At this time, the Queen Mother only felt that Zhu Jingxuan, the current emperor, was more calm than she, an outsider, when it came to abandoning the entire Daqian world. At least, as the current Queen Mother of Daqian, she had some When she thought about stepping down from the position of Queen Mother and becoming the "eldest princess" of the new dynasty, or even just the "royal aunt" of the new emperor, she felt a wave of discomfort in her heart.
In the end, Zhu Jingxuan was a good guy. As the current emperor of Da Gan, he didn't think about how to revitalize the country and fight for the emperor's power from the hands of powerful ministers. However, in terms of betrayal, he charged ahead, as if he didn't want to give Da Gan to the emperor. If you lose, you won’t be willing to accept it...
However, compared to Zhu Jingxuan's indifferent attitude towards Daqian, the Queen Mother, who was born in the Liu family, did not dare to act as recklessly as Zhu Jingxuan. After all, in the future, Daqian would be controlled by her Liu family. To be "inherited", if the Liu family inherits such a world riddled with flaws and malpractices, then it won't be her Liu family who will have to expend effort to make up for all the losses.
In that case, why bother?
It's not that the Queen Mother is really so loyal to the Liu family and wants the Liu family to inherit a prosperous and powerful world. In fact, even if the Liu family inherits Daqian, she will at most be a "eldest princess", or even , because of Daqian’s status as the Queen Mother, the life in the future may not be so easy... Anyway, it will definitely not be as good as the current Queen Mother’s life!
Under such circumstances, she still had all kinds of worries. The reason was simply because, as the queen mother of the dynasty, she was worried that after doing such a thing, she would be rushed into the palace by her nephew who had never known her relatives. Zhonglai killed him with his own hands...
Therefore, after thinking for a while, the Queen Mother reluctantly rejected Zhu Jingxuan's "criminal silver" proposal, but she showed great interest in forming a "mutual aid association" to collect dues from the eunuchs in the palace.
Soon, the Queen Mother, who had finalized the "Mutual Aid Association", wrote a letter to Prime Minister Liu Xun in front of Zhu Jingxuan. After finishing the letter, she had it sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked to deliver it to Prime Minister Liu Xun in person. hands.
Soon, Prime Minister Liu Xun, who was handling official duties in the Prime Minister's Mansion, received a letter from the Queen Mother.
In the letter, the Queen Mother explained to Prime Minister Liu Xun the greed of the few servants who monitored the emperor. At the same time, she told Prime Minister Liu Xun in a subtle way that Zhu Jingxuan had previously acted like "a child who betrays his father but does not feel sorry for him".
After reading the letter from the Queen Mother, Prime Minister Liu Xun sighed helplessly, and then he handed the letter from the Queen Mother to his son Liu Tao.
Prime Minister Liu Xun's son Liu Tao, after reading the letter in his hand, immediately looked at his father Liu Xun in the chair with some surprise and uncertainty: "Father, this letter from the Queen Mother..."
"That's right, my aunt...that is, your aunt, finally started to worry about her stepping down from the position of Queen Mother and becoming the Queen's Aunt!" Prime Minister Liu Xun chuckled and shook his head. "She This is a way to test me!"
Then, Prime Minister Liu Xun raised his head and asked his son Liu Tao: "Tao'er thinks, does Tao'er think that the Queen Mother's face should be given to her as a father?"
Liu Tao, the son of Prime Minister Liu Xun, after thinking for a while, immediately replied: "Father, in my son's opinion, my father must give the Queen Mother this face!"
"Oh? Tell me!" Prime Minister Liu Xun showed a look of interest.
"My father has already sent people to the palace to inquire about the relationship between the mother and son of the queen mother and the current majesty..."
Speaking of this, Liu Tao couldn't help but reveal a slightly sarcastic smile.
"It's a pity that this little eunuch took the initiative to surrender to the emperor, but the little emperor was very knowledgeable and informed him directly. After this incident, I am afraid no one will dare to surrender to the little emperor again in the future. After all, no one wants to I just expressed my loyalty to the emperor, but was betrayed by the emperor... Now, since the Queen Mother Aunt has begun to worry about the future, and the little emperor is still so knowledgeable, if we don't give them this face, say Maybe, they will think that we will be liquidated in the future, and it will even arouse their resistance and bring us a lot of unnecessary trouble... In this case, it is better to accept their request and wait for my Liu family to usurp it in the future. After Da Qian, I will kill or chop them both. When the time comes, I can just act according to my mood!"
Looking at his talkative son, Prime Minister Liu Xun just chuckled, but didn't say much.
Regarding this, Liu Tao couldn't help but become a little worried, and immediately asked his father Liu Xun cautiously: "Father, is there anything wrong with what the child just said? If there is anything wrong, I hope that my father will Criticize and correct!”
"There's nothing to criticize or correct!" Prime Minister Liu Xun waved his hand gently and said, "Since Tao'er has said so... Considering that aunt has helped our family so much over the years, I will give it to you today. Forget about her face... Anyway, it’s just the lives of a few chamberlains, it’s not worth anything!”
After hearing what Liu Xun said, Liu Tao couldn't help but hesitantly asked: "Father, is there really nothing wrong with what the child said before? Father doesn't have to care about the child's face. What's wrong with it?" Just point it out!"
"In my opinion, when looking at a matter, we must grasp the main contradiction... Let me ask you, after punishing those internal servants, whose current situation will be the most beneficial?" Prime Minister Liu Xun asked himself. The son said.
"Who is most beneficial?" Liu Tao reacted immediately after being stunned for a moment, "Father means... Your Majesty? But how is this possible? He is just a puppet emperor. Now, inside and outside the palace, They are all our people, even the Queen Mother who is in charge of the entire palace is from our Liu family... No, looking at the current situation, is the Queen Mother planning to support the emperor? Help the little emperor get rid of the spy we arranged around him? But... ...There is no reason! After all, the Queen Mother’s surname is Liu. Even if she wants to do something, it should be based on the interests of our Liu family. Why would she help that puppet little emperor? Could it be that... ...Auntie the Queen Mother is ready to rebel?"
Looking at his son who suddenly became excited, Prime Minister Liu Xun waved his hand calmly and said: "It's over! It's over! Now, your aunt the Queen Mother has no guts to go against me!"
