For Huang

A country cannot live without a ruler for a day.

However, Gong Qing was in no hurry.

After Su Yunzhi forged the imperial decree, no matter who sat on the throne, Gong Qing was already invincible.The six princes are all milk dolls. Except for the eldest prince who has already started receiving enlightenment education, the rest have not even started to read.Therefore, in Gong Qing's eyes, there was no difference between these children.Oh, there is still a difference, because of Su Yunzhi's relationship, Gong Qing naturally has a high regard for the eldest prince.

Therefore, Gong Qing can calmly invite all the old princes, clan orders and cabinet ministers into the palace, and let everyone have a friendly discussion on the candidate for the new emperor.She couldn't pretend to be harmless like Su Yunzhi, but she used another way to show that she was harmless.She seems to be very disciplined.Following the ancestral precepts, the etiquette, and the worldly law, she never made a mistake in saying a word, and never took a wrong step.

Such a mistress is the most admired mistress in the world.

The social status of women at this time is very low. Whether they are daughters or daughters-in-law, they have a lot of rules to follow.However, once they boiled their husbands to death, as long as they were not the kind of people who couldn't help themselves, their backs seemed to straighten up all of a sudden, from a "submissive person" to a "power holder".This is true whether it is the royal family, aristocratic family, or ordinary people in the countryside.

Princess Taiping wanted to follow the example of Emperor Zetian, Wu Zetian succeeded, but she failed.Why?Because the situation has changed, because the opponents they have to face have different abilities, because Princess Taiping's political methods are not as good as Wu Zetian's, and because Wu Zetian is the "daughter-in-law" of the Li family, and Princess Taiping is the "wife" of the Li family. Daughter", men can tolerate "the mistress is the head of the house", but they can't tolerate daughters in the first place.

Therefore, the self-proclaimed "Aijia" is actually quite wonderful.

Gong Qing sat upright.Because of filial piety, the hairpin on her head was replaced with a simple and elegant white jade hairpin, with a small pendant hanging from it, the pendant is light and delicate, as long as there is a breeze, it can immediately move lively and non-stop.However, at this moment the pendant remained motionless.

This is enough to prove Gong Qing's determination.Her every move seemed to be measured with a ruler.

Since ancient times, when the crown prince was selected, the final result was nothing more than the establishment of a heir, an elder, a virtuous, and a love.Although the new emperor is being selected at this time, considering that the current situation is too special, it is actually similar to the selection of the crown prince.Therefore, there are only a few conditions for reference.

Di, no.Emperor Qianqing's will was to choose a son-in-law, but the biggest problem now is that there is no son-in-law.

Xian, these milk dolls are not old enough to meet foreign ministers, who knows which of them is more virtuous!

Love, no, Emperor Qianqing didn't show any preference for any son when he was alive, and Gong Qing couldn't take her own preferences as an issue at this time, after all, she wanted to show her selfless side.Moreover, in fact, she really has no preference for the princes.

So, after all the calculations, it seems that there is only one word "long" left.

In fact, if Gong Qing were to choose the prince, in order to prove that she had no selfishness, she could only use the eldest prince as an example.Otherwise, no matter who she mentioned, it would be regarded by interested people that she had reached some kind of agreement with the biological mothers or adoptive mothers of those princes.

At this time, Gong Qing still has to be careful, because she still holds too little authority.

So Gong Qing said lightly: "What I mean by this palace is that it is better to adopt the eldest prince to be under my knees. He is older, after all, he is more sensible, and he will be able to take on important responsibilities as soon as possible in the future, and he can take good care of the next few people." Brother, what do you adults think?" Because Emperor Qianqing has not been officially buried at this time, and his posthumous name and temple name have not yet been established, so Gong Qing still calls himself "My Palace" at this time, not "Aijia ".

That's a good proposition indeed.The qualifications of the several princes are similar, and the eldest prince was chosen, at least because he is the "big" prince, which is also conducive to the stability of the court.Otherwise, if the third prince is chosen, the second and fourth princes will have opinions in the future. Why can he be the emperor while everyone else has the same conditions, but not the others?At that time, if there are villains instigating among them, it will be easy for brothers to fight against each other!

It's just that the eldest prince is raised under the knees of Concubine Shu. Considering the relationship between the empress and concubine Shu, some people who think they are smart are suddenly a little confused about what the empress means. Her words really represent Is what she thinks in her heart, or is it just talking on the surface?

Listen to the sound.They had to figure out the queen's true intentions before they could slowly round up this topic.

Several old princes whispered to each other, one person said something, and the rest repeatedly said yes.Gong tilted his head slightly, and gave them a little attention very politely, as if he was waiting for one of them to stand up and answer.But her heart was silently counting down.

