The concubine's son Gaomen 71

It’s no trivial matter to be secretive!

The few people looked at Gan, but didn't say anything. They began to think about it in their hearts.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. This secret means that for a long time, the country will not have a monarch. But this emperor is the heaven above his head. Without this layer of heaven, what should we do? Who will decide the great matters in the world?

Gan saw the questions on several people's faces and whispered: "Everyone, sit down first, don't panic. Listen to me."

The few people looked at it and found that Concubine Chen was so calm. The sky had collapsed, and she could still be so calm. Could it be that a few big men are not as good as a woman? So, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all sat down now.

Gan continued to say, "Your Majesty suddenly walked, and no last order was left. How should the throne be inherited? There must be an explanation. This matter is the first major event now, we must have a charter."

This is not what the adults weighed in their minds at this moment.

Marquis Jing'an looked at Gan and asked, "What about Empress Yi's meaning?"

Gan looked at the seat where the queen was sitting, and saw that she lowered her head, without saying anything, and seemed to be paying attention to nothing, so she turned around and had a little bitterness on her face: "In theory, the queen must have the idea of ​​this. But everyone also saw it, the queen... I am afraid that it is not possible now. Therefore, I can only interfere in my affairs and say a few words reluctantly. Before, you have heard what the emperor said at his death."

Everyone frowned, and then they remembered that the emperor finally said: "Too...the prince...the deposed..."

But this is only half of it, how should I understand it?

I want to say, "The prince is useless."

Still want to say, "The prince cannot be deposed."

In fact, judging from the emperor's appearance at that time, the emperor's intention should be to depose the prince.

But now the situation is different. If the emperor lives, the deposed prince will be deposed. But if the emperor dies, the prince will be deposed, which will be in chaos. Who in the world thinks? Those who are sitting in the world have become traitors with ill-hearted intentions.

These people were worried, but they didn't know what Gan's meaning was. Logically speaking, supporting the young king would be beneficial to Gan's and Princess Yunyin. The little emperor held it in his hands and it took more than ten years to grow up and become a man until he was in power. In the past ten years, Princess Yunyin would have given birth to his own children.

The few of them thought so at this time. Although Gan was a powerful protector of the prince, he should have used His Majesty’s last words as an excuse to successfully depose the prince. He was not secretly so that he could follow the emperor’s hand and do this, which was very legitimate!

But he didn't expect that as soon as Gan opened his mouth, he said, "The emperor's meaning should be that the prince cannot be deposed. Your Majesty has a wise mind, and the king of the country, how can you not understand this principle?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned. This was really unexpected.

Gan only lowered his eyelids and did not look at the expressions of everyone. He continued, "You can issue an edict if you enthrone the queen's father as Chenggong. What do you think?"

The queen sat aside, lowered her head and looked a little confused and stunned in her eyes.

Several adults looked at each other. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has enthroned many people, but he has not enthroned the empress's family. This itself shows the emperor's attitude towards the empress and the Li family. But now, Gan's family has used this matter to convey a friendly message to the prince. On the other hand, it is also to prevent others from making unreasonable speculations. This is to tell everyone that even if the emperor is sick, he is not as confused as he is. This just happened to be a year after the filial piety period, and it is not too late to enthrone the empress's family.

The queen's eyes were a little clear at this time. Gan Quan did this to block her mouth. Even if her "illness" was cured, could she still stand up and not deal with her? If this is true, how should these people here view themselves? Isn't this ungrateful? When the disease became so sick, people still spared no effort to protect their son and support their parents' family. If you want to say a word to her, it is not something that people do. It seems that you should not be "well". Keep mad, Gan Quan can only act on the queen's power instead of her. This should be Gan Quan's plan. Although the queen's power was not necessarily important in the previous dynasty, at this time, the queen had great say.

Prince Yu nodded: "What the Empress said...is reasonable. Just do as the Empress said."

He is a Zongzheng, and his words are still important in the inheritance of the throne.

Gan looked at Prince Yu and nodded: "The old prince is talking, so that's it. I happened to have something to say to the prince."

Prince Yu frowned and touched his beard, "Please tell me, please listen."

The Gan family glanced at several royal princes and said, "As the saying goes, a single tree can't make a forest. Nowadays, the prince is the only one who is under the emperor." It is still adopted. "It is said that father and son fight with each other, and brothers who fight tigers. There are few close friends around the prince to help. What I mean is that you choose one in the royal family, choose some smart children over eight years old and under fifteen years old, and we will open the study again. Your Majesty once had this meaning, and he mentioned it to me more than once. He wanted to make the palace lively. Now, this matter can be done."

