The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 146 Emperor's Heir ([-])

Today's royal clan is mainly divided into three branches.

Zongzheng of the royal family, Luoshuibo, nicknamed Pingbo, is the concubine brother of Emperor Chu, and his mother comes from the Weishui royal family. He is in charge of the Zongzheng Temple and handles the royal family's internal affairs.

Uncle of the royal family, Luoshui Shen, nicknamed Di Shen, is the parent of Emperor Chu, and his mother comes from Weishui and the Wen family, and manages the royal family's sacrifices.

King of Tangshan, Luoshui Tuan, taboo name Tuan.It is the ancestor of Emperor Chu, who enfeoffed Tangshan, and his mother's family came from the Yunhe family in Weishui.

Although these three branches are descendants of the Luoshui family, they are also the blood of Weishui.Only half of Luoshui people.Unless there is a rebellion, it is absolutely impossible to become emperor.Even if they rebelled and seized the throne, it would be difficult for them to gain the support and approval of the Luoshui subjects.If it doesn't work out, it will lead to riots among the people.

Because the three major clans in Luoshui, Shenshan, Niechuan, and Cangyu are all orthodox direct lineages, in terms of aptitude, they are more qualified to ascend to the throne than their impure lineages.

Nie Chuanzhen said: "Although your majesty is a woman, she is the orthodox blood of my Luoshui direct lineage. The right minister helped to establish a side branch of the clan. Isn't it intentional to confuse the royal blood? I don't know what the right minister's intention is?"

Cang Yubo sneered and said, "Why do you need to support the relatives of the offspring? Although the first emperor died, he left an emperor's heir. The concubine Shu is pregnant. Although she is not in labor, she is the legitimate blood of the first emperor. If you want to inherit the throne, According to the royal etiquette, the fetus in the womb of Concubine Shu is the first."

"Oh?" Chang Wei smiled and said, "I don't know where Concubine Shu is now?"

Cangyu Bo immediately said: "At that time there was great chaos in the palace, my brother Cang Yuwei escorted Concubine Shu to the Cangyu Mansion in order to protect the emperor's heir. With my brother taking care of her, Concubine Shu and the emperor's heir in her belly were safe and sound."

Cang Yuwei and Cang Yubo each bet on their treasures in this chaos of seizing the heirloom.They also left back moves to contain the opponent, but they didn't expect Chang'an to come out horizontally.

The two brothers have always been at odds, but at this time they joined hands to prevent Chang'an from ascending the throne.

Nie Chuanzhen said: "Although Concubine Shu is pregnant, it is not known whether the fetus in the womb is male or female, and whether it will live or die is even more unpredictable. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Is it possible that the government will be abandoned? Wait a while. The child was born to manage politics? The Empress Dowager personally passed on the imperial seal to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of Luoshui. Prime Minister You just opposed His Majesty's ascension to the throne because His Majesty is a woman. In fact, I have to ask Prime Minister Right, what is the law of Luoshui? Established a law that women are not allowed to participate in politics, and emperors are not allowed to be called emperor?"

Nie Chuan Rundao: "Weishui and Luoshui come from the same vein. In the past, the empress of Weishui ascended the throne and ruled the world. Why can't I have an empress in Luoshui?"

All the ministers of Shen Shan and Nie Chuan nodded in agreement.

Cangyu said impassionedly: "In the past, the empress of Weishui ascended the throne, licentious and immoral, and practiced tyranny, which led to chaos in the government and the people's livelihood. The suzerain of the Zuntian League personally held the emperor's sword and went down the mountain to force the empress of Weishui to abdicate to the virtuous. With such a lesson from the past, how can we return the throne? Let a woman proclaim the emperor and face the court? I, Cang Yubo, risked my life to keep Luoshui safe."

He spoke generously, and all the ministers of the Cangyu Clan and the officials of the Han Clan responded one after another.

Shen Shanze stood at the head of the Shen Shan family's ministers, and immediately said after hearing the words: "The empress of Weishui is like this, and the right minister dares to say that my majesty, the empress of Luoshui, is also like this? There are countless emperors who have practiced tyranny all the time. It is a man, according to the words of the right minister, how can a male heir ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?"

Shen Shanzhi also said: "Although the first emperor left heirs, but the concubine Shu is from the Yangtu clan, even if she will give birth to a prince in the future, she will not be of the orthodox blood of the Shui clan. Whether she can inherit the great lineage is probably still open to debate."

When the ministers heard the words, they all started talking.These are all true.

