Chapter 263 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 52

"I wonder what the Queen and the Imperial Concubine think of this method?" A group of veterans asked the Queen and Yu Tong for their opinions after giving the results of the discussion.

At this time, as the heroes of today, the Queen and Yu Tong, how dare they skip.

The queen and Tao Ran looked at each other.

"I have no objection."

"Me too."

Tao Ran knew that to those old ministers, dragging the emperor down would be considered treacherous, not to mention that they had been entrusted by the late emperor, so they would never let the emperor die.

However, is life necessarily better?

not necessarily!

The emperor even gave up his self-esteem for the sake of the throne, which shows how obsessed he is with power. The days to come will be difficult.

Of course, they won't let him really have nothing, at least he will have a lover.

They will not kill Ye Ruqiu because she is pregnant. Therefore, they will definitely become adults and let him be accompanied by true love for the rest of his life.

True love, haha, how wonderful!

Since it is true love, we can share power and wealth, and naturally we can also share hardships.

I just don’t know if true love can really last forever?

…

However, before Prince Heng finished speaking, Ye Ruqiu hugged the emperor: "What abdication? What retreat? How could the emperor abdicate? The emperor will not retreat! You rebelled, you are treasonous..."

And the emperor pushed her away again.

"I will not abdicate! I can kill the demon concubine, and I can agree to anything! Give me a chance. Queen, uncle, I will kill Ye Ruqiu, okay?"

The emperor understood the horror of that rhetoric.

say what? That he took Ye Ruqiu to live in seclusion and the boat capsized?

Doesn't that mean he is dead?

From then on, he is a dead person. Regardless of whether he is alive or not, his identity is gone!

He is gone!

Even if he survives, he has no identity.

He is not an emperor, not even a member of the royal family, he is nobody!

What's the difference between that and the living dead!

The emperor regretted it.

But it was too late.

The emperor and Ye Ruqiu were both gagged and taken directly to the side hall...

Subsequently, the selection of the new emperor became the top priority that needed to be discussed.

There are not many suitable candidates.

The emperor had no heirs and could only choose from his brothers.

The late emperor did have two young princes...

However, all the adults thought about it for a long time, but no one said that.

It will take more than ten years for the two young princes to reach adulthood, which is too long. And after this time, the veterans were almost exhausted mentally and physically, and they wanted to quit. How about holding on for another ten years? No one dares to think about it.

And in the past ten years, what if, like the current emperor, the new emperor also became dissatisfied because he had no power? When a young emperor takes power, there must be many possible consequences.

"I think Prince Ning can be considered." They didn't dare to mention it rashly, so Tao Ran spoke up.

She and Prince Ning have reached an agreement, she will help him take the last step, and he will ensure that she and her family are safe in the future.

The veterans took a deep breath, but did not refuse, because Prince Ning was indeed among their candidates.

"Prince Ning was bold and careful this time. He was the first to discover that the emperor was frequently mobilizing his own soldiers. Three days ago, he secretly told my father about this matter and asked my father in the imperial army to pay more attention to the emperor secretly, so that I could move faster. I discovered the Emperor's plan and contacted the Queen." Tao Ran had already prepared a story for Prince Ning.

"Thanks to Prince Ning for saving the day today. Therefore, Prince Ning's contribution this time is not small. If I am the first in credit, Prince Ning will be the second. What do you think?"

Tao Ran almost made it clear directly: Prince Ning, like her, was also the savior of everyone present.

"I also think Prince Ning is good." The Queen agreed. She and Tao Ran had reached a consensus two days ago.

Prince Ning's action today was crucial, and he helped her get revenge, so she gave him this favor. Of course she had already considered it. Prince Ning's foundation in Beijing was shallow and he just needed a backer like the Chen family. They can help each other...

The old ministers informed King Ning and went to the inner hall to talk.

An hour later, Prince Ning asked all the veterans and Prince Heng to nod.

Regardless of today's achievements, King Ning is knowledgeable and courageous, understands the sufferings of the people, knows how to consider the people, has his own opinions, and his style is not extreme. Unlike the current emperor, he is pragmatic, practical, thoughtful, decisive in action, and can stand alone.

In terms of style, it is even simpler.

There was only one princess and one concubine, and she gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The wives and concubines live in peace, and the children grow up safely. In the royal family, the person who can make the wives, concubines, and heirs in the backyard live in harmony must not be mediocre and incompetent!

Besides him, who else in the royal family is more suitable at this moment?

The candidate was decided just like that.

After solving this problem, Tao Ran took the initiative to knock on the door of the inner hall.

"If you want to judge merit and reward, should I be at the front?" she asked shamelessly.

Everyone was stunned.

"If the imperial concubine has any requests, just ask for them."

"I don't want to be a concubine."

Everyone: "..."

"I want to be the queen mother, but I only want fame and not get involved in politics."

After a while, everyone looked at Prince Ning. After all, he is the new emperor and it is not their turn to decide.

Prince Ning: "I think there is nothing wrong with this!" That night, when he talked with Yu Tong Yuexia, Yu Tong spoke frankly to him. Said she wanted to be the queen, but not the queen. He understood it then.

Everyone looked at the queen again. If someone wants to take the position of Queen Mother, the original owner must be willing.

Queen: "It's so long in the palace that it's really interesting to have my sister by my side. I don't have any objections either. It's not like there were two queen mothers once." She doesn't mind, so others don't need to say anything, right?

Others really couldn't say anything.

They all owed their lives to Yu Tong, and now they only wanted a higher position. The new emperor and the new queen mother didn't mind, so what were they insisting on?

In this way, the matter was settled particularly smoothly...

Three days after the emperor's "funeral" ceremony, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Tao Ran and the empress became the queen mother together.

Her explanation for this promotion is: The emperor admires General Yu and hopes to see more heroes like the Yu family who protect their homeland and the country. He also hopes that more people of insight can serve the motherland, regardless of whether they are civil servants or military officers. They will all be treated fairly and equally. I hope they can all shine in their respective positions, so that their country will be peaceful and the people will be safe...

It was a big statement, and the Yu family had indeed been heroes for generations. None of the senior officials or the royal family had any objections, so naturally no one else raised any questions.

Just like that, Tao Ran moved into Shoukang Palace.

That day, the new emperor came to talk to her for a quarter of an hour.

The emperor was respectful, grateful, polite, and had a sense of propriety. He even said that he would come to pay his respects every other day in the future.

"I... the Ai family are straightforward people. If you can avoid the etiquette, just come over. Your Majesty, just come back when you have time." It's too troublesome.

The new emperor smiled: "Then I will come here every five days."

"Seven days."

"yes."

…

In the following days, Tao Ran truly lived a life of salted fish.

Eating, sleeping, practicing, and drinking tea and raising flowers with another queen mother sister and chatting.

So far, only a little more than half a year has passed since Tao Ran's deadline. She still has plenty of time.

But she knew that it was almost time for her to leave.
