All Hail Cousin Brother - Chapter 981

Yin Huaixi nodded: “Empress Ning, with the support of the royalists, logically took the opportunity to organize the funeral for the Queen Mother.”

Yu Youyao was taken aback: “Empress Ning, as the concubine, has the advantage of her status, but Concubine Lan has been in charge of the harem for many years, so she may not be able to compete. With a lack of avatars, Queen Ning took advantage of the emptiness and took over the matter of presiding over the funeral ceremony for the Empress Dowager without any effort.”

From this point of view, Queen Ning’s calculation is more than Ning Yuanbo’s one.

Clearly it was an idea to kill two birds with one stone.

Empress Ning served the illness in the Shouyan Palace earlier. The imperial doctor asked for a pulse, prescribed prescriptions, and boiled medicine to prevent Empress Ning, but the physical condition of the empress dowager could not be concealed from anyone.

Empress Ning mastered the condition of the empress dowager, so that she could take advantage of the opportunity and make such calculations accurately.

Xu Shi had already started the layout when the Empress Dowager became seriously ill.

Yin Huaixi said: “Empress Ning will take this opportunity to gather the contacts that the Empress Dowager has managed outside the palace for many years, and at the same time, by organizing a national funeral, she will wantonly eradicate Lan Fei and Xu Guifei’s influence in the palace.”

Yu Youyao took it seriously: “Through the dynasties, there are not a few people who have been convicted of national mourning. This is a blatant and logical time.”

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been the practice of burial. Later, because Emperor Mingzong only favored the maids in front of the imperial court, and worried that after his death, the beloved woman would be buried, so the system of human sacrifice was abolished. The maid of the palace had a bad life, and the martyrdom has not recovered.

Although human sacrifice is abolished, it does not mean that people will not die.

As the saying goes, the death of a prince, a courtier, and nobles is the end of life and the change of power in the harem. Often, the struggle is the most intense at this time.

The dead are never in the minority.

First of all, almost all of the palace servants up and down the Shouyan Palace face the fate of being sentenced to death or secretly executed, at least two or three hundred people.

In addition, there are many palace servants who have been implicated, and they can’t escape death.

For various reasons, there are too many palace servants who died of power changes and struggles in the harem.

The king of **** fights, and the kid suffers.

At least three or five hundred people will die, but there are thousands, even thousands.

Therefore, this time is also the best time to gather contacts and connect people’s hearts. No one wants to die.

The change of power in the harem also directly affected the previous dynasty. During the national mourning period, everyone’s funeral ceremony and funeral system almost reached the level of strictness. From dressing, makeup, expression, attitude, and even every word and deed, you must be cautious. There is a slight error, a “disrespectful” hat is buckled, and there is no chance to even appeal for grievance.

It’s also a good time to let go of your dissent.

So, where is this two birds with one stone?

Clearly kill three birds with one stone.

Yu Youyao sighed: “As expected of the Queen Mother Ning who climbed high and climbed in a nightmare.”

One wave has not settled, another wave has arisen, the funeral ceremony of the empress dowager has not yet been decided, and Jingzhao has been in trouble again——

Liang Jingye, the son of Prince Liang, was poisoned and died tragically at home.

When the appalling news reached the court, a stone suddenly stirred up a thousand waves.

As we all know, the Prince of Liang went to Beijing alone, with only two servants who had been waiting by his side since childhood. The emperor personally gave the mansion and some servants.

Liangzhou mansion up and down, almost all people from the court.

It is intriguing that Liang Shizi was poisoned and tragically killed at home.

Right now, the emperor is seriously ill, the empress dowager has passed away, and the death of Liang Shizi seems to represent a certain message.

The cabinet urgently summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter, and jointly wrote a book of love, and quickly sent people to the Yu clan, asking Yu Zongshen to return to the court and restore the official position.

At this time, only the chief assistant of the cabinet can assist the Sheji in a straightforward manner, and ask Yu Zong to be careful to return to the court, so as to stabilize the leadership of the court, and the dispute over the reserve can be eased.

There was silence in the council hall, so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

Yu Ge was helpless, so he had to say, “Don’t you want to discuss things? Everyone has made a gourd with a saw mouth. How should we discuss this matter? We can’t wait for Lord Yu to return to the court before we discuss it!”

But Liang Shizi died, can this be delayed? !

Master Qi was the first to speak: “What do you think about this matter? The Empress Dowager passed away, inside and outside the palace, there is not even a serious person in charge of the state affairs, the matter involves the vassal king, the matter is big, it’s us Minister, can you arbitrarily argue? The key is to invite the emperor to come to the court as soon as possible and take charge of the government.”

The emperor is out, this matter can’t even be discussed, how should we deal with it? !

The Marquis of Zhenguo glanced at him, this old Qi, relying on himself as a member of the Supreme Court, really dared to say anything, and when it was time, he had to go to trouble.

The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the country with “loyalty” and “filial piety”. If the emperor could come to the court to manage the government, wouldn’t even the empress dowager die? !

However, the death of Liang Shizi made him think about it without realizing it. Ming Zhao told him before about the “true and false prince” theory. If Liang Wang really arranged a “true and false prince”, then his heart should be punished…

Zhen Guohou’s face became very ugly.

He subconsciously looked at Elder Yu Ge, who looked like the old man was there, but the slightly drooping corners of his mouth also revealed his solemn mood.

What he can guess, not only Elder Yu Ge, but everyone here can guess.

Therefore, the courtiers could temporarily let go of their desire to seize power, and jointly wrote a love letter, asking Yu Zongshen to return to the court to preside over the overall situation.

As soon as Master Qi said a word, other officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate seemed to have received some kind of signal, and they all agreed.

“This is a serious matter, and I dare not discuss it arbitrarily, and I will also ask the emperor to judge it before the court.”

“A country can’t be without a ruler for a day. The current situation is turbulent. Why can’t the emperor come to the court? There must be a reason for this matter, and it has been covered up. Why?”

“The empress dowager has passed away, and the funeral needs to be decided by the emperor.”

“Liang Shizi’s death has disturbed the entire dynasty, and it is related to the society. The emperor should come to the dynasty, find the murderer, appease the king of Liang, and the vassal kings of various places.

“The son of the dignified vassal king died in the capital for no apparent reason. This is simply appalling. This matter not only damages the majesty of the court, but also damages the prestige of the emperor. You should give King Liang an explanation as soon as possible, otherwise…”

“…”

Regardless of whether to give an explanation to King Liang or to appease the vassal king, the emperor can only come forward.

Elder Yu Ge sighed slightly, who did not know that the emperor was seriously ill and could no longer visit the court.

But who knows the specifics? There really should be a statement about what the emperor’s dragon body is like, it can’t be hung up and down all the time, = no matter what you do, you are worried about this, and you are worried about that, you can’t let go of your hands and feet, and you are constrained everywhere.
