What does "the prince is easier to replace than the emperor"!
What this means is that if the emperor does not change the prince now, Yan Qingzheng may ask Feng Rong to change the emperor in the future!
The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over, but his hands and feet were cold, because he knew that the woman in front of him could really do it and do it!
He was a little discouraged. Even though he was the Fengrong Emperor, he still had to be controlled by others when it came to his successor...
"Of course, if you decide not to change the crown prince, then we have nothing to do with it. But from now on, we are only responsible for the survival of Feng Rong, and we will not care whether the royal family's succession is orthodox or not!" Yan Qing looked at him with a confused expression.
Knowing what he was thinking, I felt disdainful and once again felt that he was not as good as the late emperor.
She stood up and left, saying before leaving: "You have three days to think about it. After three days, just tell my father the result."
After leaving the palace, she walked through the streets and alleys and arrived in front of No. 1 Chongwen Street.
This place used to be bustling with people, but now it looks a bit depressed no matter how you look at it.
Now Yan Xi is the only one in the Yan family who has entered the court as an official, and everyone in the world knows that he will soon resign and go to practice immortality, so people who are in the officialdom will not focus on the Yan family. Because he has lost his
Yan Xi's Yan family no longer has any value, and there is no point in making friends with them.
Most of the next generation of the Yan family are military generals, and they are not in the capital. In the eyes of everyone, the Yan family has declined, especially in the eyes of civil servants, Yan Xi, who is about to resign, is so disappointing!
Recalling some of the late emperor's decisions and arrangements, Yan Qingzheng suddenly felt very funny.
I didn't think he was a good emperor in the past thirty years, but in the past few years since his death, I feel more and more that he is still very good!
Is there really no harm without comparison?
Only now did I suddenly understand my father's feelings in taking the late emperor as his confidant.
Yan Qing was returning home, which shocked Yan's family. She met all the elders one by one, and she finally got some time to talk to her parents alone.
Regarding Yan Qing's decision to ask the emperor to replace him with a prince, Yan Xi showed a rare smile and his eyes were filled with relief.
As for Yan Xi not suggesting changing the crown prince in the past few years, Yan Qingzheng raised questions, or why he didn't object when the crown prince was established in the first place.
Regarding this, Yan Xi just smiled indifferently: "If he is not allowed to see the virtues of the current prince, he will not trust his father's judgment."
Yan Qing nodded clearly and said, "Does your daughter have any plans to disrupt her father's plan during this trip?"
"As a father, I think the time is just right!" Yan Xi was confident.
Yan Qing was breathing a sigh of relief, turned around and hugged Nalan Lianyue's arm and said, "Mom, please go to my place to rest today. Let's have a good talk."
Nalan Lianyue nodded and said: "Okay, mother misses my precious daughter too!"
Yan Xi curled his lips, feeling deeply left out.
The family here is experiencing warmth, but the palace over there is filled with gloom and gloom.
The prince returned to the East Palace, closed the door, and smashed many objects. After spreading the fire for a long time, he had people pick up the debris and beat a palace maid to death, saying that she had broken all the things by mistake.
The emperor heard about this in the imperial study, sighed deeply, got up and went to the queen mother.
Now that the Queen Mother is pampered, this is the first time the Emperor has taken a serious look at this palace.
Only then did I realize that the use of many of the furnishings inside and the flowers and plants outside had already exceeded what the Queen Mother should have in the palace.
None of these things were provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is to say, they were given by others.
And a queen mother who is not involved in the court is not worthy of such expensive gifts from those people.
Therefore, he thought that his mother, who had been stoic over the years, had actually never been content with the status quo and kept her duty.
The Queen Mother had just gotten up from her nap, and while the Emperor was sizing him up, the Queen Mother, who was sitting in front of the mirror dressing up, was actually also sizing him up.
Some time ago, the Queen Mother was angry with the Prince. In fact, it was 30% true and 70% false. She wanted to see if the Emperor would still respect and value her as the Queen Mother as always when the Prince came of age. As a result, she was very satisfied with the Prince's reaction.
Well...she doesn't think it's that important anymore.
When the emperor was the prince, he was even more disrespectful to her. Hasn't that changed now?
It can be seen that after being young and frivolous, you will definitely become more sensible.
"Why did the Emperor think of visiting the Ai family today?" The Queen Mother had enough observation, so she stood up and waved to the palace maid who was about to comb her hair again: "Okay, Zuo is just my son coming to see me, as long as he can see people.
, don’t keep the emperor waiting too long.”
The maid hurriedly knelt down to apologize. The Queen Mother graciously let her get up, and walked over to sit with the Emperor with a smile.
The emperor laughed dryly: "I am busy with government affairs, but my son is lazy."
"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, and you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, just say it." The Queen Mother understood that her son was filial, and she gradually became more forceful in her speech over the years.
The emperor looked at the queen mother in front of him and was filled with emotion. When his father was alive, his mother was so cautious, but now she is so...
It turned out that I was really too weak, which made my mother have wild ambitions!
No, maybe when my father was alive, my mother could only have empty ambitions but didn't dare to show them at all. She suppressed them for decades, but was released by her cowardly and incompetent self!
Thinking about it this way, it was exactly as Yan Qingzheng said, I was really ashamed of the late emperor!
