Chapter 962 Queen Mother 2

Now he is the foregone conclusion emperor, but he is still in his infancy. Therefore, after discussion by the ministers in the court, he proposed that the empress dowager rule behind the curtain and return it to the emperor until the young emperor grows up.

Logically speaking, it is not the original owner who can rule the country from behind the curtain, because she is too young. But she is the best person to control, because she is small enough that the government can only control the government in the end.

If the old ministers changed to a young and powerful regent, the consequences would be dispelled by the old ministers. Of course, this is also related to Zhao Xian himself having no brothers.

He was in charge of the affairs behind the curtain, and a deep thought flashed through Jiang Chan's eyes. These old ministers really made a good plan and pushed her, the young empress dowager, as a target.

In fact, each has his own little plan, so if something happens, the empress dowager will take the blame, and it has nothing to do with them. The empress dowager is not so much a decorative position as a decoration. She can't even interfere in the government affairs, and they are all firmly controlled by these ministers.

This was the life of the original owner in his previous life, which lasted until the little emperor ascended the throne, but the little emperor did not change much. These ministers controlled the court and enjoyed this sense of victory in holding power, how could they be willing to give up power?

Today she was asked to sit in this position. The ministers did not do whatever they wanted, but it also depends on whether she agreed. A faint light flashed in Jiang Chan's eyes, and her eyes glanced at the ministers who were jumping around the most, and then she silently played with the Buddhist beads in her hand.

After the national mourning, Jiang Chan often played with the string of rosary in her hands. Although she was calm and self-sustaining, she also always told herself that you have reached such a position and you must be very cautious in every decision you make.

Perhaps an inadvertent decision may involve other people's lives, so you must be more calm and considerate.

Now, Jiang Chan is sitting upright behind the bead curtain, her eyes sweeping over the old ministers in the head one by one. Now she is in the court, except for the original owner's mother's house, Duke Anguo Mansion, who is almost helpless.

She had to think carefully about who could use it for her.

Fortunately, a few days ago, she picked out the token of the emperor's Qinglong Guard from Eunuch Xu. After the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty, the Qinglong Guard existed and was directly responsible to the emperor.

Its function is similar to that of the Jinyiwei. It can be said that nothing can be hidden from the Qinglong Guard's eyes. Jiang Chan has also been integrating the news about the Qinglong Guard recently, and she probably has a glimpse of the situation in the future.

The original owner's mother's house, Duke Anguo Mansion, can be close to you but cannot be entrusted with all his heart. If you use it well, Duke Anguo Mansion will be a great help, but if Duke Anguo Mansion is the dominant one, the consequences of the previous life will be repeated again.

In the previous life, the Anguo Duke's Mansion almost shocked the government and the public because of the whole trust of the young empress dowager. However, the result was quite miserable. The Anguo Duke's Mansion family was finally killed by nine clans, and the young empress dowager was imprisoned in the deep palace all his life.

Although there is the fault of the Duke Anguo Mansion itself, the bigger fault is that the original owner does not know how to keep a distance from his parents' home. When she reaches her position, where can everything follow her thoughts?

What's more, with her favor, as long as she is related to Duke Anguo's Mansion, who is not arrogant outside? No wonder it will arouse public anger in the end.

Thinking about this in mind, Jiang Chan slowly picked up the beads and bracelets and listened to the ministers below to report.

The situation in the court was really bad at this time. The Dayu Dynasty had only been established for fifty years. The two emperors of the late emperor and Zhao Xian worked diligently, but they could not make the people full. The lives of the people were really not good.

In addition, when he learned that the emperor had passed away, the small neighboring countries were also eyeing him. For example, in Xiliang, in the Lingnan region, there were also forces taking the opportunity to gain troops and seeking to split.

In this way, the Dayu Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles. Jiang Chan frowned and wondered what to do next. As far as she knew, in half a year, there will be locust plagues in China. Where the locust plagues pass, there will be no grass growing.

The consequences it brings are also particularly serious. Not only are the people living in poverty, but they are sent out to the expeditionary army, which is also severely damaged. Without food and cannot eat enough, how can you fight?

Thinking of this, looking at the old ministers jumping down the most joyously, a glimmer of light flashed through Jiang Chan's eyes. Now, when she was invading Xiliang, the court had a fierce discussion on whether to fight or to be the master.

The war-holding faction is naturally all military generals. Duke An Guo was born as a military general. At this moment, his face was full of anger: "Our Dayu Dynasty itself is the world on the back of a horse, and he has never let the princesses kiss each other. Wouldn't the marriage be ridiculed by the people of Xiliang?"

Zhou Si of the Ministry of Revenue stepped forward, and the hat wings on his hat trembled: "Duke An Guo's words are wrong. Now the national treasury is empty. If he fights Xiliang, if there is another turmoil in Lingnan, the national treasury will not be able to allocate so much silver."

The left prime minister Han Xiang also spoke: "It is true. What we need to do most now is to calm down Xiliang first. We must first calm the country when fighting foreign countries. Only internal peace can we be free to deal with external affairs, old ministers and rulers."

Hearing that these people had been arguing for two hours just to fight and reconcile, Jiang Chan frowned. They all had their own reasons, but she still favored the Duke Anguo Mansion to fight.

She is used to being forced, and she does not reject marriage, but let’s forget about marriage, especially in this case, it is equivalent to threatening. She is not a person who is soft and hard, so she will do this with her?

Seeing that he could not reach a conclusion, Han Xiang stepped forward: "Please decide the Empress Dowager!"

All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground: "Please decide the Empress Dowager!"

Jiang Chan thought for a while: "The Ai family means to fight."

Han Xiang was anxious: "Miss, think twice!"

The ministers behind him looked like a repeater: "My lady thinks twice!"

Jiang Chan was happy: "Mr. Han, you have been arguing with Duke An Guo for a long time, but you didn't get a result. You kicked the ball in front of Ai's family. Ai's family just expressed their own ideas."

Han Xiang trembledly: "The old minister dares not."

Jiang Chan's voice was very calm: "Get up first, my dear friends."

"Duke Anguo, this time the attack on Xiliang is to make you the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, Ye Yunqi is the vanguard, leading 100,000 troops. The turmoil in Lingnan cannot be ignored," Jiang Chan pulled the rosary and glanced at a Jinshi from Lingnan: "Hang Qi."

"I am here." A minister in his forties with a national font face came out and knelt down in the middle.
