The Crown Prince's wife's natal family is also from the Hou family, but the official family has been so angry that she vomited blood and fainted during the morning court a few days ago. She is still "recuperating" in the palace. She can't see the official family even if she wants to plead for mercy.
Thinking of possible accidents, Mrs. Zhao asked Mrs. Prince and her two children to go back to her natal Marquis Mansion to stay for a while. Now that the Zhenguo General's Mansion was a mess, all the slaves who could leave were gone. She asked her daughter-in-law to go back to her natal home for a while. There is nothing wrong with it, but in this way, it is confirmed that the Zhenguo General's Mansion is almost over.
Mr. Zhou and his wife rushed back to the capital, but were informed that the wedding had been cancelled. After hearing the whole story, I couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Yinghong was well-informed and sensible. He went to the Zhenguo General's Mansion to pay a visit and left his own servants to help the few servants in the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Saying it was a loan, coupled with the instigation and complaints from Butler Ding who was short of manpower, Mrs. Zhao agreed.
Although Master Zhou didn't borrow many slaves, only a dozen or so, they were almost equal to the number of slaves currently left in the mansion, so they were able to make do with it.
On the tenth day when the official was "recuperating", King An took a group of ministers and a dozen private soldiers who were among them to pick out the best, and went to the palace in a mighty manner.
When breaking into a palace, one usually has to kneel down and ask for permission from the officials in the palace. When there is no news, one can then quote scriptures and even pretend to bump into pillars to force entry.
King An didn't have the time to kneel down and argue, and led his men to rush in. Although the imperial guards on duty blocked the way, King An still successfully pushed open the palace door after being cut into two.
The chief eunuch who hurriedly ran out of the house spread his arms and tried to stop him, but was pushed aside.
When he opened the last door, he saw the official dressed in obscene clothes, lying motionless on the bed. The queen sat on the edge of the bed wiping her tears, and the imperial physician ordered him to kneel next to her.
The queen stared with tearful eyes: "Being brave, breaking into the palace is not counted, but why don't you kneel down when you see an official?"
King An immediately knelt down, and everyone who entered followed suit and said, "Long live, long live, long live, long live!"
The imperial doctor was kneeling beside him, his head lowered and his voice was trembling. He must have been frightened by the battle in front of him: "My lords, please don't make any noise. The official has been in a coma for many days, so we must not disturb him."
At this time, An Wang's heart suddenly dropped, he was afraid that the official would be awake, and since he was unconscious, it would be easier to handle.
Sure enough, Prince Hua behind him spoke: "Queen, this country cannot live without a king for a day. The officials are unconscious all the time, and there is no one in charge in the court. We must make plans as soon as possible."
The queen said angrily: "You have made plans early, but what are your plans? Are you hoping that the official family will die?"
"Your Majesty, be careful." Taifu Liu on the side was afraid that Zhongshu Ling would take the credit, so he took the first step and said: "There has been no one in charge of the court for ten days. The papers are piled up like a mountain. The important matters of the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of War All need answers. King An's minister, Li Shu, is a sage with the ability to navigate the universe. I would like to ask the empress to issue an edict on his behalf and establish King An's succession to the throne."
"Please give me the decree for your Majesty!" All the ministers behind him echoed in unison.
When Zhongshu Ling said this, he rolled his eyes at Taifu Liu. He should have said this, but even if he said it, after King An inherited the throne, the position of queen would still belong to his daughter.
"Bold!" The queen suddenly became furious. She stood up suddenly and pointed at the kneeling ministers with trembling hands: "You are eating the emperor's salary but not being loyal to the emperor. If you want to succeed to the throne, the prince will succeed to the throne. How can you still succeed?" It’s not King An’s turn.”
Zhongshu Ling said loudly: "Although the prince is old, his talents are weak. The current period in the court is troubled, and it is necessary for the new king to carry the scales, command the soldiers, and engage in treachery. Wang An is a sage from heaven, and he is a civilized and military expert. We can unify our great cause. Please put national affairs first!"
