Chapter 1787 The New Emperor
As soon as he heard the late emperor's last edict, the emperor's expression was one of true despair.
"I guess, I can't..."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said with a smile: "Guess again."
"Queen Mother, are you trying to forge an imperial edict?"
The Queen Mother's calmness was like training her teeth-baring dog.
"Are you pretending not to recognize your father's handwriting? When you were appointed, it was just a temporary measure. After all, the other princes are even more unreliable than you, so your father is worried that the country will be ruined.
It is in your hands that I left this edict for the Ai family. If you ascend the throne and behave unjustly and betray your trust, this edict can take back your throne. However, there is a prerequisite. There must be a suitable
Successor, Chang'an is still young these days. Changfeng and Changkong have proven over time that one is just like you and the other is stupid. The Ai family can't bear to let the people of Daliang fall into dire straits again, so they have been enduring it... Now, there is really no need for you to sit here.
Now that you are in that position, you are a majestic emperor, but you don’t have the courage to admit your mistakes, so what are you doing in that position?”
The Queen Mother's aura spread out so quietly and silently, affecting everyone.
The ministers were intimidated by such an aura, as if they were seeing a holy lotus, but anyone who had done something wrong felt that they were a little dirty.
The emperor glanced at Baili Chang'an, and then said: "Queen mother, is it for him? After all, the throne will still fall on the blood of the Nangong family. I knew that back then, the queen mother had no son of her own, so she took me over.
, just to use me as a tool to give birth to a prince with the blood of your Nangong family, and then let him ascend to the throne..."
Queen Mother Nangong was not angry when she heard the emperor's shameless rebuttal.
If you get angry with such a desperate scum, you are not making yourself miserable.
"How many ridiculous things have you done in these years, do you still need the Ai family to help you list them? What is the origin of Yunzhu's mother-in-law? What do you love about her? It's just that she is not sent by any family, and you are the one who is in trouble
When she was with you, the person who stayed with you really loved you as a person, not your identity, so that you broke the etiquette and indulged in every possible way towards the daughter she left behind. Was this also arranged by the Aijia?"
"You have repeatedly harmed other concubines in the palace and concentrated on making trade-offs. Are these things taught to you by the Ai family?"
"You relied on the Nangong family to rise to power, but you supported the He family and provoked disputes between the He family and the Nalan family. These were also taught to you by the Ai family? When Queen Nalan entered the palace, weren't you under the control of the Ai family?
Didn't the Ai family know at that time that the person they married would be the future queen? Why didn't the Ai family let Concubine Chen enter the palace at that time? It was you who said that you and Concubine Chen had the same affection and wanted to give an explanation to the Nangong family. What happened?
What did you tell me?"
All the words of the Queen Mother were not intense, but seemed to be spoken quietly.
For so many years, the Emperor has sat in that position, feeling insecure and always seeking death.
"Mother, you are really tolerant...it's been so many years before you even think of settling a score with me..."
The Queen Mother said: "For the sake of justice, to give an explanation to the people, and to allow Concubine Chen to leave with peace of mind. If it hadn't been for her when she was dying, please don't cause chaos in the world for her alone. Do you think you have had a dog these years?"
I am destined to sit in this position..."
The emperor was aroused by the last sentence, what a dog's life?
"Mother, now only Baili Chang'an is suitable to inherit the throne. Is this your idea?"
The Queen Mother remained calm: "Why, because he is a bloodline of the Nangong family, the Ai family will ignore his excellence and avoid suspicion, right? When you received the throne, why didn't you think that the Nangong family gave it to you?
Did you choose to refuse this opportunity? The Aijia thought that if you lived longer, you would be able to learn a lot, but in the end, the longer you live, the more humble you become. There is really no progress at all, and all you have in your mind is selfishness and viciousness."
The emperor knew that the Queen Mother was serious about following him, so he immediately shouted: "I am the emperor now, take these people down for me!"
The guards had no choice but to obey and start moving again.
The Queen Mother was not in a hurry, and directly unfolded the late emperor's edict: "Would you like to listen to the content of this edict and decide whether you will help the tyrants to commit evil and be cast aside by your family, relatives, and children in the future, or whether you will turn to the dark side and support the people."
To establish a wise king?"
No one dared to move. The internal official who betrayed the emperor got up and read the edict loudly.
"I know in my heart that time is running out and all my sons are useless. Although the prince is the adopted son of the queen, he may not have the appearance of a wise king. For the sake of my great future, I leave this edict. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will expose his true nature and be selfish.
, has bad conduct, the queen can take charge of the overall situation, abolish his position, and choose the right person to take over... However, we must not act too hastily at this time, we must carefully consider the true intentions of the successor, and do not let the people of Liang repeat the same mistakes. This edict is the embodiment of my highest power in my life.
It is under the control of Queen Nangong. If anyone resists the decree, his family will be confiscated and his family will be exterminated..."
After reading the imperial edict, all the officials felt excited.
No wonder the Empress Dowager has led the third prince to live in Fengcheng with peace of mind these years. It turns out that they already have something like this that can change the dynasty without spending a single soldier.
"Do you still want to take action? The late emperor's edict is here. Your emperor is no longer the emperor. Whose order are you following?"
The Queen Mother's expression was calm, and there was no sense of urgency from beginning to end.
The imperial guards finally knelt down and threw down their weapons under the emperor's desperate gaze.
All civil and military officials were also shocked by this scene. This edict was unprecedented and unprecedented.
The Queen Mother calmly pushed Baili Changan out, and then said: "This is your new emperor."
Hong Dingyu took the lead and knelt down, shouting long live the mountain.
The Queen Mother looked at Nangong Qingcang who was kneeling down, and said very directly: "Qingcang, how are you doing? Is your father-in-law from Chang'an good at it?"
The emperor was simply left alone, as if no one cared about him.
At this time, he was wearing a dragon robe, but he looked like a corner player in a theater. The real emperor came for a private visit incognito...
Nangong Qingcang said: "He is already the head of the country, so naturally he has to work harder..."
They seemed to be particularly open-minded as they acted as if no one else was watching.
"Pass the posthumous edict on to a few veterans who are familiar with the late emperor's handwriting... in case the old prince is unconvinced..."
When the emperor heard this title, he wanted to faint.
Old prince?
"You can't do this to me..." The emperor still wanted to win.
