Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

When the Queen Mother said Xuan Moyin's name, the Queen was not actually very shocked, because among the late emperor's brothers, only the eighth uncle Xuan Moyin was still alive.

"Mother, what you mean now is..." The Queen already had a general idea of ​​what the Queen Mother was going to do.

"The Taoist priest asked me to restore order. I have decided to let Hao'er abdicate and let your eighth uncle return to sit on the throne." The Queen Mother said very calmly, as if she was talking about something like the weather was nice today.

The queen sighed. She had just thought about it. For Xuan Haotian to survive, what would it matter if she didn’t want to be the queen?

"Mother," the Queen asked with some concern, "I'm afraid those ministers will not agree. Then..."

"The emperor is ill now. My decree is the emperor's imperial decree. How dare they disagree?" said the empress dowager.

However, this time the Queen Mother still underestimated these ministers.

On the second day, at the morning court, the empress dowager and the queen personally arrived at the Golden Palace. A thin curtain was drawn behind the dragon throne, and behind the curtain were two chairs, where the empress dowager and the queen sat.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Even though the emperor has been ill for a month, the affairs of the former court have always been assisted by the duke and the prime minister.

Today, the Empress Dowager and the Queen personally came to the Golden Palace to attend the morning court. All the officials in the hall suddenly had a premonition that something big was about to happen, but no one knew what it was.

Everyone looked at the Duke and the Prime Minister, but they were also confused. What was the Queen Mother and the Empress trying to do? Were they ruling from behind the curtain? Why didn't they discuss it with them and suddenly sat behind the dragon throne waiting for them during the morning court?

Looking at the expressions of the Duke and the Prime Minister, the officials knew that these two gentlemen probably didn't know what had happened. They then turned their gaze to the Queen Mother and the Empress in front of them.

"Everyone, the emperor has been seriously ill during this period, and you have all been working hard. This palace and the queen would like to express our gratitude to you all. You have all worked hard." The empress dowager looked at the civil and military officials standing in the hall through the curtain with a strange look and said.

"Plop." Almost at the same time, all the officials knelt down, buried their heads in the ground, and said loudly: "Empress Dowager, these are what the ministers should do. I am terrified!"

"Stand up!" the Queen Mother said to the ministers again.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" All the officials kowtowed in thanks and stood up again one by one.

"I wonder why the Queen Mother came to the Golden Palace today?" the Duke asked with his head bowed.

The Queen Mother glanced at the Duke and said, "Everyone, I think you have all heard about the reason why His Majesty has been ill for the past month."

All the officials nodded slightly. Yes, who among them had not discussed it privately? Who in the official circles of the capital didn't know that the former Crown Princess came to ask for His Majesty's life and frightened the Emperor into falling ill? Even in the palace, it was spreading privately.

Seeing that everyone agreed, the Queen Mother continued, "I'm sure everyone knows that the Queen and the Emperor have invited Taoist Master Xuyun from Mount Wutai to exorcise the Emperor's soul a few days ago!"

All the officials agreed and no one spoke. At this moment, they were wondering what the Queen Mother was going to do.

The Queen Mother ignored these people's thoughts and continued, "Master Xuyun is a man who has attained enlightenment in seclusion. He came out of seclusion this time to tell me something."

The officials standing below knew that the Queen Mother was about to get to the point, so they all stood up straight and were fully alert.

"I believe many of you know better than me how the late emperor won the throne." The Queen Mother said slowly, "This time Taoist Master Xuyun also mentioned the late emperor's throne."

The Queen Mother paused for a moment, picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip of tea, then continued, "I have decided to let the prince abdicate, and let the Regent Xuan Moyin inherit the throne of the old emperor."

After the Queen Mother said this, there was total silence in the Golden Palace, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

What does it mean to inherit the throne of the old emperor, rather than the previous emperor, or the current emperor?

Some ministers have noticed the difference in what the Queen Mother said.

However, not everyone noticed the difference in the Queen Mother's words. Some people thought more about the fact that as Xuan Haotian's confidant, they had done so many things against the Regent.

There are also some things that violate the laws of the Yuan Dynasty. Over the past year or so, they have been corrupt, accepting bribes, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil. The emperor has always turned a blind eye to them. If the current majesty abdicates and is replaced by the regent Xuan Moyin, will they still be able to get away with it?

Among them are the Duke, the Prime Minister, the Shangshu, and the Grand Marshal.

The Duke was the first to speak up: "Empress Dowager, this is not right. The Emperor is just ill and has nothing wrong. How can he abdicate? Even if His Majesty abdicates, there is still a prince who has inherited the throne. How can it be the Regent's turn?"

"Yes! Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please think twice!" The Prime Minister also stood up and said.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the motion!"...

More and more ministers stood up in the hall.

Are you kidding? They are all Xuan Haotian's men. If Xuan Moyin were in that position, considering what they have done, Xuan Moyin will definitely not let them go, even though their house was suddenly robbed and they have lost everything.

Seeing so many ministers' opposition, the Queen Mother did not compromise. This was her well-considered decision. Moreover, she had secretly sent a nanny to Beiliang State to deliver a letter.

"Everyone, let alone the emperor's health, even my grandchildren are only about two years old at their oldest. How can they inherit the throne?" said the empress dowager.

"Empress Dowager, ..." The Duke wanted to say something but immediately interrupted the Empress Dowager.

"Duke, you don't need to say anything more." The Queen Mother said sternly: "Everyone, I have made up my mind. I am here today just to inform you, not to discuss with you. Well, the Queen and I are tired, so we will not disturb you from discussing matters."

After saying that, the Queen Mother and the Empress stood up, and with the help of the palace maids, they left the Golden Palace through the back door.

"Farewell to the Empress Dowager. Farewell to the Empress Dowager." The ministers knelt down and shouted again.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, the hall was in an uproar.

Some ministers who remained neutral said nothing and watched the changes in others.

Of course, Xuan Moyin's people were also hiding among them, and they were naturally happy. At the beginning, the late emperor wanted to appoint the regent as the crown prince to inherit the throne, because Xuan Moyin was the late emperor's most beloved prince, and with Xuan Moyin's ability, he was the only one who was most qualified to sit on that position at that time. However, he was preempted by the Fourth Emperor Xuan Jingyu, the current late emperor, and sat on that position.
