Ning Qingyu's determination did not waver at all, "But if I choose the first option, what's the difference between it and King Yan? What's the point of you supporting me?"
"This time, Wei Chen is convinced."
Zhang Bo bowed deeply.
Next to them, Li Yao, Qian Taolue and Zhang Zhengju did the same.
"In this case, Song has no objections."
Song Xu had to admit at this time that perhaps letting Ning Qingyu ascend the throne was the best choice.
"By the way, Mr. Song, since ancient times, the method implemented by many kings is to accumulate prestige first, and then ascend the throne and claim the throne. Can't the empress not proclaim the king first, and then proclaim the king when the prestige is enough?"
Zhang Zhengju was a little confused, "Will this reduce a lot of risks?"
Song Xu shook his head: "This may be feasible for men, but it is absolutely impossible for the empress. When there is a foreign war, after the empress ascends the throne, she can use the war to eliminate all threats after she ascends the throne. But if you wait until
If you ascend the throne after the war is over, many people who should oppose it will still oppose it."
"What's more, have you ever thought about how, at that time, if the young princes and grandsons grow up and some of them are outstanding, how will the empress and you and I get along? Wouldn't it be that someone else's wedding dress was in vain?"
They agreed to support Ning Qingyu. Firstly, Ning Qingyu was indeed outstanding, and secondly, they wanted to be famous forever. If they put down the war by then, and the fruits of victory were picked off by a descendant of the Li family, everything they had done would be in vain.
, then I won’t be depressed and vomit blood.
"Of course, ascending the throne cannot be rushed. Before that, all arrangements must be made, at least to ensure stability in the short term, so that we can successfully win the first war."
Song Xu said, bowing to Ning Qingyu, "Please give me the order."
Ning Qingyu did her job and waved her sleeves: "Xu Guang obeys the order."
"The end will be here."
"The Forbidden Army currently has no commander, so it will be up to you, the deputy commander, to control the Forbidden Army."
"yes."
"Wu Yue listens to the order, and it is up to you to control the imperial guards and ensure the stability of the palace."
"Qian Tao slightly obeys the order. You are responsible for controlling the industrial and commercial class and not allowing them to cause any trouble."
"Zhang Zhengju listens to the order, you are responsible for the order of Yanjing"
Orders were handed down one by one by Ning Qingyu, and all the officials present came and took orders one after another.
After arranging the others, Ning Qingyu looked at Taishi Zhang Bo: "Master Zhang, then I will leave it to you to appease the emotions of the ministers in the court."
"I will do my best to ensure that they do not do anything stupid before the first war begins."
Zhang Bo said seriously.
"Master Li."
Ning Qingyu turned her attention to Li Yao again, "I will leave it to you to take charge of the Li clan."
"With my ministers here, they will not be able to cause any trouble."
Li Yao said, "But before that, we must seek the consent of Zhuang Qingzhai and Marshal Lu."
Everyone else nodded, Ning Qingyu wanted to become king, but without the support of Zhuang Qingzhai and Lu Jiuxiao, it would never be possible.
On the same day, Ning Qingyu sent a letter to Zhuang Qingzhai and Lu Jiuxiao, expressing the content of the meeting and the final result.
Northern border.
In the camp, Lu Jiuxiao looked complicated.
He actually had this premonition as early as when he was on Yueshan Mountain.
That's why he looked at Ning Qingyu complicatedly many times and chose to leave afterwards.
He will not participate in the decision on this kind of matter and can only wait for the decision to come.
But he didn't expect that the decision would come so quickly.
the next day.
Ning Qingyu received a reply from Lu Jiuxiao. There was only one word in the letter: "Yes."
On the same day, Zhuang Qingzhai also sent someone to reply: "I am willing to help drive the great cause of eternity."
Time passes day by day.
On the fifth day, Ning Qingyu was sitting in Chengqian Palace reviewing memorials, when suddenly a palace maid came to report.
"explain."
Ning Qingyu said calmly.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince just made a statement again, urging you to lift his house arrest as soon as possible, saying that no one in Yan country is qualified to ascend the throne except him. If you continue to house him, after he ascends the throne, you will be allowed to
Let you"
After speaking, the maid became stammering.
"What do you want me to do?"
Ning Qingyu raised her head, looked at the palace maid and smiled.
Seeing Ning Qingyu's smile, the palace maid immediately calmed down, and her words became smoother, and she said angrily: "This eldest prince actually said that if you treat him well, he can be polite and respect you. It's great. Otherwise,
After he ascends the throne, he will take you as his concubine and let you taste the power of his king."
Hearing this, Ning Qingyu's eyes turned cold, but then she waved her hand: "I understand, I am sending an order from this palace. From now on, I will cut all supplies for the eldest prince in half, and he will not be allowed to step out of Ciqing Palace.
Half a step."
Ciqing Palace, this is the palace of the eldest prince. Ever since Yue Shan returned, Ning Qingyu has put him under house arrest in the palace.
"yes."
The palace maid stuck out her tongue and realized that Ning Qingyu was really angry.
But she had nothing to worry about. In her opinion, no matter whether Ning Qingyu was the Queen Mother or the Imperial Concubine, her status would still be the same in the future, and she would be right to serve her well.
News about Ciqing Palace and Chengqian Palace soon reached Lin Mu's ears.
This was not because he was well-informed, but because Ning Qingyu did not hide anything from him and would ask the palace maid to send him a message whenever something happened.
"The eldest prince?"
There seemed to be no anger on Lin Mu's face, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
Maybe Ning Qingyu regarded the eldest prince as a clown and didn't want to argue with him, but he couldn't bear it.
Later, Lin Mu smiled and said to Xu Guang: "I heard that the relationship between the third prince and the eldest prince has always been very bad?"
"certainly."
After meeting at the Peony Banquet last time, Xu Guang and Lin Mu already had a very good relationship, and they spoke much more casually than others. "These two have been competing for the position of crown prince for more than ten years, and it doesn't matter if they say they are in the same boat."
Pass."
"Then tell me, if the third prince learns that the eldest prince will inherit the throne in the future, will he be willing to do so?"
Lin Mu smiled even more sinisterly.
"Don't say he's willing, I think he might even be interested in peeling off the eldest prince's skin."
Xu Guang shook his head.
"That's good."
Lin Mu's eyes calmed down, "Xu Guang, do me a favor and tell the third prince that the eldest prince is about to inherit the throne, and arrange for him to go to Ciqing Palace."
Xu Guang was not stupid. When he heard this, he immediately understood why Lin Mu suddenly cared about the eldest prince, and was trembling all over. At this time, asking the third prince to see the eldest prince, this can only be said
Lin Mu is so insidious.
Ciqing Palace.
"This bitch."
The eldest prince soon discovered that instead of showing any signs of releasing him, Ning Qingyu had reduced the material supply he enjoyed by half, and he became furious.
Then, a sinister look appeared in his eyes: "I don't believe you can put me under house arrest for the rest of my life. Even if I can tolerate it, the clan members and ministers outside can't tolerate it. Sooner or later, they will take me out to ascend the throne."
Gululu
At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair turning came from outside the door.
