"Your Majesty~"

At the same time, in the capital, several ministers of the political hall gathered in the palace at this time, showing sadness on their faces.

But before, the queen mother and the queen jointly issued a decree, and announced several important ministers to enter the palace overnight to discuss important matters.

The three watchmen sent the decree in the middle of the night, which was strange, and it was led by the female relatives in the palace, and they also let the ministers enter the harem quickly, and even some of the old ministers who had already been sent to the office, or had recently returned to the center, or who were in seclusion, received the decree.

The information revealed in these things does not need to be deliberately analyzed, and it is known that it is extraordinary, and it also makes Ma Yang, Wang Fu, Zhang Lian, Wang Jing, Geng Chi, Xu Yingyi, Cen Bo and others who were called taste some information from it.

Sure enough, after entering the palace, before coming to the emperor's bedroom, I felt the sadness in it without going in, and then several important ministers were not called into the palace, but were led by a small eunuch and entered the side hall.

There was already the Queen Mother and the Queen waiting there, but the expressions of these two were not good, the Queen Mother said that although her face was full of sadness, she still maintained Fengyi to some extent, but the queen not only had red and swollen eyes, but the tears in her eyes were rolling and dripping.

If it weren't for the fact that she would see the important ministers in this face, she would need the queen to come forward, and I am afraid that the queen mother would not let the queen's appearance fall in the eyes of the ministers.

However, where do these ministers still have time to take care of the empress's appearance, and there is only one news that they are eager to know now, and that is whether the emperor is alive or dead, whether he is dying, or is he already ......

This question did not last long, and it was solved by the Queen Mother herself.

About five hours ago, the emperor, who was reading the recitals in the imperial study, felt unwell and could not continue, so he returned to the palace to rest. Although many imperial doctors and imperial doctors were busy with various medicinal materials and medicinal soups for treatment, the emperor's condition was getting worse and worse, and his breath was gradually weakening.

Finally, in the midst of a busy sound, the emperor slowly closed his eyes, and he closed them and never opened them again.

Li Kun, the emperor who has left a strong mark in history, has experienced many vigorous changes and many bizarre twists and turns. After enjoying the supreme power of the world and experiencing the glory of a generation of kings, at the last moment, just like ordinary mortals, he passed away silently.

But the emperor's departure was an end for his life, but it was a turning point for the entire dynasty. And for many more, it's a start!

After the queen and the queen mother got the news of the hospital, they had already rushed over, just for the situation. But it didn't help, when the emperor just closed his eyes, although the queen mother and the queen were in chaos, they still remembered the previous experience. Then he had to let the Duke of Wei and the Princess-in-law of Wang use their strength to maintain the vitality of the flesh and blood, and at the same time, they had to let people go to Qiu Yan.

It's just that the emperor has just returned to heaven. The transfer of power has not been completed, the queen mother and the queen summoned the ministers into the palace in the capital, although there is no hindrance, but if the decree is to recall the ministers who perform official duties abroad, it will be a bit overstepping, without going through the ceremony of power transfer, it is not justifiable, breaking the rules, and it will inevitably be resisted by the ministers and families of all parties.

However, these things, the queen and the queen mother who live in the deep palace have not yet understood in detail, but the princess of Wei and the prince of Wang are in charge of a certain amount of authority, and they are clear in their hearts, so they wake up with words, so that the queen mother knows the reason, so she took the queen and met the ministers in the side hall.

Although before entering the palace, these ministers were more or less mentally prepared, but after hearing the exact news, these ministers still inevitably had a lot of emotions in their hearts, and even Na Ma Yang and others revealed their true feelings.

But there are also those who keep calm, such as that Xu Yingyi has long been ready to meet today, entered the palace, got the news, but also divided a trace of energy, and ordered the guards in the palace to wake up, and recruited the eunuch who was in charge of the palace access control, and ordered him to guard the gate and not let people go back and forth.

After doing this, Xu Yingyi met with Cai Que and others again and discussed-

"This news, we must keep it, at least in the past two days, it can't be leaked lightly, and the regeneration of the province will be twists and turns!"

"Yes, now the situation is unclear, and the emperor's edict has not been decided, so I can't let the news come out, so as not to be used by people with intentions. ”

While the two of them were talking, the other important ministers also had their own actions, although some of them had feelings for the emperor and would hurt the emperor's death, but at the same time, as a courtier with authority, his identity was not simple, so after the initial sadness, he had to consider the political significance of this matter, as well as the political storm that would be caused!

"I wonder where the prince is now?"

Soon, an old minister with such qualifications as Ma Yang asked what the ministers were most concerned about, and this kind of thing can only be asked lightly by his transcendent status.

