The Empress Dowager refused to agree at first, but who is Mr. Jiao?
To be transferred back to the capital by the emperor after being demoted, he is definitely not a simple person; to be the chief minister, he is definitely not a kind person.
Mr. Jiao broke up all the powerful connections one by one and explained the situation to the Empress Dowager in detail. They couldn't do it without establishing a queen. Sooner or later, they would have to establish a queen. Instead of causing disagreements between the emperor and the ministers over the matter of establishing a queen in the future, it would be better to
Taking this opportunity to make a decision, I believe the Holy Spirit can understand their difficulties.
In the end, Mr. Jiao even promised that if the emperor wakes up in three months and takes the blame, he will bear the full responsibility.
Of course, this was not the main reason why the Empress Dowager agreed. The reason why the Empress Dowager agreed was because Master Jiao said that apart from this reason, he really could not think of any other way.
The Empress Dowager had no idea at this time. Although Mr. Jiao's statement was a bit far-fetched, it finally explained the reason why the Emperor had not seen anyone for ten days and the Empress Dowager took charge of the palace.
Grandfather and grandson are fighting against each other!
"Then, let's do it like this. Let's go through these three months first. As for what happens after three months, let's wait until the Holy One wakes up." The Empress Dowager sighed heavily, closed her eyes, and looked resigned to her fate.
If Feng Yuqian didn't find anyone, the emperor would be dead. It was too early for her to think about what would happen in three months! The most important thing at the moment was to get through these three months.
"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, I will definitely handle this matter properly." With the Empress Dowager's words, Mr. Jiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
No matter what, a breakthrough was finally found in the matter of the emperor's appointment as queen.
Mr. Jiao recalled what he said to Feng Sijin, fearing that Feng Sijin would really bring people into the palace tomorrow morning, so he hurriedly asked the Empress Dowager to leave.
"The key to the palace has been lost, and the Ai family has asked someone to give it to you. Mr. Jiao, remember, you must not tell anyone else about this except you." The Empress Dowager waved her hands tiredly, and then explained after thinking about it.
One sentence.
She was getting older and had been worrying about the emperor these days, so she really didn't have the energy to stay up late.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I know what's appropriate." Mr. Jiao promised with a serious look on his face.
The matter is serious and he will not mess around!
Outside the palace, many people were watching Master Jiao's whereabouts. When they saw Master Jiao leaving the palace in the middle of the night, those who inquired about the news hurriedly went back to report, and the ministers who heard the news were somewhat relieved.
Master Jiao was able to come out safely, so there shouldn't be any big problems in the palace. Perhaps their emperor left the palace privately and didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he didn't see anyone.
And that night, they received another message from Mr. Jiao, saying that they would go to court tomorrow.
At this time, all the courtiers were determined.
Since the emperor's personal expedition, the morning court has been cancelled, and it has not been resumed until now. Now Lord Jiao has informed us that the morning court will be held tomorrow. His Majesty must be fine.
If the Holy Emperor is fine, the Qin Dynasty will not be in chaos; if the Qin Dynasty is not in chaos, they will not be in danger. The ministers have been worried for more than ten days, and finally they can sleep peacefully.
However, when Feng Sijin received the news, he couldn't close his eyes. It was just that he had been guessing for a long time and couldn't figure out what Qin Jiyan meant.
The next day, a quarter of an hour before the morning meeting, officials arrived one after another.
All the ministers changed their worries from the past few days, and all of them were red-faced and in high spirits. Before the time came, they gathered together in twos and threes to chat, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Only Feng Sijin's face was pale and his expression was solemn, but he was now in an official position.
I was still young, so not many people noticed me when I stood at the end. Even if someone saw me, they wouldn't come up to ask at this time.
Time passed by, and there was only one stick of incense left before the morning meeting. All the courtiers stopped talking and stood in their positions one by one. At this time, Master Jiao walked in.
"Morning, Mr. Chief Assistant!"
"Morning, Mr. Chief Assistant!"
…
Master Jiao walked along, and the officials from both sides greeted him all the way until he came to the front. However, Master Jiao did not stand in his position today, but took a step forward and walked to the center of the hall, "We are summoned today.
In the morning, there is something important to announce."
"Ah? What's the matter? Didn't the emperor return to the capital, and the morning court meeting was as usual?" When the officials below heard this, they were furious, and the officials in front asked directly.
Lord Jiao did not answer, but said with a serious face: "Your Majesty speaks from your mouth, kneel down..." Yes, he is falsely passing on the imperial edict.
As for the consequences?
Mr. Jiao is not afraid either, the Empress Dowager is here.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." All the ministers were stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt down.
"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, the Holy General will marry the Queen in three months, and the Ministry of Etiquette will prepare for the ceremony of conferring the Queen. The Empress Dowager allowed the Holy General to fast and meditate for three months before the Queen Mother was established, without seeing anyone!
Master Jiao finished his words concisely, at least why there is no name for fasting and meditating.
After the verbal metaphor was finished, the ministers were stunned for a long time. It was not until Mr. Jiao coughed lightly that everyone came to their senses, said "Long live", and got up stupidly one by one.
However, after standing up, the ministers did not regain their composure. Instead, they looked at me and I looked at you, all of them looking confused.
"Everyone, Your Majesty, you will fast and pray for blessings for these three months. You will not see anyone and will leave if you have nothing to do." After Master Jiao said this, he drove the people away, but...
The ministers were so frightened by the news that they dared to leave easily.
As soon as Mr. Jiao drove them away, they woke up.
"Master Jiao, why did the Holy One suddenly want to establish a queen? Didn't the Holy One always refuse to establish a queen before?" Didn't you hear that Gu Qiancheng came back alive?
"Yes, Mr. Jiao... Didn't the Holy One refuse to establish a queen no matter what?" He would rather establish a crown prince than a queen. Their Holy Emperor is not someone who is easy to persuade. Now he suddenly said that he wanted to establish a queen. Everyone.
The minister had to ask a few more questions.
"The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager threatened her with death. The Holy Lord is benevolent and filial, and could not bear the disappointment of the Empress Dowager, so she agreed." Mr. Jiao gave the official answer.
"So, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have been talking to the Holy One about establishing a queen for the past ten days?" A "smart" official deduced.
Mr. Jiao remained silent, which was another kind of acquiescence.
"It is indeed time for the Holy Emperor to establish a queen. The harem always needs a master. The Emperor has been away for half a year on his own expedition, and there is no one to take care of things in the palace. The Empress Dowager is old and cannot help for a few years. It is imperative to establish a queen.
." The Queen is not just a decoration, there are many official activities that require the Queen's presence.
They had endured the emperor's refusal to accept concubines, but they could not continue to refuse to establish a queen. When the empress dowager was there, they did not say anything. The empress dowagers on the left and right came forward on their behalf, but how many years could the empress dowager help?
Now, the Empress Dowager forces the Holy Emperor to establish a Queen, which is really the best thing. They don't have to be evil people.
"How come you have to fast for three months and not see people for three months? This... seems unreasonable?"
"How will you handle your official duties while your Majesty is fasting?"
"When the Holy One returned to Beijing, he fasted without even showing his face. Mr. Jiao, would you like to ask the Holy One to show his face first?"
"Three months is too long. Even if Your Majesty wants to fast, it doesn't take that long?"
