All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 985: Retire the hairpin and encourage government

A country cannot live without a king for a day. Knowing the status of the emperor's dragon body, the issue of "Crown Prince" can be brought to the table. We cannot leave the ministers to fight in private.

That is war over reserves and chaos.

In short, someone has to peel off this layer of window paper and become the first person.

Officials will not be punished for admonishing.

This can only be done by Mr. Qi. Only after Mr. Qi has done it, the rest of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will dare to take the lead. Only the Metropolitan Procuratorate will bear the brunt, and then other ministers in the court will dare to follow.

Mr. Yu Ge closed his eyes: "Let's go to the palace to find out what's going on!"

They are the royalists. Only by protecting the emperor and the country can they be loyal and filial. In order to plan for the family for a century, the royalists must take the lead in this matter.

The law does not judge crimes based on public opinion. At that moment, a group of courtiers headed by Mr. Yu Ge went to Qianji Hall in a mighty manner, knelt at the door of the hall, and asked to see the emperor.

But he was blocked back by Eunuch He who was in front of the emperor.

Immediately, there were courtiers who claimed to be "loyal to the emperor". They could not restrain their anxious and angry emotions, pointing at their noses and yelling at Eunuch He: "You are a dog slave, relying on the emperor's favor, you have exceeded your authority and ruled the country, disturbed the imperial court, a castrated dog, But you are a slave who deceived your master and became the emperor's master, who gave you the courage to do so?!"

"The eunuchs are ruining the country. The tragic death of Prince Liang, if not decided as soon as possible, will have disastrous consequences and delay national affairs. Can you, a castrated dog, be able to stop it?!"

"You gelding, if you don't get out of the way, I might as well tell you that today, even if we leave our heads in the palace, we still want to see the emperor."

"..."

The two sides were in such a quarrel that even the Queen Mother, who was discussing with Eunuch Zhu about the funeral of the Queen Mother, got the news and immediately rushed to Qianji Hall without caring about anything else.

After the death of the Queen Mother, Queen Ning gradually gathered her forces, and some of the Queen Mother's connections in the palace gained more and more control over the harem.

However, Concubine Lan was either a vegetarian after all, or she was troubled by Ning Yuanbo's case and still firmly controlled Qianji Palace.

This is an opportunity for Queen Ning.

Uncle Ning Yuan's residence was imprisoned. Without the support of her maternal family, Concubine Lan was weak and weak. How could she still firmly control the harem?

Why did the second prince gain the support of many veterans?

To put it bluntly, Concubine Lan still remains in favor, and the Second Prince is also highly regarded by the Emperor.

At this time, if the news that the emperor is seriously ill is made public, the courtiers who support the second prince will definitely be upset. Not only can it further attack Concubine Lan, but she can also take the opportunity to win people's hearts in the court.

Queen Ning made a good calculation and hurried over.

At this time, the quarrel and shouting in front of Qianji Hall had become a big deal.

It wasn't until the shrill voice of the chamberlain rang out that the courtiers realized that the Empress had arrived. They quickly gathered their lapels and saluted the Empress.

"My lords, please excuse me quickly." Empress Ning stepped forward quickly and gave Yu Laoge, the leader, a virtual support.

Yu Lao Ge took advantage of the situation and stood up, and the other ministers also quickly followed suit.

The atmosphere became tense.

Since Mr. Yu Ge has become the leader, he naturally cannot give up halfway: "The emperor's absence from the court for a long time is contrary to the way of a wise king. If we ministers take it lightly, it is also against the way of loyalty to the emperor. Our great Zhou Dynasty has always governed the country with loyalty and filial piety. Now that the Empress Dowager has passed away, the previous dynasties and harems need the emperor to take charge of the overall situation in order to fully implement "filial piety" and stabilize the country. The old ministers and others came to the palace to implore the emperor to come to the court."

What he said was high-sounding and resonated with everyone present.

Inviting the emperor to the court is the way to be loyal to the emperor.

When the emperor comes to court, he practices filial piety.

The Great Zhou Dynasty governed the country with loyalty and filial piety, but if loyalty and filial piety were not complete, heaven and earth would destroy them.

Even a loyal minister cannot sit idly by and watch, as the emperor still refuses to come to court.

The Empress was immediately filled with emotion: "Your Excellencies are concerned about state affairs, and in order to fulfill your loyalty to the Emperor, you put your life and death at risk. It is indeed a great virtue of the Emperor that we have such good ministers and assistants in the Zhou Dynasty. It is a great blessing for the country. I am a female in this palace. I don't understand." In the affairs of the previous dynasty, I stayed in my inner house, my heart was devoted to the health of the Holy Body, and I performed filial piety in front of the Queen Mother. I acted according to the rules and only hoped to be of one heart and one mind with the Emperor. I never dared to go beyond my duty."

This statement is really wise.

But it is not a lie. For many years, Empress Ning has not left the palace and stayed in the inner house. She has indeed behaved well. The reason why she opened the palace gate is because the Empress Dowager is not in good health. It can be regarded as an act of filial piety to the Empress Dowager. , which is full of filial piety and irrefutable.

All the courtiers present had their own secrets and different thoughts.

The Empress didn't care what they were thinking, and just continued: "Your Excellencies, you are all the pillars of the country and ministers of the country. To make you willing to risk the crime of "disrespect" and ask to see the Emperor, it can be seen that the situation has changed. The situation is so serious that it is so critical. Although I am not talented, I am willing to follow Empress Jiang's example of "retiring the hairpin to encourage government", and together with all your lords, I sincerely request the Emperor to come to court."

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the venue.

King Xuan of Zhou neglected political affairs, but Empress Jiang knew her righteousness and advised King Xuan of Zhou to be diligent in his administration. She took off her hairpin and earrings and knelt down in Yongxiang to express her guilt.

After King Xuan of Zhou knew Queen Jiang's thoughts, he was moved and ashamed, so he worked hard to revive the Zhou royal family.

Queen Ning imitated Queen Jiang, who was virtuous on the inside and virtuous on the outside, fully demonstrating the virtuous demeanor of the mother of a country.

Then, the Queen was seen resolutely taking off her phoenix robe in public, kneeling in front of the palace, and then taking off her nine dragon and nine phoenix crowns, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other accessories one by one.

Eunuch He was shocked: "Queen, you can't do this..."

King Jiang withdrew his hairpin and returned to power, creating a resurgence of the Zhou royal family. Queen Ning followed suit for the sake of the country and the country of Zhou Dynasty. Not to mention being a slave of Eunuch He, even the emperor himself could not turn a blind eye.

The empress, who had taken off her phoenix robe and jewelry, knelt in front of the Qianji Hall and kept saying, "How come Empress Jiang can do it, but I can't do it?!"

The courtiers also reacted and quickly shouted: "The Queen understands the righteousness..."

The empress held the phoenix robe, nine-dragon and nine-phoenix crown, earrings and other accessories in her hands: "I am guilty, and when the emperor comes to court, he will naturally deal with it himself. Eunuch He, please get out of the way, don't delay the national affairs."

At this time, Eunuch He dared not stop him. He glanced at all the adults present with his slender eyes and said, "My lords, you are asking to see the emperor just to fulfill your loyalty to the emperor, so you don't want to disturb the emperor's dragon body too much. I would like to ask you all to discuss who will go into the palace with our family to ask for an audience with the Emperor and to express my love to the Emperor."

There were more than twenty ministers present, so naturally it was impossible to bring them all into the palace.

The courtiers had achieved their goal and were not ambiguous about the matter. They immediately elected three ministers, including Mr. Yu Ge, to go to see the emperor together with the empress.
