Empress Dowager Sun also felt at first that it was King Tan who had gained the power of general affairs, and that the Wu family was a little complacent.
But if you think about it carefully, this woman's temperament is definitely not so unstable.
Then her purpose is obvious.
She just wants to anger herself!
And the most obvious consequences of irritating yourself are the two just mentioned.
In the final analysis, Mrs. Wu was just the late emperor's concubine. Others could not handle her, but Empress Dowager Sun could.
Even though you can't really do anything to her, you can still punish her.
And since she opened her mouth, Empress Dowager Sun could naturally remove King Tan from his power to supervise the country.
This is actually easy to reason out.
"But why?"
Knowing that the other party was deliberately irritating her, Queen Mother Sun calmed down and said thoughtfully.
"It can't be true. She is afraid that King Xi will be tired and sick, and she feels sorry for her son, right?"
Empress Dowager Sun scoffed at this statement.
She didn't believe it at all.
Concubine Wu Xian, mother and son, have no interest in power and position, but because the possibility is so slim, no one with any sense will give it a try.
Even if we can't really get anything from this situation now.
But the opportunity to take charge of state affairs does not come all the time.
If he could get through this crisis safely, King Tan himself would benefit a lot.
So, why does she push it out?
"Because it's impossible to turn it down."
Seeing that Queen Mother Sun understood, Jin Ying continued to explain.
It's no wonder that Queen Mother Sun couldn't figure it out. This matter itself involved the former harem and was extremely complicated.
If it weren't for Jin Ying's special status as a minister and having access to government affairs, he probably wouldn't have figured it out in just a few moments.
Empress Dowager Sun frowned: "It's impossible to reject it, so what do you mean?"
Jin Ying said solemnly: "The Queen Mother has generously appointed the crown prince and issued an edict to King Yin to supervise the general administration of the country. This was agreed upon by you and the elders of the Six Ministries. Not to mention Concubine Wu Xian, even you, if you want to regret it now , I’m afraid the courtiers will definitely refuse to admit it.”
"What's more, if the government is in turmoil now, someone must be the one to make the decision. Logically speaking, the prince should be the one to make the decision. However, my brothers are too young to be able to handle matters. And you are in the harem and have the laws of your ancestors. Therefore, this person can only be King Yin, and the courtiers will only recognize him as King Yin."
"Today's matter, at the most serious level, means that the wise concubine is worried about her son and offended you with her rude words. At the most minor level, it means that the harem woman has long hair and short knowledge."
"But if you care about it, if you avoid Prince Tan's errand, someone will definitely make a fuss about it, saying that you are still fighting for power in such a critical moment."
"The key point is that in the end, this matter will only delay Prince Ni from taking charge of the government for a few days. You will end up with a reputation of being narrow-minded."
Queen Mother Sun thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
Apart from anything else, in Bunren Hall today, the bosses have said sincerely several times that King Tan is the most suitable person to supervise the general administration of the country.
The other ministers who wanted to come to the outer court also had the same idea.
If they are not allowed, there will definitely be trouble.
Especially now that the crown prince still needs to be registered.
Empress Dowager Sun believed that as long as she dared to remove King Xi's power to supervise the country, Li Kena would immediately withhold the edict on registration.
In the end, she still had to give in.
But it’s such a hassle.
Not only did she become the target of public criticism, but King Xun also became the popular target.
Even if something went wrong in the future, it would be difficult for her to control him.
This Wu family is indeed very capable.
When she made such a fuss, it was hard for him to even punish her!
After all, she had just opposed the general administration of King Yi in Bunren Hall today, and now she had just returned to the harem and punished King Yi's mother-in-law.
In anyone's opinion, this is public revenge and private revenge.
Wu didn't come to add insult to injury at all.
On the contrary, she came to sow discord.
Queen Mother Sun can imagine it.
In the eyes of the elders in the court, these things in the harem are just trivial matters.
Even if Wu's words were slightly inappropriate, as the Queen Mother, she should not care too much.
What's more, there's nothing wrong with what Wu said.
No crying, no fuss, just mentioning it.
It's really not a big deal.
On the other hand, Queen Mother Sun only needs to make any move towards the mother and son.
They will all be interpreted by courtiers as unwilling to delegate power and disregarding the overall situation.
In this way, the courtiers would not say anything on their faces, but they would definitely have thoughts in their hearts.
Perhaps in normal times, the outer court and the inner palace are clearly distinct.
Whatever the courtiers wanted to think in their hearts, Queen Mother Sun didn't have to care.
But not now.
Now that the situation in the court is in turmoil, if anything happens to the emperor.
She also needs courtiers to be on her side to protect orthodoxy.
So at least during this period of time, she cannot offend the courtiers.
"The Ai family understands what you said..."
Queen Mother Sun sighed, remembering Wu's face when she left, she was so angry that her heart ached a little, and she said with hatred.
"But the Wu family is so arrogant, openly and secretly mocking the Ai family. The Ai family cannot swallow this tone!"
Jin Ying smiled bitterly, thought for a while and continued.
"I understand, but your Majesty, you must understand that the current situation is only temporary."
"The top priority is how to rescue the emperor and defend the capital."
"Once the emperor can be rescued, neither the virtuous concubine nor the king will be of any consequence."
"As long as the capital can be preserved, the country will be there, the prince will be in his rightful place, the East Palace will have its master, and the courtiers will act in accordance with etiquette, law and justice."
Jin Ying thought about the last sentence for a long time before speaking out boldly.
After all, this last assumption is based on the situation that the emperor cannot be saved.
Although it is very likely to come true, it is still taboo for a minister like him to say it.
Seeing that Queen Mother Sun still looked unwilling, Jin Ying struggled in his heart for a long time and continued.
"If the empress still feels dissatisfied, I have something to say, which may be feasible."
Queen Mother Sun felt happy and said quickly: "Say it."
Jin Ying leaned down and whispered a few words in Queen Mother Sun's ear.
After hearing this, Queen Mother Sun's expression changed, as if she was a little undecided.
After a long time, he reached out and called Li Yongchang over and gave a few instructions.
Then under Li Yongchang's surprised eyes, he got up and went back to Nuange to rest.
On the other side, Jin Ying also breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of Cining Palace before Li Yongchang could ask questions.
Just standing at the entrance of the palace, Jin Ying stopped.
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Prince Tan's Mansion outside the palace, with complex emotions that were difficult to explain in his eyes.
No one knows that this minister, Da Ju, plays an important role both in the inner palace and in the outer court.
What is he thinking in his mind at this moment...
