Ying Zheng hurriedly asked: "Did they admit it?"
Concubine Quan nodded: "The queen had intended to appoint you. She was originally worried that the princes in front of her would be senior in rank and it would be difficult to operate. After hearing the last words of the late emperor brought out by the three provinces, is there any reason not to believe it?"
"The King of Song was a little surprised at first, but later he was persuaded by the Queen - the Queen had always suspected that the death of the eldest son was the work of several of the princes' biological mothers. Bringing this matter out was enough to block King Song's No matter how young and virtuous he is, he still has to take the overall situation into consideration."
After hearing what she said, Ying Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, and then said: "What's wrong with you? On the contrary, it's my son who wants to thank you for paving the way for my future!"
The succession of the imperial throne, and even the transfer of supreme power, are essentially the succession of legal traditions.
Taking over the throne from the late emperor is completely different from taking over the throne from the queen!
If it's the former, unless you do something truly outrageous, or you betray your relatives, basically no one can drag you down from the throne.
But if it's the latter...
After all, the queen is just a queen, and there are other princes in the palace. Once there is any objection from outside, the chair under the new emperor's butt may not be secure.
Furthermore, once this matter succeeds, it will set a very bad precedent for the new emperor.
The new emperor's aunt and queen mother can establish an emperor, but can she depose one? !
If it can be established, of course it can be destroyed!
His chair was passed down to him by the late emperor. In this case, the queen, as the wife of the late emperor and subordinate to the late emperor, naturally has no right to depose him. This is something she cannot do, let alone the eldest princess Changhua. .
Ying Zheng felt relieved. Looking at the tearful Concubine Quan in front of him, he couldn't help but feel puzzled and a little funny. He took a handkerchief and asked her to wipe her tears: "I thought it was a big deal."
Concubine Quan clutched the handkerchief, a little worried that her son, who had been with her for many years, would blame her for it: "After that, San Sheng and I will see each other every once in a while. He didn't threaten me, it was me." willing……"
Ying Zheng said again: "I think it's a big deal."
"That's good," he said, "when the late emperor was here, he didn't have much tenderness for you. Now that he's gone, there is someone willing to care about you and take care of you. What's wrong?"
Then he asked: "Do I need to transfer him to you? You may not be able to speak out about such things, but I can speak up."
Concubine Quan never expected that her son would say that. She looked at him blankly for a long time before she could not believe what she said: "You, are you talking angrily?"
Ying Zheng shook his head and saw that she was just holding the handkerchief and not moving, so he took the handkerchief from her hand and raised his hand to wipe her tears: "I'm not talking in anger. I really hope you can survive." Well done."
When the late emperor was still alive, he could throw her into hell in order to show his determination to correct his mistakes when he knew they were wrong. What kind of kindness would it be to her?
In this case, why bother to stay for the late emperor in these great years!
And the three provinces...
He was willing to tell such a big lie for Concubine Quan, so he must have really been interested in her.
Ying Zheng took a very open-minded view: "When things happen here, if you are willing, you can live with him in the palace. It is not like this palace in the capital, where there are many people and cluttered eyes. You can be as natural as you want. Deal with it."
What Ying Zheng expressed: A mother who doesn’t let her illegitimate child take over my throne is a peerless good mother!
Concubine Quan heard: After I was widowed, my son encouraged me to go to a bank party!
Let me tell you something, my son's receptive ability is not very high...
In ordinary families, a son would be reluctant because his mother remarried, but he accepted it so quickly...
You want me to live in the palace with San Sheng?
It's a shame he figured it out.
Concubine Quan was surprised at first, but when she thought about it deeply, her heart suddenly became sour.
This silly boy.
"How could a mother have the heart to leave you alone and let you be alone here?"
"In my heart, no one is as important as you."
Even myself.
In Ying Zheng, love and hate are equally intense.
The more the person he loves wants to reject his love, the more he will cut open his chest and show his passion and sincerity in front of the other person.
And why is it not so for Concubine Quan?
After Shuanghong finished what she was doing, she saw the concubine and the new emperor, mother and son, hugging each other and crying, and couldn't help but be shocked.
What happened?
…
Ying Zheng asked Concubine Quan and found out that Jiang Maoyan was only imprisoned at this time, but had not yet been tried and executed.
There was great controversy in the court about how to deal with him.
Some people say that he is a hero of the country and should not be accused and sent to prison and suffer such humiliation. Others say that he is the number one traitor in the dynasty and should be killed quickly.
Some people watched and said nothing.
As for Ying Zheng’s thoughts...
Meritorious service deserves reward, and delinquency deserves punishment. And what sin did Jiang Maoyan commit against the State of Zhou?
