Mr. Feng slammed his palm: "So it is difficult to do it. The prince has just been deposed. If he is appointed as the new emperor, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. I am afraid that the people of the world will poke me in the back and say that your majesty's body is not cold yet. This should not be done."

Go against his will soon."

"The second prince's qualifications are not bad, but Concubine Xiao has been dominating the palace for many years and has a lot of power of her own. Qi Guogong was running the business in the previous dynasty and had countless followers and followers. If the second prince ascends the throne, the influence of his relatives will probably overwhelm the clan."

"As for the third prince, he is a good person and does not have a messy family, but his body is not good! As a saint, you have to endure twelve hours a day, at least seven or eight hours, to approve memorials.

Whether we can save our lives in a year or two is another matter."

"I have no intention of considering the remaining two princes. They are not the direct descendants or the elders. They ascended the throne in an unjustified manner. If they are worthy people, it would be fine. But they are just babies. They don't even have all their teeth.

You can tell what is good and what is bad."

"We can't first appoint a regent to take charge of him for a few years, and finally return the power to him, right? The current mess cannot be solved by the baby and the regent."

When the regent was mentioned, all the princes were a little moved. Only Prince Fu said lukewarmly: "If we want to choose a regent, only Prince Qi can take on the important task. You should not rebel because of your advantage. This won't work."

Who doesn't want to be the emperor? Although they are discussing and choosing the right candidate, except for King Fu, all the kings are thinking about how to do it more beneficial to themselves? If the throne is out of reach, shouldn't they be allowed to get a share of the pie?

As a result, everyone was red-faced and red-faced.

After Mr. Feng raised the topic, he folded his hands and closed his eyes, as if he was lost in thought, but in fact he was waiting for time to pass - as long as Lu Mingyong arranges everything, who will be the emperor, are the opinions of these princes still useful?

Let’s fight!

It's best to fight until your face turns red and your neck is thick, but you still can't get a result.

Qingning Palace.

All the concubines were sleeping, but the confinement of the palace welcomed two unexpected people - the eldest princess and her consort Shen Qingci.

The Queen Mother was lying on the imperial concubine, holding her head with one hand. It was obvious that she was exhausted both physically and mentally, but she did not dare to shed a tear for her newly bereaved son.

If she falls, who will control this huge harem?

Seeing the princess pushing the prince-in-law in, she slowly raised her eyelids and asked, "Who asked you to come?"

The eldest princess did not speak, but the prince-in-law replied: "Your Majesty, I have been entrusted by Prime Minister Feng to come here to deliver a message to your mother."

"Feng Xiang?" The Queen Mother's expression did not show any surprise. A prime minister who has been a prime minister since he was in his twenties is more than capable of handling this kind of thing. What she is concerned about is who Feng Xiang supports, "What letter does he want to send to the Ai family?"

?”

The prince-in-law has clear and bright eyebrows, and is as gentle as jade like a humble gentleman. Even though his body is disabled, he still has a graceful demeanor, and the demeanor of Tan Hwa Lang has not diminished by half.

He said calmly: "To be honest with the Queen Mother, Your Majesty sent your ministers and King Shen to recover Feng Xiang. Feng Xiang once suffered a thrilling assassination. It was Princess Qi who came all the way to save Feng Xiang's life.

Feng Xiang naturally supports King Qi from the bottom of his heart!"

"Moreover, King Qi has both political integrity and talent. If he ascends the throne, he will be favored by the public. However, he is still returning to Yancheng to defend against the enemy. The situation cannot wait for his return, so we must choose a new emperor from among the princes."

The Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows and said feebly: "Who do you like?"

The eldest princess's consort said: "Returning to the Queen Mother, your Majesty's wishes are with you."

The Queen Mother sat up straight and frowned: "Second brother? How could Feng Xiang like him?"

The eldest princess's consort replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, Prime Minister Feng thinks that the Second Highness has the purest mind."

The Queen Mother was puzzled: "Second child? Isn't the third child more..."

The eldest princess's consort didn't say much, and just said: "This is what His Highness King Qi means."

King Qi's intention was to dispel all the Queen Mother's doubts in one sentence. She asked: "You are here late at night, so you must have something important to do, right?"

The eldest princess consort said: "As the saying goes, 'As soon as you reach the great treasure, the love between six relatives will be unparalleled.' What Feng Xiang means is that if His Highness the Second Highness is really allowed to become the lord of ten thousand times, if the imperial concubine and the Duke of Qi are still alive, I am afraid that His Highness the Second Highness will take power.

It’s in the way. Queen Mother, this matter requires your decision.”

