"There is no emperor here, only the prince." On the phoenix throne, Empress Dowager Gao slowly stood up with the support of Aunt Yulian. She raised her phoenix eyes slightly, looked at the eunuch below and said, "Now that the emperor has passed away, state affairs
Present them all to the prince."
Mu Qingyuan's originally smiling face froze for an instant. He looked ahead in surprise. There was no emperor?! Leave it to the prince?! What did this mean? He tilted his head dullly and looked at the most noble person in the harem and even the entire Dongyue Kingdom.
woman.
All the ministers also looked at Empress Dowager Gao in astonishment. What she meant was...
"The Empress Dowager, you must not do this..." Immediately some ministers shouted.
"The Empress Dowager, the new emperor has been established. The Sixth Prince is not suitable to be the crown prince at all! I beg the Empress Dowager to take back his life..." Some ministers who supported Mu Qingyuan knelt on the ground. However, looking below the main hall, the remaining ministers were
Still standing, silent.
Empress Dowager Gao chuckled softly and glanced at Mu Jingnan below, her brows darkening slightly. It seemed that she really underestimated him. She looked slightly to the side, looked at the ministers below, and said loudly: "No one is born with good luck."
It is suitable to be a prince. Our ancestors were just a horseman back then, but they were able to conquer the world in the end, which further illustrates this point. Since the late emperor’s decree was to establish the sixth prince as the prince, we should obey the decree. As for whether the prince is a wise king, this
The prince will prove this point to you and show it to the people of the world."
"But Queen Mother, the new emperor has been established. This is inconsistent with etiquette and law. Besides, if the prince is changed, the world will laugh at it..." Another minister added.
Mu Jingnan put his hands on his back and looked at the ministers with a cold voice, "Have I never heard that our Dongyue Kingdom had a crown prince before? The imperial edict is here, and I want to see who is dissatisfied?
"A majestic and majestic aura burst out from his whole body.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked and all lowered their heads, as if they did not dare to look at him. Indeed, because the emperor was seriously ill, the Queen Mother had ordered that the matter of establishing the crown prince did not need to be announced to the world.
Yun Mocheng raised his eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Gao with a doubtful expression on his face. Why should she help Mu Jingnan?
Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingyuan looked at Empress Dowager Gao in astonishment. He unconsciously shouted, "Grandma Imperial!" Could it be that Grandma Imperial was responsible for all this... No wonder she didn't let the world know about it at that time, just for the sake of it.
today?
Empress Dowager Gao ignored Mu Qingyuan. She looked at the ministers below and said: "Now that the sixth prince has returned, no, it should be the crown prince. All state affairs will be handled by the crown prince and he will be enthroned on a certain day. In addition, there is one thing that the Ai family has never discussed with
All the ministers have made it clear that the fourth prince is not the Queen's legitimate son."
The fourth prince is not the Queen's legitimate son?! This news was like thunder, and it instantly exploded in the minds of all the ministers. How could this happen? Are the rumors in the palace true?
Mu Qingyuan stared at Empress Dowager Gao, why, why did she tell everyone! He turned his head and looked at the ministers below. They looked at him in an indescribably strange way. They were clearly mocking him! No, no! He
He stepped back unconsciously, as if he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Below, Mu Jingnan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Empress Dowager Gao. Suddenly he twitched the corner of his mouth and said mockingly, "Whose child is the fourth prince?"
Hearing these words, Queen Mother Gao frowned slightly and looked at Mu Jingnan with a warning look in her eyes. She glanced at the eunuch who came in to report, "Isn't there an urgent report from the border? Why don't you submit it to the prince quickly!"
The eunuch was startled, glanced at Mu Qingyuan above him, and then handed the bag in his hand to Mu Jingnan.
Mu Jingnan glanced at Empress Dowager Gao and casually took the report handed over by the eunuch. Looking at the contents, he handed the report to an official. Looking at the officials, he said: "Now there is an urgent report from the border, Nan
The Yao Kingdom has sent 200,000 troops to the border and has defeated three cities in a row. At this time, I don’t want to get entangled with everyone about who will be the new emperor. All I want is to retreat the southern Yao Kingdom army.
"
The Nan Yao Kingdom is going to attack the Dong Yue Kingdom?! All the officials looked at Mu Jingnan in astonishment, scrambling to read the report.
After reading it, a minister immediately said: "Why did Emperor Nan Yao send troops to attack our country of East Vietnam? Didn't our two countries just enter into a marriage contract?"
"Did Lord Song not see it clearly just now? Emperor Nanyao's reason was that we regretted our marriage. Princess Zhaoyang did not arrive at Nanyao Kingdom, but Princess Zhaoyang has not returned yet. This can only mean that Emperor Nanyao was looking for an excuse to come here.
They are attacking us in East Vietnam." Mukexiang glanced at the official and said indifferently.
Yun Mocheng looked at Mu Jingnan, bowed, and said respectfully, "I wonder what the Crown Prince's decision is?"
Mu Jingnan walked towards the dragon chair above and looked at Mu Qingyuan standing in front of him. From his eyes, he could see hatred and unwillingness. It turned out that he would have such eyes. Just like his mother and concubine were not dead.
The way he looked at him before. He looked away, turned around, and looked down, "Now that Nan Yao is provoking a provocation and attacking the city first, we will definitely send troops to fight back to boost the country's prestige."
"But sending troops is not a simple matter. I wonder who the prince considers to be the leader?" Yun Mocheng stood up and said.
Mu Jingnan glanced at Yun Mocheng and said indifferently: "Then who does the Prime Minister think is more handsome?"