Prince Yu paused his hand when touching his beard, and hesitated, and accidentally pulled down two beards.

Guo Changhe looked at the faces of the princes and understood Concubine Chen's plan in his heart. It is impossible to say that this method is really clever. The prince has left the palace. What if something happens? Anyone is not afraid of ten thousand, but this is afraid of something. If the prince is really surprised, then isn't the throne the Yuan brother? The Concubine is definitely unwilling to choose so many children, just to prepare for the future if they appear. At that time, the choice is

With more choices, her status will be more stable. Everyone looks at her face, rather than living with her brother Yuan. More importantly, she not only announced the news of the emperor's health in a high-profile manner, diverted everyone's attention, but also comforted the royal family. I am afraid that after I go back today, these princes will be busy. Originally, it would be inappropriate to speak for the queen as a concubine of Concubine Chen.

The princes of the royal family had something to say, but I was afraid that Concubine Chen would be in trouble. But now, it was like the radish hanging in front of the donkey, completely hanging these royal families. Are these people wondering if their children were lucky? Even if the prince was found and the children entered the palace, it would be no harm. After all, with their identities, their relationship with the emperor was far behind. Ask the children under the prince's nose,

This is also considered a close minister. This is definitely a good thing! Concubine Chen said that the emperor had such an idea, but no one heard the emperor mention it. So these people decided that this was the benefit given to them by Concubine Chen. With such great benefits, they could still point fingers at Concubine Chen? He couldn't help but sigh that this woman was really amazing. He couldn't help but be curious and comforted the royal family. So how should Gan arrange for them, the courtiers?

But Gan did not rush to speak, but looked at the faces of the princes one by one, "What? I think it's not suitable?"

Where would it be inappropriate? I don’t know how many lifetimes of luck this has been cultivated.

Prince Yu nodded: "Since it is your Majesty's intention, then do as your Majesty's wishes."

He was really good at speaking. He just pressed what Gan said on Emperor Yongkang at once, which was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.

Jin Chengan frowned. He was a little confused about Concubine Chen's pulse. Logically speaking, he had the same interests as her. Why did he choose other people from the royal family? His fourth son-in-law is Concubine Chen's son-in-law.

Thinking of this, the look at Concubine Chen looked strange.

Gan's keen sensed Jin Cheng'an's gaze. She raised her head and looked at Jin Cheng'an with a sharp look: "Duke Jing!" She called out, her voice a little cold.

Everyone looked at Jin Cheng'an. Although he was still a member of the royal family, he suddenly seemed isolated.

Guo Changhe thought to himself: It turns out that Concubine Chen comforted and won over the royal family, and another purpose was to isolate Jin Cheng'an.

Jin Chengan just now jumped around and made the emperor so angry that he really put in a lot of effort. If he really didn't punish him, it would be a bit unreasonable. Moreover, he is Yuan Ge'er's biological grandfather, and the royal family must be happy to see him defeated.

Concubine Chen pursed her lips and said, "Rumors are everywhere in the capital, and Your Majesty is worried about it day and night. You are your Majesty's confidant, and you have to deal with the matter in the capital. I mean, you should first step down the position of commander of the Imperial Guard and take up the position of the Military Command of the Five Cities. Make good rectification of the public security in the capital!"

Jing'an Hou's eyes lit up suddenly.

High! This move is really high!

The prince is not in the palace, and there is only the so-called descendant Yuan Ge'er in the palace, and this child is Kim Sung-an's grandson. In such a situation, it is inappropriate to ask him to be stationed in the palace. What if he is selfish and prevents the prince from returning to the palace in order to support his grandson? This is a very likely thing for him to guard the palace gate. If he is a little cruel, he will kill the prince who has returned quietly? What if the royal family sends the child into the palace, he will probably feel uneasy. Coming in means robbing Yuan Ge'er's opportunity. Can Kim Sung-an allow such a thing to have? What if the child has an accident in the palace? This is not impossible. Therefore, Kim Sung-an can no longer serve as the commander of the imperial guards.

