1047. Chapter 1047 Whimsical

Mr. Xu raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Shiming, signaling him not to be angry. Since the Queen Mother called them into the palace today and said such words, the news about the Emperor's disappearance would not be groundless. It must be somewhat true. , what they have to do now is not to resist the Queen Mother's decision, otherwise they will be too pushy, and they don't know what the Queen Mother will do.

"The Queen Mother, since we still don't know whether something has really happened to the Emperor, we should wait for the news from Anhe City to come back before we can make a decision." Master Xu said.

Other cabinet ministers nodded along with the postscript.

"The Ai family just wants you to be mentally prepared. When they heard that something happened to the emperor, the Ai family was already in a state of confusion. They had no idea in their minds, so they had to summon you all into the palace. However, if the news of the emperor's disappearance were leaked, , Kyoto must be prepared." The Queen Mother sighed.

Lu Shiming snorted in his heart. The Queen Mother didn't have any ideas. She just had big ideas. Calling these cabinet ministers into the palace was not for discussion at all, but to get them to compromise and agree with her decision, and to make them You know, with her here, the royal family will not approve of Yaoyao's child.

If something happens to the Emperor, the Queen Mother will definitely not let Yaoyao go! Lu Shiming suddenly became nervous when he thought of this. He had to go to Anhe City to make Yaoyao more alert.

Ruan Jinghua, who had been standing silently behind Mr. Xu, asked, "Now that the young prince is supervising the country, there should be no problems."

When the Queen Mother heard this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "The young prince also needs the support of many of you to be able to stabilize."

"If bad news finally comes, there is still a young prince in Kyoto, so the Queen Mother does not have to worry too much." said Wang Weiyuan, standing next to Ruan Jinghua.

"Yes." The Queen Mother nodded, "Then let's wait for the news first."

Mr. Xu and Lu Shiming looked at each other. They already knew the purpose of the Queen Mother's summons today. In addition to wanting to tell them that something happened to the Emperor, they probably wanted to see the reactions of several ministers in the cabinet.

"Empress Dowager, please retire first." Mr. Xu bowed and resigned.

Lu Shiming followed Mr. Xu out of Cining Palace, leaving only three cabinet ministers in the hall.

"Master Xu, do you think something has really happened to the emperor?" Lu Shiming asked Master Xu in a low voice.

"It seems that the Queen Mother wants us to support the young prince to become the new king. I'm afraid it's hard to say whether something really happened to the emperor." Mr. Xu said in a low voice.

Lu Shiming said in a deep voice, "Marquis Jingning is already on his way back to Beijing. If the Queen Mother really intends to... Marquis Jingning will definitely not agree."

"The most important thing is that the Emperor is safe and sound." Mr. Xu said, "Mr. Lu, please find a way to get a trustworthy person to go to Anhe City. Now no matter who the news is, the news cannot be believed."

"That's right." Lu Shiming nodded gently.

After leaving the palace, Mr. Xu pulled Lu Shiming to his side, "Remember to be careful about the Queen's safety."

Lu Shiming's expression darkened, "The official knows."

In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at the three ministers, "My lords, what do you think we should do now? You have just seen that Lu Shiming and the Queen are father and daughter. Even if the child in the Queen's belly is not the Emperor's, he They will definitely confuse right and wrong. Although Mr. Xu is wise and reasonable, he and Ye Yiqing are close friends and have a close relationship with the Lu family. They will definitely be on the same side. If they stir up trouble in the court, the Ai family will not know what to do. It’s good.”

"The Queen Mother, everyone in the imperial court is quite satisfied with the supervision of the young prince. If something happens to the emperor, and the young prince is here, the queen mother does not have to worry. As for the queen... there is no news about her now, just in case. Did she disappear with the emperor?" Zheng Cheng said with his hands lowered.

The Queen Mother glanced at him lightly, sounding very satisfied, "The Ai family does have such worries. Hey, the young prince and the emperor are brothers. The emperor taught him with all his heart, but the Ai family treated him relatively well. Don’t worry, it’s just... you have to establish yourself as the crown prince first, and then you can be fair and just when you ascend the throne in the future.”

Wang Weiyuan said, "If the news of the emperor's disappearance spreads, a crown prince will have to be appointed even if he is not appointed."

"Do you think all the officials in the imperial court will support the young prince?" the Queen Mother asked.

How do people respond to this? To support the young prince is to rebel against the current emperor. They all know the emperor's iron-fisted methods. If nothing happens to the emperor, their final end will not be good, unless the young prince can secure the throne.

However, the temptation of Conglong Gong is too great... Look at the few people around the emperor who have Conglong Gong. Everyone has more status than them. As time goes by, they will have no place in the cabinet sooner or later.

"The Queen Mother, the young prince is definitely more suitable than the newborn baby." Wang Weiyuan had no choice but to reply.

This answer is enough.

"But... don't forget that behind the Queen, besides Lu Shiming, there are also Ye Yiqing and his son. They are not so easy to deal with." Zheng Cheng reminded.

Ruan Jinghua, who had been silent all this time, said, "The top priority is to inquire about the emperor's news first. Also, recently, we need to let the young prince get along with the courtiers more and establish his prestige."

"Master Ruan is right. You go down and prepare first. The emperor's news should be sent back to Kyoto soon," the Queen Mother said.

As long as she has the support of the courtiers, even if the news of the emperor's death spreads, she will not cause chaos in the capital.

"The Queen Mother, the Jinwu Guards and the generals guarding the city should all be under control first." Wang Weiyuan reminded.

"You're right." The Queen Mother nodded. She almost forgot these two most important people. In the past, Tang Zhen was in charge of the Jinwu Guard. Now that Tang Zhen is away, she must first control the Jinwu Guard. OK.

Ruan Jinghua sighed in his heart and shook his head. Mr. Xu's guess was indeed correct. The Queen Mother was too whimsical.

Since the emperor can leave Kyoto with peace of mind, how can he let others seize power and control Kyoto so easily?

I don't know what the young prince is thinking. I hope he is an understanding person, otherwise... I'm afraid the outcome will not be very good.

"You go first and do what the Ai family tells you." The Queen Mother ordered.

If you want Merongyi to become the next new emperor, you have to prepare too many things. First, you have to make everyone believe that the emperor is no longer here...

At this time, the Queen Mother was only thinking about how to turn Merong Yi into the new emperor. She had forgotten that Merong Zhan was also her son, her biological son.

If the emperor is really gone...

"Then there's no need for Lu Yaoyao to come back." A sneer appeared on the corner of the Queen Mother's lips.