"Mother, the imperial doctor came to tell me a few days ago that my mother's body... needs to rest!" The queen lowered her eyes and said expressionlessly.
The Queen Mother didn't understand for a moment and was confused: "The Ai family didn't think anything was wrong...which imperial doctor said that? What happened to the Ai family?"
"The imperial doctor said that my mother is overly worried."
"Who said that?" the Queen Mother asked.
"Don't panic, Queen Mother, you only need to rest and enjoy your old age!" The emperor raised his eyelids and looked directly at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother slowly understood what the Emperor meant, and her face immediately sank. However, when she saw that the Emperor did not shrink back like before, her sneer surfaced again.
"Your Majesty is going to... put the Ai family under house arrest!" the Queen Mother turned away, dusted her clothes, and said casually.
She is not alone now. She has her mother's family, followers, and a prince behind her. The emperor is now talking about her as if she is under house arrest...it's really ridiculous.
"Mother, am I your son?" The Emperor saw the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction and resistance, and his eyes were filled with pain.
"Then the emperor is still the son of the Ai family?" The Queen Mother asked back without looking back.
The emperor gave up and stood up and said, "I still hope that my mother will start well and end well."
He left without looking back. After leaving the Queen Mother's Palace, he immediately ordered Hong Wen: "Pass on my decree, the Queen Mother's Palace will be closed from now on. All materials and supplies must be handed over under the supervision of the Royal Forest Army, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"According to the decree!" Hongwen hasn't found the right time to retire and return home, so he still has to convey this decree that will cause an uproar!
"Declaration that the Lord is entering the palace!"
"yes."
Yan Xi had already made preparations at home, and when the decree arrived, he strode out.
He returned home late at night and said to Yan Qingzheng: "Everything is ready."
"Father must guard against the prince jumping over the wall in a hurry. Your Majesty, Queen, and the Second Prince, please ask the worshipers to protect you."
Yan Xi said: "The emperor and the second prince have already made arrangements, but... there are no women in the offerings now..."
He looked at Nalan Lianyue.
Nalan Lianyue immediately said: "The queen and I can talk well, I will go to the palace in the next few days."
Yan Xi nodded. He and his wife were in the same mind, so there was no need to bother saying thank you.
Yan Qing said directly: "I will take care of the family."
Yan Xi nodded, then turned and went to the study room. The emperor asked him to write an article to impeach the prince.
Nalan Lianyue's seniority is too high, and her cultivation level is also high, so after entering the palace, she is not only responsible for protecting the queen and the master of Longyi Palace, but also monitors the Queen Mother's Palace, which is not far away anyway.
Early the next morning, the Queen Mother found that outsiders could not enter and the news could not be delivered, so she naturally fell ill.
An imperial doctor screamed at the Royal Guards with a pale face, shouting that they were wasting their time caring about the Queen Mother's life...
Nalan Lianyue thought he was noisy, so she left a barrier between the Queen and the Lord of Longyi Palace, then got up and went to the Queen Mother's Palace.
She checked the Queen Mother's pulse and found that the Queen Mother was fine and could no longer pretend to be sick.
When the plan failed, the Queen Mother devised another plan. She always knew that Nalan Lianyue was soft-hearted, so she began to torture the maids and eunuchs around her.
Nalan Lianyue really couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that she was too noisy, he gave her an injection, leaving her speechless and weak.
Now she couldn't scold or hit her, so tears and snot flowed down her nose, and she started a hunger strike.
This time Nalan Lianyue watched as the old woman tortured herself, and she was happy to watch the show.
The Queen was very worried, fearing that treating the Queen Mother like this would be criticized by the world, but Nalan Lianyue reassured her: "The Emperor has finally made up his mind to do this, and the Queen must fully support it. At this time, you must not be reckless.
He’s cold water!”
The queen reluctantly agreed, turned around and started joking with Princess Longyi.
What Nalan Lianyue didn't say was that the emperor didn't really listen to the queen in serious matters, but he would listen to the queen's persuasion when it came to matters where he had some hesitation in his heart.
In fact, it's because he actually wants to do this in his heart.
The queen looked at Princess Longyi quietly, but her thoughts had already drifted to unknown corners.
Looking at the current Queen Mother, she was suddenly a little scared. Could it be that after her son succeeded to the throne in the future, she would become so crazy and obsessed with power?
Nalan Lianyue seemed to hear her inner fear, patted her hand a little too much, and said softly: "The same rice can feed hundreds of people, and people are different."
The queen was suddenly very moved. This extremely intelligent woman trusted her so much and understood her better than her husband who had lived together for many years!
On the third day that Yan Qingzheng was talking about, in the morning, Yan Xi formally handed over the documents for impeachment of the crown prince. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the golden palace suddenly became chaotic!
The courtiers thought that the emperor was attacking the queen mother because they were dissatisfied with the queen mother's interference in the previous court. Who knew that he actually wanted to replace the prince!
The prince and the queen mother's faction immediately jumped out to oppose, and some civil servants even kept saying that the emperor was deceived, and if Yan Xi, who caused trouble to the court, was not severely punished, they would hit the pillars of the Golden Palace!
"Get out of the way! Let him hit you!"
The emperor roared angrily, causing the entire Golden Palace to fall silent!
