Chapter 499

Song Yixiao does not know is that at this moment the Mingren Palace Qingxi Hall, the Empress Dowager has the same trouble with her, “After today’s so out, A Xu will most likely also centrifugal with the emperor, so in addition to Gu Shao and He Wenqiong, basically there is no important people to support the emperor just, who should be called to who should be asked to be the new king?”

Jade fruit on the one hand holding a small jade hammer to the Dowager Empress whacked the legs, one side is not too assured, “Marquis has always been house hearted, and His Majesty and is playing a small friendship, this day, although for you to hold aggrieved, but to say that follow the centrifugal to His Majesty …”

I guess it’s going to drag on for a while?

“You forgot about A Xu’s daughterinlaw?” The Dowager Empress Dowager was smiling faintly, “I have never asked A Xu to stand on my side these days, apart from not wanting to make things difficult for the child I brought up, it is also to give A Xu’s daughterinlaw a reason to persuade A Xu to stand on my side I have long since said that talking to a smart person saves my heart, and A Xu’s daughterinlaw is naturally a smart person. daughterinlaw is naturally a smart person, would she not understand the mourning family’s intention?”

Yu Guo thought of the previous incident, her hand holding the hammer paused and apologized, “This slave girl’s brain! I forgot about Grandma Song!”

That Grandma Song, indeed, wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to make that kind of inroad.

“Although the crown prince is intelligent, he is a bit too young.” The Empress Dowager didn’t care about this kind of small matter and continued to ponder the previous question, “His mother Wei is a sensible one, and to be honest, it’s really a shame to be promised to the Emperor according to Wei’s behavior as a woman over the years, if she became the Empress Dowager, she shouldn’t be able to press her son into favoring her mother’s family! ”

Although the Empress Dowager disliked Emperor Duanhua and even thought that Empress Wei, her grandsoninlaw, was a bit more adorable than Emperor Duanhua, her own grandson, that didn’t mean that she didn’t care about the dictatorship of the foreign relatives!

And Empress Wei’s performance on this issue was still praised by the Dowager Empress.

The Dowager Empress, however, was not particularly pleased with the Crown Prince himself.

This was mainly because when Empress Su came over two days ago, she specifically mentioned Crown Princess Xu.

Of course, the real purpose of Empress Su, not to say that Xu Taifei, but previously the Prince and Xu Taifei son of the King of Shu disputes this thing happened when the Empress Dowager and the Duanhua Emperor’s relationship, not to the point of no return, and Empress Wei also specifically go to the Xu Taifei to make amends, and let the Crown Prince went to the Prince live in the Palace of the Jia Mu to the King of Shu, to ask for forgiveness. The Queen of Wei also specifically went to the Imperial Consort Xu to make amends and had the Crown Prince go to the Jia Mu Palace, where the sons reside, to apologize to King Shu.

When the Dowager Empress heard about the outcome of this treatment, she didn’t say anything else.

After all, at that time the Empress Dowager has not abolished the idea of the Duanhua Emperor, since I do not want the King of Shu because of such a small matter, with the Emperor, the Prince of the deadlock, or else in the future will certainly suffer the King of Shu.

But in the dowager Empress Dowager wants to abolish the Duanhua Emperor, instead of the new king at the moment, Su Taihou reminded the matter, the dowager Empress Dowager can not help but feel that “certainly Shu Wang in order to only grasshoppers, ran to the East Palace to find the Prince theory is not right, but the Prince even hands to injure his uncle, this disposition … is really not a Mingjun should be the appearance! ”

If you don’t look at the Prince with the requirements of a country’s king, a twelve or thirteen year old teenager, just when he is young and vigorous, being approached by a young uncle of the same age looking for trouble, and striking in anger, is also a common human condition, so it would be too harsh if you reproach him too much.

But from the monarch’s standard, the prince’s move, let the dowager empress is very worried, “Duanhua although not good, do the crown prince that will, repeatedly by the generation of the country difficult, but also did not say back to the mouth or hands! He set up this prince, on the qualification, now is still young, how to say in the future, but this temper, I see, than the end of the chemical is also violent some! This will be able to move on their own uncle, later meet other things that do not go well ….”

The Empress Dowager did not continue, but her tightly knit brows clearly showed that she was not actually very optimistic about the Crown Prince.