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

An old prince stood up from his seat, and the others gradually stopped discussing.

Four, three, two, one...

Before the old prince could say anything, the door of Yanchun Pavilion was knocked open.

Tai Yuanjia walked in from the outside, only hurriedly saluted, and then told everyone an unexpected news!In front of Emperor Daxing's coffin, Concubine Shu led the eldest prince to kowtow just now, and the eldest prince swore an oath on Emperor Daxing's coffin, saying "willing to be a virtuous king".

"Nonsense! This is simply nonsense!" The old princes couldn't control their temper in front of the queen.

What can the First Prince know at this age?Concubine Shu must have instigated him to make such an oath!And why did Concubine Shu do this?She was just afraid that the empress would take away her adopted son and make her completely lose her backing. If the empress were more cruel, she might directly kill her, who had raised the eldest prince for two years.She was afraid, so she led the eldest prince to swear such an oath, eliminating the possibility of the empress adopting the eldest prince.

An oath made by a prince in front of the coffin of the Daxing emperor, or an oath sworn by a son in his father's mourning hall, is absolutely impossible to break.When things have come to this point, if the ministers and clan members still insist on letting the empress adopt the eldest prince as the first son, and insist on letting the eldest prince ascend the throne as emperor according to the will, then the eldest prince will be trapped in injustice and unfilial piety.Just ask, how can an unrighteous and unfilial person be worthy of the position of emperor?

The eldest prince can only be a "virtuous king" in his life!

The adults in the Yanchun Pavilion did not have a good impression of Concubine Shu, and at this moment it fell to the bottom.They were angry at Concubine Shu's selfishness and short-sightedness, look what she has done!In order to control the eldest prince by her side, she did not care about the safety of the entire court.

This is simply a demon concubine!

Tai Yuanjia lowered his head and sighed inwardly.He didn't want to believe that Concubine Shu was such a short-sighted person, so he felt that Concubine Shu had reasons for doing so.There were rumors in the palace that Concubine Shu didn't like the eldest prince at all.But he clearly saw the tenderness hidden in Concubine Shu's eyes.

Gong Qing glanced at Tai Yuanjia thoughtfully.

The news brought by Tai Yuanjia plunged Yanchun Pavilion into chaos. Originally, they could quickly determine the candidate for the new emperor, but now they had to think long-term.Gong Qing got up slowly, still calm and calm, and said: "Let's come here first today. The third prince was suspected of being infected with smallpox not long ago. If he can survive this calamity, he will be blessed. Of course, in the end, it still depends on the wishes of the adults."

After finishing speaking, Gong Qing walked out of Yanchun Pavilion.

She walked steadily, step by step.

The empress still remembered that on the second day after she entered the palace, she walked from Zhaoyang Hall to Qinzheng Hall to accompany her, and saw the eaves of Yanchun Pavilion from afar.At that time, she knew that she would be able to come here one day.And now, she is standing here.Everything here will belong to her.

Oh no, everything here will belong to her and her.

A faint smile appeared on Gong Qing's face.But soon, that little smile disappeared from her eyes.She turned her head to look at Tai Yuanjia who walked out of Yanchun Pavilion after her, and said: "In such a troubled time, I will have to trouble you to continue worrying about the affairs of the palace."

Tai Yuanjia bowed his head in response.The prince needs to pay more attention to it, and now it really can't stand the toss.

Gong Qing was silent for a while, and then said: "Concubine Shu... I think she has misunderstood me a lot, and I have a headache because of this."

Tai Yuanjia felt that the queen definitely didn't care how Concubine Shu thought of her, but what she cared about was the thoughts of the ministers.However, Tai Yuanjia has always hoped that Concubine Shu will be well. When he saw the queen asking this question, he rarely presumptuously said: "If the empress can talk to concubine Shu, concubine Shu must be able to understand the bodhisattva of empress. Heart." His words were nominally a compliment, but they were actually a reminder.

Gong Qing smiled lightly, but the depths of her eyes slowly condensed with frost.

Tai Yuanjia lowered his head, so he couldn't see the expression on Gong Qing's face clearly. He only heard the empress's soft voice that seemed to be smiling and said: "You are right, I really should find Concubine Shu to take care of you." Let me tell you. She and I are sisters, so we naturally want to love each other."

The main wife said that she and the concubine are sisters, which is a compliment from the main wife to the concubine.

Tai Yuanjia breathed a sigh of relief.Since the Empress has said so, Concubine Shu is safe for the time being, right?

Gong Qing didn't stop after saying this sentence.Hehe, it's time for her to find Su Yunzhi, whom everyone loves, to meet, kiss, meet, and love.
