Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 44

Zhang Yuan was ordered to personally escort Concubine Qin and Jiang Ping back to Zhenbei Palace.

Chu Yuan then walked directly towards the inner court area and the side hall of Qinzheng Hall.

Xu Chu is the commander of the Imperial Army, and many people in the court now know that Xu Chu is Chu Yuan's man.

Under Chu Yuan's current power, Xu Chu's status in the court has also risen.

The important ministers in the court can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, not daring to offend.

With many forbidden troops serving as eyes and ears, many matters in the court could not be hidden from Chu Yuan's eyes.

Today's court meeting, all the courtiers who are qualified to go to court were summoned to the side hall of Qinzheng Hall.

The matters they discussed were nothing more than the establishment of a new emperor, apart from the funeral affairs of Emperor Jiang Rui.

I heard that even Jiang Rui’s biological mother, the Queen Mother Hua, was present today.

It seems that I can't hold back.

Just as Chu Yuan was heading towards the direction of Qinzheng Hall, he was currently in the side hall of Qinzheng Hall.

There are hundreds of ministers here.

Some important officials of the imperial court, such as the six ministers, the prime minister, the commander of the imperial army, Zong Zheng, the Taifu, etc., were prominently listed.

Not to mention, there is an imperial platform directly in front of the list of important ministers. Climbing up the stairs, at this moment, on the left side of the imperial platform, there is a graceful and luxurious woman.

Although her expression was not good, sitting high above her was none other than the Empress Dowager Hua, Jiang Rui's biological mother.

"Wei Chen agrees with what the Queen Mother said. Now that Your Majesty is dead, his eldest son, King Jiang Yu of Qi, should succeed you!"

"Exactly, King Qi has a good character and is respectful to his brothers and sisters. His Majesty has issued many commendations, which shows his holy heart."

"The enthronement of King Qi as emperor is enough to comfort His Majesty's spirit in heaven."

"Yes, King Qi is indeed the best candidate for the new emperor..."

……

In the main hall, Jiang Rui's national funeral seemed to have been discussed, and the discussion stage for determining the new king was reached.

Naturally, Empress Dowager Hua strongly recommended Jiang Rui's eldest son, Prince Qi Jiang Yu.

Although King Qi is young, he is her grandson after all. He ascended the throne and became emperor. After she was promoted to the Empress Dowager of the Da Cang Dynasty, her status was equally rock-solid.

In addition, King Qi is still young and unable to handle political affairs, so she can temporarily assist the government.

After looking at the royal bloodline of the current Da Cang Dynasty, it was she, the Queen Mother, who supported King Qi.

The strength of his father, the master of Lingxian Pavilion, in the late stage of Guizhen Realm, coupled with the strong support of the royal family, seems to be the number one force after the royal family.

In addition, she has been the master of the harem for so long, how could she not have some background?
If she wants to support King Jiang Yu of Qi to ascend the throne, what will the rest of the royal bloodline do to compete with her grandson?

Things seemed to be developing just as she expected.

After her words fell, the courtiers who had always been attached to the power of the Empress Dowager Hua immediately spoke up to support King Qi's ascension to the throne.

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with voices of agreement.

The matter of establishing a new king seemed to go smoothly unexpectedly.

The aloof Empress Dowager Hua's expression softened slightly at this moment.

However, she knew that it would not be possible to resolve the issue just by relying on the support of some of the fourth- and fifth-grade officials she had arranged.

After all, Jiang Rui did not clarify the position of the prince, which was the biggest flaw.

With the current situation, anyone in the royal family has a chance to ascend to the throne!

"Master, what do you think?"

Empress Dowager Hua's eyes fell directly on an old man wearing official robes, with high eyebrows, rosy complexion, and a rather Confucian style.

The old man's identity was that he was the tutor of Da Cang Dynasty, and he had taught Jiang Rui and Jiang Yu successively.

In a sense, he can be regarded as the teacher of Jiang Rui and his son.

With such a relationship, Tutor Lin Zhiming naturally did not disappoint the Queen Mother Hua.

But he saw that he was polite, then nodded directly, and slowly said:

"The King of Qi is very talented, neither arrogant nor impetuous. He is also very talented in martial arts. If he can ascend the throne, he may become as wise a king as His Majesty in the future."

Seeing Lin Zhiming commenting on Jiang Yu and supporting King Qi's accession to the throne, Empress Dowager Hua's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy.

The boulder in his heart also shifted position, Tai Fu Lin Zhiming made a good start.

Empress Dowager Hua nodded, and her eyes moved again, this time directly falling on the two important ministers who were the leaders of the hundred officials in the court.

Prime Minister Zhang Yuanbo, Du Yushi Zuodu Yushi Guyue!
"Prime Minister, what do you think of the censor of the ancient capital?"

Queen Mother Hua asked.

Zhang Yuanbo heard the sound and bowed slightly to the Queen Mother.

Just when he was about to speak, he saw Gu Yue standing aside, but it seemed that he had not heard the words of Empress Dowager Hua. He was just as stuck in the same place as before, like a piece of wood.

Not to mention saluting the Empress Dowager Hua like him.

This made Zhang Yuanbo swallow deeply the words he was about to speak.

This ancient mountain is very deep in the city. How could you be so disrespectful to the Queen Mother today?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. The truth is, it is better to be careful and speak out.

In addition, his father Zhang Yunyi recently asked him to keep a low profile in the court, so Zhang Yuanbo pretended to keep silent.

The silence between Zhang Yuanbo and Guyue suddenly plunged the entire court into a strange silence.

It also made many courtiers in the court look at the position of the head of the officials one after another, and everyone was a little confused.

They didn't have hallucinations just now!

The Queen Mother is asking the two adults for their opinions.

Why don't you see any response from the two adults?

Empress Dowager Hua also felt a little embarrassed at this moment. From her position, she could see Zhang Yuanbo's actions just now.

He was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Gu Yue's expression and suppressed the words he was about to say.

What do these two people mean?
Empress Dowager Hua felt a little sulky in her heart, but because of their identities, it was hard for her to get angry.

"If both my dear friends have no objections, then I will appoint King Qi as the new king, and he will ascend the throne soon."

Empress Dowager Hua finally spoke again and repeated it.

It is even more focused on the four words "two love ministers", which aggravates the tone.

quiet...

After Empress Dowager Hua finished speaking, the hall was still silent.

Some courtiers couldn't stand it any longer. A few hundred meters away, they could feel the embarrassment and embarrassment of the Empress Dowager Hua at this moment.

Gu Yue slowly opened his eyes while he was resting. The first thing he looked at was a strange glance to the side and he held back his words.

Zhang Yuanbo, who believed in "If he doesn't talk, he will never talk much" couldn't help but secretly thought of an old fox in his heart.

Finally, when the Empress Dowager Hua was about to get angry, she said in a nonchalant manner: "His Majesty suffered a sudden misfortune, and he did not establish his position as Crown Prince during his lifetime."

"So among the direct bloodline of the emperor, many of the former emperor's descendants should have the opportunity to ascend the throne and become emperor."

"At this time, the Queen Mother wants to push King Qi to the throne. I'm afraid it's unfair."

"Let's wait a little longer."

Gu Yue's words finally rang out in the court.

However, the underlying meaning of these words made many people's breathing stop.

Master Gu, what does this mean?
It seems that they are not of the same mind as the Queen Mother. Could it be that she already has a candidate for the new king in mind?
And depending on the situation, it's definitely not Qi Wang Jiang Yu!