“But Su Xiang two kings have been passed out.” Yu Guo heard this layer of meaning, after pondering for a moment, bravely, whispered, “His Highness the King of Shu and His Highness the King of Qing, the age is really too young some …”

She didn’t mention the Duke of Liang because she knew that the Dowager Empress would never agree to let the Duke of Liang ascend to the throne.

The Dowager Empress will be lucky if she doesn’t get this grandson killed in the future …

“King Shu took the initiative to go to the East Palace for a grasshopper, that alone makes him unsuitable!” The Empress Dowager simply rejected the King of Shu, “This child has been spoiled by King Su and the late Emperor, he is more or less an idle king in his life, and it is not realistic to expect him to take up the burden of the state! Besides, he was raised as an idle king, when did he ever learn how to rule a country?”

As for King Qing, it won’t work either, ”King Qing’s bloodline was once suspected, and even the three of A Xu did a blood drop with him! This matter is known to the Empress and Empress. Although the result of the blood drops is good, once he ascends to the throne, the Empress will definitely publicize this so as to prevent him from succeeding the thronea prince whose bloodline has been questioned and is only this big, how can he convince the public?!”

Speaking here, the Dowager Empress paused, revealing a touch of remorse, “In fact, although the Dowager Empress has her own selfishness, she is right in saying that the one who is most suitable to be the new ruler is still her own son, King Su!”

Yu Guo hesitated, “But this name … and the crown prince is in the end His Majesty’s own son!”

The Da Rui Dynasty has never had a precedent of a brother ending in death, in the case of the crown prince being alive, Duan Hua Emperor, whether he retired to the harem in the name of the supreme emperor or inexplicably died a violent death, the one who took the throne as a matter of course would be the crown prince!

Because the Crown Prince was officially recognized as the Crown Prince once the current Emperor died, it was only natural for him to become the new Crown Prince!

In other words, if we were to follow the Dowager Empress’s wishes at this moment and allow King Su to be the new ruler, Emperor Duanhua would have to be abolished and the Crown Prince could not be retained!

Even if the Empress Dowager had the heart to give up her eldest grandson and greatgreatgrandson, it would have been very difficult: the King of Su had already succeeded her.

The plot of the Duke of Liang to usurp the throne was revealed, and there are reasons not to let him ascend to the throne, while the King of Shu and the King of Qing, in name only, are ultimately more qualified than the two kings of Su Xiang!

Even if the Empress Dowager favored King Su, she couldn’t possibly kill off the grandsons of King Shu and King Qing, could she?

It’s a wonder the royal family isn’t in disarray like this!

“I know!” The Empress Dowager sniffed, sighed, and waved her hand, “It is precisely because of this that I feel a headache although Da Rui is now considered to be a peaceful country, it cannot afford to be tossed around by frequent dynastic changes! My son Xianjia has already chosen the wrong one, this time, I really don’t want to choose a waste or a dim king to come to power!”

She looked out of the temple with some sadness, “After all, this prosperity and peace is the result of my son, Xianjia, dragging his sick body and surviving for twenty years or so! How can I allow his ungrateful descendants to spoil it!!!”

The emperor who slaughtered his hands and feet without concealing his wisdom should not have his reputation and honor tarnished by an incompetent successor!

“Your Majesty’s attitude towards the Dowager Empress yesterday was too casual!” Song Yixiao and the Dowager Empress were not the only ones calculating around the throne at the moment. Early the next morning, Gu Shao came to the palace to see him, and after bowing, he sharply remonstrated, “I know that Your Majesty is aggrieved, but Your Majesty should not forget that a man who achieves great things must endure what the common people cannot the Dowager Empress, even though she has been unfair to Your Majesty, has loved and cared for Yanhou! Even though the Empress Dowager has been unfair to His Majesty, she has loved and cared for Marquis Yan! Marquis Yan witnessed the Dowager Empress being forcibly returned to Mingren Palace, how could he not be worried about the Dowager Empress in his heart?”

“Isn’t this just right?” But Emperor Duanhua said, “The Empress Dowager has long had murderous intentions towards me, can’t I see that? Even if I am her grandson, does that mean I deserve to live and die in her hands? Such a conflict will erupt one day, rather than letting A Xu pretend to be confused all the way and not know what to do when the time comes, it’s better to let him think clearly now!”

