After making a fuss in the middle of the night, Yun Chang slept well in the second half of the night, but she felt that she hadn't slept long before she was woken up.
When she woke up, Yun Chang was still a little dazed, and looked at the different furnishings in the palace. It took a long time to wake up, sat up and looked at the sky outside, it was still dark outside.
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes: "What time is it?"
"Three quarters of the Yin hour." Seeing that Yun Shang was still a bit sleepy, Qian Zhuo quickly reminded: "Today, the empress is going to the morning court, so she can afford it."
Yun Chang's consciousness gradually became clear, she nodded in response, and ordered in a low voice: "I'm still a little confused, go and fetch me a basin of cold water to wake me up."
Qian Zhuo agreed, and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
Yun Chang sat on the bed for a while, then got out of bed.
Qianzhuo fetched water in, twisted the veil and handed it to Yunshang. As the weather got colder, the cold water seemed to be a little bit colder. The cold handkerchief touched her face, which made Yun Chang feel a jolt, and her whole body woke up.
After waiting for Yunshang to wash and wash, Qianzhuo quickly walked to a box beside her, turned her head and asked Yunshang: "The maidservant packed up some of the ordinary clothes that the empress usually wears, as well as court clothes and two sets of dresses, since the empress wants today Going to court, you should wear court clothes, right?"
"Well, just wear court clothes."
Yun Shang responded, took out the court clothes, and called Pei Lan and Hua'er to help put the court clothes on Yun Chang, and gave Yun Chang a Lingyun bun.
Just after breakfast, Wang Wanzhi and Liu Wen'an brought two servants outside the door: "Your Majesty, it's morning."
Yunshang nodded, stood up, adjusted her clothes with Qianzhuo, and then led her to the Taiji Hall.
It was Mao time, and the Chinese and military officials of the Taiji Hall were already waiting in the hall.
Liu Wen'an turned his head to look at Yun Shang, with inquiries in his eyes, Yun Shang nodded, turned around, took the memorial from Qian Zhuo, and handed it to Liu Wen'an.
Liu Wen'an quickly lowered his head, took the memorial with both hands, and then turned his head and sang loudly: "The empress is here—"
All the officials in the hall seemed a little surprised, and there were discussions, and for a while, the Tai Chi Hall was extremely noisy.
Yun Shang just pretended not to hear, and walked into the hall.
As soon as Yunshang walked into the hall, the noise in the hall stopped and became silent.
Step by step, Yun Chang walked steadily towards the dragon chair that symbolized the supreme power. There was a chair beside the dragon chair, which should have been specially arranged by Liu Wen'an.
Yun Chang walked to the chair, turned around, and looked down at the officials in the palace.
"The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." A voice of greetings sounded from the hall.
"Pingshen." Yunshang's voice was cold, echoing in the Tai Chi Hall.
All the officials in the palace stood up, looked at each other for a while, and finally someone stood up: "This is the golden palace of His Majesty's early court, and now it is also above the early court. Why don't you see His Majesty, only the Empress? The harem is not allowed to do politics, The empress's move is probably a bit inappropriate."
"Bengong appears here, naturally there is a reason for me." Yun Shang's expression was still indifferent, and he only raised his eyes slightly: "Boss Liu..."
"Yes." Liu Wen'an stood up and unfolded the memorial in his hand: "Everyone, listen to the order!"
Seeing this, the court officials couldn't help but looked at each other again, seeing the doubts in their eyes, they knelt down again: "My minister listens to the order!"
Liu Wen'an glanced around the hall, then lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the memorial in his hand: "Following the heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Since ancient times, emperors have inherited the heavens and set up poles and caressed the Yuhuan area, and they must establish Yuan Chu and Maolong. …”
As soon as they heard the beginning of the imperial decree, some courtiers suddenly raised their heads, looked at Liu Wen'an in disbelief, and then set their eyes on Yun Shang again.
Yun Chang had already expected that once the imperial decree came out, it would definitely cause all kinds of reactions, so it was not surprising. She only glanced coldly, and those who raised their heads lowered one after another.
"The eldest son of the imperial concubine, Xia Chengye, handsome and diligent in learning, possessed of talents, he was specially registered as the crown prince, and he is in the East Palace, with the ten thousand year tradition and the heart of the world."
"Because of my sudden illness, I am powerless in state affairs, and I need to take care of it for a while. From now on, the crown prince Xia Chengye will be in charge of the government. Everyone will treat me like me! The queen will assist him, and the princes and elders will assist him. , to strengthen the court. Qin this."
After the imperial decree was read, there was no one in the hall for a long time, and it was almost audible to drop a needle.
Yun Shang casually played with the brocade handkerchief in his hand, and finally there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "My lords, why don't you rush to accept the order? Is it possible that you still want to resist the order and refuse to obey it?"
As soon as Yun Chang's words came out, everyone in the hall finally reacted, they only exchanged glances with the left and right, but no one answered the order.
Yun Chang was not in a hurry, and just asked with a smile: "Your lords seem to be unwilling to accept the decree? Is it possible that you have any opinions on this decree?"
After a long while, someone finally took two steps forward: "Returning to the empress's words, I am indeed a little puzzled. Your Majesty has not gone to the morning court for two days, and Manager Liu only said that it was because he was dealing with political affairs at night and got up from the cold." Because of the high fever. This fever should not be a serious illness, right? Why did you suddenly issue this edict?"
"It's fine if it's just to establish a crown prince. Since ancient times, it's not a big deal for emperors to establish a crown prince sooner or later. However, it is really inexplicable that the crown prince is suddenly allowed to supervise the country. You know, His Royal Highness is now It's less than two years old..."
As soon as these words came out, there were many responses immediately.
"Yes, Master Li's words are reasonable."
"Furthermore, for such an important imperial decree, His Majesty is not here, and only the empress is here to issue the decree, which is a bit too strange..."
"The imperial decree also asks the Empress to assist His Highness the Crown Prince in handling political affairs, which really makes people have to think about it."
"Your Majesty hasn't shown up for nearly three days. Could it be that something happened? The imperial edict must have been made by the Empress herself, right?"
At the beginning, it was quite gentle, but later on, the mixed questions became more and more impolite.
"If I want to see Your Majesty, even if I want to receive the decree, I have to see His Majesty with my own eyes, so that I can accept the decree with peace of mind. The empress came to issue the decree alone, and it is such an imperial decree, which is inevitably suspicious. I suspect that the empress is It's not that he secretly harmed His Majesty, and then forged such an imperial decree to control the imperial court."
"And even if His Majesty is ill and unable to deal with political affairs, there is still the Supreme Emperor. Where can we get a child with wisdom teeth who can't even speak clearly to take charge of the government? And where can we get a princess from a neighboring country to assist Chao Gang?"
