Dominating the world is the dream of many men. From ancient times to the present, countless heroes have paid the price of their lives for this. When the third prince Ji Cheng stood in front of this seat, he couldn't help but beam with joy and quickly responded to the Queen Mother: "You
Don’t worry, I will do my best to promote the country of Yan. “
The Queen Mother nodded happily, "Okay, you are the king, and you can call yourself me in the future. Also, the current situation is unstable, and you also need a capable person to assist you. Let Princess Yanshan help handle national affairs."
, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask her.”
What he said was very clear, and Jicheng also heard it. The Queen Mother was not very confident about him, so she arranged for her aunt to be the regent. He didn't have much opinion on this.
He turned around obediently and saluted his aunt, "I'll have to thank you for your help in the future. If I've done anything wrong, please correct me."
Ji Yurong quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Don't take it seriously. I will do my best to assist Your Majesty."
A smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face. She held Ji Cheng with her left hand and Ji Yurong with her right hand. She said expectantly: "The Kingdom of Yan will be left to you. Don't let me down."
The two said in unison: "Yes."
The Queen Mother said again: "You also listen, Princess Yanshan has the power to handle national affairs, mobilize the army and even appoint and dismiss officials. You dear ladies are not allowed to violate her will. Now the Ai family has handed over the dragon and tiger military talisman and the seal of the military marshal."
He got it."
As she waved her hand, the two old palace maids behind came forward, both holding trays in their hands. On them were placed brocade boxes with different patterns, one large and one small, with the golden seal of the Generalissimo and the one that can dispatch all the people in the country.
The army's dragon and tiger talisman was now handed over by the Queen Mother to her daughter Ji Yurong, which means that the latter is in charge of the military.
Holding the stacked brocade boxes in her snow-white jade hands, Ji Yurong felt the responsibility given to her, bowed and said, "Thank you, mother, for your trust. I will do my best."
The Queen Mother nodded, with a trace of love flashing in her eyes, "You are trustworthy. The future of Yan country depends on you and Cheng'er."
At this point, the military power of the Yan Kingdom was in the hands of Ji Yurong. Although she was not named a generalissimo, she still exercised the same power. She became the most noble woman and had great power.
Among the many officials, Qiu Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy. My godmother is so powerful. It is estimated that no one in the court would dare to mess with me in the future, which would save me a lot of worry.
The civil and military officials were not surprised at all by this result, and felt that the general trend was inevitable. King Yun fell, the prime minister was dismissed, and the new king's foundation was still shallow. Only the heroine Princess Yanshan could take on this important task.
The Queen Mother's face became serious again, and she said in a cold voice: "The Ai family has made a final decree. From now on, no one in the harem, no matter the empress or the concubines, is allowed to participate in the government affairs. Anyone who disobeys the order will be put to death."
Everyone was awestruck, and there was a corresponding response in their minds. They must have warned Concubine Yan. After all, as the mother of the new king, Concubine Yan became more prominent. It turned out that she was also very ambitious. It seemed that the Queen Mother had taken precautions to prevent her from having any trouble.
The opportunity to intervene in Chao Gang was really great, and his mind was too clear.
The Queen Mother continued: "The Ai family will also abide by this decree. Tomorrow, they will leave the palace and go to Yulian Temple to practice. From now on, they will no longer be involved in the affairs of the court and spend the rest of their lives there."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised, and some officials hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay, "There is no need for her to be like this, Queen Mother. The country of Yan relies on your wisdom to tide over the difficulties, and it will also need your guidance in the future."
"Yes, Chao Gang still needs the Queen Mother to be in charge, so please think twice..."
Qiu Yu secretly thought, this is the best, it will save you old lady from always meddling in other people's business and being an eyesore here. It will be good for you and everyone to go to a nunnery to practice.
The efforts of the civil and military officials to stay did not make the Queen Mother change her mind. She said solemnly: "That's it. The Ai family should set an example. It's getting late, so you can just wait in the palace. The funeral of King Yan and the Crown Prince will be held tomorrow morning. Thank you for your help.
, Aijia is tired, let’s go and rest first.”
After the words fell, there was another sigh. The officials saw clearly that the Queen Mother looked much older. Thinking about the series of things that had happened to her, the old man was exhausted mentally and physically. Her son died and was imprisoned, and her grandson also died tragically. The Yan Empire was in a precarious state.
During the process, she turned the tide and put the new king on the throne. She really did her job. When it was time to leave, she was already in her dying years and her health was not very good. She had a craniotomy on her head and she was still alive.
How many years have passed since I couldn't afford to worry anymore.
The Queen Mother left, and Ji Cheng sat on the golden throne, with excitement on his face. It seemed that the death of his father did not make him sad at all. Ji Yurong shook his head secretly, feeling that this son was really not the material, and he was older than Qiu.
Yu is still a few years older, but he is far different from him in every aspect.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother has arranged for Ji Yurong to control the overall situation. She put away the marshal's seal and the dragon and tiger talisman, and said: "Everyone, the new king has ascended the throne. The ceremony will be held one month after the funeral of the previous king. If you have any suggestions and opinions, please submit them now.
Come out, don't be rigid, you can speak freely."
In this case, Qiu Yu was not polite and said loudly after leaving the queue: "The general has a suggestion."
This boy was not polite. A smile flashed in Ji Yurong's eyes. She liked the adopted son's character, "Qiu Du, please tell me."
What Qiu Yu mentioned was Ji Ye, the previously dismissed Lord of Tongguan City, who now led a mixed army to the capital and made great contributions. He wanted to recruit him and his subordinates to serve the country.
When Ji Ye was mentioned, Ji Yurong was also very impressed. He understood that this person was kind to Qiu Yu and had a close relationship with him, so he nodded and said: "It makes sense. Ji Ye was framed before and was demoted to a commoner. Not only did he have no resentment
, but still cares about the imperial court, so he deserves to be rewarded."
This was what Qiu Yu was waiting for, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He also mentioned the outstanding performance of Ouyang Lun and Zhong Mingzhu in the defense of the capital. Ji Yurong understood that since his adopted son had been promoted to general, and his capable men had also made military exploits, he would naturally be promoted.
Official position, so the three of them were transferred to the main hall.
As a former court official, Ji Ye was loyal and had always dreamed of getting rid of his status as a fugitive and returning to his official career. At this moment, he finally got his wish. He appeared in high spirits in front of many officials. The other two were young talents Ouyang Lun and Zhong Mingzhu.
It's all spirited.
These three people were all granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Rank, and the tens of thousands of people under Ji Ye's control also became regular soldiers and were integrated into the army under Qiu Yu's control. Everyone was happy.
Ji Cheng, who was on the throne, felt a little bored. At this moment, he was like a puppet, letting his aunt arrange it. He wanted to make a decision, but he had no way to talk about it, and he had nothing to talk about. Moreover, he was quite jealous of Qiu Yu, for fear that he would
The son was resentful for doing something wrong and would not give him any panacea in the future, so he made up his mind to enjoy himself in peace and quiet.
