I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

Zhang Tingyu added: "As for the late emperor's last words, 'never to see each other again in the dead or in the living', the imperial mausoleums of our Great Qing Dynasty must be completely closed after the late emperor is buried. The Empress Dowager and the Holy Mother Empress Dowager after him must build separate mausoleums. In the future, the Queen Mother of Jingren Palace will have her own mausoleum, not in the same place as the late emperor in the underworld. Even if she becomes the empress dowager, it will not be considered a violation of the late emperor's will."

"you--"

Zha Zha Long was dumbfounded.

Why didn't he think of this?

The empress dowager who died after the previous emperor all had a separate tomb built for her.

The late emperor's last words, 'We shall never meet again in this life or death', sound like nonsense.

Now, the late emperor has passed away and did not leave any edict to deal with the Empress of Jingren Palace before his death. So he can only observe filial piety and invite her into the Cining Palace.

Thinking of this, Zha Zha Long suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Everyone in the palace knew how vicious the late emperor's queen was.

The murder of Empress Yuan, the killing of the imperial heirs, the murder of concubines, one by one, it makes one's blood pressure rise just thinking about it.

If he really let her walk out of Jingren Palace and become the Queen Mother, would his harem still be peaceful?

But Zha Zha Long thought again and realized that although the Queen of Jingren Palace was cruel, his nominal stepmother, Concubine Xi, was not an easy person to deal with either.

These two old ladies are incompatible, fighting like black-eyed chickens, wishing you could eat me and I could eat you.

Concubine Xi had considerable power in the former dynasty and the harem. Now that her son had become the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, she would surely be even more difficult to deal with.

Instead of letting Concubine Xi be the only one in power, it would be better to let the Queen of Jingren Palace out and let these two old ladies fight each other. In this way, wouldn't the harem be balanced?

The more Zha Zha Long thought about it, the more he found it interesting. However, he did not nod immediately. He wanted to wait and see Concubine Xi's reaction.

He cleared his throat and said, "This is a serious matter. I need to think about it."

After hearing this, several ministers frowned so hard that they almost pinched a fly to death.

What are you considering?

The empress of the previous emperor is the legal mother. No matter which prince ascends the throne, she is the undisputed mother and empress dowager.

The family rules of our ancestors are here, and you, the emperor, just need to follow them.

Do you want to imprison your stepmother for the rest of her life?

It's really outrageous.

These ministers were staunch supporters of traditional ethics and morality, which are the feudal moralists criticized by many modern people.

In their eyes, etiquette, rules, and systems are above everything else.

Even the emperor has to follow the rules.

If you dare to be unfilial to your stepmother, you will be drowned in the saliva of people all over the world.

When the news reached the harem, Concubine Xi, Nian Hulu and Zhen Huan, who thought they had won the battle, were extremely panicked.

"Why is this happening?"

"Didn't the late emperor say that he would never see her again in this life or the next?"

"Why did she have a good turn of events after the previous emperor passed away, and was able to ascend to the position of empress dowager as the legitimate mother?"

Zhen Huan calls herself the female Zhuge Liang, and thinks that her good days will come if she kills the old man named Big Fat Ju.

Unexpectedly, this move would actually pave the way for his arch-enemy Ulanara Yixiu.

Zhen Huan felt uneasy. Thinking of the ministers of the previous dynasty who had come out to demand that Yixiu be released from Jingren Palace and placed in Cining Palace to live out her days, she felt like she was being fried in oil.

"Fujia, do you think the Emperor will really respect her as the Queen Mother?"

Zhen Huan looked flustered and gnashed her teeth.

Yixiu was her lifelong enemy. She had spent so much effort to suppress her. How could she just watch her ascend to the throne of her mother, the Empress Dowager?
