First, the Queen Mother took the initiative to propose the Zen throne on behalf of her young son, and soon afterwards the young emperor fell seriously ill. Lian Qiu Yilan, her direct daughter-in-law, upon hearing the news, her first reaction was that her father-in-law had done something, let alone others
However, Queen Mother Xin, who was dragging her sick body to stay in front of Chu Shao's bed, knew it well: "It's not to blame Uncle Zhenbei, it's because the root cause of the fall into the lake on New Year's Eve has not been removed... The imperial doctor warned him at the beginning, but then the Queen Mother After the death of the late emperor, the palace was in chaos. In those few days, Shaoer seemed to have nothing to do with him. I ignored him because of my own bad health... "
It happened that she didn't go to escape the summer heat this year - it was sweltering in the capital, and Chu Shao had been spoiled since she was a child and couldn't stand the heat. Empress Dowager Xin moved to Ganli Palace, far away from Funing Palace. She herself was sick, firstly lacked energy, and secondly He was afraid that his son, who had just recovered from a serious illness, would suffer from a serious illness, so he was always entrusted to the care of the palace staff.
I thought that Chu Shao would be fine at least in front of the Zen position.
But I don't want Chu Shao to be greedy for cold, and he always stays in the cold room since the summer and refuses to go out. He had to put several ice mirrors on his bed every night - the palace officials were ordered to take good care of him. Although they knew that this was not good for his health, they refused to listen to the little emperor's advice and did not want to disturb the sick Queen Mother all the time. So they hesitated. , everyone has their own thoughts, in short, just follow his request.
As a result, the cold poison in Chu Shao's body was not removed at all, but it was temporarily cured. In the hot summer day and night, eating ice cream and using ice cream... An adult may not be safe and sound. How can he not get sick? This disease has brought out the root cause of the disease left behind when he fell into the lake on New Year's Eve. It can be said that he is trapped internally and externally. The child is weak in energy, and it is just coming menacingly!
Now looking at her hot son lying on the couch and moaning weakly, Queen Mother Xin's heart felt both fried and ice-cold, and she secretly thought: "My son's life has been extremely bumpy, and now there is not much time left before he can reach the Zen position. Can’t we just go through it peacefully?”
She sat in a daze all day. At night, the imperial doctor still could not relieve Chu Shao's fever. Suddenly she noticed someone patting her shoulder. The queen mother looked back blankly, but it was the Duke of E's wife. The mother and daughter looked at each other for a while, then the Queen Mother stood up, walked to the door with Mrs. E Guogong, and asked lightly: "When did mother come?"
"I've been here since noon, and you haven't been able to hear me when I'm talking to you." Mrs. E Guogong sniffed, used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered, "No matter how sick Shao'er is, in this situation, It's better to get the throne as soon as possible! Don't say I'm cruel. My biological grandson is lying there like that, but I still want to ask him to give up the throne... If he can survive this time, at least the new king will still remember his kindness in giving up the throne. , maybe you can be a wealthy and idle person in the future; if... you have to live a life, right? "
Queen Mother Xin was dumbfounded for a long time before she said, "My husband and mother-in-law are gone. If my son is gone, how can I live my life?"
"You are only in your twenties, you still have a long life, why can't you live longer?" Mrs. E Guogong choked up, "Your husband and mother-in-law are gone, and your son is not in a good condition now, but you still have your mother's family, right? You Where are your biological parents and brother? You are so young and have no interest in life, but what do you ask me and your father to do? "
He added, "Since you became the queen, your family has indeed done a lot of things to embarrass you because of your influence. They originally wanted to help you, but in the end they tricked you - but even so, you are my biological child after all. Why do you think that when the situation has reached this point, the family will not care about you? Shao'er really has no choice. Who said that he is the direct prince of the Chu family and is now the supreme prince? This is the end of Darui Fuzuo, and no one can save him. , but you...our family must be preserved no matter what!"
She spoke sincerely and burst into tears, but Queen Mother Xin only looked at it indifferently, and then said for a long time: "Since mother has an idea, let's do it. I went to accompany Shao'er first, and I don't know... My useless kiss Mom, how long can I stay with him?"
After saying that, he didn’t even look at Mrs. E Guo’s face. She turned around and entered the door. She slammed the door shut and said calmly, “Unless we find a way to reduce Shaoer’s fever, no one is allowed to disturb her!”
"Useless mother-in-law?" Mrs. E Guogong, who wanted to follow her, looked at the door just a finger away from the tip of her nose, smiled sadly, and murmured to herself, "You think it's useless for your mother-in-law to not be able to save her son?" It’s useless. My mother-in-law can’t help you keep your son and make your daughter heartbroken. Isn’t it useless?”
She stood for a while, then turned around resolutely and whispered to the people around her: "Go to the Duke's Mansion!"
According to what she had just privately interrogated the imperial doctor, Chu Shao would have a very hard time with this test. Even if he could pass it, it would only be after he had been recuperating on the bed for a long time - would Jiang Tianchi have that patience
But according to Jiang Tianchi's style of insisting on archways, he would never say anything urgent by himself. Rather than asking his confidants to torment him, it is better to give him a step by himself: "The Queen Mother said that Your Majesty is not blessed enough to accept the throne. No, fourth brother, you just declined the Zen position, and His Majesty fell ill? Now the situation is fierce. Brother, if you still don’t agree, I’m afraid your Majesty... Your Majesty won’t be able to survive it!”
"What Fifth Sister said, Your Majesty is the Nine-Five Supreme Being. He has the blessing of God. How could he not be able to survive even a minor illness? I will enter the palace to serve the decoction and make sure that His Majesty gets well as soon as possible!" Jiang Tianchi The refusal this time was completely expected by Mrs. E Guoguo. Counting the first refusal, this was only the second one - the person who had not built enough memorial arches would naturally not agree.
