Chapter 1137 The emperor passed away as usual, the temple was scheming
"Your Majesty~"
At the same time, in the capital, several ministers from the Political Affairs Hall gathered in the palace at this time, showing sadness...,w√ww.23◇wx.co■m
But before, the Empress Dowager and the Queen jointly issued an imperial edict, and announced that several important officials would enter the palace to discuss important matters overnight.
The order was issued in the middle of the night. It was strange that the female relatives in the palace were led by them. They also asked foreign ministers to enter the harem quickly. Even some old ministers who had retired, had recently returned to the center, or lived in seclusion, had received the order.
The information revealed in these matters does not need to be deliberately analyzed, and it is unusual. It also makes the summoned Ma Yang, Wang Fu, Zhang Lian, Wang Jing, Geng Chi, Xu Yingyi, Cen Bo and others taste some information from it.
Sure enough, after entering the palace, before coming to the emperor's bedroom, he felt the sadness in it without going in. Then several important officials were not summoned to the palace, but led by a small eunuch to the side hall.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress have been waiting there, but the expressions of these two are not good. The Empress Dowager is okay. Although she is full of sorrow, she still maintains Fengyi. However, the Empress's eyes are not only red and swollen, but also tears in her eyes are even rolling.
If it weren't for meeting the important ministers in this way, the queen would probably not have let the queen's appearance fall into the eyes of the ministers.
However, these ministers did not have time to care about the queen's performance. There was only one news they were eager to know now, that is, whether the emperor was alive or died, whether he was in dying, or whether he had already...
This question did not last long and was solved by the Empress Dowager himself.
About five hours ago, the emperor, who was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, felt uncomfortable and could not continue, so he returned to his bedroom to rest. Unexpectedly, after resting, he did not improve again. Although there were many imperial physicians, and the imperial physicians were busy with various medicinal materials and medicine soup to treat them, the emperor's condition became worse and worse, and his breath gradually weakened.
Finally, amid the busy sound, the emperor slowly closed his eyes, and when he closed it, he never opened it again.
Li Kun, the emperor who left a lot of inspiration in history, passed through many vigorous changes and many bizarre and tortuous experiences. After enjoying the power of the supreme world and experiencing the glory of a generation of kings, at the last moment, he passed away silently like an ordinary mortal.
But the emperor's departure was an end for his life, but it was a turning point for the entire dynasty. For more people, it was an beginning!
After receiving the news from the Imperial Hospital, the Empress and the Empress Dowager rushed over, but they did not help the situation. When the emperor just closed his eyes, although the Empress Dowager and the Empress were in chaos, they still remembered their previous experience. They wanted to let the Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Wang run their strength to maintain flesh and blood activity, and at the same time, they wanted to find Qiu Yan.
However, the emperor had just returned to heaven. The transfer of power was not completed. The empress dowager and the queen summoned ministers to the palace in the capital. Although it was not hindered, if the order was issued to recall the ministers who performed official duties outside, it would be a bit overstepping. Without the transfer of power, it would be injustice and break the rules. It would inevitably be boycotted by ministers and families from all sides.
However, the empress and empress dowager who live in the deep palace have not yet understood these things in detail. However, Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Wang hold certain authority and are clear in their hearts, so they wake up with words, so they let the empress know the reason, so they took the empress to meet the ministers in the side palace.
Although these ministers were more or less mentally prepared before entering the palace, after hearing the exact news, these ministers still felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, and even Ma Yang and others revealed their true feelings.
But there were also those who were calm. For example, Xu Ying had already prepared to welcome today. After entering the palace and getting the news, he still had a little energy to instruct the guards in the palace to wake up quickly, and then recruited eunuchs responsible for the access control in the palace, so that they could guard the gate and not let people go back and forth easily.
After finishing all this, Xu Yingyi met with Cai Que and others and started discussing-
"This news must be kept safe, at least not easily leaked in these two days, so as to save regeneration and setbacks!"
"Yes, the situation is not clear now, and the emperor's will has not been decided. We really cannot let the news come out, so as not to be used by those who are interested."
While they were talking to each other, the other important officials also had their own actions. Although some of them had feelings for the emperor and would hurt the emperor's death, as court officials with authority, their identity was not simple, so after the initial sadness, they had to consider the political significance of this matter and the political storm that would cause!
"I wonder where the prince is now?"
Soon, an experienced old minister like Ma Yang asked about the things that the ministers were most concerned about. Only with his transcendent status could he easily ask about such things.
