When Queen Xue saw Zheng Zheng's look, she lowered her eyes to cover up the distress in her eyes, and continued: "Prince, in all dynasties, there is not one person in ten thousand who can ascend the throne as an emperor as a prince! Can I tell you this before? you?"
Zheng Zheng nodded subconsciously and was speechless.
The queen mother indeed said so, Lord Zhan Shi also said so.
but……
He concentrated and gathered some of his messy thoughts: "Queen Mother, what you said is correct. However, Yu Youtang has been destroyed, and he is in urgent need of such a person by his side. Who can replace him?"
These words stung Queen Xue's pain, leaving her speechless for a moment.
If Yu Youtang could be easily replaced, she wouldn't be so heartbroken.
Seeing this, Zheng Zheng's mind became clearer, and he still said calmly: "Mother, I understand your concerns. But I also understand the truth. You can't find pearls in the grass on land. With Gu's status, if If you don't take the initiative to plan, I'm afraid you will really let the mermaid be your prey."
"Mother, don't worry. Even if I want to win over Zhu Yi, I will consider it carefully and will not act rashly."
However, Queen Xue still had a rare tough attitude: "Prince, I believe in you. But Zhu Yi, no!"
"..." Zheng Zheng was stunned. He had already said this, but his mother still didn't allow it?
You must know that wooing Zhu Yi and buying the hearts of ministers are not inconsistent with each other.
Could it be that the Queen Mother has been in the palace for a long time and is as timid and hesitant as other women in the palace?
Why didn't Queen Xue know what he was thinking?
She made up her mind and revealed what she had not planned to reveal: "Prince, do you know that Yu Youtang is the one the emperor intends to use to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army?"
Zheng Zheng's breath suddenly stopped, and it took him a while to find his voice: "But, isn't the Commander-in-Chief of the Beiya Forbidden Army... Shi Su?"
"Yes, it is indeed Shi Su now." The corners of Queen Xue's mouth drooped, and her dignified face actually looked a little bit mean. She sneered, "Prince, did you know that Shi Su is sick?"
When she asked this, she was sure that Zheng Zheng didn't know.
This is a secret of the Imperial Medical Office. Only the Imperial Physician Ling Fan Zhishou knows about it. If Yu Youtang hadn't been hers, she wouldn't have noticed.
"Shi Su is suffering from illness and is unable to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army. When the recruitment of the Beiya Imperial Army is completed, he will definitely leave the court." Queen Xue continued.
Yu Youtang once told her that the emperor once inadvertently asked him what he thought of the Beiya Imperial Army. Although he said it in a vague way, he always felt that he had something else to say.
After Empress Xue knew about it, she sent people to investigate, and finally heard a lot of rumors from Fan Zhishou Xina's concubine.
She knew Emperor Yongning very well, and she could quickly guess what Emperor Yongning was thinking.
For this reason, she was secretly happy.
Yu Youtang obeyed her orders. If he became the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army, would his role be comparable to that of a small Donggong Zuo Lie?
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, she also ordered Fan Zhishou's concubine to be silenced.
Who knows, the success will fall short!
There were still a few months to go, just a few months, and Yu Youtang was actually destroyed by Zhu Yi!
Empress Xue did not hide her heartache at all, and said coldly: "The emperor is very thoughtful. Unless this plan comes to fruition, no one will know about it. However, I know it. Zhu Yi is beside the emperor. People are good at measuring the emperor's heart, how could he not know that? Zhu Yi killed Yu Youtang in the martial arts pavilion. Do you think he had an ulterior motive?"
Every time Queen Xue asked a question, Zheng Zheng's face became more solemn.
However, Queen Xue still did not let him go and continued to poke at his heart: "Prince, you want to win over Zhu Yi? You also want to use Zhu Yi to replace Yu Youtang. Such behavior is so stupid! Why?"
"You don't know the emperor's thoughts, how can you compete with the emperor for people? Is there any way you can hide it from the emperor?"
"I don't understand Zhu Yi's thoughts. Even if you win over such a person, how do you know that he won't be a sword that kills the Lord? Zhu Yi, under the emperor's men, would dare to commit suicide.
If you have other ideas, you are just a prince, how can he be convinced by you? Can you handle it? I am just worried that you will end up just making wedding clothes for others! "
Queen Xue had never said such serious words to her son.
After all, her son was so good that she didn't need to worry about his past behavior.
Until Zhu Yi's incident...
She had to beat the drum and use a heavy hammer. Only by defeating her son's impetuous pride would he truly wake up.
Queen Xue believed that her son was smart and prudent, but he was too young after all. Although he was assisted by officials like Huang Pushan, he still experienced too few things.
Is the struggle for power, especially the struggle for imperial power, so simple?
She would rather her son walk slower but more steadily, rather than make mistakes because he is in a hurry.
You know, a prince can make mistakes, be sent to exile, or even be an idle prince.
However, the prince could do no wrong.
There are deposed princes and deceased princes in the world, but there is no such thing as an exiled prince!
Queen Xue's words were like thunder blows, hitting Zheng Zheng's heart one after another, causing his expression to change drastically.
"Mother, I am alone...I am alone..."
But he didn't know what to say.
Just now, he thought that his mother was afraid to move forward in the deep palace because she was a petty woman, but... it was because he was very proud and too arrogant.
You can't even see the cliff and abyss at the foot of the front!
If he really took a wrong step, he would be shattered to pieces.
Zheng Zheng subconsciously shrank his feet and broke into a cold sweat.
Upon seeing this, Queen Xue knew that the beating was in place, so her tone softened: "Prince, I know that you are always cautious, but how could you think so easily about Zhu Yi?"
These words left Zheng Zheng speechless and made him think about it over and over again in his mind.
Yes, since when did he start to want to win over Zhu Yi?
He remembered that in the Zichen Palace, Chang Ding was aggressive and pointed his finger at Zhu Yi. He also recalled the subtle thoughts his father showed toward Zhu Yi after hearing Chang Ding's words...
Could it be that it is Changding? Were Chang Ding’s words intentional?
He closed his eyes and sorted out the thoughts in his mind: "Mother, I don't know either. But I feel that there is someone behind the words you said, and there is a hand that is stirring everything. Whether it is Yu Youtang, It’s Zhu Yi, whether it’s Gu or Father… they’re all under the care of this hand.”
He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Empress Xue, and said with difficulty: "Even Queen Mother! Queen Mother, do you know that after the Imperial Medical Office discovered that Shen Yingsan was scattered, did they want to deal with Zhu Yi? So, what about after dealing with Zhu Yi? Yes Who gets the biggest benefit?"
The Wuge incident is becoming more and more involved. Who will benefit in the end?
Queen Xue's expression also changed, and her dignified expression was suddenly frozen by the wind and snow. It took a long time for her eyes to turn.
"Prince, are you saying that I am also involved in the situation?"
"Second update! e~ There should be three updates today!"
