Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 12 The Queen Mother: You old man, you have gone too far to bully me!
Shenjing City, in the Tai Chi Hall.

As time goes by, the long court will gradually come to an end.

"What else do you have to report?"

Behind the bead curtain, there was an imperceptible trace of fatigue in the voice of the Empress Dowager Xuande.

She is tired, very tired.

She was originally from a small family in the local area, and she didn't have much talent and experience in governing.

In the past six years, she not only had to pull the little emperor and teach him how to handle government affairs, but also had an open and secret confrontation with Huang Jingming, the general of the Fuguo who held the power of the government.

As a mother, Queen Mother Xuande is strong.Under heavy internal and external pressure, her political acumen and skills have made great progress, and she was barely able to fight with the powerful minister to prevent his influence from penetrating into the forbidden area.

But the price was that her proud hair gradually showed traces of gray hair.

Since ancient times, beautiful people are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.

After dreaming back at midnight, Empress Dowager Xuande stroked her proud hair more than once and felt sad.

"Empress Dowager, I have my own performance!"

From below, a voice sounded, interrupting Empress Dowager Xuande's memories and pulling her back into this cruel court.

Empress Dowager Xuande looked through the bead curtain at the ministers under Chi Qi, her eyes locked on one of them.

Censor Zhongcheng Jiang Guangtao!
One of Mr. Huang's lackeys, and the one who barks the loudest!
"Jiang Qing, please speak."

After nearly six years of listening to politics behind the curtain, Empress Dowager Xuande also learned to remain calm when she was happy or angry.

"To the Queen Mother, it has been nearly a month since the Emperor's grand visit. I know that the Queen Mother is grieving in her heart, but I also ask the Queen Mother to put state affairs first. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. Your Majesty had no heirs during his lifetime. As the saying goes, when a great clan dies, the heir is chosen by a virtuous descendant. Therefore, the ministers are bold and ask the Queen Mother to issue an edict to select a virtuous person from the clan to inherit the throne, so that the country can continue, to stabilize the world, and to stabilize people's hearts. "

After saying that, Jiang Guangtao bowed deeply towards the figure on Chiqi, and then walked backwards back to the queue.

coming!

Empress Dowager Xuande's heart sank.

Even though she tried her best to delay, the issue of the new emperor was still put on the table.

Gently exhaling a turbid breath, the Empress Dowager Xuande suppressed her unhappiness, and said lightly:

"What Jiang Qing said is quite reasonable. In that case, please discuss the candidate for the new emperor."

In her opinion, if you want to choose an emperor, you must naturally choose from the many clans in Renzong's lineage.And as long as Renzong's lineage comes to power, she, the queen mother, can still sit firmly on Diaoyutai.

The foundation of these clans in the imperial court is weak. If they don't want to be swallowed whole by Mr. Huang, then teaming up with him is the only choice.

"I recommend Zhao Zhengde, Duke of Yan!"

Among the crowd, a voice broke the silence in the court.

The speaker was Cao Huan, the Minister of Rites.

Zhao Zhengde, Duke of Yan State, was the oldest member of the Renzong clan.

"Although Duke Yan has a virtuous reputation, he is already old."

Wang Meng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, shook his head, obviously not optimistic about this proposal.

Behind the bead curtain, Queen Mother Xuande shook her head slightly and was not optimistic about this proposal. For no other reason than Duke Yan was really a bit old.

If he made a mistake in this position, Da Chu would lose two emperors in a short period of time. How would the surrounding countries view Da Chu?
Do all the countries think that the Great Chu's destiny has been lost, otherwise how could it be so?

By then, the border between Dachu and Chu will probably be clouded again...

Thinking of this, Queen Mother Xuande's evaluation of Cao Huan instantly dropped a lot.

For such a military and national event, such an out-of-the-ordinary idea came up!

After recommending several clans one after another, or being rejected by the minister or the queen mother, Jiang Guangtao coughed lightly, and came out with a wat board in his hand:
"I think that Zhao Yu, the Marquis of An, has a good reputation and is capable of both civil and military skills, so he can be the new king!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the court, and everyone's eyes turned to the tall figure.

An Guohou Zhao Yu?
Behind the bead curtain, Empress Dowager Xuande was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on, and then she was furious.

How dare he? !

The Empress Dowager Xuande trembled slightly, her hands tightly grasped the handrail made of rosewood, and blue veins like thin threads collapsed from the back of her white hands.

"No!"

She gritted her teeth and coldly squeezed out these two words from between her teeth.

For the first time, Empress Dowager Xuande felt deeply regretful for not completely eradicating her gang. At the same time, her hatred for Huang Jingming, the general who served the country, deepened.

"I would like to ask you, Queen Mother, if a humble minister dares to do so, why not? You must know that Marquis An Guo is also of royal blood, and he naturally has the right to inherit the throne."

As a member of the Wuzong lineage, the legal tradition for Zhao Yu to inherit the throne clearly exists.

In other words, he is qualified to be the next emperor.

"An Guohou..."

Empress Dowager Xuande wanted to say that the other party was not a descendant of Renzong, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly realized that if she said so, she would definitely be opposed by the ministers.

After all, the throne of your ancestor Renzong was originally assigned to you by Wu Zong, but now you want to deny the other party's descendants the qualification to inherit the throne. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?
If he really wants to do this, he will only force the neutral factions in the court to side with Old Man Huang!
"I also ask Her Majesty the Queen Mother to speak clearly."