The eldest son of Jin Ge Mansion, Jin Geliu, kept looking at Cang Yubo's face, and didn't pay attention to what other people were saying, so he said a little too late: "The concubine Shu is not yet in labor, and the important affairs of the court should not be neglected, according to my opinion." , it should be allowed for the Queen Mother to manage the affairs of state with the left and right until the birth of the prince..."

"Jin Geliu." Nie Chuanzhen interrupted in a cold voice, "If your ears are not clear, then open your eyes and look carefully. Before you is the Empress of Luoshui."

It was Jin Geliu who was reprimanded by Nie Chuanzhen, but the words were not just for him.She was reminding everyone that although Chang Ji had not ascended the throne yet, she held the Imperial Seal handed down by the Empress Dowager in one hand, and the military power of Shen Shan Mansion in the other.

Right now, Lidu is under the control of Shenshan Mansion, and the border of Luoshui is also guarded by the soldiers of Shenshan Mansion.There is also Nie Chuan's help in the court.

No matter in name or in terms of strength, the throne of Luoshui is already in Chang's pocket.If there is no absolute certainty that Chang Bi will abdicate, whoever dares to stand out at this time and openly disobey the emperor will be tantamount to digging his own grave.

Nie Chuanzhen continued: "As ministers and workers, we only assist His Majesty in governing the country. According to what you just said, you want to leave the emperor aside, and the ministers are good at governing? Such rebellious words, you Jin Ge Dare to say it?"

Jin Geliu immediately knelt down, not daring to say another word.Among the ministers, there were not a few people who had the same idea as Jin Geliu, and they didn't dare to speak out at this time.

Chang Wei said with a smile: "Everyone, get up."

All the ministers got up according to the words, and the officials of the Cangyu Clan also got up, but seeing that Cangyu Bo was still kneeling on the ground, those who hadn't got up hesitated to move.Those who have already stood up knelt back for fear of offending the Changsha Road, and stood still for fear of going against Cang Yubo's will, so it's not right to kneel for a while, and it's not good not to kneel, it's really embarrassing.

Cangyu said thinly: "My colleagues are officials in the court, and they are all devoted to the country and the people. Luoshui has never had a female emperor. A woman in power will definitely bring disaster. At this time, Luoshui is about to leave Weishui. The old road, you are unwilling to say a word. When the country is in turmoil and the people are suffering, you will really be ashamed of the ancestors of Luoshui and the people of the world. For the foundation of Luoshui for thousands of years, and for the safety of the people of Luoshui, all lords kneel together with me Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohe puts the overall interests of the family and the country in the first place, so she returned the Imperial Seal and retreated to give way."

He is ups and downs, throwing a voice.It is really admirable to hold high the righteousness of the family and the country.Among the officials of the Han clan, there were quite a few hot-blooded youths, who were filled with righteous indignation when they heard the words, and were ready to kneel down to meet Cang Yubo.

Xi Pu, head of the Kanmu Clan, grabbed the young man of the Han Clan beside him, and persuaded in a low voice, "You are the right minister of the Cangyu Clan? Your Majesty the Empress can't do anything to him for a while, and you can't do anything to him? Don't be used as a knife. I still feel that I deserve to die.”

The young man was quick-witted, and he hurriedly bowed his head and stood up after thinking about it.He is a senior official of the Han clan, seeing him not moving, the officials of the Han clan on the left and right did not dare to move either.Only Cang Yu's officials who were still kneeling on the ground echoed and shouted a few times.

Chang Ji laughed, and said in a calm manner: "My lords, that day I led all the soldiers of the Shenshan Mansion into the Tai'an Palace to rescue the king. Personally gave me a uniform, and personally passed on the national seal to me. The right minister said that the national seal was only entrusted to me by the empress dowager for temporary preservation. At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am forced to abdicate the national seal. It is the following crime. Right Prime Minister, I miss your heart of worrying about the country and the people, and I can't bear to blame you. This time, you will not be punished for your crime."

Cang Yubo was still about to speak, she turned around with a flick of her sleeves and said, "I was ordered by the Empress Dowager to succeed to the throne, Xiangruo You still has doubts in her heart, you can go to Jiucheng Palace to ask for an order, if the Empress Dowager orders to explain the kingdom in my hands The imperial seal was not passed on to me, so I immediately handed over the imperial seal."

Having reached this point, all the ministers nodded in agreement.Cangyu Bo didn't say much, and immediately got up and went to Jiucheng Palace.