He is not a monarch who knows how to catch birds and hide them in bows, and Jiang Maoyan should not be Shang Yang of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And beyond that...
The night is deep, and most of the people in this palace have already settled down.
Concubine Quan was also supported by Shuanghong and went back to rest.
Only Ying Zheng walked out of the palace carrying a wine flask, then poured a glass of wine and worshiped in the direction of the late emperor's palace.
"Let's have a glass of wine to pay homage to Emperor Daxing, and also to pay homage in advance to Princess Changhua and Bai Yanqing who are fooling around in his palace."
The wine was spilled on the ground, and a mellow aroma filled the air.
Ying Zheng poured another glass and raised his hand to drink it: "I'm really sorry, Your Majesty. I will make the decision for you tonight and it will be a good thing for my mother and the three provinces. In exchange, how about saving Jiang Maoyan for you?"
…
At this moment, under the Nine Springs.
Emperor Zhou had been violently insulting Princess Changhua and Bai Yanqing for an hour.
After a short intermission, he began to violently insult Lao Liu, who was secretly in love with Princess Changhua.
Then he received a notice - it's broken, the sixth child of your family has been taken away by the sixth child!
Emperor Zhou: "???"
When he arrived at the place, he took a look and asked about it, and he was immediately shocked.
Listening to what the sixth child said to his mother again, I was completely speechless.
But……
But.
"You little bastard!"
Emperor Zhou's throat was sore and his eyes were wet on the ground: "You must do it for me if you say it!"
Chapter 230
Jiang Maoyan's luck was really bad - because the late emperor fainted when he was playing solo.
There were no attendants in the palace at that time, and no one knew what the monarch and his ministers said.
When the late emperor first fell, Jiang Maoyan was also shocked. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a message to the queen and King Song.
This is actually completely in line with the procedures and procedures.
The empress is the wife of the late emperor and the lord of the Sixth Palace. Her son is about to succeed him.
As for the King of Song, he was the uncle of the late emperor and the mainstay of the clan.
Now that Jiang Maoyan is here, the inner palace, the clan, and the front court, these three carriages are complete.
The problem lies in distance and entangled interests.
The King of Song Dynasty is outside the palace, and the Queen is inside the palace. Can this be the same?
Not to mention that although Jiang Maoyan was in the palace, the late emperor suddenly fainted. The incident happened suddenly. If it was not handled properly, the whole city would be in trouble. Maybe other countries would swarm to take advantage of it.
The late Emperor Qiansheng fell at this time and could not take charge of politics, but the eldest son of the emperor...
To be honest, Jiang Maoyan's confidence in him is quite limited.
Due to the consideration of blocking the news, he could not and could not publicize the matter immediately.
This also led to a situation where the Queen of Song had not arrived when she came, and she took over the overall situation.
During this time, the late emperor was planning with Jiang Maoyan to get rid of the Shiqing Shilu system, and it was time for him to meet with the old nobles. As the queen was limited by her background, she would definitely oppose this. Yes.
Jiang Maoyan's tragedy arises from this.
After the queen consulted the imperial doctor and learned that the possibility of the late emperor waking up was slim, she made a huge gamble - accusing Jiang Maoyan of evil intentions and intimidating the emperor to the point where the emperor was so angry that he fainted.
If the emperor wakes up during this period, then based on how much he values Jiang Maoyan, he will probably break off all ties with the queen on the spot.
But the queen won the bet.
The emperor did not get that one ten thousandth chance.
By the time King Song arrived in a hurry, Jiang Maoyan was already at a loss for words. The emperor's incident did indeed happen when he was playing solo, and there was even a close servant nearby who heard something "just right"...
The Queen is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, and the Queen's son is almost without objection the next monarch. To the palace attendants, she is an absolute authority and a terrifying existence that is almost a nightmare, especially at this time. It was almost impossible for the emperor to wake up again.
These people know very well what kind of mouth they should have.
The King of Song remained silent for a considerable period of time.
When it comes to valuing the Zhou Kingdom and guessing the emperor's nature, the King of Song will definitely surpass the Queen, but at this time, he has no need and cannot fight with the Queen.
Because the throne will most likely be handed over to the eldest son of the emperor.
And given the feud between His Highness and Jiang Maoyan, even if he is saved now, he will still die when the emperor's eldest son ascends the throne in the future.
Therefore, the King of Song just spoke, seeking a glimmer of hope for Jiang Maoyan: "Let's go to jail for the time being. As for how to deal with it... This is a prime minister. In the end, we still have to discuss it with the previous government!"