Faced with the hesitation of the Empress Dowager Xuande, Jiang Guangtao made persistent efforts, took advantage of the victory and pursued, pressing harder and harder.

The Empress Dowager Xuande was silent for a moment.

Although she has listened to politics behind a curtain for nearly six years, she is still somewhat slow in responding to certain issues.

"I risk my life and ask Her Majesty the Queen Mother to issue an edict to ask An Guohou to ascend to the throne of emperor, so as to stabilize the country and stabilize the world!"

Jiang Guangtao leaned forward and bowed again!

Jiang Guangtao's move was like a signal flare. Dozens of courtiers stepped out of the queue one after another, stood behind Jiang Guangtao with wat boards in their hands, bowed down, and bowed down!
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Her Majesty the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict, asking the Marquis of An Guo to be the emperor, so as to establish the society and secure the world!"

Forced into a woman, this is forced into a woman!

Facing this scene, Queen Mother Xuande was so angry that her hands trembled.

These courtiers who stood up accounted for nearly [-]% of those who participated in the court meeting!
"Let's discuss this matter again and dismiss the court!"

Holding back the anger in her heart, Empress Dowager Xuande stood up from her chair, glanced coldly at the ministers, turned and walked towards the back of the hall.

"Retreat!"

Wang Lin, Empress Dowager Xuande's personal eunuch, screamed at the top of her lungs, then hunched over and rushed toward Empress Dowager Xuande in front of her in small steps.

"Respectfully send off the queen mother, please make the holy order early!"

Behind him, the voices of a group of ministers could be heard faintly.

Back at Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Xuande was still angry and scolded herself:

"It's simply against them! What else can these bastards do besides hugging Huang Jingming's lap and being a yes man?"

The more she talked, the angrier she became. Empress Dowager Xuande picked up the jade paperweight placed on the corner of the table and threw it to the ground angrily.

Snapped!
"The Queen Mother calm down!"

Regardless of the distress that the jade paperweight carved from fine jade was broken into several pieces, Wang Lin knelt on the ground, not daring to vent her anger.

And not far away, those eunuchs and maids fell to their knees with a "crash".

"stand up!"

Seeing the eunuchs and maids kneeling together, Empress Dowager Xuande became more and more irritable.

She is not a fool, she knows in her heart that in the face of the power of the old man Huang, she, the empress dowager, can only compromise in the end.

But if Zhao Yu comes to power, what will he think when he knows that his parents were killed by her, the Queen Mother?
He might not do anything temporarily because he is afraid that he is the queen mother, but she is the queen mother, and she always leaves before the emperor.

If she gives up and goes west, will Zhao Yu transfer his hatred to her clan?

When she thought of this, Empress Dowager Xuande shuddered.

If she really reached that point, she would really become a sinner of the clan!

Zhao Yu must not be allowed to take over!
As soon as this idea grew in her mind, it took root instantly.

"What are you doing kid?"

The voice of Wang Lin scolding the eunuch rang in the ears of Queen Mother Xuande.

"Wang Lin?"

Hearing the voice of Queen Mother Xuande, Wang Lin first glared at the little eunuch, then hurriedly walked to Queen Mother Xuande, leaned down and whispered:

"The Queen Mother, that boy said that a secret message from the general was delivered."

"Let him bring it, Ai's family wants to see, what does General Huang want to say to Ai's family?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Queen Mother Xuande's mouth.

However, when she took the ensemble from Wang Lin and unfolded it, her pretty face suddenly turned pale.

"Old man, it's too much to bully my family!"

The chest rose and fell sharply, and it took a while for the Queen Mother Xuande, who was shaking the hills in front of her chest, before she gritted her teeth and burst out these three words.

"Miss?"

Wang Lin asked cautiously.

"Let them all go down!" The Empress Dowager Xuande waved her hands wearily.

The maids and eunuchs withdrew one after another, and only the Empress Dowager Xuande and her chief eunuch remained in the entire Compassionate Ning Palace.

"My palace is going to issue an edict tomorrow, so that the Marquis of An Guo will set off immediately, enter Beijing quickly, and ascend the throne!"

The Empress Dowager Xuande let out a deep breath.

"I asked my secret guards to seize the time to find out An Guohou's route to Beijing, and then..."

Empress Dowager Xuande's eyes showed a ruthless look, and she raised her right hand to slash downwards.

"Remember, send more manpower!"

Wang Lin was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly lowered her head and said in a respectful voice:
"Here, the old slave will arrange it now!"

He has been bound with the empress dowager, and there is no other way to go.

Watching Wang Lin turn and leave, the Empress Dowager Xuande sneered in her heart.

Anguohou, Anguohou!
The Ai family can't do anything to old man Huang, but they can't do anything to you?

Mr. Hou, you were lucky enough to escape the disaster last time. The Ai family would like to see if you still have such good luck?

If you die on the way to Beijing, the Ai family will want to see what happens to old man Huang?

The Ai family has already made this decree, so old man Huang can't blame the Ai family.

All I can say is that your little shoulders simply can’t bear this great Chu Tianming!

The night wind blew past, gently blowing away the melody.

Those lines of text were revealed under the moonlight:

The world is in turmoil, and your majesty collapses violently, all due to evil and greed, and cannot be rectified.Anguo Hou Yu was wise and decisive, and had the appearance of a holy emperor.If the old minister is brave, please make him the emperor. If not, the old minister will only be able to stand by the Qing emperor to uphold the principles of the dynasty. Please be aware of this!
