Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 70
Three days later, Ming Gong smugly gathered all the princes and ministers in the main hall of Chaoyang Palace, and announced to everyone a decision he had planned for a long time.

"After careful consideration, the widow has concubine Bao of Jianjia Palace. She is intelligent and virtuous, and she is the best candidate to be the mother of the country. Therefore, the widow has decided to formally make concubine Bao the queen of the widow. Do you have any objections?"

"Your Majesty has finally revealed his true purpose." The doctor Cheng Rong's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Qutu beside him.

Qu's protruding face was like a crown of jade, but there was no blood color at this time. The strange thing is that the entire Chaoyang Palace was silent for a while, and no one came out to object.

"What method did the king use to settle all the noble and important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?" Uncle Sun looked at the mighty Ming Gong in the hall in bewilderment.

"Okay! Since there are no objections from civil and military officials in the court, then the widow has made a decision. On the tenth day of this month, the widow will officially confer the new empress in the main hall and give the world amnesty!" Ming Gong announced in a loud voice, beaming with joy.

Immediately afterwards, the former imperial eunuch Xiao Dezi stepped forward to remind him to retreat, and Ming Gong happily rolled up his sleeves and went back to the harem.

"Well, what's going on here? According to the ancestral system of my Great Zhou Dynasty, the mother is more expensive than the son, and the son is more valuable than the mother. Now, let alone the concubine Bao has no heir, even if she gives birth to a prince, the concubine Bao's status cannot be compared with that of the concubine Bao. Concubine Jin said the same thing, what does the king think, General, why don't you dare to oppose the king at the court?" Minggong left like this, the court suddenly exploded, and the princes and ministers There were endless discussions, and some directly surrounded the silent general Wang Zhi, asking questions and talking endlessly.

"Everyone, from my point of view, the king is the king after all, the Son of Zhou. We don't care what the king decides, as long as we obey the king, we are loyal to the king and patriotic!" Lu Kai, the senior doctor, cheered and persuaded everyone.

"That's right, it's the king's family business to make who is the queen. It's really out of the question for us to intervene!" Cheng Rong also booed. new queen.

"What? Did the king really announce that in court?" In the Chonghua Palace, the embarrassing Concubine Jin stared at the bewildered An Zhen in embarrassment, furious.

"Master, it's really unexpected that His Majesty will deal with it like this this time!" An Zhen said with embarrassment. "Hu Meizi! It's really a thousand calculations. I didn't count the king's heart, but I was completely taken away by this Hu Meizi! An Zhen, how much scheming and effort I have put in, it can be called a trick. I tried my best to attack, vilify, and tarnish Baosi's image. Unexpectedly, the king would go so far as to do everything for this folk girl! What I did in this palace turned out to be a waste of water in the bamboo basket!" Imperial Concubine Jin Frantically pulling An Zhen's collar, she cursed hysterically.

"Master, please be quiet. You still have little prince Huien. According to the family law of this dynasty, a mother is more valuable than a son. She has been in the palace for so many years, and she doesn't even have a son and a half. Sudden countless gossip, she can't be complacent!" An Zhen persuaded earnestly.

"No, Anzhen, are you confused? Baosi, a bitch, has become a queen, are you still afraid that she won't be able to give birth to a prince? Once she gains power, how will Bengong and Huien live in the future?" Imperial Concubine Jin Almost collapsed.

"Master, why didn't the general and the courtiers object this time?" An Zhen sighed strangely.

"Anzhen, you don't understand. The king has already grasped the handle of our royal family. It is really easy to destroy our royal family. Anzhen, this palace is really blind. I have served the king for so many years and gave birth to the king. I lost the prince, but I never thought that the king would be so unfeeling towards me in the end, what is the reason for this!" Imperial Concubine Jin collapsed on the ground in pain.

"Master, you have to cheer up. The rumors we spread in the capital seem to be useful now. Although the king did not punish Dudu this time, maybe he is also suspicious in his heart. The slaves don't believe it. Then trust Jutu and Baosi!" An Zhen raised her brows and said indignantly.

"That's right! Anzhen, you must not let that foxy girl get his way! I have carefully planned for so many years to seize the throne of the queen, and you must not let Baosi sit back and enjoy the success. Anzhen, send people to various princes and countries to spread Baosi's favor! It's a rumor of a subjugated evildoer, and all the recent mistakes of the king are blamed on Baosi! I want to ruin Baosi's reputation!" The eyes of Imperial Concubine Jin became extremely resentful.

"However, master, the king must be on guard this time, we must not act rashly!" An Zhen said after thinking for a while, helpless.

Imperial Concubine Jin sneered slyly and said: "Anzhen, turn everything around, let's act as officials in the court who pay attention to etiquette, and advocate the restoration of the royal government in the court, so that public opinion will be beneficial to us, and the responsibility can also be passed on to others , Those old scholars who value etiquette and law will definitely resist the king desperately and maintain the rules of the ancestors, so that we have a chance to completely overthrow Baosi!"

"But master, this is still not very useful. If the king insists on becoming queen, no one can stop him. After all, he is the emperor of the Great Zhou!" An Zhen persuaded in horror.

"That's why we have to send out surprise troops to get twice the result with half the effort. Anzhen, you send someone to Baoguo to help me with one thing! I want to make life worse for Baosi!" Imperial Concubine Jin showed a weird smile.

In Jianjia Palace, begonias are in full bloom, and the flowers are raining. Bao Si leans on the railing and silently watches the ups and downs of the flowers.

"Si'er! I have good news for you! You are going to be the mother of my country! You are as dignified as Queen Jiang in the past, and you are not happy!" Suddenly, the pearl curtain trembled slightly, and Ming Gong happily came to Bao Si's side , ecstatically grabbed Bao Si's jade wrist.

"Your Majesty!" Bao Si frowned, showing surprise, "My Majesty, what happened to you today? Are you making fun of Si'er?"

"It's not a joke, it's true, Ah Si! You are about to accept the worship of the princes and officials!" Ming Gong stared at Bao Si with crooked eyebrows.

"Your Majesty! Ah Si, please take back your order immediately and give up this ridiculous decision!"