"Yan'er is accompanying the emperor in the dormitory. After she finished speaking, she glanced at the queen mother, who was moved in her heart, understood what she meant, and knew that the queen was urging herself, and let these ministers issue an order to summon Qiu Yan back to Beijing.

The last time the emperor entered the underworld, it was Qiu Yan who came to help, and there was the protection of the gods, so that the emperor returned to his soul, and now the queen and the queen mother naturally regarded these as life-saving straws, and the ministers made a decision, the next step was to go to the temple to worship the ancestors, and then go to the Temple of Heaven to pray to God, hoping that the newly canonized prince god could lend a hand again.

This can also be seen that the emperor is really the pillar and backbone of the palace, even if the queen mother usually has majesty and can suppress some of the emperor's thoughts, but when it comes to the turning point of the fate of the world, there will still be a surprise, just like now, the queen mother regrets letting these courtiers know the news that the emperor has returned to heaven, and began to suffer from gains and losses, should she say another set of words, in case the emperor wakes up afterwards, it will not cause chaos.

However, in the final analysis, even the queen mother understands that it can be done again, the previous time the emperor returned to heaven, it was full of strangeness, even if she was a woman, she could see the strangeness in it, and knew that there might be hidden secrets.

But this time the emperor died, there was already a harbinger, what the emperor's body and bones were, the queen mother and the queen also knew it, so they subconsciously did not prevent the spread of the news, but even if they had the idea of what happened, they were not willing to let go of any opportunity, so they hoped that the courtiers would be able to help after they knew.

Last time, Li Kun mentioned Qiu Yan's name before he entered the underworld, and Qiu Yan was also in the city, so the Queen Mother could still handle it calmly and stop the news, and even the most critical ministers did not tell him.

But now, Li Kun passed away silently, leaving no words, and Qiu Yan was not in Beijing, so that the queen mother and the queen had to rely on the strength of others in order to achieve their goals, and the most important goal was undoubtedly to hold power and assist the emperor in governing the world's ministers.

Even the black-faced prince Wang Fu lost his power before, but after Li Kun felt that his health was getting worse and worse, he also invited him to Beijing again.

But the queen mother and the queen mother knew about it, so they called him, Ma Yang, Zhang Lian, and other old ministers who were no longer each other, in fact, they were inheriting Li Kun's original meaning.

However, they didn't know that among the ministers present now, there were also many people who didn't want Qiu Yan to have a chance to interfere!

For example, Xu Yingyi, Cai Que and others have already regarded the emperor's return to heaven and the new monarch's ascension to the throne as an opportunity, and this time the timing can be said to be just right, just when Qiu Yan is not in Beijing, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course they want to give full play, so after talking in a low voice, they are all thinking about how to maximize their interests, especially with the opportunity of the "edict", so that their factions and forces can get the greatest benefits.

Not to mention, the previous cooperation between them and the thieves of Tiangang has actually been revealed to the emperor by Qiu Yan, and recently, their peripheral forces have been uprooted and swept away one by one by the emperor under the pretext of corruption, unauthorized power, corpse vegetarian meals, etc., which can be said to be dangerous and abnormal.

According to the normal order, once the peripheral minions are removed, even if it is the prime minister and the prime minister, it will become the toothless tiger, as long as the emperor finds some excuses, he can take it, but he will not be punished, but he will also lose the future of his career, and fall from the peak of power to the bottom, often going through many things that fall into the well and fall to the wall.

But now, the sudden death of the emperor is undoubtedly a great news for Xu Yingyi and Cai Que and other family representatives, giving them a dose of strength.

The rest of the ministers, such as Na Wang Jing, Geng Chi, and even Meng Qingbin, Xu Jin, Cen Bo and others, also had the same thoughts, and after the initial sadness, what they thought in their hearts was to use this opportunity to benefit the forces to which they belonged.

At this time, how many people would be willing to let others reach out again? Not to mention thinking about calling Qiu Yan back, even a person like Meng Qingbin, who was good friends with Qiu Yan, also understood that letting Qiu Yan come over now might not be of any help, but might make the situation even more chaotic.

What's more, even if Qiu Yan rushes back, he will not be able to reach the capital for a while, and far water will not quench his thirst.

But they didn't calculate that for women like the Queen Mother and the Empress, who may have scheming and know how to hold power, their views on the situation are very different from theirs.

For these two, nothing important is for the emperor to reopen his eyes, so when the ministers were thinking about it, the queen mother's words made them all stunned-

"You are all the emperor's humerus ministers, and now that such a big thing has happened, it is still up to you to stabilize people's hearts, and in addition, you must also recall Qiu Shangshu back to ......" (to be continued......)
