Chapter 947 The insidious Lin Mu
"I know."
Ning Qingyu's determination did not waver at all, "But if I choose the first option, what's the difference between it and King Yan? What's the point of you supporting me?"
"This time, Wei Chen is convinced."
Zhang Bo bowed deeply.
Next to them, Li Yao, Qian Taolue and Zhang Zhengju were the same.
"In this case, Song has no objections."
Song Xu had to admit at this time that perhaps letting Ning Qingyu ascend the throne was the best choice.
"By the way, Mr. Song, since ancient times, the method implemented by many kings is to first accumulate prestige and then ascend the throne and claim the throne. Can't the empress not proclaim the king first and wait until the prestige is enough before she becomes the king?"
Zhang Zhengju was a little confused, "Will this reduce a lot of risks?"
Song Xu shook his head: "This may be feasible for men, but it is absolutely impossible for the empress. When there is a foreign war, after the empress ascends the throne, she can just use the war to eliminate all threats after ascending the throne, but if she waits until If he ascends the throne after the war is over, many people who should oppose him will still oppose him."
"What's more, have you ever thought about it, if by that time, the young princes and grandsons grow up and some of them are outstanding, then how will the empress and you and I deal with each other? Isn't it like someone else's wedding dress was in vain?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhengju immediately stopped talking.
They agreed to support Ning Qingyu. Firstly, Ning Qingyu was indeed outstanding. Secondly, they wanted to be famous forever. If they put down the war and the fruits of victory were picked off by a descendant of the Li family, everything they had done would be in vain. , then you will not be depressed and vomit blood.
"Of course, ascending the throne cannot be rushed. Before that, all arrangements must be made, at least to ensure stability in the short term, so that we can successfully win the first war."
Song Xu said, bowing to Ning Qingyu, "Please give me the order."
Ning Qingyu did her job and waved her sleeves: "Xu Guang obeys the order."
"The end will be here."
"The Forbidden Army currently has no commander, so it will be up to you, the deputy commander, to control the Forbidden Army."
"yes."
"Wu Yue listens to the order. It is up to you to control the imperial guards and ensure the stability of the palace."
"Qian Tao slightly listens to the order, you are responsible for controlling the industrial and commercial class, and you cannot let them cause any trouble."
"Zhang Zhengju obeys the order, and you will be responsible for the order of Yanjing..."
Orders were issued by Ning Qingyu one after another, and all the officials present came and took orders one after another.
After arranging the others, Ning Qingyu looked at Taishi Zhang Bo: "Master Zhang, then I leave it to you to appease the emotions of the ministers in the court."
"I will do my best to ensure that they do not do anything stupid before the first war is launched."
Zhang Bo said seriously.
"Master Li."
Ning Qingyu turned her attention to Li Yao again, "I will leave it to you to take charge of the Li clan."
"With my ministers here, they will not be able to cause any trouble."
Li Yao said, "But before that, we must seek the consent of Zhuang Qingzhai and Marshal Lu."
Everyone else nodded, Ning Qingyu wanted to become king, but without the support of Zhuang Qingzhai and Lu Jiuxiao, it would never be possible.
On the same day, Ning Qingyu sent a letter to Zhuang Qingzhai and Lu Jiuxiao, expressing the content of the meeting and the final result.
Northern border.
In the camp, Lu Jiuxiao looked complicated.
He actually had this premonition as early as when he was on Yueshan Mountain.
That's why he looked at Ning Qingyu complicatedly many times and chose to leave afterwards.
He will not participate in the decision on this kind of matter and can only wait for the decision to come.
But he didn't expect that the decision would come so quickly.
the next day.
Ning Qingyu received a reply from Lu Jiuxiao. There was only one word in the letter: "Yes."
On the same day, Zhuang Qingzhai also sent someone to reply: "I am willing to drive you towards the great cause of eternity."
Time passes day by day.
On the fifth day, Ning Qingyu was sitting in Chengqian Palace reviewing memorials when a palace maid suddenly came to report.
"explain."
Ning Qingyu said calmly.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has just spoken again, urging you to lift his house arrest as soon as possible, saying that no one else in the Yan Kingdom is qualified to ascend the throne except him. If you continue to house him, you will be released after he ascends the throne. Let you..."
After speaking, the maid became stammering.
"What do you want me to do?"
Ning Qingyu raised her head, looked at the palace maid and smiled.
Seeing Ning Qingyu's smile, the palace maid immediately calmed down, and her words became fluent, and she said angrily: "This eldest prince actually said that if you treat him well, it's great that he can be polite and respectful to you, otherwise, After he ascends the throne, he will accept you as his concubine and let you taste the power of his king."
Hearing this, Ning Qingyu's eyes turned cold, but then she waved her hand: "I understand, I am sending an order from this palace. From now on, all supplies for the eldest prince will be cut in half, and he will not be allowed to step out of Ciqing Palace. Half a step.”
Ciqing Palace, this is the palace of the eldest prince. Ever since Yue Shan returned, Ning Qingyu has put him under house arrest in the palace.
"yes."
The palace maid stuck out her tongue, sensing that Ning Qingyu was really angry.
But she had nothing to worry about. In her opinion, no matter whether Ning Qingyu was the Queen Mother or the Imperial Concubine, her status would still be the same in the future, and she would be right to serve her well.
News about Ciqing Palace and Chengqian Palace soon reached Lin Mu’s ears.
This was not because he was well-informed, but because Ning Qingyu did not hide anything from him and would ask the palace maid to send him a message whenever something happened.
"The eldest prince?"
There seemed to be no anger on Lin Mu's face, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
Maybe Ning Qingyu regarded the eldest prince as a clown and didn't want to argue with him, but he couldn't bear it.
Then, Lin Mu smiled and said to Xu Guang, "I heard that the relationship between the third prince and the eldest prince has always been very bad?"
"certainly."
After meeting at the Peony Banquet last time, Xu Guang and Lin Mu already had a very good relationship, and they talked much more casually than others. "These two have been competing for the position of crown prince for more than ten years. It doesn't matter if they say they are in the same boat." Pass."
"Then tell me, if the third prince learns that the eldest prince will inherit the throne in the future, will he be willing to do so?"
Lin Mu smiled even more sinisterly.
"Don't say he's willing. I think he might even want to skin the eldest prince."
Xu Guang shook his head.
"That's good."
Lin Mu's eyes calmed down, "Xu Guang, do me a favor and tell the third prince that the eldest prince is about to inherit the throne, and arrange for him to go to Ciqing Palace."
Xu Guang was not stupid. When he heard this, he immediately understood why Lin Mu suddenly cared about the eldest prince, and was trembling all over. At this time, asking the third prince to see the eldest prince, this can only be said...
Lin Mu is so insidious.
Ciqing Palace.
"This bitch."
The eldest prince soon discovered that instead of showing any signs of releasing him, Ning Qingyu had reduced the material supply he enjoyed by half, and he became furious.
Then, a sinister look appeared in his eyes: "I don't believe that you can put me under house arrest for the rest of my life. Even if I can bear it, the clan members and ministers outside cannot bear it. Sooner or later, they will take me out to ascend the throne."
Gululu...
At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair turning came from outside the door.
