"Who do you think I should make emperor?"

The Empress Dowager's fair and smooth face was covered with blush.

Her golden phoenix eyes were lazily leaning against the boy's arms.

The embroidered shoes that were supposed to be worn on the black silk lotus feet fell to the ground together with the belt.

"I don't even know how many princes the late emperor has. Your Majesty asked the wrong person. But just choose someone who is not too old or too young, right?"

Zhao Cuo rested his chin on her snowy and fragrant shoulder, and the delicate touch came from all directions. It was really a warm and fragrant soft jade.

"What do you think, this palace will give your late emperor another little prince?"

The Queen Mother took the boy's hand and placed it on her warm belly.

"No." He shook his head without hesitation, "This is my child."

"You are really brave to rebel against me."

Empress Dowager Zhao raised her hand and caressed his neck with a faint smile.

"How can I, the Empress Dowager of Dayu, bear children for you? Your children can only be Dukes of the Kingdom, but if they are His Majesty's princes, they can become emperors."

"The empress belongs to me alone. No matter what the reason is, our child must be named Zhao. Of course, I have no objection to the surname Zhao."

Zhao Cuo said softly and seriously against her pink and white crystal ears.

"What a willful child."

The empress smiled lightly and raised her hand to flick his forehead.

"Isn't it because your Majesty makes me so proud that I dare to commit rebellion?"

Young Master Zhao buried his face in her arms in confusion.

"Even if you say so, I will still pamper you."

The Queen Mother said in an arrogant tone.

"Your Majesty, please continue with the court meeting first."

Zhao Cuo felt that it was not appropriate to ask the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who had been waiting for half an hour to continue to stand.

"I want you to go to Ningguo later."

she said suddenly.

"Ning Guo?"

Young Master Zhao was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing in the Seven Kings' feudal kingdom?"

King Ning is one of the seven vassal kings.

"You come to your Highness."

Teru Qinglan kissed the young man's eyebrows affectionately. He also understood what the Queen Mother meant, so he stood up, tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, turned around and walked out.

The courtiers who had been standing for a long time all cast doubtful looks on him.

What on earth did you have to discuss with the Queen Mother alone for most of an hour?

'Why does the empress want me to go to Ningguo?'

Zhao Cuo walked back to his original position and waited for the Queen Mother to speak.

"I have made a decision regarding the person who will inherit the throne."

The majestic and dignified clear voice of Empress Dowager Zhao quickly came to mind.

No one could guess that her face was still flushed.

Young Master Zhao was really merciless when he assassinated his wife just now.

"Everyone should still remember that King Ning of this generation has the blood of Sejong, right?"

As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, all the ministers looked at each other in confusion.

"Emperor Sejong Zhao?"

Zhao Cuo frowned in surprise. The Shizong mentioned by the empress was the father of the late emperor and the grandfather of the deposed Emperor Yongzhao.

What does it mean that King Ning is a bloodline of King Sejong? Is it possible that the previous King Ning was cheated by the late emperor and his father? Or is it a succession?

The Queen Mother mentioned this matter...

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning is the fourth son of Emperor Sejong. At that time, the late King Ning had no children, so Emperor Sejong adopted him to him."

Empress Dowager Zhao said again without waiting for the ministers to speak.

"Now that the late emperor's heirs are still young, it is better to follow the example of the late virtuous brother and his younger brother and welcome King Ning to the capital to ascend the throne."

After she finished speaking, the court fell into silence for a moment.

Everyone in the hall felt a chill on their spines at this time.

This move is really too cruel!

'As expected of a bad woman.'

Zhao Cuo also understood instantly. Ning Guo's power in the Seven Kings Alliance can only be ranked in the middle and upper reaches. Even if they succeed in their rebellion, it will definitely not be his turn to sit in that position.

But what would happen if the imperial court took the initiative to invite him to the capital to proclaim himself emperor? The result was that he knew that he would become a puppet, but he was still willing to take the bait for the possibility of pro-government in the future.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Even if King Ning is not willing to become emperor in Xiangjing, the seven vassal kings will still have grudges because of this matter, and it is very likely that dog bites dog.

"Empress Shengming!"

All the officials in the court, who felt like a mirror in their hearts, immediately shouted compliments and expressed their approval.

Anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, they have no intention and will not follow him.

It should be noted that the Shenwu Camp outside Beijing and the officers and soldiers of the world are all under the orders of the Queen Mother.

"In that case, the matter is settled."

Empress Dowager Zhao made a decisive decision.

"To welcome Prince Ning to the capital, I will immediately send envoys to the State of Ning. After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will send troops to Huainan to fight against the rebellion."

In fact, things like the crusade against the rebels should not be delayed, but the Yu court does not dare to act rashly now. God knows how the seven kings will react after sending troops to Huainan.

'So you want me to go to Ning State to welcome King Ning to the capital and ascend the throne?'

Zhao Cuo felt no reluctance but began to look forward to it. The empress would definitely not let him take risks alone. This must be another honeymoon trip, right?

"If you have something to do, please leave the court if nothing happens."

The court meeting ends here, everything is still in order, and there will be no problems because of the absence of the emperor.

Young Master Zhao stayed on his own initiative without waiting for his wife to call him.

After waiting for all the humerus to leave, he sat on the dragon chair again.

"Why do you seem to be chuckling?"

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at the young man beside her with raised slender eyebrows, and unceremoniously raised her tender jade feet to step on his legs, waving her round toes playfully.

"Isn't the empress going to send me to Ningguo?"

He took the initiative to hold her snow-colored lotus feet hidden under the thin black silk stockings and massage them.

"So you can't wait to leave me?"

The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned unkind, and she pinched his forearm with her toes as if to punish him, but the force was gentle.

"How can I have it?"

Zhao Cuo pressed her soft soles, the smile on his face did not shrink, and said:

"Aren't you going to go with me, my dear? I'm happy that I can go out and enjoy the mountains and rivers with you. I'm really looking forward to it."

"When did I say that I would go to Ningguo with you?"

The puzzled tone of the Queen Mother made the smile on Mr. Zhao's face freeze.

"How can the empress have the heart to let me go alone to break into the enemy's country's dragon's pond and tiger's den?"

He pretended to be aggrieved and held his mother's black silk legs in his arms.

"I said I won't let you take risks."

The Queen Mother's white lotus feet moved up until the toes touched his chin.

"Without the fire bearer to protect me, I might not be able to come back once I go to Ningguo."

Young Master Zhao didn't mind her using her feet to treat him so humiliatingly.

"I will let Chu Biezhi accompany you."

Empress Dowager Zhao said calmly.

"Do you want the Imperial Master to go to Ning Country with me?"
