"shut up!"
Kou Zhun didn't stop speaking, but it was a step too late. The imperial censor had already said everything.
Kou Zhun glared at the imperial censor fiercely, then looked back at Zhao Zhen.
The eyes of Kou Ji, Liu E, Chen Lin and others also fell on Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen didn't know about it before, but now he heard what the imperial censor said, and he didn't know how he would react.
On the Dragon Throne.
Zhao Zhen's eyes widened little by little, and he stared blankly at Liu E, the imperial censor and the others.
The officials seemed to have noticed that Zhao Zhen was unaware, and they all shut up for a moment, wanting to see how Zhao Zhen would react after knowing the truth of the matter.
In the Chui Gong Hall, everything became silent for an instant.
Zhao Zhen looked at everyone in the hall blankly. After a long time, he said solemnly: "Madam, what are they talking about?"
Liu E gritted her teeth and looked gloomy. She did not answer Zhao Zhen's question.
Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Lin, who lowered her head.
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Zhun, who sighed and looked away.
Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Kou Ji again. Seeing that Kou Ji was about to turn away, he hurriedly asked: "Kou Ji, what are they talking about?"
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji, shook his head vaguely, and signaled Kou Ji not to say anything.
Kou Ji sighed, cupped his hands to Kou Zhun, and cupped his hands to Liu E, "Prime Minister Kou, empress, we can no longer hide this matter. Now everyone in the government and the public knows about it, only the officials
People don't know, this is unfair to the officials.
If this matter is kept secret, no one knows how much harm he will suffer when the official finds out.
No one knows how many crazy things he will do.
He is the king of a country, and if he does something crazy, it will hurt many people.
Now that he is still young, even if he knows about this and does something crazy, it will not cause too much harm.
If you two are there to comfort him, he may get over his pain quickly."
Kou Ji paused and said in a deep voice: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain..."
"Why……"
Kou Zhun let out a long sigh and waved his hand to Kou Ji.
Liu E closed her eyes in pain and whispered: "Tell me..."
Both Liu E and Kou Zhun listened to what Kou Ji said.
Everything Kou Ji said was reasonable, and Liu E and Kou Zhun couldn't think of any other way to deal with it, so they followed Kou Ji's suggestion.
Zhao Zhen also noticed something was wrong from the reactions of Kou Ji and others. He said in a slightly trembling voice: "Kou Ji... what on earth are you talking about?"
Kou Ji took a few steps forward, walked into the palace, cupped his hands to Zhao Zhen, cupped his hands to the officials, and slowly said: "Back to the official's house, the officials in the court are discussing a public case."
"Kanan?"
Zhao Zhen looked confused.
Kou Ji nodded and said: "A public case related to the official's life experience."
Zhao Zhen stared stupidly, "My life experience?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Not bad..."
Zhao Zhen couldn't sit still. He twisted left and right on the dragon chair, trying to run off the dragon chair and catch Kou Ji to ask him clearly.
"What happened to my life experience...?"
Zhao Zhen asked anxiously in shock and fear.
Kou Ji sighed and said: "The matter involves the secrets of the palace. Originally, I shouldn't have said it in public, but when the matter has reached this point, I can no longer hide it."
"What's going on?"
Zhao Zhen had already stood up from the dragon chair and asked.
Kou Jigong cupped his hands and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager is not an official biological mother!"
"Plop~"
Zhao Zhen seemed to have been robbed of his soul for a moment, and slumped down on the dragon chair.
The whole court was in an uproar, both civil and military.
Kou Zhun closed his eyes and sighed.
Liu E clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth, and said nothing.
"The eldest lady..."
Zhao Zhen, who had been sitting in silence for a long time on the dragon chair, suddenly called out.
Manchao Wenwu immediately closed his mouth, intending to listen to what Zhao Zhen had to say.
Zhao Zhen stared at Liu E and said with disbelief: "Madam, is what Kou Ji said true?"
When things have developed to this point, Liu E has no intention of hiding it any longer.
She nodded stiffly.
Ever since Zhou Huaizheng revealed the matter in public, Liu E knew that the matter could no longer be concealed.
Even if she tried every means to hide the matter, Zhao Zhen would still find out one day.
As Kou Ji said, it is far better to let Zhao Zhen know early than to let Zhao Zhen know late.
Now that the truth is told to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen may be sad or lose his temper, but she has enough time to make up for her relationship with Zhao Zhen.
Once this matter is concealed and Zhao Zhen is told about it when he grows up, God knows what crazy actions Zhao Zhen will do by then.
By that time, she wanted to make up for the mother-son bond between her and Zhao Zhen, but there was no way.
