Meng Li sighed: "But I have been raised in a boudoir since I was a child, and then lived deep in the palace. Many things are unreasonable, and now I am left with only six gods and no master."
The Queen Mother was about to speak but Meng Li suddenly knelt down and begged:
"I thought that the late emperor was a sage, and my mother had been with him for many years. Under the influence of my ears and eyes, my mother knew a lot. Now the situation is urgent and someone needs to take charge of the overall situation. So I asked my mother to stand up and take charge of the overall situation. But I will definitely have to work hard for my mother." , I would like to thank my mother and queen on behalf of the emperor."
The Queen Mother sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, it's not that the Ai family has never thought of doing this, it's just that the Ai family can't do anything with this sick body!"
"Mother, please relax and don't worry too much. Your illness will gradually get better." Meng Li comforted.
The Queen Mother was simply so angry with the Emperor that her heart ailment was difficult to cure and she had to rely on herself.
The Queen Mother shook her head: "The Ai family is in danger."
How could she relax when the emperor was like this
Moreover, she is already old, and she is unable to do anything about government affairs. She is also worried that the previous government will have many opinions on this. I am afraid that at her age, she does not know how to take care of herself, but only knows how to seize power from her son. .
Don't want to be laughed at by the world.
Besides, one day when the emperor is sober and normal, if outsiders continue to whisper in his ears that he is trying to seize power, there must be a grudge between mother and son.
When she gets old, the Queen Mother just wants to stay in the harem safely without being feared or doubted by her son, and her old age will be unclean.
It would be better to let someone else do it. As for what the emperor would think of the person who temporarily replaced him, it would have nothing to do with her. She could only guarantee that in the emperor's heart, she never wanted to fight for anything.
"Queen, why not..." The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and said: "The Ai family is currently unable to do what it wants, and the affairs of the government cannot be delayed. Although you are inexperienced, you are also the empress of destiny. With the help of the Taifu, you can temporarily handle some affairs. I'm sorry. I believe that as long as you are here, Da Bian will be protected."
Furthermore, rather than saying that the courtiers would trust themselves, it would be better to say that they would trust this destined queen.
Besides, it was only temporary. She believed that the emperor could not continue like this. It didn't matter if the queen had some power temporarily. When the emperor regained consciousness, she could easily take it back.
In ancient times, there was no precedent for queens to handle government affairs.
"Mother, this is absolutely impossible. I don't know anything, and I can't bear such a big burden." Meng Li seemed to be frightened and said in panic.
The Queen Mother said: "The Aijia said you can do it, so you can do it. You will definitely bring auspiciousness. Perhaps Zhu Niao had already expected this day when he chose you."
"She expected today, so she chose you in advance to save everything."
"That Liu Meiren is probably the star of misfortune."
"After all, the emperor deserves this disaster, and you are the solution."
Meng Li looked panicked and didn't know what to say, so he just murmured: "Mother..."
"I don't understand..."
"The master will teach you."
At the Queen Mother's insistence, Meng Li reluctantly agreed. The Queen Mother said, "Thank you for the hard work."
"Putting the burden on your shoulders, the Ai family can't bear it."
Meng Li sighed, but his heart was very calm. Didn't she know what the Queen Mother was thinking
The Queen Mother was cautious when the late Emperor was around. She was cautious in everything and was not courageous enough, otherwise she would not be able to suppress Bian Cheng.
In the plot, even after she came, whenever Bian Cheng wanted to do something that didn't suit her, although she blocked him every time, it had no effect.
Even more so now, the Queen Mother wants to handle the memorials herself, but on the one hand, she is worried that she does not have enough energy and cannot bear it, and on the other hand, she is also worried about being said by outsiders.
Once a harem woman participates in government affairs, there will definitely be many different voices, and she doesn't want to be burdened with those rumors.
Therefore, I gave myself both the heavy responsibility and the gossip.
It is not that there is no one in the court, it just lacks a person who can make decisions. There are also many talented people in the royal family, but the Queen Mother dare not let them participate.
I am afraid that they have other thoughts, so it is better to give it to myself. I am the queen, they are a family, and I am the wife of the harem. I cannot make trouble in a short period of time.
She thinks that Bian Cheng's situation will end soon, but...
Will it really go as she wishes
After the matter was settled, the Queen Mother summoned several of the most important ministers in the court despite her illness, and said that the Queen Mother would temporarily take charge of the affairs of the court.
At first, they all disagreed. With the emperor's current appearance, the top priority was to persuade him, rather than directly find someone to replace him.
Isn't it obvious that the Queen Mother has also given up on him
But the Queen Mother said: "I went to the Ai family and made a bloody mess. You have been there countless times, can you see the emperor?"
"If they weren't forced to do so, how could the Ai family be willing to take this step?"
"But the queen..." There are many things that ministers would not be able to say in front of the queen.
It seems to be a joke to let women in the harem take power, especially since the emperor is now strong and strong. It is not that he does not have the ability to handle government affairs. The queen is contaminated, which is even more of a joke.
Meng Li was very quiet on the side and did not speak, but the Queen Mother said:
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the Queen is the Queen of Destiny and is protected by the Scarlet Bird. As long as she is here, the Scarlet Bird will also protect our court and bring us good luck. Nothing you are worried about will happen."
"And the Emperor really needs time, so we will give him some time. During this period, Ai Jia and the Queen will try their best to persuade the Emperor to cheer him up as soon as possible."
When the Queen of Destiny was mentioned, everyone was silent again. The Queen Mother said: "This year there was a great harvest in the south of the Yangtze River. The northwest has been drought for many days and the grains have not been harvested. However, good news came a few days ago, saying that finally nectar has fallen from the sky, and there is also a locust plague." Being able to control it, the Ai family feels that this is the auspiciousness brought by the queen."
When the Queen Mother said this, Meng Li actually laughed a little. Through the plot, she knew that these places would get better. When the Zhuniao incident happened, she also hoped to echo these things and make people feel that these were all the good things brought by the Queen. transport.
Some people have already said this among the people, and the Queen Mother also raised this matter to persuade them.
Sure enough, after the Queen Mother finished speaking, the Taifu took the lead to stand up and agreed to the matter.
As the emperor's assistant and teacher, he had a high status and was loved by others. Even the emperor was much more polite when meeting him.
But ever since Bian Cheng fell in love with Liu Meiren, Taifu had repeatedly advised Bian Cheng not to favor one person alone or to invest too much affection in him. A king should put the country first, but Bian Cheng was angry with him because of this matter. , and also said a lot of rude words, which made Taifu lose face and feel cold.
