Empress Dowager Sun also felt at first that it was King Yin who had gained the power of general affairs, and that the Wu family was a little complacent.
But if you think about it carefully, this woman's temperament is definitely not so unstable.
Then her purpose is obvious.
She just wants to piss herself off!
And the most obvious consequences of irritating yourself are the two just mentioned.
In the final analysis, Mrs. Wu was just the late emperor's concubine. Others could not handle her, but Empress Dowager Sun could.
Even though you can't really do anything to her, you can still punish her.
And since she opened her mouth, Empress Dowager Sun could naturally remove King Tan from his power to supervise the country.
This is actually easy to reason out.
"But why?"
Knowing that the other party was deliberately irritating her, Queen Mother Sun calmed down and said in deep thought.
"It can't be true. She is afraid that King Xi will be tired and sick, and she feels sorry for her son, right?"
Empress Dowager Sun scoffed at this statement.
She didn't believe it at all.
Concubine Wu Xian and her son have no interest in becoming powerful, but because the possibility is so slim, no one with any sense would give it a try.
Even if we can't really get anything from this situation now.
But the opportunity to take charge of state affairs does not come all the time.
If he can get through this crisis safely, King Tan himself will benefit a lot.
So, why does she push it out?
"Because it's impossible to turn it down."
Seeing that Queen Mother Sun had understood, Jin Ying continued to explain.
It's no wonder that Queen Mother Sun couldn't figure it out. This matter itself involved the former harem and was extremely complicated.
If it weren't for Jin Ying's special status of being a minister and having access to government affairs, I'm afraid he wouldn't have figured it out in just a few moments.
Empress Dowager Sun frowned: "It's impossible to reject it, so what do you mean?"
Jin Ying said solemnly: "The Queen Mother has generously appointed the Crown Prince and issued an edict to Prince Yin to supervise the general administration of the country. This was agreed upon by you and the elders of the Six Ministries. Not to mention Concubine Wu Xian, even you, if you want to regret it now
, I’m afraid the courtiers will definitely refuse to admit it.”
"What's more, the current situation in the court is in turmoil, so someone must come out to make the decision. Logically speaking, it should be the prince who makes the decision, but my brothers are too young to be in charge, and you are in the harem and have the laws of your ancestors.
Therefore, this person can only be King Yin, and the courtiers will only recognize him as King Yin."
"Today's matter, at the most serious level, means that the virtuous concubine is worried about her children and offended you with her rude words. At the most minor level, it means that the harem woman has long hair and short knowledge."
"But if you care about it, if you avoid Prince Tan's errand, someone will definitely make a fuss about it, saying that you are still fighting for power and profit in such a critical moment."
"The key point is that in the end, this matter will only allow Prince Tan to delay the administration of government for a few days, and you will end up with a reputation of being narrow-minded."
Queen Mother Sun thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
Apart from anything else, in Bunren Hall today, the bosses have said with sincerity several times that King Tan is the most suitable person to supervise the general administration of the country.
The other ministers who wanted to come to the outer court also had the same idea.
If they are not allowed, there will definitely be trouble.
Especially now it is necessary to appoint a crown prince.
Empress Dowager Sun believed that as long as she dared to remove King Xi's power to supervise the country, Li Ke Na would immediately withhold the edict on registration.
In the end, she still had to give in.
But it’s such a hassle.
Not only did she become the target of public criticism, but King Tao also became popular among the people.
Even if something went wrong in the future, it would be hard for her to control him.
This Wu family is indeed very capable.
When she made such a fuss, it was hard for me to even punish her!
After all, she had just opposed King Tao's general administration in Bunren Hall today, and now she had just returned to the harem and punished King Tao's mother-in-law.
In anyone's opinion, this is public revenge and private revenge.
Wu is not here to add insult to injury at all.
On the contrary, she came to sow discord.
Queen Mother Sun can imagine that.
In the eyes of the elders in the court, these things in the harem are nothing but trivial matters.
Even if Wu's words were slightly inappropriate, as the Queen Mother, she should not care too much.
What's more, there's nothing wrong with what Wu said.
No crying, no fuss, just mentioning it.
It's really not a big deal.
On the other hand, Queen Mother Sun only needs to make any move towards the mother and son.
They will all be interpreted by courtiers as unwilling to delegate power and disregarding the overall situation.
In this way, the courtiers would not say anything on their faces, but they would definitely have thoughts in their hearts.
Perhaps in normal times, the outer court and the inner palace are clearly distinct.
Empress Dowager Sun doesn't have to care about whatever the courtiers want to think in their hearts.
But not now.
The current situation in the court is in turmoil. If anything happens to the emperor,
She also needs courtiers to stand on her side and protect orthodoxy.
So at least during this period of time, she cannot offend the courtiers.
"The Ai family understands what you said..."
Queen Mother Sun sighed, remembering Wu's face when she left, she was so angry that her heart ached a little, and she said with hatred.
"But the Wu family is so arrogant, openly and secretly mocking the Ai family. The Ai family cannot swallow this tone!"
Jin Ying smiled bitterly, thought for a while and continued.
"I understand, but my queen, you must understand that the current situation is only temporary."
"The top priority is how to rescue the emperor and defend the capital."
"Once the emperor can be rescued, neither the virtuous concubine nor the king is worth mentioning."
"As long as the capital can be preserved, then the country will be there, the prince will be in his rightful place, the East Palace will have its master, and the courtiers will act in accordance with etiquette, law and justice."
Jin Ying thought about the last sentence for a long time before speaking out boldly.
After all, this last assumption is based on the situation that the emperor cannot be saved.
Although it is very likely to come true, it is still taboo for a minister like him to say it.
Seeing that Queen Mother Sun still looked unwilling, Jin Ying struggled in his heart for a long time and continued.
"If the empress still feels dissatisfied, I have something to say, which may be feasible."
Empress Dowager Sun was overjoyed and said quickly: "Say it."
Jin Ying leaned down and whispered a few words in Empress Dowager Sun's ear.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun's expression changed, as if she was a little undecided.
After a long time, he reached out and called Li Yongchang over and gave a few instructions.
Then under Li Yongchang's surprised eyes, he got up and went back to Nuange to rest.
On the other side, Jin Ying also breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of Cining Palace before Li Yongchang could ask questions.
Just standing at the entrance of the palace, Jin Ying stopped.
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Prince Tan's Mansion outside the palace, with complex emotions that were difficult to explain in his eyes.
No one knows that this minister, Da Xun, plays an important role both in the inner palace and in the outer court.
What is he thinking in his mind at this moment...