When Zhao Zhen saw Liu E nodding, his eyes immediately turned red.
His father had just died, and now he learned that the eldest lady who had been with him for many years was not his biological mother. His little heart couldn't accept it.
"Woooooooo..."
Zhao Zhen cried immediately.
"You are all liars!"
Zhao Zhen roared, left the dragon chair, and ran out of Chui Gong Hall crying.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were left behind, looking at each other in confusion.
Liu E's anger had reached its peak. She stared at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and growled: "Are you satisfied now?"
The civil and military officials in the court looked full of embarrassment.
Only the censors and officials stared at Liu E with angry faces.
The imperial censor shouted: "Liu E, under the guise of being an official's biological mother, you have been sitting in the back seat for many years. Now that the lie has been exposed, what qualifications do you have to sit in the back seat?"
Liu E shouted with red eyes: "It was the late emperor's idea for me to use the name of my official biological mother. If you want to question me, you should question the late emperor."
Liu E blamed the matter on Zhao Heng, and the officials were speechless for a while.
Liu E glared at the officials and shouted: "Even if I am not the biological mother of the official family, she is still the empress named by the late emperor and the eldest mother of the official family. According to etiquette and law, what is the difference between me and the biological mother of the official family?"
She is the official’s mother-in-law, and I am also the official’s mother-in-law.”
The imperial censor's old face turned red when he was reprimanded, and he argued forcefully: "You used the name of your official biological mother to deceive the world, are you still justified?"
Just as Liu E was about to retort, she saw Kou Zhun angrily slapping the Kou bus.
"Bang!"
"Shut up, sir!"
Kou Zhun cupped his hands towards Liu E and said stiffly: "Please also ask the Queen Mother not to say any more words."
Liu E gritted her teeth and closed her mouth.
Kou Zhun glared at the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty and shouted: "What a wonderful enthronement ceremony, what did you do to it?"
Just as the imperial censor was about to speak, Kou Zhun glared at him and shouted: "The late emperor's body was still cold, and you forced the officials to abandon their positions and flee. Do you want to rebel by bullying the officials like this?"
The imperial censor said bravely: "Xiaguan and others are also..."
Kou Zhun pointed at him and shouted: "Shut up, I!"
"Help me get up!"
Kou Zhun shouted in a low voice.
Kou Ji quickly stepped forward and helped Kou Zhun up.
Kou Zhun glared at the officials and said in a deep voice: "The enthronement ceremony is of great importance. Even if you have big things to do, you have to wait until after the enthronement ceremony to report it.
I gave you a chance to speak out and gave you enough face.
If you go too far, don't blame me for being rude."
"Where is the Royal Guard?"
Kou Zhun shouted angrily.
But no one answered.
Kou Zhun roared: "Doesn't the power of regency promised to me by the late emperor not count?"
Hearing Kou Zhun's words, several commanders of the Imperial Guard who were guarding the door hurriedly ran into the palace and knelt on one knee in front of Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun snorted coldly, "Next time, I'll kill them all!"
Several commanders of the royal guards hurriedly accompanied the crime and said: "I am in a humble position and I know that I am guilty."
They were used to listening to Zhao Heng's orders before, and later they were used to listening to Liu E's orders, but they were not used to listening to Kou Zhun's orders, so when Kou Zhun ordered to summon them, they hesitated.
"snort!"
Kou Zhun snorted again and said: "Call the imperial guard into the palace to supervise all officials. If anyone dares to disturb the enthronement ceremony again, regardless of identity or status, he will be executed immediately!"
As soon as these words came out.
Manchao Wenwu looked at Kou Zhun stupidly.
Kou Zhun looked directly at the officials and said in a deep voice: "This is how I become a regent! If you are not convinced, go to the late emperor and take away my right to be a regent!"
The entire dynasty was filled with civil and military officials and was speechless.
Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun with envy in his heart.
Kou Zhun vividly displayed his domineering, arrogant and unreasonable character.
Kou Ji felt that this was what being an official should be like.
Several imperial guard commanders received Kou Zhun's order and went out of the palace. Then they led a group of imperial guards into the palace and guarded both sides of the civil and military officials.
When Kou Zhun saw that all the officials were tamed, he told Chen Lin: "Go and invite the officials to come over and continue the enthronement ceremony."
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.
Kou Zhun frowned and said to Kou Ji beside him: "You come too."
Kou Ji bowed his hands and said, "Here~"
Kou Ji accompanied Chen Lin and left Chui Gong Hall. In a small garden behind Chui Gong Hall, he met Zhao Zhen who was lying on a tree and crying bitterly.
Chen Lin saw Zhao Zhen crying, her face full of sadness, but she did not step forward.