"Now that the late emperor has passed away, the morale of our lieutenant generals is low. Naturally, we need a commander who can inspire the country's prestige in order to win the battle." Yun Mocheng nodded slightly and said accordingly.
Mu Jingnan pursed his lips slightly, put one hand on his back, looked at the ministers below and said, "I have decided to lead my Dongyue army to the border in two days to retreat from Nan Yao's army!"
"His Royal Highness is wise!" Someone immediately stood up and said.
But another minister disagreed, "Your Highness, you have just been granted the title, and now the political situation is unstable. It is precisely you who need to take charge of the overall situation here. According to my opinion, you can send the second prince or the fourth prince to go."
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Mu Jingnan looked at the people below with a stern expression, and he raised his voice and said: "In the minds of you adults, I have never made any achievements. Although I have ascended to the position of prince, I am afraid that some adults will inevitably feel dissatisfied. It just so happens that I will take this opportunity.
The king also needs to prove himself to you and the people of the world. A man is supposed to make achievements, but now that we are facing a powerful enemy, I, as the prince, should take the lead and promote the prestige of our country!"
"Okay, it's good to take the lead and promote the prestige of our country! According to Yi Ai's family, just follow what the prince said! The prince will lead the troops to relieve the danger on the border." Empress Dowager Gao took a step forward and looked at the people below.
"The prince is wise, and I obey the decree!" The officials below knelt down and said. Yun Mocheng lowered his head, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
Empress Dowager Gao nodded and continued: "The prince just came back and is probably a little tired, so today's court meeting will be dismissed."
"Your Majesty, please retire!" Immediately, all the officials withdrew.
Yun Mocheng glanced at Mu Jingnan above him, hesitated for a moment, and finally left.
Empress Dowager Gao, Mu Jingnan and others were the only ones left in the entire hall.
"Prince, now all the affairs of the court are entrusted to you. The Ai family is also tired, so we should go back and rest first." With that said, Queen Mother Gao walked out of the palace with Mother Yulian caressing her.
Seeing Empress Dowager Gao leave, Mu Qingyuan became increasingly unwilling. He took a step forward and said in a trembling voice, "Grandmother, why, why not me?!"
"Because you are not worthy!" Empress Dowager Gao did not look back and walked directly outside.
Not worthy? Not worthy? Mu Qingyuan's eyes widened, "Haha..." Suddenly he laughed wildly, he is not worthy? In the past, he was the only one who said that others were not worthy, but now some people are saying that he is not worthy, yes, he is not worthy, he is not
The Queen's legitimate son. But he couldn't figure it out. Didn't the Queen Mother hate Mu Jingnan the most? They were both concubines. Logically speaking, the Queen Mother should have chosen him. Why!
Watching Empress Dowager Gao leave, Mu Jingnan glanced at Mu Kexiang with a cold expression, and then he also walked outside.
"Mu Jingnan, don't think you can win me just like this!"
Mu Qingyuan's voice suddenly came from behind, and Mu Jingnan stopped. He tilted his head slightly and said indifferently: "You have never been among my opponents. It doesn't matter whether I win or not." With that, he moved directly forward.
Go.
Looking at the departing figure in front of him, Mu Qingyuan became even more angry. Did he mean that he was not worthy? He tilted his head and looked at Mu Kexiang who was about to leave. He sneered and said, "Do it for others."
Wedding dress, it’s not like you! Don’t you also want the throne? Why should you help him?”
"Help him? Why didn't you say he was helping me?! Besides, you don't deserve to be the emperor!" Mu Kexiang walked forward without looking back.
Mu Kexiang hesitated for a moment. How dare he say that he was unworthy? Why, why! His roar resounded throughout the hall.
Kangning Palace, in the main hall, all the palace people were evacuated, even Grandma Yulian retreated outside the palace.
Looking at the man in black standing in the center of the hall, Queen Mother Gao's haggard face showed no signs of calm. After a while, she suddenly said coldly: "Don't think that the Ai family is helping you!"
Mu Jingnan put his hands on his back and said indifferently: "I have never thought of getting your help, but the irony is that this time we are a united front. Unfortunately, I am not for the throne. If I hadn't agreed to him,
Do you think I am willing to wade into this muddy water? It's just for each of us to get what we need!" What's more, he still doesn't know the whereabouts of Yan'er.
"I didn't expect that your power has grown so much over the years, and half of the courtiers have already defected to you. The Ai family really underestimated you." Empress Dowager Gao snorted coldly.
Mu Jingnan's expression was still cold, "No matter what, it cannot be compared to the majesty of the Queen Mother. The Crown Prince will abolish it when he says it will be abolished, and he will establish it when he says it will be established."
"Are you mocking the Ai family for not knowing people well?" Empress Dowager Gao glared and said angrily.
Mu Jingnan's lips curled up slightly and he sneered, "How dare you, sir?! It's just that the identity of the Fourth Prince still surprised the Queen Mother, and in the end she had to change her original intention."
The two people's words were still as tit-for-tat as before, and the atmosphere also condensed.
Empress Dowager Gao looked at Mu Jingnan, her facial features were indescribably similar to those of the emperor, and even his temperament was the same. Fortunately, she had expected that he was not the emperor's son, but now it has become a joke.
"The Ai family heard that Yan'er also fell off the cliff. How is she doing now?" Empress Dowager Gao changed the topic and said, but she couldn't help but feel sad. Now she had to choose a topic when chatting with her grandson.
, who made her miss too much.
Upon hearing Yun Yan's name, Mu Jingnan's stern expression also changed. He frowned and whispered: "Yan'er will be fine!" As he said that, he suddenly looked at Empress Dowager Gao, "In addition, she has
Does the tasteless poison have something to do with you?!"