"Choice?" The Queen Mother suddenly sneered, but tears slid down her cheeks, "The Ai family just died, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man. However, the Ai family's good daughter and son-in-law came to the Ai family and asked

Do you want to let your brother and niece continue to live? What does Feng Che think of his family? Can he be a Bodhisattva with no waves in his heart even though he can see all the joys and sorrows in the world in the Buddhist hall?"

The expression of the eldest princess's consort did not change, and she still said gently: "Master Qingchen of Puze Temple has just received a hexagram. There is a baby in Prince Qi's palace. It must be Princess Qi."

"Yes?" The Queen Mother's eyes widened in shock. The bowl of poison was harmful to the heirs. When Princess Qi was diagnosed with the Ximai pulse before, she didn't believe it at all. If it was Master Qingchen, it couldn't be true.

.

So, Zhaohua’s poison has been cured?

At this time, the Queen Mother was like a drowning person who suddenly grasped the life-saving straw. The blow of losing a son was instantly relieved a lot.

Seeing the Queen Mother's relaxed expression, the eldest princess consort spoke again: "Queen Mother, King Qi and Your Majesty are brothers. You try your best to maintain the superficial peace between the two brothers. But once Your Highness becomes the new emperor, King Qi will be the new emperor."

Uncle Emperor."

"At that time, we will be separated by one floor. Your Highness the Second Highness recognizes His Highness Prince Qi as his uncle, but does Xiao Guifei recognize him? Does Qi Guogong recognize him? Can the Queen Mother guarantee that Xiao Guifei and Qi Guogong will not be jealous of the virtuous and capable, and take advantage of His Highness Prince Qi's achievements?

Under the banner of Master Gao Zhen, give His Highness Prince Qi..."

"In the past few years, in Northern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, and Yangzhou, which major event that destroyed the world was not the result of King Qi's efforts to turn the tide? Which was the corrupt official or disaster that King Qi did not contribute to?"

"Queen Mother, it doesn't matter who is the monarch of this country. What is important is that the mainstay of King Qi cannot collapse, at least until the next hero appears, King Qi cannot collapse."

The Queen Mother calmed down and carefully thought about the words of the eldest princess's consort. After a while, she stretched her eyebrows and raised her eyebrows and asked: "Without Concubine Xiao and Duke Qi, even if the second son can ascend the throne, won't his power be completely eliminated?"

The eldest princess consort smiled and said: "Queen Mother, the eldest grandson's family will always fight for the power of the eldest grandson's family. I believe you will understand this truth when the late emperor was in power. As long as the eldest grandson's family works together, how can there be a day when the eldest grandson's family loses power?

Having said that, I still ask the Queen Mother to make her own decision. When the Queen Mother clears the obstacles for Her Second Highness, that will be the day when we support Your Highness to ascend the great treasure."

The Queen Mother clenched her fingers, pondered for a long time, and then asked another question: "Consort, tell the Aijia honestly, is it an expedient measure to help the second son ascend the throne? Once Zhaohua calms down the border, you will immediately attack the second son.

, supported Zhaohua to ascend the throne."

"No." The eldest princess's consort replied flatly, but he didn't say another word. He obviously had a lot to say, but he didn't seem to bother to speak.

The eldest princess, who had been silent for a long time, raised her eyes and said: "Mother, if you can't trust these ministers, don't you still trust Zhaohua? It's not that Zhaohua has no ability to cause trouble in these years, but you, the old man, should see what he did.

."

The Queen Mother said: "This is not necessarily the case. You were just worried that the second child would attack the emperor's uncle, but you are not worried that the emperor's uncle would attack the second brother?"

The eldest princess's consort said: "Your Majesty, my son and Ah Rong are just here with a message. As for how to judge and choose, that is not something that my son and Ah Rong should get involved in."

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, beckoned to Aunt Jingxin, and whispered in her ear: "Take the bottle of wine that I have collected and send it to the Duke of Qi's palace with Xing Li to tell my brother that the Yi family is ready to support the second son's ascension to the throne.

, make him happy and happy.”

Xing Li is the Queen Mother's personal bodyguard.

The Queen Mother had already made a decision at this time.

Just when Aunt Jingxin rushed to the Qi Duke's Mansion in a hurry, the Zichen Palace was filled with sadness. The three princes who were under house arrest, whether they were real or fake, knelt in front of Emperor Jiayou's body and sobbed softly.

The third prince cried so hard that his eyes were red, an old illness was triggered, and he fell limply to the ground.

When he fell, his right hand hit the bed. No one saw it, but a small black snake crawled out of his sleeve and left Zichen Palace silently.

As for the Yu Mansion, Yu Qian listened to the reports from his servants and finally came to a conclusion: "Our Majesty must be about to die, or has already passed away. Otherwise, the Royal Forest Army and the Qilin Guards would not have made such a movement at the same time. Only
