The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

Chapter 245
Liu Shu went directly to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

There were only two people left in the queen mother's hall, and the queen mother frowned and looked over.

"You entered the palace today, what are you talking about?"

Before Liu Shu could speak, the Empress Dowager said disapprovingly: "Now that your father is dead, how many eyes are staring at the Liu family? How come you come to the palace openly at this time? Are you afraid that there will be fewer eyes staring at you?"

Liu Shu's expression was indifferent, and he completely ignored what the queen mother said, and said: "Your Majesty, among the emperors, King Jiu'an is not in the capital, and most of the royal family of the Li family are cowardly and incompetent people. The situation is of great benefit to you, how can you only think about the things in front of you?"

The queen mother's eyes changed suddenly, and she looked at Liu Shu sharply.

"what's your plan?"

Liu Shu calmly said: "In the current situation, it is reasonable to invite the Queen Mother to supervise the country."

"Supervisory country?"

The Queen Mother frowned.

Liu Shu reminded: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager still wants all the power to fall into the hands of others in the current situation? If the Emperor does not come back, it should be the Empress Dowager who chooses the next emperor instead of letting the courtiers mess around."

As soon as the words came out, the Queen Mother immediately understood.

She knew the news of the emperor's disappearance.

She also knew about King Jiu'an leaving the capital to escort supplies.

But before the emperor left, the court also made a lot of arrangements, plus what happened before, so she was hesitating whether to intervene in the court affairs at this time, or in what way to take over.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Shu came directly to the palace.

She seemed to be enlightened, suddenly cheerful!
The emperor and King Jiu'an are not here. As the queen mother, how can she stand by and watch?
Going to court, listening to politics behind the curtain, and helping the community is what she should do.

As soon as the matter was figured out, the queen mother immediately smiled, and looked at Liu Shu with a little more appreciation.

"You are young, but you are extremely thoughtful in thinking about things, and you are a little more flexible than your father."

Liu Shu bowed his head slightly, and said modestly: "The queen mother is absurd, I only plan for the queen mother."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Okay, Ai's family knows about this matter, tomorrow Ai's family will come to the court to listen to the government, and you are ready, there should be an official position."

"Thank you Queen Mother."

"It's just..." The Empress Dowager's expression suddenly turned solemn again, and she waved her hand to signal Liu Shu not to be too polite. She asked worriedly, "The sudden disappearance of the emperor is not something we did. Is there something strange about it? This is bait..."

Liu Shu's eyes flashed, and he said firmly: "Your Majesty, no matter why the emperor disappeared, this matter has become a fact, and it has been several days. It is only natural for you to listen to the government. Even if the emperor returns, can you still be punished for this matter?" No?"

Liu Shu continued: "Besides, the matter has come to this point, no matter how difficult the emperor is, the return journey must be difficult."

The queen mother also understood the implication.

"Things have to be done."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother."

After Liu Shu left, the Empress Dowager immediately asked Eunuch Zhang to come in and give some instructions, and also asked people to prepare the clothes and other matters.

After calming down, the queen mother rubbed her eyebrows.

Now that the emperor is missing, although she can listen to the government behind the curtain for a while, the news of the emperor will always come back. When the time comes, who should be supported to sit on the throne?
The emperor has no children, so choose the youngest in the clan?
But for a while, I couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

After much deliberation, the queen mother had no choice but to put this matter aside.

The next day, all the ministers were sent to the court, and Prime Minister Fu was among them, and there were a few good officials beside him. Seeing the curtain drawn down in front of the dragon chair, one of them said in a low voice: "Look at this My son, it should be the queen mother who wants to listen to the government behind the curtain."

"But didn't the queen mother make any movement a few days ago? And the queen mother has been cultivating all the time, this..."

"Before the emperor left, he told me to wait for our duties, and to report to the King of Jiu'an and the prime minister if something happened, but now the Queen Mother has come like this..."

Several people around were guessing, but no one spoke loudly.

There were also many people around who showed puzzled expressions.

Fu Chengxiang looked at the rehanging curtain with a serious expression, feeling uneasy in his heart.

When the emperor was young, how many years had this curtain not been removed?
After the emperor got married as an adult, the empress dowager no longer intervened in court affairs openly, but the curtain was hung up again.

The emperor disappeared, and I dare not publicize this matter, for fear of causing panic.

But once the Queen Mother listens to the government behind the curtain, the emperor's disappearance may not be concealed, and King Jiu'an has not returned yet. This matter... I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Everyone was shooting rockets, someone coughed softly, so everyone fell silent immediately, and looked up the steps.

The Empress Dowager walked up surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs, looked down majestically through the curtain, and almost half of the ministers in the court immediately saluted and shouted: "A thousand years old, Empress Dowager!"

Prime Minister Fu and the people around him hesitated for a moment, but did not salute in time.

The next moment, the Queen Mother's voice came.

"Prime Minister Fu?"

Fu Chengxiang was silent for a moment, took two steps in the middle, bowed and saluted: "The minister is here."

After the curtain was drawn down, the Empress Dowager snorted, but the voice was not clear.

Prime Minister Fu lowered his head, feeling more and more uneasy.

Today's situation is more and more difficult to know how to deal with.

At this time, the Empress Dowager said: "The emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and the Ai family is deeply worried, but everything must be done with the country and the country as the most important thing. The Ai family is listening to the government behind the curtain. Does Prime Minister Fu have any opinions on this?"

"...I dare not."

"Since you dare not, why not be polite?"

"..."

Prime Minister Fu said nothing, but he didn't salute either.

Another person came out to Fu Chengxiang's side, and while watching the reaction of the queen mother behind the curtain, he whispered to Fu Chengxiang: "Prime Minister, the emperor and prince are not here now, the queen mother has such a righteous name, you and I should be quiet first." Wait, let's not have a conflict at this time."

This person is from Li Wei's side, and he also knows about the emperor's disappearance, so he is not surprised by what the queen mother said.

But as soon as the queen mother said this, the civil and military officials on both sides had already started to discuss back and forth.

Fu Chengxiang was silent for a moment, and reluctantly saluted: "The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old."

Seeing that Fu Chengxiang was subdued, the queen mother was satisfied, and looked at the other ministers who were arguing a lot, explained the emperor's disappearance, and said: "The emperor was fooled by heaven, Aijia believes that the emperor will be able to save the day, all ministers must abide by It is up to you not to create chaos."

"The ministers and others would like to obey the Queen Mother's order!"

"The former servant of the household department was dismissed, and now the position is vacant, which is very inconvenient. Liu Shu is ordered to be the servant of the household department."

The queen mother made such an arrangement suddenly, and Prime Minister Fu suddenly looked up.

The official position of the Ministry of Households is the most important, and the Queen Mother has just listened to the government behind the curtain, so blatantly arranging the members of the Liu family!
He was about to step forward when he was suddenly pulled back!
