At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 46
Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

Empress Dowager Sun's personal maid, Wan Zhen'er, held a bowl of rice porridge and a few dishes of side dishes, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Empress Dowager, just take a bite!"

Ever since she learned that the Emperor's army had gone deep into the grassland alone, the Empress Dowager Sun didn't think about tea or food every day, she just sat blankly and sighed.

In just a few days, the person has already lost a lot of weight. If this continues, he may fall ill.

"Let's put it down first!" Queen Mother Sun waved her hand and asked suddenly, "Zhen'er, how long have you been in the palace?"

Wan Zhen'er didn't know why, so she replied truthfully: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, it has been 15 years since the slaves entered the palace at the age of four!"

"It's been 15 years. You are the most familiar with the situation in the palace. Now that the emperor has not returned from the Northern Expedition, there have been many voices in the court. What do you think of this?"

Wan Zhen'er knelt down and said cautiously: "Your servant dare not speak nonsense!"

Empress Dowager Sun forced a smile on her face full of worries, and said, "There are no outsiders here, so if you have any thoughts, just say it, the Ai family will not blame you."

"Slave, slave..."

"Aijia needs someone to talk to. If you have any ideas, it's okay to say it!"

Wan Zhen'er knew that Queen Mother Sun's current situation was not optimistic. Over the years, she had observed her words and deeds in the harem, and she knew what Queen Mother Sun was thinking best.

Sometimes, for some things, it is inconvenient for the master to say, and it is necessary to rely on the mouth of others.

"My servant thinks that if you want to stabilize the situation, you must make a decisive decision and issue an edict to make the current prince the crown prince, so as to be the crown prince!"

Hearing these words, a gleam of light flashed in Empress Dowager Sun's eyes, which immediately became dim again.

"However, the imperial edict sent back by the emperor clearly states that it is the successor of King Yi."

"The emperor only said that King Yi will succeed to the throne, but he didn't say who the crown prince will be!" Wan Zhen'er calmed down and continued, "What's more, in the emperor's edict, it said if... if..."

For the second half of the sentence, even though she had a close relationship with Queen Mother Sun, she dared not say it.

Empress Dowager Sun was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Yu Qian, the left servant of Xuanbing Department, has entered the palace!"

The six yamen are located on both sides of the Qianbu Corridor outside the Daming Gate. Outside the east wall are the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Zongren Mansion, and the Qintian Supervisor. , Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple and other military yamen.

Yu Qian was on duty at the Yamen of the Ministry of War at this time, and immediately entered the palace in a hurry after receiving the summons.

"Chen Yuqian pays homage to the Empress Dowager, wishing her a thousand years and a long life!"

"Longevity without bounds?" Queen Mother Sun smiled wryly, and said, "Yu Qian, when did you learn to say these flattering words?"

Yu Qian raised his head and glanced. Although the Empress Dowager Sun looked calm, she couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.

Since the orthodox emperor's personal conquest, the Empress Dowager Sun has been frightened in the harem every day, and her mind is out of her mind.

Knowing that the emperor was trapped in the civil castle, he shed tears every day, and even secretly packed all the gold and silver in the harem for emergencies.

Finally, good news came from the front line, and the emperor personally led the army to break through the siege and fight all the way back to Badaling.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, news came from the front line again. The emperor led [-] cavalry into the desert, but there has been no news yet.

It's hard to imagine what kind of life the Empress Dowager Sun is living these days. He is the Empress Dowager, but also a mother. His son's life or death is uncertain, and the empty dragon chair has already been coveted by someone.

If something unexpected happens to the emperor, and according to the edict sent back from the front, King Yi succeeds to the throne, then everything about the orthodox emperor will be erased and then submerged in the long river of history.

The mother of Zhu Qiyu, the king of Ying, is Concubine Wu Xian. When she enters the harem, this queen mother will exist in name only.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian sighed secretly in his heart, and said: "It's not that I deliberately flatter you, it's just the current situation... I hope the Queen Mother will take good care of her body!"

Empress Dowager Sun said seriously: "Yu Qian, the late emperor treated you well, but now the emperor's army has gone deep into the desert alone, life and death are uncertain, you are in charge of the military department, why don't you send troops to respond?"

"The minister is terrified!" Yu Qian said truthfully, "The emperor personally conquered Wala and took away all the main force of the Beijing camp. If we send more troops, we can only mobilize troops from Shandong, Nanjing and other places. The mobilization of the army will not happen overnight. Moreover, Such a large-scale deployment of troops requires the cabinet to discuss with the ministers of the DPRK and China before making a decision, and the ministers dare not make rash decisions!"

"Don't you dare?" Empress Dowager Sun sneered, "When the emperor decided to take the imperial conquest, how could you dare to accuse the emperor in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty? In this world, there are things you dare not do, Yu Qian? "

Yu Qian immediately bent down and knelt down, and said: "I am the country and the country, and I will die!"

"Get up!" Queen Mother Sun waved her hand and said, "The Ai family didn't call you here to let you die. Now the emperor's army has gone deep into the desert alone, and his life and death are unknown. What are your plans?"

Yu Qian stood up and said, "I have no plans!"

"Then Aijia asks you another way!" The Empress Dowager Sun looked at him and said coldly: "Someone in the court proposed to change the new monarch, is it you?"

Pfft!
Yu Qian knelt down again, bowed his head and said: "Please let the queen mother learn from you, I have no second thoughts about the emperor!"

"Really not?"

"Absolutely not!"

"The emperor's decree made it clear that if you die in battle and order King Tan to succeed you, don't you plan to make some preparations in advance? This is the work of a dragon!"

"If the Empress Dowager doesn't trust me, I'm willing to die to prove my innocence!"

The Empress Dowager Sun's tone softened a little, and said: "The Ai family said, this time you are not called here to let you die, don't you want to prove your innocence? Well, now that the reserve is empty, the Ai family What do you think if you want to establish the prince as the crown prince and assume the position of the heir apparent?"

"Chen, minister..."

Yu Qian suddenly realized that he had been doing it for a long time, just for this matter?
If you want to establish a prince, tell me earlier, as for doing this?
"I think it is a wise move to establish a prince at this time to help stabilize the morale of the army!"

"Oh?"

Empress Dowager Sun was a little surprised. When the orthodox emperor marched in person, Yu Qian was the loudest voice of opposition. Now that the emperor has not returned, and rumors flowed out of the court, he thought it was this guy who was behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, he agreed so simply.

After thinking about it again, you can't be fooling yourself, right?
On the surface, he promised to establish the crown prince, but behind his back, he supported the crown prince. When the new king came to the throne one day, the crown prince's title could be abolished at will!

"You don't object?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence stunned Yu Qianwen.

"Chen...why do you object?"

Empress Dowager Sun said again: "The Ai family asks you, do you know who is spreading rumors in the court?"

"What the empress dowager said..." Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "About His Royal Highness King Tan?"

Empress Dowager Sun nodded with a straight face, but did not speak.

Yu Qian calmed down and said, "You can rest assured, Empress Dowager, these rumors will disappear within a few days."