So she returned home and asked the Duke of E to come forward. She contacted several ministers and went to the Duke of Qin's mansion together. Under the banner of Queen Mother Xin, she requested: "Your Majesty is dying now. What you can't forget is Sheji and the Queen Mother. Is it possible for Uncle Zhenbei to see this?" Do you still have the heart to stand by and watch?"
Jiang Tianchi replied: "The Chu royal family is still here, what are your intentions in saying such things?! I, the Jiang family, have been serving the country wholeheartedly for decades... I am loyal and loyal... I have never been selfless... Guarding the border... I have risked my life... How can I take advantage of others like this? The most dangerous person!"
After listening patiently, Duke E and his party finally understood what he meant: "It's time for the clan to express its stance!"
Led by the King of Huainan, the attitude of the clan members was very clear: "The Queen Mother's order, Your Majesty's entrustment, all I can do is 'obey the order'!"
It's no wonder that the Chu clan has no moral integrity - those clans that had moral integrity, ideas and backbone were all eliminated when Empress Dowager Gu refused to return to power. By the time the second queen was fighting for power, the clan had been taught to be well-behaved and obedient by reality, and everyone was committed to developing into a backdrop for various situations.
Although the Jiang family is now deprived of even its royal status as a backdrop, how can anyone from the Chu family who is used to shrinking back in the face of power dare to stand up and oppose it? The late emperor's corpse is not yet cold, but the end of the coke is still in front of us!
I have declined three times, and the ministers and the clan have expressed their opinions. The point is that the little emperor is really not good enough. It is probably impossible for the emperor to go to Zen and make concessions without resorting to some extraordinary measures. In case of death, how can he help someone else? Can the emperor abdicate? How long will this go on!
Everyone who has been busy for most of the night feels that it is almost done this time, right
In the end, Jiang Tianchi still refused!
Even though everyone understood his feelings towards the memorial arch, whether it was the Duke of E or the King of Huainan, they still felt crazy when they heard this: Aren't you enough to put gold on your face? ! But even a layer of gold bricks can’t hide the fact that you are usurping the throne! Is it over yet? !
Jiang Tianchi simply refused and said, "In terms of qualifications, merit, prestige, and talent, how can I dare to compare with my father?"
... Could this be a hint that we should kill Duke Qin for you? !
A group of important ministers looked at each other in shock!
Seeing that something was wrong with their expressions, Jiang Tianchi had no choice but to express his purpose himself: "If the Queen Mother wants to entrust the country to the country, she should entrust it to my father. How can I take on this important task..."
No one listened to what he said after that. They all looked at him blankly and thought: "This... Is this trying to make Qin Guogong bear the notoriety of usurping the throne?!"
Although Jiang Tianchi is not the eldest son of Duke Qin - but Jiang Tianqi dares to compete with him now? ! Besides, it’s hard to say how long Qin Guogong can live. This is taking advantage of his old father to the fullest!
"In that case, can we ask to see the Duke?" Although he was as confused as his colleagues, Duke E still sighed secretly and asked after remembering his wife's advice.
Of course Jiang Tianchi would not stop him and stood up: "Everyone, please follow me!"
...Then Duke Guo of Qin also declined three times - fortunately, this man was fast and asked three questions and answered them three times. When he asked him for the fourth time what part of the common people's country he was in, he "reluctantly" agreed - Ben Everyone who thought he would be furious was relieved. The father and son had already discussed it, otherwise how could it go so smoothly
The father and son of the archway nodded, and the next thing was simple - whether it was psychologically or operationally, the preparations for the change of dynasty had already begun.
In view of the fact that the young emperor could die at any time, the complicated etiquette was cut to pieces under the drastic measures of Zhuang Mo, the Minister of Rites. Looking at the simple and quick abdication ceremony, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were frightened: "Is it too much?" Is it crude? Does it seem disrespectful to the new king?"
Although abdication is the most peaceful way to change dynasties, it is also a major event involving the country! Your ceremony is so simple that just a few passers-by can host it. Will the new king be happy? !
Zhuang Mo is Jiang Tianchi's brother-in-law. Mrs. Zhuang has always been respected by Jiang Tianchi. He has the support of his sister and is not very afraid of offending Jiang Tianchi, but other people in the Ministry of Rites may become the scapegoat!
"What do you know?" Zhuang Mo sneered, "After the abdication ceremony, there will be no ceremony for the new monarch to ascend the throne? Will it be more solemn by then? His Majesty's body and bones now... Even if the imperial doctor manages to make your Majesty stand up, he can It’ll be great if you can hold it all together!”
The smoothness and grandness of the abdication ceremony—anyone with a brain will understand that the former is the most important!
... Besides, it is not Jiang Tianchi who accepts the abdication this time, but the Duke of Qin, who has also been ill for a long time. The old man and the young man are all still sick. If the ceremony is not simplified, neither of them will be able to endure the lengthy ceremony. It’s called fatal!
Facts have proved that Zhuang Mo's judgment was very accurate. After the Empress Dowager and the Jiang family reviewed the procedures for the abdication ceremony, they both felt very satisfied: "Let the Qintian Supervisor calculate a lucky day!"
…What kind of auspicious day is it? Everyone in the government and the public knows that the little emperor is not lucky and will not live long. Even if the auspicious day is calculated ten days and a half later, he may not be able to wait! So the Qin Tian Prison spent half an hour talking about a bunch of words that laymen would definitely not understand, but even insiders could hear Yunshan Wurao, and concluded: "Tomorrow is a great day!"
