in the Zichen Palace, although he was only a small living man at this time, but because of his special role, he was also "lucky" to participate in this discussion, he heard Mao Wei's fallacy, and did not hesitate to interject: "The Queen Mother is Rongyu, Mao Xiang's words are very inappropriate." ”

Mao Wei immediately blew his beard and glared: "Xue Shilang, the prime ministers are discussing politics, how can you interject?" ”

Wei Yuanping regarded Lu Li as his own person at this time, and stiffened his neck: "Xuanzhi is a living man, and he has been on duty in Zichen Hall these days, isn't he more clear about the situation than us, and at the moment of emergency, isn't it true that Mao Xiang only cares about the importance of grades?" ”

Seeing that her henchmen were still busy pinching each other at this time, the Queen Mother became more and more impetuous, and slapped her on the case: "Shut up for me!" Only then did he look at Lu Li: "Xue Xuanzhi said that it was okay, what was wrong with Mao Wei's recommendation?" ”

was actually called by the queen mother by name and surname in front of everyone, Mao Wei's heart tightened, and then received a warning look from Xie Raoping...... Really grow the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige.

Lu Li ignored Mao Wei's feelings at this time, and already said: "The Holy Lord once ordered to ban the Zichen Palace, leaving only the King of Jin, the concubine, and Lan Jieyu to serve on the side, so it also caused the Queen Mother to misunderstand that there was someone behind the misdeeds, and ordered the Xiaowei soldiers to confront Baiyingwei, although this matter was not known by the clan for the time being, but it could not be leaked in the future, if it was really according to Mao's advice, wouldn't it lead the clan to question it?" Originally, the Holy Lord was sober in time and ordered the lifting of the ban to quell the fighting, maybe it would turn into a forced palace coup, and the Holy Lord's edict would naturally be untenable. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was not angry because of her direct advice, Lu Li became more and more straightforward: "The Queen Mother ordered all the clans to enter the palace yesterday and informed the Holy One that he was in danger, but because the Holy One was asleep, she did not edict the Sects to meet her until tonight, and there was no reason for the Sect to listen to the Holy Precepts before the Sect faced the Holy Family. ”

It is a well-known fact that Xie and Mao and others are the henchmen of the Queen Mother, even if they say the same thing, they can't convince the public, otherwise how can the Queen Mother urgently gather the clan to see after persuading the Son of Heaven? Holding the edict and announcing in public that everything will not be over, this is not to convince people with reason, this is to deter the public, but the Queen Mother is obviously not sure about deterring the public at this time, so she ordered everyone to discuss how to deal with it.

Mao Wei's admonition just now, intending to frame the concubine for rebellion, and let Jing Zhaoliu carry this black cauldron, it is too ridiculous, don't convince the public, it is simply admitting that she is at fault, the concubine was originally self-immolating, if she followed Mao Wei's words, she would have been killed by the Queen Mother immediately.

"Xue Shilang's reminder does make sense." Yuan Dezhi said at this time: "It's just that a few of our foreign ministers are ahead of the clan to face the saint, although it is unreasonable, but Xue Shilang is the saint who personally ordered the living lang, and he has indeed not left the Zichen Hall for the past few days, and I have heard with my own ears that the saint has a will to the king of Jin to listen to the queen mother, and even before the holy guest sky, it is true that Xue Shilang has written an edict, and Xue Shilang will explain the facts in front of the clans, and no one will question it anymore?" ”

This person is good, but he simply wants to choose himself clearly, and let Lu Li face the clan alone to prove the truth of the edict of the Son of Heaven......

