Xiruoxuan heard Xiao Tielong's call and quickly stood up and took Xiao Tielong's hand: "Father, my daughter is here, you have to take care of yourself!"
There was a smile on Xiao Tielong's face: "As long as you are here, Zhuzi, where is Zhuzi?"
Xiao Zhu hurriedly walked over from the side: "Father, my son is here."
Xiao Tielong held Xi Ruoxuan with his left hand and Xiao Zhu with his right hand: "Xiao Xuan! Zhu Zhu will be left to you. After I leave, Yunyan's country will be left to you. If Zhu Zhu can manage the country well, Just let him take over, if Zhuzi can't do it, just take over this Yunyan country!"
When Xi Ruoxuan heard this, he was horrified: "Father, why did you say this? My daughter would never dare, never dare!"
Xiao Tielong shook his head: "Don't refuse in a hurry. I know Zhuzi's character. He is too weak to bear this burden. Only you can help him. You must promise me, you must!"
"I promise, and my daughter promises everything. My daughter will support the pillars and take care of Yunyan's country." Xi Ruoxuan had already burst into tears when he said this.
When Xiao Tielong saw that Xiruoxuan agreed, he nodded with satisfaction. He said to the ministers: "Listen, after I leave, Xiao Zhu will be the emperor and Xiruoxuan will be the regent. All affairs of the court will be subject to them. Yes, do you understand?"
"I obey the order!" All the ministers knelt down one after another.
After Xiao Tielong heard this, he looked at Xi Ruoxuan and passed away peacefully.
The ministers, the queen, and the concubines burst into tears, and the room became a mess.
Xi Ruoxuan saw that this was not a problem. He immediately stood up and said: "Ministers, don't cry. My father has already gone. You should hurry up and make preparations. The country cannot live without a king for a day, so we should let Zhu Zhu ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
The queen wiped her tears and said: "Xiao Xuan, the emperor has just left. Can you please slow down the matter of enthroning the throne? Let's deal with the emperor's affairs first, and then talk about the matter of enthroning. What do you think, ministers?"
All the ministers nodded: "Your Majesty, you are holy."
Xiruo Xi Ruoxuan suddenly remembered a sentence, this queen is Xiao Zhi's biological mother, could she have an agenda
Xi Ruoxuan looked at the pillars, feeling slightly worried.
Xiao Tielong's queen was named Gu Yan. She gave birth to two sons, Xiao Yong and Xiao Zhi. Xiao Yong committed suicide after defeat, and Xiao Zhi became her only son. Xiao Zhu is the son of a concubine who was killed by Xiao Yong long ago. Xiao Zhu seems to be an orphan now.
Xi Ruoxuan suddenly remembered that when she came in, Xiao Zhi was also standing there. Who let him out? Was it Xiao Tielong? Xi Ruoxuan pulled Zhu Zhu aside and asked in a low voice: "Zhu Zhu, did your father make a decree to release Xiao Zhi?"
Zhuzi shook his head: "I have always stayed with my father, and I have never heard him give this decree."
Xiruoxuan felt a thump in his heart. It was indeed the Queen who was behind this. Since she dared to release Xiao Zhi, she must have an agenda. I must protect the safety of Zhuzi and never let them hurt my Zhuzi.
"Zhuzi, you are already the emperor. You should have the final say on matters here. You should quickly order the whole city to be under martial law and no troops are allowed to be mobilized."
Xiao Zhu looked at Xi Ruoxuan in embarrassment: "Sister, I dare not say it!"
"Zhuzi, what are you afraid of? You are the emperor. The emperor has supreme power. Only you can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the country. No one else can!"
"Sister, why don't you announce it! Didn't my father already declare you the regent? It's the same thing if you say so." Xiao Zhu said timidly.
Xi Ruoxuan looked at Zhu Zhu and felt unbearable, yes! He is still a child, and it is really difficult for him to be alone. So, Xi Ruoxuan said loudly: "Ministers, you have heard what Emperor Daxing said just now. Do you still admit that Xiao Zhu is the future emperor?"
All the ministers lowered their heads and looked at the queen, which meant to see what the queen said. Xiruo
The ministers then bowed their heads: "Of course we will comply with the order."
Xi Ruoxuan saw Yang Xibiao standing in the crowd at a glance. This man and Su Shaokai were die-hard brothers, and later he defected to Xiao Tielong and became a deputy general. Xi Ruoxuan ordered: "General Yang, listen to the order."
"The general is here!"
"In the name of the regent, I ask you to command the Yanjing troops and be responsible for the security of the palace."
Yang Xibiao couldn't believe it. He was just a deputy general. How big an official he was as the commander of the capital of Yanjing. He was in charge of the defense of Yanjing and the security of the palace.
"This, this, isn't Ma Yu the commander-in-chief of Yanjing? How dare the general..." Yang Xibiao said and looked at Ma Yu who was standing aside.
Ma Yu was a general in his forties. When he heard this, his face was full of displeasure: "Princess, what mistake did the general make that you want to remove me from my post?"
Xi Ruoxuan put his hands behind his back and took a few steps: "Of course General Ma did not make a mistake. This is a normal change of generals. General Ma can go to the Ministry of War. There is still a vacancy in the Ministry of War, and it is more suitable for you."
