"There is another imperial edict. The Ai family should come and read it in person!" The Queen Mother glanced at everyone and said to Gu Chengyu.
All the officials looked at each other in confusion, wondering why there would be another imperial edict after the imperial edict to pass the throne had been issued.
"Your Majesty, please listen!" The Queen Mother took another imperial edict and unfolded it.
Gu Chengyu knelt down with all the officials. He looked at the white marble steps in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart!
"The emperor who carries the destiny of heaven says: The saint's benevolence has brought great fortune. Throughout the world, all heaven and earth will be filled with honor. Gu Chengyu, the minister of Dali Temple, has made great contributions in protecting the country. His reputation is in this world, and his merits will last for thousands of years. Now, in compliance with God's will, he has appointed Gu Chengyu, the minister of Dali Temple, as the regent of the current dynasty.
, assisting the young emperor and co-managing the government affairs.
Admire this!
"March 20, the second year of Guanghui"
As soon as this imperial edict came out, all civil and military officials were shocked. They did not expect that the emperor would do this before he died.
"If you dare, please ask the Queen Mother Rong Chen to raise objections!" Yu Zheng was the first to jump out. Now most people in the court have begun to turn against Gu Chengyu. If Gu Chengyu becomes the regent again, will they still have a good life in the future?
With an eight-year-old puppet emperor and a capable regent, it goes without saying that the Dayan Dynasty will be ruled by Gu Chengyu in the future. What is the difference between that and Gu Chengyu ascending to the top? If the eldest prince is no longer more capable, whether he can personally rule in the future is a matter of two questions.
explain.
"Exactly!" The Queen Mother glanced at Yu Zheng with contempt. She wanted to see what kind of ivory could come out of these people's mouths.
Her prince had just left Hexi, and his body had not even cooled down. How dare these people raise objections to the imperial edict? If the prince was still alive, how dare these people behave like this?
She was originally worried that Gu Chengyu would take control of the government, and it would not be easy for Brother Ye to take back the political power. However, now that she saw these calculating faces, she understood the emperor's painstaking efforts.
No matter whether Gu Chengyu will change his original intention in the future and hold on to the government affairs, at least he has no such thoughts yet. But at this moment, these people are already thinking about the Zhao family.
She would rather trust Gu Chengyu than these ruthless people. These people have objections to this imperial edict because they are afraid that the court will be controlled by Gu Chengyu and they will no longer be able to use their methods against Brother Ye!
"To report to the Queen Mother, the emperor has passed away and the eldest prince will succeed him. We have no objection! However, although Gu Chengyu, the Minister of Dali Temple, has contributed to the court, he only holds an official position of the third rank, so he hastily promoted him to the regent of the first rank.
The king is really inappropriate. He is not a member of the royal family, and he is not a powerful relative. It is really unconvincing to let him serve as regent. What’s more, princes of the opposite sex have always been a taboo for the court, and how many princes of the opposite sex have rebelled in the past?"
Yu Zheng felt that the Queen Mother and the Empress did not want Gu Chengyu to become the Regent. After all, the eldest prince was young, and they would not be willing to put such great power in Gu Chengyu's hands, whether for selfish reasons or for the sake of the court.
Therefore, if this matter is not provoked, when will we wait?
The Queen Mother is older and may not be so ambitious, but the Queen is still in her prime, wouldn't she be tempted? Even if she is not tempted, what about the Lang family behind her?
"Wei Chen thought that Your Majesty's words made sense. When we arrived, we found that the Queen Mother and others were waiting outside the palace before the emperor passed away. Then there was only Gu Siqing in the palace. Who knows how this imperial edict came from?
"I have doubts about the authenticity of this imperial edict, and I would like to ask the Queen Mother to be clear-minded and not to be deceived by treacherous ministers." Lang Ping immediately stepped forward and agreed.
As the head of the state, he naturally hopes that the queen will listen to politics behind the curtain. How could he give such great power to Gu Chengyu?
There are still twelve years until the Emperor is crowned weak. Even if he is crowned in advance, it will be enough for the Lang family to plan. In just a few years, the Lang family will become one of the top aristocratic families in the capital.
Even if the emperor takes charge by then, the Lang family will already have a firm foothold in the court and become an unstoppable existence. The Lang family will be able to thrive for at least a hundred years.
Gu Chengyu snorted coldly. He knew that these people would be dissatisfied, but what should he do? He had an imperial decree in his hand, unless the Queen Mother and the Empress could really ignore the Emperor's decree. But is this possible?
The Emperor's bones are still cold. If the Queen Mother and the Queen really do this, they will really be reviled by the world. Not only is it unreasonable, but it is also intolerable by the law.
Lang Ping winked at the queen, who was stunned for a moment. Then she looked at the imperial edict in Gu Chengyu's hand, and her red eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of complexity.
Before, she was still immersed in the sadness of the emperor's death, and she didn't care about the affairs of the court. Now after her father mentioned it, she thought of it.
It is natural that the throne should be inherited by Brother Ye. However, Brother Ye is still young now. What if Gu Chengyu still holds on to the throne when Brother Ye wants to take charge of the throne?
What's more, the emperor was very wary of the Lang family when he was still alive. Now, except for his father, no one in the Lang family holds a high position in the court. The rest of the clan are of very low rank. If she can listen to the government behind the scenes, she can take the opportunity to promote her.
With the help of other clan members, Brother Ye's throne can be made more stable.
Their Lang family can become the top aristocratic family in Beijing. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
Thinking of this, the queen also felt that she could not let Gu Chengyu become the regent, otherwise what would happen to the Lang family?
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Gu Chengyu took a look at the ministers who seconded the proposal and remembered their names and faces. They seemed to be dissatisfied with him. Unfortunately, they were all too naive. The more they objected, the less likely the Queen Mother would agree. Not only would she not agree,
Yes, and will still be wary of these people.
Now that the eldest prince has succeeded to the throne, it is a difficult time. What these people do can be said to be Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it!
The empress dowager should be more frightened by the impatience of these people than by him. Maybe one day the little emperor will be torn apart by these people and no bones will be left.
As for the queen, Gu Chengyu turned around and glanced at her. No matter what the other party thought in her heart, it was nothing to worry about!
"You can come and verify whether this imperial edict is written by the emperor himself! What's more, it is stamped with a jade seal. May I ask how I can fake it?"
Gu Chengyu took the imperial edict and put it away carefully. These people were just bullying the young emperor!
"At that time, there were only you and the emperor in the palace. Who knows if you hijacked the emperor and asked him to write this imperial edict?" Lang Ping snorted coldly. Anyway, there was no one to witness at the time. Everyone's mouth is worth talking about, even if it is true.
, if too many people say it, it will become false.
If this imperial edict can be overturned, the benefits in the future will be great. He has already begun to form cliques for personal gain, and there are many ministers in the court and government who support him.
Gu Chengyu shook his head, these people really would not give up until they reach the Yellow River!
Just when the Queen Mother was about to open her mouth to reject it, a childish voice sounded in front of her, "Of course this imperial edict is true. My father has already discussed this edict with me!"
