2024. Chapter 2024 The Empress Supervises the Country
"Is it true that the emperor has appointed a crown prince, but that person is not Prince Jing?" Yun Qian asked slowly.
Chu Yuanzhou nodded slightly and said: "Yes, that's exactly the case. The queen is so thoughtful. We always thought that she had no children. The reason for harming Chu Shu and dealing with Chu Mo was just because of her heart.
There was so much reluctance, but I didn’t expect that she actually had this skill. This woman is really scheming and powerful!”
Yun Qian didn't understand what he meant. He handed over the note in his hand. She opened it and saw that it read: "The emperor has died, and the fifteenth prince has been appointed."
For the crown prince, let the queen supervise the country."
Yun Qian was slightly startled when he saw this note. In the history of China, such things had happened many times, the most famous of which was Empress Dowager Cixi's listening to politics behind the curtain.
What the Queen did at this time was similar to listening to politics behind the curtain. She chuckled and said, "It's a shame she figured it out. I'm afraid most of the ministers in the DPRK won't agree to it."
"Most likely I won't agree." Chu Yuanzhou said slowly: "But behind the Queen, there is the Lan Mansion. It is said that when the late emperor was still alive, the Lan Mansion was very favored by the Holy Spirit. The late emperor once gave the Lan Mansion a sword from the top. I
I don’t think the queen would have asked the head of the Lan family to stand at the gate of the palace with Shang Fang’s sword in his hand. If any of the ministers dared to disobey the emperor’s legacy, they would probably kill him.”
Yun Qian's eyes deepened and she said: "The last time I confessed my relationship with blood, I had a conversation with the queen. I could hear many meanings from her words at that time, and I also had some speculations in this regard.
, but he didn't expect that her courage was really so great. It was impossible for the emperor to really appoint the fifteenth prince, a child who was only over two years old, as a prince. It was just that Chu Mo had forced the palace, and there were nine
The prince is not a matter of the emperor's flesh and blood, and there is also the matter of the brothers Chu Yuan and Chu Shu fighting each other. I think the queen will definitely take these things into account and say that the emperor thinks that the adult princes are either incompetent or too cruel.
That’s why we appointed the fifteenth youngest prince as the heir apparent.”
"You have already thought up an excuse for the queen. If the queen finds out, I'm afraid she will be very happy." Chu Yuanzhou's words were full of ridicule.
Yun Qian glanced at him and said, "How long has it been and you haven't gotten into shape yet."
There was a faint smile in Chu Yuanzhou's eyes: "Although we have to worry about this, but if I leave the palace like this without any precautions, would you believe it?"
Yun Qian chuckled softly when she heard his words and said, "With your words, I feel relieved a lot."
Chu Yuanzhou said unhurriedly: "Actually, if this matter is paid for now, I can at least come up with two versions."
"Oh, which two versions?" Yun Qian said with a slight smile.
Chu Yuanzhou's eyes deepened and he said: "Don't forget, the real military power is in the hands of A Yi and I. At this time, civil servants usually don't mean what they say. If the old man of Lan Mansion
If I get angry, I can just ignore his Shangfang sword and chop him into pieces with one blow."
Chu Yuanzhou had spent a lot of effort to win over the Lan family before, but it had no effect. He was extremely disdainful of the old-fashioned look of the head of the Lan family, and felt that it would be difficult for a literati like them to deal with it at this time.
