The Empress Dowager sent someone to Anhe City to inquire about the news and she has returned. The Emperor is indeed missing, and even Lu Yaoyao has disappeared. This news was suppressed by General Ye. The empress and empress are probably already in dire straits.
This news made the Empress Dowager almost unable to restrain her joy. She suppressed this joy deep in her heart and tried her best to show her sadness and grief. Only in this way, everyone would believe that she was sad because of the emperor's disappearance.
What she didn't know was that this news was spread by Murong Zhan on purpose. The person she sent to Anhe City had already been replaced, and the news brought back was just what Murong Zhan wanted her to know.
The Empress Dowager summoned the cabinet ministers again, this time her attitude was much tougher, she just wanted the seals of the cabinet ministers to jointly support Murong Yihui as the new emperor.
"Empress Dowager, the emperor is just missing, not dead, how can a new emperor be established at this time?" Lu Shiming was the first to stand up and object.
"Aijia is also for the stability of Jin Kingdom. If the emperor comes back in the future, the little prince will naturally return the throne to him." The queen mother said sadly, "A country cannot be without a king for a day. You are the humerus of the country. Don't you understand? Does this make sense?"
Lu Shiming felt that the Empress Dowager was simply a wolfish ambition. If the emperor came back, she might not be able to tolerate the emperor living in this world. "Please forgive me for not agreeing."
The queen mother didn't even look at Lu Shiming. She knew that Lu Shiming would object. Anyway, Lu Yaoyao would not be able to come back. When Ah Yi became the emperor, she was slowly cleaning up the Lu family, "Lord Lu, the Ai family knows that the queen It is your daughter, and now she is missing like the emperor, and Aijia is very sad."
"The emperor won't get into trouble easily, he will definitely come back." Lu Shiming said.
"The news of the emperor's disappearance will soon spread, and the clan will know sooner or later, my lords, I believe you still remember what kind of life the people of Jin Kingdom lived when Mo Ronghui came to the throne, but it was only a few years ago That's all, aren't you afraid that the clan will push Mo Ronghui out again?" The queen mother asked in a deep voice.
If there is anyone in the clan with the most authentic bloodline, it is only Mo Ronghui.
Master Xu bowed his head and remained silent, Lu Shiming's face was full of anger, and everyone else looked at each other in blank dismay, and had to admit that the Queen Mother's words made sense.
"I obey the Queen Mother." Master Xu suddenly said in a low voice.
Lu Shiming looked at him in disbelief, "Master Xu?"
Master Xu nodded slightly to him, "Before the emperor comes back, this is the best way."
This is the only way for the queen mother not to take the opportunity to kill innocent people.
Lu Shiming didn't expect Master Xu to agree, he couldn't do anything alone, and he couldn't stop the Queen Mother's ambition at all.
"Very good." The queen mother smiled with satisfaction. This Master Xu is still knowledgeable about current affairs. He knows that there is no possibility of objection at this time. With his consent, it will be much easier later, "Master Xu, then you go to prepare The imperial decree, the little prince will ascend the throne soon."
Before the enthronement imperial decree was drawn up, Murongyi already knew about it, so he immediately came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, looking at the empress dowager with strange and chilling eyes.
"Ayi, what are you doing?" The Queen Mother asked him with a smile.
"The queen mother seems to be in a good mood." Murongyi lowered his eyes slightly, feeling bitter and disappointed in his heart.
The Queen Mother smiled, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I want to know when the queen mother will tell me the truth." Murong Yi asked in a low voice, "What happened to the emperor brother?"
"You know?" The queen mother frowned. Who dared to tell the little prince, she knew that this child worshiped the emperor brother, and it would be impossible for him to ascend the throne directly. She also planned to force him to wear a dragon robe at that time.
Murongyi smiled wryly and shook his head, "Is Brother Huang really missing?"
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face subsided, she nodded gently, "He fell off the cliff with Lu Lingzhi, Lu Yaoyao disappeared with him, there has been no news for several days, Anhe is dangerous, I'm afraid there will be no more came back."
won't be coming back...
Murongyi slowly raised his head and looked at the queen mother, "Queen mother, you are so calm about the life and death of the emperor's brother... Shouldn't you send more people to find the emperor's brother? The queen's sister-in-law still has his flesh and blood Do you really not care at all?"
The queen mother knew what Murongyi was questioning, she thought she could see her sadness, "Ayi, the Ai family has no time to grieve now, there are many confidantes of Ah Zhan in Anhe City, they have already gone to him, If there is any news, it will be sent back to Kyoto."
"And you can't wait to make me the new emperor, do you really want me to replace the emperor brother?" Murongyi asked sarcastically.
"Aijia is for the country of Jin, and also for your brother." The queen mother said confidently.
Murongyi smiled lightly, "Is it for the Kingdom of Jin to snatch the imperial throne? It's also for the imperial brother and the queen mother. Are you not guilty of saying such things?"
The queen mother was a little annoyed by his questioning, "What do you want to say? Isn't Aijia doing this for you?"
"You are for me, so where do you put the emperor? Are you not afraid that the emperor will be disappointed if he finds out? Are you not worried that the court ministers will be disappointed if they find out? Who do you think I am, coveting the emperor's throne, Is it something that is not as good as a pig or a dog?" Murongyi asked loudly, "That is my elder brother, my dear elder brother! He is also your own son, how can you treat him like this."
The queen mother was so angry at Murongyi's words, "If I don't do this, will I let Mo Ronghui ascend the throne in an open and aboveboard manner in the future? How will you, my mother and my son survive in this place?"
"Don't fool me with what you say to fool others." Murongyi said coldly, "Empress Mother, even if the emperor's brother is not here, the empress's sister-in-law still has his children, regardless of gender, I will make his children the masters of Jin Kingdom , I'm not your chess piece. I couldn't understand why you were able to let Brother Huang go to the barracks without worrying about it. How could you let him go to the battlefield at such a young age? Now I understand that you didn't regard Brother Huang as your child at all, maybe Brother Huang is really not your son."
The queen mother almost vomited blood from anger, "You...Nizi, you can say such a thing."
"Otherwise, how do you explain why you are so indifferent to Brother Huang? When you heard about Brother Huang's accident, the first thing you thought of was how to strengthen your position as Queen Mother. Have you ever cared about Brother Huang?" Murongyi asked.
"He has been disliked by your father since he was a child. He even fell out of favor with Aijia and you. He is born with evil spirits. Anyone who gets close to him will have bad luck. Aijia let him go to the battlefield for his own good. He is not mourning. He grew up next to his family, so it is inevitable that Ai's family will be... a little indifferent to him." The Empress Dowager's complexion turned pale, but her voice was unusually calm.
Murongyi said expressionlessly, "You shouldn't be indifferent to Brother Huang, but feel guilty."
