She can't get the imperial seal now, and the foolish people in this world need a reason to establish a crown prince, and the support of the ministers is one of the reasons!
She winked, and Zhang Boshan took a pen from the young eunuch and handed it to Lin Taifu, saying, "Master Taifu, let's start with you."
Master Lin gritted his teeth and vowed to never accept the offer. Zhang Boshan's eyes darkened and he pulled out a sharp blade and pressed it against his throat.
"Wait!!" At this moment, a powerful voice came from the door of the hall.
The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly. This person shouldn't be in this hall at this moment!
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and saw a tall man striding out of the palace with his head held high. It was none other than Prince Bao Li Che who was supposed to be at the border!
Prince Dun was horrified and stood up from his chair in a panic: "Why are you here!!!"
Li Che and Li Shen have been at odds since childhood. Although he was born in a humble family, he has his own pride. Unlike Li Shen, he is a coward who only knows how to hide behind the Queen Mother!
He saluted the Queen Mother, but Li Shen was so angry that he gnashed his teeth when he saw that she ignored him and treated him like nothing.
The Queen Mother was used to such situations and did not panic.
So what if Li Che is back?
Perhaps he had received an urgent message from Emperor Xuan Jing and was rushing back.
But in such a short time, is it possible for him to bring back 20,000 troops?
The Empress Dowager dug her nails into her palms, her eyes filled with surprise as she asked, "The Emperor is seriously ill. I, for the sake of the country, want to establish a crown prince for the Daqing Dynasty. Does Prince Bao want to stop me?"
Li Che suppressed the sneer in his heart and glanced at Zhang Boshan who was holding the blade against Master Lin.
After all, he has been baptized by the battlefield, which is different from Zhang Boshan who is just an empty shell.
Captivated by his gaze, Zhang Boshan's hand softened and the sword fell to the ground.
Master Lin hurried forward. The fear of facing life and death just now made his legs weak and he could not help but kneel on the ground.
"Prince Bao! The Queen Mother and Prince Dun are trying to trick the ministers into signing the imperial edict to establish the Crown Prince. I refuse, and they're forcing me with swords. This... this is clearly rebellion!"
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, raised her eyebrows, and slammed her hand on the table: "How outrageous!"
"I am doing this for the sake of our country and our people. How can I allow you to slander me? Come, drag Master Lin out!"
The Queen Mother was furious and her voice was high, but no one obeyed her order.
A hint of sarcasm escaped Li Che's throat. He first looked around the hall, pausing at the ministers who had clearly stood out. Then he retracted his gaze and looked up at the Queen Mother. "Your Majesty the Queen Mother keeps saying it's for the sake of the country. My Sixth Brother is still alive! You don't want to find a way to cure Sixth Brother's illness, but you're making a newborn a prince? It's unheard of!"
Hearing Li Che talking about his son like this, Prince Dun couldn't stand it. He stood up and pointed at Li Che with a gloomy look on his face: "What right do you have to speak so arrogantly here?!"
"Of course it's based on the emperor's decree." Li Che smiled when he heard that, and took out a light blue box from the servant behind him. After opening it, he saw brocade and gold satin, which was the imperial decree!
Li Che read out the decree calmly: If Emperor Xuan Jing has an acute illness, Prince Bao will be the regent!
Li Che then circulated the imperial edict among the ministers, and underneath it was the emperor's seal.
Prince Dun almost collapsed in his chair. He gritted his teeth. What did the emperor mean by this? He actually let Prince Bao govern the country!
Or, is Prince Bao also interested in this country?!
"In my opinion, the real rebel is Prince Bao! He even fabricated the imperial edict and deserves death!" The Queen Mother screamed, trying to make a final struggle.
"The authenticity of this imperial seal is under the scrutiny of the Left Prime Minister and Grand Tutor Lin." Prince Bao's expression straightened. "My duty is simply to prevent chaos in the court! And then to wait patiently for the Emperor to recover."
