Chapter 542: The New Emperor? (Third Change, Please Subscribe and Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"Humble duty to meet the empress dowager."
Ji Wulian did not expect that the empress dowager would come to see him.
She is the biological mother of today's eldest dutiful son, and also the daughter-in-law of the old emperor.
"Ai Qing is free of courtesy, Ai Qing rescued my child from danger. I should have come to see Ai Qing earlier, but now the palace is busy, and it has been delayed until today."
The empress dowager didn't even call herself Aijia anymore, she directly called herself old in front of Ji Wulian.
There is a bit of goodwill in and out of the words.
Ji Wulian wondered in his heart whether the Empress Dowager wanted to win him over.
But the empress dowager came to her home in the middle of the night.
How bad it is to spread the word.
It doesn't matter to me, but doesn't the royal family want to meet?
Of course, at Ji Wulian's age, he could be the empress dowager's grandfather.
"It's a great honor for the empress dowager to come to the humble house."
"My love is free."
"Please come inside, Empress Dowager."
Entering the front hall, Director Wei beside the Empress Dowager brewed a pot of tea.
Ji Wulian followed the empress dowager and sat on the second seat next to the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager spoke again: "Can Ai Qing tell the old man what happened to His Majesty in distress this time?"
"Speaking of this time, it's still because of Manager Xiao."
Ji Wulian pretended to be emotional for a while.
Superficial remorse was written all over his face.
"Xiao Banban and His Majesty are loyal, I really don't believe that Xiao Banban will betray His Majesty."
"The empress dowager has lost her mind. It's not that Director Xiao betrayed His Majesty. Does the empress dowager know that the last time I followed Director Xiao in a lowly position, I went to Baitai Island to discuss an alliance with the Heishin people?"
The empress dowager nodded, she really knew about it.
"Director Xiao is the mastermind of this negotiation, but he was taken away by the Black Scale people with the technique of linking souls."
"The art of uniting souls?" The empress dowager was a little confused.
At this time, Director Wei beside him whispered a few words in the empress dowager's ear.
Only then did the empress dowager understand.
"The last time Director Xiao came back alone, he brought back a giant beast, which was said to be given to my son first." The empress dowager made up a lot of things in her own mind.
"Bizhi and Tie Yihou were on Baitai Island at the time, and they found that the Heishin people were going to harm us, so they broke through the siege and hid on the island." Ji Wulian said generously: "Then hid for more than half a month. In a short time, I saw a huge beast passing by the sky, and it turned out to be Director Xiao and His Majesty."
The empress dowager's face gradually turned serious.
Most of what happened in the palace was known to her.
I also know that a few days ago, Da Xiaozi and Director Xiao left the imperial city in that giant beast called Fei Peng.
"Afterwards, Tie Yihou and I found an opportunity to rescue His Majesty, but we encountered multiple attacks from the Black Scales on the way. He was rescued, but His Majesty was traumatized."
"Then why did the black-scale alien race catch the emperor?"
"Naturally, it is the art of linking souls. They want to control His Majesty."
The empress dowager felt a chill, if the emperor was controlled, how sad would the Tianyuan Dynasty be.
As for Ji Wulian's words, she already believed them seven or eight percent.
"My old body is in this world, thank you, Aiqing."
"Don't say that, Empress Dowager, this is what a lowly position should do, and the lowly position failed to save His Majesty from harm, it really deserves death." Ji Wulian spoke with sincerity, as if sincerely remorse.
"How can this matter be blamed on Ai Qing? His Majesty is hurting now. In the final analysis, it is his own fault. If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, how could he be in the current situation."
The empress dowager really had the idea of hating iron but not steel.
But, now things have happened.
She, a woman of the generation, had to wipe the ass of her husband and son.
"Aiqing, the emperor is in trouble now. Although Aiqing rescued him, his current state is really not suitable for sitting in that position. Among the royal family, who do you think can take on this important task?"
Ji Wulian didn't understand that he was not a court minister.
Shouldn't this kind of broken matter be discussed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?
Ask yourself what to do?
He is an incompetent bodyguard, spy, thug, and personal adviser.
"Empress Dowager, humble people speak lightly and don't dare to speak nonsense."
"Now I can't trust anyone else, only Aiqing."
Ji Wulian was a little embarrassed.
"Aiqing, just speak the truth. I believe in my own vision. Nowadays, all the civil and military officials in the court are wise and safe, and they don't think about Tianyuan's country at all. Only Aiqing, who is not afraid of hardships and dangers, is loyal and courageous."
Ji Wulian was even more speechless, believing that she was the number one spy.
Madam, your vision is indeed unique.
"The Empress Dowager is ridiculous." Ji Wulian looked at the Empress Dowager helplessly: "The Empress Dowager, if the current Majesty wants to abdicate, it is natural for His Majesty's heir to ascend the throne."
Anyway, this son inherited his father's career, especially the throne, so there is nothing to say about it.
And now the filial son is not without heirs.
"It should be so, but those princes are too young."
The eldest son is only in his early twenties, and his eldest son is only four years old.
The empress dowager was afraid that the young emperor's accession to the throne would cause chaos in the court.
"The new emperor ascends the throne, and he will be protected by the empress dowager." Ji Wulian said: "The empress dowager is well-versed in books and government affairs, so she can naturally protect the new emperor from worries. Moreover, the empress dowager, your mother, is as majestic as the lord. I think the courtiers will not." , and dare not object."
To put it bluntly, it is to let the empress dowager listen to politics behind the curtain.
Now the dutiful son has been given cerebral palsy by them.
Ji Wulian also didn't want to bully the orphan and widow.
The legal wife of the dutiful son, the current empress is only a twenty-year-old girl.
It has been less than a year since he became the harem master.
Naturally, there is not enough prestige.
That's why the empress dowager had to go out to find a way out for her descendants.
Ji Wulian just couldn't figure out what she was looking for.
He has no soldiers and no rights. Although he has made some credit for bringing the filial son back this time, he is still not a courtier, and he doesn't even have a rank.
"Does Aiqing want to be the national teacher?" The Empress Dowager asked tentatively.
Ji Wulian almost couldn't catch his breath, and looked at the empress dowager in astonishment.
Own? National Division? What a joke.
"The empress dowager is just joking. I'm just a warrior with a humble job, and I can't bear such a heavy responsibility."
"You don't need to underestimate yourself, the Qing family is loyal and courageous, and they have made such great achievements, and they also have unrivaled miraculous skills. It is more than enough to be a national teacher."
The empress dowager's idea is actually very simple, that is, to attract enough people and set up a few more facades.
Although Ji Wulian's foundation in the imperial court is a little shallow.
But after the battle of Baitai Island, the eldest dutiful son was rescued.
I was willing to save face and begged a few courtiers, and I should still be able to push Ji Wulian to the position of national teacher.
In this way, he has enough authority to assist the new emperor.
"The Empress Dowager..."
"Mr. Ji, why bother to decline, or are you unwilling to do the same for the Queen Mother?" Director Wei said with a sly voice.