Seeing this, Kou Ji muttered, "It's already this time, and you still stick to your broken rules..."
Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji turned a blind eye and walked towards Zhao Zhen.
"Don't cry... Today is the day you ascend the throne... Have you forgotten what I told you before on the Imperial City?"
Kou Ji walked to Zhao Zhen and raised his hand to pat Zhao Zhen on the shoulder.
She stretched out her hand halfway and Chen Lin coughed lightly.
Kou Ji paused, turned around, glared at Chen Lin, put his hand on Zhao Zhen's shoulder, and whispered comfort.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen turned around, threw himself into Kou Ji's arms with tears streaming down his face, and cried: "Kou Ji... wu wu wu... my father is gone... my mother is gone too..."
When Chen Lin saw this scene, she almost bit her tongue off.
"Cough cough cough..."
Chen Lin coughed heavily.
Kou Ji didn't bother to pay attention, and took advantage of the situation to stop Zhao Zhen in his arms, patted his back, and comforted him: "If I were you, I would definitely be crazy with joy..."
"Um?"
Zhao Zhen froze, raised his face stained with tears, and said doubtfully: "My father is gone, and my mother will be gone too... Why should I be happy?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Why are you unhappy? Although you have lost your father, you have gained a mother. In the past, two mothers loved you, but in the future, three mothers will love you."
Kou Ji paused, clicked his lips, and sighed: "I want to find a mother to love me, but I haven't found one yet."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji blankly and asked, "You don't have a mother?"
Kou Ji was stunned, silent for a long time, and whispered: "There was once..."
Zhao Zhen blinked, stared at Kou Ji, and asked seriously: "Are you homesick?"
Kou Ji was stunned and laughed uncontrollably: "Should I comfort you, or should you comfort me?"
Zhao Zhen pouted like a young adult, "I don't want comfort..."
After a pause, Zhao Zhen shed tears and said: "But I feel really sad..."
Kou Ji patted him and comforted him: "There's nothing to be sad about..."
Zhao Zhen cried and asked, "Is the eldest lady really not my biological mother?"
"Um……"
"Then where is my mother?"
"Well...you have to ask Chen Lin about this."
"Chen Lin knows?"
"Yeah! He knows everything."
"Then why didn't he tell me?"
"That's because he's bad."
"..."
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji answered each question in a very harmonious manner.
Under Kou Ji's comfort, Zhao Zhen's mood calmed down a lot.
Liu E was not his biological mother, but Liu E had been disciplining him and nurturing him over the years, and he had feelings for Liu E.
Although Concubine Li is his biological mother, he has never met Concubine Li. Even before today, he didn't know that such a person existed, so he couldn't say that he had deep feelings for her.
He was only nine years old, and he didn't quite understand the evil nature of Liu E's actions in snatching him away from Concubine Li.
So after he learned about this, he just felt sad and felt that he had been deceived, and didn't have many other thoughts.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji chatted happily.
Behind them, Chen Lin was furious.
He wanted to rush forward and strangle Kou Ji to death.
In Kou Ji's mouth, Chen Lin completely turned into a big bad guy, a bad guy lurking around Zhao Zhen.
At the end of the conversation, the two people actually scolded Chen Lin in front of Chen Lin.
Chen Lin clearly wanted to kill someone in anger, but she still had to deal with it with a smile on her face.
Kou Ji comforted Zhao Zhen for a long time, and finally brought Zhao Zhen back to Chui Gong Hall.
After Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair again, the Chui Gong Hall was completely quiet, without the noise at all.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to speak, but they saw half of the knife on the waist of the guard beside them was withdrawn. Even if they had countless words, they had to hold them in their stomachs.
Kou Zhun stared at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, snorted coldly, and shouted: "Xuanzhao!"
Guo Huai held a roll of edicts that had been made at once and read them out.
This is the edict to confer Zhao Zhen’s biological mother, Li, as the Crown Princess.
This was decided after Kou Zhun and Liu E discussed it.
In the past, the identity of Zhao Zhen's biological mother was not exposed, so there was no need for canonization.
Now that the identity of Zhao Zhen's biological mother has been exposed, she needs to be canonized.
It is naturally impossible to be canonized as the Empress Dowager.
Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Mrs. Li, was not a queen, so she naturally had no way of being canonized as the empress dowager.
Unless Liu E, the empress dowager, dies, Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Mrs. Li, can only be the empress dowager.
There was only one empress dowager in the Song Dynasty, and there was no such thing as an east palace or a west palace.
After Guo Huai read out the edict consecrating Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Li.
Kou Zhun shook his sleeves and let Kou Ji push him into the palace.