Gu Shao simply wanted to vomit blood, “Is Your Majesty certain that Marquis Yan will be on your side?”

“I am unsure!” Emperor Duanhua laughed out coldly, his gaze like a knife staring at the old minister under Edward Dan, and said in a cold voice, “However, even if I did not let anyone force the Dowager Empress Dowager back to Mingren Palace yesterday, does Minister Gu have the certainty that A Xu will stand on my side in the future?”

“If Your Majesty has always honored the Dowager Empress and does not fall for the truth, there may not be no hope for this!” Gu Shao said in a deep voice, “Otherwise, Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand pieces of gold, how would I dare to persuade Your Majesty again and again to be lenient towards Marquis Yan?”

If Jian Xubai is a person who can’t be enlisted, Gu Shao is full of nothing to do, and will persuade the emperor to coax this cousin all day long!

“There is also just hope.” Only Emperor Duanhua sighed, “What does Minister Gu think, how are the Dowager Empress’ methods?”

Gu Shao heard the emperor ask this, slightly stunned, but somewhat understood sure enough, Emperor Duanhua continued, “The means of the Dowager Empress Dowager is not just to hold the frame of the elders and seize with me! When I enlisted A Xu, do you think that the Empress Dowager, she did not do anything? Now staring at me is too many people, more than I can not even care to pay attention to, the Dowager Empress Dowager these days privately do what hands and feet? And the Empress Dowager …”

The emperor’s face reveals a touch of sullenness, “Within this huge imperial city, in addition to Zhu Qin, I actually have no one to trust, no one dares to believe, no one can believe!!!”

“In this case, instead of leaving A Xu ambiguous in front of me, and then in the future, like Liang Guo Gong, giving me a blow at a critical moment at a critical place, it’s better to make it clear now!” The emperor said in a deep voice, “If he chooses the Empress Dowager, then I can at least guard against him! If he chooses me, naturally there is nothing to say I will treat him as a brother from now on! I will not fail him!”

These words the emperor said broken, but Gu Shao heard the whole body cold!

He froze for a long while before he said in an astringent voice, ”Your Majesty, it is precisely because Marquis Yan has been hesitant that we must pull him over! Only then can we hope to pull him over! If you force him now, he … will choose the Empress Dowager! He will choose the Empress Dowager! On the Empress Dowager’s side, His Majesty is too busy to pay attention, but I have been paying attention, and the Empress Dowager has never forced Marquis Yan to do so this is the Empress Dowager’s tactics!”

Compared to Emperor Duanhua, who has already rebuked him several times for “treating you well, but this is how you repay me”, the Empress Dowager, who has always treated all of Jian Xubaibai’s family as her treasures, even in yesterday’s situation where she was humiliated by her grandson, did not forget to give Jian Xubaibai the wink to tell him not to speak up on his behalf lest he annoy the Emperor! Even without Song Yixiao behind the scenes, Jian Xu Bai would most likely choose the latter!

The Dowager Empress Dowager is using a yang conspiracy, she is good to Jian Xubai, all kinds of good, and they never say that they are good to Jian Xubai, what requirements are not mentioned, what the return do not want, finished coldeyed look at their own good, to the emperor’s good to Jian Xubai, the whole aspect of the comparison!

In this situation, Emperor Duanhua’s socalled not wanting to keep a cousin with an ambiguous attitude by his side, lest he become the second Duke of Liang, might as well be said to be intentionally forcing Jian Xu Bai to the side of the Dowager Empress Dowager!

“Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty, pardon the Empress immediately!” Gu Shao looked at Emperor Duanhua whose brows were furrowed, knowing that he still had a knot in his heart, he sighed sadly and fell to his knees with a thud, “And collect the power of the six palaces and the phoenix seal in the hands of He Xiuyi, and return it to the Central Palace!”

He gripped the elephant tablet in his hand, “I beg Your Majesty to grant what I ask!”

“Otherwise, I will kneel for a long time count the old minister as begging Your Majesty!!!”

Losing the support of Marquis Yan’s lineage, the two elders at the top, the Dowager Empress and Empress Su, were both eyeing Emperor Duanhua with ill intentions, and under such circumstances, if the Empress and the Wei family were not brought over to Emperor Duanhua’s side, even Gu Shao would not be able to secure Emperor Duanhua’s protection!

After all, it’s not like he’s a god!
