The medical concubine soars to the sky: the lord lightly pets

Chapter 349 Succession to the throne
His Majesty the Emperor passed away without leaving a will, so who will succeed to the throne seems to be the biggest problem facing the Li Kingdom right now.

Half and half of the officials, some supported Prince Du Qining, and some supported Qi King Du Yunlie, arguing endlessly for a while.

Nangong Yun just stood in the hall and listened quietly, neither expressing his opinion nor getting involved, and his heart was extremely calm.

Because she knew from the beginning to the end that Du Yunlie didn't care about the honor of the throne, so there was no need to argue about it.

On this point, she absolutely agrees with Du Yunlie's decision.

What's so good about being an emperor, how can it compare to the freedom of wandering in the rivers and lakes?

Now her biggest dream is to end the current chaotic situation. When the world is at peace, she can go to the mountains and rivers with brother lie, and be a pair of wild mandarin ducks in the rivers and lakes. How nice it is to be free.

The road ahead is so difficult, the only thing that can comfort her and support her to move forward is this dream.

She didn't even dare to think, if Du Yunlie really became the emperor, how would she deal with herself, becoming his queen?
No, that's not the life she wants.

She Nangong Yun must not be trapped in this deep palace for the rest of her life, guarding Du Yunlie's grace to live, and it is even more impossible for her to allow him to accept other concubines and share him with other women. Swear, she will leave him.

She can't leave him, so Du Yunlie must never be the emperor, absolutely not.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived...the Concubine Shu has arrived...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived..." The chief eunuch's announcement quieted the noisy hall.

All the officials retreated to the two sides one after another, making way for the middle road. Concubine Shu Ning supported the Queen Mother and walked slowly. Prince Qi Ning followed behind them, his steps were steady, his young face was quite majestic, and his appearance was dignified. Show the demeanor of the prince.

"A thousand years for the Empress Dowager, a thousand years for the Concubine Shu, a thousand years for the Crown Prince..."

All the officials knelt down and saluted.

Nangong Die and Nangong Yun in the hall also went forward to greet her and knelt down to say hello: "The concubine pays respects to the queen mother."

"Get up." The queen mother glanced at them, ordered lightly, and then stretched out a hand towards them. The queen and Nangong Yun hurriedly reached out to help them, and the queen mother held Nangong Yun's hand very obviously, and let the queen hang out. on the side.

The queen's face turned cold, and she secretly cursed that this dead old woman must have deliberately embarrassed her in public, hmph, she won't be arrogant for long.

Concubine Shu has always been gentle and calm, because the emperor has just passed away and is still in mourning, compared to the empress's still luxurious and glamorous attire, Concubine Shu's clean white clothes and plain makeup look much more solemn, and there is still some sadness between her brows , the eyes are also swollen.

Whether it is really sad or not, but Concubine Shu's appearance successfully awakened the consciousness of all officials.

The emperor had just passed away, so instead of mourning, they were busy seeking their own benefits here, which was really wrong.

For a moment, the atmosphere that had been tense just now suddenly fell silent, and the air was filled with a touch of sadness.

Concubine Shu walked up to the queen and blessed her, "The concubine greets the queen", her voice was a little hoarse, which made people feel pity.

The queen's cold eyes swept over her body coldly, her face remained unchanged, and she snorted coldly in her heart, "Who is it for someone to dress up like this, hypocritical, as if she is so sad, disgusting, hypocritical... "

The queen mother has just experienced the pain of a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man. There are vicissitudes and exhaustion between her brows, and a few strands of silver have been added to her white hair at the temples. Stinging, subconsciously frowned.

"Everyone loves you, Ai's family heard that it is very lively here, so they came to have a look, why, what are you talking about, can you also tell Ai's family?" The queen mother tried her best to put on a kind and gentle look, but everyone still I could hear the anger in her tone.

My son's bones are still not cold, you are making trouble here, what are you making troubles, there is no one in the royal family who bullies me, right?
At this moment, in the face of the majestic Queen Mother, of course, everyone dared not mention such nonsense as "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics".

All the officials looked at each other and bowed their heads in silence. At such an embarrassing moment, only respected old guys like Qi Guogong and Ning Guogong came out to sell their elders and break the silence.

Ning Guogong coughed lightly, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Queen Mother, it's like this. Your Majesty didn't leave any will before leaving. The country cannot live without a king. You see..."

The queen mother said "oh", "Aijia understands, all the ministers are discussing who will succeed the new emperor, right?"

"The empress dowager is wise." All the officials responded in unison.

"But what's there to discuss?" The queen mother spread her hands, expressing her doubts: "Although the emperor didn't leave any will, he established a prince earlier. Father dies, son succeeds as it should. The throne, Naturally, it should be inherited by Crown Prince Qi Ning."

The queen mother expressed her attitude without hesitation, which was beyond the expectations of all officials.

In fact, whether it is Prince Qi Ning or King Qi Du Yunlie succeeding to the throne, it is the same to the Queen Mother, and it doesn't matter to her.

On one side is the grandson she brought up, and on the other side is the son she raised since childhood, with fleshy palms and backs.

But it is different for civil and military officials. Once the emperor dies, the original power in the court will inevitably be re-divided.

I'm not afraid of anything else, but there are many officials below who have accidentally offended Lord Qi, or had conflicts with Lord Qi because of certain things, and King Qi Du Yunlie is a noble and upright person, so being a prince is fine, they can still go around He left, but once he became emperor, his official career would probably be lost.

In this case, it is better to support the crown prince Qi Ning to succeed to the throne. After all, he is young, so it is better to control and fool a little bit.

So as soon as the queen mother said this, the ministers who supported the prince's ascension immediately echoed, "The queen mother is holy."

The ministers who supported Lord Qi immediately expressed embarrassment, and said: "But the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young after all, and I am afraid that he does not have enough experience and experience. The current situation is turbulent, and I am afraid it will be difficult for him to be a great leader!"

The queen mother waved her hand and said, "Hey, no one is born an emperor. When the first emperor ascended the throne, he was only two or three years older than Qi Ning. Besides, you look down on Ai's grandson too much. Qi Ning These years, he has practiced very well with his father and uncle. During this period of time when he was in charge, didn't there be any troubles? Besides, you also said that a country cannot live without a king, and right now Lie'er is still fighting on the front line. We don't know when the war will end, so can't we wait until he comes back?"

"This..." All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay. The Empress Dowager's remark was so decisive that it was basically a conclusion. How could they refute?

After thinking for a while, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice stepped forward and said: "I still think it's best to wait until His Royal Highness King Qi comes back and listen to his thoughts. If he also supports the crown prince's succession to the throne, then I have no objection."

The queen mother said: "Why wait until he comes back in person, there is someone who can make decisions for him right now, Wangfei, what's your opinion?"

The hot potato in the queen mother's hand was suddenly thrown to Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun was a little astonished, and turned to look at the queen mother, "Mother queen..."

The queen mother smiled gently: "Lie'er's token is still in your hands, does that mean that now you are him, everything you say and your attitude can represent King Qi, doesn't it?"