But it is not appropriate to really cut off this person's official position directly. Because the premise now is that in everyone's eyes, the emperor is still alive. So why should the emperor take action with his confidant? There must be a reason. So, how can he place Jin Cheng'an? The commander of the Five City Military and Horses, this is a good position. At this moment, the capital is in chaos. The emperor asked his confidant to come forward to stabilize the hearts of the people in the capital. This is completely in danger. No one would think too much. Besides, the commander of the Imperial Guard and the commander of the Five City Military and Horses, have the same official position. At least, to outsiders, it seems like this. But in fact, Concubine Chen demoted Jin Cheng'an, which was a punishment for his joint efforts with Concubine Li.

Jin Cheng'an sat on the chair without saying anything for a while. But Gan did not give him a chance to speak, and said directly: "As for the candidate for the Imperial Guard, what do you think of Lin Changgen?"

ah?

ah!

Who doesn’t know that Lin Changgen and Gan were once husband and wife? But no one expected that Concubine Chen would lift this person out so calmly.

Isn't it suitable? It doesn't seem to be. But why do you think you don't pinch it like this?

Gan was very open-minded and said bluntly: "Your Majesty also trusts Lin Changgen very much."

Yes! If you don’t trust, you can’t entrust women and children to take care of them like this.

"I know everyone is worried about the melon field and the rumors." Gan shook his head, "But this is what His Majesty meant after all."

Why did you forget? Isn’t Your Majesty still ‘alive’ now? So, His Majesty gave Lin Changgen the position, who can say what?

People outside don’t say anything, but they just feel awkward when they sit. In their eyes, this is the widow who just died and found her ex-husband to come to visit her. How can there be no trick?

Gan said frankly: "If I had a ghost in my heart, I would not have proposed this arrangement on my own initiative." As she said that, she looked at Jin Chengan with a deep meaning in her eyes.

Jin Chengan's lips were originally pursed and suddenly let go. Lin Changgen is Yuan Ge'er's grandfather. No one knows that Lin Changgen's eldest daughter is the concubine of his son and gave birth to Yuan Ge'er. These royal children entered the palace. Could it be that no one had any bad intentions towards Yuan Ge'er? But if this position was handed over to Lin Changgen, although he would not rebel for the sake of the child, there was no reason not to protect Yuan Ge'er. What's more, he was the adoptive father of Princess Yunyin. When the birth was distributed on that day, Lin Changgen fought for the adopted daughter. At that time, Prince Heng had no clues to win. In other words, there was no possibility of no relationship between the father and daughter. The imperial guards handed over to him was beneficial to Yuan Ge'er and the fourth brother. In fact, not only did he not lose anything, he had an additional force of the Five City Military and Ma Si.

According to this, Concubine Chen was openly demoting herself, but enriching the strength of Yun Yin and the fourth child.

I had no reason to refuse to give in. So I stood up and bowed, "I think it's very appropriate. The candidate chosen by the Empress is very suitable."

Everyone couldn't think of Yuan Ge'er, but they could think of Princess Yunyin. They all thought that Concubine Chen was seeking benefits for her daughter. But the current situation is like this, it's just a row of fruits. If Concubine Chen didn't want to do anything, then no one believed it.

Since Jin Chengan himself had no objection, the matter was decided. This appointment did not harm anyone's interests, but was in line with the interests of the royal family. Therefore, Gan's proposal was passed again,

Gan's voice changed and looked at Marquis Jing'an: "Now the border is unstable, and you still need to serve an old coach like you. I wonder what the Marquis thinks?"

Avoid the vortex and guard the border to fight, regardless of success or failure, and make contributions to the country. Even if you die in the border, your descendants will be favored. The Marquis of Jing'an immediately stood up and saluted: "It's the matter of my own affairs, how dare you not obey orders?"

Gan looked at the other people: "What do you think?"

"good!"

"appropriate!"

As soon as everyone spoke, the matter was settled. Gan sat on it and grasped the rhythm steadily.

Guo Changhe thought to himself that now only he and the six ministers were left without being appeased. He just didn't know what tricks this imperial concubine had.

Just as he was thinking, Gan looked over: "Prime Minister Guo and the six masters have a heavier burden on their shoulders. Many major events in the world are waiting for His Majesty to make a decision. But His Majesty... Now, we can only count on a few masters! His Majesty said yesterday that he was seriously ill and was quite helpless in political affairs. He once proposed the idea of ​​establishing a deliberate cabinet. I think this idea can be tried one or two. Prime Minister Guo led the six ministers to form the deliberate cabinet. The daily affairs of the six ministries will be handled by the deliberate cabinet. If there is anything that needs to be reported to Your Majesty, you can take it to the deliberate cabinet and everyone will discuss it. The deliberate cabinet will be chaired by Prime Minister Guo. After the discussion, the queen can issue an order. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet. The power given was great!

