Sheng Hong was the closest and had the quickest reaction. He quickly leaned over to check. Concubine Duan in the corner also let out an earth-shattering cry of pain, and then rushed forward to cry.
The eleven-year-old boy was lying on the ground with a miserable look on his face. His body was already extremely weak after a serious illness, but no one suspected that An Wang's fainting was fake.
Queen Mother Yu behind the screen was so angry that her face turned black.
This Prince An is really a loser. She only called him in front of her for questioning, but he was so frightened that he fainted. This scene happened to fall in the eyes of the elders, and she, the one-time queen mother, had no face at all.
Place it!
Queen Mother Yu also "fainted" in anger.
Zhilan and Yuqiao also exclaimed: "The Queen Mother!"
"The Queen Mother fainted!"
This time, what a mess!
Xie Mingxi twitched the corners of her sarcastic lips invisibly, with an anxious look on her face at the right time, and quickly walked around the screen: "Empress! Empress, what's wrong with you? Come on, please announce that the envoy from Zhaoyuan is here!"
In the midst of the chaos, Zhao Yuanshi and several other imperial doctors quickly responded to the summons and crowded in front of Empress Dowager Yu's phoenix. King An, who was also unconscious, had no one to care about him.
The elders each frowned.
As courtiers, they were not in a position to interfere or ask too much about matters in the palace. However, the status of King An in the palace could be seen from the details. Under such circumstances, Queen Mother Yu couldn't promote King An even if she wanted to.
stand up.
Then, the attitude expressed by Empress Dowager Yu before became even more thought-provoking.
Sheng Hong ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, go to the imperial hospital again and summon two imperial doctors to come and treat King An!"
This is how a brother behaves!
Mr. Lu Ge, Mr. Fang Ge and others exchanged glances, and then resigned together: "Your Highness, I will retire together."
Sheng Hong slightly nodded: "My mother and my ninth brother are both in a coma, so I have no time to see them off. Please forgive me, sirs."
Regardless of his political talents, this approachability is very rare.
Of course, it's possible that it's all just an act. Just like Emperor Jian'an back then, he was famous for being generous and gentle when he was a prince. As soon as he sat on the dragon throne, he suddenly seemed to be a different person. His true face of narrow-mindedness and narrow-mindedness was soon revealed.
.
However, Empress Dowager Yu had no choice at this time. In the hearts of the important ministers in the court, no one could compare with King Shu.
…
Several cabinet elders returned to the cabinet to discuss matters and quickly finalized the regulations.
Empress Dowager Yu can no longer be allowed to delay the matter of establishing the emperor.
Two days later, all officials in the court jointly submitted a memorial, requesting the king of Shu to be crowned emperor. Elder Lu Ge held the memorial in his hands and stepped into the Jiaofang Hall again together with several other elders.
It is impossible for Queen Mother Yu to "faint" a second time.
Facing the sincere faces of the pavilion elders, I looked at the names of hundreds of officials signed densely on the memorial, including even the names of Yu Zhangyuan, his father and his son, and Mr. Gu.
This is the so-called desire of the people, invincible!
Even though Empress Dowager Yu had all kinds of means, she had no room to use them. She couldn't resist the words of the elders in the cabinet: "The country cannot be left without a king and the emperor must not be delayed any longer." She had no choice but to give in.
Queen Mother Yu relaxed and the matter was settled.
Unexpectedly, after the King of Shu accepted the call, he resolutely refused: "...When my father was still alive, I made it clear to him that we had no intention of competing for the throne."
"After the emperor's brother succeeded to the throne, I was the first to go and join the feudal clan. In order to clear the emperor's suspicions."
"In the past two years or so, I have made great achievements in Shu, and I have long regarded Shu as my home. With my little ability, it is difficult for me to run my own home well. How can I shoulder the important responsibility of the country? I beg you.
The queen mother takes back her life and chooses a wise man as the new emperor!"
Everyone can understand the King of Shu's refusal to show off. However, his attitude is too firm and it doesn't look like he is acting at all!
Mr. Lu Ge was a little surprised. The other elders also had their own thoughts.
However, it's not time for them to talk yet, so they just sit back and watch.
Empress Dowager Yu suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly: "There are many ministers in the court who are dedicated and responsible. Wen can govern the country, and martial arts can stabilize the country. It doesn't matter if you are not very capable, as long as you know how to tolerate people and how to tolerate them."
Surong, the king of Shu, handed over his hand: "My son has been wearing women's clothes since he was eight years old, and he did not resume his status as a prince until he was fourteen years old. The life of those years also had a profound impact on my son. His temperament is always a bit absurd and willful, and his actions
capricious."
"My son is self-aware, and with such a temperament, he really cannot sit on the throne. Please forgive me, Queen Mother!"
It’s like getting a bargain and still being nice!
A trace of anger flashed in Empress Dowager Yu's eyes, and her tone became tougher: "According to what you said, King An did not do things properly at a young age, Brother Ji and the others are still young, and his own father has made a big mistake, so it is not appropriate to adopt him."
I will succeed to the throne in the name of Empress Xiao. No one is suitable, so why should the Great Qi Dragon Seat remain empty like this?"
As soon as the words came out, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, the King of Shu immediately answered the question: "The Queen Mother is wise and decisive, and is also quite familiar with political affairs. Just choose a young new emperor and let the Queen Mother take charge of the affairs and act as regent."
Mr. Lu Ge and others looked at Queen Mother Yu together, with a look of caution in their eyes.
Queen Mother Yu: "..."
What a cruel move!
After going around and around, it turned out that a deep pit had been dug here. She accidentally fell into the pit.
Empress Dowager Yu has been in charge of the harem for decades. Apart from some hidden losses from Empress Dowager Li, she has never been cheated like this. At this time, her heart was boiling, and she relied on her extraordinary self-control.
Then he suppressed it.
Empress Dowager Yu was not someone to be trifled with, and immediately sneered: "After all, it turns out that she is afraid of the Ai family. What a king of Shu, he has not yet obtained the throne or sat on the dragon throne, but he has begun to think about suppressing the Ai family.
.That’s all, the Ai family immediately ordered to move to the imperial mausoleum and live with your father and brother. I will not hinder your eyes in the palace."
He opened his mouth with "you", obviously dragging in Princess Xie Mingxi, Princess of Shu.
If this reputation for unfilial piety is confirmed, the king of Shu will inevitably be criticized when he ascends the throne. How can Xie Mingxi have the face to be in charge of the middle palace?
The King of Shu immediately knelt down and apologized: "My son, I never meant this, please calm down my mother."
"My mother has been in charge of the palace for decades without making any mistakes. She has raised a group of princes and taught them carefully, never slacking off. Her children also remember the mother's teachings deeply in their hearts, and they never look back."
"My son admires and respects his mother, and he is well aware of his talents. That's why I made this suggestion without any scruples, and I have no intention of suppressing her."
"If the mother cannot trust my son, I will make an oath to heaven. The son has no intention of becoming an emperor, and the son is sincere in asking his mother to serve as regent. If he violates this oath, the son will not dare to be a descendant of the Sheng family.