His eyes swept across Zhang Boshan fiercely: "If anyone has the intention of disobeying me, first ask whether the 20,000 soldiers behind me agree or not!"
Li Che mentioned the heavy hammer again, and the Queen Mother was shocked. How could the 20,000 troops come back in such a short time!
Seeing Prince Bao's confident look, the Queen Mother sneered, "The army is guarding the border, how can they return just like that? Are you trying to deceive us?"
Prince Bao smiled faintly, "Mother, if I had no soldiers behind me, how could I have gone to the meeting alone and entered the Golden Palace without any hindrance? My uncle's soldiers have surrounded the Golden Palace tightly."
He glanced at Zhang Boshan lightly, and sure enough, Zhang Boshan's expression instantly cracked. He and the empress dowager looked at each other, and both of them showed signs of dejection.
Li Che suddenly appeared and first took out the emperor's edict to supervise the country. With the emperor's jade seal, he was legitimate.
Not only that, he has 20,000 elite soldiers behind him. Even if they want to use force, it will be like an ant trying to shake a tree.
The Queen Mother's hands and feet were cold, and almost all her blood and essence had been drained away.
She is so close to success!
Li Yuan, Li Yuan! You are so clear in your calculations!
Or... the Queen Mother suddenly felt cold all over. The soldiers at the border were just lying. These 20,000 imperial guards didn't even go to the border!
_
The autumn of the eleventh year of Tianyuan can also be recorded in the annals of the Daqing Dynasty.
Emperor Xuanjing contracted smallpox, and the Empress Dowager sought to seize the opportunity to appoint Prince Dun's son, Li Yun, as Crown Prince. Prince Bao, however, managed to stabilize the situation and then entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation to pay his respects to Emperor Xuanjing.
Since then, Emperor Xuan Jing's condition gradually improved.
There are many different opinions. Some say that it was a secret medicine brought back by Prince Bao to treat smallpox, while others say that the emperor was able to escape danger because of the dragon's protection.
In short, the Queen Mother and Prince Dun's plans were completely shattered.
After Emperor Xuan Jing recovered from his illness, he did not spare the two of them.
The Queen Mother was imprisoned and Prince Dun was taken into custody.
Bai Susu's heart finally calmed down. She knew that Emperor Xuan Jing had won this war without the smoke of gunpowder.
At this time, Emperor Xuan Jing was looking down at the evidence secretly collected by Prince Bao about Li Shen's collusion with ministers.
His face was a little thin due to the "illness", but he was still handsome. In fact, because he was relaxed, there was a bit of comfort between his brows.
As if he had noticed something, he looked up and saw Bai Susu standing there with a slim and graceful figure.
Emperor Xuan Jing's face was as bright as spring water. He put down the letter in his hand and waved to Bai Susu: "Come here."
Bai Susu went over and was pulled into Emperor Xuan Jing's arms. He was very busy after he recovered from his "illness". Although he didn't have much time to take care of Bai Susu, he didn't let Bai Susu go back, so Bai Susu stayed in the Yangxin Palace.
Her soft body was hugged by Emperor Xuan Jing, and his lips fell on her eyebrows, cheeks and neck.
Bai Susu laughed out loud because of the slight tickle, then put her hand on Emperor Xuan Jing's chest and said, "Your Majesty, when will I return to Qixiang Palace?"
Emperor Xuan Jing frowned slightly, obviously he was used to Bai Susu's company in the Yangxin Palace, and for a moment he didn't want her to go back.
He bit Bai Susu's white and tender earlobe and said in a hoarse voice, "After the Yanfu Palace is repaired, you can go back and stay here with me for a while."
Bai Susu actually wanted to go back to Qixiang Palace. Apart from anything else, she was extremely tired recently and really wanted to go back and have a sleep.
But since the emperor doesn't agree, then this is all we can do.
Seeing Emperor Xuan Jing kissing her more deeply, his big hand had already reached into her bra...