"Yan'er is accompanying the emperor in the bedroom." The one who answered this was the sob queen. After she finished speaking, she glanced at the empress dowager. The latter's heart moved and understood the meaning. She knew that the queen was urging her to ask these ministers to issue an order as soon as possible to summon Qiu Yan back to Beijing.
The last time the emperor entered the underworld, Qiu Yan came to help him and was protected by the gods, so that the emperor could return to his soul. Now the queen and the queen mother naturally regarded these as life-saving straws. After making a decision with the ministers, the next step was to go to the Taimiao to worship ancestors, and then go to the Temple of Heaven to ask for the gods, hoping that the newly enthroned king god could lend a helping hand again.
This also shows that the emperor is the pillar of the palace and the backbone. Even if the empress dowager is usually majestic and can suppress some of the emperor's thoughts, he will still be in trouble when encountering a turning point that really affects the fate of the world. For example, now, the empress dowager regrets that the emperor has returned to heaven and is starting to worry about gains and losses. Should he say another set of words? If the emperor wakes up later, it will not cause chaos.
However, after all, even the empress dowager knew that it was okay to be reborn. The previous time the emperor returned to heaven was full of strange things. Even if she was a woman, she could see the strangeness and know that there might be hidden information.
But this time the emperor passed away, there were signs of precursors. The empress dowager and the queen knew the body of the emperor very well, so they subconsciously did not stop the spread of the news. But even with the thought of something, they were unwilling to miss any opportunity, so they hoped that the ministers would be of any help after they knew it.
Last time, before entering the underworld, Li Kun mentioned Qiu Yan's name, and Qiu Yan was also in the city, so the empress dowager could handle the news calmly and blocked the news. He did not even tell the most critical ministers.
But now, Li Kun passed away silently, leaving no words left, and Qiu Yan was not in the capital. In this way, in order to achieve his goal, the Empress Dowager and the Queen had to rely on the power of others. The most important goal was undoubtedly to hold power and assist the emperor in governing the ministers in the world.
Even the black-faced prince Wang Fu had lost power before, but after Li Kun felt that his health was getting worse and worse, he invited him to the capital again. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that this was a heavy responsibility and wanted to entrust an orphan, but no one expected that it would have been possible before the emperor could say it, and things had developed to the point of today.
But the queen and the queen mother knew about this and called him and Ma Yang and Zhang Lian, who were no longer prime ministers, were actually inheriting Li Kun’s original intention.
However, they didn't know that among the ministers present, there were many people who didn't want Qiu Yan to have the chance to intervene!
Xu Yingyi, Cai Que and others have already regarded the emperor as the new king as an opportunity, and this time can be said to be just right, just when Qiu Yan was not in the capital. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course they wanted to make good use of it, so after a low conversation, they all planned how to maximize their interests, especially with the opportunity of the "sacred will" to make their factions and forces get the greatest benefits.
Not to mention, the previous cooperation between them and the Tiangang and Disha thieves had actually been revealed to the emperor by Qiu Yan. Recently, their peripheral forces have been removed and swept away by the emperor under the pretext of corruption, abuse of power, and corpse positions. It can be said that it is extremely dangerous.
In normal order, once the outer minions are removed, even the prime minister and the prime minister will become the toothless tiger. As long as the emperor finds some excuses, he can take it down. Even if he cannot be punished, he will lose his career and fall from the peak of power to the bottom, he will often have to go through many things that can be put into trouble and bend down.
But now, the emperor's sudden death is undoubtedly great news for representatives of aristocratic families such as Xu Yingyi and Cai Que, and they are given a dose of heart-warming agent.
The other ministers, such as Wang Jing, Geng Chi, and even Meng Qingbin, Xu Jin, Cen Bo, etc., also had the same idea. After their initial sorrow, what they thought in their hearts was to use this opportunity to benefit the forces they belonged to.
At this time, how many people would be willing to let others reach in? Not to mention thinking about calling Qiu Yan back, even if Meng Qingbin, who is a close friend of Qiu Yan, understands that letting Qiu Yan over now may not be of any help, but may make the situation even more chaotic.
What's more, even if Qiu Yan rushed back, he would not be able to reach the capital for a while, and the distance could not relieve his intimate thirst.
But they did not calculate that women who may have the scheming of the Queen Mother and the Queen, who also know how to hold power, have a huge difference in their views on the situation.
For these two, the great things did not make the emperor open his eyes again, so when the ministers were all thinking about it, the Queen Mother's words made them all stunned-
Chapter completed!
