"It's easier said than done." There are hundreds of eunuchs and maids in these three palaces.
"We must think of countermeasures before this matter gets spread."
Her chin rested on the table, feeling a little helpless: "Countermeasures? What other countermeasures can there be? It's impossible for him to come back. Do you want me to issue an edict to everyone in the world that the emperor is missing?"
"The best way at the moment is for one person to stand up and take charge of the world. A country cannot live without a king for a day."
She said with a calm face: "What do you think of the imperial edict for Prince Yu to succeed to the throne?"
He said calmly: "I didn't mean that. I didn't want to proclaim myself emperor. If I had wanted to, I wouldn't have given up the throne to the fifth emperor brother. I just wanted to protect you, do you understand?"
In addition to confusion, her eyes were full of sadness: "Apart from this, is there any other way?"
"People come up with solutions. I believe we can definitely find a solution."
When Chu Mengni heard this, she gradually calmed down. She could not be impulsive or act on impulse. What was before her eyes was the lifeblood of the Ouyang Dynasty.
She stared at the burning candle in a daze, and then said for a long time: "The emperor is seriously ill, and the queen and Prince Yu will assist him in governing until the emperor recovers."
"This is the only thing we can do now." What he was thinking was exactly what she said.
Chu Mengni conveyed oral instructions to the ministers on behalf of the emperor, and the court will resume tomorrow morning. The emperor is seriously ill, and the queen and Prince Yu will assist in the administration until the emperor recovers.
As soon as this metaphor came out, everyone was questioning it. Chu Mengni didn't care about it anymore. It was difficult to reconcile the opinions.

At dawn the next day, Chu Mengni, dressed in the queen's palace attire, came to the main hall, received three bows from the courtiers, and shouted a thousand lives.
The ministers were surprised that the throne was indeed empty.
"All the ministers have their own bodies and gold treasures, and declare the emperor's imperial edict." Chu Mengni sat beside the dragon chair, solemnly and majestic.
The imperial edict read out by Jin Bao was the same as the oral speech delivered by the emperor last night. The edict was announced in public just to make people feel more convincing.
"Everyone from the Qing family has something to offer," Chu Mengni said calmly and with the demeanor of a king.
All the ministers looked at me, and I looked at you, and whispered.
General Zhuge Hong was the first to stand up: "Queen, what disease does the Emperor have, and what does the imperial doctor say?"
Chu Mengni said formally: "The emperor was overworked, he was infected with wind and cold, was poisoned by the King of Han, and suffered internal injuries, which made him sleepy. However, the imperial doctor said that with some treatment, the emperor will get better soon."
"I hope the emperor will take care of his body and recover soon!"
"Empress, I have a secret to report." The second person to stand up was Fan Changsheng, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"Please tell me."
"There have been floods in the northwest recently. The people have not harvested anything from their plowing. They ask for tax reductions and exemptions. Please make your decision."
"We will reduce or reduce taxes for one year and do a good job in relocating the people. All the people's losses in the floods will be reported and distributed at the same value in silver. If there is a shortage of supplies, warehouses will be opened to provide disaster relief. This work must be implemented quickly to ensure the safety of the people.
, the common people have food and clothing.”
Chu Mengni's prompt decision won a lot of admiring glances. The queen's style was not inferior to that of the emperor at all.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Leng tribe has been deploying troops very intensively recently and has frequently come to harass our border residents. Please send troops to suppress it." The speaker was Qin Ke, Minister of War.
"It's up to you to send three thousand soldiers and horses to suppress it and drive the Lengfan people out of the country, but you must not hurt anyone. I will personally write a letter to the queen of Lengfan later to discuss the matter."
