Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

The guard handed the imperial edict to Emperor Yuanping, performed a perfunctory salute, and left with Shu Jiao.

Emperor Yuanping was left in the room, furious.

But he didn't dare to smash the imperial edict sent by the empress dowager, so he could only sweep down the screens and decorations in the room.

Then he saw the servant who grew up with him limping in. It seemed that there was no serious problem, and his mood improved a little.

"Your Majesty, you..."

When I met those familiar, worried eyes, the grievances that I had just swallowed suddenly flooded into my heart.

Emperor Yuan Ping smiled bitterly and fell into his chair. "Forget it, forget it. This seat shouldn't have belonged to me."

He had never dreamed of becoming an emperor.

When his father was alive, he just treated him as a puppet.

But when he really becomes the emperor...

He is really unwilling!

I am unwilling to just watch the imperial power but not be able to touch it at all; I am unwilling to seem to be standing above all the civil and military officials but not be able to issue even a decree.

How could he not know that the noble families were using him as a weapon?

However, he really didn't want to, so he gave in without even fighting for it.

It's okay to lose now.

So many young men from noble families are dead, but at least he is still alive, right?

People must be content.

It's always good to be content.

Emperor Yuan Ping kept comforting himself, "After abdicating, the Queen Mother can't take me away too. At least I'm a prince. Let's go back to the palace and live a more carefree and happy life."

It’s better than the third brother staying at home all day and unable to go out.

It seems that the second emperor will be the one to take over as a puppet.

How pitiful~

This emperor is so frustrated. I hope my second brother won't get so angry that he dies...

At the grand court meeting a few days later, Emperor Yuanping took out the edict of repentance and the edict of abdication, and the empress dowager gave them to Prince Yong as a reward, and also gave them a prince's palace.

That afternoon he moved in with his wife and children in dejection.

He left happily, but the throne was empty!

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day!

What to do now?

The court officials actually shared the same idea as the newly appointed Prince Yong, and they all thought that the Queen Mother wanted to support a more obedient person to take the throne.

Among the princes left by the late emperor, there are only two left except Prince Yong.

Not to mention, the other two thought so too. Now they are very excited at home and are ready to be promoted.

Even if I can be a puppet.

A puppet is also an emperor!

They would definitely not be as ignorant as Prince Yong, who was restless as a puppet, fought with the Queen Mother as soon as he came to power, and finally ended up with a disgraceful abdication.

They can bear it.

Even if it takes time, the Queen Mother will be exhausted to death.

It will only take twenty years at most. As soon as the Queen Mother dies, they will truly take power and their day will be bright!

Unfortunately, they thought too well.

The Queen Mother and Shu Jiao were not prepared to give them any chance at all.

The court officials who received the message from the Queen Mother went straight to the point and petitioned her to ascend the throne.

Of course the Queen Mother disagreed.

Shu Jiao raised her hand and offered a high-yield grain seed to build momentum for the empress dowager.

In addition, two months ago, they started to create all kinds of "miracles" and "auspicious signs" and spent money to buy off a large number of "trolls"...

She was determined to give the Queen Mother an aura of "a goddess descending to earth".

What is this called?

This is called using mythological beliefs to break through the traditional Confucian shackles of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" and to shape the legitimacy of the empress dowager's accession to the throne.

Shu Jiao received a great reward, and the person who brought the auspicious sign received a great reward...

With so many precedents set, the court officials naturally knew what was going on, and soon auspicious signs appeared in various places, and everyone was congratulating the Empress Dowager.

After that, some court officials respectfully requested the Queen Mother to ascend the throne for the second time.

The prince was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

The royal family members have objections.

But after a careful count, it was discovered that many clan members, especially the stubborn ones, had been killed in the conflict between the Queen Mother and the aristocratic families a few months ago.

How to fix it?

Are we really going to have to watch the Queen Mother take the throne?

No!

The Queen Mother ascends the throne, doesn't this country have to change its name? !

The royal family members and old ministers of the Xiao family were preparing to join hands to cause trouble for the Queen Mother, thinking that they could not let her take the throne so easily.

As a result, the Ming army that revolted in Yizhou surrendered.

The Ming army is very good at fighting.

The soldiers sent by the court to suppress the bandits were defeated and their momentum was so great that they even occupied half of Yizhou's territory.

The situation is good, the other party has surrendered?

After careful questioning, we found out that the other party thought that the Queen Mother had ascended the throne. The leader of the Ming Army admired the Queen Mother very much, so he voluntarily surrendered to her.

courtier:……

Huh~

Believe it or not.

Royal family: ...

Finished.

This time there is really no way to stop the Queen Mother from ascending the throne.

really.

Some court officials requested the Queen Mother to ascend the throne for the third time.

The Queen Mother agreed this time.

After all, she always had to listen to the voices of the people. Besides, it was difficult for her to reject the three heartfelt requests from the court officials!

"Lord Shu, I was able to ascend the throne thanks to your careful planning."

The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, "The Right Prime Minister is old, and has submitted a letter to me requesting to retire and return home. From now on, I will have to ask you to take care of the affairs of the court."

The Right Prime Minister has left, and this position is vacant for you.

Don't let me down.

Shu Jiao understood instantly, and said firmly, "I will live up to the emperor's trust."

Oh yo~

The Queen Mother was really generous, and gave her the highest official position right away. She thought she had to climb up from the third rank.

"I believe you."

Shu Jiao's ability to get things done is truly amazing.

There is nothing she can't accomplish when it comes to her. And I've been with her for so long, fighting against the aristocratic families with her, and helping her rise to power...

If she doesn't trust Shu Jiao, who else can she trust?

The Queen Mother looked at Shu Jiao with more eager eyes than when she looked at Xiao Mi. "I heard that you were sick again a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?"

"I am fine now, thank you for your concern."

"I will ask the imperial physician to take your pulse later, and then ask him to go to the treasury to pick out some medicinal herbs for you. You can take them back to the palace. I hope that you and I can live together forever."

It would be better if Shu Jiao could live to be a hundred years old!

Do not!

One hundred and twenty years old!

In this way, even if there are any omissions in Xiao Mi and her heirs, Shu Jiao can fill them, and the dynasty can continue to prosper and enjoy peace and prosperity!

How could he become the emperor?

Look at this idea, even capitalists don't exploit people like this.

It seems that Shu Jiao is already 120 years old and still has to work for the royal family.

Skillful.

Xiao Mi thought so too.

They are indeed mother and daughter~

Shu Jiao carried a large pile of medicinal herbs and returned home with a few palace maids who were there to deliver the emperor's message.

Upon learning that she was appointed Right Prime Minister by the Queen Mother, Marquis Taiping and his wife said: Hmm?

Ah? ? ?

This...is this possible?

Taiping Hou glanced at the imperial edict again, unable to believe it—

Did his wish to transform his family from a military one to a civil one come true?

This is the Right Prime Minister!

Prime Minister! ! !

God bless, the ancestral grave is smoking.

He knew that his daughter was born extraordinary and had the potential to become a high-ranking official!

"Hurry up, get ready. Tomorrow... no, tonight we will offer sacrifices to our ancestors. We must quickly tell them the good news so that they can bless Jiaojiao with good health and a long life."

Voila.

The Marquis's wife was so happy that her speech became incoherent.
