Chapter 864 New Mother and Son

The courtiers speculated one after another.

Is it the little emperor who has been hiding his clumsiness, or is there someone giving him advice behind his back?

Everyone focused their attention on the regent Gu Changyuan and the cabinet scholar Lu Qinghan.

But soon, everyone gave up this idea.

Unless they are stupid, they will let the emperor promote another big boss to compete with them.

In fact, the re-appointment and promotion of Tang Qing was indeed not the suggestion of Gu Changyuan and Lu Qinghan.

There was someone else who gave the emperor advice.

After going to court, the young Emperor Kaiyuan changed into his regular clothes and came to Ci'an Palace.

"My son, I send my regards to my mother."

"The emperor is here, sit down." The Queen Mother Hua was sitting on a soft couch, with a thick velvet blanket covering her knees, scissors in her hand, and was building plum blossoms and preparing to insert vases.

The warm palace is filled with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

Gu Qizhen was not in the mood to appreciate this tranquility and elegance. He said with a smile: "Don't you know, Queen Mother? After today's imperial edict, all the ministers were stunned. Except for the regent and Master Lu, who could still hold their own, the expressions of the others...

It really made me laugh to death!”

Empress Dowager Hua said calmly: "Tang Qing was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. It was only his outstanding military exploits that prevented people from noticing his talent in governing the country."

"Yes, I also know what this cheap third cousin is capable of."

"From now on, the imperial court will work hard to ensure stability." Queen Mother Hua said.

Gu Qizhen hesitated and said nothing.

Queen Mother Hua glanced at him: "Is the emperor thinking that Ai Jia is the regent's biological mother, but why should you promote Tang Qing to compete with the regent?"

Gu Qizhen chuckled: "I really don't understand. I hope my mother can give me some advice."

"You don't have to worry too much. Of course the Ai family has some selfish motives for doing this."

"oh?"

"The emperor reads history books with Master Lu on weekdays. Do you know how many people in the past dynasties who were more powerful than the emperor and regent of the court ended up with good endings?"

Gu Qizhen was stunned.

He didn't like reading, but under Lu Qinghan's strict teaching, he still read some.

From ancient times to the present, no emperor can tolerate a minister having more power than himself.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?

No matter how much affection there was in the past, the young emperor grew up and developed a rebellious mentality. He would definitely try his best to get back his power and kill the shadow that stood in front of him.

Gu Qizhen felt a little cold on his back and said quietly: "Mother, you don't trust me."

"It's not that the Ai family doesn't believe in the emperor, it's that they don't believe in human nature." Empress Dowager Hua said frankly, "Emperor, can you guarantee that your sixteen-year-old mind and thoughts will be exactly the same as your twelve-year-old self now?"

Gu Qizhen shook his head: "Definitely not."

"With different positions, your thoughts will change accordingly. When you are just a prince, all you think about is how to have fun and have fun, and be a stable and wealthy prince in the future. When you become a prince, what you think about is what you will do after you ascend the throne.

Do it. Now that you have become the emperor, it will be a different story. Even for King Xuan, there is no guarantee that there will be any changes after he becomes the regent. After all, King Xuan is my own son, and I don’t want him to leave in the future.

On the road to eternal disaster, it would be better to disperse the power in his hands from the beginning, so that it will be easier for you, Emperor, to take back your power in the future."

"The Queen Mother is thoughtful." Gu Qizhen praised, "If Sister Yingning did this, I wouldn't be surprised at all. After all, Sister Yingning is a very smart person. But the Queen Mother can think of these things, which is really unexpected.

I was surprised."
