Feng Mu was in the depths of the Forbidden Palace, and no one knew that he was hiding in the Forbidden Palace. Although the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang were ordered to intercept and kill him, they could not blatantly search in the deep palace.

Therefore, Feng Mu was safe for the time being, and when he didn't have to worry about facing a terrible opponent, Zhu Houxi, who had already come to the capital, seemed extremely anxious and even angry.

Under Yang Tinghe's arrangement, he could only ascend the throne as the prince of Zhu Houzhao, rather than becoming the emperor as the son of King Xingxian.

When he learned that he could only enter through the Donghua Gate and live in the Wenhua Palace, after a long period of travel and travel, he suddenly disappeared invisibly, and he was still a little tired, and suddenly became mentally abnormal.

"Your Highness, this is the arrangement of the cabinet, please don't embarrass me. ”

The deputy commander of Jinyiwei stopped in front of the prince Zhu Houxi, and said respectfully, in his opinion, this person who is about to become the emperor is not as effective as Yang Tinghe.

He would rather offend the future emperor than offend Lord Shoufu, who is now in power. Because the emperor can find another candidate, but Shoufu can cover the sky with one hand.

Faced with such a situation, Zhu Houxi shook his head, as if he had compromised, and said to Lu Bing, a child next to him who was a few years younger than him: "In my opinion, this matter should be forgotten." ”

When the deputy commander of Jinyiwei heard his words, he couldn't help but show a bright smile, and said in his heart This kid really knows the current affairs, a child is a child after all, even if he is a young man and an old man, he is still not the opponent of the old fox in the cabinet.

But Zhu Houxi's next words almost made the deputy commander of Jinyiwei fall to the ground, only to hear Zhu Houyu say lightly: "Clean up." We will dedicate the palace, this emperor is not right. ”

The emperor is inappropriate?

The deputy commander of Jinyiwei couldn't help but squeeze his hand. I felt the pain and reacted. It turned out that it was not that I fell into auditory hallucinations, but that I really heard this sentence.

The throne has been a goal that you have to fight for and win by unscrupulous means, but in recent years, it has made people cry and laugh, and it is understandable that Zhu Houzhao, who died, was stubborn by nature, but this smart child in front of him is not obsessed with the throne at all, which is really incredible.

Lu Bing heard His Highness's order. agreed, and then instructed the accompanying steward to let him command his subordinates and go home.

The deputy commander of Jinyiwei hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said respectfully to Zhu Houxi: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, let your subordinates go and report it, and then make plans." ”

After he finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to go and report that the problem was too big. It's not something that a small deputy commander of the brocade guard can decide.

What he can do is to stabilize Zhu Houxi, and before the cabinet resolution is issued, he can't let this noble little prince leave the capital.

After Yang Tinghe received the report. His brows couldn't help frowning, and then he smiled and said with a smile: "This highness really deserves his reputation. Sure enough, he is young and old, and he is young. With such a mind, in the face of such pressure. It's too smart to be able to deal with it calmly and know how to retreat as advance. ”

His words were only heard by his wife, who had been with him for decades, and this virtuous helper knew that the old man was facing a huge problem, and he did not dare to give advice for him, lest he be disliked.

But she has a very smart son, this person is Yang Shen, the word Sheng'an.

Yang Shen's talent and learning, it is difficult to match the son in the world, the woman looked at the sorrow on Yang Tinghe's face, and it seemed that the wrinkles had deepened a lot, so she said: "Master, I will go to Sheng'an to come, maybe I can share your worries." ”

As he spoke, he put down the meal he served, and planned to go out and tell the family to call Yang Shen, but Yang Tinghe just sighed and said, "That's it, he doesn't know where to go to drink with those friends, let him go, I have already made a decision on this matter." ”

As he spoke, he called the butler and told him to go to the other four members of the cabinet.

When Prince Liang and Jiang Mian and others came to Yang Tinghe's mansion, they naturally knew that the kid was making trouble and was leaving, and in their opinion, Lord Shoufu was only afraid that he would have to discuss with them about finding a new king.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think the Queen Mother has to come forward in this matter, let that kid make a move first, and then we will make plans later. ”

After Yang Tinghe waited for everyone to arrive, he walked out of the inner hall and spoke.

Mao Ji first echoed: "It's all up to Lord Yang, I have no objection." ”

Fei Hong nodded and said, "I second." ”

The other two, Liang Chu raised a question, "I don't know what Lord Yang wants to do?"

Yang Tinghe smiled indifferently: "Pass on the Empress Dowager's decree, and order the ministers to persuade the ministers, I believe that His Royal Highness will not shirk again." ”

When this sentence came out, the other four members of the cabinet nodded, looking at Yang Tinghe's eyes, he was really pleased, because the cabinet was all up to him, and this feeling was better than that of a fairy.

When Yang Tinghe's cronies saw the Queen Mother, they saw the graceful and luxurious old woman, with an angry face, as if they were going to drag him out and kill him.