When Ma Yu saw Xi Ruoxuan say this, although she was angry, she couldn't get angry. He looked at the queen to see if the queen could protect him. Empress Gu looked at Xi Ruoxuan: "Xiao Xuan! The emperor has just left, and you can't wait to seize power. Are you too impatient? Zhu Zhu is already the emperor. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the Ai family will abolish Zhu Zhu? Create someone else?"
"Xiaoxuan doesn't dare. Xiaoxuan just strengthens the defense of the capital and has no other meaning."
"Capital defense? Then General Ma can't do it for a day or two anymore. Isn't he still qualified?" Queen Gu said, looking at Xi Ruoxuan sharply.
Xi Ruoxuan was really speechless. She hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Zhu Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said, "It's my intention to make General Yang the commander. Doesn't it count if I say it?"
The queen was dumbfounded now. He was now the emperor. Although he had not officially ascended the throne, his status as emperor had already been determined, and his words would naturally count.
Queen Gu changed her face: "Zhuzi, Mr. Ma has done a good job, why do you want to replace him? This is inappropriate!"
"Who says it's wrong? I'll change it when I say it. Do you want to rebel?" Zhuzi actually said such harsh words, which frightened the ministers to turn pale and fall to their knees.
Queen Gu turned around and smiled: "Zhu Zi is serious. Since you insist on changing it, then change it!"
Seeing that Queen Gu had agreed, Xi Ruoxuan immediately signaled to Yang Xibiao: "Okay! General Yang, go and check the palace guards and the capital's defense. You must not let the bad guys take advantage of it!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Xi Ruoxuan turned his attention to Sun Lengzhi, the Prime Minister of Zuo, and said: "Prime Minister Sun, you have to work hard to do the emperor's business. All etiquette must be thorough and there must be no mistakes."
"Old minister, I obey!" Sun Lengzhi bowed deeply to Xiruoxuan and then withdrew. Xi Ruoxuan waved his hand to the other courtiers: "You should also step down! If there is anything else, we will discuss it in court tomorrow morning."
"I obey the order!" the ministers said and walked out.
Xi Ruoxuan also saluted Queen Gu: "The Queen, oh no, it should be the Queen Mother. If there is nothing else, I will follow the emperor to the palace."
Queen Mother Gu waved her hand: "Go!"
Xiruoxuan pulled the pillar and turned around. When she was approaching the door, she suddenly saw Xiao Zhizheng looking at her maliciously. Xi Ruoxuan felt a chill in his heart. It seems that there is a huge crisis hidden in this transfer of the throne. I have to be extremely careful.
When they came to the palace, Xi Ruoxuan asked Su Shaokai to be responsible for guarding the palace, and all the guards under him were replaced by Yang Xibiao's former confidants. In this way, Xi Ruoxuan felt a little more at ease.
When it was time to light the lamp, the chief eunuch came in with a group of young eunuchs: "Princess, it's time for the emperor to have his meal."
Xi Ruoxuan nodded and motioned for him to take the things in. Soon a sumptuous meal was placed on the table.
"The servant invites the emperor to have a meal with the princess." The head eunuch said with a smile.
Xiao Zhu was probably very hungry, so he grabbed a chicken leg and ate it. Xiruoxuan stretched out his hand to stop him: "Zhuzhu, wait a minute, you have to follow the rules! You guys, come here and taste all the food on the table."
Xi Ruoxuan is also following the rules of the Dayou Dynasty. More importantly, I still don’t know what the Queen Mother is thinking. If she wants to make her son the emperor, the pillar will be dangerous, so I must be careful. Be careful.
Those little eunuchs did not dare to disobey and took a bite of the food as instructed by Xi Ruoxuan. Xi Ruoxuan saw that there was indeed no problem, so she sat down to eat with Zhu Zhu.
After dinner, the young eunuchs began to clear away the dishes, and the chief eunuch also came over to say goodbye with a smile: "Your Majesty, Princess, I'll take my leave first."
Xi Ruoxuan waved his hand: "Go!"
The chief eunuch took the young eunuchs away. Zhuzi's personal eunuch named He Ning walked up to Zhuzi with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you staying here tonight, or should you go back to your original place?"
Xiao Zhu looked at Xi Ruoxuan, asking for her opinion. Xi Ruoxuan thought for a while: "Let's stay here tonight! It's well guarded here and it's safer."
"But sister, I'm a little scared." Zhuzi may be used to living in the original place. This was originally Xiao Tielong's residence. Later, Xiao Tielong moved to another place, and this place became vacant.
Xi Ruoxuan touched Zhu Zhu's head: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, my sister will sleep with you tonight."
"Really? If my sister is with me, then Zhu Zhu won't be afraid." Xiao Zhu turned from worry to joy.
The little eunuchs immediately cleaned the room and put a brand new quilt on the bed. Some nimble little eunuchs have already begun to prepare bath water. Nights in the palace are relatively boring. Apart from bathing and sleeping, there is almost no other entertainment. Of course, if the emperor was in his prime, there would be many entertainment options, so I won’t describe them all here.