The six ministers were surprised, but Guo Changhe's heart was beating. This thing was so tempting. But the tempting things were usually poisonous. He stood up and bowed: "I really can't take on this important task." The other six people were not responsible for the matter, they had a prominent status, but they had little responsibility. But what about himself? It seemed that he had the power of the emperor, but no one dared to say anything when the emperor made a mistake. He made a little mistake, but he had to lose his head. He couldn't do this! "I'll ask the Empress to take back his life."

Gan smiled in his heart. This guy was smarter than others. So he continued: "Prime Minister Guo is someone His Majesty trusts, and His Majesty's vision will never be wrong." As she said that, she changed her tone and said comfortingly, "Besides, will the queen still have to use a seal in the end? If this is inappropriate, it will be the same if you consider it later."

As soon as this was said, others hadn't reacted. But Guo Changhe's sweat was all over. The queen used the jade seal for the emperor. He didn't take this to heart just now. But now when he heard Concubine Chen's last words, he suddenly understood her plan. The queen was unconscious, so the real thing was Concubine Chen. The Concubine seemed to be the leader of the Concubine Chen, but the final decision was not in his hands, but in the last link, he used the seal! If Concubine Chen disagreed, then the decision of the Concubine Chen was a piece of waste paper. Do you dare to stand up and challenge? Don't you dare! The power in your hands is already

It is envious. If you are too persistent, you will only make people feel that you are covering the sky with one hand. In this way, you will die faster! So, the final result is that no matter what you think in your heart, whether you are willing to cooperate with Concubine Chen or not, you can only cooperate with this path. He smiled bitterly in his heart. Now that the people in the hall were stuffed with fat, everyone got benefits. She has achieved the ultimate benefit. Therefore, they will not oppose her current decision. If they oppose, the six ministers behind him will have to hate him first. But now that he knows so many secrets, he wants to retreat but cannot. It is really difficult!

Let’s just do it! Let’s do it first. How many more days will be counted as a matter of days. He said stiffly: “Thank you, Your Majesty and the Empress, for your trust. You will definitely work diligently and dare not bear the burden.”

The six ministers were filled with uncontrollable excitement, but they did not dare to show any joy. The expression on their faces was a little weird. They followed Guo Changhe and said, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty and the Empress's trust!"

Gan seemed to feel relieved: "Political affairs are handed over to you, Your Majesty is very relieved." Then he said: "Leave the border to Marquis Jing'an, Your Majesty is even more let go. Leave the forbidden palace to Lin Changgen, this... I am also relieved. And I have nothing to worry about in the stability of the capital to Duke Jin." As he said that, his brows frowned, "Only this Imperial Guard is related to the safety of the capital. It just happens that this is an internal and external troubles, and there is no mistake. I feel a little relieved. In my opinion, the positions of the generals of the Imperial Guard remain unchanged. But now it is not as good as before. I want to ask Yun Yin to be a nominal supervisor in the Imperial Guard. What do you think?"

Everyone raised their eyebrows. This arrangement was amazing. If Princess Yunyin could really control the Imperial Guard. Then the status of Concubine Chen would be easily shaken. The capital was divided into three parts: the capital, the inner and outer cities, and the Forbidden Palace. The outermost capital was handed over to Princess Yunyin, the capital was handed over to Jin Cheng'an, and the Forbidden Palace was handed over to Lin Changgen. These were all on the line of Princess Yunyin. Holding heavy troops in his hand, no one could shake his status.

"No!" Gan looked at Taoist Master Xu: "Your Majesty is just in good health. You still need the Taoist Master to accompany you. Do you understand?"

Lexu's face showed confusion, and then he looked afraid. After a long time, he said, "I understand."

When everyone saw the look of Xu, they thought to themselves that this old Taoist is really a wise man. They know that once a person like him knows the secret, they will probably not be able to survive. Therefore, they feel scared. They do not connect him with Gan at all.

Only then did the Gan family say to several ministers: "This is the end of today's discussion. Everyone should go and do it. The relevant imperial edict will be announced later."

The few people quickly stood up and bowed to leave. In a blink of an eye, there were only three women left in the hall, as well as Emperor Yongkang lying on the couch.

Lin Fanghua has been sitting behind the pillar, afraid that people will think of her. Now I dare not come out to see Gan.
To be continued...