Then the words behind him were all uniform: "Please put national affairs first."
Although the queen had been reading and hyphenating since she was a child, she was so choked up that she couldn't speak for a moment among the ministers and rivals who read poetry and books, fought with each other, and spit.
Someone took out the edict of succession that had been prepared. After receiving it, King Huajun raised his hands and said, "Please, the empress, stamp the imperial seal on your behalf!"
Breaking into the palace turned into forcing her to go to the palace. The queen was so angry that her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she pushed the matter away: "I can't make the decision on such a big matter. When the officials wake up, I will give you another one." Explain."
Come on, when the officials wake up, there will be no need to pass the throne.
Zhongshu Ling said loudly: "The officials still don't know when they will wake up. Is it possible that if I don't wake up for a day, there will be no king in the court?"
"But if the officials don't wake up, who can make the decision for them? The officials just don't wake up. Unless the officials agree, no one can afford it!" The queen waved her sleeves and insisted that the succession of the throne would not be possible unless the officials agreed. If the official family collapses, otherwise the official family must make the decision.
Duke Rong Guo rolled his eyes and turned to glare at the imperial physician: "Is it true that the official has been awake all this time and has never opened his eyes?"
"Yes..." Just as the imperial physician Ling raised his head, he saw Rong Guo Gong's sinister eyes, and he changed the meaning of the words he said: "Yes... sometimes I open my eyes, but the porridge, water, and medicine are still needed." Just drink it."
Duke Rongguo turned around and said: "In that case, your highness might as well go over and ask. If the official opens his eyes by chance, ask if he is willing to pass on your highness. If he blinks once, if not, blink twice."
When the imperial doctor heard this, he was relieved and wanted to raise his sleeves to wipe his sweat. But when he saw the queen's angry eyes, he quickly put his hands down and lowered his head, not daring to look... Don't blame him, he is just a little imperial doctor. , if he doesn't do what he says, and those officials say that he doesn't try his best to save the official, they can immediately pull him down and kill him with a stick.
After hearing what Duke Rong Guo said, King An stood up: "I will go to visit my father now. I hope that my father will receive God's blessing and reply to me."
The queen was so angry that she was blessed by God. When the time came, King An insisted that the official family would wake up for a while, and in the blink of an eye, it was the official family who agreed to pass the throne to him. Who else said that the throne was not passed to King An from the official family? ?
The prince was granted the title of king, which could save his life for the time being, but after all, he had been a prince. As time went by, King An would definitely remove this thorn in his side.
The queen wanted to stop, but Wang An pushed her away. In the eyes of martial arts practitioners, ordinary women have no power to restrain a chicken and cannot stop her at all.
The queen fell to the ground, and none of the palace maids behind her dared to step forward. Only the nanny who was accompanying the bride came up, but she held the queen down and shook her head helplessly, telling the queen not to resist anymore, otherwise her life might not be saved. You must know that when King An succeeds to the throne, if he is determined, even the queen can be killed and buried in the imperial mausoleum with the late emperor based on the reason that the queen wanted to go with the late emperor.
King An's heart was as turbulent as the tide of a river. All he had to do was go up, say a few words, and then let the officials pass the throne to him. If he agreed, he would blink once, and if he didn't, he would blink twice. Then he told everyone that the official woke up, blinked, and the throne was his!
He walked to the dragon bed and pretended to wipe his eyes with his sleeves: "Father, father, how did you become like this!"
The official lay motionless. Not to mention that King An was crying, he could hardly hold back his laughter, but he still pretended to howl: "I finally see you, please open your eyes and look at me." "
The minister behind him couldn't wait any longer: "Your Highness King An, please quickly ask the officials if they agree with you inheriting the throne." Stop acting, everyone is kneeling. Your knees will hurt if you kneel for a long time.