Lu Li didn't look at Yuan Dezhi at all, and only told the Queen Mother: "Although the humble position is appointed as the living man, but the duty is limited to recording the words and deeds of the saint, and the edict is beyond the authority. ”

Yuan Dezhi does not understand the legitimacy of the inheritance of the imperial throne, but the Queen Mother knows that what Lu Li said is indeed reasonable, and the edict is the duty of the Chinese scholar, and the special circumstances can be borne by the rest, one of the special circumstances is of course the Son of Heaven himself, but whether it is confessed by the Son of Heaven himself, it is not one or two witnesses who can convince the public, not to mention that the edict is convincing by the edict that has not even been printed by the national seal. To put it bluntly, the record of the living man must be confirmed by the Son of Heaven before it can be handed over to the historian for official record.

"Humble advice, since the situation has reached such a situation, the queen mother can only truthfully inform the clans, although the saint left a will, but before the edict was drafted, he died, and the matter that the national seal was once collected by the concubine must not be publicized." Lu Li said.

Before his words fell, Mao Wei couldn't help but sneer again: "If it is announced that the Holy Lord has not left a testament, how can the sect believe that there was a will?" Those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic will not convince the new monarch. ”

"Not necessarily." Lu Li was confident: "Before the saint was seriously ill, there was a royal decree first, and the military affairs were discussed by the queen mother and the ministers, which is the weight of the emperor's inheritance, and the saint should have consulted with the queen mother, and no one could question it, and also, the saint has no heir, according to the etiquette law, he should have passed on the throne to the king of Jin, but the saint was sober the day before yesterday, and he had personally told the king of Jin to respect the order of the queen mother, if there is a certificate of the king of Jin, I believe that most of the clans, especially Zong Zhengqing, should surrender, as for individual people with bad intentions, under the trend of the times, what is the importance? ”

Let the king of Jin assist the !!

This is a method that the Queen Mother has never considered, and she can't help but hesitate at this time: "If King Jin disobeys the will in public, won't it be even more chaotic?" ”

"King Jin has always respected the Holy Lord, and I believe that he will not disobey the Holy Lord's will." Lu Li insisted.

As long as the Queen Mother agrees to let King Jin assist the certificate, then she will never easily move her killing intent in the future, and King Jin can be safe and stable for the time being.

It seems that there is only this way at the moment, but who will try to persuade He Ye? The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked around, although Dou Fuan was eager to try again and hoped to make up for it, but the Queen Mother remembered the basket he had just poked, and she really didn't dare to hand over the heavy responsibility again, and the rest of the henchmen were all looking down at this time......

If you can't go crazy, at this moment to persuade He Ye's living Hades to give in, who knows if he will be crazy and mess up the mission, not to mention it, maybe his life will be directly cut off in the hands of the Hades, isn't it wronged?

Only Wei Yuanping was disdainful of a few of his cowardly comrades, and he straightened his chest with righteousness: "Queen Mother, this discussion was admonished by Xue Shilang, and when the Holy Lord ordered King Jin to respect the order of the Queen Mother, Xuan Zhi was listening to it, so why not let Xuan Zhi go to persuade him?" ”

Lu Li: ......

I thought that Wei Daxiangguo was going to volunteer, but it turned out to be responsible for him, but ...... It is indeed beneficial for him to be the messenger of this message.

At this point, the Queen Mother can only make a desperate bet, if there is no He Ye supporting evidence, if you want to subdue the clan, you must use force, so it will be endless troubles, it is better to listen to the advice and give it a try, because even if He Ye rebels and stirs up noise on the spot, it is just a matter of using force to deter, but if He Ye stands in his own camp, it is possible to successfully calm down the overall situation, especially Na He Qi......

Empress Dowager Wei sneered, although she did not say bluntly that she wanted to establish He Er as the king when she saw the prince of the clan yesterday, and He Qi was still unable to hold it down, but the look of impatience at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes was clear at a glance, and she must be sure that she had cut He Ye to the roots, waiting to use the hidden book as a citation to confirm the usurpation, but I don't know how embarrassed and disappointed he would be when he saw He Ye appear unscathed and obey his queen mother, King Ruyang, who is as ambitious as you, thinking that I would let it go easily?
