"Emperor, if you want to appoint the third prince as the crown prince, you must first pass the Aijia test."

As soon as Yin Moshang's words fell, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded in the hall, making everyone's hearts freeze. When they raised their eyes, it was the Empress Dowager Ning who hadn't appeared in 20 years and is also the biological mother of His Majesty today.

The Empress Dowager was dressed in a prosperous and dignified palace attire, and there was a majesty engraved on her brows, her eyes were extremely sharp, and Shen Ruyuan couldn't help but step back a few steps with that attitude of looking down on the world, and fell down on the dragon chair in embarrassment, her face pale. Called: "Mother... Mother, why are you back?"

When those old ministers saw the Queen Mother, it was as if they had seen the backbone. Their eyes were shining brightly. After 20 years, they seemed to see the strange woman who was unparalleled in wisdom and strategizing when the late emperor was seriously ill. They all turned their heads and fell to the ground. , Shouting in unison: "My ministers see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"

Yin Moshang also led Shen Moli out of the parade, and saluted the queen mother together with the ministers.

The empress respected the empress dowager the most, so she took the lead and led all the concubines to kneel in front of the empress dowager, and said tearfully, "Mother, you are finally back."

Looking at the queen, the queen mother's eyes suddenly became kind. She helped the queen up and nodded with a smile, "The queen has been lucky all these years."

The queen shook her head excitedly, and said, "My son is not in a bad situation."

The queen mother nodded and stopped talking. When she saw the Ninth Prince with a well-behaved face beside her, she touched the other's head kindly, and raised her head, with that high-ranking appearance again. She was supported by the palace maid step by step. Steps, standing in front of Shen Ruyuan, staring at him deeply, said coldly: "Huh! If I don't come back, this Dayao's country will be defeated by you. Emperor, Aijia asks you, do you kill me?" What should I do if a father kills a younger brother, favors a treacherous sycophant, frames a loyal minister, corrupts the court, and commits such a heinous crime?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the civil and military affairs of the whole court. Half of the senior officials in the court had heard rumors that the death of His Majesty and the late emperor were inseparable, and that the princes under the late emperor's knees were not seriously ill after the death of the late emperor. His death, even accidental death, was also inextricably related to Shen Ruyuan, but the rumors at that time were quickly quelled, and they didn't think deeply about it at the time.

Now, hearing the queen mother questioning the emperor like this, the old officials suddenly realized that the rumors back then were actually true. If so, then His Majesty is really cruel, he is simply an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous tyrant.

After hearing the queen mother's questioning, and seeing the suspicious eyes of the court ministers, Shen Ruyuan flinched and said fearfully: "Zhen...Zhen..."

Originally, some ministers did not believe these words, but after seeing the emperor's reaction, how can they deceive themselves and others.

The moment Yan Guifei saw the Empress Dowager, she was also frightened out of her wits and almost screamed, but she forced herself to calm down and screamed: "Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and you are respected by thousands of people. Lord of the world, Dayao is under your control, she is just a woman with no strength, even if she comes out, she will not dare to do anything to you."

Shen Ruyuan finally came back to his senses, nodded quickly, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I am the emperor, I am the lord of the world, where is the imperial guard? Where is the commander? Come on, the queen mother is old and confused, and she is talking crazy Speech is crazy, take her down quickly, and ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment."

Soon, Commander He led a team of imperial guards and knelt down in the center of the hall, bowed his head but did not move.

Concubine Yan first realized that something was wrong, and she scolded Commander He, "Commander He, Your Majesty asked you to take this crazy woman down, didn't you hear?"

Commander He quickly glanced at Yin Taiwei and Yin Moshang, continued to kneel still, but raised his hand to signal the outstretched imperial guards, and said, "Imperial concubine, I'm sorry I can't take orders for my humble position!"

Those imperial guards got the instruction, immediately stood up and crushed the three sons and five daughters of Concubine Yan to the ground, and put their knives on the necks of several ministers, and controlled all Concubine Yan's gangsters.

Empress Xue led the Ninth Prince and walked beside Empress Dowager Ning, and said with a sneer, "Concubine Yan, you have always been smart, haven't you noticed yet? Under the control of Yin Taiwei and Yin Prime Minister."

Concubine Yan Gui suddenly looked at Yin Moshang and Shen Moli in the crowd, her eyes were as vicious as poison, and she said: "It turns out that you have colluded with each other for a long time, you really have a vicious heart!"

