Before he could think of a solution to the dilemma, when he returned to his palace at night, Emperor Zhaoming found that he was under house arrest.
He stepped into the bedroom, and there was a burst of messy footsteps behind him.
Emperor Zhaoming turned around and walked to the door. Looking at the sudden increase of nearly a hundred guards with swords outside the palace, he felt an ominous premonition and asked coldly: "Who sent you? What are you doing?"
A young man from the Royal Forest Army came out and knelt down on one knee: "Commander Ming said that there was no peace in the palace and asked the emperor to stay in the palace and rest peacefully. The humble ministers and others will protect the emperor at all times and never let anyone get close to the emperor.
"
Emperor Zhaoming was furious: "Let Ming Chongjin come over, I want to see him!"
"Commander Ming is adjusting the defense in the palace."
Emperor Zhaoming stepped out of the threshold, and the imperial guards stepped forward one after another: "The palace is in danger, please stop."
At that moment, Emperor Zhaoming's blood froze all over his body.
He is under house arrest.
He, the majestic king of a country, was placed under house arrest in his palace by the Imperial Guards, whom he had always thought were loyal.
"How dare you!" Suddenly a sharp shout rang out, "How dare you be rude to the emperor, do you still want to think about it?"
The Imperial Guards all took a step back and all knelt down: "See the Queen Mother!"
Emperor Zhaoming looked up and saw the empress dowager in a phoenix robe sitting on a phoenix chariot, slowly approaching surrounded by palace people. Her head was covered with pearls and emeralds, and she was extremely luxurious. Her aura of nobility was hard to ignore.
Emperor Zhaoming's eyes were cold and cold, and he no longer even used the most basic disguise, and asked straight to the point: "Has the Queen Mother taken control of my Imperial Guard Army?"
The Queen Mother didn't say anything. She got down from the chariot and walked forward step by step, holding the hand of the nanny. When she got to the court, she climbed the steps and stepped into the threshold: "Aijia, come here and talk to the emperor."
Emperor Zhaoming was silent for a moment, with a sinister look in his eyes: "What does the Queen want to talk to me about?"
"Of course we are talking about the issue of establishing the crown prince." The queen mother walked to the screen and sat down on the brocade couch with a graceful and elegant posture. "Yun Chen has gone crazy. Has the emperor decided who should be the crown prince?"
Emperor Zhaoming turned around and remained indifferent without saying a word.
"Actually, the Ai family can initiate a palace coup." The Queen Mother smiled faintly, her smile showing certainty, "But the palace coup means countless casualties, so the Ai family wants the emperor to willingly appoint Zi Shu as the crown prince. A hundred years later, Zi Shu
Ascend to the throne as emperor and become the first empress in the history of Yong Dynasty."
"Absolutely impossible!" Emperor Zhaoming flatly refused, and every word was full of determination, "There has never been a female empress in Dayong! Yun Zishu is already the Queen of Dongyou. If she becomes the empress, wouldn't she hand over the Great Yongjiang Mountain?
Give up to Dongyou? There is no way I can agree to this!"
The Queen Mother sighed softly: "Let me tell you the truth, the emperor. Even if Zi Shu does not sit on the throne, it will be someone from the Feng family. For example, Feng Ci, there is no way that it will fall to King Jing or King Qi."
Emperor Zhaoming said in a gloomy tone: "The Queen Mother is not worried about the civil and military protests of the Manchu Dynasty?"
"Whoever dares to protest will be killed by the Ai family." When the Queen Mother said this, her eyebrows slowly became filled with a murderous look, "Since we want to overthrow this dynasty that has confused the bloodline, we can only destroy it without establishing it, but destroy it and then establish it!"
Emperor Zhaoming was shocked, he did not expect the Queen Mother to be so decisive.
He was breathing rapidly and his face was pale: "The confusion of the bloodline is also caused by the Queen Mother. What does it have to do with me? It was the Queen Mother's own idea to change the civet cat for the prince, wasn't it? If I hadn't entered the palace, I would be sitting on the dragon throne today.
It’s not yet clear who the emperor will be, so you can’t be the Queen Mother, and you can’t enjoy the glory of being the Queen Mother! Now you get an advantage and have enjoyed the honor of the Queen Mother for decades, but you come to accuse me of impure blood! Who is my bloodline impure?
What caused the harm? Isn’t it you, Queen Mother? Why do you do whatever you want? You have the final say on what is right and what is wrong? Why?!”
In his extreme out-of-control anger, he could no longer take into account the consequences of saying these words, and what kind of reaction the imperial guards outside would have if they heard this.
He only knew that the culprit of today's situation was the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was the initiator of Yun Zishu's rampant ambition!
The Queen Mother leaned on the couch calmly. Compared with Emperor Zhaoming's hysteria, her reaction was too calm.
Listening to him venting his dissatisfaction and revealing all the secrets that should not be tolerated in the world, his face remained calm and even a little cold and sarcastic.
"The cause of the incident is indeed the Ai family's fault." The Queen Mother admitted her fault very frankly, "The Ai family is sorry for the ancestors of the Yun family. A hundred years later, the Ai family will go to apologize to them, but the Ai family has no regrets."
Emperor Zhaoming looked at her coldly.
"If we had it to do over again, the Ai family would probably make the same choice. Women in the palace rely on machinations to stabilize their status. Only when they gain power can they live the life they want." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at her fingers.
"The Ai family wanted power and family affection, so they brought their daughter into the palace and made her your queen. Emperor, the Ai family believes that they have never treated you badly. If you had not treated you like that
If you are ruthless and ruthless, if you don't do things so cruelly and if you don't kill the daughter of the Ai family and her eldest son, the Ai family will keep it secret for the rest of their lives and will not be stupid enough to tell the secret of your bloodline."
Emperor Zhaoming responded with indifference.
"It's a pity that you are too selfish and narrow-minded." The Queen Mother's voice was a little more tired. "Your suspicion and self-will have harmed you. Sure enough, you are not a real Dragon Body Feng Sun, and you can't stand on the stage."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Emperor Zhaoming seemed to be suddenly irritated when he heard these words, "What are dragons and phoenixes? They have been the winners and losers since ancient times! Which dynasty's founding king was born a dragon?
Sons and phoenixes? Because he conquered the world, his descendants are called dragons and phoenixes. I am the emperor, and my son is the dragon. Who dares to say that their blood is impure?"
The Queen Mother looked at him with pity: "Has the Emperor ever looked at himself?"
Emperor Zhaoming froze.
"Zishu must be the crown prince, this is not up to you."
Emperor Zhaoming made a very general statement: "I will not appoint Yun Zishu as my concubine, it is absolutely impossible."
"Then the emperor will wait to collect the corpses of your sons." The Queen Mother stood up and straightened the wide sleeves of her phoenix robe, "The Ai family was able to replace their biological daughters back then. You should know that I am a Weida.
The purpose is unscrupulous. I will give you three days to think about it. If you don't agree after three days, the Ai family will send Yun Chen's body first and let him fulfill his filial piety to his father."
Emperor Zhaoming's eyes narrowed.
"In three days, we will be King Qi." The Queen Mother looked at him condescendingly, "Your son has no blood relationship with the Ai family. Even if they are all dead, the Ai family will never frown."
Emperor Zhaoming's expression turned from green to white, and his eyes were filled with haze. After a stalemate for a while, he slowly said, "I want to know when did the Queen Mother start planning?"