Yang Tinghe's cronies said their intentions, but the Queen Mother snorted coldly and said: "Since Lord Yang has already made such a decision, why did he send you to tell the mourning family, he is the head of the cabinet, after the death of the emperor, the entire court is only looking at him, can't he solve this little thing?"

His cronies naturally knew that this was the Queen Mother's angry words, and he hurriedly explained: "Although Lord Yang is in power, he knows how to advance and retreat very well. ”

This sentence is said very skillfully, avoiding the important and light, and the sycophant is just right, even if the Queen Mother wants to trouble him, there is no excuse.

After hearing this, the anger on the queen mother's face eased slightly, and looking at the official who was good at words kneeling on the ground, she scolded in her heart: "Yiqiu Zhiyu, what do you think, don't you know the mourning family?"

But the queen mother can't influence the decisions of the cabinet, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the ancestral training, even if the court is at such a time, she also abides by her duties.

But the Queen Mother didn't want to announce the decree, in her heart, the best candidate for the throne was not Zhu Houxi, the son of King Xingxian, but the child of the emperor who was in exile.

The Queen Mother didn't even know if the emperor had named him, she only knew that his name was Feng Mu, thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart: The dignified prince didn't have a name that belonged to the royal family, which was a great shame.

But for now, the most important thing is to find that child as soon as possible, and then restore his identity and let him inherit the throne. But the Queen Mother also knows that it is difficult for the cabinet to approve her own idea.

Seeing that the Queen Mother did not react, the officials who came to meet her couldn't help but shout a few respectfully, the Queen Mother came back to her senses and waved her hand to let the person retreat first, she was a little unwell and wanted to have a good rest.

The official had no choice but to withdraw, and then told the words and deeds of the Queen Mother to Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet. After Yang Tinghe heard this, he said calmly: "It's okay, this is just the Queen Mother's delaying tactic, since she wants to delay time, we will push her." ”

After saying this, Yang Tinghe ordered the man to come close to his side, and the man understood and approached Yang Tinghe's side, Yang Tinghe whispered in his ear: "Find more officials to persuade the Queen Mother, I believe that soon, the Queen Mother will issue a decree." ”

The man took the order and left, Yang Tinghe sat in the empty room, and suddenly wanted to practice calligraphy, so he shouted loudly, but it was his son Yang Shen who walked in.

"Where have you been these days, and you are often missing?"

Yang Tinghe looked at his son, who was full of wealth, and asked, in his opinion, when he was still in the position of first assistant, his son could sit back and relax, but once he stepped down from this position, then Yang Shen would face a huge crisis.

Knowing that the son is not as good as the father, Yang Tinghe will not know that his son is only eight fights, and he may be a first-class good hand in poetry, but if you want to talk about the power struggle of the imperial court, the son who has not experienced the ups and downs of the sea may not be the opponent of those old foxes.

Yang Shen heard his father's question, walked to his desk, rolled up his sleeves and sharpened the ink for him, and said respectfully: "Back to my father's words, the child met a wonderful person a few days ago, and he was able to understand the heavens, so that the child wanted to hear about our fate from him. ”

Hearing his son's naïve words, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but smile indifferently, he has been an official for decades, he doesn't believe in any destiny, he believes in the way of Confucius and Mencius, and he believes that fate is in his own hands.

What is the Mandate of Heaven, even the support of the emperor is in his hands, and he is the Mandate of Heaven.

This is what Yang Tinghe thought at this time, Yang Shen patiently sharpened the ink for his father, and did not ask about the affairs of the imperial court, since his father had made a decision, he was not attached to power, so he naturally did not have much interest.

Several more officials asked the Queen Mother to give an order, and the Queen Mother was annoyed, she knew that as long as she did not compromise, those people would linger and constantly come to disturb her.

"Is this what is called fate?"

The Queen Mother looked up at the sky and couldn't see anything, there were a few clouds in the clear sky, but she couldn't see the fate of the empire from it, and she didn't know how much impact her decision would have.

"That's it, so be it, not being the emperor, maybe for him, it's a kind of detachment. ”

The Queen Mother muttered, thinking of his own emperor, he also didn't like to be an emperor, but longed for those days of freedom.

When the emperor took over the throne from his father, he was still young, and Feng Mu at this time was a few years younger than Zhu Houzhao back then, so the queen mother was worried that he would follow in Zhu Houzhao's footsteps, so she made the final decision.

Yan Guan took the Empress Dowager's decree and went to see Yang Tinghe with satisfaction, and after Yang Tinghe knew this structure, he showed a hesitant smile on his face, and then ordered someone to go and announce the decree.

Zhu Houxi received a note in the suburbs, and in the decree of the Empress Dowager, the cabinet made concessions, he could enter from the Daming Gate, and then he would be enthroned in the Fengtian Palace. Zhu Houxi was very satisfied with this result, so he knelt down and thanked him, and ordered his subordinates to enter the palace from Daming Gate.

At this time, a eunuch begged to see the Queen Mother and asked her to go to the Forbidden Palace with her to see Feng Mu. (To be continued.) )