Yin Moshang pulled Shen Moli to stand up, stood gracefully in the center of the hall, and said with a light smile, "Your concubine is just joking. Everything I do is to maintain the orthodoxy of my concubine. The Ninth Prince is benevolent, magnanimous and intelligent. Extraordinary, and the direct son of the empress, it is justifiable to succeed as the crown prince."

Shen Moli smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Shen Ruyuan raised his finger to Yin Moshang, glaring ferociously, his eyeballs seemed to pop out of their sockets, his lips trembled, and he lowered his hands without saying a word for a while.

He was so pissed off!

Concubine Yan was taken aback for a moment, she stretched out her fingers hesitantly to test his breathing, and finally fell to the ground in a daze, muttering to herself: "Dead? Your Majesty is dead?"

As she said that, she laughed like crazy.

"Do your own fault, don't live!"

Empress Dowager Ning sighed softly, turned to face the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and immediately announced: "Since Your Majesty has made mistakes, and Concubine Yan Guifei participated in the frame-up of the late Emperor, the three princes born under her knees cannot naturally be crowned as princes. The last decree is not counted. The nine princes have both talents and virtues, and they can bear the heavy responsibility of the country. After the big funeral, they will be enthroned as emperors. Do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection!"

"The minister has no objection!"

His Majesty passed away, the noble concubine fell from the horse, the Yan family and the three princes under her knees also deserved to be demoted, exiled, and the concubine who had been a disaster to the harem for more than [-] years was thrown into the cold palace, and she really became crazy woman.

Once Empress Dowager Ning returned to the palace, she used thunderous means to suppress those corrupt officials, and promoted many capable officials. One thousand stones will be paid, three thousand households will be given food, and four thousand mu of fertile land will be given.

The funeral was over in a hurry, and Shen Tianyun ascended the throne with the support of all the courtiers, and showed kindness to the ministers and the other princes. If there is no fault, the princes will be crowned princes, and all ministers will be promoted to a higher level. Those who have faults may be demoted. Either dismissed from office or exiled, the court atmosphere suddenly took on a new look.

In addition, the new emperor also promulgated various systems and measures that benefited the country and the people, reduced and exempted taxes for three years, and actively promoted the imperial examination system to select talents for the imperial court.

After being busy for a while, the court finally returned to normal, and Yin Moshang was also free.

One day, when it happened to be Xiu Mu, Shen Moli and Yin Moshang were playing chess in the mansion. After dropping the sunspots in their hands, they said curiously: "I haven't asked you yet, the Empress Dowager is locked up in Yongjing Nunnery, surrounded by Ambush and surveillance, how did you contact her and rescue her without anyone noticing? And I heard that the empress dowager is sick all day long, could it be that her illness is a disguise?"

Yin Moshang also dropped a chess piece and ate a few sunspots from the opponent, and said with a light smile: "This is also thanks to a vendor you rescued on the street that day. This person has been delivering food to Yongjing Temple for a long time. We passed He just got in touch with the Empress Dowager. However, her illness was not faked. Shortly after she found out the cause of the late emperor's death, she was prescribed medicine by Yan. , I am afraid that her soul has returned to Huangquan back then. Although this elixir can detoxify, it also has side effects, which caused her to fall asleep frequently during that time, and her cronies around her were all executed for various reasons, so Shen Ruyuan used it as an excuse to recuperate. She was sent to a temple for imprisonment. Therefore, even if her body returned to normal later, she could not get in touch with the outside world and reveal the truth of the year."

Shen Moli nodded and said: "It is also thanks to Shen Ruyuan that the last trace of conscience has not been wiped out, otherwise, even if the Empress Dowager survives, she will be poisoned to death again. If this is the case, I am afraid that the third prince will be on the throne now .”

Yin Moshang shook his head and said: "Even without the help of the Empress Dowager, it is not impossible for the Ninth Prince to ascend to the throne of God, it just takes a little bit of effort."

Shen Moli smiled and said: "That's right, with our famous Duke and lord around, how could Concubine Yan be able to succeed? But I'm still a little regretful, Shen Ruyuan didn't know that he was killed by the woman he loved the most until his death."

Yin Moshang sighed: "A hateful person must have pity. A Li, you lost."

Shen Moli glanced down, then stared up at Yin Moshang, and said angrily: "Why did I lose again? You know I'm not good at chess, so can't you let me have another piece?" In fact, Shen Moli's chess skills are still It's pretty good, but Yin Moshang is too evil, so he loses every time.

Yin Moshang compromised: "Okay! I'll let you two in the next game, how about it?"

Shen Moli said confidently: "No, at least three sons."

Yin Moshang said helplessly: "Okay, okay, the third son is the third son."

Shen Moli said triumphantly: "It's not too bad."
